Chapter Eighty-Three: Six Knives

  Along the way, Huā Qiān Wǔ found an opportunity to secretly hand over the Thousand Machine Life-Taking Pill to Bái Cāng Dōng. Her intention was for Bái Cāng Dōng to pass it on to Fēng Xiān, because Fēng Xiān had the privilege of reversing fate and would be more likely to succeed when taking action, without fear of Zǐ Suān Bó Jué using his judgmental privilege.

  Bai Cangdong himself took it back and didn't hand it over to Feng Xian. In comparison, he had a firmer grasp on things, and he was more willing to control his own destiny.

  Hua Qianwu thought that Bai Cangdong would find an opportunity to hand over the Qianji Duoming Dan to Feng Xian, so she didn't say much.

  "Let's rest here for now." The crowd had already walked to the center of the swamp, but still hadn't seen the emergence of Hunyuan Jiao. It was clear that Hunyuan Jiao had not yet revived.

  "I just heard you guys say that your martial skills are not bad." The Viscount of Purple Light walked over and looked down at Bai Cangdong, who was sitting upright and resting.

  "It's just okay," Bai Cangdong replied calmly.

  "Maybe you'll know after I hit you. Come on." The Violet Duke didn't summon his weapon, he just crooked his finger at Bai Cangdong.

  "Zigongziya, you have received the true transmission of Zixiao Bo, he is not your opponent." Fengxian held back Baicheng Dong who was about to get up and said to Zigongziya.

  "Sparring is usually a common thing, since Hunyuan Jiao hasn't revived yet, you can play around if you want." Earl Zixiao spoke up, and Fengxian knew that blocking again would be useless, so she let go of Bai Cangdong.

  Huā Qiān winked at him and made a gesture, wanting him to intentionally lose, just to preserve his life.

  Bai Cangdong also knew that if he won against Duke Ziguang, it would probably be even more dangerous. However, he had another layer of thought and didn't want to easily lose either.

  After the appearance of Hunyuan Jiao, it's hard to say whether they will have another chance to get close to Ziguang. If he can take advantage of the martial competition now and catch him off guard, making Ziguang swallow the Qianji Duoming Dan, that would be even better.

  Even if there is no chance to let the Viscount of Purple Light swallow the Thousand Machines Life-Taking Pill, it can still be used to test his depth. When the time comes to take action, it will also be more confident.

  "You make the first move. If I were to strike, you wouldn't even have a chance." The Viscount of Purple Light looked down on others and didn't deign to make the first move.

  Bai Cang Dong didn't say much, and summoned the sword that Earl Zi Xiao had forcibly exchanged with him earlier. He drew the sword out of its scabbard, holding it in one hand and the scabbard in the other, directly unleashing his dual-blade technique.

  The Violet Duke didn't even deign to dodge, the purple divine light on his gauntlets bursting forth, and he exchanged a fierce blow with Bai Cangdong. The latter's knife light was directly shattered, and he retreated dozens of steps before stabilizing his figure, while the Violet Duke remained unmoving. The gap between their divine lights was simply too great.

  "Your innate divine light is too weak." said Viscount Purple Light with disdain.

  Bai Cang's face turned red with rage, as if infuriated by the Marquis of Purple Light, and he launched a frenzied attack without saying another word.

  Zigongzi reuses his old trick, going hard against Bai Cangdong's knife light again. Unexpectedly, after making his move, he finds Bai Cangdong appearing on his other side, the knife and scabbard slashing fiercely towards his arm.

  Boom!

  The purple divine light burst out from the body of the Purple Light Viscount, blocking White Haoran's sword light and sending him stumbling back several steps.

  Although Viscount Purple Light was not injured, he was extremely irritated in his heart. He had been cut by Bai Cangdong due to his carelessness, which was really unbearable.

  Both of them seemed to have ignited their anger, and the fight instantly escalated to a fierce degree.

  The Baron of Purple Light's divine light was incredibly thick, at least over 200 units, while Bai Cangdong only had a little over 20 units. This tenfold difference made it impossible for Bai Cangdong to engage in a head-on confrontation with the Baron of Purple Light. Fortunately, he was skilled in body techniques, and his "Quarter" body technique combined with the "One Step Further" technique he had secretly learned from Mosang, allowed him to evade the Baron's attacks, who couldn't find an opportunity to strike back.

  "His footwork isn't bad." Earl Zixiao commented from the side, naturally referring to Bai Cangdong's footwork.

  Hua Qianwu and the others were getting anxious, they all thought that Bai Canghai would give in after a couple of exchanges, but who knew that he actually started fighting back, and it seemed like he was really angry, already to the point where they were fighting for their lives, every move aimed at each other's vitals.

  Bai Cang's face was filled with anger, his hands moved swiftly and fiercely, but in his heart he remained as calm as ice, observing every move of the Purple Light Duke. As for his own divine light, it went without saying that no one among them could match its power, which exceeded 200 units.

  The palm technique and body method are also very powerful, plus a luxurious armor, even if the Violet Light Viscount doesn't have any other means of survival, just under these conditions, they can't defeat the Violet Light Viscount in an extremely short period of time and make him swallow the Thousand Machine Life-Stealing Pill.

  The biggest obstacle is the thick life-saving divine light of Viscount Purple Light, with such a thick life-saving divine light to protect himself, they don't even have the chance to force him to eat the Thousand Machines Life-Stealing Pill.

