Chapter 1146: Chapter 1144: Killing Out of the Saint Mansion!

Within the Saint Mansion.

The white-haired man, Yejian Jun, sat aloft with Wen Ye and Yan Yu standing below, all three casting cold glances at Lin Bai and Chu Yue as they entered.

"Saint Senior Brother, Lin Bai has arrived," Chu Yue, escorting Lin Bai into the Great Hall, gave a fist salute to the Saint.

Lin Bai stood in the center of the Great Hall, his face cool and detached, speaking not a word, but silently staring at the white-haired man.

The white-haired man, Yejian Jun, looked at Lin Bai, silent for a long time.

Lin Bai sneered disdainfully: "The exalted Five Pinnacle Saint Your Highness actually threatens me with the lives of my relatives and friends. Such a petty act is indeed despicable."

The white-haired man gave a slight smile: "There’s no other way, Junior Brother Lin Bai’s methods reach the heavens; his Sword Skill is akin to that of an Immortal. Entering Miracle Ridge for barely a year, yet you’ve stirred up such a commotion."

"Within the Nine Courtyards, you slew the Chief Disciples of the Chulong Courtyard, the Fist Daoist Courtyard, the Sword Art Academy, the Knife Dao Sect, and the Spear Daoist Courtyard!"

"You mastered the Supreme Sword, which no one has learned for centuries!"

"Atop the Five Peaks, you murdered someone in front of Master Ye Wuhuan during the Spiritual Child Battle!"

"With Junior Brother Lin Bai’s capabilities, I, as your brother, wouldn’t stand a chance without resorting to some tactics. I fear even if Wen Ye, Yan Yu, and Chu Yue were to ask you together, you wouldn’t step foot in my Saint Mansion, would you, Junior Brother Lin Bai?"

The white-haired man, Yejian Jun, coldly stated.

Lin Bai looked around at Wen Ye, Yan Yu, and Chu Yue, responding neither in agreement nor objection.

"Ten years ago, when I was still but an ant-like disciple, I was attacked by the Demon Clan, gravely wounded and on the brink of death; Ke Han fought desperately to save me and helped me escape to safety!"

"Seven years ago, when I was falsely accused of murdering the son of the Five Peaks Peak Master, I was imprisoned in the Dungeon; it was Ke Han who tirelessly sought evidence day and night and saved my life!"

"Five years ago, when I contended for the position of Saint against Ji Guan, originally unbeatable, it was Ke Han who found an opportunity that helped me break through my State and awaken my Martial Soul."

"Four years ago..."

The white-haired man fixed his gaze on Lin Bai, slowly speaking of Ke Han’s deeds for him.

"For someone so important to me, Yejian Jun, to die at your hands, tell me... how should I kill you to appease the spirit of Ke Han in heaven?"

Yejian Jun gazed at the spirit tablet on the table beside him, his face covered in frost.

Hearing Yejian Jun list Ke Han’s deeds, Lin Bai knew how important Ke Han was to Yejian Jun.

Ke Han saved Yejian Jun’s life from danger numerous times, found many opportunities for him, and even contributed thirty percent to Yejian Jun obtaining his position as the Saint!

For Yejian Jun, this man’s loyalty and service far outweighed that of master and servant.

No wonder that as soon as Yejian Jun felt the Nine Stages Trial beginning, his first thought was of Ke Han, to whom he even gave a life-saving jade amulet, which, in times of crisis, could invoke the descent of Yejian Jun himself!

Such a gift, Wen Ye, Yan Yu, and Chu Yue had never received.

No wonder that after Ke Han’s death, Yejian Jun unleashed his Thunderbolt wrath, and the moment Lin Bai returned to the Five Peaks, he forcefully invited Lin Bai to the Saint Mansion.

"Come here, kneel before Ke Han’s spirit tablet, bow your head and admit your wrongdoing, and I might allow you a quick death," Yejian Jun said, his eyes growing colder, and flames of rage flickering across his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai let out a cold laugh: "Senior Brother Yejian Jun, that’s really funny, isn’t it? Ke Han wanted to kill me in the Nine Stages, should I have just awaited death without resistance?"

"Warriors fight to the death; had I not been slightly more skilled by chance, the name upon that spirit tablet would now be Lin Bai!"

"Since it was a warrior’s battle to the death, where have I done wrong?!"

"If I am not at fault, why should I kneel and apologize?"

"Besides, Senior Brother Yejian Jun, you already said it yourself, kneeling and admitting fault still leads to death, not kneeling also leads to death!"

