She had never been toyed around like this in all her years with Yuwen Tiancheng.

Currently, the only thought in the glamorous woman’s mind was to catch Jiang Xiaobai and brutally torture him for several days and nights.

“Be careful. That kid is pretty tricky. His realm is likely at the late Yuan Infant stage, but he’s not afraid to face someone at the Transcendence stage. In fact, even a Transcendent wouldn’t be his match,” warned Liu Dongsheng from the side.

“Humph, we currently have seven or eight at the late Transcendence stage, not to mention the presence of Mr. Wei Guang. How could he possibly be our match?” The glamorous woman scoffed coldly.

“After him!”

She did not wish to waste any more time. As for whether Qin Zheng had escaped or not, capturing Jiang Xiaobai was a must!

The humiliation brought upon her by Jiang Xiaobai… If she doesn’t capture him, she fears she might explode from the humiliation, her Dao heart disturbed and her future prospects uncertain.

Immediately, the group abandoned the trail of Qin Zheng and the others, charging straight towards Jiang Xiaobai.

Their intentions were clear – they wouldn’t rest until they had caught Jiang Xiaobai.

Up ahead, Jiang Xiaobai stopped running after a while.

The reason why he was running for his life earlier was that if he himself were surrounded, Qin Zheng and the others would also be doomed. Despite his current strength, dealing with those at the late Transcendence stage would still pose a challenge.

Generally speaking, he needs to step up his game.

“I’ve obtained The Great Formation of Nine Turns Yellow River, but it seems somewhat wasteful to use it on these few minor characters,” he muttered while seated on a tree branch, frowning.

Based on his own assessment, he should have no problem dealing with one or two at the late Transcendence stage. With the Sky Spirit treasure in hand, the enemies’ weapons would be of no use to him, as harmless as a sheet of paper.

However, he was short on spirit power, and his offensive ability was not strong enough!

What he currently needed most were offensive methods. The opponents all possessed various methods and martial skills, with countless offensive measures, while he only had a single sword technique to offer.

Moreover, activating the Sky Spirit treasure, although impressive, consumed an alarming amount of spirit power.

After all, this thing was never meant to be used at this realm.

“Why not try for a freebie again?” An idea suddenly popped up in Jiang Xiaobai’s mind.

If he could manage another freebie this time, he would hit the jackpot. Who knows, he might even be able to turn the tables if he comes across a decent reward next time.

As he was pondering, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky, led by the glamorous woman, surrounded by several formidable men at the late Transcendence stage.

Liu Dongsheng and another were also there, but their late Yuan Infant capabilities barely held any relevance amidst such a powerful group.

“He’s up ahead, the kid has stopped running.” Wei Guang spoke with surprise.

Logically, Jiang Xiaobai’s only option should be to flee. It was impossible for him to confront them head-on.

“Could there be a trap ahead?” the glamorous woman raised an eyebrow.

“Not likely, what kind of trap can he set with his abilities?”

Wei Guang snorted coldly, “This kid is quite interesting. He knows a technique that can hide his aura, as well as a strange escape art, which seems to include earth evasion?”

“Once we capture him, we must find out about this technique. It’s such an incredible skill, it’s a waste in the hands of this kid.’

“Rest assured, the kid can probably only set up some formations. Little does he know, I am the strongest when it comes to formations.”

With Wei Guang’s assurance, everyone felt much more at ease and didn’t hesitate in making a beeline for Jiang Xiaobai.

From afar, Jiang Xiaobai caught sight of these guys, but he didn’t immediately move. Instead, he hid on a tree branch, constantly calculating the safe distance between the two parties.

The reason for this was because he was awaiting the system choice to trigger.

Logically speaking, the system would give an option at this time.

Sure enough, at the moment when the distance between the two sides narrowed to a critical value, a delightful announcement from the system echoed in his mind.

“Congratulations host on triggering the choice! ”

“Choice one: Flee for your life, reward: ten years of cultivation.”

“Choice two: Fight for at least five minutes, reward: a copy of the Fighting Battle Scriptures.”

“Choice three: Kill all pursuers, reward: Primordial Chaos Boundless Swordplay.”

This time, the rewards were quite good, with cultivation rewards and the combat techniques that Jiang Xiaobai had always wanted.

However, for a moment, he found himself torn while looking at these rewards.

According to his previous plan, he was going to try for a freebie. But the last two options were quite tempting to him.

A fight for five minutes. He should just barely be able to manage with his full firepower in a life and death struggle.

On the other hand, killing all pursuers was also doable, as long as he unleashed The Great Formation of Nine Turns Yellow River.

Yet, the final option left Jiang Xiaobai somewhat pained. Using the Great Formation of Nine Turns Yellow River at this level indeed seemed like a waste of resources.

“Forget it, there will still be chances to get freebies in the future. If I miss out on the Fighting Battle Scriptures this time, God knows when I’ll get another chance.” He thought to himself.

With this thought, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly leapt from the tree branch, clutching the Sky Spirit Sword tightly in his hand.

Looking at him charging towards them, the crowd was taken aback. They had not expected Jiang Xiaobai to actually take the initiative to charge towards them.

Immediately, Wei Guang commanded everyone to stand still. The two groups confronted each other, hovering in mid-air a few hundred meters apart.

“Jiang Bai, you really are brave. Not only did you attack the master mansion of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, you also humiliated the Thousand Yuan Dynasty, and smashed the spirit stone vein of the mansion. Any one of these deeds is enough to ensure your utter doom!” Liu Dongsheng sneered as he saw Jiang Xiaobai.

“Heh, for one so brave, aren’t you now cornered?” Jiang Xiaobai retorted calmly.

“So, you’ve come to your senses? Ready to beg for mercy now?” Liu Dongsheng scoffed at him, “But don’t daydream. No one who has offended the Thousand

Yuan Dynasty has ever survived.”

“Regrettably, you really should not have helped Qin Zheng that day. If you’d just fled straight away, none of this would have happened.”

“You lack the guts to face your own deeds, and stick your nose in too many other people’s affairs.”

Listening to one sarcastic remark after another from Liu Dongsheng, Jiang Xiaobai’s expression gradually darkened.

It was true, he really disliked Liu Dongsheng’s pompous attitude. If it weren’t for the presence of several late stages of Transcendence lurking around, Jiang Xiaobai would have charged forward and slain Liu Dongsheng with a single stroke of his sword.

“Jiang Bai, just surrender. Stop struggling in vain, it’s just a waste of time.” The glamorous woman coldly sneered, tightly holding a long whip in her hand.

“The words ‘surrender’ do not exist in my dictionary!”

“Just a few at the Transcendence stage, dare you face my sword?”

There was no fear in Jiang Xiaobai’s demeanor, instead he brandished his sword, emanating a lofty sword aura.

“Hmph, you’re just digging your own grave. Do you think you can withstand me?.

The glamorous woman snorted coldly, her face gradually contorting from anger.

The humiliation Jiang Xiaobai had caused her earlier erupted at this moment.

“Jiang Bai, die!”
