Chapter 1280: Chapter 1278: Revenge! This Is Just the Beginning! (5 more)

Su Zhan, upon hearing this, flew into a rage and said with a cold voice, "Humph, you have quite the nerve, wishing to use my head as a wine pot. Do you really think you have the skills?"

Su Zhan, not caring who the person actually was, immediately became furious.

The man approached step by step, finally arriving before the Sect Leader’s Hall, standing opposite Su Zhan. A cold sneer appeared on his pale face: "Su Zhan, do you think I have the skills?"

As Su Zhan beheld the man more clearly, he became utterly astonished, "You... you... are you human or ghost?"

"You were already dead, weren’t you?"

"Impossible! You were supposed to be dead, Bai Xiaoxiao even erected a tomb for you!"

Su Zhan exclaimed in shock.

Su Kang, seeing Su Zhan so flustered, asked, surprised, "Elder Brother Su Zhan, who is this person that has you so alarmed?"

Su Lingfeng and Suling Yun looked at Lin Bai with disdain and both covered their mouths and noses, as if standing too close to Lin Bai made even the air smell foul!

Su Lingfeng said impatiently, "Su Zhan, why have you let someone as vile as those from the Miracle Ridge come here? Cast him out and behead him!"

"Lingnan? A disciple of the Su Dynasty?" Lin Bai looked toward Su Lingfeng and Suling Yun.

Suling Yun, with an impatient face, said, "Knowing who we are, why don’t you retreat swiftly? Otherwise, when the wrath of the Su Dynasty’s royal family descends, do you, a mere Miracle Ridge warrior, think you can stand against it?"

Su Lingfeng with a cold voice, said, "Sister, why waste words on him? Just beat him to death with sticks."

Su Kang, seeing Su Zhan still unsettled, asked again, "Elder Brother Su Zhan, who is this person?"

Su Zhan swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Elder Brother Su Kang, this man... this man... this man is Lin Bai!"

Upon hearing this, Su Kang was startled, "What! Wasn’t he already dead?"

Su Zhan shook his head, "I also don’t understand how it happened! Bai Xiaoxiao clearly erected a tomb for him, why isn’t he dead?"

"If he’s not dead, then why did Bai Xiaoxiao erect a tomb?"

Su Zhan exclaimed in disbelief.

Su Lingfeng and Suling Yun looked at Lin Bai with interest, "So, you’re the one, Lin Bai, who had a duel once with the Imperial Uncle Su Lihai of our Su Dynasty!"

"Heh, this is interesting."

Su Lingfeng looked at Lin Bai with a mocking smile.

Su Kang immediately said, "Elder Brother Su Zhan, no matter why he is still alive, since he has fallen into the Luo Network on the Miracle Ridge today, we cannot let such an opportunity pass!"

"If the two of us work together and capture him to bring back to the Su Dynasty, that would be a great achievement!"

Su Kang knew that an opportunity for promotion and nobility had arrived.

Although Su Kang was also a disciple of the Su Dynasty, his status was not high, and his innate talent was lacking. Even after many years of cultivation, he was barely at the third level of the Flying Sky Realm.

Su Zhan coldly said, "Elder Brother Su Kang is right. Since he has thrown himself into the net, naturally, we cannot let him get away!"

Su Kang nodded slightly, "Your Highness Prince Su Lingfeng, and Princess Suling Yun, please step back. Leave this man to us to deal with!"

Su Lingfeng said disdainfully, "Not so fast. It’s not every day we meet a genius from the Miracle Ridge. I, for one, wish to exchange a few moves!"

With that said, Su Lingfeng pulled out a sharp sword from his storage bag and stepped in front of Lin Bai.

On his face was still the look of one who looked down upon those from the Miracle Ridge and Lingdong, "Listen, this prince will give you a chance. If you can withstand three strikes from me, you will be handsomely rewarded!"

Lin Bai chuckled, "Oh? Is that so?"

Su Lingfeng smiled proudly, "You, a warrior from Lingdong, might be blessed to receive a boon from the disciple of the Su Dynasty’s royal family. You could bring it back and worship it, day and night!"

Lin Bai looked at Su Lingfeng and gave a strange smile!

"Watch the sword! Long River Sword Skill!"

Su Lingfeng’s movement technique activated, his sword tip raised leisurely as he aimed a languid thrust at Lin Bai!

Lin Bai’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed.

He had originally thought that a disciple from the royal lineage of the Su Dynasty would have more formidable cultivation and sword art.

But Su Lingfeng’s opening move startled Lin Bai.

The sword skill seemed impressive, but in Su Lingfeng’s hands, not even a tenth of its power was exhibited!

The sword moves were slow and not vicious, the sword intention only at the sixth level!

This gave Lin Bai a new perspective on the so-called geniuses from Lingnan.

It appeared that not all warriors from Lingnan were geniuses; some were nothing more than good-for-nothings who bullied others because of their powerful families!

Suling Yun, with a charming laugh, spoke, "Wow, my brother Lingfeng’s Long River Sword Skill has become even more refined; it’s no wonder that even the famous sword skill masters inside the Su Dynasty say that Brother Lingfeng is a rare sword art genius of the century!"

While Su Lingfeng had just launched his sword, he heard Suling Yun’s laughter and turned his head towards her, casually saying, "Sister Suling Yun, you’re also quite talented. Just cultivate well, and one day, you’ll catch up with me!"

"Mhm! I’ll work hard too," Suling Yun nodded happily with excitement.

