Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

Chapter 10 The Ancient Pine Tree Buries Him

In Yu Renhao and Jia Renda's eyes, in the blink of an eye, their three senior brothers were killed by the person in front of them, and they couldn't help but tremble.

The thought of escaping grew wildly in their minds, but their bodies were frozen in place, unable to move. They were extremely anxious. "Damn it, move!"

Bai Li remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the two of them: "Now it's just the two of you. Tell me, who's the extra dog?"

Jia Renda trembled all over, knelt down on the ground, pointed at Yu Renyan, and said in a trembling voice, "Great hero, he is Yu Renhao, and I am nothing. Please, great hero, have mercy on me."

Yu Renhao stared at Jia Renda in disbelief: "Jia Renda, you...?"

He couldn't believe that his junior brother Jia, who had just been full of flattery and fawning, would betray him without batting an eye just to save his own life.

Bai Li watched this scene with feigned interest: "Interesting. I can let you go, but it depends on whether your senior brother is willing to let you go."

Yu Renhao reacted, staring at Jia Renda with venomous eyes. He was used to being arrogant and domineering, so how could he allow someone who betrayed him to live? He drew his long sword and stabbed at Jia Renda.

Jia Renda reacted even faster. With a loud bang, the Thunder God in his hand exploded, and hidden weapons poured out like a fine rain, shooting towards Yu Renhao's face.

At the same time, Jia Renda pushed off the ground with his toes, lunged straight at the wall, touched the wall with the sole of his foot, and jumped over the wall.

Bai Li did not pursue, leaving one alive to send a message to Yu Canghai, so that the scene would be more exciting.

"Damn it!" Yu Renhao's swordsmanship was mediocre. He hastily swung his sword to block, and amidst the clanging of metal against metal, he deflected most of the hidden weapons, but was still hit in the chest by several of them.

That's a unique hidden weapon of the Qingcheng Sect, the Green Bee Nail, coated with a potent poison.

"not good!"

Yu Renhao's face turned pale, and he felt his body begin to go numb. Ignoring everything else, he hurriedly reached into his pocket and pulled out a porcelain bottle containing the antidote pills.

A flash of sword light appeared, and Bai Li flicked his wrist, using the tip of his sword to lift the porcelain bottle, saying, "Tell me all the martial arts you know, and I'll return the antidote to you."

The fear of death had long since overshadowed loyalty to the sect, and Yu Renhao dared not hesitate for a moment. The martial arts belonged to the sect, but his life belonged to himself.

Without hesitation, he revealed all the martial arts he knew: "The Pine Breeze Sword Technique has nine forms, the starting move is Pine Needle Sprouting... the inner technique is... Heart-Shattering Palm, which concentrates internal energy in the palm... Shadowless Illusionary Leg, which focuses on attacking the lower body... Snake-Shaped Leap Technique, which allows for shifting positions and disrupting the opponent's vision... The Nine Strikes of the Azure Character must be combined with Thunder God's Bombardment..."

Yu Renhao spoke rapidly, as if afraid that if he slowed down even a fraction of a second, he would lose his chance of survival.

Bai Li listened quietly, his expression unchanged. He wasn't worried at all about Yu Renyan's fabrications. He could easily find out the truth by questioning any Qingcheng Sect disciple later. Besides, there was Yu Canghai, that living encyclopedia, so there was no worry about not being able to verify it.

After Yu Renhao finished speaking, he stood there, panting heavily.

Bai Li nodded slightly: "Alright, here's the antidote back."

With a slight tremor of the sword tip, the porcelain bottle flew toward Yu Renhao, who was overjoyed and quickly reached out to catch it. He felt a surge of gratitude: this man was actually quite trustworthy and a good person.

Just as he was about to pour out the antidote, Bai Li approached like a shadow, his long sword flashing coldly as it slashed across Yu Renhao's neck.

Yu Renhao's body stiffened, his pupils dilated, and he immediately collapsed and died.

Bai Li twirled his sword, sheathed it, and glanced discreetly at the corner of the courtyard.

With knees slightly bent, he suddenly leaped up, his Huashan lightness skill swift as the clouds and the moon, like a long rainbow heading straight for the outskirts of Fuzhou City.

