Boom…

Tsao Suiyan’s corpse crashed into the sand from the air.

Boom!

Phantasmal Shadow saw this scene behind a sand hill in the distance. She sucked in sharp breaths and instinctively stood up from behind the sand hill!

Wu Kuo and the other Wind Assault Tower higher-ups noticed that Tsao Suiyan had died in Dongfang Bubai’s hands at the same time. Looks of incredible shock and disbelief appeared on them simultaneously.

This was just too shocking and unexpected.

They did not expect that things would end this way.

The group originally thought when the alliance master worked together with Tsao Suiyan to fight against Dongfang Bubai after his qi deviated, they would definitely witness an astonishing fight, and the fight would last for some time.

The group had even made preparations to watch the fight from a distance!

But this scene caught all of them off guard.

Tsao Suiyan was not Dongfang Bubai’s opponent. Immediately into the fight, he died in the desert. This caused them to be dumbfounded for a few seconds, and they thought that they were dreaming.

“What’s going on?”

Someone cried out behind them.

His words finally snapped Phantasmal Shadow out of her daze. Her eyes focused, and she quickly whispered a private message to her tower members behind her. “From now on, pay attention! The situation has changed. We are to be prepared to take action at any moment! We cannot let Dongfang Bubai leave with Tiger Soul!” Tsao Suiyan’s sudden death had thrown Phantasmal Shadow’s original plan into a loop. It also caused her tower members to lose their cool!

It was very clear that Tiger Soul had become even more brutal and fierce after it had devoured tens of thousands of martial artists’ blood. It seemed like it had gained new abilities, making Dongfang Bubai to become even more unfathomable. Even though he had his qi deviated, he had gained immeasurable power.

In this sort of situation, Phantasmal Shadow could no longer try to deduce Dongfang Bubai’s strength based on her previous train of thought, and neither could she try to predict just how high were his chances of winning against the alliance master.

Now that Dongfang Bubai had become even more unfathomable, the alliance master could no longer hope to compare to him. Perhaps the alliance master would even die in the next second…

Even though Dongfang Bubai had become even more terrifying, Tiger Soul’s strength had also stimulated Phantasmal Shadow and the others.

When they looked at Tiger Soul, their gazes became even more intense.

Now, more than ever, they could not allow Dongfang Bubai to leave their deserts and get out of the desert with Tiger Soul.

Tsao Suiyan’s death had not just thrown Phantasmal Shadow and her tower members’ plan into chaos, it had also caught the other group of people who were also watching this on the other side to be caught off guard as well.

Thud!

At the moment Flame Wolf became certain that Tsao Suiyan was dead, he struck the sand, and his fierce gaze was pinned on the alliance master and Dongfang Bubai. He gave his orders clearly, “Send my orders, tell our people to take action immediately!

“Immortal, Peach Blossom, bring someone to immediately destroy Wind Assault Tower, and do it quick…” Flame Wolf said these words to Immortal and Peach Blossom. His words were spoken firmly, clearly, and incredibly seriously, “I’ll give you five minutes. Once you’re done with it, come over immediately to gather with us.”

Once Flame Wolf saw Dongfang Bubai’s strength after he had his qi deviate, he did not believe that the alliance master would be able to last for a long time. That was why they were now in a greate hurry.

They had to face Dongfang Bubai, who might kill or force the alliance master to retreat at any moment, and also had to make sure that when they attacked, the area around them was safe.

Wind Assault Tower and Wild Wolves were mortal enemies. Naturally, they had to destroy them at first moment.

Right after they finished speaking, the one hundred top-class Wild Wolves behind him had cold killing intent shine in their eyes. Without another word, a group of people broke off the group. They said nothing and just used the rising and falling sand hills to provide cover for themselves. They headed to the place where Wind Assault Tower had hidden themselves in the distance.

Flame Wolf watched Peach Blossom and her group disappear behind the sand hills before he looked away and redirected his gaze on Dongfang Bubai and the alliance master, who had begun fighting again.

“Our success and failure will be decided at this moment!”

When the alliance master saw Tsao Suiyan dying, his pupils shrank, and his eyes were cold and solemn. He stared at Tsao Suiyan’s lifeless corpse for two whole seconds before he sucked in a breath and looked at Dongfang Bubai, who had suddenly stood still once more. He gritted his teeth and said clearly, “Your qi didn’t deviate.”

“…”

Dongfang Bubai looked as if he did not hear him. His long and narrow eyes were indifferent and brutal as he stared at the alliance master. A sword gash that was slightly more than an inch long could be spotted on his chest, and it was bleeding slowly.

Dongfang Bubai was injured.

“You won’t be able to deceive me.”

The alliance master frowned again, and there was a mocking tone in his voice. “Just now, at the instant Tsao Suiyan managed to attack you, you used a skill from Sunflower Manual, and you deliberately sent a flying needle into his body. That flying needle tore through his defense, the tiger’s roar intimidated his mind, and the glare killed him. That sort of cunning and skill isn’t something a person who has been controlled by Tiger Soul and who has his qi deviate can do. You might be able to deceive Tsao Suiyan, but you won’t be able to lie to me.”

His mighty and awe-inspiring voice echoed between both of them in an indifferent manner, and it swept up the dancing sand.

Behind the sand curtain, the bewitching and fierce red light that had appeared in Dongfang Bubai’s eyes after he was completely affected by Tiger Soul gradually faded away once he heard the alliance master’s words.

And when the red light disappeared, a hint of cunning and clarity of mind slowly appeared in his eyes.

If Phantasmal Shadow and Flame Wolf were right in front of him and saw this scene, they would definitely be stunned by what happened to Dongfang Bubai.

