Chapter 159 A Piece of Broken Porcelain Severing the Boundary Seal! Bai Heng's expression final

Click.

The cracking sound was very faint.

It was so light that it didn't feel like the boundary seal high above in the sky being cleaved open; it felt more like someone accidentally crushing a piece of thin ice in someone's ear.

But it is precisely because it is light that it makes one's scalp tingle.

Because everyone heard it.

I could hear it clearly.

In front of the Taiji Hall, the aura that had just been suppressed by the Boundary Seal, turning pale, cold, and stagnant, suddenly seemed to have a crack pried open from the middle by something.

The wind has returned first.

Then came the sound.

It was the rustling of robes, the gentle trembling of teacups, and the suppressed gasps from the crowd.

Then, everyone truly saw the scene high in the sky—

The silver-white, thin as a net, boundary seal that was slowly pressing down had a very fine and straight crack in the center of its surface.

The crack is not long.

It even occupies less than one-tenth of the entire printing surface.

But it really does exist.

Like a piece of paper, no matter how neatly laid out, how cold, or how much it symbolizes power and control, being casually scratched with a fingertip.

The opening isn't big.

But it's enough to make the whole piece of paper lose its perfect and lofty aura.

Before the crack in the sky.

For the first time, Bai Heng's face, which was always as cold and white as jade and almost devoid of emotional fluctuations, showed a clear change that everyone could see.

It wasn't anger.

Instead, there was a slight pause.

Even he himself didn't expect it.

The boundary seal he had personally conjured was actually cleaved in two by the person below with a shard of broken teacup porcelain.

In that instant, everyone in front of the Taiji Hall felt their hearts leap into their throats.

Then, it fell back down heavily.

It landed even more steadily than before.

Lei Wujie was the first to react, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. The next moment, he slapped his thigh hard.

"good!!!"

"That boss is amazing!"

"I knew it! I knew that broken seal wouldn't work!"

His shout was full of energy, which dispelled most of the oppressive atmosphere in the arena caused by Gao Tianwei's pressure.

The eyes without eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw it most clearly.

That wasn't just a simple "powerful cleavage".

Instead, Su Changqing used that shard of porcelain to make a terrifyingly precise cut at the very core of Bai Heng's boundary seal, the point where the "closed loop of the takeover order" was most crucial.

Just that one moment.

no more, no less.

But it cut off its last breath.

Like a chef gutting a fish, one cut doesn't hurt anywhere else, but only severs the most crucial tendon.

This is no longer strong.

This is so powerful that they can see through the very structure of the opponent's authority at a glance.

Sikong Changfeng was so excited that his hands trembled, and he held the account book and kept taking deep breaths.

"It's cracked!"

"It's really cracked!"

"Okay, okay, that's good!"

Xiao Se was already used to his habit of settling accounts first, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head and glance at him.

"What's so good about it?"

Sikong Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice, speaking rapidly.

"If it can even sever a boundary seal, what does that mean?"

"This means the guide's talisman is already half broken!"

"Once the cards are broken, the momentum weakens."

"Once his momentum weakens, it will be easier for Mr. Su to deal with him no matter what he does next."

"Won't the third, fourth, and even the special performance featuring the Guide be sold out like crazy?!"

Xiao Se remained silent for a moment, unable to find anything wrong with his logic.

Because the fact is—

Bai Heng's "unreachable" shell has been pierced by that piece of broken porcelain in front of the whole city.

Once this kind of breach is opened, it's very difficult to mend it.

That's just how people are.

If you always hang high in the clouds, everyone will only dare to look up at you.

But if someone pulls you down in public, smashes you, and then slashes you, the untouchable awe in other people's hearts will quickly begin to crumble.

And that's exactly what Su Changqing is doing now.

Li Hanyi stood to the side, looking at the cracked boundary seal. The coldness in her eyes subsided slightly, and a slight upturn appeared at the corner of her lips.

She wasn't surprised that Su Changqing could kill him.

She was simply very satisfied.

He was particularly pleased with the piece of broken porcelain, which he had picked up from the teacup that Bai Heng had "broken."

You stepped on the teacup and broke it.

He then used a shard of teacup to cut your mark.

This style is so reminiscent of Su Changqing.

It's straightforward, extremely insulting, and incredibly vengeful.

Su Xiaonuo was overjoyed, leaning on Li Hanyi's shoulder and clapping her little hands loudly.

"Mother, Mother!"

"Daddy hit it again!"

"Um."

"Does that mean the bad guy has to pay even more money?"

Li Hanyi looked at the white-clad figure in the sky and said calmly:

"This time, it's probably not just about losing the teacup."

The little girl's eyes lit up.

"Then what should we compensate you for?"

"Apologize."

"Huh? You can compensate for your face?"

"Your father might be able to help."

Su Xiaonuo immediately had a "I've learned something" look on her face and continued to look up at the sky excitedly.

