Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 226 I'm so unwilling to accept this (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)
In a daze, Han Bai seemed to see a beam of light.

He was bathed in light, completely entranced, as if in a dream, drooling and squinting at the man.

Ren Shaoyang looked at the fence in front of him, smiled slightly, and was about to flick his sleeve.

"stop!"

Chi Zunxin suddenly shouted, "Are you human or ghost? Answer me!"

"Ghosts and spirits?" Ren Shaoyang chuckled in surprise. "You old man, you believe in ghosts and spirits too?"

Chi Zunxin looked at the two figures, one white and one red, standing in the light, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, blurting out, "Ren Shaoyang? Ren Hongxiu?"

Hongxiu pouted and said, "You're not stupid either."

Chi Zunxin looked at the two of them, his brows furrowed. After a while, he suddenly said, "You...you really came to save this kid?"

Hongxiu smiled and nodded.

Ren Shaoyang sighed and shook his head, saying, "This silly boy considers us friends, so how can we just sit idly by?"

Chi Zunxin slowly said, "You really consider him a friend?"

“Yes,” Hongxiu said, “that’s why I can’t let you hurt him.”

Chi Zunxin stared intently at them, slowly backing away, and cautiously asked, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, we'd be happy if you transferred your power to Xiao Bai," Ren Shaoyang said calmly, flipping his right hand slightly. "But we're not willing to possess him. You old man, you can't do something as despicable as burning a zither and boiling a crane."

Chi Zunxin leaned against the stone wall, looking at Han Bai in his hand, and suddenly smiled: "I heard that you are one of the strongest swordsmen in the world, and that the reputation of the 'Kunlun Three Elements Sword' is no less than that of Lang Fanyun's 'Overturning Rain Sword'?"

Ren Shaoyang stood outside the fence and slowly said, "Would you like to see it?"

"Me?" Chi Zunxin sneered, moving Han Bai's body in front of him and shrinking behind him. "Wouldn't I be at a disadvantage if I didn't have a weapon?"

Ren Shaoyang put his right hand behind his back again and shook his head, saying, "The highest good is like water. The human body is also a weapon. As long as you control it properly, what is there to fear about not having a weapon in your hand?"

"That sounds nice!" Chi Zunxin sneered. "If you hadn't used that 'Divine Sword Dragon Capture' that could change length at will, how could you have escaped from Pang Ban's clutches?"

Ren Shaoyang sighed and said, "After all this time, you should have finished transferring your essence, right?"

As he spoke, Ren Jianshen opened his palm, and a wisp of light swirled around it, making the air ripple like water when viewed from afar.

"Ah!" Chi Zunxin exclaimed in surprise, "A sword aura!"

Ren Shaoyang closed his five fingers, the light dimmed, and said calmly, "Then let's get going."

Before he finished speaking, a faint blue light, like fireflies on a summer night, floated around Chi Zunxin. Then, a dozen or so blue ribbons, like snakes, slowly appeared and meandered around him.

Chi Zunxin's expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What is this?"

Suddenly, a series of clanging sounds were heard, and ribbons flew out, instantly fluttering around him.

Chi Zunxin felt as if all he could see was the incredibly fast blue star, with sparks flashing on the walls and constant clanging sounds.

Suddenly, the light and shadow vanished.

With a flick of his sleeve, Ren Shaoyang heard a "whoosh" as the fence suddenly opened a large gap, and he and Hongxiu walked slowly inside.

He walked to the motionless Chi Zunxin and gently took Han Bai from his hands.

Looking at Han Bai, who was no longer breathing, and touching his cold, stiff body, Ren Shaoyang said, "Did the demon seed combine with Xiao Bai to be reborn from death?"

"You actually knew that?"

Chi Zunxin's hoarse voice came through. The burly man was in a terrible state, with misty drops of blood all around him.

All the blood was gushing from his body. Chi Zunxin's chin was split open, blood was spurting from his chest, his right ear was missing, and his white bones were visible. His whole body was about to shatter.

Ren Shaoyang said, "Hongxiu told me."

