[You are affected by the Heipeng Town Domain, falling into a state of blindness, unable to use any sprint-type displacement skills with a priority not exceeding (10).]

Bai Pu’s Sandfall Domain was completely crushed by the Heipeng Town Domain, with the slow effect on Youyan Guest being negligible.

Swish!

In the pitch-black curtain, a black demonic blade with half-open and half-closed eyes silently stabbed at Bai Pu from behind.

While blinded, Bai Pu was directly pierced through the shoulder blade by this black demonic blade.

[The ordinary attack of the Supreme Profound Sword Slave dealt 428 points of sharp damage to you.]

[You are affected by the Absorption Mist, losing 600 life value. The Supreme Profound Sword Slave has gained an equivalent life force to sustain its actions.]

With a simple sword, Bai Pu suffered over a thousand points of damage.

Bai Pu, in the Mid-level Spirit Realm, has about five thousand life value, able to endure at most five swords before meeting his end.

If facing a critical hit, perhaps two or three swords would suffice.

The key is this sword also comes with blood sucking, with a horrifying 100% blood sucking conversion rate.

Bai Pu is still blind, an agility-type Lord lurking in the dark, practically at the mercy of the foe.

Just about anyone else would have been scared out of their wits.

However, Bai Pu remained quite composed, swiftly analyzing various scenarios in his mind.

"The Spirit Realm name of Youyan Guest has changed to ’Supreme Profound Sword Slave,’ combining with the status I last saw of him, it should confirm that he’s been ’parasitized’ by the Supreme Profound Sword."

"The Heipeng Town Domain is tantamount to the power of Advanced Spirit Realm Demon God, certainly beyond something Youyan Guest could casually exert, it seems likely to be burning his life force as the energy source."

"Relying on just Youyan Guest’s life force surely isn’t enough, hence the Supreme Profound Sword has the special effect of ’Absorption Mist,’ capable of plundering the opponent’s life force to sustain the power of the demonic sword!"

"The good news is, at this moment Youyan Guest should’ve lost self-control; he won’t dismiss the demonic sword nor think to escape until he kills me."

"Therefore, my best response is... not to get hurt! Not to have my life force plundered!"

"When the demonic sword loses its source of energy, it will be my time to strike back!"

Bai Pu closed his eyes.

Under the Heipeng Town Domain, his Sandfall Domain was almost nullified; he could only rely on his understanding of the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts to sense the vibrations of the surrounding ground, judging the direction of the Youyan Guest’s incoming attack.

Meanwhile, Bai Pu’s Gang Wind Mystical Arts were also exerting full force.

[You must perceive the flow of the wind. The wind has traces to follow, its trajectory compliant with the laws of nature and exudes a unique beauty. When you can perceive the flow of the wind, even with tightly shut eyes, every grass, tree, insect, and bird in the surroundings will be within your perception.]

[When the trajectory of the wind’s flow is clearly understood in your heart, dance with the wind!]

Dongbo Cheng’s former guidance flashed through Bai Pu’s mind.

Swish, the silent black blade once again stabbed forward.

Bai Pu’s movements were illusory, as if dancing with the micro-wind brought by the black blade, spinning half a circle, gracefully evading this sword brilliantly!

After the black blade stabbed out, it did not retract but turned the blade, slashing horizontally.

In Bai Pu’s omnipresent perception, this sword gave him a bizarre feeling.

Ordinarily, it should be the swordsman as the main body, and the sword as the weapon, wielded by a person.

But at this moment, it was the Supreme Profound Sword as the main body, with each stab and slash seeming like the sword body itself was dancing, and Youyan Guest just passively following, providing merely a humanoid stand for the Supreme Profound Sword.

"As expected, the name Supreme Profound Sword Slave is indeed apt... not good!"

This time Bai Pu was distracted, failing to immerse in the "Dancing Wind" state.

His understanding of the "Dancing Wind Mystical Arts" was ultimately still lacking.

Although Bai Pu dodged the Supreme Profound Sword’s attack with the vibrations felt through the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts by stepping back half a step, he was still grazed by the sword tip and suffered over two hundred points of sharp damage again.

This damage was not much of a concern; the crucial issue was the subsequent added damage from the "Absorption Mist," which plundered another 300 life value from Bai Pu!

All this happened while Bai Pu activated his adaptive evolution state against the "Absorption Mist," forcing a 50% damage reduction.

Can’t get hurt anymore.

In Bai Pu’s palm, golden light flashed, and a heavy large shield appeared in his palm.

This was the "The Demon Spider Empress’s Warning" Dark Gold Tower Shield, but when Bai Pu took it out at this moment, it had already transformed into a normal heavy shield style of the Celestial Hero World, with no sense of discord.

This transformation was due to Bai Pu utilizing the "Source Lord’s Descent" method to drop to the Celestial Hero: Jingkang Incident plane, losing many of the characteristics of the Awakened temporarily, resembling more the identity of a native.

Bai Pu’s heavy armor and chainsaw greatsword had automatically transformed into a white robe and ancient greatsword style in the Celestial Hero World, fully fitting his "native" identity.

This transformation does not revert even in a combat state.

With the heavy shield in hand, combined with the vibrations sensed from the Mountain Shattering Mystical Arts, Bai Pu could block the attacks of the Supreme Profound Sword.

Clang, clang!

The sound of clashing metal kept ringing, the durability of the Dark Gold Tower Shield rapidly declining.

However, the Supreme Profound Sword couldn’t hit Bai Pu anymore to cause damage, and the terrifying added effect "Absorption Mist" had no chance to trigger.

Just as Bai Pu anticipated, the "energy source" sustaining the Supreme Profound Sword — life force — is quickly depleting. The Supreme Profound Sword seemed to emit a resonating sound with a beastlike anxious growl.

All of a sudden, the Supreme Profound Sword broke away from Youyan Guest’s right arm with a crack, then split into two, two into four, forming innumerable interwoven black sword shadows, all lunging toward Bai Pu!

Just like a swirling storm.

Ye Zi and Misheng exchanged a glance as they watched from the sidelines.

Due to the barrier of the Heipeng Town Domain, they could only see that "Great Song State Preceptor Bai Yujing" was shrouded in the massive black mist released by Youyan Guest.

The clanging sound from the black mist, along with the resonating sound of the sword blade, continuously echoed, yet the events inside remained unseen.

"Misheng, should we leave?" Ye Zi whispered.

"No! Ye Zi, now is an excellent opportunity. Haven’t you read ancient online game novels? Two major bosses exhausted from battle, the protagonist seizes the chance and wins the divine artifact, rising to prominence!"

Misheng’s eyes lit up, "I’m fed up with this mediocre life. I’m going to stake my fate on this!"

Inside the Heipeng Town Domain.

Facing the endless, storm-like black sword shadows, Bai Pu’s palm shield abruptly split, transforming into pieces of fine armor plates embedded across various body parts.

Demon Power Release - Protector special effect!

Bai Pu essentially equipped himself with the block effect of the Dark Gold Shield, capable of converting sharp damage into 10% shock damage.

The "Steel Skin" active skill triggered, granting a fixed 36 points of physical damage reduction.

Simultaneously, Bai Pu also activated the "Ancestral Protection" skill of the Immortal King four-piece set, gaining another 50% damage reduction!
