Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 548 - 177: The Unrivaled Sea Calm, The Falling Petals of the White Lotus Demoness

The quiet, tranquil ocean painted undulating and entwined waves in mid-air, and the man hidden within them seemed like the Sea God, revealing a massive and indistinct outline in mid-air. With just a push of his hand, he transformed into an unstoppable force of immense power.

Li Yuan’s Sea Calm Blade had never truly been displayed before outsiders.

In the eyes of the Barbarian who never studied martial skills, he only appeared as powerful, but not skilled in sword technique.

But Bai Douqi was different from the Barbarian.

He recognized the value.

Before him, everything disappeared, leaving only those two fingers.

Yet those fingers vanished too, turning into a knife.

A knife that contained the ocean.

The blade had yet to arrive, but its aura shattered all the destructive vibes emanating from Bai Douqi.

His mind spun rapidly, staring intently at the blade.

This blade did not stir up the slightest breeze or waves, nor did it allow any power to escape, yet intrinsically... it was boundless.

Sweat poured down Bai Douqi’s face as he raised his hand, preparing to act, but in the next instant, the simple-minded youngster suddenly accelerated.

One slash westward, and his two fingers touched Bai Douqi’s forehead, yet he felt no pain. It was the ultimate control of power, like having Mount Tai pressing down on him, but if it did not press down, he couldn’t feel even an ant’s weight.

Time seemed to stand still.

In the next moment, a "snip snip snip" sound emerged.

As it turned out, after Li Yuan’s fingers touched Bai Douqi’s forehead, they moved upwards, clipping a small bunch of hair as if with a barber’s clipper.

The hair floated gently down, falling in front of Bai Douqi’s stunned face, landing in the damp earth.

"Boring, boring, ah ah ah!!"

The simple-minded youngster suddenly clutched his head, leaping, wailing in agony, rushing onto the rooftop.

Meanwhile, Bai Douqi stood drenched, motionless.

A few breaths later, he gasped for air, chest heaving like a drowning man.

White Spirit Water looked at his state, her eyes for the first time showing true shock.

Bai Douqi, of course, was a fake name.

The man she had brought was her partner, whose real name was Han Tong’Er, the foremost Elder of the Red Lotus Sect, only a step away from the Fourth Grade.

Anyone capable of defeating him could only be a Fourth Grade existence.

Could it be that the man called Dian Wei is actually Fourth Grade!

An independent Fourth Grade practitioner, yet such a simpleton.

White Spirit Water glanced at the bald-headed giant sulking on the rooftop, and suddenly said, "Brother, you’re tired, go indoors and rest early, I’ll accompany Brother Dian."

Having said this, White Spirit Water gracefully leapt up, landing on the rooftop.

The simple-minded youngster knew nothing; otherwise, anyone with a normal brain would think she and Bai Douqi were not ordinary people.

White Spirit Water sat beside Li Yuan, gently saying, "Sorry, I believed my brother could..."

"Humph!"

The burly bald man turned away with a grumble, ignoring the woman.

White Spirit Water didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; it was her first time encountering such a peculiar man.

She speculated that the man’s acquired inheritance and practiced Divine Technique were probably skills that would dull one’s mind.

Cultivating Divine Techniques and experiencing a drastic change in disposition was not unusual.

She tugged on Li Yuan’s sleeve from behind and apologetically said, "I’m sorry, really sorry, but tomorrow... I will take you to the Divine Wood Hall. Qing Hancheng is far stronger than my brother."

"That’s more like it."

The bald man was appeased.

At dawn, the man’s snoring was like thunder.

White Spirit Water and Han Tong’Er met in the moonlit old forest outside the house.

The two did not speak, merely exchanged notes, sharing information.

White Spirit Water wrote: ’At night, why didn’t you make a move?’

Han Tong’Er wrote: ’He’s too terrifying. If I were utterly ignorant, I might have acted without restraint, but I could see his frightening nature. By the time I wanted to respond, it was too late.’

White Spirit Water: ...

Han Tong’Er wrote: ’Are you sure he didn’t use Evil Ghost Tools to disguise himself?’

White Spirit Water wrote: ’Certain, his Yang Qi was so abundant it seemed like a mighty river, what Evil Ghost Tool could achieve that?’

Han Tong’Er nodded; he felt it too.

After a long pause, he wrote: ’Perhaps a monstrous existence not seen in a millennium has crossed our path. I am unworthy to measure him.’

Suddenly, his eyes flashed with fervor, and he wrote: ’Saintess, can you tame him? As long as you tame him alone, that would suffice.’

Finishing this sentence, he felt it inappropriate, crumpled the paper into a ball, and it instantly burned to ashes.

He wrote again: ’Saintess, can you make him fall in love with you, and then even if you only stay by his side as his wife, never concerned with anything else, it would be a significant achievement for our Lotus Sect. You could pretend to be the one he adores—a lifelong act.’

White Spirit Water hesitated for a moment, then wrote: ’I don’t know. I’ve never encountered someone like him. In fact, I wonder if there’s anyone like him left in this world.’

Han Tong’Er wrote: ’Don’t let him search for Qing Hancheng. If he enters the Divine Wood Hall, I fear he won’t come out again.’

White Spirit Water’s enchanting eyes shifted as if contemplating something.

Han Tong’Er continued writing: "Take him south, straight to the Lotus Sect. I will immediately notify the Sect Leader. With the Sect Leader present, it will be enough for this Martial Fool to have his fill. We wouldn’t have deceived him."

White Spirit Water continued to ponder.

Her long legs elegantly wrapped in rustic pants, and her bright yet melancholic eyes wandered absentmindedly.

She was facing her greatest challenge.

Therefore, she had to be exceedingly cautious.

After a long time, she wrote: ’Tomorrow morning, I’ll head out... You guide him, show him the way south. After that, you shouldn’t intervene.’
