I hear you wanted to cut off Zhou Qing’s limbs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was still struggling, but Shen Bai raised a hand to stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the unconcerned Shen Bai, a strange feeling suddenly came over Chief Zheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Could it be... that Shen Bai is certain he can win?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that he thought Shen Bai was incapable. In fact, ever since he’d known Shen Bai, Chief Zheng had always felt he was very strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the great tomb, Shen Bai had slain a Five Organ Realm aberration. But now, the Dark Venerable Envoy’s power was clearly beyond that of the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Zheng felt that Shen Bai had always defied common sense, but this gap in power was simply too vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, Chief Zheng just felt that Shen Bai could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This blind faith had been built up over the course of many incidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Has Shen Bai ever lost? No, never.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glimmer of hope appeared in Chief Zheng’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other constables felt the same way. Shen Bai was their only hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shopkeeper Shen, your actions today are a great service to us all! If you should fall in battle, we will not live on in shame!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Zheng finally got to his feet. \"Everyone, draw your blades! We fight alongside Shopkeeper Shen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other constables rose to their feet, gripping the long blades in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai raised an eyebrow. \"Not so fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai’s single sentence shattered the solemn atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Zheng and the others stood frozen in place, blades in hand, like puppets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai looked at the Dark Venerable Envoy. \"You talk too much. Are we going to fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time the Dark Venerable Envoy had ever encountered such a situation. The mocking glee she’d felt at the beginning had now completely dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, when it came to killing the mood, Shen Bai was a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re courting death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shadows coalesced in the Dark Venerable Envoy’s hand, lashing out at Shen Bai like a venomous snake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She can manipulate shadows, be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shuang cried out a warning as a torrent of fine needles, as numerous as hairs on an ox, shot from her hand and surged toward the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, her fan abruptly expanded, and a fierce gale sprang up from the level ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are not worthy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Venerable Envoy gave a faint wave of her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows surged forward, the gale reversed its course, and all the fine needles CLATTERED to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shuang was a practitioner of the Artifact Dao. As her needles were swept aside, she suffered a backlash, and her face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a hand rested on Qin Shuang’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I appreciate you making the first move, but it wasn’t necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-red flash of the sword, like a waning moon, annihilated the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Engulfed by the sword’s light, the shadow vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad. Your power is indeed great, but it’s still not enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of surprise showed in the Dark Venerable Envoy’s eyes before she regained her composure. \"I am the Dark Venerable Envoy. The night is my domain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the dark of night, wherever shadows fall, I am the queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately for you, you chose to fight me at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she finished speaking, the surrounding shadows began to rapidly coalesce, deepening from black to the color of pure ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Venerable Envoy’s aura surged, growing rapidly like a powerful updraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single instant, the already terrifying Dark Venerable Envoy became even more horrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crushing pressure, like a mountain, bore down on the crowd, making it hard for them to breathe. Their breaths grew heavy and labored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai narrowed his eyes. \"The night, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai raised his longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood-red glow of the sword was terrifying, like a promise of spilt blood that sent a chill down the spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai began to slowly recite a series of ethereal and sacred characters that seemed like Immortal Text from the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark shadows coiled around Shen Bai’s longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but Shen Bai also clenched his left fist. A golden Fist Gang gathered, held in check but ready to be unleashed, similarly imbued with the characters of the Mystic Heart Spell and the Shadow-Dispelling effect of Shadow Walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sacred and the terrifying intertwined, as bizarre as a Nightmare, yet existing in perfect harmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a strike with Shen Bai’s full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like a man long without a worthy opponent, eager to test his strength against the Dark Venerable Envoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a worthy opponent for the first time in a long while, Shen Bai’s heart blazed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle erupted in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Venerable Envoy’s shadows surged, blotting out the sky like a great black curtain enveloping Heaven and Earth, and a cacophony of shrieks emanated from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present felt an oppressive weight, and their gazes toward Shen Bai were filled with worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Shuang’s face was deathly pale as she thought, ’Can he really do it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know, but there was no longer any path of retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Shen Bai’s fate was bound to that of all of Shengyun County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The townspeople who had not yet evacuated looked at the familiar face of Shopkeeper Shen, yet he now felt like a complete stranger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai tilted his head back, watching the encroaching shadows as the corners of his mouth lifted into a slight smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this single strike, a strange silence descended upon the surroundings, so absolute you could hear a pin drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All that remained was the overwhelming expanse of shadow, and beneath it, the minuscule figure of Shen Bai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange thought suddenly occurred to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Shen Bai seemed as small as an ant against the backdrop of shadow, the sight of his figure, longsword in hand, gave them an inexplicable sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He will win.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They almost suspected their own senses were failing them, but it was a feeling of blind confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Bai would absolutely win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword’s light blazed like a blood moon, a resplendent, righteous aura fused with the sinister power of Shadow-Dispelling and the ethereal nature of the Mystic Heart Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one strike lit up the night, a brilliant flash streaking across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadows around the Dark Venerable Envoy’s body suddenly froze. Then, she lowered her head and looked down at her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, on her chest, was a tiny wound, from which bright red blood was welling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lodged within the wound was a sliver of Sword Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding shadows, like dust scattered by water, vanished completely in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>",1157,"2026-06-03T14:13:27.146Z","2026-06-03T14:13:33.432Z",1,"novelbin.me","c0907b6720e55d4ed727bf32a4f61b79d366052c5b3bb5b1835eff7f88ca10c1","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-97","i-can-extract-divine-power-chapter-95",322,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-extract-divine-power-cover.jpg"]
