At the critical moment, a figure suddenly appeared below.
Whoosh—
A flash of cold light split the terrifying energy in half, dispersing it instantly.
"Who?!"
Xiao Ranbing's eyes widened in shock. His powerful energy had been slashed and dissipated in an instant, as if by a weapon! This kind of strength could only be achieved by someone at the Saint level or higher!
Upon closer inspection, a man appeared in front of Ye Longcang and the others.
The man wielded a long sword, radiating an ominous, murderous aura. It looked incredibly terrifying.
"So, there's a hidden ally after all."
Xiao Ranbing squinted his eyes.
"Who are you?"
He took a few steps forward, his eyes fixed on the newly appeared Baili Changqing.
He extended his perception, trying to sense Baili Changqing's strength.
Martial Saint.
He could clearly feel that Baili Changqing was at the Martial Saint level.
But a Martial Saint wasn't terrifying.
For him, killing a Martial Saint wasn't difficult.
What made him uneasy was the sword in Baili Changqing's hand.
He could clearly sense that this sword was extraordinary.
It carried an overwhelmingly frightening aura.
Even he felt a trace of fear.
How was that possible?!
How could a weapon make him feel fear?!
"I'm taking them with me."
Baili Changqing pointed his sword, Jimié, at Xiao Ranbing as he spoke calmly.
"Oh?"
"You think you can protect them with just your strength?"
Hearing Baili Changqing's words, Xiao Ranbing sneered.
He was the strongest Martial Saint; no one could be his match!
"Yes."
"No one can stop me."
Baili Changqing replied just as calmly.
As his words fell, the Amplification Domain and Hell Cross Formation were simultaneously unleashed.
In an instant, his strength surged!
Whoosh—
Without waiting for Xiao Ranbing to attack, Baili Changqing charged forward!
So fast!
Xiao Ranbing's pupils contracted slightly as he witnessed this.
At the same moment, he swung his own sword to counter the attack!
Clang—
The collision of their weapons created an earth-shattering sound.
The powerful shockwaves generated by the clash caused a terrifying windstorm to erupt.
The surrounding martial artists instinctively raised their arms to shield their eyes from the dust and debris blown toward them.
"Hmm?!"
"This guy's weapon... doesn't seem like an ordinary S-class weapon."
Ye Fan, observing the battle, noticed something unusual and was slightly surprised.
It seemed to be... an SS-class weapon!
"Yours is SS-class too?!"
As Xiao Ranbing engaged Baili Changqing, he realized that Baili Changqing's sword, Jimié, was no ordinary blade.
"No wonder it has such a powerful aura."
"Interesting."
Xiao Ranbing grinned wickedly and resumed his frenzied attacks with his sword!
Baili Changqing remained composed, countering Xiao Ranbing's attacks with equal ferocity using his sword Jimié.
Clang, clang, clang—
The crowd could barely see the figures of the two combatants. All they could perceive were flashes of cold light and the deafening clash of weapons.
Boom, boom—
The ground around them shattered due to the sword energy released by their strikes.
After several intense exchanges, the two combatants returned to their respective positions.
"Damn!"
A closer look revealed a wound on Xiao Ranbing's cheek.
A drop of blood slowly trickled down.
Though the wound wasn't deep, it was humiliating for Xiao Ranbing.
He had never been injured while killing other Martial Saints.
At the same time, Baili Changqing's expression turned grim.
A wound had appeared on his shoulder, blood seeping through and staining his clothes.
Seeing this, Ye Yaar clenched her teeth, her eyes full of worry and pain.
However, she knew she couldn't act.
Her involvement would only be a burden to Baili Changqing.
"Hahaha, your strength is commendable, but compared to mine, you're still a tier below!"
Xiao Ranbing laughed loudly.
"Your domain power must be an Amplification Domain, right?"
"My domain power is also an Amplification Domain!"
Xiao Ranbing laughed again.
With a single thought, his body erupted with a massive amount of purple energy!
The purple energy spread and covered the ground in the next moment!
Domain expansion!
The domain markings were strikingly similar to Baili Changqing's.
It was clear that both had mastered the same domain power!
Baili Changqing's expression changed slightly.
The Amplification Domain could increase the power and speed of martial artists within its range.
Earlier, with his domain and the Hell Cross Formation from Jimié, Baili Changqing had barely managed to keep up with Xiao Ranbing.
But now that Xiao Ranbing had activated his own domain, defeating him would become incredibly difficult!
"Die!"
Without wasting any words, Xiao Ranbing moved like a flash and instantly appeared in front of Baili Changqing.
Clang, clang, clang—
His sword strikes were ruthless and relentless.
Baili Changqing had no chance to counterattack.
He could only use his sword to block each of Xiao Ranbing's attacks.
"Changqing..."
Ye Yaar clenched her hands tightly.
Ye Longcang, watching from the sidelines, also turned his gaze toward them.
Who was this man?
He could actually fight Xiao Ranbing and not be completely overpowered.
However, Xiao Ranbing's strength was indeed formidable, even among Martial Saints.
And with Baili Changqing's shoulder wounded, continuing to fight would be extremely disadvantageous for him!
Baili Changqing was also keenly aware of this.
In that moment, he activated his Bloodthirsty Frenzy skill!
As soon as the skill was unleashed, it consumed a significant amount of his blood essence.
His entire body erupted with a terrifyingly immense power!
Boom—
Baili Changqing felt as if his entire being was now filled with boundless energy!
Ah!!!
He roared inwardly and, in the next instant, stopped merely defending against Xiao Ranbing's strikes. Instead, he clashed head-on with his sword!
Boom—
A surge of terrifying power burst forth from Jimié.
Xiao Ranbing's eyes widened in shock.
What... was this power?!
