Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

Chapter 20 The First Glimmer of Starlight

The grand event at the Liu residence did not affect the daily lives of the people of Hengyang.

Huiyanlou was still bustling with activity, the air filled with the aroma of wine and meat. At several tables, people were still boasting about how Bai Li had killed Tian Boguang the day before.

Suddenly, someone pointed out the window and shouted, "Look! What's that?"

The restaurant was bustling with people when suddenly a red light rose from the direction of the Liu residence, shooting straight into the sky as if even the sunlight was being blocked.

"God, a deity has descended to earth?" Some ordinary citizens were extremely excited and knelt down in devout worship.

Some experienced people recognized that this was a peerless master unleashing his full power, their Adam's apple bobbing as they turned and ran out of the building.

The key to navigating the underworld is staying safe and avoiding danger; that's always the first ironclad rule.

A crimson glow enveloped the Liu residence, and qi needles were scattered across the arena. Dongfang Bubai, dressed in flowing red robes, was like a shadow, seemingly intent on crushing everyone present in one fell swoop.

"You're all just waiting to die, make your move!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd roared, jolting everyone awake. They unleashed their most powerful skills, clashing weapons, screams, and cries of agony filling the air.

Clang!

Bai Li held his sword in front of Yue Lingshan, the sword blooming with sword flowers, protecting a one-meter radius around him. His eyes flashed with cold light. This Dongfang Bubai was too reckless.

Before long, the crimson glow dissipated, and most of the people in the arena were injured. Of the three hundred imperial troops who had rushed up to besiege Dongfang Bubai, more than half were killed or wounded, leaving only fifty or so barely clinging to life, collapsing to the ground in a sorry state.

The unlucky Fei Bin was riddled with holes, demonstrating to everyone what it means to have trouble with your words.

The Azure Dragon, which was attacked the most, survived because a person stood in front of him, blocking most of the energy needles for him.

This man was dressed in fine robes and had an untamed air. His hands were as white as jade, and what was most striking were the two long, slender mustaches on his lips. He was none other than Lu Xiaofeng, the Spirit-Rhinoceros Finger.

Lu Xiaofeng placed one hand on Qinglong's shoulder and gently patted it, causing Qinglong to spit out a mouthful of stagnant blood.

Qinglong wiped his mouth and thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Master Lu, for saving my life. I will remember this forever."

Lu Xiaofeng laughed and said, "I was just asked to do this, and it just happened to be the right time."

After exchanging a few polite words, Lu Xiaofeng turned to look at Dongfang Bubai, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Master Dongfang, this killing has been enough. How about we stop for now?"

Dongfang Bubai landed on the rooftop, hands behind his back, eyes slightly raised. "You're Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows. What, you want to get involved in this too?"

Lu Xiaofeng's eyes were serious, and his tone was somewhat helpless: "I hate trouble the most, but I owe someone a favor, so I have no choice but to come. Leader, you are so magnanimous, how about we just call it quits?"

Despite the heavy casualties among the martial arts practitioners present, Dongfang Bubai was asked to be lenient, and no one dared to object.

That's how the martial world works; whoever is stronger is right.

"If you want me to give up, you'll have to see if you have the strength to negotiate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Bubai shattered the tiles under his feet, and the fragments rained down on Lu Xiaofeng like a storm.

Lu Xiaofeng had anticipated that this leader of the Demonic Cult would not be easily dismissed. He moved swiftly and nimbly, like a phoenix spreading its wings, transforming into a rainbow, and instantly appeared in front of Dongfang Bubai. He pointed out with a finger, and white light emanated from his fingertip, which was a manifestation of the condensation of true energy.

"Interesting." Dongfang Bubai's silver needles flowed like a waterfall, ghostly and elusive, each strike aimed directly at the vital points.

The two exchanged blows, their figures covering the courtyard. In the blink of an eye, they fought more than thirty rounds. The surrounding air surged and the wind howled. Many unlucky people were shot to death on the spot by flying shards of stone and blades before they could even react.

For a moment, everyone in the room felt uneasy.

