Chapter 15: Women Will Only Affect the Speed of My Sword Drawing, but Martial Sister Bai Lian Won’t!
*Qiang Qiang!*
Zhou Hongyun moved, and the Duxian sect disciples pulled out their swords one after another. This naturally didn’t scare him.
He glanced at the Demon Soul with disdain and shouted, “Evil beast, do you really think that Fairy Bai Lian can’t see that you have possessed this young man’s body?”
“What?” All the disciples of the Duxian sect were stunned.
Possessed? Was this saying that Elder Martial Brother Chen was possessed?
The Demon Soul’s face turned red. He pointed at Zhou Hongyun and shouted, “Liar! As the executioner of the White Tiger Hall, you slaughtered civilians and your crimes were heinous. Now you want to play tricks to turn us against each other? Do you think you can fool Martial Sister Bai Lian?”
Zhou Hongyun sneered, “Fairy Bai Lian has her own judgment. No matter how cunning you are, it’s useless.”
The Demon Soul’s breath became heavy as he stared at Zhou Hongyun. Zhou Hongyun’s words had made his last hope collapse. The protective coat he wore had been punctured. At this point, no matter how naive Bai Lian might be, she couldn’t fail to notice something was wrong.
*Finished*, the Demon Soul thought, shivering.
Chen Yizhi was the genius of the Duxian sect. Bai Lian wouldn’t let him go. The Demon Soul now felt deep regret, but unfortunately, among thousands of medical pills in the world, there was no “Regret Pill.”
It was all Zhou Hongyun’s fault! If he hadn’t ordered the white tiger to capture Chen Yizhi, how could the Demon Soul have been forced to possess Chen Yizhi in such haste?
The Demon Soul wanted to jump out and shout, “Yes, I’m the Battle General of Foreign Demons! You lowly humans, how dare you make noise before me!”
But that would only lead to a more tragic death. The Demon Soul dared not act so boldly. As a soul, he had survived this long precisely because of his cowardice. Other foreign demons had perished in ancient times on the battlefield between demons and human cultivators. Only he had survived.
*What should I do?* The Demon Soul trembled.
He put on a frightened expression and looked anxiously toward Bai Lian for her response.
The previously noisy forbidden area suddenly fell silent. Bai Lian’s deep eyes studied both the Demon Soul and Zhou Hongyun.
That look! The Demon Soul had only felt this same suffocating sensation when being watched by the Foreign Demon Commander. It was horrible, like falling into a bottomless pit or an endless deep sea.
In truth, Bai Lian was focused on the system task before her:
[Task 1: “I’m in a hurry. You two, fight me together!” After that, fight with the two. (Reward: cultivation base breakthrough to Soul Changing Stage)]
[Task 2: “Zhou Hongyun, do you think this little trick can fool me?” (Reward: top-grade magic tool – Spirit Crane Lightsaber)]
[Task 3: “Demon Soul, I can see through your disguise at a glance. But now, I give you a chance to repent. Leave my younger Martial Brother Chen Yizhi’s body immediately!” (Reward: Blood Melting Pill)]
Task 1 was suicidal. Bai Lian might have attempted Task 2 if there weren’t so many Duxian sect disciples present. But now, she couldn’t risk any mistakes.
She chose Task 3.
Bai Lian fixed her gaze on the Demon Soul and spoke gently, “Demon Soul, I can…”
*Something’s wrong*, Qing Luan realized with a start.
Chen Yizhi’s body had been taken over. Even if the Demon Soul left, only a corpse would remain.
*Oh!* Qing Luan suddenly understood. Bai Lian must want to preserve Chen Yizhi’s body intact.
*This woman…* She bit her lip.
No wonder the sect Elders valued Bai Lian so highly. Even in such circumstances, she could think so far ahead.
More and more Duxian sect disciples reached the same conclusion.
“Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian…” They gazed at her back, deeply moved.
*You can always trust Martial Sister Bai Lian!*
When the Demon Soul heard Bai Lian’s words, his divine sense nearly exploded.
Sure enough. While Zhou Hongyun had avoided revealing his true identity, Bai Lian had immediately named him as a Demon Soul.
She must have delayed exposing him out of fear he would destroy Chen Yizhi’s body.
*What should I do?* The Demon Soul trembled violently.
