Above the vast wooden forest, Bai Sheng, looking extremely disheveled, swallowed a healing Spirit Pill and glanced apprehensively at the still-raging storm far away, where black and white intertwined in the void.

At the very center of the storm, he was meant to absorb all the damage inflicted by the storm. Had he truly borne the full brunt of the attack, even he would have suffered severe injuries.

Fortunately, a flash of inspiration reminded him that while the Dongtian Xuan Yue Ring couldn't help him escape the space, it posed no issue in moving within it.

It was by directly employing the profound mysteries of the Dongtian Xuan Yue Ring that he escaped from the center of the storm. Otherwise, with the terrifying gravitational pull emanating from the storm, his chances of getting out would have been slim.

Bai Sheng glanced at his left arm, now a bloodied mess, with fresh red blood dripping from his fingertips.

His mouth was also filled with an overwhelmingly strong taste of blood; he couldn't even tell whether it was from biting his own tongue in anger or an internal injury caused by the Black Sun Storm.

Even after taking the healing Spirit Pill, Bai Sheng still felt his organs churning tumultuously, an indescribably discomfort and agony consuming him.

"It's been so many years since I've been this disheveled..."

Bai Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze dark and fierce as he stared at Liang Yi and Su Youyi, who had appeared before him.

The chief culprit was undoubtedly Wan Tinggui, and he knew full well that even Tian Anyu, Wan Tinggui's father, couldn't contain his fury upon discovering his daughter's defection and betrayal of the Devouring Spirit Sect, issuing a kill-on-sight order against all sect members.

So much so that Tian Anyu even utilized his status within the Abyss to place Wan Tinggui on the same level as Liang Yi, marking them as free for anyone to kill.

Tian Anyu, a man who chose the path of ruthlessness, harbored no so-called familial affection in his heart. All he wanted from the very beginning was power, and anything in his path was nothing but a stumbling block.

"Been plotting for a long time, haven't you?"

Bai Sheng asked Liang Yi coldly. Such a detailed and elaborate plan to corner him into a desperate situation couldn't have been conceived overnight.

The whole plan was linked together like a chain, and any misstep that aroused his suspicion would not have led to the current situation.

Without confirming or denying, Liang Yi responded in silence.

How could he know how long Wan Tinggui had thought out this plan? Perhaps it was being plotted ever since that woman defected from the Devouring Spirit Sect. He and his junior sister might have just been coincidentally dragged in to help; they had absolutely nothing to do with the preparation of the entire plan.

"So it's true that Wan Tinggui had already colluded with you..."

Not receiving the answer he wanted, Bai Sheng wasn't in a hurry and continued to speak out.

"Senior brother, he's stalling for time..."

Su Youyi's beautiful eyes sharpened, and with Lovesick drawn, she raised her hand, unleashing a sky-shattering slash of Sword Qi!

Having taken the Spirit Pill, Bai Sheng would need some time for the medicine to take effect. The recent battle had left Wan Tinggui and Yue Bai both extremely weak, and Bai Sheng, at the center of the Black Sun Storm, was even more so.

"Hmph..."

With a dark expression, Bai Sheng snorted coldly. Of course, he intended to drag out the time; otherwise, with his temperament, how could he possibly exchange pleasantries with these people after suffering such a loss?

Under normal circumstances, Bai Sheng would have already sent them one by one into Infinite Hell, to let them taste the torment of being tormented in hell for millions of years.

Su Youyi attacked with full force, and even though Bai Sheng was still gravely injured, he was an existence of the Eighth Realm, a whole major Realm above them.

Seeing his junior sister's action, Liang Yi's Yuan Zhou sword sung softly, and in unison with him, transformed into a beam of sword light following closely behind Su Youyi.

"Clang! Clang!"

Bai Sheng swung his clawed hands, and after two crisp sounds, the surging strength transmitted through the claws caused Bai Sheng's heart to tighten, as he watched the two figures bearing Immortal Swords slashing towards him from both sides.

"These two have grown significantly stronger!"

How long had it been since he last encountered this group in the Blood Demon Secret Realm, and this pair of senior and junior had made such dramatic progress!

"But even if they are stronger, they are still at the Seventh Realm..."

The sound of Longswords clashing with claws rang out incessantly, "Clang clang bang bang," without a moment's pause. The powerful sword techniques were executed to the extreme by Liang Yi and Su Youyi, yet they struggled to breach Bai Sheng's defenses.

The trio fought fiercely, escalating the intensity of the battle to its peak from the very moment they engaged.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi symbolized two starkly different Sword Daos, exemplifying the sharpness of the swordsmanship in the world, while Bai Sheng was like a White Tiger, immovable as a mountain yet swift as thunder, tirelessly resisting the relentless onslaught from the two like a tempest!

Bai Sheng grew increasingly alarmed. Had there not been a person right before him, he might have thought he was contending against a Sword Cultivator of the Eighth Realm.

The sophistication of these two's coordination had completely refreshed Bai Sheng's understanding; not even an exchange of glances between them, just staring intently at him, yet they fought as if they were a single, top-tier Sword Cultivator, suppressing him firmly.