In the central hall, Bai Li flicked away pebbles and muttered under his breath, "Now I finally know how those extras in online novels who were killed by the aftershocks of a big shot actually died."

Suddenly, he caught sight of a broken sword flying rapidly towards Yue Lingshan. Enraged, he thought, "This is never going to end! You think you can bully me just because I haven't shown my power yet?"

Bai Li swung his longsword, lifting the broken sword and drawing an arc in the air. With a flick of his wrist, the broken sword transformed into a streak of black light, shooting towards Dongfang Bubai at three times the speed before, arriving in front of her almost in the blink of an eye.

"Um?"

Dongfang Bubai let out a soft shout, and silver needles shot out like a rain of pear blossoms, forcing Lu Xiaofeng back. He then retreated ten meters away, staring intently into the central hall, his voice cold: "Who is it? Why don't you come out and show yourself?"

Inside the central hall, Yue Lingshan gripped Bai Li's arm tightly, her eyes filled with worry. Bai Li smiled calmly, patted her hand reassuringly, nodded slightly to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, and strode into the courtyard.

Bai Li first greeted Lu Xiaofeng: "Hero Lu, we meet again."

When Lu Xiaofeng saw that the person who came was Bai Li, he was relieved and smiled: "Young Master Bai, the Silver Swordsman, you are even more splendid than before."

Bai Li rolled his eyes. "If we don't talk about this, we can still be friends. Believe me or not, I'll team up with Dongfang Bubai to kill you first."

Too lazy to pay attention to Lu Xiaofeng, Bai Li turned his gaze to Dongfang Bubai and said calmly, "Leader Dongfang, I think Lu Xiaofeng's suggestion was very good. Why don't you just stop here?"

Dongfang Bubai laughed. His laughter was like a beautiful red flower, stunning and arrogant. Did they all think that he was easy to talk to?

Everyone in the courtyard was completely bewildered when they saw Bai Li walk out.

"Isn't that Young Master Bai from the Huashan Sect? He killed Tian Boguang at Huiyan Tower yesterday. What's he doing here? Isn't he just courting death?"

"I don't know, what just happened? Why did Dongfang Bubai suddenly retreat?"

Qinglong, Cao Shaoqin, and Yu Huatian saw Dongfang Bubai dodge a streak of dark light, and their faces were full of confusion. Was that dark light emitted by this kid? How old is he?

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze exchanged glances, wondering when Eleven had met Lu Xiaofeng and what his martial arts skills were all about.

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, a sudden surge of murderous intent rose in the arena, chilling like thorns piercing the back, instantly silencing everyone.

Dongfang Bubai's aura surged, his eyes burned with murderous intent, and the red glow in the sky reappeared, even more intense and fierce than before, almost engulfing the entire Liu mansion.

Everyone's Adam's apples bobbed involuntarily. Seriously?! Again?!

Lu Xiaofeng's fingertips gleamed with a white light like jade blades, ready to support Bai Li at any moment. His martial arts were good at defense but not offense. He had just been beaten by Dongfang Bubai and was powerless to fight back. He wanted to join forces with Bai Li to attack.

He had just taken half a step when Bai Li glanced at him and he froze on the spot. What was going on? Why did he feel that if he took another half step forward, he would be cut down by the sword first?

Bai Li also had his own difficulties. He wasn't a person who cared about his reputation. Who would choose a one-on-one fight when they could gang up on someone? But this new ultimate move had only been incorporated into the instant kill technique and hadn't been tested in reality yet. He wasn't skilled enough and was afraid he might even kill Lu Xiaofeng along with him.

The true energy circulated, enveloping Bai Li's entire body, making her look as radiant as jade.

Bai Li felt a sense of relief throughout her body, as if some kind of shackle had been removed.

This is the ultimate technique he comprehended in the Origin Space, inspired by Gui Mei. The true qi and magnetic field merge, isolating external interference. The sword becomes clear, and there is no resistance in the air. The friction is reduced to the extreme—one sword kills instantly. Part Two.