……

High above, Bai Heng finally snapped out of his momentary daze.

For the first time, a clear chill truly arose in his icy silver eyes.

It's not aloof indifference.

Rather, it is the instinctive murderous intent and displeasure that arises when a certain perfect order is tainted.

He slightly tightened his grip on his palm.

The boundary seal, which had a thin crack, immediately emitted a low hum, and the silver-white patterns on its edges flowed like a living thing, attempting to mend the crack again.

Yet, within that crack, a faint trace of blue remained.

There wasn't much green.

But it was like a nail, firmly fixed in place.

No matter how Bai Heng activated the order patterns of the Boundary Seal, the crack only contracted slightly before reopening.

It can't be fixed.

At least, it can't be made up for in the short term.

Bai Heng's gaze turned even colder.

Because this is no longer a simple case of "being slashed".

Rather, it was their own authority that was wounded.

This was an offense to him in itself.

Inside the Immortal Cage, Zhao Xuance watched this scene, his heart already churning with turbulent waves.

He knew all too well what the boundary seal meant.

For someone of Bai Heng's level, the Boundary Seal is not a ritual implement or an external object, but rather an extension of the "identity" and "authority" of the guide.

Now this extension has been shattered in front of everyone by a piece of broken porcelain—

This was even more embarrassing for him than being slapped in the face.

Zhao Xuance suddenly realized with absolute clarity that his previous reverence for Bai Heng was not wrong.

But the respect he held for Bai Heng was utterly worthless in Su Changqing's eyes.

To Su Changqing, the guide was nothing more than a guest who came to his door without offering to pay for his tea and even tried to use his official seal to intimidate him.

Then--

He was then chopped down.

Gu Changxuan's throat went dry, and for the first time, an extremely strange thought arose in his mind.

If Bai Heng were also dragged down and locked in a cage today—

The Patrol Hall is probably really going to be blown up.

Of course, he was startled as soon as the thought popped into his head.

But then he glanced at Su Changqing's calm expression below and suddenly felt... it wasn't entirely impossible.

……

Before the crack in the sky, Bai Heng finally spoke again.

The voice was still cold.

It was noticeably a layer deeper than before.

"You sever my boundary seal."

"very good."

"very good?"

Su Changqing stood on the ground, looked up at him, and smiled.

"You have an interesting way of speaking."

"If I hit you with a teacup, you'd think you had some nerve."

"I cut off the seal, and you said it was good."

"What, is this all you higher-ups can say after you get beaten?"

Upon hearing this, many people in the room began to tremble on their shoulders again.

That's a really sharp tongue.

Bai Heng's "Very good" originally carried a hint of coldness and oppression, as if the guide had been offended.

As a result, Su Changqing's translation made it sound like "After being beaten, there's nothing else to say."

The cold silver light in Bai Heng's eyes froze slightly.

"You're asking for it."

Su Changqing nodded.

"Yeah, I also think you're pretty good at talking nonsense."

After he finished speaking, he raised his empty fingertips, as if he could still feel the touch of that shard of porcelain.

"Alright, stop standing there pretending."

"The boundary seal is cracked, why aren't you coming down?"

"If you don't come down now, I'll assume you can't afford to pay."

"..."

Sikong Changfeng almost burst out laughing.

We can't afford to pay it back!

That's amazing, absolutely amazing!

The dignified guide, having been pressured by Su Changqing's words until now, is actually being told that he "can't afford to pay for the teacup, so he doesn't dare to come down."

This is practically stomping on someone's face and grinding it back and forth.

Bai Heng clearly understood this implication as well.

The little calm he had left on his face finally shattered completely.

next moment.

He stopped talking.

Instead, he lifted his foot and took a step down.

This step will not be taken quickly.

But it is extremely heavy.

This step was even more significant than when he emerged from the crack.

Because this time, he didn't "show up".

Instead, the real goal is to lower prices.

boom!

His foot landed in the void, and the entire sky seemed to be pressed down slightly by this step.

The cold white light that had been spreading out gently on both sides of the crack suddenly poured down like a tidal wave.

It's not light rain.

Not Thunder.

Rather, it is an extremely fine and pure "preface" woven from countless silver-white thin blades.

They are slow, but dense.

It doesn't make a fuss, yet it's everywhere.

Wherever it passed, the wind stopped, the dust didn't rise, and even the sound of people breathing seemed to be chopped into pieces.

Bai Heng is now completely serious.

He no longer merely used the boundary seal to suppress.

Instead, he wanted to use the momentum of his true arrival to directly take over the energy in front of the entire Taiji Hall.

Li Hanyi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the Iron Horse and Ice River swords rang out softly from within her sleeves.

The imperial dragon energy within Xiao Se's body surged and flowed.

Lei Wujie and Wushuang also took half a step forward at the same time.

It's not that they think they can take it on.