"Given that you, Senior Brother Yejian Jun, have already decided to kill me, why bother with these superfluous actions?"

Lin Bai said coldly.

Yejian Jun coldly watched Lin Bai, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent.

"Saint Senior Brother, why waste words with him? Allow me to take action; let’s see if his bones are as tough as his sharp tongue!" Chu Yue interjected harshly, then with a flicker of his form, he charged straight at Lin Bai!

As Chu Yue attacked, gusts of ferocious wind surged around him, his momentum grand, like that of an unmatched warrior, enveloping the powers of heaven and earth, roaring towards Lin Bai and making him retreat step by step!

Lin Bai, his face showing alarm, quickly drew the Purple Cloud Sword and Qingge Sword from his Storage Bag to meet the assault.

"Supreme Sword! Godslayer!"

Lin Bai’s face darkened, his ferocious sword aura aimed directly at Chu Yue’s face!

Since Yejian Jun never intended to let Lin Bai leave the Saint Mansion alive, there was no need for Lin Bai to hold back anymore!

Just as Lin Bai had said moments before, warriors fight a life and death battle, where life and death hinge on a single thought. If one hesitates while taking action, they will certainly fall into defeat in the blink of an eye!

Thus, when Lin Bai made his move, it was one of the more powerful techniques of the Supreme Sword!

Seeing Chu Yue and Lin Bai taking action, Yejian Jun did not intervene but instead looked on with a cold, mocking smile at the fierce battle unfolding before him!

Wen Ye and Yan Yu exchanged glances and smiled with a look of great interest on their faces!

After thirty rounds, Lin Bai and Chu Yue both were forced to retreat ten steps!

"You’ve got some skill, no wonder Ke Han died by your hand!" Chu Yue said to Lin Bai, a cold smile spreading across his face.

Right at that moment, Chu Yue slowly took out a pair of gloves from his storage bag and put them on!

These black gloves, upon their appearance, immediately filled the great hall with a thick and heavy gravitational force!

"Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact!" Lin Bai recognized at a glance that the gloves in Chu Yue’s hands were an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact, and at the same time, Lin Bai figured out that this man was a fist practitioner!

"Chu Yue seems serious. He’s even brought out the ’Sui Yue Fist Gloves’ given to him by the Saint Senior Brother," Yan Yu said with a light smile upon seeing this scene.

"Indeed," Wen Ye also said with a slight smile.

Having put on the gloves, Chu Yue sneered, "Let’s see how you handle my punch now!"

"Die!"

Chu Yue let out a cold huff and threw a ferocious punch!

Boom—

The moment the punch was thrown, a series of thunderous roars echoed through the air. The terrifying power emitted by the gloves seemed to crush the void and shatter mountains!

Splat—

Before the punch even hit Lin Bai, the terrifying force it carried made Lin Bai spit out blood, his complexion immediately turning pale!

"With the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm plus an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact, he really is difficult to deal with!"

Lin Bai immediately felt the pressure!

Facing Chu Yue, who was at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, with an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact in hand, Lin Bai knew he was definitely going to be suppressed!

"Flying Swords!"

"One Sword Becomes Thousands!"

With a single thought from Lin Bai, the flying swords unsheathed, transforming into thousands of sword shadows, and viciously striking down upon Chu Yue’s punch!

A thunderous noise that shook heaven and earth erupted!

The entire Saint Mansion shook violently!

...

Outside the Saint Mansion, Kang Yiyang and Jian Ruohan both had faces full of concern.

At this moment, the intense fluctuations of spiritual power and continuous tremors erupting from within the Saint Mansion caused Jian Ruohan and Kang Yiyang’s gazes to focus intently on the building, their faces darkening.

"Have they started fighting?" Kang Yiyang exclaimed!

"I can’t wait any longer! Brother Kang, I know you mean well, but please wait here for me. I’m going in!" Jian Ruohan said with a face as cold as ice.

In an instant, Jian Ruohan’s figure flashed and she rushed into the Saint Mansion!

"Miss Jian Ruohan, you mustn’t!"

Kang Yiyang hurriedly called out, but by the time his voice rang out, Jian Ruohan’s figure had already entered the Saint Mansion!

"Ah, what to do, this is a serious offense to break into the Saint Mansion uninvited. If the Five Peaks Law Enforcement Hall finds out, it will mean death!" Kang Yiyang clenched his fists, his face filled with anxiety: "Father, why haven’t you arrived yet!"
