Chapter 1346 - 1344: To Wear the Crown, One Must Bear Its Weight!

Chapter 1346: Chapter 1344: To Wear the Crown, One Must Bear Its Weight!

On Cold Mountain, Lin Bai gripped the Demonic Sword, its sharp edge pointed at the Clouded Leopard, immediately enveloping the surroundings with a torrential sword momentum.

The Clouded Leopard’s eyes flickered with a cold gaze, the corners of its mouth gradually curving into a chilling smile, a murderous intent filling the air alongside the Demonic Qi, spreading in all directions.

"Dad, it’s Dongfang Bai!"

Among the spectator martial artists, Gujian Yun exclaimed excitedly.

"I see." Gu Qingyun spotted Lin Bai appearing on Cold Mountain, a surprised smile appearing on his face, "I hope Dongfang Bai can win some honor for the Human Clan, to really show these members of the Demon Clan a thing or two!"

Gujian Yun said excitedly, "He definitely can! That damned Dongfang Bai may not seem reliable on regular days, but since he has climbed up to Cold Mountain, he must have some confidence!"

"Dongfang Bai, come on!"

Gujian Yun shouted toward Lin Bai.

"Successor of the Demonic Sword, come on, kill this beast!"

"You must not lose, for if you do, the Human Clan will lose face completely!"

"To wear a crown, you must bear its weight, Dongfang Bai! The Demonic Sword is not something anyone can wield! If you lose, you don’t deserve to be its successor!"

The martial artists shouted out to Lin Bai filled with anticipation!

Their voices fell into the ears of Lin Bai and the Clouded Leopard unchanged.

"They seem really hopeful that you will win, but I also enjoy this feeling, defeating a warrior of renown, making the surrounding spectator martial artists feel despair, this is the most fun," the Clouded Leopard said with a cruel smile.

"Rest assured, I won’t give you the opportunity to defeat me," Lin Bai replied with a faint smile.

Suddenly, Lin Bai heard Gujian Yun’s voice, his face darkened, and he thought to himself, "This girl, she’s so out of line. It seems she hasn’t had enough spankings on Sky Demon Ridge! Once I deal with the Clouded Leopard, I’ll deal with you!"

Of course, the Clouded Leopard had no idea what Lin Bai was thinking. If it knew, it would surely be surprised that Lin Bai, even in the midst of battle, had other things on his mind.

Distracted in the face of a great enemy was never a good thing!

"Hmph!" The Clouded Leopard snorted coldly, with a swift movement, a beastly wind howled into life, and the Clouded Leopard’s figure immediately disappeared from in front of Lin Bai.

The fierce wind howled across the top of Cold Mountain.

The heavens and earth changed colors, as if it were the end of the world!

Thousands of martial artists around them exclaimed in panic at the Clouded Leopard’s terrifying demonic presence, rolling up layers of noise!

Roar—

A deafening roar echoed from the raging winds.

At that moment, five claw marks tore through the air, wrapped in a power that seemed to split the very sky, aiming directly for the top of Lin Bai’s head!

"Such immense power!"

"The strength that the Clouded Leopard is showing now is at least three times greater than before!"

"Could it be that it wasn’t going all out when it was fighting Zhou Rong?"

"Doomed, now that Dongfang Bai faces the full might of the Clouded Leopard, I wonder if he can prevail!"

A group of martial artists turned pale with fear at the Clouded Leopard’s strength, nervously watching Lin Bai!

Above the clouds.

Gui Jing, Dong Qian, You Yihu, and others all had their pupils shrink!

These experts from the Seven Major Sects, standing at the pyramid’s peak of strength among the martial artists of Lingnan, naturally saw at a glance that the Clouded Leopard was fighting with full force!

They also felt anxious for Dongfang Bai in their hearts, unsure whether he could withstand such a formidable strike from the Clouded Leopard!

Five claw marks ripped through the void!

A sense of danger loomed over Lin Bai’s head!

Lin Bai’s lips curled into a sneer. The Demonic Sword slashed forward, a dazzling Sword Aura tore through the Cloud Sky, shredding the howling Black Wind in the heavens and after shattering the claw mark, struck heavily onto the chest of the Clouded Leopard!

