Chapter 1075: Chapter 1073: Feng Lei Sword Soul! (5)

Lin Bai returned to his seat, and soon Kang Xiao announced the next martial arts competition.

Half an hour later.

The list of the top sixteen finalists came out.

Warriors like Lin Bai, Xu Jiangsheng, Di Xia, Meng Yue, Shiyezhou, Tong Ji, and others, as expected, made it into the top sixteen!

Kang Xiao said, "Next, the top sixteen will compete!"

"First group, Di Xia versus Le Wei!"

"Second group, Xu Jiangsheng versus Li Yong!"

"Third group, Shiyezhou versus Peng Xiong!"

"..."

"Eighth group, Lin Bai versus Tong Ji!"

One by one, the matches proceeded.

It was soon time for the last group!

"Lin Bai is up against Tong Ji."

"Tong Ji is far stronger than Tang Jin!"

"Tong Ji is undoubtedly this year’s Spiritual Child, Lin Bai’s luck is so bad. Perhaps if he had not encountered Tong Ji, he might have had a chance to make it into the top eight."

"Here they come, Lin Bai and Tong Ji are taking the stage."

At this moment, all the warriors turned their attention to the arena.

Clad in a white robe, Lin Bai stood on the arena with Tong Ji.

Tong Ji laughed and said, "Hehe, Lin Bai, you better be careful, I’m not as easy to deal with as Tang Jin."

"I know," Lin Bai nodded and smiled.

"Then do you still plan to let me have three techniques?" Tong Ji asked with a smile.

"There’s no need for that now, I plan to go all out!"

Lin Bai said with a light laugh.

"Go all out? Good, that’s what I wanted. Let me see just how strong you really are."

Tong Ji sneered coldly, and from his storage bag, a nine-grade spirit tool, a treasure sword, appeared in his hand, and the terrifying sword aura immediately enveloped the area.

"You’re a sword cultivator?" Lin Bai asked in surprise, looking at Tong Ji.

"That’s right, Lin Bai, you need to be careful. The sword of a sword cultivator is not as straightforward as a fist, knife and sword are merciless!" Tong Ji raised his sword edge and immediately launched a fierce attack at Lin Bai.

The terrifying power of his sword skill immediately flooded the area.

Lin Bai’s face showed shock as he quickly reacted, his movement technique constantly shifting.

"Feng Lei Sword, Wind Rise and Billow!"

Tong Ji displayed his sword skill, and a torrent of sword aura mixed with the power of wind and thunder struck down on Lin Bai from above!

"This is Tong Ji’s Martial Soul Secret Skill!"

"The secret skill of the Feng Lei Sword Soul!"

At this moment, all the warriors saw a mist of purple and green above Tong Ji’s head, with a sword shadow beginning to flicker within it.

Lin Bai was forced back by this strike!

"Too strong!"

"Tong Ji’s swordsmanship is too powerful!"

"He’s actually pressuring Lin Bai!"

Many warriors could see that on the arena, Lin Bai had completely lost the ability to resist and was being chased around and beaten by Tong Ji!

"Lin Bai, you’ve experienced the power of a sword cultivator’s swordsmanship today, haven’t you?"

"Concede. Continuing the fight is meaningless; today you will surely be defeated by my sword," Tong Ji said to Lin Bai with a cold voice.

"Sword cultivator?"

"Senior Brother Tong Ji, I forgot to tell you, my greatest strength isn’t in my fists either!"

"Actually, I too am a sword cultivator!"

Lin Bai stood firm, reaching into his storage bag, and a purple treasure sword appeared in his hand.

A nine-grade spirit tool, the Purple Cloud Sword!

"What!"

"Lin Bai is actually a sword cultivator?"

All the warriors watching Lin Bai draw his treasure sword at that moment showed a look of shock on their faces!

"His fist technique was so powerful, I thought he was a fist cultivator, but to my surprise, he’s actually a sword cultivator!"

"Could it be that when he defeated me, he wasn’t using his full strength?"

Tang Jin, standing by, couldn’t help but show a look of horror on his face when he saw the Treasure Sword in Lin Bai’s hand.

"It has begun," Yejian Qiu said with a slight smile to Jian Ruohan as he watched Lin Bai draw his Treasure Sword.

"Lin Bai is getting serious," Jian Ruohan nodded, "It’s necessary. Tong Ji’s strength is too immense. If Lin Bai doesn’t get serious, I’m afraid he won’t be able to defeat Tong Ji."

