Chapter 1549 - 1546: Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Outer Sect Disciples!

Chapter 1549: Chapter 1546: Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Outer Sect Disciples!

Lu Ao and Fang Jin escaped their predicament and came to Lin Bai’s side.

"Don’t kill me."

"All of this was arranged by Young Master Yue Hua. He told me to say it!"

"It was Young Master Yue Hua who wanted to kill you!"

"Capturing Lu Ao and Fang Jin was also Gao Rui’s idea, it has nothing to do with me at all!"

Song Zi hurriedly explained to Lin Bai, desperately trying to dissociate herself from the matter.

Lin Bai, seeing Song Zi pleading incessantly, became even more indifferent and said, "Brother Fang Jin, Brother Lu Ao, this woman is handed over to you, kill or mutilate her as you please."

Lin Bai gave Song Zi a cold glance; it wasn’t that Lin Bai didn’t want to kill her, but rather, seeing that her heart had no inkling of murderous intent, and she showed no will to resist at all.

Killing a defenseless woman, terrified out of her wits, would bring no sense of glory to Lin Bai!

On the contrary, Lin Bai also knew that Lu Ao and Fang Jin wouldn’t let Song Zi off either.

"Good, I have long wanted to butcher this bitch!"

Lu Ao sneered coldly and slammed a palm down towards the top of Song Zi’s head.

Although Fang Jin didn’t like conflict, it was indeed Song Zi and Gao Rui who had joined forces to capture them just now.

Seeing Lu Ao making his move, Fang Jin also charged at Song Zi, not wanting to be outdone.

Song Zi, seeing Lin Bai not making a move, was overjoyed. Facing Lu Ao and Fang Jin was much easier for her than battling Lin Bai, so she quickly utilized her cultivation power and launched an attack on Lu Ao and Fang Jin.

However, after a hundred moves, Song Zi was directly slain by Lu Ao and Fang Jin with their swords!

In that instant, Li Zong was split in two by Lin Bai’s sword, and both Gao Rui and Song Zi met a gruesome death!

Manager Lang Ning stood there dumbfounded, looking at Lin Bai, and then shouted in panic, "Attack! All warriors, attack! Kill Dongfang Bai, kill Yue Qing. Those who return to Silver Moon Commerce Association will receive Young Master Yue Hua’s generous reward!"

Lin Bai, holding the Demonic Sword, stood proudly in the field, glancing at the thousands of warriors and said in a cold voice, "Those who aren’t afraid of death, come try your luck."

While there were many warriors, they feared Lin Bai’s cultivation level, and even more so, they feared the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect from Lingnan Continent that had been passed down for ten thousand years.

"Attack!" shouted Manager Lang Ning in a fit of rage.

A warrior showed a moment of hesitation, then spoke with sharp eyes, "Is Young Master Yue Hua really going to give us a great reward?"

Manager Lang Ning yelled, "Of course, once this matter is settled, I will personally go to Young Master Yue Hua to claim our reward! All of you, attack!"

The warrior’s expression hardened, and concentrating a surge of power throughout his body, he said eagerly, "Fine, for the sake of the reward, I’m all in!"

With gritted teeth, the warrior activated his cultivation skill, unleashing his martial techniques, as a sharp and unparalleled spiritual power streaked towards Lin Bai!

Lin Bai’s eyes turned frosty, glaring at the warrior, with the Demonic Sword ready in hand.

But before the warrior could make a move, a Sharp Sword swept across his neck, decapitating his head!

"Who dares to harm the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master!"

The moment the warrior’s head took flight, an Angry roar bellowed throughout the Wuji Mountain Manor.

Manager Lang Ning, utterly shocked, stared at the one who wielded the sword and angrily said, "Tang Biao, what are you doing! Why are you attacking our own people, where is Dongfang Bai?!"

The one who drew the sword was named Tang Biao, one of the warriors from Silver Moon Commerce Association who joined the siege against Yue Qing.

