Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

Chapter 176 Everyone seems to be getting more and more irritable.

Are there demons?

Su Baichen frowned and said, "Senior brother, you continue to watch the front, I'll go check the back."

Feng Linzi nodded: "Be careful. If the enemy is too strong, escape immediately."

Su Baichen smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, Grandmaster is here."

Fenglinzi nodded.

However, out of the 189 Yin Sect disciples, 50 disciples still followed Su Baichen and turned to the rear.

This includes powerful elders like Mizuki.

"Bai Chen, the demon race doesn't come this way for no reason. You need to think carefully about what to do."

Su Baichen nodded solemnly; he knew how important this matter was.

A moment later, the demons appeared before him.

This is a wolf demon clan, which appears to be numerous. Like the fox clan, it also consists of both humanoid fairies and demon beasts.

Most importantly, he sensed the aura of the Formless Ones among this pack of wolf demons—and there were quite a few of them!

This discovery instantly set the tone for the matter in Su Baichen's mind.

He silently took out a Wuxiang Banner from his treasure pouch, and surprisingly, he then took out another Wanhun Banner!

This Ten Thousand Souls Banner was a spoil of war from the Northern Wei Dynasty. In addition to the banner itself, there was also the method for making it.

Of course, Su Baichen didn't lack the refining method; he could simply ask Yu Xiangke for it if needed.

This Ten Thousand Souls Banner is not actually authentic; it only contains ten thousand dead souls, but only a little over three hundred of them truly meet the requirements of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

In reality, this doesn't even qualify as a Thousand Soul Banner.

Why is this?

The reason is that the creation of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner requires the living to endure the most cruel torture before death, and then die with the greatest resentment, thus becoming a vengeful spirit after death.

This is actually very difficult to do, because ordinary people who suffer that kind of torture are likely to lose consciousness and break down.

Only those with an extreme will to survive and sufficiently strong mental power can ultimately become vengeful spirits.

At this moment, the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls fell into Su Baichen's hands. He released the ordinary souls, letting them reincarnate, leaving only the vengeful spirits that had been completely distorted by resentment.

To be honest, Su Baichen didn't think this soul banner had any use, but now it seems to be just right.

The Soul-Suppressing Sword on his back trembled violently.

The protective will resonating within the Xuan Yin Grand Array greatly excited it.

This sword of humanity seems eager to fight, to make these daring demons shed their blood like rivers.

Su Baichen reassured the Soul-Suppressing Sword on his back, this was not the time for the old folks to make their move.

He held the Luan Ke in his hand, and then charged into the wolf pack with a ferocious momentum!

"Hey, did you even listen to me?"

Princess Shuiyin was furious. She told him to calm down and not to act impulsively. He had clearly agreed, but then he turned around and rushed at her!

But what can be done in this situation?

"Let's go too!"

Well, we can't just watch this kid charge in alone.

Mizukage also joined in the merriment.

With a swift upward slash, Su Baichen imbued the already heavy sword with the weight and solidity of earth, sending the leading wolf beast flying!

Then Su Baichen steadily swung his sword among the wolves. Wherever the not-too-sharp blade passed, it either broke the wolf's spine or shattered its skull.

There was absolutely no one who could withstand a single blow.

To be honest, these wolf-like demonic beasts also cultivate their bodies; their skin is as tough as copper and their bones as strong as iron, so they wouldn't be so vulnerable even if attacked.

But Su Baichen—that's just pure strength!

As Shuiyin Ji watched Su Baichen stand like a rock among the wolves, casually wielding his sword and crushing one wolves a head taller than a man after another, her admiration for his combat style, which was full of numerical beauty, arose in her heart.

At the same time, the Yin Sect disciples were also extremely excited. With Su Baichen holding off the powerful enemies in front, they only needed to follow behind and charge into battle.

The wolf clan's battle formation was broken in an instant.

Only then did a wolf demon from the wolf clan, unable to contain itself any longer, come before Su Baichen, attempting to stop this incredibly wild human cultivator.

Unlike the fox demons who excel at illusion, the wolf demons are agile and powerful fighters, and even in their human form, they still enjoy...

Huan used his sharp claws to tear his opponent apart.

They excel at dealing with powerful targets, patiently maneuvering against them and eventually wearing them down little by little.

It's like a wolf pack hunting.

But—

Upon seeing the other party, Su Baichen immediately unleashed a "Black Cage" attack!

The transformed wolf demon in front of him immediately froze.

Good heavens, Su Baichen didn't engage in close combat with them at all, but instead used the "Black Cage" to block all their senses!

Wolf demons rely heavily on their noses, and the "Black Cage" can deprive them of their sense of smell as well, making it a very targeted tactic.

"Snap!"

The head of a wolf demon at the Nascent Soul stage was smashed.

There was no other way; Su Baichen's sword technique, which combined illusion magic with numerical values, was simply too overpowered in group battles.

At the same time, the soul banner floating behind him swayed slightly, and the soul of the Nascent Soul wolf demon he had killed was extracted and merged into the soul banner.

At this moment, the resentment of the transformed wolf demon exploded, making it a qualified vengeful spirit within the banner.

This is the quick solution Su Baichen came up with: find a high-level dead soul and absorb its power!

He felt that the demonic cultivators in this cultivation world lacked sophistication and had narrow-minded thinking. They sought out mortals to refine the Myriad Soul Banner, and finding someone among mortals with the aptitude to become a vengeful spirit was almost as difficult as choosing a disciple.

Why go through all that trouble? Why not just kill a few more people with higher cultivation levels?

