Chapter 315: Slaying the White Dragon

As Bailongzi saw Fang Lie bowing in greeting, he took no head’s up and, with a cruel grin, activated his sword technique.

As he unleashed his sword technique, the White Dragon Divine Sword immediately soared out, transforming into a three-zhang long little white dragon. It let out a terrifying roar and pounced fiercely at Fang Lie with lightning speed.

As an Eighth-Rank Flying Sword treasure, the power of the White Dragon Divine Sword was far from ordinary. This sword came with a profound-level barrier, infused with the chilling Ice Death.

In fact, the entire white dragon was composed of the terrifying Ice Death. It flew through the air without a trace, covering a thousand miles in an instant, and its power was incredibly fearsome, able to freeze an entire sea in a moment.

Moreover, this terrifying chill was restrained by the White Dragon Divine Sword, extremely subdued and concentrated within the three-zhang long dragon body, leaking nothing at all.

In this situation, even a casual Thunder Tribulation Immortal would be injured without an equivalent Eighth-Rank treasure to counter it. As for the Fire Tribulation Immortal, the chances of surviving under such surprise attack were virtually nonexistent!

Such a fearful strike was unleashed by Bailongzi not only through shameless ambush but specifically aimed at Fang Lie, a Qi Sea cultivator, clearly showing he held no intentions of leaving him a way out.

Upon witnessing this scene, the onlookers all broke into cold sweats for Fang Lie, each silently thinking, "It’s over; that fool Fang Lie is done for!"

However, at this critical moment, Fang Lie surprisingly reacted.

Fang Lie, despite seeming bold on the outside, was actually perceptive and cautious on the inside. He noticed the typically arrogant Bailongzi bowing in respect this time and guessed that something was awry. Thus, although he also lowered his head to bow, he had already readied himself behind the scenes.

Fortunately, with this insight, Fang Lie managed to make a move just in time as Bailongzi launched his ambush. If he hadn’t been prepared and only looked up when the ambush started, he would have already been a dead man.

Fang Lie’s vigilance not only saved him but also led Bailongzi into an endless abyss.

Fang Lie’s only reaction was to summon the Man-Eating Demon Monk as quickly as possible to shield himself.

However, since Bailongzi came at lightning speed, even though Fang Lie did not look up and reacted immediately, Man-Eating Demon Monk only partially materialized, revealing half of his head as the white dragon fiercely attacked.

Yet, for Fang Lie, just half a head of Man-Eating Demon Monk was enough.

The divine skill contained within his mind sensed the terrible threat posed by the White Dragon Divine Sword instantly and activated without delay.

A golden figure jumped out from the center of Man-Eating Demon Monk’s forehead. In an instant, time on the life-and-death platform seemed to freeze, and the terrifying little white dragon with its menacing intent hung in mid-air. Although its sharp teeth were barely an inch away from Man-Eating Demon Monk’s head, it could go no further.

The golden shadow in the air brought its hands together and softly chanted, "Amitābha!"

Then, it transformed back into a golden light and returned to Man-Eating Demon Monk’s forehead.

As the golden shadow vanished, time resumed its flow, but this time, everything was completely different.

The fierce little white dragon transformed into sparkling white sand, which scattered and floated in the air like a beautiful spectacle with just a gentle breeze.

Bailongzi, still wearing a sinister grin, also turned to dust, gradually breaking apart and disappearing from everyone’s sight!

Not only that, but the metallic ground beneath Bailongzi also collapsed, and the protective Formation of the life-and-death platform shattered with a loud bang.

As the hundreds of onlookers stood in shock, the entire life-and-death platform magnificently crumbled, turning into a heap of fine sand!

On the scene, aside from Fang Lie and Man-Eating Demon Monk, only the White Dragon Divine Sword remained, but even it appeared dim and trembled, clearly suffering heavy injuries!

Seeing this terrifying spectacle, each and every person was left dumbfounded!

After a while, they finally reacted.

"Oh my heavens, what just happened?"

"Am I seeing things? Even the life-and-death platform was destroyed? Isn’t this supposed to withstand a full-force strike from a Thunder Tribulation Immortal?"

"What exactly happened just now? Did Fang Lie use a Ninth-Rank treasure?"

"No wonder this brat keeps yelling for a duel and even put an Eighth-rank Treasure as a stake; it turns out he has such a powerful weapon! Let alone the mere Bailongzi, even a Thunder Tribulation Immortal would surely be crushed to pieces, right?"

"It seems Fang Lie is trying to set a trap for Bailongzi! How could Bailongzi be so foolish and fall for it without even thinking?"

