Chapter 158 Intimidating the Disciples of the Intercepting Sect
At this moment, Duobao finally understood that even if they all joined forces, there was absolutely no way they could defeat Taibai.
Seeing that the Four Symbols Formation protecting everyone was on the verge of collapse, Duobao's last bit of luck also dissipated.
He looked around and saw that many of his junior brothers and sisters, whose cultivation was still shallow, were pale and swaying. If Taibai's attack really landed, they would surely be doomed.
Thinking of this, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart, and he had no choice but to abandon all pretense and calculation.
"Please, Senior Brother, show mercy! All the blame, no matter what, rests entirely on my shoulders!"
"Senior Brother, please don't fight anymore, otherwise... otherwise it might endanger the lives of all our fellow disciples!"
His words, spoken in haste, were heard by the struggling disciples of the Jie Sect as a testament to their senior brother's concern for his fellow disciples even in times of crisis.
For a moment, many people looked at Duobao with more gratitude and recognition, while their fear and resentment towards the white-clad figure in the air deepened.
However, Taibai's feelings at this moment were completely different from those of the others.
To him, Duobao's words were not a genuine plea for mercy, but rather an attempt to win people's hearts and consolidate his position among the disciples.
Upon thinking of this, the coldness in Taibai's eyes intensified.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, pressed them down in mid-air, and the brilliance of the Five Elements Laws suddenly intensified, causing the Geng Metal longsword that resonated with it to become even heavier.
"Click."
The already precarious Four Symbols Formation could no longer withstand the pressure, and its light instantly dissipated.
Duobao and the others who were in charge of the formation felt as if they had been hit hard. They groaned and their energy waned.
The other disciples collapsed to the ground, unable to muster even the slightest strength to fly.
But Taibai doesn't seem to have any intention of stopping there.
High above, the power of the Five Elements did not fall to harm anyone; instead, it rapidly condensed and transformed into countless small swords.
These small swords, only about a foot long, were pointed directly at the slumped group below, their sharp killing intent locking onto every breath.
Duobao and his disciples were enveloped by this pure killing intent, feeling as if their souls were about to be frozen, and their hearts were filled with coldness.
"This disciple is willing to bear all the consequences! Whether you kill me or punish me, I will leave it to you, Senior Brother. I only beg you to forgive the other disciples!"
Duobao knelt down with a thud, touched his head to the ground, and kowtowed heavily, his voice mournful.
Just then, the Golden Spirit Mother and her companions, who had just left, hurriedly returned.
When they saw this scene, they were all horrified.
"Senior Brother, no! Even if they have committed wrongdoings, they don't deserve to die! We beg you, Senior Brother, to withdraw your supernatural powers and spare their lives!"
However, Li Bai seemed to ignore their pleas.
The countless tiny swords of law hanging above everyone's heads not only did not dissipate, but their descent accelerated suddenly.
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The sharp, piercing sounds of air being torn apart blended together as countless small swords transformed into five-colored streaks of light, shooting rapidly towards the disciples of the Jie Sect below.
"Ah! Taibai! You have harmed your fellow disciples; you are unworthy to be the senior brother of my Jie Sect!"
"Teacher! Teacher, save me! Your disciple is unwilling, unwilling to accept this!"
"Master Tongtian! Open your eyes and look! Look at these poor disciples!"
……
In an instant, screams, shrill cries, desperate sobs, and pleas for help rose and fell in waves.
Golden Spirit Mother and the others watched helplessly as countless fellow disciples were engulfed by the five-colored sword light, feeling as if all their strength had been instantly drained. Local.
The rain of swords came quickly and went quickly.
As the last glimmer of light faded, the suffocating screams and curses abruptly ceased, leaving the arena in deathly silence.
A moment later, the disciples who had been pierced by thousands of swords were seen swaying as they stood up again.
Their faces were filled with bewilderment and disbelief at surviving such an ordeal. They instinctively touched their bodies, only to find that they had no injuries whatsoever.
Only now did they realize the truth.
Taibai's terrifying attack just now was merely a deterrent.
The countless small swords of law striking the body brought only a terrifying experience akin to being on the verge of death.
But because the experience of death was so real, they knew they were going to die, and driven by fear and resentment, they all spoke without thinking and insulted Taibai.
Having escaped death, I am relieved but also worried that Taibai will settle scores with me later.
"Senior Brother, we know we were wrong! What we said just now was unintentional and not what we truly meant. We beg you to forgive us, out of our camaraderie as fellow disciples..."
The disciples fell silent, none daring to speak first. In the end, Duobao mustered his courage and, on behalf of everyone, begged for mercy in a trembling voice.
However, before he could finish speaking, Taibai indifferently raised his hand, stopping him from speaking.
"Enough with the nonsense. Qiu Shou Xian defied orders and resisted arrest, so his crime is compounded, and the number of lashes will be increased by two hundred."
"From this day forward, anyone who disobeys orders, refuses arrest, or resists will have their cultivation revoked, be expelled from the Jie Sect, and never be recorded again."
After saying that, he didn't look at the crowd again.
Upon hearing Taibai's words, the disciples felt relieved and secretly rejoiced.
Since the senior brother was still willing to speak out and rebuke, it meant that he wouldn't become the chicken used as a warning to everyone.
"Junior Sister Jinling, we need to hurry. After the matter on Jin'ao Island is settled, the disciples of the Jie Sect scattered throughout the prehistoric world also need to be disciplined and reorganized one by one."
Golden Spirit Mother bowed and replied, "Please rest assured, Senior Brother, this disciple will certainly not fail in my mission."
Taibai nodded slightly, said no more, and directly reached out and grabbed Duobao, who was kneeling on one knee, and transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for Biyou Palace.
As he approached the palace gate, he unceremoniously tossed Duobao into the hall, and in a flash, he was already seated on that quiet prayer mat.
He then waved his sleeve, and an invisible barrier instantly enveloped the entire Biyou Palace, isolating it from all sounds.
Duobao was thrown to the ground. Seeing Taibai sealing off the palace, his heart sank and a sense of fear arose in his heart.
Taibai did not rush to speak, but simply closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, as if in deep meditation, letting the silence spread in the empty hall.
An unknown amount of time passed, and the palace was deathly silent, except for the cold sweat that trickled down Duobao's forehead, splashing tiny wet marks on the ground.
Although he was certain that his senior brother would never kill a fellow disciple, the oppressive silence was more unsettling than facing a blade directly.
After a while, Duobao finally couldn't hold on any longer, and collapsed to his knees, his voice hoarse:
"This disciple knows his mistake and begs for punishment from Senior Brother."
Taibai slowly opened his eyes and said calmly, "Oh? What's wrong with that?"
In truth, Duobao was not truly convinced.
In his view, as the second senior brother of the Jie Sect, it was his duty to protect his junior brother.
But he still gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "This disciple should not have laid a hand on my senior brother. I am willing to accept punishment."
Taibai sensed Duobao's stubbornness and knew that his junior brother had not yet realized his mistake, but instead believed that protecting his own was the right thing to do.
"Hmph! Stubborn fool! How could your teacher have taken in such an idiot like you back then!"
Taibai suddenly flew into a rage, and his immense magical power erupted with his fury, sending Duobao flying several feet away, crashing heavily into a palace pillar.