Hongxiu stuck out her tongue, walked out with her hands behind her back, hoisted Han Bai onto her shoulder, and laughed, "I have a demonic seed on me, so naturally I know what you're going to do."

"But you're ruthless enough! Pang Ban merely planted a demonic seed, waiting for it to mature so he could seize its essence, energy, and spirit. But you completely defied the grain, finding Xiao Bai as your Dao embryo and instead—becoming him."

Ren Shaoyang sighed, "No matter what, if we hadn't interfered, you would most likely have succeeded." "Yes," Hongxiu smiled, "Xiao Bai's personality would probably have changed drastically by then, turning from a good young man into a lecherous monster."

“That’s right!” Ren Shaoyang nodded. “That’s not good.”

Hongxiu wrinkled her nose and said, "I don't want my little brother to turn bad."

"So~" Ren Shaoyang said casually, "The sugar-coated bullets have been eaten by Xiao Bai, so let the bullets explode on their own."

Hongxiu gave a thumbs-up: "Perfect!"

Chi Zunxin stammered, incredulous, as he listened to their words, "You, you actually guessed it all?"

“Yes,” Ren Shaoyang said frankly, “I’m waiting for you right here.”

Hongxiu laughed and said, "How can we just stand by and watch our friends suffer?"

Chi Zunxin coughed up blood and looked at the white-robed man before him. In a daze, he felt that this man was handsome and bright, with a divine aura, standing next to the bright and elegant girl in red.

Such grace and beauty, so extraordinary and otherworldly.

"Hehehe~!" Chi Zunxin grinned, revealing his blood-stained teeth, and said hatefully, "If I hadn't passed on my skills to Han Bai, you wouldn't have been able to kill me so easily."

"I know."

Ren Shaoyang flipped his right hand, and with a hum, a blue flame flashed, and a thin crack suddenly appeared in the ground.

Behind the white robes, blades flashed with light, protruding in front of them, casting a bluish glow on their faces, making them look extremely eerie.

Ren Jianshen said casually, "I took advantage of someone's vulnerability, I'm sorry."

"Are you apologizing to me?" Chi Zunxin was both shocked and furious, and he roared, "Is this an apology?"

“Oh dear, Shao Yang doesn’t lie,” Hongxiu said from the side. “Besides, even if you, Master Chi, were in good health, you wouldn’t be a match for Shao Yang’s ‘sword aura’! Why hold a grudge?”

Chi Zunxin was speechless. The reason he had held on until now was simply because he was too frustrated. As a top expert, he had been taken advantage of and killed instantly by a sneak attack!

Anyone would feel a surge of emotions and resentment.

But when he saw the white-robed man opposite him, his sword flashing like countless rays of light, he thought that even in his prime, he probably wouldn't be his match.

That's it.

Chi Zunxin relaxed his shoulders and said somewhat bewilderedly, "I'm really not willing to accept this." He glanced at Han Bai again, his eyes filled with greed and reluctance, but in the end, all of this turned into a calm acceptance of defeat.

Chi Zunxin suddenly laughed loudly, "Good! I'll give all my energy to Han boy and see what kind of scenery he can see." He took out a blood-stained silk cloth from his pocket and handed it over casually.

Ren Shaoyang raised an eyebrow, reached out and took it, glanced at it, and saw several large characters written on it: "Dao Xin Mo Zi Da Fa" (Great Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique).

Chi Zunxin's eyes were glazed over, and he murmured, "I'll be watching from below. Don't embarrass me." With that, his head drooped, and he passed away peacefully.

Hongxiu looked at the dead Chizunxin and raised her eyebrows, saying, "At least he was willing to accept defeat and didn't lose face."

Ren Shaoyang listened silently and then said, "The experts in this world, whether they are being hypocritical or not, at least have a sense of pride."

Hongxiu nodded, turned to look at the iron chain on Han Bai's shoulder blade, frowned, suddenly reached out and grabbed the chain, tearing it in two with a "clang," then pulled it out with blood and pus.

These few moves were lightning fast, beyond description.

Even though Han Bai was unconscious, he still twitched a few times in pain, like a fish.

"Okay, let's go."

Ren Shaoyang nodded, then looked into the void, where familiar characters appeared.