But now, Tang Biao had turned his hand against his own allies?

Tang Biao had just discerned that the Warrior intended to rush forward and fight Lin Bai to the death, and in an instant, he unleashed the Thunderbolt Sword, decapitating the man with a single stroke!

With a face full of fierceness, Tang Biao looked at Manager Lang Ning and said, "Manager Lang Ning, though I, Tang Biao, eke out a living under the Silver Moon Commerce Association, today I merely agreed to help you encircle Yue Qing, but I did not agree to help you surround the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

Lang Ning exclaimed in shock, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean?" Tang Biao snorted coldly, took out a set of clean clothes from his Storage Bag, quickly put them on, and then respectfully bowed to Lin Bai with folded fists.

"Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Tang Biao, pays respects to the Junior Sword Venerate!"

Tang Biao’s respectful bow was filled with reverence and awe: "I was unaware of the Junior Sword Venerate’s identity just now and have given offense. I ask for the Junior Sword Venerate’s forgiveness. Should I, Tang Biao, be fortunate enough to leave Wuji Mountain alive today, I will return to the Outer Sect’s Disciplinary Hall of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to accept my punishment!"

Lin Bai too was startled by Tang Biao’s actions, but upon hearing Tang Biao say this, Lin Bai responded, "Ignorance is not a crime; rise."

"Thank you, Junior Sword Venerate, for your magnanimity." Only then did Tang Biao stand up.

Lang Ning, fuming with rage and trembling, said, "Tang Biao, you... you... fine, fine, fine, since you wish to die today alongside your Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, then I shall oblige you!"

"Everyone else, attack!"

Lang Ning roared at the others as well.

Simultaneously!

Within Wuji Mountain Manor, sharp Sword Intentions and sword auras burst forth.

"Who dares to attack the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect? Seeking death?"

A Sword Cultivator burst forth from the ranks, arriving in front of Tang Biao, bowed with folded fists, and said, "Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Che Lun, pays respects to the Junior Sword Venerate!"

"Che Lun, you..." Lang Ning’s eyes widened in rage!

Afterward, from among these thousands of Warriors, all the Sword Cultivators swiftly leaped forth, converging by Tang Biao’s side.

"Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Jia Fang, pays respects to the Junior Sword Venerate!"

"Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Niu Yi, pays respects to the Junior Sword Venerate!"

"Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect..."

"Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect..."

"We all pay our respects to the Junior Sword Venerate!"

In that instant, over three hundred Sword Cultivators leaped out from the ranks and came to Tang Biao’s side, all without prior coordination, respectfully bowing to Lin Bai with folded fists.

Yue Qing, who was sitting against the wall, was shocked when he saw this scene.

What was once a hopeless situation took an unexpected turn the moment Lin Bai revealed his identity, giving a glimmer of hope.

"You are all Outer Sect Disciples?" Lin Bai looked at the more than three hundred Warriors before him in surprise; he did not recognize them, but from the Sword Intention and sword might they exuded, it was clear they were Sword Cultivators!

At this moment, Lin Bai suddenly recalled what Gui Jing had said in Purple Gold City: "Across the Lingnan Continent, wherever there are people, there will be Sword Cultivators, and wherever there are Sword Cultivators, they will surely be affiliated with the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

Within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, the number of Inner and Outer Disciples combined exceeded a million; and the disciples outside the Sect were even more numerous, so much so that the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect itself could not keep accurate count!

Over twenty thousand years, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect educated without discrimination; any Warrior who wished to pursue the Sword Art could directly enter the Outer Sect, and upon mastering the art, they could also leave the Sect.

Lin Bai remembered that in Purple Gold City, Gui Jing had once shouted loudly, and hundreds of thousands of Sword Cultivators had appeared, all claiming to be Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

Now Lin Bai understood why the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect was known as one of the Seven Great Unparalleled Sects of the Lingnan Continent; such a foundation was indeed among the few on the Lingnan Continent!