Upon hearing Jian Ruohan’s words, Yejian Qiu also nodded slightly in agreement.

"Hahaha, I didn’t expect you to be a junior brother from the Sword Art Academy," Tong Ji laughed when he saw Lin Bai draw his Treasure Sword, "Very well, let senior brother see if the junior brothers from the Sword Art Academy have made any progress!"

Tong Ji was also a sword cultivator, naturally hailing from the Sword Art Academy!

In other words, most of the sword cultivators on the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge were experts from the Sword Art Academy!

Lin Bai smiled and replied, "Then please be careful, Senior Brother Tong Ji!"

Tong Ji laughed and said, "Come on!"

Whoosh—

Lin Bai’s gaze turned fierce, and he rapidly executed his movement technique, transforming into a series of waning shadows as he began to close in on Tong Ji.

"Junior brother, your movement technique is indeed not bad. Tang Jin lost so easily because he didn’t see through the unpredictability of your movements, but don’t treat your senior brother as if I am Tang Jin!"

"My Feng Lei Sword Soul naturally contains the dharma method of speed!"

"If it’s a contest of speed, your senior brother won’t lose to you!"

Seeing Lin Bai deploying his movement technique, Tong Ji immediately disappeared from the Martial Arts Stage with a phantom-like move.

Suddenly, all one could see were two streaks of lightning-fast light colliding vigorously above the Martial Arts Stage.

Tong Ji’s Feng Lei Sword Soul, being of Earth Grade 9, its name speaking of wind and thunder, sufficiently showed the strength of this Martial Soul—shadowless like the wind, merciless like the thunder, one as fast as lightning, the other as formidable as Heavenly Thunder!

"Such a powerful Martial Soul!"

After exchanging a dozen moves with Tong Ji, Lin Bai found that in terms of speed, there wasn’t much of a gap between them and Tong Ji’s Feng Lei Sword Soul!

"Junior brother! It seems your speed can no longer secure a victory over your senior brother!"

"Then take this strike from your senior brother!"

"Feng Lei Sword Soul! Thunder’s Fury!"

Tong Ji made his move, and a myriad of thunderbolts began to spread from his body.

The terrifying power of thunder gathered in Tong Ji’s sword, roaring as it struck towards Lin Bai!

This strike was extremely formidable, possessing the power to destroy everything, to annihilate all living beings!

The warriors present, upon seeing Tong Ji’s strike, were so frightened that their pupils dilated and they couldn’t help but gasp in shock!

Even Yejian Qiu and Jian Ruohan had a hint of apprehension on their faces, for they felt a rich scent of death emanating from Tong Ji’s strike!

"Well received!"

Seeing Tong Ji strike, Lin Bai immediately turned his body, with the Purple Cloud Sword bursting forth with strong power fluctuations!

A sword aura, heaven-reaching and earth-penetrating, slashed down.

Boom—

The mighty sword aura that tore through the sky struck against Tong Ji’s sword qi. A thunderous collision echoed through the air. Not only did Lin Bai’s sword aura shatter Tong Ji’s sword qi, but it also sent Tong Ji staggering back five or six steps!

Tong Ji stabilized his stance, his face showing shock: "What kind of sword skill is this, that it possesses such terrifying power!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly: "Senior brother, you’d better be careful!"

"This strike is called ’Sword Wandering Freely’!"

"And the next strike is called... ’Sky Collapse’!"

After repelling Tong Ji, Lin Bai immediately used his movement technique to close in on Tong Ji once more!

A sword aura, sharp and unparalleled, slashed down again!

"Sword Wandering Freely!"

"Sky Collapse!"

Tong Ji’s pupils shockingly witnessed Lin Bai: "It’s the Ultimate Technique of our Sword Art Academy, the Supreme Sword!"

Tong Ji was terrified, he too was once a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, and even ranked in the top ten on the Sword List, fortunate enough to have seen the Supreme Sword. However, due to insufficient talent, he could only grasp the first technique of the Supreme Sword!

And now, in Lin Bai’s hands, Tong Ji saw the third and fourth techniques of the Supreme Sword!

"Supreme Sword!"

Ye Wuhuan and Kang Xiao rose from their seats one after the other, their faces filled with unimaginable horror as they looked at Lin Bai!

"It’s the Supreme Sword that once swept across the Miracle Ridge, leaving the Sect Leader Supreme of that time powerless to fight back!" Ye Wuhuan’s pupils shook deeply.

Even Kang Xiao was frightened, his face turning pale!

He was recalling that dark memory overshadowed by the Supreme Sword!
