Chapter 576 Mistake
Upon hearing Lin Zhao's voice, Bai Qingtian was unable to deduce the identity of the person before him. Furthermore, since Lin Zhao was shrouded in a loose black cloak, he was even less able to determine which level nine spirit talisman master from the Great Qin Dynasty was in front of him.

He knew about every secondary professional who reached level nine in the Ancestral Dragon Plane, but none of the people in front of him matched any of the characters in his mind.

However, Bai Qingtian didn't think much of it. After all, there were quite a few reclusive masters in the Ancestral Dragon Plane who didn't want to register, so he regarded the person in front of him as one of those powerful figures.

“Master, if you are willing to help my Great Qing Dynasty, the Great Qing Dynasty is willing to give you twice the value that the Great Qin Dynasty gave you.”

Lin Zhao was surprised that the other party had said such a thing before he had even started fighting. After pondering the meaning behind Bai Qingtian's words for a while, Lin Zhao's gaze fell on the three armies that were being weakened by the Dragon Trapping Formation.

The other party offered this condition not only because they valued his status as a level nine spirit talisman master, but also largely because they were considering the well-being of their subordinates.

Lin Zhao greatly admired this sense of responsibility towards the legion, but unfortunately, the other party belonged to the Qing Dynasty.

"I have a long-standing grudge against the Qing Dynasty. If General Bai is willing to lead his army to pledge allegiance to the Qin Dynasty, I can guarantee that the Qin Dynasty can give you anything the Qing Dynasty can give you."

Bai Qingtian tightened his grip on the broadsword, his gaze sharpened, and his tone turned serious: "It seems we can only settle this with our hands."

To be honest, Bai Qingtian didn't think his opponent was a match for him. After all, even if his opponent was a Great Perfection of the Integration Stage, Bai Qingtian was confident that his cultivation, except for the last step, had been steadily and solidly climbed up step by step. Moreover, his combat experience was so rich that even in the Ancestral Dragon Plane, which revered martial arts, he would be considered one of the top.

"I apologize for my offense." Bai Qingtian raised his broadsword, and a clear, rainbow-like blade light condensed on the blade. It was as fast as frost and snow, with a scorching blade intent and a cool blade radiance. Spiritual energy was poured into the blade, tearing through the void and causing the space around him and Lin Zhao to tremble.

Faced with Bai Qingtian's silent yet fierce and sharp blade, Lin Zhao's figure flashed.

A dragon's roar shattered the sky, and the purple-gold spear crashed head-on into the broadsword.

Bai Qingtian found it hard to describe the feeling he had when this spear was mounted on his natal weapon, the White Moon Blade.

The White Moon Blade let out a mournful cry after colliding with the Purple Gold Spear, as if it had truly struck a powerful and majestic ancient dragon.

The intermittent tingling pain from his tiger's mouth reminded Bai Qingtian that his hand had been broken by the impact of just one direct clash of swords and spears.

The faint pain was nothing in his years of fighting. Bai Qingtian took a deep breath, laughed loudly, and a strong fighting spirit rose in his deep eyes. He shook his body, gripped the White Moon Blade again, and shouted: "Again!"

A silvery-white spiritual aura enveloped his broken hand. Bai Qingtian gripped the White Moon Blade, his slender body contrasting sharply with the somewhat delicate blade.

Despite being at a disadvantage in the first encounter, Bai Qingtian did not choose to retreat, but instead closed in again.

Lin Zhao noticed that Bai Qingtian's deputy general had also appeared behind her at some point, surrounded by silver-white spiritual energy, clearly indicating that he was practicing the same spiritual technique as Bai Qingtian.

That's where things get interesting.

Lin Zhao faced Bai Qingtian's increasingly sharp and rapid sword strikes, constantly swinging his spear, but only in defense.

Bai Qingtian looked tall and slender, seemingly someone who cultivated strength, since many sword cultivators primarily focused on physical strength. However, his attack techniques and the ever-increasing sword aura told Lin Zhao that his attack methods relied on extreme speed.