  "We must provoke his anger and make him use his strongest divine light with all his might, so that he can consume a large amount of his divine light, and when the time comes to take action, we can defeat him in one fell swoop."

  Having understood this point, Bai Cangdong's attack became more active and proactive, constantly changing his moves to find opportunities to attack the Purple Light Viscount. Although the force of his attacks was not enough to hurt the Purple Light Viscount, each time he hit him, it made the Purple Light Viscount's anger rise even higher.

  Unbeknownst to him, Viscount Purple Light had already exhausted his strength and engaged in a fierce battle with Bai Cangdong. His life-or-death divine light was desperately shot out, but since he basically couldn't hit Bai Cangdong, Viscount Purple Light could only use large-scale life-or-death divine light attacks on Bai Cangdong to reduce the range of his dodges.

  Bai Cangdong was like a dancer on the blade, every step was thrilling and dangerous, with the strong divine light of the Purple Light Duke's life, as long as he took one hit, he would immediately be severely injured.

  The calmer Bai Cangdong became in this situation, the faster his body shape changed positions, each time he was able to dodge the vicious attacks of Ziguangzi just in time. Occasionally counterattacking, although it didn't have any effect, but it made Ziguangzi's anger even more intense.

  Bai Cangdong could sense that the life-threatening divine light of the Violet Light Duke was rapidly flowing away, its intensity no longer as terrifying as before, and it was gradually weakening.

  Zigongzi felt that his own innate divine light was being consumed in large quantities, and if this continued, even if he used up all his innate divine light, it would be impossible to harm Bai Cangdong. So he stopped attacking Bai Cangdong and suddenly jumped out of the battle circle.

  Bai Cang's heart felt a slight sense of disappointment, the Purple Light Duke's life-protecting divine light had consumed quite a bit but still maintained a pretty good level, if it ended like this, when they truly made their move later, it would probably be very difficult to break through his life-protecting divine light.

  "Your swordsmanship is indeed formidable, the best among all the viscounts I've seen. However, no one can remain undefeated in front of me, and you won't be an exception. Within seven moves, I will definitely cut you down with my blade." The Viscount Purple Light's eyes flashed with a killing intent, it seems he has truly become enraged and wants to cut White Cangdong down.

  Bai Cangdong was not surprised, but instead delighted. He did not fear the wrath of Prince Ziguang, and from the tone of his voice, he knew that the next seven moves would be his ultimate technique, which could test his limits, and this was a good thing.

  "Guang Er, stop here, the time for the revival of Hunyuan Jiao is near, there's no need to waste your Benming Shenguang." said Earl Zixiao with a frown.

  "I must win against him." However, Viscount Purple Light had made up his mind to kill Bai Cangdong. The raised blade emitted a brilliant light, almost as if a purple dragon was swimming on the blade.

  Bai Cang's heart was both shocked and delighted. Shocked by the terrifying aura of Purple Light Son's knife, which had reached an extremely frightening level and was still rising, this one knife would surely shake the heavens and earth. If he really managed to withstand it, perhaps not even a bone fragment would be left behind. Delighted because such a terrifying knife technique must have consumed a huge amount of his vital energy, if he could really withstand seven knives, perhaps Purple Light Son wouldn't have much vital energy left, which would be very beneficial for their plan later on.

  Bai Cangdong was still pondering when Ziguangzi had already swung out his first sword, like a dragon's sword light roaring to life, directly piercing through space and traversing over thirty meters of distance, appearing right in front of Bai Cangdong.

  Boom!

  Without any hesitation, Bai Cangdong summoned a giant shield that was taller than a person and inserted it into the ground in front of him, while he quickly retreated. However, the Viscount-level giant shield was directly shattered by one slash from Zi Guangzi's sword.

  "What a terrifying sword technique!" Bai Cangdong was shocked in his heart, but he didn't have time to think more, as the second knife of Prince Ziguang had already flown over, even more ferocious than the first one.

  A gleam of light several tens of meters long transformed into a dragon shape, swirling and devouring downwards, leaving people almost in despair.

  Boom!

  The sword light exploded on the ground, blowing up a crater with a diameter of over ten meters. Bai Cangdong, who was just standing there, suddenly appeared on the other side, using his "Quarter" body technique to dodge the sword light.

  "Come again!" The Viscount of Purple Light's face flushed with excitement, and he swung his long sword once more. The sword light was like the descent of the Nine Heavenly Thunderbolts, as if to annihilate all ugliness in the world.

  "Isn't this taking my life?" Bai Cangdong cursed in his heart, and his movements didn't slow down at all. He dodged the knife light with a series of flips and rolls.

  The fourth slash of Viscount Purple Light came sweeping in, like a ripple that spread out from him as its center, cutting off everything that blocked the light of his blade.

  Bai Cang Dong leapt up from the ground and jumped into the air, dodging the sweeping knife. His quick reaction was also breathtaking to behold.

  The face of Viscount Purple Light had already turned somewhat pale, but he still directly slashed out the fifth knife. The blade edge rose from below and cut upwards, the blade light was like a vicious shark in the sea jumping up to swallow a seabird, chasing after White Cao Dong from below.

  Bai Cang Dong was forced to use the first step of Tian Shang Ba Bu, added to Ping Bu Qing Yun, and barely dodged the fifth knife.

  "Die!" The face of Viscount Purple Light had become twisted and ferocious, a single slash sent out layers upon layers of knife lights, it was impossible to tell how many there were, all chopping towards Bai Cangdong from all directions.
