The Journey of Projection Upgrading
Chapter 172: Battle

In fact, they said that two generations were not necessarily incompatible.

According to the information Chen An had learned, decades ago, the Bai family was already in decline, with no outstanding talents among the younger generation, only four elderly elders struggling hard to support.

But at this time, the Bai family master rose to power.

The story of the Bai family master seemed quite exciting to Chen An.

According to the Bai family's internal legend, this Bai family master was not initially valued when he first started practicing, and even suppressed by the elders of the Bai family at that time.

Yes, the position of the Bai family master was not fixed, it could change.

Of course, it was also possible that they didn't want to change initially, but later, they had no choice.

After all, one couldn't stick to a position without understanding the rules.

Suppressed by the main line of the family, but the young Bai family master broke through all obstacles with his own talent, promoted to the Qi Gathering stage at the age of forty, and shattered all suppression.

In the following ten years, the Bai family master continued to advance, surpassing all the elders within the Bai family and becoming the true number one person in the Bai family.

From that time on, the position of the Bai family master changed hands.

The specific story behind this, Chen An did not know, because those who had experienced it in the past dared not say it in too much detail.

But it could be guessed that it was definitely not harmonious.

Blood and corpses were probably inevitable.

Calculating like this, this Bai family master was actually a legendary figure.

Chen An thought with great interest, staring into the distance.

In his gaze, the Bai family master slowly advanced, his slightly rough but powerful arms reaching out towards the direction of the Pure Spirit Flower.

"Attack!"

At this moment, a bolt of lightning streaked across.

As if they had agreed on a code beforehand, at this moment, the several elders from the Cao and Liu families sitting on the side all acted at the same time.

These were elders invited by the Bai family elders to witness the event.

However, as predicted by Liang Yao beforehand, they still moved.

Quite cooperative.

Powerful Qi burst forth, and the pre-rehearsed coordination made their aura extremely powerful.

The instant eruption of strength made Chen An unable to help but take notice.

"Not bad."

Chen An was surprised.

Several elders from the Cao and Liu families acted at the same time, the strength they unleashed at that moment already surpassed Qi Gathering.

If Chen An were to evaluate, it was almost at the peak of the Qi Gathering stage.

At the peak of the Qi Gathering stage, it was not a big deal for Chen An, but this attack was only released by four ordinary Qi Gathering cultivators.

This was unexpected.

After observing carefully, Chen An discovered something suspicious.

These four elders coordinated seamlessly between their actions, seemingly carrying a shadow of a combined attack method.

This method allowed their powers to interweave, unleashing a terrifying blow for a brief moment.

It could be said that as a prestigious family, they indeed had some tricks up their sleeves.

Chen An had never seen this kind of combined attack method before.

This was definitely an eye-opener.

Boom!

Sound waves reverberated, a strong burst of sound, followed by the spread of terrifying force and destruction, filling the surroundings.

Facing the attack from the elders of the Cao and Liu families, the Bai family master seemed to have anticipated it.

With a calm expression, he extended his hand and gave a slight tap behind him.

A chunky stream of Qi erupted, transforming into a palm print and directly covering the surroundings, forcefully suppressing the attack from the four elders.

Boom!

The Qi scattered.

As the smoke and dust settled, the scene fell into the eyes of the onlookers.

"Kill!"

A distant sound of charge spread, covering the area.

Chen An looked up.

In the peripheral area, several people emerged, rushing towards the direction of the Pure Spirit Flower.

And the number of people was quite exaggerated.

Not one or two, but a total of six.

This was quite a force.

A total of six Qi Gathering cultivators attacking, in addition to the four who had already made a move, made it a total of ten Qi Gathering cultivators.

A total of ten Qi Gathering cultivators attacking, Chen An had never seen such a scene.

Even he was distracted, looking at Liang Yao beside him, thinking that everything was within her expectations, only to see her slightly open her mouth.

"Don't you know?"

Chen An was surprised.

"I don't know."

As if sensing Chen An's thoughts, Liang Yao glanced at him: "I've said it, I only know the final result, not the details of the process."

"Otherwise, why would I be here watching? Just out of curiosity."

