Supreme Vision Master Chapter 1219: Bai Jintang’s Breakdown (2)
Previously on Supreme Vision Master...
Bai Jintang found it hard to accept what his eyes perceived. Yet, the immense power and formidable strength contained within that beam of sword light were undeniably real. Bai Jintang sensed that if he failed to evade this impending sword light promptly, his demise was certain. At this critical juncture, he was cornered within the confines of the Array, trapped by its spatial control on his left, right, and rear. Unless he could shatter the Array at once, he would be compelled to confront the sword light directly!
"Damn it all!" he uttered through gritted teeth. He had initially assumed Luo Qingtong was someone whose intellect would eventually lead her astray. However, to his dismay, he discovered he was the one blinded by his own supposed cleverness! This individual, Ye Jiu, had clearly orchestrated this, deliberately luring him into this inescapable predicament. The terrifying combat prowess displayed by his adversary sent an inexplicable chill through Bai Jintang's heart. He realized, with dread, that he had truly hit a formidable obstacle! He had provoked a power far beyond his reach! No, this could not stand! He absolutely could not permit his opponent to leave this place alive!
With this resolute thought, a fierce glint ignited in Bai Jintang's eyes. At this moment, any pretense of restraint or reluctance vanished. He swiftly raised his hand, pointing it directly at his chest with great force. "Ancestor Talisman, manifest yourself immediately!" Bai Jintang invoked the Ancestor Talisman embedded within his body without hesitation. This Saint Realm Amulet, intricately linked to his very heart and activated by the unique Secret Technique of the Bai Family, unleashed an attack on par with the might of a Saint Realm expert. It was a sacred artifact crafted by the Bai Family's Saint Realm progenitors to safeguard their most cherished descendants. Its use came at a tremendous cost, rendering it an option not to be employed lightly.
As the eldest legitimate grandson of the third generation, Bai Jintang possessed such a talisman. However, its activation meant he would be unable to acquire another for a decade! In subsequent perils, he would be left to his own devices! The thought sent a pang of anguish through him, intensifying the venomous and malevolent gaze he directed at Luo Qingtong. This Ye Jiu was truly damnable!
"Buzz!" Bai Jintang made his decisive gesture. Instantly, a crimson mark materialized on his body, precisely over his heart. Yet, before Bai Jintang could savor the anticipation of its power, the blood-red mark he had summoned hovered in the air, spun erratically, and then inexplicably receded, falling dormant. "How... how is this possible?!" Staring at the silent, blood-colored mark, Bai Jintang stood utterly bewildered. Before he could even attempt to reawaken the mark, a thunderous crash echoed as Luo Qingtong's attack landed. That searing sword light struck his body with devastating force. In a flash, a piercing scream erupted. Bai Jintang's legs were severed with brutal precision, propelling his entire body backward to crash 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 face contorted in a mask of agony and disbelief. Lying utterly incapacitated on the ground, his muscles spasming uncontrollably, he fixed an intense, accusing stare upon Luo Qingtong, who stood opposite him. She had already returned her sword to its sheath. Hearing his desperate questions, she met his gaze.
"That's right; you weren't entirely foolish after all. It was indeed me," Luo Qingtong replied, a faint smile gracing her lips as she looked down at him. She had overheard Bai Jintang discussing the Saint Realm Amulet concealed within him through the hidden communication channel. How could she possibly afford to grant him the opportunity to utilize such a power? Her earlier feigned retreats served a dual purpose: to lure Bai Jintang into the Array's inescapable trap and, more crucially, to discreetly disrupt the activation of his blood seal. While that particular technique might be impervious to others, for Luo Qingtong, locating the vital connection between the blood seal and Bai Jintang's heart meridian and subtly interfering with it was entirely feasible. Thus, even if Bai Jintang attempted to activate the blood seal using his Secret Technique, without its essential anchor, the mark would inevitably revert to its dormant state!
