Chapter 721 - 218: 5 Deceitful Objects

"You’re going to die."

A cold, murderous aura emerged with his words.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Bai unleashed Blood Red Sword Qi from the Cold Moon in his hand.

The Sword Qi of the Soul-Annihilating Sword erupted, dense and numerous, blotting out the sun and covering the entire sky.

Qiu Ze felt a life-or-death crisis descend upon him. He felt an icy chill run through his body, as if he were being watched by a terrifying, deceitful creature.

He could sense the killing intent radiating from Shen Bai. Gritting his teeth, he raised his left hand.

Qiu Ze activated the Ten Thousand Strange Map, and a terrifying Power of Space enveloped the area.

Shen Bai frowned slightly and lifted a finger.

Innumerable strands of Blood Red Sword Qi rained down madly toward Qiu Ze.

Watching from the side, Qu Yongfeng and Xue Caixiang felt their hearts leap into their throats.

They suddenly felt like frogs at the bottom of a well.

In Shen Bai’s presence, they were like mayflies gazing upon the heavens.

’This is Shen Bai’s true combat strength. That punch back then was really just a casual strike.’

A flash of shock crossed Qu Yongfeng’s mind, followed by immense bitterness.

He suddenly understood the saying that circulated among the younger generation of the Great Zhou Country.

’There are thousands upon thousands of geniuses in this world, but even they must bow their heads to Shen Bai.’

’The younger generation of the entire Great Zhou Country is divided into two tiers. The first is Shen Bai, and the second is all the other prodigies.’

He hadn’t believed it before, but now he did.

Because every single strand of that Sword Qi was more than enough to obliterate him with ease.

Xue Caixiang, on the other hand, felt a wave of lingering fear.

She was truly grateful that Shen Bai wasn’t a petty person.

If he had been even slightly more spiteful, her head would likely have been separated from her neck back then.

Amid their shock, it was Qiu Ze who felt it all most deeply.

As the terrifying Blood Red Sword Qi descended, he pushed the Qi within his body to its absolute limit.

In the face of this mortal danger, he activated the Ten Thousand Strange Map.

The next moment, terrifying waves of the Power of Space surged from the Ten Thousand Strange Map.

As the Blood Red Sword Qi entered the Ten Thousand Strange Map, it vanished in an instant.

Shen Bai raised an eyebrow.

This was the first time he had ever seen such an ability.

But before he could say a word, one hundred wisps of Evil Qi materialized before him and were swiftly absorbed.

"Hm?"

Shen Bai was slightly taken aback. This outcome had exceeded his expectations. How had a hundred wisps of Evil Qi appeared out of nowhere?

While he was still surprised, Qiu Ze stared at the Ten Thousand Strange Map in his hand, his eyes wide.

’It’s over.’

’Five Deceitful Beings at the Celestial Spirit Realm Peak... all of them were wiped out by him.’

Qiu Ze had just activated the Ten Thousand Strange Map’s Power of Space, absorbing all the Sword Qi into it.

But inside the map were five Deceitful Beings at the Celestial Spirit Realm Peak, and the Sword Qi had directly killed all five of them.

Seeing Qiu Ze’s expression, Shen Bai already understood what had happened.

"I see. That was a pleasant little surprise."

Shen Bai slowly advanced as the Blood Red Sword Qi once again materialized in the sky above.

Qu Yongfeng finally found an opportunity to speak.

"Lord Shen, he is a Treasure Master! He specializes in controlling Deceitful Objects. Any Deceitful Object in his hands will display double its power. You must be careful."

Shen Bai didn’t answer, because the excitement in his eyes was growing more and more intense.

Behind Qiu Ze, four more Deceitful Objects materialized: a gauntlet, a cyan stone, a rhombus-shaped Jade Pendant, and a fine needle.

Adding the Ten Thousand Strange Map, a total of five Deceitful Objects now floated around him.

"Shen Bai, since it has come to a matter of life and death, I will utterly destroy you! Let me show you that even though I’m not skilled in combat, I can still achieve unexpected results!"

A cold smile spread across Qiu Ze’s face, as if he could already see Shen Bai’s end.

Their profession, Treasure Masters, was a very special one.

The reason was that everything they had was tied to Deceitful Objects.

If they had many Deceitful Objects, they possessed immense combat power. If they had few, they were complete weaklings.

But now, Qiu Ze felt that with his five Deceitful Objects, he had enough power to fight an existence at the Celestial Spirit Realm Peak.

These five Deceitful Objects had both offensive and defensive capabilities. When fully activated, they were enough to destroy anything.

He believed he could defeat Shen Bai. In fact, Qiu Ze even thought Shen Bai would be instantly killed by him.

But just as he was speaking, he found that Shen Bai had vanished.

At the same time, Qiu Ze saw that Shen Bai had, at some unknown moment, appeared before the five Deceitful Objects and was lightly tapping each one.

Then, a horrifying scene unfolded.

Qiu Ze discovered that his five Deceitful Objects were turning into ordinary, mundane items at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What’s going on?" Qiu Ze’s face was filled with horror, unable to believe what he was seeing.

’These are Deceitful Objects! How could they suddenly be gone?’

’The aura of the Deceitful Objects has vanished, and they’ve become ordinary items. What kind of technique did the man before me use?’

Shen Bai smiled, looking at the dissipating smoke before him with a sense of deep satisfaction.

’What a timely gift. In that case, I’ll do myself the favor of capturing you, dragging you to the Observatory’s dungeons, and torturing you properly.’
