CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: FIERCE BATTLE AGAINST FOUNDATION ESTABLISHMENT

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

He knew that the Red Rainbow Sect would not let them off easily.

"Forgive me, seniors, for my impudence. I have urgent matters, but I promise I will return to Cyan Dragon Bay at a later date to receive your teachings!"

Bai Xinghe was furious when he heard this: "How presumptuous! A mere junior dares to be so insolent!"

"You’re just a Qi Cultivation Cultivator, an ant at best, and yet you dare defy the decrees of the Red Rainbow Sect!"

"Shen Xuan, do you have a death wish?"

Shen Xuan shook his head slightly.

A loose cultivator in the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, unable to change poverty with wealth, could only bow to power.

Living at the bottom, paying taxes and performing forced labor, tirelessly striving to be cattle and horses.

Said area’s cultivation influence’s common expendable resources.

Farming, mining, fishing, pioneering, etc., all put to use.

Like Shen Xuan, who had a skill, was long-term exploitation target of cultivation influences.

How could he be allowed to leave at will?

"I ask Senior Bai to show some leniency for the sake of Qin Yuehan and Lv Zhengying."

Shen Xuan brought up two Foundation Establishment classmates again.

"What do you know! If not for them, I would have blasted you to pieces long ago!"

"That woman, she must be an ordinary Ding Family girl! Kill her with one strike of your sword first!"

Behind him, came the trembling, near-tearful voice of Ding Yuyao.

"Husband..."

Shen Xuan smiled.

He didn’t look back.

His wife must have been frightened.

"Senior Bai, have you ever been married?"

"I have three wives and five concubines, do you dare mock me for not being married?"

Shen Xuan waved his hand.

"Senior Bai, I didn’t mean that. I want to ask, do you remember the wedding vows during the ceremony?"

Bai Xinghe was taken aback.

Every time he married, he was eager to enter the bridal chamber for a good time!

Who would bother to remember those vows!

"I, however, remember them clearly."

"The couple bows: Once, a wholehearted commitment, a deep affection, to grow old together."

"Twice, mutual consent, mutual fulfillment, eternally bathed in the river of love."

"Thrice, three lifetimes of luck, stars shining bright, forever united in heart."

Shen Xuan’s expression gradually became solemn.

"I, Shen Xuan, may not be considered a good husband, but I keep my promises and follow through with my words."

"As for the matter of proving the path by killing one’s wife, I’ll leave that for Senior Bai to attempt!"

Bai Xinghe’s face turned livid.

"You dare mock me, young one! Then don’t blame me for being merciless!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Suddenly, the Longze River raised an enormous wave, water exploding with a menacing aura!

Caught off guard, Bai Xinghe instinctively flew back, a red magic sword appearing in his hand.

Unexpectedly, that towering wave, as if controlled, suddenly pushed towards the flying ship on the river.

At the same time, Zhao Chunsheng seamlessly activated the flying ship, taking advantage of the force of the waves, rapidly speeding away!

"Clever boy!"

Bai Xinghe was about to give chase but heard the sound of "crashing" water, as four icy blades resembling Cold Ice Divine Dragons came rushing toward him.

The flying ship was gone.

Shen Xuan, however, stood atop the water, clad in blue, looking arrogantly imperious.

Bai Xinghe found it amusing.

This young fellow doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!

Does he intend to take on him and the Red Rainbow Sect warship by his strength alone?

Common knowledge in the Cultivation Realm.

Flying ships can’t outpace spaceships.

A flying ship is just a Tier One Upper Grade Flying Spiritual Artifact.

While a spaceship is an outright Flying Magical Treasure.

In terms of speed, defense, offense, endurance, cargo capacity, etc.

Flying ships, when faced with spaceships, can only be passively beaten.

Just like Qi Cultivation Realm Cultivators facing Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.

The difference in spiritual power, divine sense, and flesh body is several times over!

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator can easily suppress ten Qi Cultivation Cultivators of Perfection!

Bai Xinghe didn’t understand where Shen Xuan got the courage to face him head-on.

"Presumptuous junior!"

