Chapter 1671: Chapter 1668: Those Who Fish for Fame and Praise! (5 Updates)

Upon hearing Nie Xiong’s challenge, Luo Yu agreed without a second thought, a cold sneer on his lips: "What’s there to fear? We’re both at the First Level of the Yangshen Realm. To defeat you, it will only take a few strikes of my sword."

Ma Ritian’s expression changed drastically upon hearing Luo Yu’s words. He initially wanted to stop Luo Yu from agreeing, but before he could speak, Luo Yu had already accepted.

"Luo Yu, you mustn’t," Ma Ritian said urgently.

Luo Yu replied disdainfully: "Master, what is there to fear? Just a few days ago, I defeated a purple-robed disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect who was a Second Level warrior in the Yangshen Realm, and he was stronger than this one. Yet I defeated him. How could I possibly lose to someone at just the First Level of the Yangshen Realm?"

Nie Xiong looked at Luo Yu with wide eyes, exclaiming: "What? You defeated a purple-robed disciple from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and they were actually a Second Level disciple in the Yangshen Realm?"

"And with your capability, you managed to defeat a purple-robed disciple at the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm?"

Nie Xiong said incredulously.

Lin Bai also frowned.

At this moment, Luo Xuan spoke coldly: "Luo Yu, do not be disrespectful. Apologize to Senior Brother Nie Xiong at once, and I might persuade him to forgo this martial duel with you."

"You are no match for Senior Brother Nie Xiong, do not court disaster on your own!"

"What’s more, the purple-robed disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect are all geniuses. Even if they are at the same realm as you, it would be a piece of cake for them to defeat you, let alone someone a level above you. How could you possibly defeat him?"

Luo Xuan said coldly.

Luo Yu chuckled lightly: "So what, Luo Xuan? Those disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect are nothing but a bunch of fame-seeking individuals! They are not worthy of being invited to grand events. I advised you back then to join the Donglan Sword Sect, but you insisted on going to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"Now you see the gap between Donglan Sword Sect and Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

"Donglan Sword Sect is like a phoenix soaring in the Nine Heavens, while Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is just ants crawling on the ground. There’s simply no comparison between the two!"

Luo Yu said arrogantly.

"Outrageous!" Lin Bai was furious, slamming the table with such force that the entire mansion shook fiercely three times!

Every warrior present was terrified, their faces turning pale with fear due to Lin Bai’s powerful strength!

Even Luo Tianyou and Luo Xuan had faces as pale as sheet, looking at Lin Bai in horror!

Even Ma Ritian, his eyes widened rapidly, his expression changing, looking at Lin Bai in shock!

To Lin Bai, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect holds extraordinary significance!

Outside Haijian City, if Gui Jing hadn’t arrived in time, Lin Bai might have died at the hands of Mizuka that day.

In the Stars Secret Realm, Lin Bai killed so many experts. If it hadn’t been for the seven elders of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect who valiantly resisted, Lin Bai wouldn’t have walked out of Starry Sky City so easily.

Outside Starry Sky City, Lin Bai was besieged by the Guardian of the Sect Supreme-level warriors from the Saint Seal Sect, Fenxin Sect, Luotian Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, and it was Elder Sui An and Gui Jing who brought Elder Feng Yue of the Seventy-two Peaks from the Litian Dynasty to save Lin Bai from thousands of miles away!

After returning to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, the Sect Leader Sword Master was concerned about Lin Bai’s injuries, even angrily splitting the Sword Master Hall in two with his sword, then purchased the Three-Month Life Extension Pill for Lin Bai, allowing Dongfang Bai to hang on until Lin Bai’s true self arrived at the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

Back then, Dongfang Bai, on his deathbed, said: If the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect ever needs me in the future, no matter how far, as long as I have a breath left, I will rush back to save the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect from disaster!

All of this has connected the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and Lin Bai with countless ties that can never be severed.

Luo Xuan spoke urgently: "Senior Brother Dongfang, please calm your anger!"

Lin Bai’s eyes glared menacingly at Luo Yu, his internal fury gradually calming down.

"Fame-seeking individuals!"

"Hmph hmph!"

"Donglan Sword Sect is a phoenix in the sky, while my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect is an ant on the ground!"

"Hmph hmph."

