Chapter 686: Shen Liang Vs Bai Xueqing
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Bai Xueqing attacked Shen Liang without holding back.Clang! Clang! Clank!
Sword Qi and violent Qi collided repeatedly.
Shen Liang charged forward, his blood-red eyes completely consumed by madness.
"You!"
His furious roar echoed through the barrier.
"When did you become so powerful?!"
He had originally believed that after forcibly raising his cultivation to the Peak Void Refinement Realm, capturing Bai Xueqing would be effortless.
Instead, reality completely shattered his confidence.
From the beginning of the battle until now, he hadn’t gained the slightest advantage.
Every attack he launched was calmly neutralized.
Every technique he used was effortlessly avoided.
He couldn’t even touch the corner of Bai Xueqing’s sleeve.
On the other hand, Bai Xueqing remained astonishingly composed.
Her movements were elegant and graceful.
Every swing of her sword flowed naturally like drifting snow.
She wasn’t fighting desperately.
She was simply overwhelming him with pure skill.
The difference between them became increasingly obvious.
"No!"
Shen Liang roared.
"I refuse to believe it!"
His already unstable mind descended further into madness.
Violent energy exploded from his body.
"I’ll subdue you! I’ll make you kneel!"
"I’ll make you acknowledge me!"
His attacks became increasingly reckless.
Bai Xueqing silently watched him.
She neither mocked nor argued.
To her...
Shen Liang had already become someone unworthy of words.
Slash!
A brilliant streak of icy sword light flashed across the battlefield.
Before Shen Liang could react, his right arm flew into the air.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
His expression froze yet something unbelievable happened.
The severed arm suddenly trembled.
Countless crimson strands rapidly connected the broken limb to the wound.
Within a single breath, the arm reattached itself perfectly.
Not even a scar remained.
It was as though it had never been severed.
Bai Xueqing’s brows furrowed slightly.
(What kind of sorcery is this?)
Calling it regeneration would be an understatement.
She had seen regenerative physiques before.
Even those legendary physiques required time to recover.
Some needed several breaths.
Others required precious medicinal pills.
Yet Shen Liang’s body recovered almost instantly.
It wasn’t merely healing.
It was as though reality itself had been rewritten.
His arm had simply... returned.
Shen Liang looked at his restored hand before laughing wildly.
"Hahaha! You can’t kill me!"
His confidence instantly surged.
Without hesitation, he charged once more.
Bai Xueqing’s gaze remained calm.
If severing an arm wasn’t enough, then she would simply cut off something more vital.
Her figure disappeared.
The next instant—
Slash!
Her sword swept across Shen Liang’s neck.
His head flew high into the air.
Any ordinary cultivator would undoubtedly die after such a strike.
Yet the headless body remained standing.
Then, before the severed head even touched the ground, it transformed into countless crimson threads.
The body below did the same.
The countless threads intertwined in midair.
Within moments, Shen Liang stood there once again, completely unharmed.
He casually twisted his neck.
Crack! Crack!
"Hahaha! I already told you. You can’t kill me!"
Bai Xueqing narrowed her eyes.
Without hesitation—
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Her sword danced continuously.
One moment, Shen Liang was split in half.
The next moment, his chest exploded.
Then both legs were severed.
His torso was cut apart repeatedly.
Blood filled the courtyard.
Yet every single time, his shattered body reconstructed itself.
Again and again!
It was as though his body had become completely unkillable.
Even Bai Xueqing felt a trace of surprise.
She had never encountered such an abnormal ability before.
No matter how many times she cut him down, it accomplished nothing.
Meanwhile, Shen Liang’s emotions became even more chaotic.
Originally, he had believed this newfound power would allow him to completely overwhelm Bai Xueqing.
Instead, he realized something horrifying.
Even after reaching the Peak Void Refinement Realm, he still couldn’t touch her.
Every attack he launched missed.
Every technique was dismantled before it could reach her.
Bai Xueqing treated him like nothing more than a training dummy.
One sword after another landed upon his body.
He was continuously blown backward.
The battle had completely reversed his expectations.
He possessed an immortal body, yet he couldn’t even force Bai Xueqing to retreat a single step.
His confidence gradually turned into disbelief.
Then disbelief became humiliation.
Finally, it transformed into uncontrollable fury.
"Impossible!"
He roared hysterically.
"Why?! Why can’t I even touch you?!"
His maddened roar echoed throughout the isolated courtyard.
Bai Xueqing merely pointed her sword toward him.
Her icy eyes remained as calm as ever.
Although Bai Xueqing held the absolute upper hand in her battle against Shen Liang, she knew the overall situation was anything but favorable.
Her sword could suppress him.
It could slice him apart countless times, yet it couldn’t kill him.
However, her master’s situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.
Despite her profound strength, Qinglan was facing two Great Ascension Realm cultivators by herself.
She was barely managing to hold them back.
Every exchange pushed her slightly further onto the defensive.
The moment Qinglan fell...
Those two Great Ascension Realm cultivators would immediately join forces with Shen Liang.
At that point, even Bai Xueqing would have no chance of escaping.
Her eyes quickly swept across the battlefield.
Her mind rapidly searched for a solution.