"Haha, this is going to be entertaining! The White Dragon Divine Sword is one of the Ten Divine Swords of East Kunlun. Although it ranks tenth, it is still a treasured item passed down from ancestors! Now it has become a treasure of the Mo Sect. I wonder if the stubborn old men of East Kunlun will be furious and die of anger!"

"After losing such an important treasure, even if Bailongzi comes back to life, he probably won’t be able to be a Core Inner Gate Disciple anymore! Hehe, he deserves it! I’ve been annoyed by this idiot for a long time. He struts around like he’s the greatest, yet he was outsmarted by a scoundrel with a Qi Sea that is not even a hundred miles!"

"Exactly! And he even used underhanded tactics to launch a sneak attack, but still lost! What a shame, what an embarrassment!"

Just as everyone was reveling in the misfortune, Bailongzi’s protector finally regained his composure from the shock. This setback was a huge blow to him. How could such a seemingly certain battle end in such a catastrophic failure?

If news of this reached the sect, he would definitely face terrible consequences for losing the White Dragon Divine Sword. At the very least, he would end up locked in an ice prison for hundreds of years!

At that moment, he suddenly spotted the Man-Eating Demon Monk and felt like he had found a lifeline. He shouted angrily, "Cheating! Fang Lie, you scoundrel, you actually cheated! This duel shouldn’t count!"

As soon as he yelled, the murmurs ceased, and everyone focused intently on the unfolding drama.

Fang Lie smirked and replied, "What a joke! I didn’t sneak attack while the other party was bowing. How is that cheating?"

"You~" The protector’s face turned red from embarrassment when Fang Lie pointed out the shameful act. But he quickly retorted, "Cut the nonsense! I’ll ask you one thing: what about the person by your side? It’s clearly a duel between you two, so how can it be two against one? Isn’t that cheating?"

At his words, the crowd quickly reacted, exclaiming, "Right! Isn’t this a duel? Why did Fang Lie have a helper?"

"And this helper is extraordinary; didn’t he just take down the pretty face with a single move? It seems like Fang Lie is being quite untrustworthy. Even if he wins, it shouldn’t count!"

As the crowd debated, Fang Lie burst into loud laughter, saying, "Hahaha! I didn’t expect you to be so blind that you couldn’t see what’s going on. Or could it be that East Kunlun can’t play fair? You clearly know what happened but are pretending otherwise, just trying to avoid responsibility?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" the protector shouted furiously. "Today, you must clarify this matter, or East Kunlun will not let this go!"

"Hmph, what is there to explain?" Fang Lie coldly replied. "Do you see the Golden Crown on this guy’s head? This treasure is the Mind-Control Golden Crown. Once worn, it can control the opponent. So this guy, strictly speaking, is a demon beast I control with a treasure! Are you saying I can’t use treasures during a duel? Isn’t that being too overbearing, East Kunlun?"

"Oh, I recognize it! That guy’s crown seems to be an ancient treasure specifically made to control its subordinates. While it may lack offensive or defensive power, its effectiveness in controlling others is incredibly strong. Even the Fire Tribulation Immortal can control with it!"

"Yes, I recognize it too! So, it seems Fang Lie’s use of it isn’t against the rules!"

"And that person! I also recognize him; he seems to be the Man-Eating Demon Monk, half human, half demon, causing trouble in Wanxing Sea. There’s a legend that he is the illegitimate son of Master Tianlong from the Great Thunder Sound Temple. Many don’t believe it, but I do now!"

"Haha, I believe it too! How could he possibly place a personal divine skill in his brow unless he was an illegitimate child? That move he just pulled was clearly Master Tianlong’s specialty, Tianlong Zen Chant. No one besides that Semi-Immortal has reached such a level with that divine skill!"

Hearing Fang Lie’s explanations, the protector quickly realized he had misunderstood. He felt unbearably embarrassed, his face flushing red, wishing he could just disappear into a hole.

Seeing he had nothing more to say, the referee, Immortal Fire Cloud, finally stepped in with a wry smile. "Sigh, what’s the need for this? Everyone, the outcome of this duel is clear. I declare Fang Lie the winner. Is there anyone who disagrees?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one voiced any objections.

Therefore, Immortal Fire Cloud waved his hand, bringing the White Dragon Divine Sword before Fang Lie, and with a pained expression, he said, "Young Master Fang, here are your spoils of war. Please accept them! Also, on behalf of the Penglai Sword Sect, I’d like to give you a heads-up. You just arrived, and already killed two young masters! We genuinely fear you; could we kindly ask you not to kill any more? This is a Grand Banquet by the Sea and Sky, not a slaughter banquet!"
