Chapter 163 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (32)

The giant snake nodded once more, lowering its head to signal for Bai Tang to sit on its back.

Bai Tang smiled and ascended. “Would you like me to give you a name?”

The giant snake’s tail lightly tapped against the cliff in agreement.

After a brief contemplation, Bai Tang suggested, “Jiesheng. It means ‘survivor after calamity,’ hoping you can peacefully weather through the heavenly tribulation.”

It was a rare moment for Bai Tang to give a name with such solemnity.

System 168 cautiously probed, sensing no apparent restrictions. At that moment, a message appeared on the system panel.

In the previous world, mission completed?!

Why did it only show now? Another mission completed?

Just after testing it, layers of spiritual energy enveloped System 168. It felt trapped within an impenetrable web and hurriedly surrendered, fearing that Bai Tang would once again destroy its core data.

“Bai Tang, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have thought about escaping.”

Bai Tang retorted coldly, “Little system, behave yourself. This big sister’s patience is not limitless.”

If it weren’t for the two girls the system had lured into doing tasks and then abandoned, Bai Tang would have dismantled it long ago, thoroughly erasing it.

The giant snake moved swiftly. Bai Tang stood firmly on its head without any swaying. As they neared the cliff’s top, Bai Tang commanded, “Jiesheng, stop.”

Immediately, Jiesheng came to a halt, and Bai Tang explained, “There might be a troublesome thing waiting for me above. You can’t reveal yourself for now. Once we both leave, you can come out. Remember, be cautious and try to go to places where beautiful women gather. I’ll call your name when I need you.”

Bai Tang didn’t want Jiesheng to be seen by Qi Jiayan. Otherwise, Qi Jiayan would be a lot more wary if he wanted to attack her.

Bai Tang wielded dual blades, extending her arms and utilizing Lightness Skill to soar upward.

As soon as Bai Tang departed, Jiesheng immediately turned and descended, concealing its giant form within the swirling mist.

When Bai Tang reappeared with a smiling face, almost everyone’s eyes lit up.

The woman in the green dress descended against the light, wielding dual blades, radiantly beautiful and charming.

Weng Quan dropped what he held and hurriedly approached, “Female Hero Bai, as long as you’re unharmed.”

Bai Tang effortlessly turned, avoiding Weng Quan with a casual sidestep and giving him a helpful pull to prevent a stumble.

Tantai Ziheng was still here, his eyes clouded with disbelief. It seemed he truly hadn’t expected Bai Tang to return alive from the Narrow Heaven unscathed.

Qi Jiayan’s sharp hand swung fiercely, unleashing hidden weapons in unison.

Bai Tang’s gaze instantly became sharp, swiftly pulling Tantai Ziheng towards her. Her dual blades rotated between her hands, creating an impenetrable barrier, denying the concealed weapons any opportunity.

Bai Tang chuckled softly, “Young Villa Master Tantai, what are you standing there for? Do you wish to die at the hands of the Blood Devil Cult?”

Tantai Ziheng snapped back to reality, hastily raising his sword to block.

Hidden in the shadows, Qi Jiayan pulled back a poisoned bowstring, aimed, and shot. Immediately stringing another three arrows, he fired.

Bai Tang executed a somersault, plunging one blade into the ground. Her free hand deftly caught an incoming arrow, and with a spin, she hurled it back. The two arrows clashed in mid-air, splitting into two, deflecting two more closely-following arrows. Catching the returned arrow, Bai Tang somersaulted again and tossed it back.

Qi Jiayan’s internal energy was formidable, these two arrows scraped Bai Tang’s palm that just barely healed from the previous injury.

The arrow returned by Bai Tang moved faster and with greater force. Qi Jiayan swiftly pulled a disciples from beside him, using him as a shield to block the arrow.

Bai Tang, wielding dual blades, approached, delivering two simultaneous slashes.

She taunted, “The Venerable Lord even attacks his own people, truly impressive!”

Qi Jiayan quickly evaded, drew his sword to counter, and hoarsely shouted, “Retreat!”

He wasn’t a match for Bai Tang yet, it seemed he needed to absorb more internal energy from others.

“Thinking of retreating so soon? Not that easy!”

Bai Tang pursued Qi Jiayan, intentionally pressuring him to leave the area.
