I Can Extract Divine Power

Chapter 346 - 152: Come at Me Together

Hearing what the three of them had to say, Shen Bai chuckled softly. Then, looking at Ouyang Sword and Xu Qian, he said slowly, "These two are just with me. How about you leave them out of this for now?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Sword said, "Brother Shen, those words are a bit of an insult to me. Though I may not be your equal, I won’t be a coward in a situation like this."

Xu Qian, having recovered slightly from the earlier shock, said as well, "It’s not like we’ll die. What’s there to be afraid of? I didn’t plan on getting to the second round anyway."

Shen Bai shook his head. "You’ve misunderstood."

His words left everyone present slightly stunned.

They clearly had no idea what Shen Bai would say next.

Shen Bai only paused for a moment before continuing, "What I mean is, I’d rather you avoid getting accidentally injured when the fight breaks out, causing you to lose your ranking and fail to reach the second round. After all, this bunch of riffraff is nothing to worry about."

The moment he said this, the entire area fell silent.

Everyone’s eyes widened, and they stared at Shen Bai in disbelief, as if he had told the most absurd joke imaginable.

Lv Bei was the first to burst into laughter, the sound so loud it seemed to make the grassland tremble. "Shen Bai, do you have any idea what you’re saying? Just look at how many people I have on my side! Addressing you by name was to show you respect. Letting you eliminate yourself was to spare your dignity. But you just had to be shameless. You’re asking to die!"

Xiang Quan sneered. "You are truly arrogant. Do you really think just because the Jianghu gave you the title of Six Extremes Young Master, you’re completely untouchable?"

Chen Yu chuckled. "I’d say he’s not untouchable, just that there’s something wrong with his head. Perhaps life has been too easy for him, so he ended up with this kind of personality."

The other Observatory members also began to mutter amongst themselves, but the general consensus was that Shen Bai was being overly arrogant, even delusional.

There were over a thousand of them at the Meridian Realm. Combined, even an expert in the Unity Realm would have to retreat and give them a wide berth.

How could a mere Shen Bai possibly stand against them?

In their minds, what Shen Bai had just said was no different from delirious rambling.

Xu Qian opened his mouth, about to speak, when Ouyang Sword suddenly grabbed his arm.

"What...?"

Xu Qian asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Ouyang Sword silently pulled Xu Qian back, retreating more than a hundred meters away before saying, "Brother Shen has his reasons for doing this."

Xu Qian was completely lost, the confusion on his face deepening.

"Brother Ouyang, I’m completely in the dark about what you’re saying."

Ouyang Sword said slowly, "Brother Shen has handled every crisis perfectly, and he wins every battle. They don’t believe in Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward, but I do, because I’ve seen it with my own eyes."

"Oh, right. I almost forgot to tell you. On the way here, Brother Shen fought four Unity Realm masters by himself and killed every single one of them on the spot."

Xu Qian was stunned. Lv Bei and his two companions were stunned. In fact, every Observatory member present was stunned.

Ouyang Sword had not spoken loudly, but his words had clearly reached all of their ears.

When Xu Qian came to his senses, he asked in astonishment, "Someone in the Meridian Realm fighting four people in the Unity Realm? Brother Ouyang, surely you’re joking?"

Ouyang Sword shook his head. "Do I seem like someone who tells jokes?"

Xu Qian felt that he was at a loss for words.

Seeing the two of them whispering, Lv Bei pointed at them and laughed even louder. "Do you believe him? Because I don’t! That’s hilarious! If you had said that you, Shen Bai, could take on one person from the Unity Realm, I might have believed it. But to say you can take on four? That’s utterly ridiculous."

The laughter seemed contagious, quickly spreading to every member of the Observatory.

They looked at Shen Bai as if he were a joke.

Shen Bai’s gaze drifted over Lv Bei and his two companions as he asked calmly, "Is it that funny?"

Those four simple words instantly cut off the crowd’s laughter.

Lv Bei sneered, "And why shouldn’t it be? You’re really determined to be shameless. Since it has come to this, we’ll eliminate you right now. We just hope you don’t hold a grudge against us. After all, during the internal exam, everyone has to use their own methods."

"Those are the exact words I was about to say to you." Shen Bai slowly drew Cold Moon from his waist, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.

"From the moment I arrived, the three of you have been huddled together, plotting against me. I haven’t eliminated many Observatory members yet, so this is the perfect time to do something. After you three are kicked out, I’m sure you’ll be hopping mad."

Lv Bei frowned. "What are you planning to do?"

Shen Bai said calmly, "First, I’m going to eliminate the three of you. Then I’m going to make you lose your chance to get into the second round."

A look of contempt appeared on Xiang Quan’s face. "Eliminate us? In your current state? You clearly don’t understand."

"Lv Bei is a Fire Priest, an ancient discipline, and his flames are terrifyingly powerful."

"My Double Hooks can dismantle an opponent’s attacks, while the poison covering Chen Yu’s palms can make a person’s flesh and blood vanish in an instant. What do you possibly have to fight us with?"

Chen Yu glanced back at the other Observatory members. "And that’s not to mention the thousand others here. They are all geniuses of the younger generation. You are far too arrogant."

Shen Bai shook his head. "Then let the facts speak for themselves."

This time, he wasted no more words. He executed Divine Thousand Miles, turning into an afterimage.

He pushed the Explosive Speed Attribute of Divine Thousand Miles to its absolute limit while thrusting straight ahead with Cold Moon.

The battle erupted in an instant. Immediately after, blood-red Sword Qi bloomed from Cold Moon, multiplying into over a thousand strands in a split second.

The thousand strands of Sword Qi condensed into three blades, aimed directly at Lv Bei and his two companions.

Shen Bai had said he would eliminate them first, and so he would. There was no room for discussion.

The terrifying Sword Qi made everyone present feel an immense pressure.

The eyes of Lv Bei and his two companions widened as they felt the terror of a life-or-death crisis well up in their hearts.

’Is this really the power someone in the Meridian Realm can possess?’

A single thought surfaced in all three of their minds.