A large hand glowing red appeared, seemingly substantial, parting the clouds and exuding powerful terrifying pressure, sweeping toward Shen Xuan.

In sight.

The red light of the large hand was blinding.

Nearby, a roar that shook the spirit echoed.

Above the Longze River.

A faint spiritual light flickered in Shen Xuan’s eyes.

His gaze was fixed on Bai Xinghe, who was chanting and casting spells.

Shen Xuan seemed to be intimidated by the Foundation Establishment Realm’s aura.

He did not dodge at all.

Letting the red light seize him.

A protective spirit shield glowed in pale green around him, its light swirling, radiating brilliance.

The red hand was cut off three feet from Shen Xuan’s body by the protective spirit shield, unable to shrink further.

Bai Xinghe frowned slightly.

It was too smooth.

Before coming, he had read reports on Shen Xuan.

Late Stage of Qi Cultivation, a Middle Grade Talisman Master, suspected to have achieved great success in Water Technique.

The red hand was just a probing attack.

It was meant to test Shen Xuan’s strength.

Before clarifying his relations with Qin Yuehan and Lv Zhengying, he didn’t intend to kill Shen Xuan.

The order was to capture him alive back to the sect.

However, something seemed amiss.

No matter what spells he cast, the red hand remained three feet away from Shen Xuan’s body, unable to bind him.

Looking again at Shen Xuan.

The protective spirit shield was brilliantly radiant.

The corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

A look of pride.

Bai Xinghe suddenly realized.

"Clever youth, daring to toy with me!"

By now, how could he not know that Shen Xuan’s spiritual power and divine sense far exceeded his peers?

Even surpassing ordinary Qi Cultivation Cultivators of Perfection.

With only the ordinary Technique of [Fire Spirit Divine Hand], he couldn’t restrain him.

The reason Shen Xuan allowed the casting was that he knew such a degree of fire attribute technique was not enough to shake his protective spirit shield.

To buy time for the escape of the flying ship.

Bai Xinghe wasn’t wrong.

As soon as the golden hand appeared, Shen Xuan [Insightfully] detected it.

He sensed its spiritual power intensity and ultimately chose to endure it.

Water overcomes fire; he took advantage of the Five Elements technique.

In fact, Shen Xuan wasn’t worried about the threat of Bai Xinghe and the Red Rainbow Sect’s spaceship.

As long as he dove into the depths of the Longze River.

He had complete confidence in escaping.

However, to buy more time for the flying ship.

Shen Xuan remained unmoved.

Letting Bai Xinghe cast his technique.

Indeed, just as he anticipated.

As a sect Foundation Establishment, Bai Xinghe was quite dismissive of him.

Merely a technique like [Fire Spirit Divine Hand], how could it handle someone with bloodline talent like his?

"Youth seeking death!"

He had just finished speaking.

An abrupt manifestation of a red magic sword.

Sword Qi Soaring!

Scorching hot, as if to melt everything, it shot directly at Shen Xuan.

In his sight, as the magic sword passed, waves of transparent heat mist rose where the space evaporated.

In Shen Xuan’s eyes, a mysterious smile flashed.

"This is a Foundation Establishment Treasure?"

Its potency indeed surpassed any magical artifact he had ever seen.

However, he was a Water Cultivator.

And still on the surface of Longze River.

One could say he had every advantage!

As such.

The next moment.

The Top Grade magical artifact, Bishui Sword, screeched out.

[Water Control], [Critical Strike], [Iron Bone]!

The three talents of small success exploded instantly, merging and operating together.

The Bishui Sword emitted an extremely dangerous and terrifying aura.

"Fly!"

Shen Xuan’s body sunk.

Half of his body submerged in the river.

With him at the center, the water within thirty feet surged, countless Spiritual Qi flowed into the Bishui Sword, transforming into a Cold Ice Divine Dragon, speeding toward Bai Xinghe’s Red Flame Magical Sword.

Boom!

A thunderous roar echoed between heaven and earth.

Bai Xinghe’s expression suddenly changed.

He had never encountered such a bizarre scenario.

A mere Qi Cultivation Cultivator dared to resist him, a sect Foundation Establishment!
