172: Chapter 172: I’ll kill for you to see!

When Lin Bai took three steps into the Trial Ground, he felt two icy killing intents condensing on him.

Lin Bai looked up to see Lin Zi’er and Ye Suxin’s icy gazes.

A cold smile emerged on the corner of his mouth.

“It’s you!”

Upon recognizing Lin Bai, Liu Liang was the first to attack, his eyes blazing with fury.

“Well, you even dare to show up in front of me.

Are you tired of living?” Liu Liang roared out.

Lin Bai had snatched a purple Inner Gate token right under Liu Liang’s eyelids, which ignited a raging fury inside Liu Liang.

“Lin Bai, you won’t be able to walk out of Wind God Sect alive.

Cherish the time you have left,” Lin Zi’er, always cold and aloof, glared at Lin Bai with predatory eyes and said this coldly.

“Lin Bai, for the humiliation during the re-examination, I will make you pay a hundredfold!” Ye Suxin seethed angrily.

Ever since Lin Bai slashed her from the back, a horrifying sword mark still marred the beautiful back of Ye Suxin.

The scar could not be erased.

“Whoa, who is this guy?

It seems like Lin Zi’er, Ye Suxin, Liu Liang all have a grudge against him!”

“This person seems to be Lin Bai, the recent Newcomer King of the Spirit Sword Sect.”

“It’s indeed Lin Bai.

This person is no ordinary one, you guys have no idea; when Lin Bai was in the Outer Sect of Spirit Sword Sect…”

Recognizing Lin Bai, a Warrior began to enthusiastically narrate his story in the crowd, adding dramatic embellishments to Lin Bai’s confrontations against the Divine Alliance and his killings in the Outer Sect, keeping the independent cultivators on the edge of their seats.

After the story, all those independent cultivators looked at Lin Bai with newfound respect.

“Senior Brother Lin Bai, give it your best shot!”

In the crowd, a Sword Alliance Warrior who recognized Lin Bai cheered him on enthusiastically.

Previously, since Lin Bai had been hiding within the crowd, even the Sword Alliance Warriors hadn’t recognized him.

Hearing the threatening words of Liu Liang, Lin Zi’er, and Ye Suxin, Lin Bai merely responded with a disdainful, cold chuckle.

“Are we not all grown-ups here?

Do you really think these threats of yours are meaningful?”

“Wait till you actually get your hands on me, then we can have that conversation.”

“But let me be blunt.

The notion that you three rotten eggs and bad potatoes can capture me, it’s like a pipe dream.”

Lin Bai sneered disdainfully.

“What did you say!?

How dare you talk to me like this?” Liu Liang roared at Lin Bai, livid with rage.

Lin Bai responded with a cold laugh, “I’m not scared of Lin Zi’er; you think I should be scared of you?”

“Who do you think you are?”

Hiss——

Lin Bai’s sharp words took everyone by surprise, causing the Warriors to gasp.

Many Warriors could not understand why Lin Bai was so arrogant – possessing the cultivation of just the Fourth Level of Earth Martial Realm yet daring to challenge Liu Liang, who had reached the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm.

Moreover, he had also provoked not just one, but three adversaries – Ye Suxin, Lin Zi’er, and Liu Liang.

“This Lin Bai is being way too arrogant.

Ye Suxin, Lin Zi’er, Liu Liang; any of them could easily kill him hundreds of times!” remarked a Warrior, astounded by Lin Bai’s audacity.

“Yes, he’s indeed arrogant.

But is it not true that all prodigies possess a degree of arrogance?”

“He’s just a youth enjoying his moment under the sun!”

Liu Liang, with eyes seeming to spit fire, glared at Lin Bai while grinding his teeth, “Senior, is this vile man really eligible to participate in the Trial Ground examination?”

“Is such a lowly person even worthy to stand with us?”

Liu Liang turned to the Mechanical Puppet and said, “I request the Senior to remove this person; otherwise, I cannot accept it.”

Hearing Liu Liang’s words, Lin Bai’s eyes turned frosty.

What does “not worthy to stand with me” mean?

Could it be that Liu Liang is worthy to stand with Lin Bai?

