Chapter 877 (1)  

A brief moment of silence ensued after Jiang Chen's irritated voice rang out, before Bai Longtian nodded his head and replied in a calm manner

''Since brother Jiang is asking for my help, it's only natural for me to lend a hand as well. Besides... I was planning to join this fight even if you didn't say anything.''

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Longtian unsheathed the long white sword from his back and held it tightly with both hands, while a dangerous glint could be seen in his eyes as he stared at 'young master Zhong's' direction. In the next moment, his figure turned into countless particles of light as he suddenly disappeared from the spot he was standing on, leaving behind nothing but a series of afterimages.

Even Liu Mei and Xingyi were momentarily taken aback when they felt the suppressed killing intent that Bai Longtian was now exuding, which was in stark contrast to his usual easy-going personality.

After all, Bai Longtian was usually the most reserved one among them, and the one who would usually try to pacify the others whenever things got too heated. Even when Jiang Chen spoke rudely to him and used words like 'buddhist bastard' and the like, Bai Longtian would simply brush them off with the usual smile on his face and would not pay them any heed.

Thus, it was very, very rare for him to openly exhibit his killing intent like this. However, Liu Mei was only stunned for a brief moment before she nodded her head solemnly and brought both of her hands in front of her chest, as she gathered her qi the moment she regained her senses.

After all, Liu Mei clearly understood, that Bai Longtian didn't choose to avoid any of the fights in the past because he was weak, but simply because that was his normal disposition and the way he acted. The 'Dao of the Buddha' that he cultivated in also played a large part in this matter as well, as Bai Longtian would try to solve most issues peacefully if he could.

However, when it came to his actual strength, Liu Mei knew that Bai Longtian was someone who was actually on par with Jiang Chen. In fact, even Jiang Chen wouldn't confidently say that he could win against Bai Longtian without having to use his bloodline of the 'Demonic Crow of Darkness'.

..

It only took a single moment for Bai Longtian to cover the distance between himself and 'young master Zhong' as he appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, Bai Longtian clutched his long white sword tightly with both hands, before he swung it directly towards the yellow-robed middle-aged man's head!

'Young master Zhong's' expression immediately contorted when he sensed the feeling of lethal danger that was reaching for his neck at a terrifying speed! Although he couldn't sense anything with his soul sense, 'young master Zhong's' instincts were screaming at him to protect himself right away if he didn't want to die! Without any hesitation, the yellow-robed middle-aged man roared as he sent a punch forward without holding back

''Saint middle-grade martial skill, 'Thousand Gales fist'!''

The thick darkness churned and gave way as 'young master Zhong's' powerful fist forcibly pushed it aside, causing even the surrounding space to ripple violently from the terrifying force it carried with it. Naturally, an all-out attack from an early rank 9 Dao King was enough to threaten even a peak rank 9 Dao King who took it unprepared, let alone a middle rank 5 Dao King like Bai Longtian.

Although 'young master Zhong' couldn't sense Bai Longtian's exact location due to the darkness around him, he was still confident in his ability to severely injure him with just the aftershocks of his Saint middle-grade martial skill!

Even if Bai Longtian managed to dodge the majority of his attack, as long as he got even slightly grazed by the aftershocks of it, 'young master Zhong' was confident that he could instantly cripple him! However, the scene that followed was completely outside of 'young master Zhong's' expectations.

*Phsss*

The sound of blood spurting through the air could be heard amidst the violent gales, as Bai Longtian abruptly appeared by the yellow-robed middle-aged man's side in the next moment!

It was also at this same moment that Bai Longtian had finally entered the radius of 'young master Zhong's' soul sense! Although he was still inside Jiang Chen's 'Kingdom of Darkness', as an early rank 9 Dao King, 'young master Zhong' could still use his soul sense to sense the area around him to a certain extent, albeit with a bit of difficulty. However, even though the majority of his soul sense was being suppressed by the 'Kingdom of Darkness', 'young master Zhong' could still use it to sense the area of 3 meters(10ft) around him quite clearly, even through Jiang Chen's all-out suppression!

And yet, the scene that 'young master Zhong' could see right now through his soul sense was enough to leave him utterly stunned, as if he couldn't believe his own eyes!

Bai Longtian's entire body was covered in hundreds of wounds that were dripping with his fresh blood, while even his own robes seemed to have turned into a deep red color.

His arms, legs, chest, and even his face were now buried in wounds as if he had just been cut by hundreds of swords at the same time... but the worst of all was undoubtedly the condition of his left arm!

Deep cuts that were enough to expose his bones could be seen all over it, almost as if his left arm had intentionally taken the brunt of those attacks just now.

And yet, Bai Longtian seemed to have completely ignored the condition of his own body as he stared at the yellow-robed middle-aged man in front of him with a deep look, before he said calmly

''Even the buddha would lose his patience after being attacked again and again without a chance to rest... and I am far less merciful in comparison!''

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Longtian thrust the long white sword in his arms forward while the killing intent that he had been suppressing all this while seemed to have finally burst out as well!

At that moment, bright red flames suddenly engulfed the long white sword in his hands, as Bai Longtian sent it straight towards 'young master Zhong's' heart!

Staring at the scorching red flames that had suddenly engulfed the long white sword in front of him, young master Zhong's eyes narrowed before he spat out a single word

''...Fuck!''
