When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 212 The Law of Heaven and Earth - Phase Two

In the western city, all three-star warriors were wiped out, and the southern city was not far behind.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

The sounds of explosive energy bursting forth were continuous.

Inside the solemn hall, all martial artists below the three-star level withdrew, their internal energy surging backward under the influence of the vital energy, their meridians ruptured, and they died.

Although death on the StarNet would cause everyone to turn into light and disappear, even the bloodstains would vanish, it still put immense pressure on the group besieging Bai Ze.

The scene was less about them surrounding Bai Ze and more about Bai Ze surrounding them.

After all the martial artists below three stars were eliminated, even four-star martial artists began to struggle.

The Taoist Society and the Hundred Herbs Society together have a total of ten four-star martial artists. Excluding Xu Xiao, Yuan Chi, and Qiao Yuexuan, there are seven more.

Now, two of them, whose skills were weaker, had begun to bleed from their seven orifices, and their qi was starting to become disordered.

Before Bai Ze reached the fourth star level, he still needed to put in some effort to fight against a fourth-star martial artist. Now that he has broken through to the fourth star level, even weaker fourth-star martial artists would find it difficult to withstand him.

Only the four stars like Qiao Yuexuan, Xu Xiao, and Yuan Chi could withstand the increasingly strong pull of the Yuan Qi.

If things continue like this, the situation could become unpredictable.

Bai Ze's true energy was just a trigger; he mainly used his words to draw upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth, so no matter how much he was exhausted, his true energy would not be depleted.

On the other hand, the situation is not necessarily the same for those on the other side.

The longer the tug-of-war lasts, the greater Bai Ze's advantage will be.

During the stalemate, the two four-star martial artists, bleeding from all seven orifices, were trembling all over, and eventually, blood and sweat seeped from every pore of their bodies.

The contest of skill is the most direct, and also the most dangerous.

The two of them were clearly unable to hold on any longer.

As the two suddenly straightened their legs and turned into white light, the vortex of vital energy immediately accelerated, and the barely maintained balance was broken.

In that instant, Huo Heng decisively changed his strategy and launched an attack.

He coveted the position of the Lord of Baiyujing, and he was capable in his own right. He immediately realized that if he didn't seek change, his group would lose face.

Eleven against one and still got killed in a fight, they have no shame at all.

Silently, a palm strike landed on the Dharma image, causing it to tremble as it guided the vital energy.

Its speed seemed faster than sound, yet it occurred without any warning.

"The 'Formless Great Elephant' of Mount Luofu!" Bai Ze's thoughts flashed rapidly.

The president of this Taoist society is from Luofu Mountain, a Taoist sect.

Mount Luofu holds a prominent position within the Taoist community. Huo Heng is confident in integrating the Taoist Academy, not only because he believes he can emerge victorious in the Jade Capital Martial Arts Tournament, but also because his family background plays a significant role.

In this martial arts era, a high status equates to great strength.

The "Formless Elephant" of Mount Luofu is characterized by its invisible attacks, dense yet wide-ranging force. It can unleash a grand momentum to defeat the enemy in one strike, or it can penetrate like mercury, leaving no gaps untouched.

That swift and silent palm strike was delivered by Huo Heng.

After the first palm strike, an even more powerful force surged through the air, dense and endless, yet carrying the momentum of a raging storm.

However, on the surface, it is difficult to see its shape, and it has no color or form.

"Return to nothingness".

Bai Ze remained motionless, simply clenching his fist, instantly generating a large amount of mist that shrouded his Dharma form in a hazy mist.

"superior."

In that instant, Xu Xiao gave a low shout, and the four-star martial artists of the Hundred Herbs Society—two men and one woman—made their move simultaneously.

He picked up his pipe, took a deep drag, and exhaled thick blue smoke that transformed into two giant palms, which he then pushed horizontally toward the Dharma image.

The palm strike, imbued with a chilling, poisonous force, reveals not only the profound skill of this individual but also the deadly power of their poisonous energy.

Nine Yin Poison Palm!

On one side is "The Great Elephant Has No Form," and on the other side is "Nine Yin Poison Palm." One is a solid and pure true qi, while the other is a combination of qi and poison, extremely yin and extremely poisonous.

After the internal energy attack failed to work, the opponent decisively unleashed a second move.

That is, attacking with multiple different types of energy simultaneously.

"Return to Nothingness" can neutralize the enemy's energy, but can Bai Ze use "Return to Nothingness" to counteract the attacks of two sides at the same time, or even more?

the answer is--

"Return to nothingness".

