Chapter 1004: 551 Chapter 1004: 551 Chen Mobai called Lian Maozhi, who was the first to compete, to his side and gave him a few instructions. Although Lian Maozhi didn’t quite understand, he nodded and stepped onto the stage.

Bai Cai was indeed formidable. Despite relying on his great defensive power from Body Forging, Lian Maozhi fought tenaciously for a long time. But in the end, he was defeated by the ever-changing Rainy Sword Technique.

“Sect Leader, I’ve let you down.”

After being defeated and stepping off the stage, Lian Maozhi said to Chen Mobai with his head lowered.

“No, you’ve excellently completed the task I entrusted to you.”

As Chen Mobai spoke, a pair of clear eyes seemed to outline golden lines within them.

“Yes.”

After hearing this, Lian Maozhi stood back in his original place.

Chen Mobai looked towards the other seven Sect’s Foundation Establishment Practitioners. Logically, everyone was looking up, hoping to be chosen.

Although they knew the odds of winning against Bai Cai were slim, once one lost, they were relieved of psychological burden, and the sooner one lost, the more likely it was to leave an impression on the Sect Leader.

However, Chen Mobai had already arranged the battle order in his mind. According to his estimate, it would take about four people to completely see through Bai Cai’s capabilities, and then Mu Yuan would be the fifth to finish her off with a decisive defeat.

Although Bai Cai had to fight eight, they would still stick to the original plan.

“Niece Ding…”

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s voice, Ding Ying’s body shook, and she immediately stood up, bowing respectfully.

“Once you’re up there, focus on defense as well…”

Chen Mobai used a sound transmission technique to detail to Ding Ying what she had to do and even mentioned the flaws he had spotted in the Rainy Sword Technique during the previous bout, asking her to probe and verify them during the fight.

“Yes, Sect Leader!”

Having heard Chen Mobai’s instructions, Ding Ying nodded quickly, signaling that she had memorized everything and would do her utmost to complete the Sect Leader’s mission.

After taking the stage, Ding Ying was even more earnest than Mu Yuan. She propelled the Longevity Scripture she had cultivated to an unprecedented peak, executing the Spirit Leaf Technique to perfection. Despite looking ragged under Bai Cai’s torrential downpour of Sword Qi, she staunchly held her ground without retreating an inch.

After attacking for three rounds and seeing no way to break through the Spirit Leaf Technique with conventional methods, Bai Cai’s clear eyes shone with a light blue lustre. The Sword Qi then leveled up, transforming into a cerulean Sword Rainbow that soared into the sky, like a Water Blade with a sharp icy edge.

Seeing this, Ding Ying, although her brows furrowed, bit her lip and made a cut on her fingertip. Then, using her blood as ink, she drew a talisman in the void, amplifying the power of the Spirit Leaf Technique to its maximum.

Bai Cai, however, appeared prideful as she directly steered her Water Blade into the heart of the Spirit Leaf Technique.

Determined to slash through her opponent’s strongest shield with her own sword.

But in a place Bai Cai did not see, Ding Ying’s other hand, held behind her back, also squeezed a fingertip, drawing a Clear Wind Talisman.

Amidst the sound of rushing, the Water Blade collided with the Spirit Leaf Technique, sparking off a bright blue-green luster.

At that moment, Ding Ying also released the Clear Wind Talisman she had been gathering behind her back; a gust containing Longevity Spiritual Power surged behind her, howling as it bypassed the center of the clash and swept along the platform in a half-arc, landing beside Bai Cai.

“Hm?”

Bai Cai was slightly surprised, but her realm was high, and in the flow of her Spiritual Power, her slender white hand waved, and another Sword Rainbow emerged. It swirled around her like a vortex, forming an impregnable defense.

The gust of wind slammed into the vortex and dispersed within a few breaths.

At that moment, Ding Ying’s Spirit Leaf Technique was also exhausted and breached by the Water Blade.

Just as Ding Ying was about to be struck down by the pale blue Water Blade, Bai Cai swiftly urged her Spiritual Power, preparing to divert her Sword Rainbow’s trajectory when a point of golden light suddenly flickered on the stage.

A scorching hot stream that made all the cultivators from the Snow-blowing Palace feel a chilling premonition, as if facing their natural enemy, spread out in all directions.

In an instant, Bai Cai’s Water Blade was completely evaporated.

After the threatening Sword Rainbow was annihilated, the point of golden flame also perfectly disappeared.

It seemed that the fire was precisely capable of neutralizing Bai Cai’s Water Blade.

“I intervened in haste, please forgive me, Sect Master Zhu and Niece Bai.”

Chen Mobai apologized somewhat embarrassingly to Zhu Jinyu beside him and Bai Cai on the stage, both of whom were still in the shock and panic from the crazy warning their Spiritual Power had given them as if they had encountered an archenemy.

That golden flame… could it be…

Zhu Jinyu thought of the Extreme Sun Slash that Ancestor Hun Yuan used to freely roam the three realms of the Eastern Wilderness, a technique powerful enough to send a Rank-4 great demon of the Yun Meng Ze fleeing in terror, as it was particularly effective against water and ice attributes.

How could this Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect have advanced his Green Flames Sword Slaughter to “Golden Flame” so soon after achieving Core Formation?!

If it were anyone else, Zhu Jinyu would not believe it.

But she had just personally felt the tremor of her own Spiritual Power. That point of extreme scorching golden flame was undoubtedly a sign of the Red Flame Sword Jue being cultivated to perfection!

Moreover, Chen Mobai had already swept through the Eastern Wilderness with his Green Flames Sword Slaughter during his Foundation Establishment, and after achieving Core Formation, he had the core fire. Perhaps the Divine Wood Sect had some secret technique to rapidly condense the golden flame and various precious Spiritual Objects to aid in its mastery; hence, the attainment of the golden flame was conceivable.