In such situations, even if you know you can't handle it, you still have to step forward.

But before they could actually make a move...

Su Changqing had already raised his hand first.

It was just a very casual action.

It was as if they were being told not to rush.

The next moment, a faint blue ripple suddenly appeared on the white jade plaza beneath his feet.

The ripples were small.

At first, it only spread out within a radius of about ten feet around his feet.

But when Bai Heng's silvery-white "preface" pressed down like a tide, the blue ripples spread outwards layer by layer, like spring water pushing aside floating ice.

Wherever it passed, the cold whiteness receded.

Qi returns.

Breathing is smooth.

The warmth of everyday life was miraculously brought back from that cold, rigid order of "receiving and taking over".

Moreover, it's held in a very natural way.

Extremely stable.

It's like trying to put out a fire by pouring a basin of cold water on it, but instead of extinguishing the fire, the flames at the bottom of the pot actually burn even brighter with the help of the steam.

Bai Heng's gaze darkened.

He finally realized that he had underestimated this person.

This is not a simple matter of breaking the deadlock by brute force.

It's not some kind of forced support either.

But -

The person below clearly also possessed a kind of astonishingly complete "boundary intent".

It is not inferior to the boundary seal.

In some places, it is even more alive, more natural, and has a more unreasonable sense of growth.

How is that possible?

How could an anomaly in the mortal realm possess such an aura?

But Bai Heng didn't have time to think it through.

Because Su Changqing has spoken again.

"Have you seen enough?"

"It's my turn."

The moment those five words were uttered, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

What does that mean?

That patch of broken porcelain marks just now, wasn't it the real beginning?

Bai Heng also narrowed his eyes.

The next moment, Su Changqing actually moved.

He did not leap into the air.

There was no leap into the sky.

They didn't even put on any impressive display.

He simply raised his hand and reached out to grab Bai Heng high in the sky.

The action was almost exactly the same as when he said "come down" earlier.

But this time, everyone sensed something was different.

Because with his grab, the blue ripples in front of the Taiji Hall suddenly expanded in all directions in an instant!

Not ten feet.

It's not ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

Instead, it's like the edge of an invisible little world suddenly opening up a layer outwards!

High in the sky, the crack behind Bai Heng trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, the white ring that had been fixed in place beneath his feet emitted a piercing cracking sound.

Click!Click!Click!

Cracks rapidly spread from the center of the ring.

Bai Heng's expression finally changed completely.

Because this time he felt with absolute clarity that it wasn't just the "road" beneath his feet that was being pulled.

Even its connection to this channel is being pried open!

This is no longer a simple matter of recruiting people.

It's uprooting them!

"You dare—"

He had barely uttered a stern rebuke when...

Su Changqing then clenched his fingers, his gaze indifferent, as if casually pulling back a piece of clothing hanging outside before closing the door.

"Get down here."

Boom!

In that instant, the entire crack in the Heavenly Gate seemed to be violently pulled up from below by an invisible giant hand!

Bai Heng's white-clad figure could no longer stand.

The ring behind him crumbled inch by inch.

The chains of order beneath our feet snapped one by one.

For the first time, that cold, jade-like face, which had always been aloof and superior, clearly showed a mixture of rage and shock.

then--

Amidst countless horrified gazes, he was dragged down a considerable distance from the front of the crack!

The square was initially deathly silent.

Then, it exploded with a bang!

"It's fallen!!!"

"It really fell!"

"The guide has been dragged down!"

"Mr. Su pulled him down from the Heavenly Gate!!"

"Is this guy even human?!"

"..."

Sikong Changfeng, clutching the account book, was so excited he could barely stand, repeating only one sentence to himself.

"They're here! They're here! They're really here!"

Xiao Se let out a long breath, his eyes filled with barely concealed shock.

He knew Su Changqing was strong.

But every time you think you've overestimated him enough, he can still casually step on you again.

The guide arrived through the Heavenly Gate.

Then, he pulled her down from the gate of heaven.

This scene is enough to make the entire Patrol Palace look ridiculous.

Li Hanyi held Su Xiaonuo in her arms, gazing at the figure in the blue robe, her eyes filled with only a quiet yet sharp light.

She suddenly realized that she might never forget this scene, even many years from now.

A gate opened in the heavens, and a figure in white descended to earth.

Her husband, standing in the human world, reached out and pulled her down.

Like pulling down a shadow that shouldn't be hanging overhead.

Su Xiaonuo's face was flushed with excitement, and she shouted in her childish voice:

"Go, Daddy!"

"Drag the bad guys down!"

"Make him pay up!"

That shout was incredibly clear and crisp.

High above, the white-clad figure, being pulled rapidly downwards, finally lost all dignity as a guide for the first time in this unprecedentedly disheveled state.

He no longer hangs high in the sky, looking down upon all living beings as he did before.

But truly—

They were pulled into the human world.