Boom—

The Clouded Leopard was sent flying backward, landing on the edge of Cold Mountain, a sword mark dripping with fresh blood on its chest!

"The Clouded Leopard was careless," murmured the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, eyes narrowing as he watched the Clouded Leopard’s defeat from the sidelines.

Beside the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint stood a young man, who smiled wryly: "Indeed, the Clouded Leopard was careless. How could the Successor of the Demonic Sword be so easily dealt with?"

This young man, known as Hong Sha, was another accompanying Demon Beast King, whose strength was not far off from the Clouded Leopard’s!

Both the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint and Hong Sha could see at a glance that although the Clouded Leopard had struck with full force, it had still been careless. Otherwise, how could Lin Bai have so easily repelled it with a single sword strike?

"Excellent!" You Yihu and Gui Jing both shouted in delighted surprise, their eyes gleaming with joy.

A thrilled You Yihu said, "As long as we can take this strike from the Clouded Leopard, the subsequent battles won’t be a problem. During the fight between Zhou Rong and the Clouded Leopard just now, from the very beginning, he was completely oppressed by the Clouded Leopard, with no strength to fight back!"

Dong Qian commented with a faint smile, "The Successor of the Demonic Sword is indeed impressive. With the cultivation of the eighth level of the Flying Sky Realm, he could repel the Clouded Leopard at the Great Perfection of Flying Sky Realm with a single sword strike. It seems the power of this Demonic Sword is also exceptionally astonishing!"

"Gui Jing, Bao Song, it seems that this Successor of the Demonic Sword now belongs to your two Great Sects."

Dong Qian smiled faintly.

Upon hearing this, Gui Jing and Bao Song both cracked a slight smile, neither affirming nor denying.

Seeing this, Dong Qian’s lips also curled into a smile.

The Seven Major Sects, though they stood together enjoying lively banter, each harbored their own ulterior motives in secret. Who wouldn’t want to see their Sect become the strongest in Lingnan?

Therefore, Dong Qian had deliberately kicked the ball into Gui Jing and Bao Song’s court to provoke a dispute between the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and the Donglan Sword Sect. Clearly, Gui Jing and Bao Song were no fools, giving only a slight smile upon hearing Dong Qian’s words!

Clutching its chest, the Clouded Leopard slightly raised its head, its eyes filled with a surge of killing intent when it looked at Lin Bai.

"Heh! Surviving a strike from the Demonic Sword, you indeed possess some skill," Lin Bai said with a trace of a smile on his face.

The Clouded Leopard snorted coldly, "Enough talk, the fight isn’t over yet!"

"I was careless just now, this time I won’t give you an opportunity!"

With another heavenward roar, the Clouded Leopard’s body shook with Demonic Qi, and a destructive force emanated from it as if to tear the heavens and the earth apart.

Whoosh—

Transforming into an arrow, the Clouded Leopard shot out with extreme speed, directly aiming for Lin Bai!

"Gale Realm of Comprehension!"

Dong Qian, You Yihu, and Gui Jing were all slightly shocked!

The Demon Clan could also cultivate Realms of Comprehension, and they had a natural affinity for them. Their comprehension was even superior to that of the Human Clan!

At this moment, the Clouded Leopard utilized the Gale Realm, reaching a speed that was astoundingly fast.

Almost all the Spectator Martial Artists were unable to track the Clouded Leopard’s movements with their naked eyes!

"Die!"

An angry roar spread!

In front of Lin Bai, a terrifying claw mark viciously descended, its annihilative force making the complexions of the surrounding warriors turn rapidly pale, believing themselves certain to die under the Clouded Leopard’s strike!

"Even the Realm of Comprehension is being used, it looks like you are nearing your limit!" Lin Bai remained undisturbed under the Clouded Leopard’s strike.

"That works for me, I don’t want to waste time!"

"Since you want to win by speed, let’s see whose speed is faster!"

"Aurora Realm!"

Suddenly, amidst the Clouded Leopard’s strike powered by the fearsome speed of the Gale Realm, Lin Bai’s body vanished into thin air, followed by a dazzling sword light that cleaved through the heavens and earth!
