Chapter 239 Covert Deal

Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Covert Deal

Hearing these words, Xie Zhi Dao’s expression suddenly changed.

Elder Xuan was not here to plead for Lin Yi, but to have him cripple Lin Yi in the duel?

This made Xie Zhi Dao somewhat confused!

However, he quickly recovered and frowned tightly, "After all, Lin Yi is a True Inheritor of the Holy Mansion. If I cripple him, I won’t be able to escape the grave offense of harming a fellow disciple."

Although he was planning to teach Lin Yi a harsh lesson, he had no intention of crippling him.

"Why not pretend it was an accidental slip, and it will be fine?"

Elder Xuan said indifferently, "With your strength, it should be very easy to do."

"Moreover, this old man will assist quietly, ensuring you’re safe."

With that said, he directly passed a Jade Bottle to Xie Zhi Dao.

"This is your reward for accomplishing this task."

Xie Zhi Dao looked incredulously, opened the Jade Bottle on the spot, and a wave of extremely pure energy immediately spread from it.

Inside the Jade Bottle flowed droplets of golden liquid.

"Top-grade True Liquid?"

A look of shock appeared on Xie Zhi Dao’s face.

Top-grade True Liquid, which could only be refined by Sealing King Realm experts, was extremely precious. It could help True Master Realm experts break through their cultivation bottlenecks, a rare treasure indeed.

A bottle of Top-grade True Liquid was invaluable to any True Master Realm expert.

Xie Zhi Dao was no exception.

He was now at the peak of the True Master Fifth Realm. If he consumed this bottle of Top-grade True Liquid, he was confident he could breakthrough to the True Master Sixth Realm.

"Deal!"

Xie Zhi Dao bit his teeth and then nodded in agreement.

This bottle of Top-grade True Liquid already had the value to warrant taking some risks.

Besides, with Elder Xuan’s help, the matter should be failproof.

"Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi, you can’t blame me for this."

A cold gleam suddenly flashed in Xie Zhi Dao’s eyes, "If anyone is to blame, it’s because you offended someone unassailable and brought disaster upon yourself."

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Qianfeng Mountain Martial Arts Platform.

A large number of Holy Mansion Disciples had already arrived early, surrounding the entire area, tightly packed, waiting for the arrival of Lin Yi and Xie Zhi Dao, the two main characters.

The news of Lin Yi challenging Xie Zhi Dao had already spread throughout the entire Holy Mansion, undoubtedly creating a huge stir.

Lin Yi, the strongest newcomer, many people weren’t too familiar with him yet, only knew Lin Yi was the champion of the Talent Battle of Ten Thousand Countries, and had recently joined the Holy Mansion. Who would have thought that such a newcomer would challenge Xie Zhi Dao, No.1 on the Heavenly List.

Although there was a gap between the two’s strength, no one laughed at Lin Yi because, in less than two months since joining the Holy Mansion, Lin Yi had made a name for himself, even daring to challenge Xie Zhi Dao, the leading Heavenly Pride of the Holy Mansion.

Merely this courage was unmatched by anyone.

Moreover, these days, rumors about Lin Yi in the Holy Mansion had been spreading. If these rumors were true, then Lin Yi’s matchup against Xie Zhi Dao wasn’t entirely without a chance of victory!

Amidst this bubbling commotion, a swooshing sound arose, and two figures appeared in the sight of the crowd.

It was Lin Yi and Lou Tingyu.

Xie Zhi Dao had not yet appeared.

Lin Yi was not surprised by this, as being No.1 on the Heavenly List meant he had to put on some airs; it wouldn’t make sense for him to arrive earlier than Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, with that little strength of yours, you also dare to challenge Brother Xie Zhi Dao? Who gave you the courage?"

But just as Lin Yi had barely arrived, a mocking voice suddenly came from the crowd.

Lin Yi followed the sound and looked over, only to find a path opening up in the crowd, and a familiar figure emerged from it.

It was none other than Gu Yuanhang, who had previously forced his way into Shura Peak.

However, Lin Yi merely glanced at Gu Yuanhang before speaking coldly, "A defeated foe dares to swagger around?"

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings of the Qianfeng Mountain Battle Platform erupted into an uproar.

Gu Yuanhang was Lin Yi’s defeated foe?

When did this happen?

"Hahaha..."

Hearing the words "defeated foe," Gu Yuanhang suddenly burst into furious laughter, "You won one bout by taking shortcuts and now you’re so proud, raising your tail to the sky!"

"Do you really think you’re my match in terms of true strength?"

As his words fell, an astonishing momentum suddenly burst forth from Gu Yuanhang’s body, "Since Xie Zhi Dao has yet to arrive, why don’t I warm up with you first? If you can’t even defeat me, there’s no need to challenge Xie Zhi Dao!"

"Then let it be as you wish."

Yet, Lin Yi replied with an indifferent tone.

"One Strike Breaks Mountains and Rivers!"

In the instant Lin Yi agreed, Gu Yuanhang immediately made his move, swinging his sword and unleashing a massive hundred-yard sword gleam, the momentum capable of cleaving mountains and severing rivers, chilling the spines of the audience beneath the Battle Platform!

Having learned from past mistakes, Gu Yuanhang now knew of Lin Yi’s Lifebound Spirit Sword technique, thus he dared not underestimate him at all, unleashing his killer move right away!

The hundred-yard sword gleam swept across the Battle Platform, bringing with it a trail of lightning and thunder, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon Lin Yi.

Seeing the sword gleam about to strike, Lin Yi finally moved!

He swung his sword with seemingly casual ease!

In the next moment, the sword gleam that appeared capable of severing mountains and rivers instantly shattered to pieces!

The Sword Qi’s momentum, still unspent, continued towards Gu Yuanhang at a terrifying speed!

Gu Yuanhang’s face changed drastically, as he hurriedly used his sword to defend.

But he was sent flying dozens of meters backward by the aftermath of this one Sword Qi blast!

Beneath the Battle Platform, a wave of shock swept through the crowd!

Lin Yi had nearly defeated Gu Yuanhang with just a single sword strike!

"Now, are you convinced?"

Lin Yi looked at Gu Yuanhang with an indifferent gaze.

"You little brat, you’re way too arrogant!"

Gu Yuanhang’s eyes darkened, and then he suddenly unleashed his trump card sword technique, conjuring robust Sword Qi that merged into a formidable Sword Energy Torrent, sweeping towards Lin Yi!

The Sword Energy Torrent was spectacular and unceasing like a rainbow, moving the many Holy Mansion Disciples beneath the platform to stir and keep their distance from the battle!

Anyone caught in the Sword Energy Torrent would likely not die, but would certainly be gravely injured!

In the nick of time, the Sword Energy Torrent had already engulfed Lin Yi.

"You’re courting death."

Seeing Lin Yi swallowed by the Sword Energy Torrent, Gu Yuanhang let out a cold laugh, believing anyone enveloped by his move would not escape grave harm or death!

Foolish boy, this was the price for being arrogant in front of Gu Yuanhang!

However, just as Gu Yuanhang’s sneer lingered, the Sword Energy Torrent dispersed, and amidst the raging dust, Lin Yi’s figure appeared!

Completely unharmed!

"What?!"

The smile on Gu Yuanhang’s face suddenly froze.

In the next instant, fear crept onto his face!

Unfortunately for him, before he could react, Lin Yi had already unleashed a Sword Qi, slashing him directly off the Battle Platform.
