A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1295: Chapter 1281: Striking from the Shadows

Sure, here’s the translation:

Can’t deny it.

Even at this moment, Hua Hao’s mind is incredibly clear, his thinking is meticulous as he considers how to subdue Bai Changqiu.

He had never anticipated.

Bai Changqiu really dared to act, and with such prowess, his initial move even overshadows Hua Hao.

However.

Here, unless you have overwhelming superiority, how can you fight against a native powerhouse?

A mighty dragon cannot suppress a local snake.

The entire Baifu City is Hua Hao’s territory.

In an instant.

The four great families immediately understood Hua Hao’s intention and, without any hesitation, attacked the other Star Shining Sect members.

Previously.

During the conflict, most of the Inner Sect disciples of the Star Shining Sect were already injured.

At this moment.

When they strike, it can basically be considered a done deal, without any issues.

Once they capture this group of Inner Sect disciples.

They can use this as leverage against Bai Changqiu, even if Bai Changqiu doesn’t care, it will certainly have an impact, preventing him from freely engaging as he did before.

This will definitely affect Bai Changqiu’s moves.

Can’t deny.

This strategy is despicable, but effective.

However.

Seeing people from the four families charging forward, Zhou Yi furrowed his brow, finding the situation tense.

He doesn’t want to make a move.

But the current circumstances leave him no choice, as these people rush towards him, what else can he do?

Baiyu took a deep breath.

His figure retreated backward, and secretly, invisible Powerful Qi shot forth.

Just as this group charged forward, ready to engage with the other Star Shining Sect Inner Sect disciples, suddenly a hidden Powerful Qi shot out, directly influencing the hidden situation.

Several individuals from the four great families.

Were instantly blasted apart, with wounds bleeding profusely.

"There’s an expert in the shadows!"

At this moment.

A member of the four great families shouted.

No need for his shout.

The crowd had already noticed.

Several family disciples were directly exploded, covered in blood, with some people’s arms and leg bones already fractured, even Qi Xuan Realm experts have no resistance against this hidden attack.

Moreover.

They do not even know how this attack was launched.

In an instant.

A group of Star Shining Sect Inner Sect disciples began a full counterattack against the four great families as if aided by divine assistance.

Baiyu took a deep breath.

The strength of these Inner Sect disciples is not actually weak, and added to his leadership ability from Sequence Five of the Extraordinary Sequence, he can encourage those around him to unleash their potential power.

With this buff added up.

This group of Inner Sect disciples instantly became lively and energetic, akin to being possessed by a War God, relentlessly pursuing the four great family members.

Plus within the four families.

Previously those who consumed medicines are now experiencing the drug’s aftereffects, under such circumstances, their overwhelming output is astonishing.

Seeing this situation unfold.

The patriarchs of the four great families were unsettled.

Four peak Qi Xuan Realm experts joined the battle, instantly changing the tide, and the momentum gained by the Star Shining Sect Inner Sect disciples was suppressed by these four families.

Moreover, several were injured in this moment.

At this point.

Baiyu furrowed his brow and shot another hidden Powerful Qi straight at the fiercest fighting patriarch.

Bam!

In a flash.

The patriarch’s heart was penetrated, his chest exploded into a chilling hole.

His eyes filled with disbelief, witnessing who unleashed this move at the moment of the attack.

Among the Star Shining Sect Inner Sect disciples.

The one who did not step onto the stage to participate in today’s duel!

A plain and earthy Inner Sect disciple.

Turns out he’s the true hidden expert, no wonder Bai Changqiu would act, there’s a terrifying monster among the crowd!

Although his heart was pierced.

The powerful physique of a cultivator didn’t lead to his immediate death, and if he withdrew now to heal, he could fully recover in a short time.

Unfortunately.

He no longer had the chance.

Baiyu realized he discovered his actions, naturally, he couldn’t let him survive.

In an instant.

Baiyu fired several Powerful Qi shots.

The patriarch had no time to speak as these Qi shots, akin to Sword Qi, pierced vital points throughout his body, the most fatal being a brain injury turning it to mush.

Even as a cultivator.

Facing such injuries, death was instantaneous and absolute.

Unless reaching Nascent Soul Realm, after the body is destroyed the Nascent Soul can emerge, find a new body, and return to life, the primary reason for body-snatching in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Of course.

If reaching a higher Enlightenment Realm.

The Divine Soul can emerge, travel through the Nine Heavens.

One can live freely without relying on the body, and snatching others’ bodies becomes merely a Divine Thought occupying theirs.

These.

Were known to Baiyu through the Star Shining Sect’s texts.

A unique feature belonging to the path of Immortal Cultivation, perhaps.

Baiyu hadn’t heard of Martial Dao practitioners capable of traveling through Nine Heavens, although maybe because he hasn’t reached that Realm.

"In the cosmos, there isn’t just one path to cultivation, whether it’s Immortal, Extraordinary, or Martial Dao, each has its merits. I am currently advancing on three paths simultaneously; I wonder what it will develop into eventually."

Baiyu felt uncertain.

However.

In the scholar’s space, there should be ways to handle these issues.

Instantly killing a patriarch.

The other three patriarchs began to panic too, knowing the hidden expert could also kill them.

The fear of imminent death.

Left everyone anxious.

Facing the threat of sudden death, they couldn’t focus entirely, diverting most of their strength to self-preservation and defense.

After all.

Judging from the situation earlier, the hidden expert must be within the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Baiyu did not continue attacking.

Instead, he maximized the Leader Aura, sporadically disrupting the patriarchs’ performance with concealed Qi, preventing them from exerting even a fraction of their potential.

Though Bai Changqiu wondered why the battle was turning around here.

She isn’t one to hesitate in battle; every True Disciple of Star Shining Sect is adept at fighting, hence holding their positions.

Once Bai Changqiu enters battle.

She won’t be distracted by such things.

"Seems like your plans have failed, City Lord Hua." Bai Changqiu stood vividly atop the Flying Sword, hair swirling in the wind, radiating charisma.

Hua Hao narrowed his eyes.
