Chapter 194: Chapter 192 Li Bai’s Power of Word Spirit

"Yo—ho!"

A clear whistle came from the mountain, followed by a graceful and dignified figure landing in front of Vice Director Liu’s vehicle, blocking numerous escaping tourists behind them.

Yun Qiuce seemed to have seen a savior and shouted loudly, "Mr. Li Bai—super awesome, give a shoutout to him, kill them all!"

Vice Director Liu looked bewildered, "Huh? Who is he?"

"It’s Li Bai, yes, the Li Bai from the textbooks. Why do you look like that? He’s not a ghost, but of course, he’s dead. Isn’t he so awesome that he ascended to heaven as an immortal?" Yun Qiuce bragged, even though it had nothing to do with him, while urging Vice Director Liu to join his camp.

Vice Director Liu didn’t want to think too much either, raising his arm to call out, "Big Brother Li Bai, save us!"

Even though he and the other passengers were already seated in the vehicle, it hadn’t started—on one hand, there was the lesson from the previous bus, and they couldn’t outrun it. On the other hand, human curiosity was at play, not wanting to miss the spectacle even at the risk of their lives.

The other tourists couldn’t make sense of the situation. They thought this person was nicknamed Li Bai and seemed like a master. As long as he could kill those ghost cavalry, it wouldn’t matter if he were called Li Bai or the Jade Emperor, so they also shouted, "Big brother, kill them."

"Master, go for it, I’ll open a live stream for you."

"Master, I love you, you are our savior!"

...

Li Bai pressed his hand down slightly, seeming to hint that although this enthusiastic admiration was appreciated, he couldn’t show it too openly, and said in a deep voice, "They’re just some corpse ghosts, watch how I handle them."

Saying that, he raised the Mo Blade in his hand.

"Good, good!" The tourists clapped and cheered.

At this moment, the Corpse Ghost Cavalry galloping from beyond the horizon had charged over.

Seeing Li Bai raise the Mo Blade in his hand, the general of the Corpse Ghost Cavalry tightened the reins, and the warhorse beneath him immediately reared and came to a sudden halt. The soldiers behind, well-trained, also tightened their reins simultaneously.

Through the general’s helmet, an ashen face could vaguely be seen, with gray-blue veins crisscrossing it, and those pale eyes without pupils looked like inorganic glass, staring directly at Li Bai.

Then, with a command, the cavalry quickly formed an attack formation. The archers retreated, with cavalry holding long spears arranged at the front.

With another command, all the cavalry raised their weapons high.

"Hum—ha!" A majestic and domineering chorus resounded in the ranks, then all the weapons were leveled, the long spears and Mo Blades sharp and chilling like a thicket, aimed straight at Li Bai.

In such a comparison, even Li Bai felt that the Mo Blade in his hand was outclassed in terms of momentum.

The tourists also felt the same, with surprise, excitement, and enthusiasm solidifying on their faces.

"Can he do it?"

"This guy dresses weird, doesn’t seem reliable."

"Could he be a web celebrity just here to show off?"

...

Whispers came from behind.

Although Li Bai did not understand the term "web celebrity," he sensed everyone’s skepticism towards him.

This was intolerable for an "Exiled Immortal"!

So he re-sheathed the Mo Blade.

With one hand behind his back, he assumed the stance of a peerless hero.

Yun Qiuce couldn’t help but ask, "Master, are you not up to it? If not, get on the vehicle and escape with us."

Li Bai glanced back at him disdainfully, "I once asked the Way on Zhongnan Mountain, today I’ll show you the Tenth Level of Taoist realms with your own eyes."

Vice Director Liu quietly asked, "What did he say?"

"It means he’s very impressive."

"Oh." The two hastily stopped talking.

Within the Corpse Ghost Cavalry, the general swung his sword, and the front two rows of cavalry clamped their legs against their horses’ sides, the warhorses neighed as they charged at Li Bai.

