I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 65: The Rout of Master Xuanqing

Before an immense stone bridge.

At that moment, Zhou Qing was propping himself up with his longsword, circulating the Qi in his body to resist the gale-force winds blowing from all directions.

Beneath the stone bridge was a sea of endless fire.

As the gales howled, every gust carried immense force.

Amidst the gales, Zhou Qing was like a small boat on the verge of capsizing at any moment.

Not long ago, after everyone had been separated, Zhou Qing had found himself on this very stone bridge.

The gales had been blowing for the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, and Zhou Qing had struggled to press forward the entire time.

But relying solely on the Qi within his body, he had tenaciously held his ground.

At the end of the bridge stood a pitch-black door—the exit.

Zhou Qing had already crossed four-fifths of the way and was not far from the exit.

"I’m going to join the Observatory! How can I fall here?"

Zhou Qing steadied himself, pulled his longsword from the ground, and plunged it in again a short distance ahead.

The path ahead grew shorter, but the grim look in Zhou Qing’s eyes deepened.

The closer he got to the door, the more difficult the passage became.

Just then, a sudden tremor echoed through the air.

Zhou Qing subconsciously glanced back. Behind him, at the far end of the stone bridge, an enormous black hole had suddenly appeared.

Two figures leaped out of the black hole.

"Lao Shen?"

Zhou Qing froze, stunned. He could see Shen Bai enveloped in white light, and behind him, the look of utter resignation in the eyes of Qin Shuang, whom Shen Bai was dragging along.

Qin Shuang was truly at her wit’s end.

She had just stepped through a black door only to find herself in another pocket Space.

Qin Shuang had been preparing to use her intellect to break the Array, but Shen Bai had simply grabbed her and smashed his way through with a single punch.

And so, in this brutally direct fashion, they had shattered one Array after another until they arrived here.

Never in her life had Qin Shuang imagined that an Array could be broken this way. Her entire worldview was on the verge of shattering.

"Old Zhou, I’m here to lend you a hand."

Shen Bai paid no mind to Qin Shuang’s thoughts. Seeing Old Zhou’s struggle, he strode confidently onto the stone bridge.

Zhou Qing’s expression changed drastically. He was about to warn him that the wind was fierce, but he could only watch as Shen Bai walked steadily toward him, grabbed his other hand, and led him directly to the door.

The raging gale seemed like a gentle breeze, having no effect on Shen Bai whatsoever.

"It’s nothing, Old Zhou," Shen Bai said, patting Zhou Qing’s shoulder.

Zhou Qing stood as stiff as a wooden plank.

"Lao Shen... I’m starting to think I can’t figure you out at all."

These biting gales had made it impossible for him to move, yet for Shen Bai, they were like an ordinary breeze. It was simply absurd.

"Don’t worry about it, Old Zhou. Let’s keep moving."

Shen Bai said, rubbing his hands together before stepping through the next door.

’This is the perfect chance. I have to find Master Xuanqing, take his head, and eliminate a future threat.’

Soon, Shen Bai, leading Zhou Qing and Qin Shuang, vanished from that Space.

...

In an environment thick with frost, Master Xuanqing sat cross-legged on the ground. Talisman Paper circled his body, emitting a startling amount of heat.

With Master Xuanqing at the center, the wind, frost, rain, and snow could not encroach upon him in the slightest and were, in fact, disappearing at a terrifying rate.

In only about the time it takes half an incense stick to burn, the world of rain, snow, and frost was completely purged by the power of the Talisman Paper.

Once the white snow melted away, a pitch-black door was revealed on the wall ahead.

Master Xuanqing opened his eyes, stood up, and sneered, "A mere Array. How could it possibly stop me?"

’Still, this is for the best. If I get the chance to find Shen Bai, this will be the perfect time to kill him.’

Just as it had been inconvenient for Shen Bai to make a move, the same was true for Master Xuanqing.

He still remembered that group of constables.

’Now that everyone has been separated by the Array,’ Master Xuanqing thought, ’as long as I find Shen Bai when no one else is around, I can strike and kill him immediately.’

This was an excellent opportunity, and Master Xuanqing had no intention of letting it go.

With this in mind, Master Xuanqing lifted his foot and walked toward the black door.

The closer he got to the black door, the faster the Talisman Paper around him spun.

He raised his hand and placed a sheet of Talisman Paper on the door, which immediately swung open silently.

Behind the door was another Space. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Master Xuanqing thought for a moment, then lifted his foot to step inside.

But just as he had one foot across the threshold, a violent tremor suddenly rang out.

Master Xuanqing frowned, pulled his foot back, and turned toward the sound.

Cracks began to appear at the source of the noise.

Before Master Xuanqing’s astonished eyes, Shen Bai, with Qin Shuang and Zhou Qing in tow, smashed through the wall of immense Hardness and stepped into the Space.

The scene fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.

For a moment, Master Xuanqing was completely dumbstruck.

The moment Shen Bai saw Master Xuanqing, the excitement in his eyes intensified. "Twenty. I searched through twenty damn Spaces, and I’ve finally found you."

Master Xuanqing gleaned some unexpected Information from Shen Bai’s words.

"So, you were looking for me, too."

"Of course I was."

Shen Bai released Qin Shuang and Zhou Qing and shot toward Master Xuanqing, becoming a blur of motion.

"Enough talk. Hand over your life."

Throughout the entire exchange, Shen Bai wasted no time on the pointless chatter often described in storybooks; he chose to attack directly.

The battle began with shocking abruptness, but Master Xuanqing was, after all, an expert of Qingyun Cloud Temple’s younger generation, and his reactions were lightning-fast.

The instant Shen Bai lunged at him, the Floating Dust in Master Xuanqing’s hand transformed into a myriad of silken threads that grew in length and shot out to entangle Shen Bai.

Seeing this, Shen Bai threw a punch, striking the Floating Dust.

A golden Fist Gang erupted from his body. The Fist Gang, carrying an incomparably powerful Deterrence, exploded into a sky full of afterimages and blasted the Floating Dust away.

A look of surprise crossed Master Xuanqing’s face. "Impressive. No wonder you dared to kill one of my people."

As soon as he finished speaking, sheets of Talisman Paper under his control burst into violent flames.

All sorts of attacks closed in on Shen Bai from every direction.

Shen Bai stopped abruptly but made no move to counter. Instead, he circulated the Qi within his body.

The light of the Bright Jade Evil Body absorbed all of the attacks.

Then, Shen Bai flicked his finger.

All the attacks rebounded toward Master Xuanqing at an even greater Speed.

Master Xuanqing’s eyes shot wide open as he felt a sense of mortal peril.

Then, he waved his Daoist Robe.

The wide sleeve suddenly elongated, sucking all the attacks into it.

The next moment, the sleeve exploded violently. Master Xuanqing stumbled back several steps, the shock in his eyes even more profound.

"How is this possible?!"

He couldn’t believe that the man before him, Shen Bai, had broken three of his attacks in just a few moves.

’Is this really someone you’d find in a small county town? Not even that Chief Constable has this kind of power!’

Master Xuanqing swallowed hard. He saw that Shen Bai had already drawn the longsword from his waist.

A blood-red Sword Qi, carrying a brilliant and righteous aura, locked onto him completely.

In this moment of crisis, Master Xuanqing threw his Floating Dust forward and turned to flee.

’I can’t beat him! Once I get back to Fenglin State, I’ll report this to my master and have him deal with this guy!’
