Chapter 1082 - 1080: Slaying Xu Jiangsheng!

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1080: Slaying Xu Jiangsheng!

"Lin Bai, do you think the three Supremes of Miracle Ridge and all the warriors in the entire world can kill you?"

Xu Jiangsheng laughed manically.

"Senior Ye Wuhuan... Lin Bai he..."

After Xu Jiangsheng spoke, he immediately looked towards Ye Wuhuan.

At the moment, Ye Wuhuan was very curious, watching Xu Jiangsheng and waiting for him to finish his sentence.

"Nine Rotations Sword Steps, the eighth step!"

Seeing Xu Jiangsheng was about to reveal his possession of the Demonic Martial Soul, Lin Bai almost didn’t hesitate at all. He exploded forth with the full speed of the Nine Rotations Sword Steps, lunging violently at Xu Jiangsheng!

A killing intent as high as the clouds emanated from Lin Bai!

The eighth step of the Nine Rotations Sword Steps had already been mastered by Lin Bai, but he had kept it as a trump card without revealing it easily.

Now that Xu Jiangsheng was betting it all, intending to tell Ye Wuhuan about Lin Bai’s Martial Soul.

Lin Bai couldn’t hold back any longer!

He had to kill Xu Jiangsheng before the latter could speak of Lin Bai’s Martial Soul!

The speed of the eighth step turned Lin Bai into a Waning Shadow that bore down on Xu Jiangsheng, and the terrifying power wavering from Lin Bai’s body shocked all the warriors in the spectator seats!

"Such terrifying killing intent!" Jian Ruohan exclaimed.

"What does Lin Bai want to do? Don’t act rashly!" Yejian Qiu cried out in alarm.

"This is killing intent!"

"Is Lin Bai going to kill Xu Jiangsheng?"

Many warriors realized that Lin Bai was charging at Xu Jiangsheng.

At this moment, Kang Xiao’s face changed drastically as he hurriedly yelled, "Lin Bai, stop, you must not kill!"

As he spoke, Kang Xiao leaped from his chair and landed in the arena, trying to stop Lin Bai!

But just as Kang Xiao got up, Lin Bai had already appeared in front of Xu Jiangsheng.

With a maniacal expression, Xu Jiangsheng looked at Ye Wuhuan and laughed, saying, "Senior Ye Wuhuan, Lin Bai, he has the Demonic..."

Spurt—

Just as Xu Jiangsheng spoke those words, his voice came to an abrupt halt.

His head flew up into the air!

Blood gushed up like a column and scattered across the field like Blood Rain!

With an icy expression, Lin Bai watched as Xu Jiangsheng’s decapitated corpse slowly fell to the ground, and the severed head that had flown up landed five meters away, smashing into a pulpy mass of blood!

"That was close!"

"The Essence of Fire has already self-detonated, so you can no longer be reborn, right?"

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly, with a lingering sense of unease. If he had not acted promptly, Xu Jiangsheng might have actually revealed that Lin Bai possessed the Demonic Martial Soul...

"Stop!"

At this moment, Kang Xiao’s voice followed, and he appeared on the arena, standing beside Xu Jiangsheng’s body.

Unfortunately, it was too late; Xu Jiangsheng was already decapitated.

"Ah!"

Kang Xiao looked in disbelief at Xu Jiangsheng’s body and head severed on the ground, his face revealing a hint of anger.

While Lin Bai’s expression remained very calm!

Xu Jiangsheng was dead, and the secret of the Devouring Sword Spirit was preserved.

"Dead?"

"Killed?"

"Did Lin Bai really kill Xu Jiangsheng?"

"You can’t kill on the arena!"

Many warriors shouted in horror.

Jian Ruohan and Yejian Qiu also had looks of astonishment on their faces.

Kang Yiyang and Kang Shiyun were dumbfounded by Lin Bai’s actions.

Meanwhile, both Hong Su and Ye Suxin’s faces revealed a trace of shock.

"Lin Bai intended to kill Xu Jiangsheng from the bottom of his heart. Just now, Xu Jiangsheng already had no fighting power left, but Lin Bai showed no mercy at all. He really wants to kill Xu Jiangsheng!" Hong Su saw through Lin Bai’s intentions in an instant.

