Chapter 27: San Guang Wan
"Zheng Hao and the others didn't know where they found a fierce person, but Xiao Quan wasn't around, what were they supposed to do?" The Three Swords Baron had already been treated for his injuries, but his face was still very pale.
"No way, I can only gamble now." The Hundred Fists Baron's face turned gloomy: "Old Three, do you have that San Guang pill on you?"
"Do you want to use San Guang Wan? That thing is too harmful to the body, using it once will at least put you in bed for half a year, you have to think carefully." Duke of Three Swords said in shock.
"There's no other way, we absolutely can't let Zheng Hao and his gang act so arrogantly. Although the San Guang pill is harmful to the body, it contains three noble-grade divine lights that are bound to suppress anyone, no matter how fierce they are."
"San Guang Wan is here, you figure it out yourself." The Triple Sword Baron handed a jade bottle to the Hundred Fist Baron.
The Hundred Fists Baron gritted his teeth and opened the jade bottle, swallowing the Dan pill that was flashing with a green light inside. A red tide suddenly surged up to his cheeks.
"Are you going to fight or not? If not, then consider yourselves forfeiting!" Zheng Hao shouted loudly on this side, returning all the anger he had endured earlier.
"What's the hurry to send yourself to death?" Baron Hundred Fists jumped onto the martial arts stage.
Bai Cangdong looked at Baiquan Marquis and felt a sense of palpitations for some reason. After careful observation, he found that Baiquan Marquis was even more unusual.
"You think you can take a punch from me? Let's see if your palm technique is dominant or my fist is ruthless enough." The Hundred Fists Baron came up with a punch, clearly wanting to go head-to-head with Bai Cangdong.
"As expected, something's off. After seeing the power of the axe, you still want to go head-to-head with me? There must be a hidden scheme." Bai Cangdong's palm struck out silently, and it was about to collide with the Hundred Fists Baron's fist.
The Baron of a Hundred Fists was overjoyed in his heart, and a green glow suddenly burst out on his fist, exactly the same as the undead divine light of the Viscount level.
Fortunately, Bai Cangdong was well-prepared. Just as he and the Undead Godlight were about to collide, his body made a strange rotation, dodging the Hundred Fists Baron's punch and the Undead Godlight, and slipped past from the side.
"Immortal divine light? Impossible! Bai Quan Baron is just a baron, how can he possess the immortal divine light!" Zheng Hao exclaimed in shock on stage.
"He must have used some kind of elixir, that's the only way he could temporarily possess the Undying Divine Light. Although it's not the real thing and can only be used a limited number of times, it should be enough to deal with the Baron." Ma Fei said with a serious expression.
"How despicable! He actually used that pellet in a duel." Zheng Hao gritted his teeth.
"This is also our fault for not telling him beforehand that Danwan was off-limits, and we never thought that Baigui Baron would actually use such a precious pill. The price of that pill is extremely high, and the side effects after using it are also very severe. Even if an ordinary baron were to obtain one by chance, they would treasure it and keep it for emergencies. Who would have thought that Baigui Baron would be willing to use it in a duel? Now we can only hope that Quanhou Baron will pull through. Those pills all have usage limits, and Baigui Baron won't be able to use them many more times."
"Now all I can hope for is this." Zheng Hao nervously watched the stage.
The Hundred Fists Baron used a Divine Light once and didn't continue using it, instead waiting for an opportunity to land a fatal blow on Bai Cangdong.
Due to Shen Guang's presence, Bai Cangdong did not dare to launch a fierce attack and could only dodge and weave to avoid the Hundred Fists Baron's attacks.
Before long, Bai Cangdong was forced to jump into the air, and Baigui Baron saw it with joy in his heart, and another divine light struck past.
Everyone thought that Bai Cangdong was unable to dodge the divine light at this time, but Bai Cangdong's body suddenly made a strange movement in mid-air, and he actually moved up another three feet in the air, narrowly avoiding the divine light.
"He's actually mastered the 'Stepping on Clouds' technique!" Someone immediately recognized the martial art that Bai Cangdong was using.
Zheng Hao and others were also greatly surprised, originally thought that Bai Cangdong had already lost, did not expect to have such a turn of events, all couldn't help but cheer up.
Before the cheers had even died down, Bai Kuan's Hundred Fists Baron unleashed another divine light attack at White Emperor in mid-air.
Zheng Hao and the others' smiles instantly froze on their faces. Although they had never practiced "Flat Steps in the Clouds", they knew that this body technique could only dodge the divine light once, and there was no possibility of avoiding it again.
It's clear that Bai Quan Baron also knew about Ping Bu Qing Yun's this characteristic, so he would be so resolute in striking out the last divine light, with a ferocious expression staring at White Can Dong in the sky.
Bai Cang Dong's body was shrouded in a heavenly aura, and he had already taken four steps forward. He could have easily dodged the divine light, but instead, he summoned his pure white knight's greatsword and swung it down at the light with both hands.
If he wants to be promoted to Viscount, he will have to face the Upper God's Light in the future. Now, using this to test his own strength is a thousand times better than recklessly challenging an undead of the Viscount level.
"Boom!" Bai Cangdong was blown away along with his sword, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood in mid-air.
