The Side Character Who Wins by Doing Nothing

In a flash, Bai Heng had to abandon his attack on Duan Xingyun, whirling around to retreat at top speed.

Duan Xingyun got a moment’s respite, but he didn’t stop. His hands formed a seal, and he immediately sent a Spell flying toward Bai Heng.

Bai Heng’s evasion had put some distance between him and the others. Lu Sangjiu knew this was the chance she had been waiting for!

"Hold him off for five breaths! Don’t let him get close!"

Lu Sangjiu shouted, swiftly summoning the Domination Map Blade and sending it to help the others hold off Bai Heng. Meanwhile, Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi began to converge in each of her hands.

Killing Bai Heng required charging her power for at least five breaths. That might sound short, but in that time, Bai Heng could kill Lu Sangjiu dozens of times over.

Lu Sangjiu was now entrusting her life to the others. If they could hold him off for five breaths, everyone would survive.

If they couldn’t, they would all die here.

Lu Sangjiu closed her eyes. ’It’s all or nothing!’

Seeing the Demonic Qi surging in Lu Sangjiu’s hands, Bai Heng’s pupils shrank. His eyes filled with utter shock.

But he had no time to ponder how Lu Sangjiu was capable of Immortal Demon Dual Cultivation. He could clearly feel the terrifying power she was brewing!

’I can’t let her unleash it... I have to kill her!’

A crazed light flickered in Bai Heng’s eyes. He stopped dodging, activating his various Defense Treasures and allowing Duan Xingyun’s Spell to strike him.

He then raised his hand, pointing his Spirit Sword directly at Lu Sangjiu. "Die!"

Duan Xingyun’s pupils shrank. With no time to use a defensive technique, he could only activate his own defenses and throw himself in front of Lu Sangjiu, blocking the fatal blow with his body!

"PFFT!"

Both men spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time, but Bai Heng was clearly far less injured than Duan Xingyun. After all, with a master in the Body Integration Realm and a grandmaster in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he was certainly not lacking in Magic Treasures.

Bai Heng staggered back about three steps, spitting blood, but the Domination Map Blade seized the opportunity to rush in for a follow-up strike!

However, the Defense Treasure Bai Heng wore was clearly not his only one. The Domination Map Blade’s follow-up attack was also ineffective. Instead, Bai Heng struck its body, sending it flying until it embedded itself deep into the rock wall.

No matter how powerful the Domination Map Blade was, its true strength could only be unleashed by a powerful wielder.

Fighting on its own, its power was severely limited. After taking a blow like that from Bai Heng, its blade dimmed, clearly losing its ability to fight for the moment.

Meanwhile, Duan Xingyun had been sent flying several meters, landing right beside Lu Sangjiu.

"Master!" Li Qiancheng and the others cried out in alarm, but they didn’t have a moment to spare for Duan Xingyun.

The moment Bai Heng regained his footing, he unhesitatingly launched another strike at Lu Sangjiu and Duan Xingyun!

If this blow landed, the two of them would undoubtedly die together.

Li Qiancheng’s Spiritual Energy erupted from his body. His Early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation soared, instantly surging to the Initial Stage of Divinity Transformation.

Clearly, he had used some kind of Secret Technique to temporarily boost his cultivation.

Even so, his power was still far from enough, but without a hint of hesitation, he unleashed a blow with all his might to block the sword strike!

At the same time, Shen Yuzhao’s gaze hardened. The aura around him surged as well, and blue flames engulfed his entire body, scorching his own skin red and black.

Yet there was no pain on his face, only unwavering resolve as he unleashed the most powerful sword strike of his life!

BOOM!

In an instant, their techniques collided, and the immense energy threw them all back.

Li Qiancheng fell to the ground. In a flash, his black hair turned completely white, and his handsome face filled with wrinkles, making him look like a man on the verge of death!

Evidently, the secret technique he used to temporarily boost his cultivation came at the cost of his lifespan, and he had burned nearly all of it!

Shen Yuzhao was charred black from head to toe. He had forcibly channeled the full power of his Abnormal Fire, and the backlash had burned him to a crisp. He lay on the ground like a piece of charcoal, barely breathing.

Their combined attack, a move that practically traded their lives for his, had indeed shattered Bai Heng’s strike and even managed to wound him.

But... it was nowhere near enough to take him out of the fight!

Bai Heng staggered to his feet, a vicious glint in his eyes. "What a pity... You were still one breath short!"

He raised his sword, his face contorted in a savage grin. "This time, let’s see who can stop me!"

Luo Linlang looked at the tragic state of her companions, tears streaming from her eyes as if of their own accord.

She had just used the Word Spirit Technique once, and her body was already suffering from the backlash. She could only watch as her master and the others fell one by one to Bai Heng, completely unable to help.

But now that everyone else had fallen, she still used her frail body to resolutely stand before Lu Sangjiu. A terrifying Rule Power began to circulate around her.

"I say, Bai Heng... stop!"

With every word that left her lips, a new gash would split open on Luo Linlang’s body, oozing crimson blood.

By the time she finished the sentence, her entire body was covered in a dense network of cracks, turning her into a figure of blood.

Clearly, for a Golden Core Stage cultivator like Luo Linlang, using the Word Spirit Technique on a Divinity Transformation Stage expert approaching the Body Integration Realm was an unbearable burden, even for a simple command to pause.

But she had succeeded. The Rule Power bound Bai Heng. It only held him for a single breath, but... that was enough!

Luo Linlang watched as Lu Sangjiu’s eyes snapped open. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and then her body collapsed.

The Demonic Qi and Spiritual Energy in Lu Sangjiu’s hands were forcibly compressed, creating a ball of frenzied power that shot straight toward Bai Heng!

Terror filled Bai Heng’s eyes. He wanted to flee, but under the terrifying force, the very space around him seemed to compress, rooting him to the spot!

"No... No!"

The frenzied power engulfed Bai Heng. Even though he was some distance away from Lu Sangjiu and the others, the shockwave from the explosion inevitably washed over them.

Lu Sangjiu used the last of her strength to desperately shield everyone. Then, her vision went black, and she collapsed into unconsciousness.

However, the explosion also struck the cliff where they stood. The ground suddenly split apart, and everyone, along with the chunk of earth they were on, plunged downward!

Far below the cliff, countless flowers and plants wreathed in black Demonic Qi seemed to sense something. In unison, they stirred, all turning to look upward as they revealed their hidden fangs...

But just as their bodies were about to fall among the flora, a blade surging with Demonic Qi instantly shot out and caught them!

The Domination Map Blade quickly tried to carry them back up, only to discover that the Demon Flowers seemed to have a will of their own. They had united to form a barrier in mid-air... There was no way out!

Seeing the flowers growing at a crazed pace, looking as if they were about to devour them whole, the anxious Domination Map Blade could only carry everyone and flee deeper into the Forbidden Land...
