Chapter 618: 309 Miss by a hair, hunt down the Dragon Scale Knight

"I wonder if it’s enough..."

His eyes sparkled slightly.

Undoubtedly, the gains from destroying the Evil Ghost Court’s stronghold this time were considerable. But whether it can let him break through to the Late Period of a Martial Artist still depends on the actual situation. Of course, after absorbing these forty-eight Void Crystals, even if there’s a gap, it probably won’t be far. Bai Xiao has a contingency plan.

He took a deep breath, assuming a cross-legged sitting posture to begin his cultivation, with his hands gently resting on his knees. His chest rose and fell slightly, and he began to adjust his breathing. The Thunder-like breathing technique had already become instinctive.

"Hoo...hiss...hoo...hiss..."

Gradually, Bai Xiao’s breathing calmed down.

In an instant, the air around him tightened suddenly, as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand. Bai Xiao’s eyes sharpened instantly like an eagle, radiating cold gleams. His whole body became like a lit powder keg, swiftly entering combat mode without any warning. The surging power inside his body was naturally triggered.

Delicate frequency membrane, like nimble silver threads, began spreading from the top of his head at a visible speed, quickly covering his entire body in the blink of an eye. The thin layer of frequency membrane shimmered with a cold metallic luster, trembling slightly in the air, as if accumulating Void energy.

Bai Xiao’s body became faintly visible, each flicker resembling an unstable signal on a screen, sometimes clear, sometimes blurry. His muscle contours rose inch by inch amid the intertwining lights and shadows. The two gates of essence and energy were broken through, only the spirit gate remained!

Without hesitation, he grabbed the transparent Void Crystal.

"Hiss hiss hiss..."

Under the enveloping breath, seven or eight transparent crystals in his palm instantly began to vaporize, turning into strands of thick white columnar smoke visible to the naked eye.

Bai Xiao’s pores opened all over his body, and the frequency membrane on his surface flickered slightly, becoming increasingly bright and lustrous. It was greedily absorbing the Void energy at an extremely fast pace. The Void Crystal in his palm dimmed slightly with each breath. The mysterious energy inside was being continuously drawn and devoured.

A cracking sound.

The crystal, now blackened, shattered completely, turning into black ashes that quickly dispersed like snow exposed to the sun.

Bai Xiao exhaled a breath of hot air.

He now felt extremely good, his eyes spirited, radiating a glow of overflowing vitality. The physical and mental side effects brought about by the Extreme Bird Burning Sky technique had completely dissipated. Indeed, Void Crystals also had healing effects, making them a versatile remedy.

"Continue!"

Bai Xiao, taking advantage of his excellent condition, reached out his large hand again.

Grabbing instantly, refining immediately!

Time passed bit by bit, the night wind swept across the high sky.

The moon was bright, stars were sparse, clouds were piling up.

In a bedroom by the floor-to-ceiling window on the fourth floor of Hanhai Hotel. A tall silent figure stood like a silent statue, his spine erect.

A dense halo surrounded him, forming an oval-shaped glowing entity. Every inch of Bai Xiao’s muscles, bones, and even skin was absorbing the extremely abundant energy. His essence was incredibly ample, and with each breath, the airflow reversed, affecting the flow of air in the entire bedroom.

"Hoo..."

A small vortex formed, swirling around Bai Xiao.

The waves lightly slapped the surrounding walls, causing slight tremors.

Until a certain moment.

"Swish!"

Bai Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze pierced through the vortex airflow immediately like a sword. With a deep breath, the air in the entire room reversed wildly, filling his increasingly powerful Peak body.

"Unfortunately, still a bit short!"

"Forty-eight Void Crystals, already replenished most."

"Only a little more, and I can reach the Late Period of a Martial Artist."

Bai Xiao felt slightly regretful.

However, he didn’t feel any disappointment.

Because he still has a contingency plan!

...

Ten minutes later.

Bai Xiao lay on the bed, half-reclined against the headboard, with the quilt covering his chest. novelbuddy-cσ๓

The Skull Mark flashed quickly, and an overwhelming drowsiness surged into his mind.

He slowly closed his eyes, as if crossing countless distances in an instant.

Dead silent sky, gray mist, bloody and cold scent.

Bai Xiao was back.

Fearful nightmares, conquering the city.

A few days ago, he had entered here once, attempting to find traces of the Dragon Scale Knight. But during the process, Bai Xiao encountered many exceptionally troublesome monsters, even his well-trained body suffered severe injuries.

Many recruited squad members had to be reluctantly abandoned.

In the end, he harvested one unit of Void energy from inside.

Exploring fearful nightmares indeed has benefits. After all, Void energy is a precious thing, entering once to obtain one unit is certainly a big gain. But danger is everywhere, there’s always a risk of falling.

Even Bai Xiao now couldn’t recklessly act.

He could only say that having achieved the feat of single-handedly defeating two sect leaders, he truly possessed the qualification to walk in the Conquest City, no longer needing to face constant danger as before. There would be more Void energy.

"There are many secrets in the Conquest Battlefield..."

"If I can thoroughly study them, I will definitely gain incredible benefits."

The Beidou Holy Temple flashed slightly in Bai Xiao’s mind. The second-floor Secret Technique Hall there collected vast amounts of Secret Manuals. However, due to the different utilization of energy, he was unable to cultivate them. But Bai Xiao could sense their subtlety.
