Chapter 1441: Chapter 1438: Beneath My Sword, No Man, No Buddha, and No Demon! (5 updates)

Three days later, Lin Bai woke up pale-faced from his room, and the first thing he did was to look at the one hundred and ten thousand Sword Marks on the walls around him!

Lin Bai sat cross-legged and tended to the injuries within his body.

Half an hour later, Lin Bai slowly opened his Eyes and looked at the one hundred and ten thousand Sword Marks, murmuring softly, "What kind of person left these Sword Marks and Sword Intention? They are filled with such anger... swearing to kill all the beings Under Heaven, to exterminate all the gods..."

"Relinquishing my seven emotions, severing my six desires..."

"No more attachments, only yearning for life and death..."

"Under my Sword, there is no man, no Buddha, and no demon!"

"Under my Sword, killing demons, gods, and immortals!"

"Destroying ten thousand spirits, slashing Heaven and Earth, this passage is simply the... requiem of All Heavens and Myriad Realms, the creatures of Earth!"

Fierce dread appeared in Lin Bai’s Eyes, "This is definitely not some kind of Cultivation and Martial Skills; it seems more like a... Realm of Comprehension!"

As Lin Bai was savoring the Sword Marks on the stone walls, the voice of Xiang Yun came from the door, "Junior Brother Dongfang, are you still cultivating?"

Lin Bai wiped the fresh blood from his lips and said, "Senior Brother Xiang Yun, please come in."

Xiang Yun pushed the door open and looked at Lin Bai with a slight smile.

Seeing Xiang Yun’s pale face, wretched expression, and haggard features, Lin Bai asked curiously, "Senior Brother Xiang Yun? What happened? Your complexion doesn’t look good."

Xiang Yun said, "I have already received the notification; tomorrow I will be forced into the arena! My opponent is a demon from the Demon Clan with ten victories, known as the Ripper Lion!"

Lin Bai heard and realized that it would be a tough battle!

Ripper Lion!

Just the name alone suggested a formidable character.

In the Reincarnation Arena, demons and Warriors initially had no names, but only an identification number, like Lin Bai, who was Heaven Character 9527!

After achieving ten victories in the Reincarnation Arena, the watching Warriors would, depending on the prowess shown in these ten duels, bestow a title upon the person!

"Ripper Lion," for example, was such a title. His real name was unknown to anyone.

"This might be my last battle," Xiang Yun said with a wan smile.

Lin Bai consoled him, "Senior Brother Xiang Yun, my Master once said that Tiandao has imperfections, as do all things in the world. You just need to engage him and find his weakness, and there might still be a possibility of winning!"

The Ripper Lion, with ten victories, was undoubtedly strong.

Achieving ten victories in the Reincarnation Arena already counted as uniquely formidable.

Xiang Yun gave a forced laugh, "Perhaps."

"Junior Brother Dongfang, I’m here to give you some things that I might not need anymore."

Xiang Yun took many items out of his Storage Bag and handed them to Lin Bai, saying, "This bottle contains Elixir Pills for cultivation, about more than a hundred pills, suitable for consumption at the Yin Saint Realm!"

"These Spiritual Medicines, if you have an opportunity to go out, have many miraculous uses..."

"This is Ores..."

Xiang Yun took out items one by one from the Storage Bag and passed them to Lin Bai, then meticulously explained the marvels of these items.

But Lin Bai was not in a good mood.

Xiang Yun’s demeanor was like he was settling his legacy!

Perhaps Xiang Yun knew that after tomorrow’s battle, he might not return.

Lin Bai silently watched Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, you may not need those Elixir Pills and Spiritual Medicines, but here’s a Sword Technique that might be of some use to you!"

After speaking, Xiang Yun took the best thing he had out of the Storage Bag.

This Sword Technique, after taking out many Miraculous Elixirs, was the treasure from the bottom of his box.

It could be imagined how significant this Sword Technique was for Xiang Yun!

Holding the Sword Technique, Xiang Yun’s gaze lingered on it, his eyes blazing with passion, and his face showed a genuine smile, indicating how important and highly he regarded this Sword Technique!

Xiang Yun said, "This Sword Technique is called ’Sword of Ten Steps,’ which I found in the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Wuse Pavilion, where it was originally an incomplete manuscript!"