Judging by Dongfang Bubai’s eyes, it was clear that he was never affected by Tiger Soul. He still retained his mind!

“I knew it…”

A solemn voice tumbled out of the alliance master’s lips.

When he saw that Dongfang Bubai’s gaze was becoming increasingly clear and soon regained his usual bewitching charm, the alliance master’s tone and gaze turned even more grave and cautious. “You were never affected by Tiger Soul. I was careless…”

Even though he said this, the alliance master still noticed that as Dongfang Bubai’s eyes gradually regained clarity, the bloody-red Tiger Soul in his hands was covered in a layer of red that was even more dazzling than before.

The white tiger’s spine in the saber seemed to have been stimulated by something. It started stretching vigorously, causing the saber to vibrate frequently, and it looked like it was becoming harder to control it.

When he saw this, realization flashed in the alliance master’s eyes, and he appeared to feel relieved as well.

It seemed like Dongfang Bubai had to pay quite the high price to resist Tiger Soul’s control as well.

While he suppressed Tiger Soul from devouring him, Dongfang Bubai kept his gaze fixed on the alliance master. He smiled and answered, “Alliance Master, you are indeed extraordinary. As expected of the best of all those in the dao of heaven… I originally thought that I could trick both of you and make you believe that my qi has deviated before I kill both of you in one go. Then, I will search for a quiet place to focus on researching the true secret behind Tiger Soul. I didn’t expect that I would only be able to kill one lapdog of the imperial government in the end.” Dongfang Bubai’s uniquely bewitching voice rose at that moment, and the alliance master’s expression changed slightly again.

He opened his mouth and said, “In truth, if that lapdog didn’t die, I wouldn’t have been able to tell that you weren’t controlled by Tiger Soul. I will have to thank him. But there is something I don’t understand. I do hope that you will be able to answer my question.”

“I know. You want to ask me why I am able to retain a clear mind under Tiger Soul’s influence.” Dongfang Bubai smiled coldly and faintly, “I don’t mind telling you. After all, even if you learn it, you won’t be able to use it.”

“Oh?” The alliance master cocked an eyebrow. His voice suggested that he did not believe in Dongfang Bubai’s claim, and he refused to accept that he could not control Tiger Soul. “Then I will have to ask you to generously provide me with your answer.”

They were both in the dao of heaven, but the alliance master believed that his path was much more orthodox that Dongfang Bubai’s deviant path, and he was much further down the path as well. But Dongfang Bubai had been able to suppress Tiger Soul for a long time, while the alliance master himself did not even notice that he had been controlled by Tiger Soul. This surprised him more or less, and he also found it puzzling.

Dongfang Bubai was clearly able to tell that the alliance master did not believe in him, so he turned his body sideways. “I don’t mind telling you, but there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Alliance Master, don’t you think you should also tell me some of your secrets?”

“Cult Master, what secrets of mine have caught your fancy?”

The alliance master was not at all surprised when Dongfang Bubai suddenly mentioned the condition he wanted before he told him of his method.

“Just now, the saber glare has clearly cut through you, but you didn’t even bother dodging it, and you managed to ignore Tiger Soul’s attack. I want to know what that is.” Dongnfang Bubai smiled and mentioned a question that had been plaguing his mind for a long time.

If the alliance master had not used a special method to avoid that attack, he would have been able to get rid of two people in the dao of heaven in one go. That move was definitely the alliance master’s trump card!

Dongfang Bubai truly wanted to understand this secret.

But answering this question was clearly a bit of trouble to the alliance master.

The alliance master thought about it for a moment before he answered, “I practice the Supreme Technique of the World. I believe you should have heard of it.”

“Indeed.

Dongfang Bubai put on an attentive expression.

“When I fully circulate this technique, I can use it to blend into the world. With my armor, it can protect me during crucial moments.” However, since the alliance master really wanted to know the secret behind how Dongfang Bubai resisted Tiger Soul, he showed great cooperation by mentioning the secret behind why he was able to avoid the attack just now.

“That’s all.”

“Of course, it’s difficult for me to explain the specifics to you. But it’s indeed that simple,” the alliance master answered.

Dongfang Bubai nodded in silence.

“It’s your turn,” the alliance master said sternly.

Dongfang Bubai might be someone in the evil path, but he did not intend to break his promise right in front of the alliance master. “Tiger Soul has sealed the steed of an ancient catastrophic God, Chiyou. The white tiger is unprecedentedly fierce, and its spirit is fierce and brutal. If anyone is in contact with it for long periods of time, they will indeed be affected by it subtly. Once the person who has Tiger Soul relaxes his guard in the slightest, the weapon will gain control of the wielder. The person will then become the carrier of the fierce spirit of the white tiger.

The alliance master nodded in silence.

Dongfang Bubai continued speaking. “But even though Tiger Soul is strong, unfortunately, Sunflower Manual is a divine technique that offers the most gentle and soft techniques. Even if the white tiger’s spirit wants to completely devour and affect me, it’s impossible, because those who practice Sunflower Manual suffer postnatal deformities. Their bodies are unlike those of normal people. Even if the white tiger is able to affect me, there will always be oversights, and that is why I am able to retain my mind.”

“I see, so it is because of Sunflower Manual.”

The alliance master had his question answered. He finally understood why Dongfang Bubai had said those words just now.

Dongfang Bubai smiled. “Unless you have the courage to give up on everything, otherwise, I’m afraid it’s impossible for you to fight against Tiger Soul without being affected by it in the slightest. Now, you face a major problem. The two things you want that will allow you to control Tiger Soul are both in my hands!”
