Eternal Life from the Golden Needle Technique

Chapter 548: Chapter 71: Forceful Intervention (Part 2)

Bai Yusheng’s expression turned grim and uncertain.

He wasn’t sure if Chen Lingfeng would keep his word after seizing the item.

Although they had intended to form an alliance,

in reality,

Bai Yusheng had no way of forcing him to honor their pact.

After he got the item,

’would he just take it and run, or would he share it? And even if he did share, there was only one Jade Platform. How would they divide the spoils in the end?’

There was no way to know.

But as the Bai Family’s prodigy of the next generation,

Bai Yusheng was a decisive man.

’If I keep dragging this out,’

’more and more people will show up.’

’There might even be some old monsters who’ve been in seclusion for years—cultivators at the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Peak, hoping to break through to the Divine Travel Realm here.’

’The more competitors there are,’

’the more dire the situation will become!’

’Overthinking this...’

’hesitation will only lead to defeat!’

And so,

within a few short breaths, he made his decision.

”Alright. Do it!”

As the words registered in Chen Lingfeng’s ears,

at that very moment,

Bai Yusheng erupted with a terrifying aura, giving no warning whatsoever!

A dazzling light illuminated half the sky as a colossal, mountain-like figure materialized around Bai Yusheng!

The figure’s face, with its white hair and beard, was faintly discernible—it was none other than the Bai Family’s Supreme Ancestor!

It was his ultimate trump card for protection—

a Jade Talisman from the Bai Family’s Supreme Ancestor, sealing a single strike at the Divine Travel Realm level!

The power of the Divine Travel Realm burst forth.

In an instant,

its immense might overwhelmed even the chaotic battle raging across the land!

The auras of everyone present faltered,

Some of the weaker prodigies felt their blood run cold, frozen in place and unable to move a muscle!

Across from Bai Yusheng,

the instant Bai Yusheng unleashed that terrifying Divine Travel Realm aura, Nangong Yunfan jolted. He used some unknown technique and, as if teleporting, instantly reappeared hundreds of yards away!

’What is that guy thinking?! Using his trump card so early?’

A look of terror lingered on Nangong Yunfan’s face. His gaze flickered uncertainly as he stared at Bai Yusheng, who was hundreds of yards away, now enveloped by the spectral figure.

’A casual strike from a Divine Travel Realm expert isn’t worth much,’

’but a Jade Talisman or Decree that can seal that power for use in battle is incredibly precious!’

’Items like that aren’t easy to create.’

’Not only do they drain a significant amount of a Divine Travel Realm ancestor’s energy, but the crafting materials are also prohibitively expensive. It’s impossible to make many of them.’

’Therefore, even the most outstanding scion of a direct lineage would, at most, possess one or two as a final, life-saving trump card.’

’Any more than that is impossible.’

’Something so precious,’

’must naturally be used with the utmost caution!’

’It shouldn’t be used lightly unless there’s no other choice.’

’But now...’

’what’s wrong with Bai Yusheng?’

’The battle hasn’t even been decided,’

’and he’s already played his trump card?’

While Nangong Yunfan was still reeling with shock and suspicion,

he saw the spectral image of the Bai Family’s ancestor behind Bai Yusheng thrust its palm forward. A supreme power surged into the highest heavens, enveloping the world and void alike. It stirred the very firmament, finally coalescing into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky and slammed down!

The immense, boundless pressure of that aura instilled a deep, instinctual terror in everyone present—a fear that left them feeling completely helpless!

However,

to Nangong Yunfan’s astonishment and confusion,

the palm wasn’t falling toward him.

Instead, it was aimed at another part of the battlefield, where a dozen or so people were fighting!

”Bai Yusheng, you son of a bitch!”

”Fuck! A Divine Travel Realm attack! Run!”

The prodigies caught under the sky-blotting hand either detonated their Spiritual Artifacts, used precious Escape Talismans, or activated some Secret Technique...

Using every means at their disposal, they transformed into streaks of light and fled in all directions!

In an instant, the dozen or so Outer Realm prodigies who had been besieging Chen Lingfeng scattered like startled animals.

And at that moment,

Chen Lingfeng did not disappoint.

He seized the opportunity. His figure shot out like a bolt of lightning.

He charged straight for the Jade Platform at the center of the valley!

”Not good!”

This scene,

was witnessed by nearly everyone!

The hearts of the surrounding prodigies, who had been watching in stunned silence, skipped a beat.

But they reacted in the next instant,

fury rising in their hearts.

’We’ve been played!’

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Reacting in an instant, they unleashed a barrage of terrifyingly powerful attacks at Chen Lingfeng, who was making a run for it!

Several others shot forward like lightning, unleashing deadly killing blows to intercept him mid-flight!

However,

Bai Yusheng and his followers on the other side did not stand by idly.

Under the control of the towering spectral figure, the sky-blotting hand that had been slamming downward suddenly shifted, transforming into an indestructible wall behind Chen Lingfeng!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...

The Magical Attacks bombarding it from all directions struck the ”giant wall” that seemed to span heaven and earth, shattering on impact without causing so much as a ripple!

In that one move,

it blocked over ninety percent of the combined assault!

But that wasn’t all.

Behind Bai Yusheng, his followers—already alerted by a voice transmission—were surprised by their leader’s choice but still faithfully executed his orders.

They charged forward,

cutting through the air to intercept the Cultivators attacking Chen Lingfeng!

A series of explosions

erupted once more,

kicking up a terrible storm of Magical Power.

It all happened in a flash.

In the brief moment that Bai Yusheng and his followers bought him, Chen Lingfeng had already reached the center of the valley. With one punch, he shattered the remnants of the Array in his path and, with a grasping motion, snatched the massive Jade Platform into his Storage Bag!

Then,

without a moment’s hesitation,

RIP!

A Talisman shimmering with a soft luminescence had appeared in his hand at some point, and he abruptly tore it in half.

Instantly,

an indescribable Abnormal Power enveloped him, and his entire body was shrouded in a blue glow.

Immediately after,

Chen Lingfeng shot toward the heavens at a blinding speed!

His speed was so incredible,

it was on par with that of a Divine Travel Realm expert!

In fact, no one had even had time to react yet.

”Haha, many thanks for your help, Brother Bai! I’ll be on my way! We’ll be in touch!”

As his hearty laughter echoed across the sky,

Chen Lingfeng was about to vanish over the horizon.

Just then,

outside the valley,

Shen Changchuan and Nangong City were flying in.

”Hm? What’s going on?”

A figure moving at a terrifying speed was hurtling straight toward him like a gray bolt of lightning!

Shen Changchuan froze for a second.

’Something feels wrong.’

”You’re courting death! Get out of my way!”

The approaching figure roared,

and Shen Changchuan felt a chilling killing intent and a powerful aura explode from him.

In a flash, the figure was upon him, ready to strike!

Shen Changchuan’s heart leaped in alarm.

’Though I don’t know what’s going on,’

’when someone’s trying to kill me, I’m not just going to stand here and take it.’

But just as he prepared to block the attack and counter,

the situation changed once again!
