Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 378 - 374: One Sword Cuts Down Dongfang Baiyu

Chapter 378: Chapter 374: One Sword Cuts Down Dongfang Baiyu

Xia Tianming could visibly see those retreating loose cultivators’ expressions turn greedy again, their bodies subtly moving forward to surround the direction of the mountain peak.

Meanwhile, Xia Tianming was being held back by Dongfang Baiyu.

He was self-aware, knowing he couldn’t handle Xia Feng, and making a hasty move could likely lead to embarrassment.

But it was different with Xia Tianming; Dongfang Baiyu was confident he could take down Xia Tianming.

Especially as Xia Tianming’s secret technique slowly dissipated, his entire aura gradually becoming weak.

Just as Dongfang Baiyu was preparing to capture Xia Tianming to threaten Xia Feng, the sword qi that pierced through the clouds suddenly exploded, flattening the surrounding environment.

Those loose cultivators nearby were directly shredded by the sword qi, their bodies intact.

The remaining ones immediately began to scatter in all directions.

This was completely different from what Dongfang Baiyu said about divine power exhaustion.

Treasures were undoubtedly important, but one needed to be alive to enjoy them.

Just as Dongfang Baiyu was about to instigate the surrounding loose cultivators to serve as cannon fodder once again, a sword qi directly attacked Dongfang Baiyu’s forehead.

He couldn’t describe the appearance of that sword qi, neither fully white nor black.

The two colors blended together strangely, forming this peculiar sword qi.

The feeling of breaking through the skies with unstoppable momentum made Dongfang Baiyu’s lips tremble slightly for a moment.

He couldn’t describe his feeling at that moment, as if nothing else existed in the world except for this sword qi that he seemed unable to see.

The surrounding loose cultivators paused, their gaze faintly on the sword qi, as if they felt something in Xia Feng’s move.

This was the strongest move from the Heaven-Burying Divine Technique, ’Heaven Opening,’ a sword that cleaves the heavens and earth.

The contained Great Dao rules would likely overwhelm an ordinary Martial Sovereign, causing them to explode directly.

Unfortunately, everyone present was a Martial God, and all were Earth Tier Martial Gods.

Xia Feng might only make these Martial Gods uncontrollably explode if he reached the level of Celestial God or True God and had a more refined mastery of this sword technique.

For now, it only added some insight to their hearts.

However, Dongfang Baiyu had a different thought.

His expression became increasingly terrified as the sword technique approached. He wanted to escape, but the faint fluctuations from that sword technique made his heart stiffen, knowing he was locked.

The sword technique appeared fast to outsiders, yet slow to him, like a blunt knife grinding flesh.

He knew this sword qi would kill him, but he couldn’t escape or resist.

It was as if he stood there waiting for death, watching that sword qi continuously merge, finally splitting in two, with a black sword qi entering his dantian, crushing his Divine Fire Platform.

The other white sword qi pierced into his sea of consciousness, utterly shredding his divine sense and soul.

During this period, he couldn’t even perform basic defense, not even lifting his arm.

Xia Tianming’s aura became increasingly weak, but he still stepped forward to grab Dongfang Baiyu’s body, not letting him fall.

The surrounding loose cultivators greedily glanced at Dongfang Baiyu’s corpse.

This was the Dongfang Clan’s genius core disciple; who knew how many good things were in his storage ring?

But such thoughts remained just that.

No one dared actually to step forward to claim Dongfang Baiyu’s body.

Partly, they didn’t dare offend the Dongfang Clan, and partly because Xia Feng in the mountain wasn’t known for his treatment towards them.

Jumping out now would be asking to become an example for Xia Feng’s warning.

Even the Dongfang Clan’s genius core disciple couldn’t withstand Xia Feng’s sword qi; wouldn’t they be sending themselves to death by stepping forward?

The black vortex driven by Xia Tianming’s Great Dao of Space in mid-air began to gradually dissipate.

Replaced by Xia Feng’s unknown Great Dao, black and white sword qi flew around in the air, crushing the vortex and then regrouping into the mountain peak.

Xia Feng stepped out, his figure fully appearing before everyone.

Unlike what everyone imagined as a spent force, Xia Feng’s divine power continued to surge, fully restored.

The surrounding loose cultivators and the lackeys of the Four Great Clans didn’t look too good.

Compared to when at the Colorless Divine Vein, Xia Feng’s cultivation unexpectedly rose by a layer, now already a Profound Tier Seventh Martial God. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Considering his almost unreasonable cross-tier combat ability, everyone just wanted to flee hastily; no one wanted to stay and fight.

Just then, a nearby hill began emitting a phenomenon, with all the divine power in the surroundings frantically converging in that direction.

Someone shouted: "Another secret treasure is emerging."

Then, the thoughts of these people began to stir.

It was evident that Xia Feng here couldn’t be stopped anytime soon.

Although they didn’t know why he hadn’t attacked yet, it didn’t hinder the cunning thoughts of these loose cultivators.

They quietly shouted: "Scatter and flee, he can’t possibly keep all of us here."

After saying that, they quickly fled toward the place where the secret treasure emerged.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow slightly, stepping forward.

The surrounding loose cultivators cautiously watched him, then glanced at the fleeing person.

Seeing that Xia Feng had no intention to act, only coming to support the staggering Xia Tianming, then took Dongfang Baiyu’s body casually.

These loose cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They had forgotten, beside Xia Feng was still Xia Tianming who suffered backlash after using a secret technique.

If he were to act forcefully, Xia Tianming might also suffer attacks from the loose cultivators.

Unlike now, where the loose cultivators, wary of Xia Feng, dared not make a move, and Xia Feng, mindful, did not attack either.

A few loose cultivators’ eyes rolled around, seemingly attempting some tricks.

The people nearby quickly pulled them back, preventing them from provoking that bane.

Xia Feng’s eyes turned slightly cold, looking towards the direction of the commotion, speaking coldly: "Everyone rest assured, our matters aren’t over."

"If any of you want to escape, then find a corner and shiver until the secret realm door opens again."

"If you still want to continue fighting with me, then wait for me where the secret treasure is emerging in front."

The slight curve at the corner of his lips carried a cold meaning: "I declare, from now on, all secret treasures in the Infinite Secret Realm belong to me."

After saying that, he took Xia Tianming back into the mountain peak, evidently to heal Xia Tianming.

At this moment, interrupting their recovery could effectively diminish both’s combat power, but no one dared to step forward.
