CHAPTER 1627: CHAPTER 1627: BATTLE AGAINST THE HEAVENLY TRIBULATION

At the moment of Lightning Mink’s peril, Fang Bai arrived just in time, wielded the Houyi Bow, and shot an arrow with all his might, shattering Bao Zhenhai’s Spirit Qi Big Palm, rescuing Lightning Mink.

Having narrowly escaped death, Lightning Mink broke into a cold sweat, secretly feeling fortunate, then soared into the sky, drawing a dazzling silver streak across the heavens, and landed on Fang Bai’s shoulder.

"Fang Bai, this old guy is too strong, be careful!"

Lightning Mink stood on Fang Bai’s shoulder, looking at Bao Zhenhai standing in midair in the distance, and said with lingering fear.

Fang Bai nodded, put away the Houyi Bow, summoned the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, and with a grave expression, scrutinized Bao Zhenhai, looking as if facing a formidable enemy.

With Fang Bai’s current cultivation level at the initial stage of the Soul Severing Realm, he could still battle a Soul Severing Perfection expert, but facing Bao Zhenhai, a Thunder Tribulation Expert, he was overwhelmed and unable to contend.

However, upon learning that the Linghu sisters were in dire straits, Fang Bai, knowing he couldn’t win, still had to fight.

"Little Mink, in a while I’ll hold off that old guy, and you use the Beast Taming Scripture to control more spirit beasts from the primitive forest to attack the Taixuan Sect, striving to rescue the Linghu sisters amidst the chaos! If this succeeds, I have a fortuitous opportunity for you!"

Fang Bai quickly communicated to Lightning Mink.

Throughout the Taixuan Sect, Lightning Mink only feared Bao Zhenhai. If Bao Zhenhai could be held off by Fang Bai, it was confident in rescuing the Linghu sisters amidst the chaos. When it heard that Fang Bai had a fortuitous opportunity to offer, its eyes brightened immediately, and it responded to Fang Bai, saying: "Alright, it’s a deal!"

After saying this, its figure transformed into a silver streak, circling far around Bao Zhenhai, and flew towards the Taixuan Sect.

"Beast, where are you going!"

Bao Zhenhai turned sideways, extending his right arm forward, and a giant Spirit Qi hand with spread fingers broke through the clouds, rapidly reaching for Lightning Mink.

Fang Bai shifted his figure, blocking in front of the Spirit Qi hand, and instantly slashed the three moves of the mad blade.

Each slash of Fang Bai’s continuous three strikes was executed with all his might, barely managing to block that Spirit Qi hand after slashing onto it.

Bao Zhenhai exclaimed in surprise, evidently not expecting the power of Fang Bai’s three slashes to be so formidable, and as he watched Lightning Mink’s figure quickly disappear into the distance, he snorted softly and stopped pursuing, his gaze landing on Fang Bai, and said in a deep voice: "A mere initial stage Soul Severing kid, yet you can withstand my two consecutive attacks... Kid, you’re not simple!"

Fang Bai grinned, moved a little closer to Bao Zhenhai, and kept his eyes fixed on him, preventing him from returning to the Taixuan Sect.

Bao Zhenhai saw through Fang Bai’s intention, sneered, and said: "If I want to go back, you can’t stop me!"

Fang Bai replied: "If I don’t try, how would I know?"

Bao Zhenhai’s gaze sharpened, and he said coldly: "Kid, arrogance never ends well!"

Fang Bai chuckled, "If I’m not arrogant, would you spare me?"

Bao Zhenhai stroked his beard and said: "Letting you go isn’t impossible, but... you have to join my Taixuan Sect and become my direct disciple of Bao Zhenhai!"

Seeing Fang Bai’s young age yet possessing such formidable strength, he couldn’t help but appreciate this cultivation talent.

Ever since the moment Fang Bai learned that the Linghu sisters were kidnapped by the Taixuan Sect, he harbored nothing but malice towards them, swearing not to stop until he destroyed the sect, so how could he possibly join the Taixuan Sect?

