631: Chapter 631 You have the Kunlun Bai family, I have Ye Chen!

"Impossible!"

Bai Sanlong stared fixedly at Bai Shanshan, his expression shifting from shock to horror, and then from horror to disbelief.

"You... what on earth did you feed her?"

He couldn't help but be shocked!

This damn well defied the basic laws of cultivation!

Even the direct descendants of the Bai family in the Kunlun Ruins, who were piled with heavenly treasures from a young age, couldn't possibly skyrocket from the Early Heaven Realm all the way to the Tianyi Realm in just half a cup of tea's time.

This wasn't just "fast" anymore!

This was blatant cheating!

It felt like someone using magic to toy with a Muggle!

Ye Chen took back the shanhai bottle and casually tucked it into his robe.

"Why don't you test her power and see if it's real..."

"Then you'll know, won't you?"

Bai Sanlong's breath hitched.

Test her?

He had felt the aura that erupted when Bai Shanshan broke through very clearly.

It wasn't a hollow or a fake realm forced upward by external power; it was a Tianyi Realm with a solid foundation.

In fact...

It was even a few points stronger than an ordinary Tianyi Realm.

This was also the thing he found most inconceivable!

Countless thoughts flashed through Bai Sanlong's mind, eventually all converging on that jade bottle.

That bottle.

It must be that bottle's doing!

A hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

If he could get his hands on that thing, wouldn't he be able to step into the Golden Core stage?

Even if he couldn't control it himself, if the Bai family found out, wouldn't they give him some resources?

At the thought of this.

His heart beat like a drum.

But he quickly suppressed it.

Now was not the time to think about such things.

Because...

Bai Shanshan opened her eyes.

Those eyes were bright and clear, but unlike before...

Deep in those eyes, there was a sharp glint.

Like a sword drawn from its scabbard.

Bai Shanshan flexed her wrists, her joints letting out crisp cracking sounds.

"Ye Chen, am I really in the Tianyi Realm now?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Bai Shanshan grew excited, her gaze then landing on Bai Sanlong.

"Now it's fine, I can beat you up."

Before her voice had even faded.

A majestic Mental Power erupted from her body, spreading in all directions like an invisible wave.

The air in the living room suddenly froze.

Coffee table fragments! Sofa cushions! Decorative paintings on the wall! The crystal chandelier on the ceiling...

Everything was lifted by an invisible force at this moment, suspended in mid-air.

Bai Sanlong's face changed drastically.

"This is... Mental Power Control?!"

He instinctively took a step back.

Mental Power.

That was an extremely rare power in the Cultivator system, one in ten thousand.

People with Mental Power could manipulate objects, influence hearts, and even directly attack the enemy's soul.

This kind of talent was so rare that even in the entire Kunlun Ruins, few people could be found with it.

And Bai Shanshan...

She was a Mental Power user?

No.

That's not right.

It was Ye Chen's bottle that had boosted her Mental Power along with her realm!

No wonder Ye Chen's strength improved so quickly!

If combined with that bottle, then everything makes sense!!!

This thought flashed through Bai Sanlong's mind, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but seep from his back.

But Bai Shanshan didn't give him any more time to think.

She waved her right hand.

The fragments and clutter suspended in the air shot toward Bai Sanlong like a torrential rain.

Broken glass, wood chips, metal decorations, ceramic ornaments...

They covered the sky and earth, dense and numerous, sealing off all of Bai Sanlong's space to dodge.

Bai Sanlong took a deep breath and drew a circle in front of him with both hands.

A white True Qi barrier emerged in his palms, enveloping his entire person.

"Boom boom boom—"

The fragments hit the barrier, producing a dense series of explosions.

The glass exploded into powder, the wood chips turned to dust, the metal decorations were bounced away, and the ceramic ornaments shattered into pieces.

Dust filled the air.

Debris splattered everywhere.

Bai Sanlong stood in place, motionless.

But his face had turned completely dark.

"Third Sister!"

"Are you serious about attacking me?"

"Once we continue..."

"There's no turning back for us!"

Bai Shanshan looked at him, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly: "Do I look like I'm joking?"

She paused.

She thrust out both hands, her ten fingers spread wide.

The scattered fragments on the ground floated up again, in greater numbers and at a faster speed than before.

And...

This time, it wasn't just fragments.

The carpet beneath Bai Sanlong's feet suddenly flipped up, slapping toward his face.

The floor lamps on both sides were uprooted and smashed toward him.

Even the decorative copper nails embedded in the wall behind him detached themselves, shooting toward his back like rows of bullets.

Up, down, left, right—from all directions.

Bai Sanlong let out a violent shout, and his True Qi barrier expanded again.

But while he could block the attacks, he couldn't block Bai Shanshan's tide-like, continuous Mental Power suppression.