"If I can’t kill you, then I’ll simply immobilize you."
The Qi within her body erupted.
An incomparably cold aura spread throughout the courtyard.
"Glacial Heaven Seal—Absolute Frost Domain!"
Boom!
An endless tide of icy qi exploded outward with Bai Xueqing at its center.
The entire courtyard was instantly engulfed by a world of absolute frost.
Layers upon layers of ice spread across the ground.
The surrounding air froze solid.
Shen Liang’s expression changed drastically.
"What?!"
Before he could react—
Crack!
Ice rapidly climbed up his legs.
Then his waist.
Then his chest.
Within moments, Shen Liang had been completely sealed inside a gigantic block of crystalline ice.
His crazed expression remained frozen upon his face.
However, Bai Xueqing’s attack had never been aimed solely at Shen Liang.
The freezing domain continued expanding.
It quickly reached the two Great Ascension Realm cultivators battling Qinglan.
Crack!
Ice immediately began climbing up their feet as they were caught off guard.
Their movements slowed considerably.
Qinglan’s eyes brightened.
"What powerful freezing Qi!"
Unfortunately, the difference in cultivation was simply too great.
The moment the frost reached their knees—
Boom!
Violent Qi erupted from both Great Ascension Realm experts.
Their overwhelming cultivation instantly shattered the surrounding ice.
Crack! Crack!
Qinglan immediately retreated several hundred meters.
In a single flash, she arrived beside Bai Xueqing.
Both master and disciple now stood back to back.
Qinglan took a deep breath.
For the first time since the battle began, she had a brief chance to recover.
Her expression, however, remained extremely grave.
She lowered her voice.
"Xueqing. We’re trapped."
Her eyes briefly glanced around the surrounding space.
"The barrier is still active. I’ll hold them off. You break through the barrier and send a distress message."
Bai Xueqing immediately shook her head.
"No!"
Her answer was decisive.
"I won’t abandon you, Master."
Qinglan frowned.
"This isn’t the time to be emotional. Listen to me. If we both remain here, neither of us may survive."
Bai Xueqing calmly gripped her sword.
She understood Qinglan’s intentions.
However, she also understood the reality before them.
"If I leave, you won’t be able to stop all three of them."
Her voice remained calm.
"Against three opponents of this level, you won’t even have a chance to retreat. Much less for me to break the barrier."
Qinglan remained silent.
Because Bai Xueqing was right.
Even holding back one Great Ascension Realm cultivator had already pushed her to her limits.
How could she possibly hold back another?
If they chose to separate and pursue Bai Xueqing, she would be completely powerless to stop them.
Bai Xueqing continued.
"Our best chance is to remain together. As long as we keep stalling them, there is still hope."
She looked toward the sky beyond the invisible barrier.
"The Heaven Sword Sect will eventually realize something is wrong. This battle has already gone on for far too long."
"Even if the barrier blocks sound and spiritual fluctuations, our disappearance cannot remain hidden forever."
Her eyes became even more resolute.
"And even if the Heaven Sword Sect somehow fails to notice..."
A faint warmth finally appeared within her otherwise icy gaze.
"My family will."
Crack!
The gigantic block of ice imprisoning Shen Liang suddenly exploded.
Shen Liang stumbled out.
His face was extremely ugly.
The frost covering his body slowly melted away.
His blood-red eyes were fixed upon Bai Xueqing.
There was unwillingness.
There was humiliation.
And above all, there was rage.
One of the Great Ascension Realm cultivators glanced at him before speaking calmly.
"Young Master. Do you still wish to fight Miss Bai alone?"
His tone carried neither mockery nor contempt.
It merely stated the obvious.
From the very beginning, Shen Liang had specifically ordered them not to interfere.
He wanted to defeat Bai Xueqing personally.
He wanted to prove that he was no longer the weak man who had once been effortlessly suppressed by her.
He wanted Bai Xueqing to witness his newfound strength.
To admire him.
To acknowledge him.
That was why the two of them had remained occupied with Qinglan instead of helping Shen Liang.
Unfortunately, reality had proven far crueler than Shen Liang had imagined.
Not only had he failed to defeat Bai Xueqing, he hadn’t even managed to land a single meaningful attack.
Instead, he had been treated like nothing more than a target.
If not for his terrifying regenerative ability, he would have died countless times already.
Even the two Great Ascension Realm cultivators couldn’t help feeling astonished.
Bai Xueqing’s strength had already surpassed Qinglan’s.
Despite Qinglan possessing a higher cultivation realm, Bai Xueqing’s swordsmanship and control over Qi were clearly superior.
If Bai Xueqing were to step into the Great Ascension Realm, even the two of them together might not be her match.
Shen Liang clenched his fists.
Crack!
His fingernails dug into his palms once again.
His entire body trembled.
Humiliation.
Utter humiliation.
His expression twisted violently.
The last trace of reason disappeared from his eyes.
"I don’t care anymore!"
He roared hysterically.
"Forget fighting one-on-one!"
He suddenly pointed at Bai Xueqing.
"Kidnap her!"
His voice became crazed.
"All of you attack together. We’re taking her back to the Shen Clan and completing our task!"