Suling Yun then turned back to continue her sword thrust at Lin Bai, her voice filled with mockery, "Kid, under the power of such a strong sword strike from me, have your legs gone weak with fear?"

"Prepare to die! To fall to this prince’s ’Long River Sword Skill’ is a blessing that you’ve cultivated in your lifetime!"

With a sneer, Suling Yun’s sword thrust forward!

Lin Bai helplessly rolled his eyes, utterly bored, and said coldly, "Do you realize that in the moment you launched your sword at me just now, I had a hundred ways I could have killed you?"

"And you were actually distracted during your sword technique, having a conversation with that woman! At this time, I had at least ten thousand ways to kill you!"

"And your sword technique is so flawed I can’t even count them all!"

Lin Bai took a step forward, effortlessly finding the weaknesses in Suling Feng’s sword technique, and delivered a fierce punch to Suling Feng’s face.

Puchi—

The pampered and delicate Suling Feng, with his fair little face, spat out blood from the punch delivered by Lin Bai and flew backwards, crashing heavily onto the ground with a continuous wail of pain!

Suling Feng raged, "You, you, you! How dare you injure me, how dare you injure a direct descendant of the Su Dynasty’s royal family? I don’t care who you are, your family, your relatives, they’re all as good as dead!"

"The Su Dynasty will surely have you quartered!"

Suling Feng, lying on the ground, pointed at Lin Bai and bellowed, "Even if you kneel down and beg for mercy, even if you lick my toes, I will not forgive you!"

"Shut up!" Lin Bai’s face hardened, and he drew the Emperor’s Heart Sword from his storage bag.

With a flick of the sharp sword, blood splattered everywhere!

Suling Feng’s throat was instantly sliced open by Lin Bai, blood spraying across the great hall!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!" Suling Yun, seeing this scene, turned pale with fear, covered her head, and screamed till her voice was hoarse!

Su Kang, upon witnessing the death of Suling Feng, was utterly shocked. He had been tasked to protect these princes and princesses, and if they died, the first one the Su Dynasty would hold accountable would be Su Kang himself!

"Lin Bai, face your death!"

Su Kang immediately struck out with ferocity.

Su Zhan, seeing this, hurriedly deployed his movement technique and pounced towards Lin Bai!

Lin Bai’s expression turned frosty as he moved, a flash of sword light sweeping across the throats of the two men!

Su Kang and Su Zhan immediately fell into a pool of blood!

Su Kang was slain in that instant.

Su Zhan still clung to a thread of life, looking at Lin Bai, he roared, "Lin Bai, don’t be smug, my son Su Cang will avenge me!"

"You’ve been away in Lingnan for two years, you can’t imagine how much he has grown!"

"You are now not even worthy to carry his shoes!"

Su Zhan’s eyes burned with resentment as he said.

Lin Bai coldly responded, "Rest assured, I will soon send Su Cang down to join you!"

Lin Bai approached, and with another stroke of his sword, Su Zhan finally fell helplessly into the pool of blood, dead for good.

And inside the Sect Leader’s Hall, the remaining disciples of the Su Dynasty, having seen Su Zhan, Su Kang, and Suling Feng succumb one after another to this man’s sword, were all terrified, their faces pale!

Especially Suling Yun, a spoiled and willful princess, when had she ever witnessed such a scene?

Of course, this princess was no saint either; since childhood, she took pleasure in tormenting warriors, using the Su Dynasty’s status to have experts cripple the warriors before allowing Suling Yun to slowly torture them to death!

"You’ve provoked the Su Dynasty, and you’re as good as dead!"

"Kid, just wait for your death, the iron cavalry of the Su Dynasty will make you beg for mercy!"

These disciples of the Su Dynasty viciously hurled threats at Lin Bai.

"Now that they’re all dead, you might as well follow."

Lin Bai’s gaze flashed as he looked at the other warriors of the Su Dynasty, his sword slicing through the air!

With a single slash of the sword, over a dozen young disciples of the Su Dynasty fell into a pool of blood on the spot!

As Lin Bai walked into the hall, he picked up a pot of wine, went to the edge of a cliff outside the Sect Leader’s Hall, sat down alone, and slowly drank his wine.

"Su Zhan was just the first!"

"But who will be the next? Will it be Yejian Jun, or Su Cang?"

"Or the Six Freaks of Lingnan?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll come for each of you one by one."

"This is only the beginning!"

Lin Bai took a sip of the strong liquor, his eyes filled with murderous intent, the corners of his mouth tracing a sinister smile.

Half a day later!

Bai Xiaoxiao led an army of ten million valiantly to the Miracle Ridge!

The higher echelons of the Miracle Ridge were shaken, filled with awe for the sole Empress of Lingdong!

Bai Xiaoxiao went straight to the Sect Leader’s Hall, and upon seeing the corpses of Su Cang and the Su Dynasty disciples in the hall, her expression was unperturbed.

Afterward, Bai Xiaoxiao exited the Sect Leader’s Hall and headed to a cliff...

There, from a distance, Bai Xiaoxiao saw a white-robed man, holding a pot filled with exquisite wine in one hand and a blood-stained Treasure Sword in the other. Seated alone on the cliff, he watched the sunset, sipping his drink in solitude...

What a lonely and sorrowful image!

In the afterglow of the setting sun, he seemed like a wandering swordsman with nothing in the world but the company of his sword and wine, with only solitude and sadness for companionship.

Bai Xiaoxiao watched him, taking step by step towards him...