Having just possessed Chen Yizhi’s body, there was still a gap between soul and flesh. Should he trust Bai Lian’s words? If he left Chen Yizhi’s body, would she really let him go?
But what choice did he have? He was no match for Bai Lian anyway.
The Demon Soul glanced at a nearby male tiger. At least he could try! Reincarnating as a white tiger could still contribute to the reproduction of the foreign demon race!
The Demon Soul quietly began separating his soul from Chen Yizhi’s body.
But just as he was about to leave, the sea of divine sense suddenly changed.
A sword!
An invincible sword!
“How is this possible!” The Demon Soul froze in shock. Chen Yizhi’s soul hadn’t been completely erased! By the time he realized this, it was too late to escape – the sword rain had already covered his entire divine sense.
*BOOM!*
Everyone present witnessed Chen Yizhi becoming enveloped in light.
“What’s happening?” Zhou Hongyun’s face turned pale. He couldn’t allow this change to continue.
While the others were distracted, he struck hard at Chen Yizhi with his fist. The surge of spirit Qi instantly suppressed the light surrounding Chen Yizhi’s body.
“Jade rabbit!” Bai Lian shouted.
The jade rabbit immediately opened its ears to protect the two younger Martial Sisters.
Bai Lian quickly spread a wide water curtain before her, blocking all the air currents that might harm the other Duxian sect disciples.
Thanks to her Hard Skill reaching 211 points and the protection of the Li Yue Taoist robe, the continuous impacts caused no obvious injuries to her body.
As the light dissipated, the crowd saw Chen Yizhi extend his right hand, pressing two fingers against Zhou Hongyun’s fist with perfect calm.
Zhou Hongyun’s fist trembled involuntarily.
*PA!*
With a soft sound, his fist exploded into countless pieces.
Chen Yizhi’s fingers formed a sword shape. Zhou Hongyun was cut into dozens of pieces without even a chance to struggle. Blood sprayed everywhere in a gruesome display.
The leader of White Tiger Hall had fallen!
“Hiss…” The crowd drew in sharp breaths.
Bai Lian was speechless at the sight.
She watched as Chen Yizhi approached and knelt before her. “Martial Sister Bai Lian, you saved my life. If you hadn’t deliberately confused the Demon Soul’s mind, it wouldn’t have taken long for me to be completely assimilated…”
He spoke from the depths of his heart. Half a day ago, the Demon Soul had seized his body. Only his foreign demon bloodline had allowed him to retain a fragment of himself.
Normally, that would have been useless.
But Martial Sister Bai Lian must have noticed this and used her unique wisdom to disorder the Demon Soul’s mind, allowing him to find its fatal flaw.
He had fought back with everything he had and truly defeated the Demon Soul. By devouring it and activating his Foreign Demon Bloodline, he had instantly broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Chen Yizhi had immediately gathered the Demon Soul’s killing intent, condensed it into his soul sword, and unleashed his strongest attack.
No matter how Zhou Hongyun struggled, he couldn’t have escaped that blow.
*Are you also a protagonist?* Bai Lian could only say, “That sword technique was impressive.”
“Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian… I… How could I compare to you… If it had been you, you could have defeated him as easily as…”
Chen Yizhi stumbled over his words.
He had been praised by Martial Sister Bai Lian!
Could anything be more joyous?
Chen Yizhi had once believed that women would only affect the speed of his sword drawing, but after this crisis, he realized—
That was only because those women had been too weak!
Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was different.
Her sword skill was as vast as the sea. He might never match Martial Sister Bai Lian’s training speed in his lifetime.
Chen Yizhi’s eyes hardened with determination.
From this day forward, he would respect Martial Sister Bai Lian as he respected his own parents! If anyone dared offend Martial Sister Bai Lian, they would face his wrath!
The crisis had passed.
Qing Luan’s sword hand trembled slightly.
Now she understood. Bai Lian’s true purpose had been to save Chen Yizhi, and she had succeeded!
She had destroyed the Demon Soul with a single sentence!
What terrifying ability!
Though Qing Luan had sensed something wrong with Chen Yizhi, she hadn’t realized he had been possessed by the Demon Soul—and was still alive!
She had thought herself on the first floor while Bai Lian was on the second, only to discover Bai Lian had been on the fifth floor all along!
The gap between them had grown so vast.
“Worthy of being the perfect Martial Sister Bai Lian!”
Hearing the cheers around her, Bai Lian could only remain speechless.
