Chapter 1619: Chapter 1616: Seeing Jian Ruohan Again...

The Saint Son of Fenxin Sect, Yang Changdong, looked at Lin Bai with a cold expression and said, "It seems that Dongfang Bai, the Junior Sword Venerate, intends to protect the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain today?"

Lin Bai replied coldly, "You demand the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain to kill themselves as soon as you open your mouth, don’t you know that I am the leader of the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain? Asking me to commit suicide, that I cannot do!"

"Humph!" Yang Changdong let out a cold laugh, as a storm of power from the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm unfurled around him, and he jeered, "Then it seems today I must get a taste of Dongfang Bai, the Junior Sword Venerate’s cultivation!"

Lin Bai swept a disdainful glance at Yang Changdong and said with contempt, "Forgive me for being blunt, but you are not even worthy of my attention! Scram, and stop embarrassing yourself here!"

"You! You actually look down on me!" Yang Changdong’s pride was once again injured, fury written all over his face.

Lin Bai’s expression remained unchanged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"How about if I join in?"

Just then, in the distant sky, a sharp and unmatched Sword Intent burst through the clouds, like a heavenly saber cleaving down from the sky, shattering all things in the world and slashing towards the inside of East City!

Along with this terrifying Sword Intent came a group of young men and women.

The one leading them was a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old young man, dressed in a black robe, with a resolute face and eyes as sharp as if harboring a godly saber capable of destroying heaven and earth!

"Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"The one leading them is actually the Saint Son of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Yu Liang!"

Following the appearance of this group of young men and women, disciples of Fenxin Sect and sword cultivators of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect within East City let out a chorus of astonished cries.

"Saint Son Yu Liang." Upon turning his head and seeing who it was, Yang Changdong greeted with a faint smile, "I didn’t expect this matter would even alarm you."

Yu Liang, accompanied by the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, came to Yang Changdong’s side and said coldly, "I originally had no intentions to intervene, but I can’t stand the conduct of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"In martial arts sparring, failing to restrain oneself can happen," Yu Liang said icily.

"However, hiding Sword Qi to assassinate others is utterly despicable and contemptible!"

With Yu Liang’s arrival, he spoke with a chill, and a frightening intent of the sword circulated around him.

Yu Liang’s cultivation was also merely at the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm!

"Dongfang Bai, the Junior Sword Venerate, I’m wondering if, with my addition, would I be worthy of your attention?" Yu Liang took a silver long saber from his Storage Bag and said to Lin Bai coldly.

Lin Bai silently watched Yang Changdong and Yu Liang.

But before Lin Bai could speak, another light laughter came, "If Dongfang Bai, the Junior Sword Venerate, is still not satisfied, then how about adding the two of us?"

At that moment, from within East City, a man and a woman flew out, arriving above the dwelling place of the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain, standing behind Lin Bai!

Upon hearing the speaker, Lin Bai turned around to look!

This man and woman, the man had a handsome face with a carefree smile at the corner of his mouth, his gaze was warm as he looked at Lin Bai, but the sharpness of his Sword Intention was as terrifying as a venomous snake!

Next to the man, separated by a hundred meters, stood a woman in a white robe and skirt.

This woman had an icy face, a coldness unlike the usual, as if she could freeze heaven and earth with her chilly aura. Standing mid-air, she rapidly gathered sharp ice beads within a hundred meters, which fell to the ground.

Her face was pale, an extreme whiteness not of the normal kind, as if there was not a drop of blood in her body.

Her eyes were icy, not the usual black, but a white hue instead...

Her lips, unlike those of others, were pitch black, not made up, but as if she had been tainted with a deadly poison!

Behind her, Lin Bai once remembered, her three thousand strands of black hair falling like a waterfall down to her waist, but now, her black hair had turned into an icy white color, an especially bizarre and bewitching shade of white!

She stood in mid-air, a hundred meters in radius filled with the power of icy coldness, her body donned in white robe and hair, with white pupils, a breath of deathly stillness circulating around her.

She stood there, an embodiment of "no living person shall enter".

Lin Bai stared at the woman, his gaze blank, his mind shocked, and couldn’t help but say: "How did you become like this..."

This woman, was none other than Jian Ruohan!

The current Jian Ruohan was drastically different from the Jian Ruohan in Lin Bai’s memory!

The former Jian Ruohan, though cold in demeanor, had a warm heart and was extremely helpful.

But now, Jian Ruohan, with her white robe, icy white hair, her white pupils, there wasn’t a trace of life in her, filled with deathly stillness, like a block of ice!

Lin Bai was dumbfounded!

Lin Bai couldn’t believe it, wondering what had happened to Jian Ruohan, that she could have transformed into such a state.

From a person, to a block of ice!

However, the only thing that hadn’t changed was that in her hands, she still held... Amazing Dream!

Lin Bai’s gaze paused on Jian Ruohan in a moment of distraction, which greatly displeased Yejian Qiu, who coldly said: "Dongfang Bai Sword Master, don’t you think staring at our Donglan Sword Sect’s Saintess like that is beneath your status?"

Hearing Yejian Qiu’s voice, Lin Bai shifted his gaze from Jian Ruohan, his mind violently agitated.

Lin Bai firmly believed that something significant must have happened to Jian Ruohan, otherwise, she would not have become this ghostly and unrecognizable figure.

"What exactly happened to you, to make you turn into such a ghostly and unrecognizable figure!" Lin Bai said, with a tinge of heartache.

Jian Ruohan had once helped Lin Bai in many ways on the Miracle Ridge.

To Lin Bai, Jian Ruohan was vital, she was an irreplaceable friend in his life, a confidant!

In Lingdong, it was Jian Ruohan who gave Lin Bai the opportunity, allowing him to attend the meeting of Dongling’s First Sword Cultivator at the Famous Sword Manor, where he obtained Spiritual Medicine and cultivated "The Great Five Elements Skill".

On the Miracle Ridge, in the Martial Intent Mountain, Jian Ruohan fought desperately for Lin Bai to gain fortune!

During Lin Bai’s most helpless times, when he needed help the most, when he was at odds with the world, Jian Ruohan stood firmly at Lin Bai’s side without a word of complaint, supporting and encouraging him!

Even if Lin Bai attracted invincible enemies!

Even if Jian Ruohan knew that helping Lin Bai might bring fatal dangers to herself.

Yet she, as always, appeared by his side when he most needed help and offered her support!

Lin Bai’s eyes gradually reddened, his fists clenched, he silently vowed: "Whoever made you like this, is now on my, Lin Bai’s, kill list!"

"Ruohan, now is not the time for you and me to recognize each other..."

"Wait for me, I will come to find you!"

The moment Lin Bai took his gaze off Jian Ruohan, he firmly thought to himself.

Jian Ruohan’s expression was dull, like ice, with no change in her appearance, but in the instant of eye contact with Lin Bai, a slight flicker of life appeared in her dead white pupils, but soon after, a look of confusion emerged again...