With every collision, his True Qi barrier would tremble.

With every tremble, his True Qi would be depleted a bit more.

One waxes as the other wanes.

A deep chill welled up in the bottom of Bai Sanlong's heart.

Not long ago, Bai Shanshan was just a junior in the Early Heaven Realm who didn't even have the right to speak in front of him.

He could even mock her from a height, saying she would never touch the threshold of the Tianyi Realm in her life.

But now?

How long had it been?

Not only had Bai Shanshan stepped into the Tianyi Realm, but her Mental Power was also strong enough to confront him head-on.

This kind of gap...

This kind of disparity...

Bai Sanlong grit his teeth and shook those stray thoughts out of his mind.

"Third Sister, you have indeed made me see you in a new light."

He clapped his hands together, and the True Qi barrier suddenly contracted, turning into a sharp palm wind that struck toward Bai Shanshan.

"But did you think you could win against me just like this?"

Bai Shanshan neither dodged nor avoided, crossing her hands in front of her as her Mental Power condensed into an invisible shield.

"Boom!"

Palm wind collides with shield， Air blasts spread。

Bai Shanshan took two steps back but quickly stabilized herself.

Bai Sanlong wasn't much better off; two cracks opened in the marble floor beneath his feet.

Their eyes met.

The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Bai Wanqing stood to the side, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes, not daring to even breathe.

She knew her sister had become stronger, but she hadn't expected her to be this strong.

To actually be able to fight to a draw with Bai Sanlong, who had been the family head for decades?

No...

It wasn't a draw.

Bai Wanqing carefully observed their states and suddenly realized...

Although Bai Shanshan had retreated two steps, her breath was steady and her expression was normal.

Whereas beneath Bai Sanlong's feet, those two cracks extended for several meters, and his breathing was a bit more hurried than before.

This meant...

Bai Shanshan's power had already faintly surpassed Bai Sanlong's!

Bai Sanlong clearly realized this too.

He stared fixedly at Bai Shanshan, the look in his eyes complex to the extreme.

Wariness.

Unwillingness.

Anger.

And a hint of...

Fear that even he himself was unwilling to admit.

"Third Sister, you have indeed become stronger."

Bai Sanlong took a deep breath, his voice low.

"But do you think you can run wild in the Bai family just like this?"

"Don't forget, this is the Capital City, the Bai family's territory."

"Even if your strength is equal to mine, can you fight the entire Bai family behind me?"

Bai Shanshan looked at him and laughed.

That smile carried a bit of mockery and a bit of disdain: "Bai Sanlong, don't you feel guilty saying that?"

Bai Sanlong's face stiffened.

Bai Shanshan continued.

"The entire Bai family behind you?"

"You and I fighting is our business."

"But if you're going to drag in the entire Bai family, then I'll have to drag in another person."

Saying this.

She pointed at Ye Chen, who was watching the show from the side. "You have the Bai family, I have Ye Chen. Shall we see whose wrist is stronger?"

Bai Sanlong: "..."

Good grief!

She was directly using Ye Chen to pressure him???

He instinctively looked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen had his hands in his pockets, leaning against the doorframe with an expression as if none of this concerned him.

But those eyes gave him a faint glance.

Bai Sanlong's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

This kid...

Just how strong was he?

Bai Chi went to get reinforcements—could they really use firepower to suppress him?

The confidence he had at the beginning was now dying out one by one...

Because Ye Chen was truly a variable!

Bai Sanlong swallowed hard, his gaze fixed on Ye Chen: "You... also want to intervene?"

Ye Chen leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, and let out a light chuckle upon hearing this.

"Isn't it perfectly reasonable for me to intervene?"

Bai Sanlong couldn't hold it in anymore, his face turning flush red: "You're not even a member of my Bai family, why are you intervening? This is my Bai family's internal matter!"

Ye Chen, however, looked completely unruffled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Bai Shanshan is a Tianyi Realm expert I personally trained. If she fights you, that's a contest between siblings, and I can stay out of it."

"If she gets beaten up by you, it's just her lack of skill, being beaten by her own elder brother."

"But if it escalates to the Bai family, then I have to stand up for my disciple."

"Otherwise, how would the world view me as a master?"

He stood up straight, pulled his hands out of his pockets, and looked down at Bai Sanlong.

"You are the head of the Bai family; you should understand this logic, right?"

Bai Sanlong's face turned completely black.

As black as the bottom of a pot.

Indeed!

It was perfectly logical!

He had forcibly raised Bai Shanshan from a junior in the Early Heaven Realm to the Tianyi Realm—who could say he wasn't qualified?

Say Ye Chen was meddling?

But he said he wouldn't care if it was a sibling rivalry, only if the Bai family got involved.

His words were airtight; he didn't even have room to argue!
