I Can Extract Divine Power-Chapter 74: Fighting the Anomaly, The Terrifying Shen Bai

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Fighting the Anomaly, The Terrifying Shen Bai

The moment the palm stretched out, a chilling aura filled the space.

The temperature in the cavern dropped sharply, and a thin layer of frost formed on the ground.

The hand was withered like deadwood, crisscrossed with bruised, bluish veins. Its five long fingers were like an eagle’s talons.

The fingernails were as black as ink, and a nauseating stench emanated from it.

After extending, the hand immediately gripped the edge of the coffin.

A Deceitful, with a body like withered wood, sat up in the coffin.

As the Deceitful sat up, its bulging eyes began to glow with a faint green light.

An immense pressure, like a crashing mountain, descended from above, making it hard for the many Jianghu People to breathe.

Just then, the two Deceitful Objects bound by chains fell into the coffin.

The humanoid Deceitful took the Peach Wood Sword and the Bell in its hands.

The coffin began to erupt in green flames. As the light flared, the entire coffin instantly turned to ash.

The chains connected to the stone wall all snapped and, as if possessing a Spirituality of their own, coiled tightly around the Deceitful.

"BANG!"

With a dull thud, the Deceitful landed on the ground and shot its head up.

A wave of frigid wind echoed through the cavern.

The crowd of Jianghu People all took a step back in unison.

"Shen Bai, be careful! This Deceitful is too strong."

Qin Shuang warned, needles in her left hand and a fan in her right, her guard raised.

Shen Bai licked his lips and nodded slightly, but his eyes shone with excitement, as if he were looking at the most delicious food in the world.

’Strong. Very strong.’

Even Shen Bai could feel a powerful pressure washing over him.

This Deceitful before him was the strongest he had encountered since entering this world.

The terrifying pressure, like a landslide and a tsunami, made Shen Bai incredibly excited.

Ever since obtaining his Golden Finger, Shen Bai had rarely used his full strength. Even when he fought the two Venerable Envoys from the Upper Evil Sect, he had felt a distinct lack of enthusiasm.

It had been nothing more than a punch and a sword strike.

But now, it seemed he had finally found a worthy opponent.

Qin Shuang sensed something was off with Shen Bai. She turned to look and saw the excited gleam in his eyes.

She quickly guessed what he was thinking.

’This guy... have humans stopped being a challenge for him?’

’He’s looking for opponents among the Deceitful now.’

While Qin Shuang was still in shock, the humanoid Deceitful finally made a move.

"ROAR!"

A roar that was neither human nor ghost erupted from the humanoid Deceitful.

Then, holding the Bell in its left hand and the Peach Wood Sword in its right, the humanoid Deceitful charged toward the nearest Jianghu People.

"Stop it!" Chief Zheng shouted.

The many Jianghu People, along with the constables, attacked the humanoid Deceitful.

The humanoid Deceitful blocked with the Peach Wood Sword in its hand. It had no technique, just swinging it randomly.

But the Speed and power of that Peach Wood Sword far surpassed that of an ordinary person.

The chilling aura emanating from it was especially potent; with each swing, even the air began to freeze.

With one swing of the sword, the chilling aura coalesced into an invisible blade that shot forward.

Chief Zheng reacted the fastest. He swung his long knife horizontally, and a flash of light from the blade lit up the cavern.

"BANG!"

With a deafening roar, Chief Zheng, his constables, and the group of Jianghu People were all sent flying.

With just a single strike, they were already at a disadvantage.

At that moment, Qin Shuang also moved.

The Silver Needles in her left hand shot out, multiplying into a countless swarm. They interwove to form the shape of a sword and stabbed toward the humanoid Deceitful.

Meanwhile, the fan in her right hand moved rapidly, each flutter kicking up a fierce gust of wind.

The gales intertwined with the fine needles, instantly increasing their speed by several degrees.

"SHINK!"

A continuous sound of tearing flesh followed.

The fine needles viciously sank into the humanoid Deceitful’s body, forcing it back several steps before it stumbled and fell to the ground.

Qin Shuang’s fan never stopped, continuing to wave furiously.

The gales grew more terrifying, accelerating the needles and increasing their piercing power.

Seeing this, Shen Bai raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, ’That girl Qin Shuang... her strength isn’t half bad.’

As he was thinking this, the Deceitful that had fallen to the ground finally moved again.

The Deceitful subconsciously shook the Bell in its left hand.

"DONG..."

A pleasant, crisp sound emerged from the Bell, like the most beautiful music in the world.

But along with the chilling aura that accompanied the Bell’s ringing, an invisible soundwave spread out.

All the fine needles embedded in the humanoid Deceitful’s body flew back out.

The needles reversed their course, shooting straight back at Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang’s heart leaped in shock. She spun her fan, and the gales turned into a tornado, sweeping all the fine needles together.

Qin Shuang then reached out her left hand and grasped the Longsword formed by the needles. Her face had turned a little pale.

That last move had consumed a great deal of her energy.

"This Deceitful’s power has already entered the Five Organ Realm. Shen Bai, you must be careful," Qin Shuang warned.

"Five Organs?" Shen Bai stroked his chin. "Is that the next realm?"

Qin Shuang nodded. She wanted to explain, but the Deceitful gave her no chance, so she could only spit out a few quick words.

"Its Peach Wood Sword can corrode Qi, and the Bell’s soundwaves can disturb the mind. You have to... what are you doing!"

She couldn’t finish her sentence, because she saw the excited light in Shen Bai’s eyes growing brighter and brighter.

Before she could even react, Shen Bai had raised his Longsword and rushed toward the humanoid Deceitful.

The whole thing happened in an instant. Chief Zheng and the group of Jianghu People also witnessed the scene.

An image flashed before their eyes: Shen Bai was like a ravenous gourmand rushing toward a feast, and the humanoid Deceitful was the main course on the platter.

Shen Bai’s Longsword was covered in blood-red Sword Qi, and a righteous, majestic aura was continuously gathering around it.

As the Sword Qi appeared, the surrounding cold and the thin layer of frost began to recede.

The Qi and blood in Shen Bai’s body surged to their absolute peak.

The humanoid Deceitful seemed to sense the danger and swung its Peach Wood Sword in a horizontal slash.

The invisible, chilling aura coalesced into its own Sword Qi and collided with Shen Bai’s Longsword.

"CLANG!"

The sound of metal striking metal rang throughout the cavern.

Many of the Jianghu People instinctively covered their ears to avoid being injured by the sound.

Then, they witnessed an utterly terrifying scene.

Shen Bai and the humanoid Deceitful were locked in a clash of Longswords, less than a meter apart.

The humanoid Deceitful’s eyes held endless killing intent and a deep hatred for the living.

But in Shen Bai’s eyes, besides excitement, there was a sliver of calm that an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to detect.

"Your power is immense, and your skill isn’t weak either."

"I would normally be very excited, but unfortunately, you don’t seem to pose a threat to me. I just want to find an evenly matched opponent. It’s so hard."

His faint words drifted through the cavern.

Everyone present heard him, and they all froze in place as if they were wooden statues.
