Chapter 1686: Chapter 1683: The Bloody Banquet! (5 more)

The might of the King Level Sword Skill, Single-Stroke Sword Technique, erupted once again.

With one slash, Lin Bai cleaved Yan Lin’s incoming black Giant Palm Imprint right in half!

Simultaneously, Lin Bai stepped forward, his terrifying sword aura enveloping the space around Yan Lin. A dazzling sword light shot skyward before slashing downward violently!

"The Vertical Stroke!"

Under this sword, panic flashed across Yan Lin’s face. He increasingly felt the overwhelming dominance and terrifying power contained within Lin Bai’s sword momentum!

Splurt—

Yan Lin was sent flying backward instantly, coughing up blood as his expression turned despondent.

"Looks like that’s about it," Lin Bai muttered. He had originally intended to test whether, with the cultivation of the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm and without utilizing the Power of the Giant God, he could slay a warrior at the Sixth Level of the Yangshen Realm!

Now that Yan Lin was gravely injured by Lin Bai’s strike, Lin Bai realized that his strength was likely already on par with that of a Sixth Level Yangshen Realm warrior.

"Horizontal and Vertical!"

Gritting his teeth, Lin Bai condensed two sword lights into one, slashing towards Yan Lin with a heaven-reaching strike that split the sky and earth!

"Damn it! I am a dignified warrior at the Sixth Level of the Yangshen Realm! The Guarding Supreme of the Luotian Sect! How could I be defeated by you!" Yan Lin roared angrily, a massive wave of power surging from within him like an erupting flood.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Hand of the High Sky!"

With a ferocious expression, Yan Lin let out a long howl towards the heavens. Endless black smoke gathered above him, forming an incomparably gigantic hand, which crashed down upon Lin Bai with immense force.

The power contained within this strike could instantly gravely wound even a warrior at the Seventh Level of the Yangshen Realm!

Its terrifying might struck awe into those present!

Splurt—

Lin Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, tumbling backward in a disheveled state. The sheer force of that hand shattered all of Lin Bai’s sword aura, wounding him severely!

"Master, well done! Master, kill him, kill him!" Lu Si snarled with a twisted grin. "Dongfang Bai, once you’re dead, I’ll personally visit your family, find your parents, your wife, your children!"

"I’ll ensure all the women in your family become prostitutes, and every man becomes a eunuch!"

"Hahaha!"

Lu Si erupted into wild laughter.

These words resounded across the entire venue, falling into the ears of all present warriors.

Nie Xiong and Li Chou heard this and immediately cast hostile glares toward Lu Si. In that moment, the killing intent on their faces intensified.

The Lyle Family Head, witnessing Yan Lin unleash his Martial Soul, felt assured of victory. Dongfang Bai was doomed to die today. Now free of any reservations about Dongfang Bai, a sneer of ridicule surfaced on his face.

As for Lu Si’s taunts, the Lyle Family Head made no effort to intervene!

"You... courting death!" Lin Bai’s eyes turned blood-red upon hearing Lu Si’s words, a murderous aura radiating from him and coalescing into a blood-red aura around his body!

Swoosh—

Suddenly, a streak of blood-red light shot out from the crimson mist, heading straight for Lu Si with a sword strike.

"Dongfang Bai, your opponent is me!" Yan Lin, furious at seeing Lin Bai charge toward Lu Si, retaliated with his Martial Soul Secret Skill!

"Yan Lin! You still think you’re my match?"

"Insolent!"

Lin Bai whipped around suddenly, the power of three comprehension realms—Slaughter Comprehension, Aurora Realm, and Stormy Ambience—exploding and merging into one sword strike!

"Slaying Immortal!"

Lin Bai turned and slashed with unparalleled ferocity!

The devastating power of the Slaying Immortal Sword erupted, cleaving Yan Lin’s Martial Soul Secret Skill—Hand of the High Sky—in half. Yet, the sword qi didn’t stop there; it swept through Yan Lin, and when the attack passed, it slashed Tianxiao City itself cleanly in two!

The sword qi crossed Yan Lin’s body, splitting his forehead open with a bloody crack, before erupting violently. Yan Lin was split in half and collapsed into a pool of blood!

"Senior Yan Lin... was killed by Dongfang Bai?"

At the moment Yan Lin’s body burst apart, slashed by Lin Bai’s sword, all surrounding warriors froze in shock!