"If you want me to join the Taixuan Sect, you’ll have to agree to two conditions of mine."

Fang Bai said seriously.

Bao Zhenhai raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of anger, thinking to himself that he, Bao Zhenhai, a dignified Thunder Tribulation expert, invited him to join the Taixuan Sect. Not only was he not grateful, but he even dared to make conditions, truly not knowing what’s good for him.

"Let’s hear it."

Bao Zhenhai managed to suppress his anger and said.

Fang Bai extended one finger, saying: "First, your Taixuan Sect captured my two women, release them immediately, and ensure they are unharmed."

"Impossible!"

Bao Zhenhai was aware of the Linghu sisters’ capture and knew that Sect Master Duan Yi intended to offer the two women to the Supreme Elder of the Wuya Sect in exchange for a royal-grade spirit pill to assist in advancing to the Thunder Tribulation Realm. This matter concerned the rise and fall of the Taixuan Sect, so how could Bao Zhenhai possibly agree to Fang Bai’s terms?

Fang Bai smirked, apparently expecting Bao Zhenhai’s refusal, and continued: "Second, the Sect Master of the Taixuan Sect must apologize to my two women and provide some cultivation resources as compensation for their mental distress. If you can do these two things, why wouldn’t I join the Taixuan Sect?"

At this point, Bao Zhenhai realized that Fang Bai had no real intention of joining the Taixuan Sect and was merely toying with him, which enraged him. Pointing at Fang Bai, he said: "Since you wish to die, I shall fulfill your desire!"

Spirit Qi surged around him, and his battle intent boiled like a tide, exerting immense pressure towards Fang Bai, making Fang Bai feel suffocated and forcing him to form a Defense Qi Shield to resist.

"Give me your life!"

Bao Zhenhai threw a fierce punch, with the giant Spirit Qi fist tearing through the air like a meteor from outer space, roaring towards Fang Bai. As it passed through space, waves of undulating ripples appeared, demonstrating its terrifying might.

This punch came too fast, and its force covered too wide a range, making it impossible for Fang Bai to evade. He could only take a deep breath and launch three consecutive Meteor Shower Fists.

The Meteor Shower Fist, a golden system attack punch, could become unstoppable and destructible when its power reached the pinnacle of this fist technique, and although Fang Bai’s cultivation level was not high at this moment, the combined power of the three punches still packed a significant punch.

"Boom!"

The Spirit Qi fists from both sides collided in mid-air, with a thunderous roar, and the violent shockwaves that erupted rolled back like tidal waves, aggressively spreading in all directions.

When the shockwave surged past Bao Zhenhai, his clothes fluttered lightly, but his figure remained unmoved.

Fang Bai, however, was sent rolling back like a fallen leaf in the wind for dozens of yards before barely steadying himself.

"Thunder Tribulation expert, your power is too overwhelmingly strong! If I continue fighting like this, I surely won’t last a hundred breaths!"

Fang Bai wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, and a deep sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.

"Good kid! Try taking another punch from me!"

Bao Zhenhai was amazed that Fang Bai managed to take another punch from him.

That punch had contained seventy percent of his strength, enough to severely injure even a Soul Severing Perfection expert, yet Fang Bai, with only an initial stage Soul Severing cultivation, suffered only minor injuries.

"This boy’s physical body is so formidable, even spirit beasts of the same grade are far inferior!"

Bao Zhenhai thought.

Before Bao Zhenhai could launch another attack, Fang Bai shifted his gaze towards the depths of the primitive forest, spreading his Divine Sense and let out a long whistle.

Bao Zhenhai paused, then immediately heard the cries of flying beasts and the roars of fierce beasts. Turning his head, he saw the depths of the primitive forest, dozens of miles away, with trees swaying and countless flying beasts and fierce beasts charging towards here.

"This boy can actually control so many Soul Severing Realm spirit beasts!"

Seeing the surging flood of flying beasts and fierce beasts, all of which were in the Soul Severing Realm, Bao Zhenhai’s pupils involuntarily narrowed.