In the pine forests on the outskirts of Fuzhou, the wind whistles through the trees, creating a rustling sound.

A thousand-year-old pine tree is rooted in the ground, its old trunk gnarled and twisted, its cracked bark covered with moss. Its vigorous branches stretch out in all directions, its emerald needles densely packed, forming a lush canopy.

Bai Li stood beneath the pine tree, sticking a torch into a crevice in the sloping rock. His gaze flickered, as if he were talking to himself: "Come out. You've followed me for so long, it's time to meet you, Second Senior Brother."

"Junior brother, you are truly skilled." A slightly aged voice came from behind.

Lau Denuo walked slowly out of the pine forest, his face full of concern: "I saw my junior brother going out late at night and was worried about your safety, so I followed you. We only hesitated for a moment outside the Fuwei Escort Agency before you had already dealt with the Qingcheng Sect disciples. You truly deserve the title of the best swordsman of our time in Huashan."

Bai Li turned around and calmly said, "Second Senior Brother, what guidance do you have for me?"

Lauderuo's face showed a conflicted expression and a hint of worry: "Eleventh Junior Brother, what you're doing is going against Master's instructions. What should we do?"

Bai Li ignored this, tilting his head to look at the towering ancient pine tree, and asked, "What does Second Senior Brother think of this pine tree?"

Lauder was taken aback. Was this a conversation about pine trees? Though puzzled, he praised, "With age, the roots grow stronger; under the scorching sun, the leaves provide even more shade. This pine has endured countless vicissitudes without falling; it truly possesses a noble spirit."

"If one has integrity, one should also have pride."

Bai Li turned around, his eyes suddenly sharp as knives: "And what about Second Senior Brother? Does he want to die like Song? Or will he live a wretched life like a stray dog?"

"What does Eleventh Junior Brother mean by this?" Lauderuo's heart tightened, and his brows furrowed.

"Second Senior Brother, your role as an inside agent in the Songshan Sect has long been exposed."

Bai Li's lighthearted words struck Lauderuo like thunder.

"My master gave me another task when I went to Fuzhou: to observe your behavior, Second Brother, and then decide whether or not to get rid of you. Unfortunately, you disappointed me."

"This pine tree is the burial place I chose for my second senior brother. It's not a waste of our time as fellow disciples."

Lauder was struck dumb. He had long expected that he would eventually be exposed, but he never anticipated that he would be exposed so suddenly.

"Eleventh Junior Brother, actually I..." Lauderuo lowered his eyes, looking very downcast, and slowly approached Bai Li, as if he wanted to explain something.

The moment he got within three meters of Bai Li, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, I also..."

Stagger! With his longsword drawn, Lauderuo suddenly launched an attack, employing the Huashan sword technique, "White Clouds Emerging from the Mountain Peak," his swordplay agile and graceful, aiming directly at Bai Li's upper body.

Bai Li had been secretly on guard all along; he knew all too well what kind of person Lau Denuo was.

"Good timing."

Bai Li met sword with sword, his swordplay powerful and majestic.

The two swords clashed violently, sparks flying.

Lauder's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise, "The Yangwu Sword Technique!"

I've only learned one set of Huashan sword techniques in three years, while this kid has already learned Yangwu sword techniques in less than a year.

"You biased Yue Buqun."

Lauderuo became increasingly obsessive and ruthless, bringing out the full potential of the Huashan sword technique in terms of danger and speed.

In an instant, the sword flashed.

Bai Li remained calm and composed, unleashing his Yangwu Sword Technique. He focused solely on defense, employing a steady and powerful sword style with considerable staying power.

The two exchanged blows, fighting for dozens of rounds without either gaining the upper hand.

Bai Li pondered to himself that he had already used the One-Sword Instant Kill twice before, which consumed nearly 60% of his internal energy. It would be better to be cautious this time. The Yangwu Sword Technique was just right to deal with the current situation.

As Lauderuo fought, he became increasingly uneasy. Bai Li's Yangwu sword technique became more and more fluid and natural in his battles with him. His moves flowed smoothly and each sword strike precisely blocked Lauderuo's retreat, forcing him to struggle to hold on, with very little room to even catch his breath.
