Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1219: 1219: Bai Jintang's Breakdown (2)
Previously on Supreme Vision Master...
Bai Jintang could scarcely credit his own eyes.
Yet, the palpable power and force contained within that beam of sword light were impossible to deny.
Bai Jintang had a chilling premonition that if he failed to dodge this radiant sword strike in the nick of time, his demise was all but certain!
Compounding his predicament, he found himself cornered within the Array, hemmed in by its spatial boundaries to his left, right, and rear. His only recourse was to either shatter the Array immediately or face the incoming sword light head-on!
“Blast it!”
He muttered a curse beneath his breath.
His initial assessment was that Luo Qingtong was someone whose intelligence would ultimately lead her astray.
However, to his astonishment, he was the one who had been blinded by his own misguided schemes!
It was clear this Ye Jiu had orchestrated this deliberately, luring him into this inescapable trap!
Furthermore, the astonishing combat prowess displayed by his adversary sent an involuntary chill down Bai Jintang’s spine.
This time, he had truly hit an insurmountable obstacle!
He had provoked someone he absolutely should not have!
This couldn't be happening! He absolutely refused to let her escape this place alive!
With this resolute thought, a fierce light ignited in Bai Jintang’s eyes.
At this critical juncture, he abandoned all pretense of concealment and restraint.
With swift urgency, he raised his hand and pointed with force towards his own heart.
“Ancestor Talisman, reveal yourself without delay!”
Bai Jintang invoked the Ancestor Talisman embedded within him.
This Saint Realm Amulet, intrinsically linked to his very heart and activated by the Bai Family’s proprietary Secret Technique, unleashed an attack commensurate with Saint Realm might.
It was meticulously crafted by the Bai Family’s Saint Realm experts to serve as a safeguard for the clan’s most cherished descendants.
Its deployment incurred a substantial cost and was not to be undertaken lightly.
As the eldest legitimate scion of the third generation, Bai Jintang possessed one such amulet, but its use meant he would be without another for the subsequent decade!
In any future peril, he would be forced to rely solely upon his own abilities!
Contemplating this grim reality, his heart ached, and his gaze fixed upon Luo Qingtong, growing ever more venomous and malevolent!
This Ye Jiu, she was truly damnable!
“Buzz!”
As Bai Jintang made his pronouncement, a striking gesture.
Instantly, a crimson mark materialized upon his chest, precisely where his heart resided.
However, before Bai Jintang could even savor a moment of relief, the blood-red insignia he had summoned, which had floated into the air, abruptly spun and then subsided, becoming inert.
“How… how is this conceivable?!”
Witnessing the blood-colored emblem fall silent and inactive, Bai Jintang stood dumbfounded. Before he could even attempt to reactivate the mark, a resounding impact occurred as Luo Qingtong’s strike descended.
The incandescent sword light struck his body with brutal force.
In an instant, a pained shriek echoed out. Bai Jintang’s legs were severed cleanly, and his entire form was propelled backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
“How could this happen?! Why did my Saint Realm Amulet fail to respond!”
“Was it you?! Was it truly you?!”
Bai Jintang’s visage contorted into a mask of anguish and disbelief.
He lay prostrate and helpless on the ground, his limbs trembling uncontrollably, his eyes locked venomously onto Luo Qingtong, who stood opposite him.
She had already returned her sword to its scabbard and, upon hearing his frantic questions, tilted her head to regard him.
“That’s correct. You weren’t entirely devoid of sense; it was indeed me.”
Luo Qingtong observed him, a faint smile gracing her lips.
She had already gleaned information about the Saint Realm Amulet within Bai Jintang’s person from the hidden operatives. How could she possibly allow him the opportunity to utilize such a potent artifact?
Her earlier maneuvers, involving constant evasions, served a dual purpose: not only to lure Bai Jintang into the Array’s confined space but also to discreetly disrupt the integrity of his blood seal.
While such a mechanism might be beyond the reach of ordinary individuals, for Luo Qingtong, it was sufficient to simply identify and impede the vital connection between the blood seal and Bai Jintang’s heart meridian.
By achieving this, even if Bai Jintang managed to activate the blood seal through a Secret Technique, without its crucial conduit, the seal would invariably revert to its dormant state!