Those with high cultivation levels who are killed always harbor a sense of resentment and indignation. The higher the cultivation level, the more likely they are to transform into vengeful spirits when they die violently and enter the Ten Thousand Souls Banner—especially demonic cultivators, whose extreme and selfish nature makes them the second best material for vengeful spirits in the world.

As for which one is the best—

Su Baichen shook the Formless Banner again.

Good heavens, all the formless souls from the deadly battlefield have gathered there. The formless banner, which has already collected nearly 70,000 formless souls, is emitting a chilling black aura, looking as if it could destroy the world at any moment.

Just then, another Nascent Soul wolf demon stealthily approached and launched a despicable sneak attack on Su Baichen.

At this moment, Su Baichen was genuinely a little nervous.

His thoughts raced faster than his body could react.

A thick plume of black smoke immediately billowed out from the Formless Banner, enveloping the Nascent Soul wolf demon who had launched the sneak attack.

The wolf demon still wanted to break through the black smoke.

But the next moment it screamed and froze, unable to move.

Because that black smoke represents the most intense resentment.

The resentment rushed into the wolf demon's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and seeped into its body through every pore.

It tried to resist by emanating a bluish-green demonic aura, but no matter how strong the demonic aura was, it was immediately eroded by this resentment.

Then, this resentment began to devour the flesh and soul of the formless wolf demon with madness and greed, eventually leaving only a skin on the ground.

Its soul, however, was carried back into the Banner of No Form by that resentment, becoming one of the vengeful spirits within it.

Good guy!

Su Baichen was dumbfounded. He found that the Formless Banner was just too useful.

With this level of destructive power—no wonder it's said that the true Ten Thousand Souls Banner can even threaten celestial beings.

At this moment, Su Baichen became the most dazzling person in the entire venue.

Behind him fluttered two soul-devouring banners, shrouded in black mist and brimming with murderous intent; he did not look like a benevolent cultivator from a respectable sect at all.

Su Baichen did not continue to attack, but instead let the other disciples of the Yin Sect finish off the attack.

After all, everyone shares mana bars and skills to some extent now, so there's no need for him to always be the first to act.

He simply kept shaking the Soul Banner and the Formless Banner, drawing away the souls one by one, allowing the souls of the Formless Wolf Demons to continue to serve as provisions for the Formless Banner, while the souls of the ordinary wolf demons were all consumed by the Soul Banner.

Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. When these wolf demons decided to interfere in this war between the Dao and the Demon race, which originally belonged to the human race, their fate was no longer worth worrying about.

In about half an hour, the more than three hundred wolf pack members were already scattered and broken.

But at that moment, a message came from the giant ship Changchun hovering overhead.

A sweet-voiced female disciple's voice, amplified, came from above: "Brothers of the Yin Sect, there's another group of ape demons approaching in the distance—"

Shuiyin Ji was now quite agitated. She sneered, "Ape demons? Perfect timing, I haven't killed enough yet!"

Then, she telepathically instructed Feng Linzi behind her, "Allocate more resources to this area!"

Feng Linzi commanded with composure on the battlefield.

The combination of illusion techniques and swordsmanship resulted in high lethality, allowing Yin Sect disciples to demonstrate exceptional combat skills.

Upon hearing this, he immediately knew that something had changed behind him, so he turned to Zhang Qiuzhuo and said, "Junior brother, take thirty people to Junior Brother Bai Chen's place. The pressure there should be greater than here."

Zhang Qiuzhuo agreed.

Thirty people quickly arrived to provide support.

Before Su Baichen could even sense whether any of the ape demons were of the Formless type, Shuiyin Ji had already rushed forward.

No, it should be said that they recklessly charged forward!

In the case of "shared blue bar", unless the number of enemies or their cultivation level far exceeds that of the Yin Sect disciples, it is an extremely unfair thing to do.

Mizuki-hime clearly fell in love with this reckless fighting style.

No wonder sword cultivators are all so brave and fierce; it turns out they're really into it.

Mizuki used the Northern Mountain Frost technique, locking onto a giant ape from afar, and then a thick sword aura swept towards it.

Sigh, she's really getting a bit irritable.

Actually, it wasn't just her; all the Yin Sect disciples seemed to be getting increasingly irritable during the battle.

Su Baichen activated the "Great Black Heaven" illusion spell without any hesitation.

All the apes suddenly went black.

The Formless Ape Demon was plunged into darkness and terror.

Thus, the Yin Sect disciples, without any pause, charged forward again.

Another fierce battle ensued, and nearly half of the attacking ape demons were killed.

Su Baichen made some gains from both the Formless Banner and the Soul Banner, and he found that large-scale events were the best way for him to make his fortune.

Just then, Feng Linzi's voice came from behind: "How's it going? The pressure here is getting pretty high!"

Su Baichen put away the two banners and hurried back, calling out, "Coming, coming, I'm coming right now."

As he passed Zhang Qiuzhuo, he patted Zhang Qiuzhuo on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, there are probably still demons coming. Let everyone rest for a while and don't rush back."

Zhang Qiuzhuo realized what was happening and immediately arranged for everyone to take turns resting.

The battle with the demon race is still unfolding sporadically, but we cannot be careless.

Su Baichen quickly returned to Feng Linzi's side: "Senior brother, I'm here."

Feng Linzi said happily, "It's good that you've come. Master sent a message from below saying that five of the ten elders and four protectors of the Yuan Demon have escaped, and we need to be here to intercept them."

Su Baichen was slightly taken aback, then understood Feng Linzi's meaning—he wanted to use Elder Yuanmo as a stepping stone to fame.

Even though Elder Yuanmo's strength has declined considerably, he is still a well-known and influential figure. If they could rise up by stepping on his head, their reputation in the cultivation world would be completely secured.
