Reversing the Milky Way

Xuan Chenfeng nodded in satisfaction as he watched his son's performance, and then he went to Xuan Taiming's side.

"Not bad. Judging from this attack, you're almost at the threshold of the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm."

Hearing his father's praise, Xuan Taiming couldn't help but feel proud.

At this moment, Bai Cheng was embedded in the ground at the bottom of the ravine due to the enormous force of the slash. Although he blocked Xuan Taiming's attack, one-tenth of the spiritual power of the fragment was directly consumed.

Bai Cheng's spiritual energy was now depleted, and the fragments of spiritual energy were down to only 20%. At this point, about 45 minutes had passed.

'It should be about time; the helpers should be arriving soon.'

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng awkwardly crawled out of the soil, then leaped out of the ditch. He patted the mud off his body; his clothes on the upper body were now tattered.

Xuan Taiming, who was feeling smug, was shocked when he saw Bai Cheng, who was completely unharmed.

"What?! You're unharmed after taking such an attack?! How is that possible?!"

Bai Cheng shrugged and scoffed at Xuan Taiming, who looked astonished, "What's impossible about that? Are you surprised that I could withstand your attack?"

Xuan Taiming's expression grew increasingly grim after hearing this. Xuan Chenfeng, standing to the side, was equally shocked to see Bai Cheng unharmed. He had already noticed the blue light emanating from Bai Cheng's body and guessed that Bai Cheng must have learned the Body Tempering Secret Technique of the Overlord Sect. Only by cultivating this Body Tempering Secret Technique could one display a layer of runes on the surface of their body.

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Chenfeng took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng looked at Xuan Chenfeng, who had suddenly appeared in front of him, with a look of surprise on his face.

"What!?"

While marveling at the power of the fragments within him, Bai Cheng quickly activated them. Instantly, his upper body was filled with blue striped light.

Xuan Chenfeng narrowed his eyes as he looked at Bai Cheng in front of him.

"Oh? So these are the runes you've cultivated?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Chenfeng gently raised a finger and then poked it directly into Bai Cheng's chest. Bai Cheng instantly felt as if he had been hit by a plane, not just a finger.

Immediately afterwards, his body flew straight out like a kite with a broken string, crashing hard into the edge of the magic circle.

Then, Xuan Chenfeng clenched his fist.

Bai Cheng immediately felt his body being bound in mid-air by a powerful spiritual force, unable to move at all.

Only then did he realize that what was binding him was a giant hand formed from spiritual energy.

As Xuan Chenfeng slowly exerted his strength, Bai Cheng's screams echoed in the ears of everyone present. At this moment, he could feel his body being squeezed by the enormous spiritual energy from all directions, his internal organs feeling as if they were about to burst, and the spiritual energy within the fragments was being rapidly consumed.

Upon hearing Bai Cheng's scream, Yu Qing'an, who was in the courtyard, immediately bypassed Xuan Molin and rushed out.

Only then did he realize that Bai Cheng was being held in the air by a giant hand and was making a miserable scream.

Yu Qing'an also saw Xuan Chenfeng's actions at this moment.

"Xuan Chenfeng! I never imagined that someone of your level would actually attack a cultivator who hasn't even reached the Qi Condensation Realm! Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed if word gets out!"

However, as soon as Yu Qing'an finished speaking, Yue Ling suddenly rushed out of the house and shouted, "Let go of Bai Cheng!"

At this moment, she held a spear formed from her spiritual power and hurled it fiercely at Xuan Chenfeng.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Chenfeng was initially startled, but his expression gradually changed from surprise to joy.

"Excellent! Excellent! I never expected someone so young to possess such talent, and even have a wind-attribute spiritual energy physique!"

Having said that, his expression hardened, and he showed no concern whatsoever for the spear that was coming at him.

The spear could no longer advance even an inch when it was less than three meters away from Xuan Chenfeng. With a wave of his hand, the spiritual energy spear beside him was instantly shattered.

Upon seeing this, Yu Qing'an shouted, "Ling'er! Go back quickly! Who let you out?!"

Yue Ling then leaped forward and appeared in front of Yu Qing'an.

“Father, Ling’er will not watch you face this alone.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Ling once again conjured a longsword imbued with wind-attribute spiritual energy. She swung it three times in Xuan Chenfeng's direction, unleashing three wind-attribute spiritual energy slashes.

This action surprised Xuan Chenfeng greatly. He withdrew the spiritual power that had bound Bai Cheng, and Bai Cheng, now free, fell to the ground.

