828: Chapter 828 Battle Smoke Ghost!

“Half-step Divinity Transformation?

Let me take care of him!”

Upon hearing that the old man holding a tobacco pipe was a half-step Divinity Transformation expert, Xiao Mei softly whispered to Bai Xiaofan.

“You go deal with the small fries around here; they’re easier to handle.

Leave the old guy to me.

Be good now!”

Bai Xiaofan, as if coaxing a child, gently persuaded Xiao Mei, even letting his hand tenderly comb through her hair.

Witnessing Bai Xiaofan’s actions, Smokey Ghost and his comrades suddenly felt an odd illusion.

It was as if their presence had intruded on the intimate moment between the two.

“Such insolence!

Though I have yet to break through to the initial stage of Divinity Transformation, I am a half-step Divinity Transformation expert.

How is it that I appear to be treated like a mere ant awaiting to be crushed by you?”

Smokey Ghost bellowed furiously, his fearsome gaze locked onto Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei as they openly flaunted their affection.

At the same time, Smokey Ghost’s aura as a half-step Divinity Transformation expert began to unfurl.

“Be careful, then!”

Xiao Mei sensed Smokey Ghost’s imposing presence and realized that if she were to fight him, the outcome would indeed be uncertain.

Even if she managed to win, she would undoubtedly sustain serious injuries.

Better to leave it to Bai Xiaofan.

She trusted Bai Xiaofan to handle Smokey Ghost far more effortlessly than she could.

Bai Xiaofan smiled faintly, lifting his head once again to meet Smokey Ghost’s gaze, filled with confidence against this half-step Divinity Transformation master.

He had fought and triumphed over a peak Nascent Soul practitioner.

He had battled a Divinity Transformation master and lost.

But this was his first encounter with a half-step Divinity Transformation expert.

“Bai Xiaofan, you’re only at a half-step Nascent Soul cultivation stage, which is worlds apart from me.

I’d advise you to take your own life now.

Otherwise, once I make my move, you’ll find death an unattainable luxury!”

Smokey Ghost sneered maliciously, clearly dismissive of Bai Xiaofan as a threat.

On the surface, Bai Xiaofan’s abilities didn’t qualify for Smokey Ghost’s regard.

As a half-step Divinity Transformation expert, Smokey Ghost stood among the strongest, save for two individuals back at the clan, along with Li Qiu, who was away.

That made three.

And Bai Xiaofan?

Merely half-step Nascent Soul.

The gap in power was insurmountable.

If not for Li Qiu’s directive for him to lead the team personally, he wouldn’t have bothered showing up at all!

“Enough chatter.

Let this young master see if your half-step Divinity Transformation is truly as fearsome as they say.

Lucky for you, I’ve been itching to test out a move!”

Bai Xiaofan smirked mockingly, curling a finger at Smokey Ghost, his provocations overtly bold.

Just as Bai Xiaofan exchanged words with Smokey Ghost, Xiao Mei had already launched her attack.

The dozens of enemies before her were formidable; aside from ten or so who hadn’t reached early Nascent Soul, the rest were all at the Nascent Soul initial stage.

Among them was even a pair of Nascent Soul mid-stage experts.

Yet Xiao Mei cared little for her opponents’ cultivation stages.

All she knew was that her Green Lotus Sword craved the taste of their blood.

Xiao Mei, once she made her move, showed no hesitation; her strikes were devastating.

A Nascent Soul initial stage practitioner fell to her blade in a single exchange, his head severed cleanly.

One sword, one kill!

The remaining members of the Black Witch Tribe, seeing their comrade felled by just one strike, roared furiously in retaliation.

“Your companion’s cultivation isn’t bad, but how long do you think she can last?”

Smokey Ghost seemed in no hurry to attack, instead engaging Bai Xiaofan in conversation.

Perhaps he believed eliminating Bai Xiaofan wouldn’t cost him much effort.

So why rush?

“She’ll live for a very, very long time.

As long as I breathe, she will never fall!”

Bai Xiaofan spoke calmly, as his aura quietly began to rise.

Still at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, yet surpassing the limits of ordinary practitioners within the same realm!

Smokey Ghost, sensing Bai Xiaofan’s rising aura, narrowed his aged eyes slightly.

He had encountered many half-step Nascent Soul cultivators and was familiar with their strength.

Yet Bai Xiaofan defied his expectations; his power seemed to vastly outpace others of his level.

Could this be why Li Qiu had insisted on him leading the team personally?

With this realization, Smokey Ghost began to retract his earlier contempt, replacing it with a readiness to fight at full power.

“While your cultivation remains unworthy of my complete effort, today I’ll grant you the honor.

Before you die, witness what a true master is capable of!”

With his words, Smokey Ghost shifted into a stance, his tobacco pipe held horizontally, poised for both offense and defense!

“Good.

I wouldn’t want you whining to King Yanluo after your demise about not giving it your all!”

Bai Xiaofan chuckled, though his aura continued to intensify without respite.

As Bai Xiaofan’s power climbed higher and higher, Smokey Ghost began to feel a subtle tremor within his body.

This sensation was utterly inconceivable.

Smokey Ghost couldn’t explain it, but he suspected Bai Xiaofan’s cultivation technique was extraordinary.

He couldn’t allow Bai Xiaofan’s aura to rise unchecked.

Otherwise, when Bai Xiaofan reached his peak, while Smokey Ghost might still win, the fight would be far more grueling.

Determined, Smokey Ghost made his move—a sudden leap forward, his tobacco pipe sweeping horizontally toward Bai Xiaofan’s face.

This seemingly casual attack was so powerful that even the nearby trees shuddered violently.

Xiao Mei, locked in intense combat with the Black Witch Tribe members, briefly felt Smokey Ghost’s oppressive force, causing her to falter for a moment in her assault.

That slight hesitation allowed a Nascent Soul mid-stage expert an opening as his longsword pierced Xiao Mei’s abdomen.

Splurt!

Scarlet blood blossomed vividly, like a crimson peony—enticing, haunting, forbidding, as though any proximity would desecrate its regal allure.

Xiao Mei glanced at her wound, her beautiful eyes remaining calm, yet turning even colder.

Seeing the tobacco pipe approaching his hand, Bai Xiaofan’s gaze sharpened.

His left hand reached out with unassuming simplicity, seemingly intending to grab the pipe directly.

“Foolish!”

Sensing Bai Xiaofan’s intent, Smokey Ghost sneered disdainfully, adding further force to his strike.

This time, he aimed to crush Bai Xiaofan’s hand entirely.

He wanted to teach Bai Xiaofan the true meaning of the disparity between their strengths.

But in the instant before the tobacco pipe made contact with Bai Xiaofan’s hand, a blade’s light surged forth, cutting toward Smokey Ghost’s left shoulder.