"First Layer, gentleman’s friendship! The bonds of the dead cavalry aren’t strong at all."

Li Bai shouted deeply, and inexplicably, a sentence formed the Power of Word Spirit that spread explosively.

The perfectly synchronized Corpse Ghost Cavalry instantly fell into disarray, with some horses starting to kick at their neighboring horses, causing the two to fight, and some cavalrymen accidentally cutting a comrade with their Mo Blade, leading to fighting atop their mounts...

The charging soldiers were thrown into chaos mid-charge, halted in their tracks.

The general at the back shouted angrily, a horn sounded in the army, and some of the charging cavalry seemed to regain their senses, turning their horses to prepare to attack Li Bai again.

Li Bai casually said, "Third Layer, knowing the unchangeable and accepting it as fate! I bet you don’t want to listen to him!"

As his words fell, the Power of Word Spirit spread, causing the once-awakened charging cavalry to again turn their horses and start quarreling among themselves.

Yun Qiuce was stunned, "Oh my, can it be done like this!"

He knew there was a mystical technique called word spirit, but he didn’t know it could be used like Mr. Li Bai did!

The general saw this, slightly raising his head, deep gray-white pupils releasing a profound and ruthless killing intent, then shouted again.

Another team of cavalry charged out, galloping ferociously, unhesitatingly slashing down the first team of charging cavalry, instantly invigorating the spirits of the cavalry behind them, who all gripped their weapons and shouted.

The cavalry’s morale was once again boosted!

Yun Qiuce gathered his hands, shouting to Li Bai, "Master, capture the leader first to capture the army, that general is a formidable character."

"Makes sense." Li Bai said, then settled his qi into his dantian and shouted loudly:

"Fifth Level: The utmost joy is without joy, the utmost honor is without honor. All of the general’s honors are in vain."

The general already discerned Li Bai using the Power of Word Spirit. As soon as Li Bai spoke, he immediately replied with a roar.

Two waves of energy collided in midair, canceling each other out.

Li Bai’s Power of Word Spirit only affected some of the cavalry. Doubt rolled through the eyes of these cavalrymen towards the general; some even lowered their weapons, no longer heeding him.

The general, enraged, shouted furiously, and the cavalry dispersed, making way. The general clamped his horse’s belly and galloped towards Li Bai, waving a long saber that reflected a sharp, snowy light, akin to a meteor streaking across the sky, aiming to chop down on Li Bai’s head.

"Master, be careful!!!" Yun Qiuce yelled in fright.

Li Bai drew his Mo Blade, standing tall like a pine, and shouted angrily: "Tenth Level: None in the world can contend with its beauty! Combat power increase tenfold!"

Instantly, a visible flow of spiritual power circulated around him, and the aura emanating from him suddenly became grim and fierce, bringing down a slash on the charging warhorse.

Two horse hooves were severed in response, turning to powder the moment they hit the ground. The general also fell from his steed. With armor to protect him, he didn’t turn to powder but rolled a few times, nimbly getting up, wielding a long saber, and charging at Li Bai.

Li Bai leaped, his Mo Blade tracing a beautiful arc in the air, like an arrow, like a meteor, like a swift cloud, instantly meeting the general’s long saber, sparking an intense flurry of sparks, then deftly landed, standing steadily, gazing forward.

The spectators were all unsure what had just transpired.

Vice Director Liu whispered, "What’s happening, why isn’t anyone moving?"

As he spoke, the general roared to the sky, and a deep and narrow wound burst open at his neck, sending his head crashing heavily to the ground.

"Holy crap, can it be done like this?!" Yun Qiuce excitedly grabbed Vice Director Liu, shaking him hard, "Awesome!!! Doesn’t it remind you of that poem he wrote, something about ’killing a man in ten steps’...?"

Vice Director Liu looked bewildered, "How would I know?"

"Pfft, uneducated!"

Vice Director Liu, feeling mocked, mumbled quietly, "You only know that one line!"