Bai Cangdong forcibly stopped himself at the edge of the martial stage, but his hands were trembling uncontrollably. The pure white knight's giant sword fell to one side, and if not for its indestructible property, it would have been shattered into pieces by the divine light.
"What a terrifying divine light, the difference between Viscount and Baron is indeed like heaven and earth." Bai Cangdong was shocked in his heart, he struck with all his might at the divine light, but was still beaten so miserably.
"Get out of my sight." The Hundred Fists Baron had used up three divine lights, and his body was already barely holding on. However, seeing that Bai Cangdong was about to collapse, he mustered up a bit of energy and charged at him.
Bai Cangdong didn't know if Bai Quan Baron could still bring out his divine light, and he didn't dare to fight him head-on. He slightly shifted his body to dodge Bai Quan Baron's desperate attack. Unexpectedly, Bai Quan Baron was already at the end of his strength, and he didn't even have the ability to pull himself back together. In an instant, he directly crashed down from the martial arts stage.
"We won!" Zheng Hao still couldn't believe it and asked Ma Fei beside him.
"Haha, of course we won. The Hundred Fists Baron has exhausted his divine light and his body is ruined. He'll have to spend at least a few months in bed. This time it's really our victory."
A crowd of people couldn't care about anything else and all ran up onto the martial arts platform, wanting to lift Bai Canghai up.
Who would have thought that Bai Cangdong's body suddenly softened and almost fell to the ground, fortunately being caught by Ma Fei, who was closest to him, and thus did not fall.
"He was struck by a divine light and suffered serious injuries. First give him the healing pellets to take," said Ma Fei.
Zheng Hao hastily took out the danwan and fed it to Bai Cangdong, who ate it and was stabilized after almost half a time. The group of people from the Hundred Fists Baron had already left early.
"The Viscount's divine light is indeed formidable." Bai Cangdong felt much better and let out a long sigh, saying.
"That's not even the real Benming Shenguang, it's just the effect of the Danwan, and its power is weaker than the worst Bronze Benming Shenguang. If a true Viscount-level expert were to use their Benming Shenguang on you head-on, you'd definitely be dead by now." Ma Fei said from the side.
"The terror of the Viscount-level divine light is so terrifying that we don't know when we can upgrade to the Viscount level." Zheng Hao sighed.
"It's tough, really tough. Without special martial skills and equipment, it's as difficult to advance to Viscount level as climbing the sky. Normally, a Baron-level would never be able to defeat a Viscount-level." Ma Fei said with some helplessness.
"Never mind about that, today we won a great victory over those people from Shenwu Association, let's all go to Tian Shang Ge to celebrate, Old Ma said it himself, beautiful wine and beautiful women are at your disposal, but no excuses." Zheng Hao excitedly jumped up and said.
"You've known me for so long, when have I ever gone back on my word?" Ma Fei said unhappily.
"What are we waiting for, let's go to the Heavenly Pavilion immediately. Fist... Ah, you still don't know what your name is? From now on, everyone will be our own people, so tell us your name." Zheng Hao said to Bai Cangdong.
"My name is Bai Cangdong, you guys go play, I'm still not fully recovered from the injuries on my body, feeling very tired, want to go back and sleep." said Bai Cangdong.
"Alright, take care of your body. Next time I'll invite you to Tian Shang Ge alone." Ma Fei gave his own carriage to Bai Cangdong and found someone to send him back home.
Bai Cangdong returned home and lay on his bed, frowning to himself: "The Benming Shenguang is even more terrifying than I imagined. I don't know how much thought and effort Count Kailuo put into finding such a weak Viscount-level Wind Spirit, and also obtaining the 'Wuli Finger' and 'Hehe Finger', just to let Li Xiangfei advance to Viscount. If I want to advance to Viscount myself, I really don't know what kind of price I'll have to pay. My current strength is still not enough."
Now Bai Cangdong clearly knew that ordinary baron-level armed and martial arts were basically useless against viscount-level people, especially martial arts like splitting axe that relied on brute force to fight hard. The main divine light of the viscount level would be completely restrained, while instead, martial arts like Ping Buqiong Cloud and Tian Shang Ba Bu, as well as Tong Kuai Dao Fa, could play a very big role.
"My predecessors were all able to advance to Viscount, and I will definitely be able to do so too. There must be some way to do it. Next time when I see Lady Honglian again, I can ask her about it. With her identity and status, she must know many ways to defeat the undead at the Viscount level."
Bai Cang Dong had just thought of Hong Lian Furen when her figure suddenly appeared silently in front of him, startling him.
"What's wrong? Do I look that frightening? You've turned green with fear." Lady Honglian said with a pout.
"It was Madam's beauty that shocked me." Bai Cangdong thought to himself, how to bring up the topic of asking Honglian Madam about promoting to viscount.
"Has your mouth been smeared with honey just one day without seeing you?" Lady Honglian paused, then continued: "My brother decided to find someone to teach Xiangfei martial arts, and I recommended you."
"Me? Lady, you must be mistaken. I'm just a baron, and you want me to teach martial arts to Viscountess Shangfei?" Bai Cangdong's eyes widened in surprise.