"You make a good point, I have no words."

Chen An remained silent, and could only continue to observe the situation.

The current situation was already quite complicated.

With a total of ten Qi Gathering cultivators attacking, opposing the Bai family.

If we included the several Qi Gathering cultivators of the Bai family, it would be a total of fifteen Qi Gathering cultivators.

This number made even Chen An unable to remain calm.

Because even if a Nascent Soul cultivator arrived, if their cultivation was not deep enough, they might end up in an accident.

It wasn't that the Nascent Soul cultivator wasn't strong enough, it was just that there were too many opponents.

Fortunately, these people were not in the same group.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome.

"White Blaze, put down the Pure Spirit Flower, and today's matter will be forgiven."

"Otherwise."

"What if not?"

To everyone's surprise, facing the siege of ten Qi Gathering cultivators, the Bai family master White Blaze did not show any fear, his face still as indifferent as ever.

"Otherwise, after today, the Bai family will be a thing of the past."

Someone around him said coldly.

"Is that so?"

White Blaze neither confirmed nor denied, his expression unchanged: "If you want the Pure Spirit Flower in my hands, then prepare to face the consequences."

Hmm?

Facing the Bai family master, the people around finally realized that something was wrong.

This is not right.

Facing our sudden attack, why aren't you afraid?

Not only were they not afraid, but there was even a sense of fearlessness.

This situation was a bit off.

At this moment, someone finally realized that something was wrong.

But unfortunately, it was already too late.

The arrow was on the string, and they had already reached the point of no return.

The current situation, even if they stopped attacking, the people from the Bai family would not let them off.

So the only choice was to grit their teeth and charge forward.

They exchanged glances and then acted without hesitation.

Boom!

A powerful Qi surged into the air, erupting all at once.

An unprecedented grand melee began.

In the past, Qi Gathering cultivators were considered top battle powers, and even if they fought occasionally, it was usually one-on-one, rarely engaging in group battles.

But a battle with more than ten Qi Gathering cultivators?

Not only had it never occurred, but it hadn't even been heard of.

However, in the present circumstances, this unprecedented melee was erupting.

The scene was truly spectacular.

Not to mention Liang Yao and the others, even Chen An was completely focused on watching.

After all, this kind of scene was rare even for him.

He had once commanded tens of thousands of troops in the Great Huaxia World and had witnessed the devastation of nations.

But a Qi Gathering cultivator melee like this was something he had never seen.

Even for him, it was a rare sight.

"What a great show."

Quietly hiding in a corner, Bai Qing carefully concealed her figure, watching the battle in front of her unfold and sighing silently in her heart.

At some point, Qi Gathering had become her goal.

But before this great battle, even Qi Gathering seemed like an ordinary rank, just one of the common fighters in this great battle.

"It looks decent, just a little short on numbers."

The voice of Empress Luo Shan echoed in Bai Qing's mind.

This statement left Bai Qing dumbfounded.

There were already more than a dozen Qi Gathering cultivators, and they were still short on numbers?

"Of course."

Apparently catching Bai Qing's thoughts, Empress Luo Shan continued, "The so-called Qi Gathering is only worth mentioning in this declining world."

"If we were in the peak of this great realm, Qi Gathering would just be ordinary soldiers, just soldiers at that."

"Qi Gathering as soldiers, Nascent Soul as generals, this is what the peak of this realm looks like."

"Qi Gathering as soldiers, Nascent Soul as generals."

A look of longing and admiration appeared in Bai Qing's eyes.

For a martial artist, that era was the most beautiful.

"However, even so, I am just an ordinary Internal Qi cultivator now, and any one of them could easily take me down."

Although the vision painted by Empress Luo Shan was extremely beautiful, Bai Qing was a calm person, and quickly returned to the critical issue, "Are you sure you want me to snatch the Pure Spirit Flower from these people, risking my life?"

She looked at the almost earth-shattering scene in front of her, the doubts in her eyes evident.

It was understandable for her to feel this way.

Bai Qing had always been a confident person, willing to take on any challenge no matter the circumstances.

But confidence did not mean being foolish.

