Not far away, Wei Guang and the bewitching woman looked on in astonishment.
Jiang Xiaobai’s survival ability was exceptionally robust, he didn’t die even after being hit twice in the late stages of Transcendence!
“This boy cannot be spared. He’s horrifyingly talented. If we give him time to grow, it’ll be our end.” Wei Guang muttered as he watched Jiang Xiaobai.
The bewitching woman also frowned, unable to resist tightly clutching her whip.
She had an unknown hobby.
It was the torture of supposedly gifted individuals. While tormenting them, she felt an unimaginable pleasure.
“No need to hold back anymore, everyone attack.”
The bewitching woman coldly said while an eager, sickly smile appeared on her face, “Remember, alive.’
Immediately, the few remaining late-Transcendence individuals sprung into action, charging towards Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai, who was desperately fending off two late-Transcendence individuals, nearly cursed out loud.
“I’m already like this, and you still want to be so fierce? Have you abandoned your humanity?”
Jiang Xiaobai roared, swinging his sword to block the incoming attacks while continuously retreating.
Jiang Xiaobai was constantly checking the system page.
It showed a countdown of five minutes to the battle, now it only had less than twenty seconds left.
“As long as I hold on for these twenty seconds, I can run!”
Jiang Xiaobai gritted his teeth, enduring the fight. He could have withstood it, but seeing the incoming late-stage Transcendence achievers, he couldn’t help himself.
If he didn’t find a way out, let alone twenty seconds, even two seconds would be dreamlike. Re𝒂d updated st𝒐ries at n𝒐velbin(.)com
“Take this!”
“Die!”
Jiang Xiaobai shouted, and instead of retreating against the late-stage Transcendents, he advanced, his acquired Sky Spirit sword fiercely stabbing out.
Exchanging injury for injury!
The one in front of Jiang Xiaobai was terrified as Jiang Xiaobai charged fearlessly at him.
He knew just how savage Jiang Xiaobai’s sword was, piercing through late-stage Transcendence protective qi as easily as paper.
At this point, Jiang Xiaobai was undoubtedly doomed. Exchanging injury for injury was clearly unwise. The man immediately retreated.
But this slight retreat gave Jiang Xiaobai an opportunity!
He increased his speed and disappeared in an instant, going straight through these two guys and heading towards the incoming late-stage Transcendence powerhouses.
Those who had rushed from behind were all dumbfounded.
They had seen someone rushing home to embrace their wife, but they had never seen someone rushing to embrace death like this.
Immediately, several of them exclaimed, “What good fortune is this?”
However, just when they thought they could completely control Jiang Xiaobai, a heart-throbbing heat wave centered on Jiang Xiaobai burst out.
In an instant, pitch-black flames spread in the air.
Jiang Xiaobai was right in the center of the encirclement, surrounded by people who were rushing at him. As soon as the pitch-black flames exploded, those guys couldn’t react.
The flames covered everyone immediately.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Piercing screams were heard from the fire as those attacking Jiang Xiaobai retreated. One unlucky fellow was rather miserable as his arm was set on fire by flames.
He tried to put out the flames, but couldn’t. Furthermore, the flames kept spreading upwards. If this continued, it wouldn’t just be his arm burning, his entire body would be engulfed by these eerie black flames.
In the blink of an eye, someone chopped off his arm to stop the spread of the fire.
This was the Heavenly Artisan’s Fire!
It goes without saying that its power was formidable. Once contaminated, unless one cut off their limbs, the fire couldn’t be put out.
This was also Jiang Xiaobai’s final trump card.
He knew from when he obtained the Heavenly Artisan’s Fire that he would one day use it in battle. However, he didn’t expect his strength to still be too low, unable to bring out the full force of the flames.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Artisan’s Fire came quickly and left quickly, lasting only an instant.
If it could have lasted one or two seconds longer, Jiang Xiaobai was sure he would have been able to keep all these guys here instead of just injuring one man and leaving the rest relatively unharmed.
Now, Jiang Xiaobai was completely surrounded, with late-Transcendence achievers on all sides.
However, those powerhouses did not take action immediately, after all, they were frightened by the sudden outbreak of the eerie flames’ formidable power.
If they charged up and Jiang Xiaobai pulled the same trick again, then their losses would outweigh their gains.
However, what they didn’t know was that Jiang Xiaobai was almost out of spiritual power at this point. To activate such a large force of Heavenly Artisan’s Fire, the consumption of his spirit energy was almost equivalent to activating the Pagoda once.
Jiang Xiaobai felt dizzy, his body swaying.
But he couldn’t fall down, if he did, it would be all over.
At the same time, Jiang Xiaobai was looking at the countdown on the system interface, feeling somewhat helpless as he looked at the number.
Just now, all those maneuvers only delayed him for ten seconds, and he still had ten seconds left!
Ten seconds!
Normally, it takes a few breaths, but now, it’s about his life!
“Don’t just stand there, he’s drained of spiritual power, hurry up and take him down!” The bewitching woman’s angry roar came from behind.
The black flames from before had also shocked her.
Although she was far away, she could still feel its terrifying temperature and could even imagine the tragic outcome if the flames stuck to her.
At her command, several people rushed toward Jiang Xiaobai in an encircling formation, radiating terrifying murderous intent and vowing to cut down Jiang Xiaobai.
Eight seconds!
Jiang Xiaobai silently counted in his heart as he stuffed a big handful of pills into his mouth. Soon after, he focused on the man who had lost his arm and charged at him without a care in the world.
Being besieged, he had to aim for a spot to breakthrough, otherwise, there was no chance.
The man, already severely injured and missing a hand, was his only way out!
And that man was also full of resentment towards Jiang Xiaobai. He had lost an arm, and his grudge was now irreconcilable!
“Kid, go to hell!”
The man swung his right hand, the one that remained, and aimed a heavy blow at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Ahhhhhh!”
Similarly, Jiang Xiaobai roared and raised his Acquired Spirit Sword, fiercely slashing downwards.
Seven seconds!
At the same time, the collision of ice and blade didn’t produce the expected sound of metal clashing. The man’s long knife was cut open by Jiang Xiaobai’s sword as easily as paper, but that was all he managed.
There were many strategies at late Transcendence, after all, Jiang Xiaobai had lost due to lack of depth. He hadn’t inflicted any real damage.
But because of the man’s deflection, Jiang Xiaobai had bought one second!
Only six seconds left!
“Hmph, all your struggles are in vain!”
At this moment, a cold voice sounded from behind. Jiang Xiaobai felt a chill, his body felt as if he had plunged into an ice cave, the cold piercing. A sword light broke through the air, heading right towards Jiang Xiaobai’s heart..
