Chapter 1264: Chapter 1250: The Two Paths of Righteousness and Demonic

Beyond the light gate.

Was a world of clear mountains and limpid waters.

When Baiyu woke up, he didn’t see Man Ling’s figure, which meant that the transmission through the light gate wouldn’t send everyone to the same place.

Instead, it scattered people when transmitting.

As for where Man Ling was now, since he hadn’t considered they’d be separated by the teleportation beforehand, Baiyu hadn’t kept her little conch-horn on him, so he couldn’t contact her.

At this moment.

Baiyu suddenly heard a noisy commotion coming from the side.

"Demon Babu, still not surrendering? This place of clear mountains and fair waters is the perfect place for your bones to be buried!"

A shout rang out, loud and brimming with energy.

Baiyu followed the direction of the voice and looked over, only to see a man stepping on Profound Ice, covered in wounds, fleeing nonstop.

And behind him.

There were three men stepping on the same kind of Flying Sword, pursuing relentlessly.

The appearance of these three people.

Made Zhou Yi think of those legendary Cultivators who rode the sword on the wind, slaying demons between heaven and earth.

"You three are nothing but Tier One furnaces; instead of chasing me like this, why don’t you first think about your own future."

The man stepping on Profound Ice shouted without even turning his head.

"Spouting demon nonsense to confuse the masses, you fiend—today we will act on behalf of heaven."

At this moment.

The man charging at the front made a one-handed gesture, and countless tiny Flying Swords flew out from his wide sleeves, like auto-tracking missiles, shooting toward that man.

Demon Babu raised layer after layer of Profound Ice barriers around him.

Those Flying Swords slammed into the barriers with crackling sounds. Although Demon Babu wasn’t injured, his flight speed was affected and he was gradually surrounded by the three.

"Demon Babu, you have nowhere left to run. I advise you to stretch your neck out and receive execution; don’t make pointless struggles!"

The three shouted.

Clad in a black robe, Babu’s eyes flashed with a trace of madness: "Today I’ll burn my Dao Species if I must, but I will definitely not surrender. Come, the three of you can come at me together—I can at least drag one down with me!"

"Boasting shamelessly!"

The three attacked Babu from three directions, and the moment they raised their hands, they unleashed their most terrifying killing moves.

Babu’s whole body trembled, and he grabbed out a pure white Ice Dragon, swinging it viciously forward.

This Ice Dragon seemed truly alive, twisting in midair again and again before crazily lunging at the others.

Boom.

A massive layer of ice exploded on the spot.

Baiyu hadn’t expected that the people in the Profound Origin Realm would have such formidable combat power—this was already barely at the level of the Eclipse Moon Realm.

The three were forced back by this ice explosion.

But they immediately rallied and charged Babu again. At this moment, one of them caught sight of Baiyu from the corner of his eye, his movements pausing for an instant before he immediately changed direction and rushed at Baiyu instead: "There’s actually another demon here. You two be careful, I’ll kill this one first so he doesn’t help Babu escape."

Baiyu never would have thought.

He was just standing off to the side, spectating and eating melon seeds, yet trouble would still fall on his head.

This was just.

Sitting at home, disaster comes dropping from the sky.

Moreover, the way these three acted was a bit overbearing—they actually attacked directly, without distinguishing right from wrong in the slightest, not even worried about wrongful or indiscriminate killing.

At this moment.

The man thrust out with his sword.

Baiyu frowned, Blood Qi surging up. Although the man’s speed was very fast, in Baiyu’s eyes it was like that of a snail.

He flicked out two fingers.

The sword was directly and firmly caught between Baiyu’s fingers, and no matter how the other man exerted his strength, he couldn’t pull it free.

Then Baiyu bent his finger and flicked.

Snap.

The longsword instantly shattered apart.

There was obvious shock on the man’s face, but at a time like this he couldn’t afford to be distracted.

He immediately took a deep breath.

Then opened his mouth and spat, a long Fire Dragon roaring out, as if competing with the Ice Dragon Babu had condensed.

But faced with the blazing flames.

Baiyu activated his Golden Blood, his whole body turning golden, then charged straight through like a brute, not fearing the flames spraying onto his body at all.

The man split apart inside in that instant.

He had absolutely no idea where such a monster had popped out from. The reason he struck at Baiyu was because Baiyu had been lurking sneakily off to the side, very likely Babu’s accomplice. To avoid any accidents, he had decisively acted to erase this roadside ant.

But he hadn’t expected.

That this ant would suddenly transform into a dragon crossing the river.

"Daoist friend, I am an Elder of a Taiyi Sword Sect Sub-Branch. It was indeed rash of me to act out of nowhere, but I implore Daoist friend to give my Taiyi Sword Sect some face!"

At the life-and-death moment.

The man shouted loudly.

However, having already activated Golden Mode, and facing someone who just a second earlier had wanted to kill him, there was no way Baiyu would let him go.

Not to mention he’d never even heard of this damned Taiyi Sword Sect.

Even if he had.

It would still be impossible for him to spare this bastard just because of a name.

In an instant the power of the Golden Blood erupted.

Baiyu grabbed the man’s head, and then his strength exploded—bang—and it was like a watermelon bursting, red and white splattering all over the ground in an instant.

The man’s headless corpse fell.

Having already killed one, there was no way Baiyu would let the other two companions of this corpse go either.

Since he’d made a move.

He might as well eradicate the roots completely, leaving no survivors—being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself.

He took a deep breath.

Baiyu looked at the two who were locked in fierce combat with Babu, then bent his legs and in an instant arrived in the middle of the battlefield.

At this moment.

Seeing a powerful reinforcement arrive to help, Babu also instantly exploded with the potential in his body, entangling the two who were clearly already distracted.

Only by this time.

Baiyu had already moved behind them, and both fists blasted out.

The destructive force of his punches swept out, instantly blasting the upper halves of the two men’s bodies into dust.

As the two mangled corpses fell.

The mountain forest immediately fell silent.

Babu’s face remained stunned for a moment, then he promptly gave Baiyu a deep bow: "Many thanks for saving my life, senior. Many thanks for your life-saving grace."

Baiyu said in a deep voice: "What year is it now?"

He didn’t ask what place this was, nor did he ask other basic information about the Profound Origin Realm. Instead, he asked what year it was.

First, asking this way.

Could shape the image of a high-level expert who had been in seclusion for a long time and was unfamiliar with worldly affairs.

Second.

By asking the year, he could also glean a lot of useful information.

"This year is the six hundred seventy-second year of the Great Feng Dynasty, senior."

Babu said in a deep voice.

"So that much time has already passed? No wonder heaven and earth have both changed so much." A wistful look appeared in Baiyu’s eyes, his voice tinged with emotion: "Why were those three chasing you?"

"Hmph, isn’t it because people like us refused to be controlled, to become food for those Sect Elders, Sect Leaders, and Supreme Elders, so we defected from the Sect and were branded as Demon Cultivators!"

Rage flashed in Babu’s eyes.

"Oh? What’s this about?"

Baiyu pressed on.

"Four hundred years ago, a Prince of the Great Feng Dynasty exposed the filthy secrets of those high-ups in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Those old monsters.

Survive entirely by absorbing the Dao Species cultivated by their own Sect disciples!"

Babu said in a deep voice: "Ever since then, the Immortal Cultivation Realm Split into the righteous and demonic paths."