The changes in Qi above the Dharma Form allow it to not only deal with Huo Heng's attack but also with Xu Xiao's palm strike.

The enormous hand reached out and grabbed, dispersing the Nine Yin Poison Palm, leaving only mist swirling within its palm.

At the same time, a sword blade materialized in the other palm, with countless tiny serrations running along its edge.

The sword swept across, and blood flashed.

The two attacking four-star martial artists were cleaved in two with a single sword strike. The serrated sword mercilessly sawed through their protective aura and tore through their flesh. Four-star martial artists were utterly vulnerable.

The two men, now broken into four pieces, vanished in a flash of white light. The remaining youth, watching his companion leave, was stunned and unable to move.

However, before Bai Ze could kill him, another sword light attacked.

It is bleak, violent, and yet lively.

It was as if a venomous dragon had been born, wantonly unleashing its ferocity.

It's hard to believe that this is a sword move performed by a monk.

The long sword behind Yuan Chi had been drawn at some point. He moved with the sword, and the sword energy was like a poisonous dragon. The fierce sword light bypassed the blocking Dharma image's arm and went straight for the Dharma image's abdomen where Bai Ze was located.

Buddhist Zen Sword: Tranquil Zen Subdues the Poisonous Dragon.

Using Zen to subdue poison, one can tame the poisonous dragon within one's heart and transform it into a sword in one's hand.

The Poison Dragon Sword struck the Dharma Image, its fierce sword energy penetrating three-tenths of its body.

In that instant, a stream suddenly flowed out from the mist surrounding the Dharma image, seeping into the gap that had been pierced.

The compression of true energy within the Dharma image caused the mist to take shape, revealing countless tiny blade energies.

Mustard Seed Blade Qi!
The unique techniques of the medical school can be used for minimally invasive surgery, and can even kill silently.

After simultaneously repelling the attacks from both sides, Bai Ze's "Return to Nothingness" seemed to finally have an opening. First, Yuan Chi broke through his Dharma Form, and then Qiao Yuexuan invaded with her Mustard Seed Blade Qi.

"Do it!"

A sharp shout signaled the simultaneous attack by the group.

Huo Heng's figure flashed, and in an instant he was in front of the Dharma image. Only then did he see seven footprints appear on the dusty ground.

"Three flowers gather at the top".

The incredibly solid palm force slammed into the Dharma image, and the cracks expanded from the palm print as the center.

The infiltrated mustard seed blade energy broke through the obstruction at this moment, and the mist of blade energy struck Bai Ze.

The remaining three four-star martial artists unleashed their sword, saber, and palm strikes simultaneously. Huo Heng further intensified his palm strikes, and an invisible force erupted within his Dharma Image.

boom!
A gap was blasted open in the enormous Dharma image, and the primordial energy drawn by the Dharma image also suddenly erupted, forming turbulent currents.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuexuan glided closer and manipulated the mustard seed blade energy to slash across the room.

Sharp beams of light appeared on Bai Ze's body, slicing his face into pieces.

But Qiao Yuexuan looked greatly surprised at this moment.

Too easy!

This is simply...

"It's like cutting through a phantom."

Bai Ze appeared behind the collapsing Dharma Image, uttering the unfinished words for Qiao Yuexuan.

“I never said that I must be within my own form.”

At least, after Bai Ze became a four-star martial artist, even if the Dharma Image he condensed lost the support of Bai Ze's true energy for a short time, it was still replenished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it did not dissipate.

The Bai Ze that was cut up was just a phantom formed by "a mirage".

At that moment, the initiative was in Bai Ze's hands.

"Zawarudo".

Time seemed to stand still in Qiao Yuexuan's eyes.

Then--

"laugh!"

The serrated blade pierced through the still-dissipating Dharma image and mercilessly penetrated Qiao Yuexuan's body.

The blade was as wide as half of Qiao Yuexuan's body length, and its serrated edges spun wildly along the edge, tearing Qiao Yuexuan's body apart in an instant. Endless pain swept over her consciousness.

"The Milky Way is full".

The reappearing Dharma Image struck the remaining Dharma Image's mangled body with its palm, causing all the remaining energy to transform into extremely cold energy, which then blasted outwards, freezing the three four-star martial artists who were besieging it.

The sword blade that had shattered Qiao Yuexuan swept across, tearing the upper bodies of the three people to shreds.

Then--

"Woo——"

Amidst the surging tide of primordial energy, Faxiang stood up.

The lower body of the Dharma form, which always appears only in its upper body, is formed from its upper body, and its height reaches the top of the main hall.
