Zeng Shiyong, Gu Rou and other White Lotus Sect members were stunned to see Bai Wuji actually being beaten to the point of spitting blood.
But they quickly returned to their senses and rushed toward Su Que, intending to help Bai Wuji.
"You go too!"
Earlier, when Su Que and Bai Wuji were fighting, the County Magistrate of Jade Water City, Zhan Qingtian, and his Steward, along with the Chief Constable and constables of Jade Water City's Government Office, had also arrived at the scene.
Seeing Su Que actually make Bai Wuji spit blood, Zhan Qingtian was immediately overwhelmed with joy.
For days, he and his family had been shrouded in the death threats of Bai Wuji.
Seeing a turn of events, how could he not be happy!
Seeing Zeng Shiyong and Gu Rou going forward to help Bai Wuji, Zhan Qingtian feared Su Que would be affected and fail to kill Bai Wuji, so he hurriedly ordered his Chief Constable and constables to help Su Que.
Upon hearing Zhan Qingtian's order, the Chief Constable and constables of Jade Water City's Government Office drew their swords and rushed at Zeng Shiyong, Gu Rou, and other White Lotus Sect members!
Soon, the Chief Constable and constables clashed with the White Lotus Sect members, the sounds of Qi Force clashing and weapons colliding constantly echoing, creating a chaotic scene.
Meanwhile, the battle between Su Que and Bai Wuji continued.
Bai Wuji felt that Su Que, who had cultivated the Seven Injuries Fist to this extent, must have severe internal injuries and couldn't withstand the blows.
Feeling inspired, he used the Divine Strike technique of the White Lotus Sect.
The Divine Strike technique in the White Lotus Sect allows one to "invite gods to possess," thereby greatly increasing their power and resistance.
The Divine Strike technique isn't something every White Lotus Sect member can learn, nor is it something every member can master.
To know how to cultivate the Divine Strike technique, one must at least burn three incense sticks in the sect, hence called "Three Incense Members."
Among Bai Wuji's subordinates, like those killed by Su Que—Fan Wuyang, Jing Sha, Luo You—were all "Three Incense Members."
While Bai Wuji is now higher than them, being a "Four Incense Member."
Only then do they have the chance to access the Divine Strike technique.
Su Que once saw an incense altar at Jing Sha's residence, where statues including the Mother of Wusheng were present.
Jing Sha practiced the Divine Strike technique by visualizing these statues.
However, even though Fan Wuyang and other hall masters cultivated the Divine Strike technique, they hadn't managed to "invite gods to possess," otherwise they wouldn't have been killed by Su Que so easily.
As for whether they could "invite gods to possess" if they continued to cultivate, nobody can say for sure.
After all, even in the White Lotus Sect, some people know the cultivation method of the Divine Strike but still cannot grasp the method of "inviting gods to possess."
Though using the Divine Strike greatly enhances power, it has two weaknesses.
Firstly, excessive use can affect the mind; some White Lotus Sect members become bloodthirsty maniacs or foolish idiots after overuse.
Secondly, it greatly exhausts the mind and body.
Therefore, even those in the White Lotus Sect who can use Divine Strike don't easily employ it.
Seeing he faced a strong enemy today and that victory was still possible, Bai Wuji gritted his teeth and used the Divine Strike technique.
Bai Wuji concentrated and used Divine Strike, in the instant of "inviting Mother of Wusheng to possess him."
A phantom appeared behind Bai Wuji.
The phantom was a female Bodhisattva sitting on a white lotus, with kind features and a mysterious smile on her face.
The shape resembled the statue of the Mother of Wusheng seen by Su Que at Jing Sha's incense altar that day.
Soon after, the phantom flickered and merged into Bai Wuji's skull.
Then, a strange force emerged from Bai Wuji's body.
Bai Wuji's body suddenly expanded to nearly two meters, almost as tall as Su Que.
His Daoist Robe was instantly stretched, the sound of tearing fabric constant, erupting one crack after another.
Meanwhile, an overwhelming aura arose from Bai Wuji.
Bai Wuji's Daoist bun was blown open by this aura.
His long hair and beard danced upward along with the aura.
His facial muscles bulged, his expression becoming bizarre and ferocious, resembling those Furious Vajras in temples.
His eyebrows stood erect, eyes widened, pupils enlarged.
"Could it truly be Mother of Wusheng showing her power?"
"The White Lotus Sect monk who was beaten to death didn't lie?"
The crowd watching from afar was astonished at this sight.
Zeng Shiyong and Gu Rou, as "Three Incense Members," also cultivated the Divine Strike technique.
But they've never successfully "invited gods to possess," and they hadn't seen Bai Wuji use Divine Strike before.
They were always aware of the power of the Divine Strike technique, and seeing Bai Wuji use it now, couldn't help but feel excited.
The Government Office personnel, witnessing Bai Wuji's sudden and peculiar transformation, were also shocked.
Zhan Qingtian trembled internally, fearing Bai Wuji would reverse the battle after such a change.
Seeing Bai Wuji's abrupt transformation, Su Que was also shaken.
He had always believed this was a martial arts world, but after seeing the phantom behind Bai Wuji, he began to wonder: Are there ghosts and gods in this world?
Nevertheless, with the enemy in front, Su Que quickly regained his focus, and still launched his right fist towards Bai Wuji!
Bai Wuji extended a palm, meeting Su Que's fist!
Boom!
Fist and palm collided, power transformed into a gust of wind, spreading around.
Su Que's Seven Injuries Fist Force, still carrying four strands of True Qi, struck into Bai Wuji's body.
He could feel that as his Fist Force and True Qi entered Bai Wuji's body, a force different from Bai Wuji's Small Self-Damage Skill True Qi surged out, blocking his Fist Force and True Qi.
This force was quite strong, able to neutralize most of his Fist Force and True Qi.
'Luckily, it hasn't neutralized everything!'
Seeing this situation, Su Que felt not worried but delighted, invigorated, and fully showcased his Seven Injuries Fist.
Instantly, countless fist shadows enveloped Bai Wuji.
After employing Divine Strike, Bai Wuji became exhilarated and reacted faster.
He blocked Su Que's fists one by one.
However, each time Su Que struck him, Fist Force and True Qi invaded Bai Wuji's body.
Though most were neutralized, the accumulation eventually made a large amount of Seven Injuries Fist Force, along with four types of True Qi, rampage through Bai Wuji's viscera.
Blood mixed with chunks of visceral tissues spurted from Bai Wuji's mouth.
Bai Wuji's complexion turned deathly pale like gold paper.
Yet, even so, Su Que saw Bai Wuji still looked exhilarated, with no sign of pain on his face.
It seemed as if he could feel no pain at all.