He really wants to kill Xu Jiangsheng, not just defeat him, but to kill him!

Ye Suxin said in surprise, "Why? There are plenty of opportunities to kill him, so why must he kill someone on the Arena of Spiritual Child Battle and openly challenge the rules of Miracle Ridge?"

Hong Su shook her head, remaining silent.

"Hm?" At this moment, Ye Wuhuan’s gaze sharpened as he saw the bloodstains all over the arena, and he stood up from his chair in anger, an aura that towered above Cloud Sky burst forth.

The power of the Flying Sky Realm, like an insurmountable mountain, suppressed all the warriors present!

Boom —

Feeling this pressure from the Flying Sky Realm, Lin Bai silently turned and looked at Ye Wuhuan, who now had a ball of anger on his face, staring at Lin Bai with eyes like knives, seemingly ready to slice him into a thousand pieces.

"Lin Bai, do you know that killing is not permissible in the Spiritual Child Battle?"

"This is what Peak Master Kang Xiao repeatedly emphasized before the start of the competition!"

Ye Wuhuan asked coldly, staring at Lin Bai.

"Disciple knows," Lin Bai replied quietly with a fist and palm salute, "But my actions were too swift just now, and I couldn’t stop in time, killing Xu Jiangsheng by accident. It’s my fault, and I’m willing to accept punishment!"

What?

Too swift?

Couldn’t stop?

You’re kidding, right?

Anyone could tell that Xu Jiangsheng no longer stood a chance against you with his level of combat power, and your approach towards Xu Jiangsheng with your movement technique was clearly an attempt to kill him!

How could it be an accident? It was evident that you wanted to kill him!

Ye Wuhuan said coldly, "Nonsense!"

Boom —

Ye Wuhuan, enraged, unleashed the power of the Flying Sky Realm at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai’s face rapidly paled under the oppression of that Flying Sky Realm power, and with a gulp, he spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Kang Xiao’s gaze shifted in urgency, and he immediately stood by Lin Bai’s side and said, "Sect Leader Supreme, I observed that Lin Bai indeed couldn’t hold back and accidentally killed Xu Jiangsheng. Please consider a lighter punishment for him, Sect Leader Supreme!"

Hearing Kang Xiao’s words, all the warriors present began to look puzzled.

Kang Xiao seeking clemency for Lin Bai?

Lin Bai looked up, gratefully glancing at Kang Xiao.

"Kang Xiao, you want to plead for Lin Bai?" Ye Wuhuan asked coldly.

"Not exactly, but as the host of this arena battle, it is primarily my fault that I couldn’t stop Lin Bai’s sword technique in time, leading to a disciple’s tragic death. The responsibility lies with me, not with Lin Bai!"

"If Sect Leader Supreme wishes to assign punishment, then please punish me," Kang Xiao said respectfully.

Upon hearing Kang Xiao’s words, Lin Bai felt somewhat moved.

Kang Xiao was actually asking Ye Wuhuan to punish him instead of Lin Bai?

Ye Wuhuan coldly said, "You indeed deserve punishment, but you cannot take Lin Bai’s place!"

"Kang Xiao, from now on, you will no longer be the host of the Arena of Spiritual Child Battle. Additionally, you are to return to the First Peak and reflect upon your actions for one year, with no permission to leave!"

"As for you, Lin Bai, publicly committing murder on the arena, defying the rules of Miracle Ridge, your crime is unforgivable."

"Someone, take Lin Bai away and lock him in the dungeon. I will convene with the Elders of the Enforcement Hall to decide on Lin Bai’s punishment!"

Ye Wuhuan immediately gave the orders to both Lin Bai and Kang Xiao.

Hearing the verdict, Kang Xiao shook his head helplessly and glanced at Lin Bai.

"Thank you, Peak Master Kang Xiao. This affair arose because of me; let’s not create more trouble for the Kang Family," said Lin Bai with a smile to Kang Xiao.

"That’s all I could do for you. Now, you should calmly await the outcome from the Enforcement Hall," Kang Xiao said to Lin Bai. "However, I will make every effort to seek a sliver of hope for you."

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Soon after, a group of warriors clad in armor came forward, shackled Lin Bai’s hands, and took him to the dungeons of Miracle Ridge!