"After I discovered ’Sword of Ten Steps,’ recognizing its exceptional uniqueness, I took a great liking to it and took it away. Later, I traveled extensively across the Lingnan Continent, and finally, I managed to find the other incomplete parts of ’Sword of Ten Steps’!"

"This has not been easy," he sighed. "It took me a whole ten years to recover all the fragments of ’Sword of Ten Steps’!"

"Now, I give it to Junior Brother."

With reluctance, Xiang Yun placed ’Sword of Ten Steps’ into Lin Bai’s hands, a smile playing on his lips.

Lin Bai’s expression was icy as he spoke to Xiang Yun, "Senior Brother Xiang Yun, you must return alive!"

Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Yes, I will certainly return alive."

"Junior Brother Dongfang, I have a favor to ask!"

Xiang Yun looked at Lin Bai as he spoke.

Lin Bai nodded and responded, "Please speak, Senior Brother Xiang Yun."

"There is still a younger sister of mine within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, named Xiang Qin. Should Junior Brother Dongfang be fortunate enough to return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, could you, for the sake of the hardships we have shared, look after her a bit?"

"If I am fortunate enough to return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, I will ensure that Xiang Qin comes to no harm!"

"Your words are enough for me, Junior Brother Dongfang."

Xiang Yun smiled slightly, "Then, Junior Brother, continue with your cultivation. I must leave now."

Having said this, Xiang Yun stood up, retreated to his room, and never came out again.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged in his room, wanting to visit Xiang Yun, but after thinking it over, he decided against it.

The next day.

Xing Hai arrived near Lin Bai’s room, and Lin Bai opened his eyes to look at Xing Hai.

Soon after, Xing Hai left with Xiang Yun!

As Xiang Yun passed by where Lin Bai lived, he offered a slight smile.

Lin Bai’s expression shifted unpredictably as he shouted to Xiang Yun, "Senior Brother Xiang Yun, you must survive!"

Xiang Yun left with a smile.

Lin Bai did not continue his cultivation but just sat in his room, waiting anxiously.

Including the Elixir Pills, the Spiritual Medicine, the Ores, and the highly cherished ’Sword of Ten Steps’ that Xiang Yun had given to Lin Bai, he did not store any of these items in his Storage Bag.

Lin Bai was waiting!

He was waiting for Xiang Yun to return, to return these belongings to him!

But he waited a long time!

Two hours!

Three hours passed, and Xiang Yun had not returned!

After ten hours, as Xing Hai passed by the outside of Lin Bai’s room, Lin Bai called out, "Xing Hai!"

Xing Hai stopped, turned to Lin Bai with a smile, and spoke no words.

Lin Bai’s face was cold, his heart somewhat unwilling, but eventually, he gritted his teeth and asked, "Where is Xiang Yun?"

Seeing the cold expression on Lin Bai’s face, Xing Hai smiled faintly and replied, "He is dead."

Hearing this, Lin Bai painfully closed his eyes; a dark cloud lingered on his face as a murderous aura emanated from his being!

Seeing Lin Bai in such a state, the corner of Xing Hai’s mouth curled into a smile again.

Lin Bai asked, "How many days until it is my turn?"

Xing Hai answered, "In five days, it will be your turn."

Lin Bai said coldly, "Then, can you arrange something for me? I want to fight the Ripper Lion!"

Frowning, Xing Hai responded, "Ripper Lion, he is a demon from the Demon Clan with eleven victories; according to the rules, the opponents we arrange for you are all strong ones with less than ten victories. With your strength, I wouldn’t advise you—"

Lin Bai, not letting Xing Hai finish, opened his eyes, a Sword Aura sharper than a Sharp Sword bursting from his pupil as he roared, "I want to fight him!"

Seeing the chilling gleam shooting from Lin Bai’s eyes, Xing Hai shuddered, his eyes widening in apparent fear!

Perhaps even Xing Hai was startled by the intensity in Lin Bai’s Eyes!

After a moment, Xing Hai regained his composure, speaking indifferently, "Alright, prepare yourself."

Hearing Xing Hai agree, Lin Bai slowly closed his Eyes again, his mind involuntarily recalling the words: "Under my Sword, there is neither man, nor Buddha, nor demon... Under my Sword, I slay demons, gods, and immortals..."
