The absolute elemental advantage made Cui Jue’s chances of survival slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of Ye Ting and the others turned grim. The beast faction’s strategy was precise and cruel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena, Cui Jue felt the razor-sharp metal aura of slaughter threatening to tear his soul apart—yet his pale face showed no reaction; instead, the yin energy around him thickened slightly, forming a barrier of netherworld defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Tiger… truly lives up to its name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue spoke slowly, his voice still cold and calm. “Your slaughter aura has been refined to this degree—ordinary ghosts would be obliterated mere three zhang from your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Sha grinned, revealing rows of sharp white fangs, a cruel smile on its face. “Itachi understand well. Kneel now and surrender your soul—I may let Itachi die quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue shook his head, his gaze indifferent. “My duty as an adept is to guide the dead, to judge good and evil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi have slaughtered countless lives, your murderous aura piercing the heavens—Itachi are precisely the kind of soul my Netherworld must deal with. Today, I shall lead Itachi… into Huangquan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrogant!” Bai Sha roared, no longer wasting words—it knew its elemental advantage and sought a swift end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Innate Ability—Gengjin Divine Wind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It opened its mouth and spat—not ordinary demonic wind, but a violent whirlwind composed of countless razor-sharp Gengjin energy blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the divine wind passed, the arena floor was carved with countless deep grooves; space itself shrieked as it was torn apart, sweeping straight toward Cui Jue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wind shattered energy shields, corroded flesh, and could even damage the soul!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this Gengjin Divine Wind, which directly countered yin and evil, Cui Jue did not dare to underestimate—he swiftly formed hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Netherworld Ledger—Open the Path of Huangquan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him, a murky, lifeless, phantom river appeared, filled with the wailing of countless resentful souls—the shadow of Huangquan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turbid waters churned, attempting to swallow and annihilate the Gengjin Divine Wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssshhh—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gengjin Divine Wind surged into the Huangquan shadow, immediately producing violent corrosion and erosion sounds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White-gold blades clashed fiercely with the murky Huangquan waters, annihilating each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Huangquan waters evaporated rapidly, while the Gengjin Divine Wind weakened steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elemental opposition was laid bare in this moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Cui Jue’s Path of Huangquan was miraculous, it was clearly at a disadvantage against the supremely sharp and yang Gengjin Divine Wind—its consumption far exceeded that of its opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! See how long Itachi can hold out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Sha sneered, its golden eyes blazing brighter; its massive body surged forward like a white-gold lightning bolt, lunging straight at Cui Jue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its claws, sheathed in Gengjin energy, ripped through the air with unstoppable force, aimed directly at Cui Jue’s skull!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed and power combined—simple, brutal, effective!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s pupils contracted—he knew he could not let it close in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phantom Shadows Galore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body instantly blurred, splitting into dozens of indistinguishable ghostly duplicates that scattered in all directions, while his true form retreated rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Child’s play! Tiger’s Majesty Intimidation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Sha raised its tiger head and unleashed an even more ferocious roar!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A solid golden sound wave, mixed with the White Tiger’s innate royal pressure, exploded outward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom! Boom! Boom…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghostly duplicates shattered like bubbles under the roar’s pressure, vanishing one after another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s true body was struck by the sonic wave—he grunted, his netherworld domain violently trembling, yin energy scattering, a trickle of blood seeping from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Found Itachi!” Bai Sha’s golden eyes instantly locked onto Cui Jue’s true form—its claws were already upon his head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No escape possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness—he did not retreat, but advanced, thrusting both hands forward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Netherworld Soul-Sealing Bell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A black ancient bell, etched with countless demonic runes and radiating ancient netherworld energy, materialized instantly before the claws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“DONG——!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claws met bell—producing a deafening crash, like a great temple bell struck, or metal shattering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Netherworld Soul-Sealing Bell trembled violently; the demonic runes on its surface flickered and dimmed, emitting piercing wails—until finally, with a sharp “crack,” it was torn apart by the tiger’s claws, saturated with ultimate slaughter and Gengjin power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Jue was struck as if by a thunderbolt—he spat another mouthful of blood, staggered backward, his aura visibly weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>",1180,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6ebe542ba5c0d7075de8e23e27b1e3ce9616bced6bc543b644e2b6030848b49b","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-143","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-141",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
