Xue Cheng didn't continue speaking. Instead, he waved his hand, signaling for everyone to spread out.
There was no need to say much to a madman.
Because madmen could not be reasoned with.
If they could be reasoned with, they wouldn't be mad!
Watching the dispersing crowd, Bai Ye immediately transformed into lightning and headed towards Xue Cheng.
Xue Cheng wasted no words. He immediately produced a Dao talismans.
This was no ordinary talismans. It was purplish-gold. The paper of the talismans was purple, and the inscribed runes were drawn with gold powder.
"Heart serene and pure, heaven collapses not, ten thousand changes stable, spirit at ease and calm... Flowing Water Freezing Mirror!" Xue Cheng shouted softly.
Xue Cheng loosened his grip on the talismans, and the moment it ignited, he drew a circle.
In the next instant, the water vapor in the air surged towards Xue Cheng and condensed into a water mirror before him.
And at that very moment...
Bai Ye arrived with his sword.
Lei Huo Qing Ming thrust forward, but it was intercepted by the water mirror.
The sensation was peculiar. It wasn't a head-on collision, but more like a punch hitting cotton, with seven parts of its force absorbed, leaving Bai Ye unable to exert his strength.
On the other side, after blocking Bai Ye's sword, Xue Cheng immediately signaled to his left and right. Members of the Cang Long Hui began to close in on Bai Ye.
A member of the Cang Long Hui leaped into the air, directly above Bai Ye.
"Kōkin Fruit!"
The Cang Long Hui member, who had been floating ethereally, seemed to have no weight in his jump.
But in the next instant...
The Cang Long Hui member plummeted downwards with extreme speed.
Bai Ye glanced up, his body transformed into lightning and shifted sideways, and then...
BOOM!
The man stomped his foot on the ground, as if a hundred tons had crashed down, instantly shattering the earth.
The Kōkin Fruit, like Bai Ye's Doku Doku no Mi, was a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. After consumption, it granted the ability to manipulate one's own weight, allowing one to become extremely light or extremely heavy.
Meanwhile, just as Bai Ye dodged the attack, a whistling gust of wind sounded from behind him again.
A member of the Cang Long Hui charged towards Bai Ye, wielding an extremely long nodachi. He flicked the scabbard backward, drew the nodachi, and slashed at Bai Ye.
"Tiger's Roar in the Forest!"
Bai Ye completely ignored the attack. The moment the nodachi struck Bai Ye's body, Bai Ye entered his elemental form.
The blade cut through Bai Ye's body and passed through. Bai Ye then reformed, stomped his foot, and pinned the sword to the ground.
The Cang Long Hui member exerted force, but found his sword firmly trapped by Bai Ye, unable to be drawn.
"Pincer attack!" Xue Cheng roared.
Someone stepped forward, pointing a magic staff at Bai Ye.
In the next instant, blinding radiance began to coalesce.
"Aurora Beam!"
A massive magic circle appeared before the caster, and a white beam of light emerged, striking towards Bai Ye.
On the other side, a member of the Cang Long Hui strode towards Bai Ye with a low growl.
As he walked, the man's body erupted in flames, and he charged towards Bai Ye.
Xue Cheng pinched a bag, grabbed a handful of seeds, and scattered them forward.
The seeds landed and instantly began to grow. In the blink of an eye, thick vines sprung from the ground, writhing like enormous pythons and slithering towards Bai Ye.
In an instant, Bai Ye was surrounded by dangers. Attacks rained down from all directions, completely sealing off his escape routes.
However...
"Is it useful?"
Bai Ye's face showed disdain, and he extended his hand to the side.
CRACKLE!
Large amounts of electricity surged from Bai Ye's body, converging before his palm, and instantly transforming into a pillar of lightning that shot out.
BOOM!
The lightning pillar collided head-on with the Aurora Beam, forcefully pushing it back. With a deafening explosion, the caster was blown away.
Bai Ye then turned his head, looking at the approaching fiery figure with an emotionless expression.
In the next moment, the Cang Long Hui member, completely engulfed in flames, embraced Bai Ye.
BOOM!
The flames on his body exploded!
Thick black smoke rose, forming a mushroom cloud. A vast expanse of fire spread outwards, painting the sky a fiery red.
The Cang Long Hui member curved his lips into a smile, but...
Soon, he could no longer smile.
Bai Ye was still held by him, completely unharmed by the flames, and the explosion had not injured him either.
Though enveloped in fire, Bai Ye was as if bathing in it, completely unharmed!
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly reached out and grabbed the Cang Long Hui member's head.
"Explosion..." Bai Ye looked at the man and said, "It should be like this!"
Flame Burst!
With a roar!
Flames erupted from Bai Ye's hand.
The display was far less grand than the opponent's, just a single fireball, but it blew away waves of heat.
However, in an instant, the opponent's head exploded in the flames, countless pieces of flesh scattering in all directions. A headless corpse fell, lying at Bai Ye's feet.
Bai Ye released his grip and looked at the attacking vines. He casually waved his hand!
A golden barrier appeared behind Bai Ye, radiating a brilliant light.
Gate of Babylon!
Ring after ring of golden ripples spread out, and then, countless weapons appeared in the center of the ripples, shooting forward.
Weapons, like rain, flew forward, constantly striking the writhing vines and smashing them to pieces.
In a flash, the vines were broken into pieces, falling all over the ground.
Bai Ye turned his head to look at the Cang Long Hui member whose nodachi he had pinned. "You're still not running? What courage!"
The man suddenly jolted awake, quickly released the hilt of his sword, and leaped backward frantically.
But...
It was too late!
THWACK!
The moment the man leaped, Lei Huo Qing Ming descended from the heavens, pierced into the man from behind, and nailed him to the ground.
Bai Ye raised his head, looking at Xue Cheng.
He had promised blood.
And so, there would be blood!
"Rally to me!" Xue Cheng shouted loudly, taking out a magical artifact, then a bamboo scroll. He then let out a soft cry: "Yin and Yang two遁 divide smooth and reversed, one Qi three Yuan people can't predict!"
Bai Ye's pupils contracted. It was the Qi Men Dun Jia?
This treasure had fallen into the hands of the Cang Long Hui?
Bai Ye decisively transformed into lightning and sped towards Xue Cheng.
"Trying to run now?" Bai Ye roared. "Stay here for me!"