Xuan Chenfeng simply waved his hand, and a spiritual energy slash over fifty meters long appeared, instantly shattering the three slashes that Yue Ling had launched. However, the slash did not stop, but continued to fly horizontally toward Yue Ling.

"Ling'er!!"

Upon seeing this, Yu Qing'an immediately rushed to Yue Ling's side, shielding her completely behind him. He stared intently ahead, watching the massive spiritual energy strike approaching.

As Xuan Chenfeng clenched his fist, the massive spiritual energy slash instantly dissipated five meters away from Yu Qing'an. The dissipated spiritual waves even blew down the wall of Yu Qing'an's own courtyard behind him.

Xuan Chenfeng took a step forward and instantly arrived in front of Yu Qing'an, his face now bearing his signature smile.

"Hehehe, Patriarch Yu, your daughter's talent is truly astonishing. It's about time this farce ended. Taiming! Hurry up and get the bride into the sedan chair!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Taiming immediately came to Yu Qing'an's side.

"Father-in-law, please invite Miss Yueling to get into the sedan chair."

Yu Qing'an's eyes were icy cold

"You're dreaming!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Chenfeng's face immediately darkened.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with alcohol!"

With a wave of his hand, a surge of spiritual energy sent Yu Qing'an flying dozens of meters away.

"Father!"

At this moment, Yue Ling stared intently at Xuan Chenfeng in front of her.

"Even if I die today, I will not go with you!"

Having said that, Yue Ling once again condensed a spiritual energy sword in her hand and slashed at Xuan Chenfeng in front of her. However, when the spiritual sword was still some distance away from Xuan Chenfeng, it was blocked by a powerful spiritual force and could not advance even an inch.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Chenfeng casually waved his hand, and a spiritual energy attack struck Yue Ling, sending her flying dozens of meters away.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Taiming shouted, "Father! Don't hurt Yueling!"

Xuan Chenfeng's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, I didn't use any force. This woman has a strong personality; you'll need to discipline her more when you get back."

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from behind him.

"I'll train your mother my ass!"

The attack Bai Cheng had just suffered had reduced the spiritual power of the fragments within his body to only one-tenth. However, he still activated the power of the fragments, leaping high into the air towards Xuan Chenfeng and unleashing a fierce punch.

Xuan Chenfeng sighed softly at this moment.

"Sigh, I originally wanted to spare your life, but I didn't expect you to insist on coming up here to die. Then don't blame me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying spiritual power suddenly erupted from Xuan Chenfeng's body, and at the same time, a green longsword appeared in his hand. The moment he summoned the longsword, green spiritual light swirled around it, like a serpent, and the emerald green blade emitted a dazzling spiritual light.

Bai Cheng was also startled when he saw this, because he found that he was frozen in mid-air.

'What's going on?!'

Looking at the sword, Bai Cheng instantly recalled the fragment of the spirit sword that Xuan Molin had once controlled. The feeling this sword gave him was just like that fragment.

'Is this a spirit-grade weapon?!'

As Xuan Chenfeng slowly pointed his longsword at Bai Cheng, Bai Cheng was surprised to find that the spiritual light emanating from the longsword slowly gathered in the air to form an enormous green spider, more than fifty meters long!

With a tremendous roar from the spider before him, Bai Cheng suddenly discovered that countless fine, spider-like spiritual threads were glowing around him!

Upon seeing this, Bai Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted.

'No wonder I couldn't move! It turns out I was bound by this thing!'

Xuan Chenfeng then began to stroke the long sword in his hand.

"The weapon in my hand is a low-grade spiritual sword called Soul Silk Binding Shadow. It is something that someone like you can never come into contact with in your entire life. To die by the hand of this sword is the greatest favor I can bestow upon you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant spider in the sky attacked Bai Cheng.

Just then, the fragment on Bai Cheng's body suddenly disappeared.

At that moment, he also felt his heart suddenly skip a beat.

"Damn it! The fragment's spiritual energy is all used up!"

Looking at the giant spider formed from spiritual energy before him, Bai Cheng laughed heartily with relief.

"Hahahaha! You old bastard! You better kill me today! Otherwise, I'll definitely take your life another day!"

Xuan Chenfeng frowned upon hearing this.

"Noisy!"

After saying that, the giant spider in front of Bai Cheng opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp teeth that were even larger than Bai Cheng's body.

'Damn it, is it over already? I thought I could cultivate to immortality, but it ended so quickly.'

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng shouted again, "Come on! I've already died once! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!"

