Chapter 1786: Chapter 1783 Intense Battle with Gu Yuan! (5 Updates)

The Xuantian Top Ten Talents refer to the ten disciples eligible to be apprenticed to the East Continent Academy, and without exception, they are the strongest disciples within the Xuan Tian Sect.

And Gu Yuan is one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents, demonstrating just how powerful he is.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s exclamation, Gu Yuan wasn’t perturbed and smiled slightly. Immediately, the peak power of the Ninth Level of the Yangshen Realm began to converge within him as he launched a punch towards Lin Bai.

Rumble——

As the punch was thrown, heaven and earth trembled, and the void shook!

"Late Stage Earth Realm!" As Gu Yuan made his move, Lin Bai instantly sensed the force of Gu Yuan’s Realm of Comprehension, which had reached the late-stage pinnacle, almost nearing the Great Perfection state.

A mass of earth-yellow flames gathered on Gu Yuan, crushing down on Lin Bai like a towering mountain.

With a casual punch, he gave Lin Bai a sense of being oppressed by the Life-and-Death Realm!

"Four Gods Sword Slash!"

Lin Bai hurriedly activated his sword skill, and four dazzling sword lights swept through the sky and earth, destroying everything in their path with boundless and terrifying sword might.

Seeing these four sword energies, Gu Yuan was taken aback and said, "You actually have such profound sword cultivation; no wonder even the usual Sixth Level Yangshen Realm warriors are no match for you!"

Gu Yuan’s fist descended and effortlessly shattered the four sword energies!

But after crushing the sword energies, Gu Yuan did not rush to strike and said, "Lin Bai, are you here to join the Xuan Tian Sect?"

Lin Bai replied with a grim expression, "Yes."

Gu Yuan frowned and asked again, "With your strength, achieving Ten Victories on the Fighting Peak should be a sure thing, so why haven’t you gained entry yet?"

Lin Bai replied coldly, "Hmph, Dingwu Lai colluded with the Elder on the Fighting Peak. I had already achieved ten consecutive victories, but Dingwu Lai had the Elder say that I’m not qualified to join the Xuantian Sect!"

"Next, Dingwu Lai summoned multiple Sixth Level Yangshen Realm warriors to engage me in successive battles. Hmph, what a pity he didn’t know that I had long since stopped viewing Sixth Level Yangshen Realm warriors as significant! "

Lin Bai said coldly.

Gu Yuan was somewhat surprised, but then he showed a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, "This Dingwu Lai is getting out of hand, does he really think the Ding Family can control everything within the Xuantian Sect?"

Lin Bai said coldly, "After so much empty talk, weren’t you also invited by him to deal with me? Well then, make your move."

Gu Yuan laughed, "Don’t misunderstand, back in the day, the Ding Family gave me a spiritual medicine to win me over, and it just so happened that I needed it to break through my cultivation, so I accepted it."

"But I never promised to join the Ding Family. I owe them for the spiritual medicine, so if they ask for my help one day, I will assist them!"

"So, when Dingwu Lai messaged me just now, it was based on this favor to ask me to act!"

"I have no real ties to the Ding Family."

Gu Yuan said indifferently.

"Alright then, Lin Bai, my realm is higher than yours, and my strength surpasses yours. Initially, I shouldn’t take action against you, but I have a deal with the Ding Family that I cannot refuse. How about this: I’ll let you make the first three moves, and after your three moves, I will strike." Gu Yuan said placidly.

"How about it?"

Gu Yuan inquired.

Lin Bai squinted; if Gu Yuan allowed him to strike three times first, defeating Gu Yuan was not impossible!

"In that case, I thank Brother Gu Yuan for conceding." Lin Bai cupped his hands and said.

"Please, show me all your skills." Gu Yuan smiled lightly.

Lin Bai’s expression immediately turned cold, as he summoned his spiritual power to the extreme, the demonic sword quivered in unison, and he slashed towards Gu Yuan, a strike imbued with the peak spiritual power of Lin Bai!

