Chapter 70: White Emperor Golden Sovereign Instant-Kill Strike

"Senior, I am going in now; I will have to trouble you with what follows."

After saying this, Yan Taibai rose and transformed directly into a golden rainbow of light, charging into the mist of the bamboo forest outside the courtyard, his figure vanishing.

Seeing this, Xin Ruyin's Master could only shake his head helplessly; clearly, they could have wiped out the entire group from the Yin Yang Demon Sect by relying on the formation, but Yan Taibai insisted on doing it himself, so he could not say much more.

Immediately, he stood up and took out a Formation Disk, upon which seven or eight star points appeared in the light screen, their positions exactly matching the locations of the Yin Yang Demon Sect group and Yan Taibai.

Among them, two light points—one black and one gold—quickly converged.

Clearly, Yan Taibai had found his first target.

The person with the highest cultivation in the Yin Yang Demon Sect group, the elder who had led them earlier, was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator.

For Yan Taibai, that was nine points of progress.

At this moment, the elder's entire body was wrapped and surrounded by pitch-black, icy demonic energy, with a ghastly, ghost-filled banner of about a zhang in size hovering above his head, emitting a mournful, wailing sound.

Sin value: ninety.

A level of monstrous sin!

Yan Taibai naturally could not let such a vicious person go.

Suddenly, a black water arrow shot out from the elder's sleeve, heading toward the thick fog in front.

With a "Bang," the thick fog dissipated to reveal a slender figure; it was none other than Yan Taibai.

"Fellow Daoist is truly worthy of being a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator; my concealment technique combined with this formation failed to deceive you."

Yan Taibai's eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke with a look of surprise.

"Foundation Establishment Early Stage? You are actually only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage? Could you be Yan Taibai of the Yanyue Sect's Yan Family?"

After detecting Yan Taibai's cultivation level, the elder frowned and spoke with great surprise.

He began to doubt Yan Taibai's identity.

"Yan Taibai? Heh! He should be hiding in the Yanyue Sect right now, not daring to come out at all; otherwise, my sect's disciples would surely extract his soul and refine his spirit. This is a task the sect has entrusted to us."

Yan Taibai chuckled coldly.

"Which sect's disciple are you exactly? When has our Yin Yang Demon Sect ever offended you?" Faced with Yan Taibai's words, the elder naturally could not truly believe him, and spoke with a fierce expression but a cowardly heart.

"Do not think that by relying on this formation you can kill this old man. If I want to leave, a mere formation cannot stop me."

"Heh, if that is the case, Fellow Daoist is free to leave; I will certainly not stop you."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai's smile did not fade, his tone filled with mockery.

Seeing this, a fierce look appeared on the face of the Yin Yang Demon Sect elder, and the hand seals he was holding changed.

Instantly, a demonic cloud formed by a swarming mass of wailing black ghosts and skulls transformed into a giant skull python, whistling toward Yan Taibai.

It made one feel horrified and filled with extreme fear.

However, Yan Taibai's expression did not change in the slightest.

He raised his hand and swung his sword!!!

Golden sword light erupted with radiance, and a streak of Golden Sword Qi, like a dragon, soared into the sky.

With a "Boom," it collided with the black skull python between the two, emitting a heaven-shaking roar.

For a time, demonic energy and sword energy raged and swept through the area, the powerful impact force destroying the thick fog and the bowl-thick bamboo surrounding them with the force of a falling tree or a snapping twig, causing it all to vanish into smoke.

"You are not a disciple of the Ghost Spirit Sect?"

Seeing this, the Yin Yang Demon Sect elder's expression changed; he retreated several steps and shouted sternly.

He no longer believed a single word of what Yan Taibai had said earlier.

Yet, he felt palpitations at the fact that Yan Taibai possessed such powerful divine abilities while only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.

He also understood why the other party dared to appear so directly, but it also proved one thing: the formation trapping them right now, in all likelihood, lacked a killing array to destroy trapped cultivators and could only contain them.

Yan Taibai did not answer the elder's words; his figure flickered and vanished from the elder's field of vision.

The next moment, when he reappeared, he was already above the giant banner hovering a zhang above the elder's head.

Then, he unleashed another streak of golden sword light, even purer and more fiercely sharp than the previous one.

With a "Rip" sound, like cloth being torn, the demonic energy around the giant banner offered no resistance at all before being forcibly severed and torn in two by the golden sword light streak.

With this, a top-tier Demonic Path magical tool was completely ruined, worth at most some money for its materials.

The elder below was naturally heartbroken that his most prized top-tier magical tool had been destroyed in one blow, but before he could take out another magical tool or Talisman to deal with Yan Taibai,

Yan Taibai struck again!

This time, he did not use the long sword in his hand, but a bare, pitch-black hilt.

The hilt was not large, only half a foot long, but it was dull, extremely worn, and very inconspicuous.

This was a Dharma Treasure fragment obtained from the Yue Emperor, likely originating from Jixuan of the Chaotic Star Sea.

Therefore, the moment the hilt appeared, the demonic energy around the elder began to fluctuate, rolling uncontrollably.

Then, before the elder could react or take action to defend himself, Yan Taibai raised his hand and slashed down with the hilt.

Afterward, a mournful, blinding red light that one could not bear to look at shot out from the hilt.

This red light was even sharper and three parts more overbearing than the sword light Yan Taibai had unleashed earlier, and it radiated an icy aura.

Before the elder could even sense it, the red light had already rapidly torn through his demonic energy shield and sliced him in two.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

"The Dharma Treasure fragment bestowed by the Sect Master is indeed powerful; it is much stronger than the sword cultivation divine abilities I practice."

Yan Taibai glanced at the elder's body, which had been split in two and left in pieces, and chuckled.

Then, he tapped his finger toward the Storage Bag at his waist, and the Storage Bag instantly turned into a stream of light and landed in his hand.

Following that, Yan Taibai's figure vanished once again into the bamboo forest mist that had recovered, clearly searching for his next target.

And not long after he left, a graceful figure appeared; it was that beautiful woman.

At this moment, the beautiful woman stared at the corpse on the ground, but she made no move, nor did she have any intention of collecting the body; instead, she cast her gaze toward the place where Yan Taibai had disappeared.

"Sect Master, a fragment of a Demonic Path Dharma Treasure, who exactly is this person? Is it really Yan Taibai of the Yanyue Sect? Sect Master, is it the Ghost Spirit Sect?"

The beautiful woman whispered to herself.

She did not believe that Yan Taibai, a cultivator only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, could possess such divine abilities, let alone a fragment of a Demonic Path Dharma Treasure.

Overusing such a treasure, even for one practicing Demonic Path cultivation arts, would have a massive impact and cause extreme harm to the body.

She did not believe the Yanyue Sect would give it to Yan Taibai to use.

"A frame-up?"

The beautiful woman speculated silently in her heart. The Yuanwu Country Cultivation World was naturally aware of the matters concerning the Ghost Spirit Sect, the Yan Family Fortress, and Yan Taibai.

And since they had been outside during this period, they had naturally heard of it, and even discussed it once, though it ultimately came to nothing.

Because it had little to do with them, and the reason they discussed it was only because Yan Taibai was the Taibai Sword Immortal of the Yue Kingdom Cultivation World.
