Bai Bo's expression did not show much panic. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face at this moment.
If a few random Tribulation Transcendence cultivators could truly suppress the Eight Great Celestial Demons completely,
then the demons of that era would have been driven to extinction long ago.
There were few Tribulation Transcendence cultivators in the world, and only a handful of them were truly famous across the realm.
The Buddhist sect had so many Buddhas, all at Tribulation Transcendence cultivation, but how many people actually remembered their names?
Only a reputation earned through combat would make people truly remember.
Bai Bo soared into the air, and the rejection sensation on him instantly faded. As expected, a technique that could affect a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator could not be maintained for long.
His figure leapt past Huang Miao and looked directly at Chu Xingchen, who had not spoken a single word until now, his expression extremely grave.
Over these days, even if Bai Bo hadn't been listening, his ears had long been filled with Xu Linglong's calculating voice.
Bai Bo didn't know whether it was advice or mockery aimed at himself.
Chu Xingchen's level of talking was about the same as his level of fighting—fiercely aggressive.
With your kind of pride, don't act on your own. Whatever Chu Xingchen says, you agree to it. Don't get provoked by a couple of words and throw your life away.
But at this moment, Chu Xingchen remained silent.
When things were abnormal, there had to be something wrong.
Bai Bo grasped a slightly rusted black gilded long spear in his hand, pointed it at Huang Miao, and simultaneously sent a voice transmission to Xu Linglong in the distance: "Something's wrong. It's an ambush. Should we retreat?"
Huang Miao's expression was contemptuous. In the blink of an eye, his figure vanished into thin air.
He reappeared directly in front of Bai Bo, his long sword pressing down horizontally.
A sword cry rang through the heavens.
Across the entire sky, even the moonlight seemed to lose its brilliance.
An extremely dazzling spiritual pressure and spiritual light tore through mountains and split the earth.
And this sword strike was only the opening move, not the end.
Every sword strike Huang Miao followed up with was the same.
The spiritual light was unbroken, and the spiritual pressure was so intense it nearly erased all sound.
Only at an extremely far distance could earth-shaking sounds be heard.
Chu Xingchen stood behind Bai Xuanling, watching Huang Miao throw his ultimate moves like normal attacks.
He could only say one thing—Tribulation Transcendence cultivators were truly domineering.
Sword intent surged like waves, each move transforming the landscape of this place.
And in the gaps between each move, even Chu Xingchen found it difficult to fully track them.
For no other reason—they were too fast.
What was the difference between this and being able to cast full-screen ultimate moves continuously?
Huang Miao fought with increasing ferocity, directly forcing Bai Bo high into the sky. Looking across all of Yuzhou City, it was illuminated by spiritual power as bright as day, a clear sky for ten thousand li.
The once-bright moon now appeared extremely dim.
Chu Xingchen's breathing was slightly rapid. His gaze shifted toward Xu Linglong's direction, from where cold arrows were being fired.
The Tribulation Transcendence cultivator responsible for blocking her was only at the mid-stage of Tribulation Transcendence, and was quickly falling into a disadvantage against Xu Linglong.
To make this fox unwilling to give up the meat at her mouth, what you had to do was put the meat right within reach.
In terms of direct combat strength at this moment, it was actually Chu Xingchen's side that was at a disadvantage.
But… in a situation like this, Xu Linglong probably wouldn't stay much longer to make a desperate last stand.
After all, even Chu Xingchen himself didn't believe that with Tribulation Transcendence guards deployed, and even Huang Miao called in, they wouldn't have called a few more Tribulation Transcendence cultivators as well.
It was just that the grand formation still needed some more time.
If the formation didn't activate and lock these Celestial Demons in place,
with cultivation around the peak of Tribulation Transcendence, if they wanted to run… they could truly just run whenever they wanted.
"Too many people have come. Cover my retreat."
Chu Xingchen's voice was soft, barely audible as he spoke beside Bai Xuanling.
Bai Xuanling nodded lightly and decisively moved to protect Chu Xingchen, heading outward.