A fire was burning in Lin Bai’s heart as he fixed his gaze on Liu Liang, his face turning darker.

The Mechanical Puppet replied indifferently, “Everyone has the right to participate in the examination of the Trial Ground, without exception.”

“You are Lin Bai, correct?

Since you want to take the examination, I will give you a chance.”

The Mechanical Puppet spoke indifferently.

“Thank you, Senior.” Lin Bai’s voice was barely above freezing.

“Well then let’s see what a Warrior of the Fourth Level of Earth Martial Realm can do!” Liu Liang spoke dismissively, smirking in contempt.

“Well then, open your damn eyes wide!” Lin Bai angrily glared at Liu Liang as he said it.

“Laughable, do you honestly think you can surpass my accomplishments with your strength?”

“Can you kill a hundred puppets?”

“Ha, with your Cultivation, if you can kill ten puppets, it’s already a heavenly blessing.”

“Useless!”

Liu Liang responded with a scornful laugh.

“Do you think killing one hundred puppets is difficult?

Hehe.” Lin Bai smirked dismissively, “Senior, I’m ready, let’s begin.”

At his words, the mechanical puppet nodded slightly and stamped its foot.

Immediately, the entirety of the immobilized marionettes began to move, their speed as swift as lightning as they charged straight towards Lin Bai.

“I want to see just how capable you really are!” Liu Liang sneered.

Lin Bai was all-eyes.

The sprinting puppets surrounding him weren’t few in numbers, each possessing extraordinary power, roughly equivalent to the Fifth Level of the Earth Martial Realm.

“So, the puppets would randomly adjust their power according to the Cultivation of the martial artist taking the assessment.”

“With my Fourth Level of the Earth Martial Realm Cultivation, each puppet possesses power equivalent to the Fifth Level of Earth Martial Realm!”

“Now this is interesting.”

A strange gleam appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes, and, with a faint grin, his Sinister Wind Sword was unsheathed with a flourish.

“Liu Liang, keep your damn eyes open!”

“Wind Rise!”

A brilliant silver-white Sword Qi slashed through the air from Lin Bai’s Sinister Wind Sword.

The sword aura was extraordinary, as if it could destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth.

The Sword Qi slashed downward, leaving a dozen meter-long sword mark on the ground.

Boom boom boom——

Three successive explosions echoed as Lin Bai decimated three puppets with a single stroke!

Hiss!

Seeing this scene, all the martial artists at the entrance of the trial grounds sharply drew breath.

A puppet with the power equivalent to the Fifth Level of Earth Martial Realm was unable to withstand a single strike from Lin Bai?

“Good job, Senior Brother Lin Bai!”

“Senior Brother Lin Bai is really amazing, no wonder he dared to challenge the Divine Alliance!”

Many of the martial artists from Sword Alliance were frightened to their wits’ end watching this scene.

“Tsk, he only killed three puppets, I bet he can’t even kill ten.”

“Already using such a violent sword technique from the beginning, your True Qi can’t keep up.”

“You have at most two strokes left before your True Qi is completely depleted.”

Liu Liang scoffed disdainfully, completely unfazed by Lin Bai’s strike.

“Ha ha, my True Qi is infinite!” As soon as Lin Bai heard Liu Liang’s comment, he burst out laughing.

True Qi gushed out from within him and he activated the Qilin Step, his movement as swift as lightning as he dashed into the midst of the puppets.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——

Sword light surged, shining brilliantly from within each marionette.

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen puppets fell beneath Lin Bai’s sword, reduced to a pile of scraps.

“Liu Liang, I’ve already killed fifteen puppets.

Can your damn eyes see it?”

As Lin Bai brought down the fifteenth puppet, he looked at Liu Liang with a cold smirk and said.

“Damn it!

Even if you can kill over a dozen puppets, then what?

In my eyes, you’re still a trash, a lowly ant.

If I say I’m going to crush you, then I will.”

“I killed a hundred puppets.

This accomplishment is one you trash, could never surpass your whole life!”

Liu Liang declared arrogantly.

“Only a hundred puppets, hmph, watch me kill them!” Lin Bai stood tall with a smirk, sword in hand, he charged onto the field and entered the crowd of puppets.
