I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 167 - 111: Battling the Sect Leader

The pitch-black night was like the gaping maw of a blood demon, striking fear into the heart.

Corpses hung from tree branches that resembled severed arms, swaying in the wind. A strange, cold aura permeated the area.

The trees were filled with corpses—over a thousand of them.

Each body was different; there were old and young, men and women.

A cold, sinister aura clung to the face of every corpse.

Some even bore terrifying wounds.

’Over a thousand... that matches the number of corpses from the Corpse Driver.’ Shen Bai narrowed his eyes, gripping Cold Moon in his hand as he gently patted Amber with the other.

Amber understood instantly. With a MEOW, it leaped to the ground and transformed into the size of a great tiger.

"I’ve arrived. Is this how you welcome your guests?" Shen Bai slowly approached, his eyes scanning his surroundings.

The moment he spoke, the surrounding Yin Feng intensified. It was as if someone were stirring a storm nearby, and the air instantly grew much colder.

Shen Bai sneered. "So the Upper Evil Sect is just a pack of rats. Since your guest is here, let’s see what kind of banquet you’ve prepared for me."

With that, Shen Bai swung Cold Moon.

The next moment, countless streams of Blood Red Sword Qi burst forth from Shen Bai’s Cold Moon.

Each stream of Blood Red Sword Qi carried a majestic, righteous aura, yet it was also like a blood moon in the sky, chilling one to the core.

Having undergone a second qualitative transformation and evolved into the Anti-Demon Blood Sword Dance, the Divine Power was different once again.

The hundred-odd streams of Sword Qi autonomously split into sixteen groups.

Each group executed a different set of moves.

And every move carried both a majestic, righteous aura and the hue of a blood moon.

"Go."

Shen Bai flicked a finger.

The hundred-odd streams of Blood Red Sword Qi, seemingly imbued with Spirituality, unleashed sixteen different techniques. Following Shen Bai’s direction, they swept toward the forest ahead.

The Sword Qi was like a blood moon; the righteous aura, a scorching sun.

Where their powers converged, the forest ahead and all the corpses within were instantly turned to dust.

’The corpses belonged to the Corpse Driver, but Shen Bai had no need to preserve them.’

’The only thing that mattered was storming the Upper Evil Sect and settling all old scores.’

’As for the corpses, Shen Bai wouldn’t leave behind anything that could be used against him. Killing the Upper Evil Sect and eliminating a great scourge of Fenglin State was far more important than some corpses.’

The hundred-odd streams of Sword Qi left a clearing in their wake.

Looking at this clearing, Shen Bai narrowed his eyes.

Even with the thousand-odd corpses gone, that sinister cold that made one’s heart pound still lingered, like a maggot burrowed in bone.

Moreover, in the clearing, over a hundred people sat cross-legged on the ground.

They appeared to be sitting randomly, but in truth, each person’s position was carefully chosen.

A closer look revealed their positions formed the character for ’death’.

"An Array?" Shen Bai smiled.

’Having mastered the Mixed Element Array-Breaking Technique, Shen Bai recognized it at a glance: an incredibly profound Array.’

"We have been awaiting you for quite some time, Lord Shen."

At the forefront, several Elders, led by Elder Huo, slowly rose to their feet and bowed to Shen Bai.

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Bai said, "We’re mortal enemies, yet you’re being so polite. It almost makes me consider leaving your corpses intact."

His words were met with dead silence.

Confrontations between Jianghu People always had a certain flair.

The posturing, for example, was cranked up to the max.

But with that one sentence, Shen Bai had utterly shattered the mood.

Elder Huo raised his hands. Iron sand swirled around him as a crimson flame erupted, scorching the sand pitch-black.

"The Fire Poison Technique. So you’re the Elder Huo who massacred the Three Flames Temple," Shen Bai stated calmly.

Elder Huo nodded, but just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Shen Bai again.

Shen Bai scanned the surroundings and said, "You lot aren’t worthy of speaking to me. Where is your Sect Leader? Or does he intend to watch you all die at my hands?"

Elder Huo was stunned. When he came to his senses, he roared, "You insolent whelp! How rude! We showed you the respect due an enemy, yet you dare to look down on us!"

Shen Bai sighed and ran his finger along his longsword. "Let me show you some courtesy, then."

Elder Huo frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I’ll do my best to leave your corpses whole, take them back to the Observatory, and hang them on the city gates."

Shen Bai gave a cold smile, looking for all the world like a villain. "Let the people of this Fenglin State see what fate awaits those who oppose me."

Blood Red Sword Qi blossomed upon Shen Bai’s Cold Moon. It was like a flower of death, yet it pulsed with a righteous aura.

A golden Dharma Golden Body materialized behind Shen Bai. With its palms pressed together, it looked as though a Buddha had descended to the world.

A flawless, jade-white brilliance shone around him.

Dao Text and shadows swirled around Shen Bai in tandem.

The Qi within him rapidly aligned, forming an array inside his very body.

"Come. Face my blade, and let’s see if you live."

Shen Bai swung his sword.

Simultaneously, Fist Gang erupted from his left fist.

Beside him, Amber let out a furious roar, its body wreathed in Yin Qi, and charged toward the crowd.

The battle ignited in an instant, its speed defying imagination.

As the mountain-heavy Fist Gang and blood-red Sword Qi bore down on them, the expressions of Elder Huo and the others changed dramatically.

"Engage the enemy!"

Elder Huo roared.

The next moment, a red mark between the eyebrows of every Upper Evil Sect member began to glow.

Various streams of Qi intertwined, flowing through the members of the Upper Evil Sect before finally converging on the Elders.