"Fine, very fine!"

"I really don’t know who taught him to say such words."

Lin Bai coldly glanced towards Ma Ritian.

"Nie Xiong, since someone doubts our Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s strength, let him witness the prowess of a purple-robed disciple," Lin Bai said coldly.

Nie Xiong, also seething with anger, replied coldly: "Rest assured, Senior Brother Dongfang, it’s truly unbearable to swallow this insult to our sect in front of our eyes!"

Nie Xiong leapt out into the middle of the field: "Come, Luo Yu, let me see what you’re capable of!"

At this moment, Li Chou stopped eating his meat and glared at Luo Yu, muttering: "Insulting the sect is not allowed!"

Luo Yu sneered at Li Chou with a cold laugh: "For a sect where even a fool can be accepted, I don’t think it can be that strong!"

"If you wish to fight, then I, the Son of Prince, will accompany you!"

"However, let’s agree on one thing—if you lose to me, your Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s reputation will truly be in ruins."

"By then, don’t blame my Luo Family for not showing you any face!"

Luo Yu drew a white jade treasure sword and walked to face Nie Xiong.

At this moment, Luo Tianyou hurriedly clasped his hands toward Lin Bai, saying: "Young Sword Master Dongfang, the younger generation of my family is ignorant and presumptuous. I ask you not to take offense. Our Luo Family..."

Lin Bai, with a cold expression, raised his hand to interrupt: "No problem, Patriarch Luo. Our disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect lack skill. It’s rare to meet a Sword Immortal. It is indeed necessary to spar; otherwise, wouldn’t it make everyone under heaven think that our sword cultivators of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect are indeed just fame-seeking individuals?"

Luo Tianyou, hearing Lin Bai’s firm words, looked towards Luo Xuan and said: "Xuan’er..."

At this moment, Luo Xuan glared at Luo Yu with disgust and said softly to Luo Tianyou: "Father, Senior Brother Dongfang has already grown somewhat angry, and this fight is inevitable!"

"Let Luo Yu suffer a bit. But based on my relationship with Senior Brother Nie Xiong, I believe Senior Brother Nie Xiong won’t kill Luo Yu. Don’t worry, Father."

In the field, Luo Yu and Nie Xiong stood firm!

"I’ll let you strike first, otherwise if I strike first and defeat you, you’d go around accusing me of sneaking an attack on you, winning undeservedly. Then wouldn’t your Heaven-reaching Sword Sect find another excuse?"

Luo Yu said with a cold smile.

Nie Xiong, with a face full of rage, gritted his teeth and said: "Fine, in that case, I’ll accept your challenge."

Nie Xiong’s expression shifted, a mighty sword aura gathered, and a shroud of Late Stage Realm of Comprehension in Sword Intention spread throughout the field. This sword contained the full power of the First Level of the Yangshen Realm!

The sword slashed with a force that could shatter mountains and rivers, heading straight for Luo Yu’s face.

Rumbling——

A loud shaking reverberated throughout Luo Family City.

The color of the world faded, the sun and moon lost their light!

A sword shot out from Nie Xiong’s hand, piercing the void, heading straight for Luo Yu’s face.

Witnessing this sword coming from Nie Xiong’s hands, Luo Yu’s expression rapidly changed, his face turning pale, his steps took rapid retreats, shock evident on his face.

Hiss——

At the banquet, regardless if they were Luo Family’s warriors or the nine others recruited, they all watched Nie Xiong’s sword, their expressions filled with fear!

The power of this sword was nearly capable of directly defeating a pinnacle Second Level Yangshen Realm warrior!

Luo Yu hurriedly attempted to counter with his sword, but his sword skills were virtually weak and couldn’t withstand Nie Xiong’s sword. He could only watch as Nie Xiong’s sword shredded all his defenses, heading for his body!

"Master... Master, save me!" Luo Yu cried out in terror to Ma Ritian.

Luo Xuan also hurriedly stood up, saying: "Senior Brother Nie Xiong, please show mercy!"

Nie Xiong, face filled with ruthlessness, seemed to ignore Luo Xuan’s words, thrusting his sword viciously!

Lin Bai sat in his seat, coldly huffed, flicked his fingers, and a flash of sword light shot from between his fingers, shattering Nie Xiong’s sword qi...