He was at a disadvantage against two Seventh Realm Cultivators!

The White Tiger kept roaring, seeking a perfect opportunity to counterattack. His lethality was not inferior to a Sword Cultivator's; with just a chance, he could heavily injure both Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

Liang Yi felt as if he and his junior sister were performing a stunningly beautiful and magnificent duet on a thin wire strung over a cliff, captivating the soul!

A single mistake by either of them at any point would send them plummeting into an abyss of no return!

Bai Sheng's eyes were fixed on them, his thoughts laid bare, seeking to psychologically pressure them.

But feeling his junior sister's breath close at hand, Liang Yi's heart would become immensely calm, unaffected even as Mount Tai collapses before him, suppressing any thought that could shake his mental state.

He trusted his junior sister, just as she now trusted him.

They both believed in each other, that neither would make a mistake, and that they would present this beautiful Sword Dao performance perfectly!

Su Youyi had already unleashed her Sword Dao Emperor's Crown, summoning countless Sword Intents from the void to continuously strengthen the sword in her hand.

Liang Yi, as well, took advantage of this special state he shared with his junior sister to bestow the Cliff Sword Intent upon them, significantly reducing the pressure of facing the Eighth Realm.

Attack, the two of them attacked together!

Defend, the two of them defended together!

The flaw Bai Sheng was desperately waiting for seemed like wishful thinking, as the duo not only didn't show any weakness but became smoother in their coordination, leading Bai Sheng to even question whether they could make a mistake.

This was a battle of patience, a contest to see who would lose their composure first.

The trio battled fiercely, with killing intent and Sword Intent rampaging through the void, disturbing the flow of Spiritual Power around them, leaving the continent beneath them pockmarked from the aftermath of their fight.

Glancing over, the land was scarred, the only untouched part was where Wan Tinggui and Yue Bai, who were actively using Arrays to heal near the Blood Purification Sect's Inheritance Land.

The already small Secret Realm continent had fractured into several large pieces, and if not for the extreme sturdiness of space here, it would have been cracked by the combatants.

Even the nearby Black Sun Storm was hewn and gradually dissipated due to the trio's struggle.

Bai Sheng's most critical advantage was his Realm, spanning a major gap allowed him to make many mistakes in this standoff.

But Liang Yi and Su Youyi could not afford even one mistake, for if caught by Bai Sheng, they would undoubtedly be gravely injured.

An Eighth Realm Cultivator, compared to a Seventh Realm Cultivator, not only has a gap in their Realm but also in the application of Laws. While a Seventh Realm cultivator is just beginning to find their path and touch upon the Laws, an Eighth Realm has mastered using these Laws to perform incredible feats.

Knowing this, Su Youyi, despite having summoned her Sword Dao Domain and millions of Sword Intents, remained cautious in her collision with Bai Sheng's Laws, quickly retracting after each contact.

Even so, with every collision of sword and claw, Bai Sheng would wipe away a large amount of Su Youyi's Sword Intent.

The path Bai Sheng followed, the Killing Dao, could not only exterminate living beings—his control over the Laws meant that anything within his capabilities could be killed, including Su Youyi's Sword Intents.

The Sword Intents killed and erased by Bai Sheng felt non-existent to Su Youyi and could not be summoned again in a short period.

But Su Youyi's Sword Intent Emperor's Crown was mysterious, drawing on the River of Sword Intent which involved the Time Law; each Sword Intent was extracted from this river that flowed through past and present.

Bai Sheng, although powerful, could not directly erase these Sword Intents from their source connected to the river of time, only preventing Su Youyi from summoning them again.

Su Youyi also noticed this; ordinary Sword Intents were easily erased by Bai Sheng and couldn't even inflict minor injuries.

Thus, from the start, she reduced the summoning of Sword Intents, focusing instead on their quality.

Summoning these Sword Intents naturally came at a price; the stronger the Sword Intent, the greater the cost of summoning it.

But to defeat Bai Sheng, Su Youyi understood that a price had to be paid.

"Clang!"

It wasn't Su Youyi but Liang Yi beside her who first made another move.

Yuan Zhou vibrated, daylight departed, and the world plunged into solitude and darkness!

But unlike the darkness brought by the black sun, the darkness created by Liang Yi using Yuan Zhou as the medium was illuminated by starlight!

"Trying to face me with killing intent? How arrogant..." Bai Sheng couldn't help but laugh in anger when he saw seven stars light up in the sky and one by one imbue Liang Yi's sword with unparalleled killing intent.

"Whether it's useful or not, let's find out."

Although Liang Yi's mouth bore a smile, his gaze was frosty as he stared at Bai Sheng, not caring for the mockery, he swung down with all his might, the sword light illuminating the entire Secret Realm!

"Roar!"

Facing this sword that seemed like a provocation, Bai Sheng conjured the phantom of a White Tiger around him and roared furiously at the astonishing sword light, biting down on it directly.

In the next moment, heaven and earth trembled! Sounds dissipated in the clash between the sword light and the White Tiger's phantom, leaving only the initial brightness.
