After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Zhang Sanfeng's palm strike was unremarkable, yet the purple-blue qi quietly pierced through the Buddha's Golden Bell protecting the old monk's body. The old monk was terrified and tried to escape, but it was too late. As a result, half of his body was smashed by the palm strike, and his bloody corpse fell from the sky, causing a blood tide.

"You... you actually surpassed the Martial Venerable..."

These were the old monk's last words before his death. He, a peak Martial Venerable, had been killed. He was not on the same level as the old Taoist in front of him. The other party was just using him as a whetstone to test the level of martial arts in this world. If he wanted to kill him, he could only last for a dozen or so moves at most. He definitely couldn't fight for this long.

"died!"

"The Dharma Master of Brahma is dead!"

"Killed with a single palm strike, just what kind of being was that Taoist!"

Zhang Sanfeng's palm strike appeared ordinary, lacking any dazzling brilliance, yet it brought an immense pressure to the world. Even the man in black robes felt a chill run down his spine, muttering, "I can't understand, who exactly is he? His strength is probably comparable to that of the clan elders."

Zhang Sanfeng returned to Chen Futu's side carrying half a corpse. "I have not failed your trust, young master. The bandit leader has been executed."

"here you go."

Chen Futu looked toward the final battlefield, where Xiaobai and the old nun were still locked in a fierce battle.

Zhang Sanfeng wanted to help, but Chen Futu stopped him, saying, "No need, Xiaobai can handle it."

Actually, Xiaobai's condition wasn't good at the moment. It wasn't that she couldn't beat the old nun, but that she had been beaten by the copper-armored corpse and had been contaminated with too much poison. At this moment, her internal organs were being attacked by the poison, and coupled with her lack of martial arts knowledge, she was already at a disadvantage against the old nun.

"The Dharma Master is dead! That despicable Taoist priest!"

The old nun, upon discovering the monk's death, considered fleeing, but Xiaobai clung to her relentlessly, which greatly angered her. Suddenly, she drew a soft sword and slashed at him. Xiaobai hurriedly dodged, but his robe was cut open, and a bloody gash appeared on his chest.

"Little dog, get out of here!"

The old nun glared angrily.

Xiao Bai looked up angrily at her blood-stained half-body, her eyes burning with rage, "You dare to hurt Silly Auntie? Silly Auntie is angry!"

“Shouting and yelling won’t help. You have brute strength but don’t know how to control it. You’re just a lowly disciple.”

The old nun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhang Sanfeng didn't make a move, secretly thinking about how to quickly kill the girl in front of her and escape the battlefield.

"Old woman, again!"

Xiao Bai swung his fist and charged forward, but the nun smiled coldly, thrust out her sword, and with a soft thud, the tip of the sword pierced half an inch into Xiao Bai's chest.

The soft sword in the old nun's hand was a powerful weapon; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to break through Xiaobai's defenses.

Everyone watched this scene with extremely complicated expressions.

The Holy Emperor is too arrogant. Wouldn't it be better to let the old Taoist priest take care of things?

Although the young girl is strong, her martial arts foundation is weak. If she is killed, she will have nowhere to turn for help.

"noob……"

Ge Fei looked up at the battle circle with a sallow face and a worried expression.

Chen Futu remained silent with a sullen face, his tight grip on the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow's hand betraying his thoughts. However, this was also an opportunity for Xiaobai to grow, and he couldn't interfere.

Seeing the worried expressions on their faces, Zhang Sanfeng said, "Xiaobai's skills are sufficient to handle this, but she is too young and still needs to be trained. After we return, I will take her to cultivate."

With Xiaobai's current foundation, she could easily defeat the old nun if she just seriously studied the techniques. However, she was too playful and spent all her time eating and sleeping. She relied entirely on her courage and brute force in battle, and when she encountered some old monsters, her combat experience was completely lacking.

In the ensuing battle, Xiaobai was completely outmatched.

In a short while, she was struck by several swords. Her strength was undeniable; the superficial wounds couldn't kill her, but she looked very disheveled, her small body stained red with blood.

The old nun sneered, "With that little strength, go home and drink your milk!"

"What did you say?" Little White shouted with red eyes. The old nun sneered again, "With your temperament, having a heaven-defying foundation is simply a waste of your talent. Why not surrender and let me turn you into a puppet?"

"You dare to insult Silly Auntie? Silly Auntie will never forgive you!"

Xiao Bai was furious and recklessly pounced on her, continuing to hurl punches wildly, but this time he couldn't even touch the hem of the old nun's robe.

Swish, swish, swish—several more sword strikes followed, and Xiao Bai's injuries worsened.

Finally, the old nun viciously plunged her sword into her lower abdomen, lifting her small body into the sky.

The eerie scene sent chills down everyone's spines, and they were all terrified. "Dead...dead?"

"No way!"

"hehe."

The old nun raised her sword, deliberately lifting Xiaobai high again, and said to Chen Futu in a sinister tone, "Great Sage Emperor, what use is this kind of low-class trash? I will kill her for you, and find a better guard for you in the future. As for her, I will keep her to make puppets."

Chen Futu stared at the old nun's arrogant face, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow squeaking under his fingers, "Little White..."

"Silly girl, you're not useless."

The tiny figure, lifted up by the sword, muttered, its voice trembling with tears.

At that moment, the world fell silent. Everyone heard her murmur. She seemed very sad, her small face covered in tears, "Silly girl isn't useless, she's not..."

The old nun laughed loudly, "Now that things have come to this, what do you have to say? You're too weak. A piece of trash like you with only brute strength is the perfect material for puppet making, so you can die now."

"Silly girl, no, no, no!"

Suddenly, Xiaobai screamed.

With a crack, thunder suddenly roared within a radius of several kilometers, and bolts of lightning gathered in the dark clouds, resembling dragons and snakes in motion.

"Silly Girl isn't useless!"

Xiao Bai's scream caused the mountain to explode. Endless resentment combined with twisted qi spread out from her center, like a massive torrent pressing down. The raging energy impacted the surrounding wilderness, and even Chen Futu and his group, who were so far away, were blown away.

Zhang Sanfeng's expression changed slightly, and he quickly shielded the others to dodge.

"Get out of here!"

"my eyes!"

Some powerful individuals had their eyes or bodies shattered by the sand and gravel swept by the qi, a truly gruesome sight.

"Who can help me!"

"My legs—"

The spectators were in complete chaos. Without a word, the man in black robes quickly grabbed the Peacock King and vanished in a flash.

The group fled a great distance, only to find that the former summer resort had completely vanished, and half of the mountain had collapsed.

Xiao Bai's cries and screams were like a demonic chant, "Waaah, silly girl isn't useless, no, no!"

She went completely berserk simply because the old nun said she was useless and unworthy to be Chen Futu's guard.

Ding!

[An anomaly has been detected in Xiaobai. Host, please personally intervene to calm him down and prevent a bloodbath.]

"What happened to Xiaobai?"

Chen Futu was so startled by the chaotic energy that his hair stood on end.

[A product of a system bug, full of uncontrollable variables; only the host can soothe it.]

"I see."

Chen Futu quickly said to Zhang Sanfeng, "You protect Ge Fei, I'll go check on her."

Having said that, Chen Futu rushed alone into the depths of the smoke-filled ruins.