In the monumental battle unfolding before her, wanting to snatch the Pure Spirit Flower with mere Internal Qi cultivation seemed a bit far-fetched.

It was even exaggerated to the point of being considered a dream.

Just by looking at the frightening power and destructive force in front of her, Bai Qing was beginning to doubt her life choices.

If it were not for some extent, tying Empress Luo Shan's fate to hers, she deeply suspected whether Empress Luo Shan had sent her to her death.

"Don't worry."

Empress Luo Shan reassured her, "Although it's difficult, there is still a chance."

"Our fates are connected, I wouldn't just let you go and die in vain."

"These warriors are of low level, they haven't even touched the realm of divine arts, with my skills, as long as I seize the opportunity, there is still a glimmer of hope."

"Let's hope so."

Bai Qing nodded, unable to do anything but reluctantly believe.

Apart from that, she had no other options.

After putting aside her worries, she continued to observe the melee in front of her.

But in addition to watching the battle, she also looked around, as if searching for a certain figure.

In such a lively melee, she believed that person must be observing from the sidelines and wouldn't miss such a good opportunity.

But to her disappointment, it seemed that person was hiding too well, even after scanning the surroundings, she could not spot their figure.

"What's wrong?"

Liang Yao looked at Chen An who had yawned several times in confusion.

"Nothing, maybe just not feeling well."

Chen An waved his hand, indicating that he was fine, but his gaze was fixed on Bai Qing, observing her actions.

Seeing Bai Qing constantly looking around, he naturally knew why she was doing so, finding it somewhat amusing and even letting out a smile.

But to prevent Liang Yao from noticing, he quickly shifted his gaze forward, watching the ongoing battle.

The battle was still raging.

Boom!

A heavy sound rang out.

A Qi Gathering cultivator from the Cao family retreated on the spot, struck by the Bai family master and heavily injured with just one slap.

Yes, just one slap.

To everyone's surprise, the result of this small skirmish was that the Bai family was actually gaining the upper hand.

Before the fight, everyone thought that the Bai family would be at a disadvantage.

After all, there were ten Qi Gathering cultivators forming an alliance in front of them.

And when all the members of the Bai family were added up, there were only five Qi Gathering cultivators.

Five versus ten, advantage to us!

However, once the actual battle began, they discovered that things were not as they had anticipated.

The situation seemed to be completely different.

Clearly being outnumbered five to ten, the Bai family was still at a disadvantage, constantly being pressured and attacked.

The reason for this was the overwhelming strength of the Bai family master.

This Bai family master single-handedly took on five Qi Gathering cultivators and managed to defeat all of them in a moment.

Crushing five Qi Gathering cultivators with just one person!

This terrifying level of strength left even Chen An momentarily stunned.

He began to doubt himself, wondering if he had been as fierce as this when he was at the Qi Gathering stage?

It seemed that it wasn't the case.

At the peak of the Qi Gathering stage, he could handle a one-on-five situation, but to crush five Qi Gathering cultivators the way the Bai family master did, was something that was not likely possible.

Not only was it impossible to defeat them, but if those five Qi Gathering cultivators were a bit stronger, with a few more experts among them, he would probably have to fight a prolonged battle.

After all, even at the peak of the Qi Gathering stage, it was still the Qi Gathering stage, there was only a difference in strength rather than a qualitative change.

So the question arose.

Why was the Bai family master so powerful compared to other Qi Gathering cultivators?

The answer was soon revealed.

In front of them, the final Qi Gathering cultivator was repelled by a single palm strike from the Bai family master, who slowly raised his head.

Unknowingly, his eyes turned into a deep red, emanating a menacing aura that made people shiver.

Witnessing this scene, those who were knowledgeable began to gasp.

"Reverse Blood Pill."

The face of a heavily injured Qi Gathering cultivator from the Cao family turned pale, looking at the dramatically changed Bai family master in front of him, his arms beginning to tremble, "You actually have such a unique pill."

"Those who consume the Reverse Blood Pill will lose at least ten years of their lifespan."

Someone gritted their teeth, "You knew we were coming from the beginning, so you deliberately took this pill and waited for us to come to you?"