Just as the giant spider was about to bite Bai Cheng, a silver spear pierced through the top of the Illusionary Gold Spirit Array, directly penetrating the giant spider in front of Bai Cheng and then sticking straight into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the giant spider in front of Bai Cheng transformed into green spiritual light and slowly dissipated.

At the same time, the spiritual threads binding Bai Cheng were released from their restraints.

After landing on the ground, Bai Cheng steadied himself.

Before him stood a silver spear radiating spiritual light. Even from a distance, the incredibly violent azure spiritual energy emanating from the spear startled Bai Cheng.

"This weapon! It's actually a spirit weapon!"

When Xuan Chenfeng saw the long spear, his expression changed drastically.

"This is! The Wind-Whispering Soul-Shattering Spear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew in through the gap at the top of the magic array and landed in front of Bai Cheng with his back to him. The person was Bai Zhentian.

Bai Zhentian then looked at Xuan Chenfeng not far away, his eyes sharp.

"Elder Xuan! How have you been?"

After saying that, he waved his hand in the air, and the spear flew back into his hand from the ground.

Xuan Chenfeng was startled.

"Lord Bai!? What are you doing here?"

"Elder Xuan, as a professional education elder of Tianhuo Academy, I never expected you would do something like forcibly abducting a woman!"

Having said that, Bai Zhentian pointed his spear upwards. At the same time, a phantom image of a spear a hundred meters long appeared in the sky above Bai Zhentian.

As he swung his spear, the phantom spear above immediately made the same move, splitting the entire Illusionary Gold Spirit Array in two, breaking it apart, and the Illusionary Gold Spirit Array completely dissipated at that moment.

At the same moment, just outside the Cloudfall Forest north of Yu Family Village, Hao Motou excitedly exclaimed while holding what looked like a telescope, "Boss! Look, that golden magic array is broken!"

Wu Yong, standing beside him, replied calmly, "I'm not blind, of course I can see it."

At this moment, Wu Yong was surrounded by more than twenty of his subordinates, most of whom were at the mid-to-late stage of the Body Refinement Realm. In addition to these people, Pang Yuhuai was also standing beside Wu Yong.

Wu Yong's expression was solemn at this moment.

"I originally planned to take this opportunity to kill that brat Bai Cheng today, but I didn't expect the city lord of Baifeng City to come. Could it be that he's here to protect Yu Qing'an's family?"

Pang Yuhuai shook his head upon seeing this.

"It seems there's no chance today. For the City Lord of Baifeng City to personally show up, their relationship must be extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong, looking annoyed, punched the tree beside him.

"Tsk! Damn, this kid's got a really lucky life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard his third-grade spirit beast mount, the Bloodhorn Rhinoceros, behind him begin to become agitated and restless.

At this moment, the bloodhorn rhinoceros seemed to sense something, its eyes filled with terror, its body trembling uncontrollably with fear, its swaying body knocking over the trees beside it.

After turning around, Wu Yong quickly went to the Bloodhorn Rhinoceros's side and kept comforting it.

"Strange? What's wrong with it? Second brother, did you hurt it when you rode it out last time?"

Hao Mo was also taken aback after hearing this.

"Hey boss, this is a third-grade spirit beast, the Bloodhorn Rhinoceros. Ordinary swords and blades simply can't hurt it unless they're weapons of mid-grade treasure level. Otherwise, how could it possibly get hurt?"

Just then, the bloodhorn rhinoceros suddenly sprang up and charged westward through the forest, knocking down all the trees along its path.

Seeing this, Pang Yuhuai also looked solemn.

"Strange, judging from its appearance, it seems to have been threatened and is frantically trying to escape. Although the range of divine sense of a master in the Opening Meridian Realm can reach five thousand meters, we are at least five miles away from that golden array. At this distance, it is impossible for the Bloodhorn Rhinoceros to sense any danger."

After thinking for a while, Wu Yong immediately shouted to Hao Motou, "Second brother! Take a few men and chase after them right away. If my mount is lost, you'll be held responsible!"

After hearing this, Hao Mo nodded helplessly.

Just as he was about to lead a few of his men to give chase, a figure slowly drifted out from the depths of the forest behind him.

This scene immediately sent chills down their spines.

As the figure gradually became clearer, Wu Yong and the others realized that it was a beautiful woman who had floated over.

As the woman drew closer, Pang Yuhuai was surprised to find that his divine sense could not detect her. This made him somewhat nervous.

As the woman moved forward slowly, the surrounding air seemed to stand still, and the forest they were in was eerily quiet at that moment.