How could this be possible?

Moments ago, Yan Lin had wielded his Martial Soul Secret Skill with unstoppable momentum, furiously pressing Lin Bai. Yet in this instant, Lin Bai had killed him with a single strike!

"That sword just now..."

"Its power... was immense!"

"That sword was truly strong!"

Among the spectators were many sword cultivators. Witnessing Lin Bai slay Yan Lin with that single sword strike, they gasped in awe, deeply feeling the boundless swordsmanship and terrifying might contained within it!

"Senior Yan Lin!" The Lyle Family Head stared in disbelief at Yan Lin’s lifeless corpse.

"Master..." Lu Si stammered, consumed by fear.

"Dongfang Bai, you’re doomed! You’re doomed! My master was the Guarding Supreme of the Luotian Sect! You killed him—the Luotian Sect will never let you go!" Lu Si pointed at Lin Bai and roared furiously.

Lin Bai, eyes as red as blood, walked toward Lu Si, sword raised without a word, ready to cut him down!

"I initially spared you because you possess an Emperor-grade Martial Soul and great potential. I didn’t want to bear the stain of killing a genius. But you’ve repeatedly provoked me—did you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?"

"Hmph, so what if he was the Guarding Supreme of the Luotian Sect? So what if the Luotian Sect has a Saint?"

"Kill one? Just kill them!"

Lin Bai glared at Lu Si coldly and said, "Just as Nie Xiong mentioned earlier, if Yan Tuo were still alive, how could the position of Saint within the Luotian Sect ever have fallen to you?!"

"You wouldn’t dare kill me! You wouldn’t dare! I am the future Saint of the Luotian Sect, its future ruler! If you kill me, the Luotian Sect will hunt you down!" Lu Si shouted in terror.

"Well, I’ve already killed one, so what’s another?" Lin Bai raised his Demonic Sword. A flash of blade light shot out, severing Lu Si’s head clean from his body as blood sprayed everywhere.

"No! Lu Si!" The Lyle Family Head let out a grief-stricken wail, his face contorted with fury. "Dongfang Bai, I will make you pay in blood! Warriors of the Lyle Clan, heed my command: spare no effort, kill Dongfang Bai!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

The Lyle Family Head roared madly.

At that moment, countless warriors from the Lyle Clan charged toward Lin Bai, including the clan’s stewards and elites!

"You all court death!" Lin Bai’s gaze turned vicious, and with a wave of his Demonic Sword, Stormy Ambience combined with the Devouring Sun Sword Skill to unleash a devastating arc of sword light, slaughtering all the approaching attackers!

Meanwhile, Nie Xiong and Li Chou also struck instantly.

Zhang Ye clenched his teeth and charged in with determination!

The banquet in the Lyle household descended into a carnage-filled bloodbath!

One by one, the warriors of the Lyle Clan fell under Lin Bai and his allies’ swords. Within moments, every powerful warrior above the Yin Saint Realm was wiped out!

The Lyle Family Head was cleaved in half by Lin Bai’s sword!

The Lyle Clan—annihilated!

Amidst the mountain of corpses and sea of blood that marked the Lyle Clan’s demise, Lin Bai, Nie Xiong, Li Chou, and Zhang Ye stood proudly, while the warriors who had come to the banquet were left utterly stunned, staring at Lin Bai with reverence and fear.

Lin Bai said coldly, "Since the Lyle Clan is destroyed, all its industries and cultivation resources will now belong solely to Lady Yuan Feng of Baiyang Town. Anyone who dares to claim them for themselves—I will come for them!"

Overwhelmed with joy, Yuan Feng looked at Lin Bai. The industries of the Lyle Clan in Tianxiao City were a lucrative prize. Now that Lin Bai had declared her the heir, the remaining Eight Great Clans of Tianxiao City wouldn’t dare provoke this demonic sword cultivator from the Lingnan Continent!

"Thank you, Young Sword Master Dongfang!" Yuan Feng said tearfully, full of gratitude.

Her heart was filled with emotion. Moments ago, she had been at Lu Si’s mercy, nearly reduced to being his concubine. Yet, in an instant, she had become the ruler of a new clan among Tianxiao City’s Nine Major Clans!

"Time to find the next one," Lin Bai muttered as he sheathed his Demonic Sword, his gaze dark and sharp. "Cold Sea Blade Master!"
