A Top Scholar in Everything

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1288: The Man in the Black Robe

Judging from the previous performance when they entered the underground river.

Li Yun and Xuanmu are the most formidable, and they are the toughest characters to deal with. However, this black-clad man believed he could handle them with ease.

But.

He didn’t ignore the other two people either.

That little chubby guy seemed a bit odd but his strength is quite weak, and his will to fight is fragile; he’s not a major threat.

However, the other person.

Clearly appeared ordinary, yet there was an elusive feeling about him.

Indeed.

Choosing to wait for a while before coming out was the right decision. If he had come out earlier, he would probably have been the one under siege, especially from that seemingly insignificant yet secretly powerful person who would certainly have inflicted heavy damage on him.

Testing the waters like this now turned out to be a good thing.

At this moment.

Baiyu stepped onto the surface of the water, and Li Yun looked at him in disbelief: "Junior Brother Bai, since when did you... become so formidable?"

He still could not understand.

Why was Baiyu’s Calm Wind Sword so enormous!

This was something that could not be cultivated by a single person.

"Oh, you mean the Calm Wind Sword, right? I only practice the Calm Wind Sword. From the beginning, I’ve been cultivating this sword technique, and even after entering the inner sect, I haven’t switched to other offensive sword techniques. The more I practice this Clear Wind Sword Qi, the larger it becomes. I don’t know why; maybe I have a natural gift for this sword technique."

Baiyu explained very naturally.

Li Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but according to Baiyu’s description, this guy was very likely a sword cultivation genius, though he himself was unaware!

Being able to cultivate the Calm Wind Sword to this level.

It was likely.

Even the sword cultivator master who originally created this Calm Wind Sword couldn’t reach this level.

"I’ll hold this guy off, you guys team up to take down that giant serpent!"

At this moment.

Baiyu spoke.

Li Yun and Xuanmu nodded, no longer hesitating, they burst out with all their strength and trump cards, charging towards the giant serpent.

Because they could vaguely sense.

The black robe man, the tamer of the giant serpent, had slightly superior strength to the serpent. Baiyu was clearly risking his life to buy time by holding him off!

They had to act quickly.

Otherwise, if they delayed any longer.

They might all perish here.

In fact.

The black robe man’s strength was not merely a bit stronger than the giant serpent’s.

The giant serpent was at most at the Qi Xuan Realm, but the black robe man was truly at the Spirit Transformation Realm, exuding a unique aura of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Moreover.

He was at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Already with one foot faintly stepping into the Giant Spirit Realm.

It was unclear why, but he seemed to be suppressing his strength, not fully revealing it, possibly due to some special reason.

Baiyu didn’t care about any of that.

He joined the index and middle fingers of his right hand together and pointed slightly forward.

In that moment.

On the calm lake, waves rose without wind, and sword qi slashed towards the black robe man like a terrifying storm.

No sword in hand, but a sword in the heart.

This is the Sword Heart Realm of sword cultivators.

Entering this realm, one can raise a hand or a foot and emanate awe-inspiring sword qi, using tree branches or water flow as a sword, all possible.

No matter what kind of cultivator.

Apart from innate strength, one must also cultivate a state of mind.

This is called the Dao Heart.

Generally speaking, comprehending the Dao Heart is challenging, but those who have comprehended it are many times stronger than cultivators of the same realm.

A few months ago, Baiyu.

Discovered his Dao Heart, which was a Sword Seed.

Now this seed has taken root and sprouted, becoming a Sword Heart.

At this moment.

Baiyu’s sword qi had already reached the black-clad man’s face.

He frowned slightly, waved his black sleeve, and a layer of invisible powerful qi shielded his body, Baiyu’s sword qi struck it, generating no effect, just a slight ripple like a breeze brushing the water surface.

"Impressive strength, but your realm is a bit lacking. It seems you’re a sword cultivation genius; at such a young age, you’ve already comprehended the Sword Heart."

The black robe man laughed coldly.

Casually commenting on Baiyu.

As if.

Everything was under his control.

Baiyu frowned, somewhat dissatisfied: "Could you be a bit more serious, please? Being absent-minded and underestimating the enemy in battle can be fatal."

"Hahaha, serious?"

The man let out a mocking laugh, looking at Baiyu as if he were a fool: "With just your cultivation, it’s not enough to make me serious."

Speaking of which.

He gestured with one hand.

Water streams rose from all sides, forming four continuously flowing water walls, gradually enclosing into a cubic Water Prison.

At this moment.

Baiyu was instead delighted.

Because a confined space allowed him to unleash many techniques without worry, but once enclosed, he could attack without restraint, unafraid of being seen by his companions.

After all.

If things went too outrageously, his companions might be scared to death, which wouldn’t be conducive to Baiyu’s plan for low-key development.

After the Water Prison was established.

The black-clad man with a sneer at the corner of his mouth looked as if he held the power over life and death, coldly saying: "This Water Prison will continuously shrink, squeezing everything inside.

By then.

You will be crushed alive by the Water Prison.

Imagine that feeling of desperation; it will be your last memory of life."

Baiyu frowned and made a gesture with one hand.

Countless streams of water suddenly rose behind him, forming huge Water Swords, and he fully released the aura of the Spirit Transformation Realm from his body.

"Spirit Transformation Peak!"

The black-clad man was visibly shocked.

Baiyu said solemnly: "I told you not to underestimate your enemies. In fact, I could have killed you a long time ago, but I wanted to get more out of you."

As he spoke.

A deep, pure blackness bloomed from Baiyu’s eyes.

It expanded from his body, spreading in all directions.

Black Moon Death Struggle!

The Black Moon Realm instantly enveloped both of them.

The black-robed man was bewildered, but in the next moment, he felt the fear of death.

Because.

All surrounding Spiritual Qi was cut off by this dark space, and within this space, the True Qi in his body was continuously depleting! The longer the time dragged on, the weaker he became, and even without Baiyu making a move, he might be "sucked to death" by this space.

"Who are you!"

The black-clad man exclaimed in shock.

He discovered.

Baiyu’s aura had become incredibly terrifying, just like... just like those ancient, monstrous creatures in his family.

"Tell me, how do you break through to the Giant Spirit Realm? You are on the verge of breaking through the Spirit Transformation Peak and dare not use your full power because the breakthrough is near, right?

Tell me the way to break through to the Giant Spirit Realm!"

Baiyu said coldly.

For a moment.

The black-robed man almost thought he had misheard; was the guy before him joking?

How could he not be in the Giant Spirit Realm!

How could it be!