The power was tremendous, resembling an apocalyptic strike upon Gu Yuan.

"My goodness! The might of Lin Bai’s sword is incredibly powerful!" Many warriors around exclaimed in terror, especially Yu Qinglin and Li Mo, whose expressions were filled with astonishment as they simultaneously said:

"This sword’s power could directly slay even a peak Sixth Level Yangshen Realm warrior!"

Yu Qinglin and Li Mo remarked in surprise.

The fierce sword charged towards Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan stood with arms folded, allowing the sword to strike him, yet it didn’t break his defensive power, and he said with a faint smile, "Still two more moves!"

Seeing his sword didn’t even penetrate Gu Yuan’s defense, Lin Bai gritted his teeth, and a mass of crimson and orange flames emerged within, raising his cultivation force once again!

Gu Yuan exclaimed, "You even possess a secret technique to enhance your cultivation, how intriguing..."

The second scroll of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill was unleashed, raising Lin Bai’s cultivation force from the Fourth Level to the peak Sixth Level Yangshen Realm, and he wielded his sword again, launching another ferocious attack.

Originally, Lin Bai had obtained the third scroll of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, but over the past month, Lin Bai hadn’t had time to train with it. Time was precious, and Lin Bai had planned to settle down in the Xuan Tian Sect before practicing the third scroll.

Moreover, when slaying Long Lingxiao, Long Lingxiao’s Storage Bag was also in Lin Bai’s possession, in which Lin Bai was particularly interested.

Especially, Lin Bai wanted to find the "Zhanlong" manual from Long Lingxiao’s Storage Bag, as this sword skill was most suited for cultivation with Slaughter Comprehension!

However, at this point, Lin Bai hadn’t opened Long Lingxiao’s Storage Bag yet, so he didn’t know whether the Zhanlong Sword Skill was in it!

"Four Gods Sword Slash!" With the power boost of the second scroll of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, Lin Bai’s whole body surged with spiritual energy, wielding the Four Gods Sword Slash, which unleashed sword Qi that shattered space as it tore towards Gu Yuan.

As these four sword Qi emerged in mid-air, the world momentarily dimmed and trembled, as if the sword Qi was about to destroy everything in the world!

Gu Yuan’s expression tightened as he sensed the terrifying might of the four sword Qi, not daring to be negligent!

At this moment, as the four sword Qi struck, Lin Bai altered his sword skill and coldly said, "The third move is coming!"

"Single-Stroke Sword Skill!"

As the Four Gods Sword Slash attacked Gu Yuan, Lin Bai activated his third move, and the power of the Single-Stroke Sword Skill surged again, with a dazzling, blinding sword light descending upon Gu Yuan.

Rumble——

Initially, Gu Yuan was left in a sorry state by the Four Gods Sword Slash, and then Lin Bai’s Single-Stroke Sword Skill directly targeted Gu Yuan’s throat.

Squelch——

The sound of blood splattering followed.

Lin Bai’s sword directly penetrated Gu Yuan’s abdomen.

Just as Lin Bai’s sword was about to pierce Gu Yuan’s throat, Gu Yuan quickly maneuvered with his movement technique to dodge, evading the throat stab but unable to prevent the sword from piercing his abdomen!

Seeing Lin Bai’s demonic sword penetrate Gu Yuan’s abdomen, the surrounding warriors exclaimed in bewilderment: "Senior Brother Gu Yuan, was actually injured by Lin Bai..."

"Oh my God!"

"Senior Brother Gu Yuan, one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents, a dignified peak Ninth Level Yangshen Realm warrior, is actually injured by Lin Bai, a Fourth Level Yangshen Realm warrior!"

Li Mo exclaimed with great astonishment, "Lin Bai’s sword technique... is truly breathlessly powerful!"

Yu Qinglin said with fear in his eyes, "If Lin Bai succeeds in joining the Xuan Tian Sect, then perhaps the title of First Sword Cultivator in the Xuantian Sect will belong to him before long!"