Chu Xingchen looked up again at Bai Bo, who was fighting Huang Miao, and was about to turn and leave.
But in the next moment, Bai Xuanling's figure stopped. Her spirit sword turned pure white and thrust forward.
A black origin arrow pierced through, its momentum boundless.
Bai Xuanling's long sword accurately blocked the origin arrow shooting through.
Two energies capable of devouring the heavens and earth began to clash frantically, crushing everything that got caught in between.
Only then did Xu Linglong's angry shout follow: "Go all out!"
Chu Xingchen's retreating figure moved even faster.
Hearing these words, Bai Bo's previously defensive stance also changed. His long spear swung fiercely, emitting a crimson-black light and pulling out a trail of destructive aura, briefly forcing back the pressing Huang Miao.
It also gave Bai Bo a moment to catch his breath, and with this breath, it was enough.
Bai Bo's previously somewhat human figure completely broke down. Four more arms extended from his waist, his two eyes became four, and his figure grew several times larger in an instant.
The armor on his body also melted entirely, quickly transforming into black inscriptions carved onto Bai Bo's body.
Bai Bo's black hair transformed into flowing black energy, and his aura instantly grew heavier.
His right hand gripped the enlarged long spear again, while his other hands manifested weapons as well—four hands, four weapons.
Bai Bo was skilled in combat.
A skilled warrior does not accept humiliation.
His figure had always been far from a true human appearance, because for a skilled warrior, imitating the weak to survive was itself the greatest insult.
Bai Bo's face bore several scars. With his cultivation and abilities, he could certainly erase these scars. But the enemies who had left scars on his face—
those were worthy opponents deserving of respect.
To fight such masters and take their lives—
for Bai Bo, that was glory.
Bai Bo's face showed the most genuine smile he had displayed in who knew how long. His long spear pointed directly at Huang Miao, and his voice roared: "Come! Kill me!"
Then, a charming figure came from the direction where Xu Linglong had been firing cold arrows.
Xu Linglong was no longer in her beautiful appearance. Instead, horns grew from her head, her expression was cold, her appearance neither fully human nor fully something else, yet it made people feel she was beautiful. She gripped a pitch-black long bow tightly in her hand.
Her once-flowing hair had now transformed into crimson energy, drifting in the air.
She drew her bow.
Aimed at Chu Xingchen, she loosed another arrow.
Zhong Su and Chi Guo also responded in turn, each transforming into their true forms, forcing back the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators entangled with them, and charging straight at Chu Xingchen.
How could the Eight Great Celestial Demons be in human form?
And how could human form be their strongest appearance?
Bai Xuanling narrowed her eyes slightly. Her gaze swept sideways. Without asking whether Chu Xingchen was ready, her hand gripping the spirit sword already had faint traces of crimson energy leaking out.
"Don't rush."
Chu Xingchen suddenly spoke, causing Bai Xuanling's movements to pause.
"Hoo…" Chu Xingchen exhaled heavily, his gaze fixed on the four Celestial Demons charging toward him with terrifying momentum.
To be honest…
Chu Xingchen had indeed underestimated them slightly.
With the four Celestial Demons closing in, their divine sense locked directly onto him, his divine sense had long since overloaded.
The scent of death and fear had also touched his body.
He had thought he was prepared. But when truly facing it—
Chu Xingchen realized that he was actually still a little afraid. However, he had no intention of retreating.
Facing that oppressive aura, Chu Xingchen shouted loudly: "Formation, activate!"
As his words fell.
Several beams of spiritual light shot up from the ground, which was now full of trenches and unrecognizable from its original state.
The deep pool, which had long been blasted away, was now just a small ditch.
And an even more earth-shaking spiritual power rose.
Supporting an enormous grand formation, spiritual light circulated, surrounding all four Celestial Demons completely.
Chu Xingchen looked at Xu Linglong, who was charging straight at him, and suddenly grinned: "I give you the chance to push your luck, and you actually take it?"