In the world of martial arts, speed is the only way to break through defenses. This four-word phrase was perfectly embodied in the spiritual skill used by Bai Qingtian.

Lin Zhao was dazzled by a spiritual technique for the first time. Bai Qingtian only had one knife in his hand, but as the afterimages of his knife danced faster and faster, thousands of knives appeared in Lin Zhao's vision.

Each knife isn't particularly lethal, but they're incredibly fast. A single cut might only leave a scratch, but what about thousands or tens of thousands of cuts?
The incredibly fast blades seemed to have coalesced into another terrifying weapon, lunging towards Lin Zhao.

The sword strike was fully unleashed, just like the feeling one gets when Bai Qingtian unleashes his attack—sharp and fierce, as if it would strike the enemy's vitals at any moment.

Lin Zhao retreated step by step, using her spear only to resist and not to retaliate. Behind her, just before she retreated to his front, the deputy general Bai Qingtian lost his composure and failed to assess the distance. He felt that he had gathered his strength, so he combined his sword momentum, gripped a long sword similar to the White Moon Blade, activated his spiritual skill, and slashed at Lin Zhao's crown.

His actions caught Bai Qingtian off guard, and because of his preemptive strike, Bai Qingtian had to accelerate his sword strikes even faster.

Spiritual skill, a thousand rays of white rainbow.

This was originally a spiritual skill created by a true immortal. When mastered, it can unleash a thousand cuts in a single breath, forming a white rainbow breaking through the clouds, and inflicting damage on the enemy at the fastest speed in close combat.

Of course, this is not the most terrifying aspect of Bai Hong Qian Hui. The most powerful thing about this spiritual skill is that its effect can be used by multiple people and stacked.

Moreover, the combined effect is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two.

The Broken Cloud Legion has experimented with this; two Nascent Soul stage cultivators at the Great Perfection level once joined forces to use the White Rainbow Thousand Radiance and repelled an early-stage Integration stage cultivator in a short period of time.

This is already a terrifying effect.

Therefore, when Bai Qingtian and his deputy used Bai Hong Qian Hui on a Nascent Soul cultivator at the same time, no matter which direction the enemy was from, they were met with an invisible, sharp blade aura.

However, the problem arose because his deputy made the move prematurely.

A gap of less than a breath appeared. This gap might not have much of an impact on those with slightly insufficient cultivation or combat experience, but even though Bai Qingtian wanted to speed up his sword strikes to make up for it, it was still too late.

Lin Zhao blocked his sword strike with a spear, then turned and grabbed his lieutenant. His lieutenant couldn't believe that someone could withstand Bai Hong Qian Hui's attack with their bare body. He grabbed his collar and flung him away.

Bai Qingtian's gaze faltered for a moment, but the ever-changing battlefield left him no chance to worry about his deputy general, because after Lin Zhao blocked a White Rainbow Thousand Radiance, lightning surrounded him, and the lightning at the tip of his purple-gold spear almost condensed into a white light that was about to explode.

Lin Zhao's toes pointed backward again, but this time it wasn't because she was forced by the opponent's sword strike; rather, she was gathering her strength.

Thunderclaps gathered in the void, and amidst the dark clouds, a tiny bolt of lightning surged with the wind, piercing through the nine heavens, and with wind and rain pouring down, it took the shape of a dragon.

"Thunder Dragon, Heavenly Guidance."

A thunder dragon strike slammed down, and Bai Qingtian was caught in the blast, his white moon blade barely managing to stay afloat.

Surrounded by a giant thunder dragon, Bai Qingtian unleashed his strongest spiritual technique.

A sharp, silvery-white light erupted, colliding with the thunder.

boom!
In that instant, a world-destroying thunderous explosion resounded, and all five legions trembled at the sound.

They all looked up at the two figures in the void, their breaths catching in their throats.
