Chapter 199: Chapter 199: The Experts on the Top 100

Qian Dongjin was completely stunned by the power of Lin Bai’s sword.

What kind of power was this? It must have belonged to a warrior within the top thirty of the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking.

"Who are you?" Qian Dongjin refused to believe that a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect who possessed such power could be unknown. Therefore, he demanded in a stern voice.

Lin Bai laughed lightly, "As for me, my name is Lin Bai. I’m an unknown at the moment, but after tomorrow, my name will echo throughout the Spirit Sword Sect."

"Because after tomorrow, I will defeat every warrior of the Divine Alliance."

Lin Bai claimed with a light chuckle.

"You’re Lin Bai!" Qian Dongjin shouted, his eyes narrowing with the revelation.

Lin Bai’s name was well-known among the Divine Alliance, virtually all of their warriors remembered his name.

Because Lin Bai is now the public enemy number one of the Divine Alliance.

When Lin Bai killed over a dozen elite disciples of their outer gate, the Divine Alliance warriors were all enraged and they continuously challenged him. However, all were slain by Lin Bai.

Later, Lin Bai even vowed that three months from then, he would accept the challenge of all fighters in the Earth Martial Realm of the Spirit Sword Sect on the No Return Cliff.

And now, only one day was left until the end of that three-month period.

That would be tomorrow.

"Good job, Senior Brother Lin Bai, kill these bastards of the Divine Alliance!"

"Qian Dongjin, what’s wrong? Weren’t you boasting just now? Let’s hear you shout now."

"Are all the Divine Alliance warriors so ill-mannered, barking and biting indiscriminately just like a rabid dog?"

Seeing Qian Dongjin in a predicament, many of the Sword Alliance warriors burst into delighted laughter.

Many martial artists even began to refer to Lin Bai as their senior brother.

In this world, the early bird takes the worm.

Lin Bai’s cultivation had already surpassed these other Sword Alliance warriors. Therefore, for them to address him as their senior brother, it would be an acceptable display of reverence.

"Humph, Lin Bai, don’t get cocky. Tomorrow is your self-imposed deadline, if you dare to go to the No Return Cliff, there’s no way you will return alive." Qian Dongjin mocked upon hearing Lin Bai’s admission.

Laughing off his previous anger, he said more confidently than ever, "Tomorrow, you’re doomed."

"Let me tell you, out of the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking, Divine Alliance warriors account for ninety positions. Apart from the top ten which consists of Heaven Martial Realm warriors, the remaining eighty have all returned to the Spirit Sword Sect."

"Once you dare step foot on the No Return Cliff tomorrow, you will most certainly meet a violent death."

"The brother ranked 17th, Li Daohen, has already announced that he will need only a single stroke to eliminate you."

Qian Dongjin coldly stared at Lin Bai as he spoke. In his eyes was a trace of disdain, and even a bit of pity towards Lin Bai.

"Li Daohen...he’s back?" The name made the bodies of many Sword Alliance warriors tremble in unison.

Li Jianxing whispered into Lin Bai’s ear, "Li Daohen is an extremely formidable blade practitioner of Divine Alliance. His blade skills are utterly terrifying. Although he’s ranked 17th, his combat power is in no way weaker, even surpassing some of those ranked ahead of him."

"Li Daohen is back, that bloodthirsty madman."

"My God, how did he come back?"

The Sword Alliance warriors started to exclaim in panic upon hearing this name.

Hearing that the Sword Alliance warriors were already being spooked by Li Daohen’s name, Qian Dongjin laughed again, "So, you’re already scared? Let me tell you, Murong Yeshen has also returned. Furthermore, under the command of the young Sect Leader Su Cang, he has vowed that Lin Bai will certainly be left on the No Return Cliff tomorrow!"

"Murong...Yeshen!"

Upon hearing this name, the Sword Alliance warriors were not just exclaiming in surprise, but they were gripped with fear.

Lin Bai could almost hear the gasps of the Sword Alliance warriors.

When they heard about Li Daohen, there were merely some exclaims of surprise.

But when they heard about Murong Yeshen, it turned into outright fear.

Lin Bai was somewhat puzzled. He knew too little about the top masters listed in the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking.

Lijian Xing’s eyes were deep with apprehension as he said, "After Murong Yeshen joined the Spirit Sword Sect, he took action just once. That one time, he defeated a warrior from the first layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, and he did it very easily. In an instant, he went from being an unknown warrior to the eleventh on the Inner Gate Top Hundred List."

"Moreover, since then, all the martial artists who challenged Murong Yeshen were defeated by him in one move - he never needed a second."

"Murong Yeshen, he is a legend in the hearts of the inner sect martial artists."

"Cai Xuan, who ranked first on the Inner Gate Top Hundred List, once said: among all inner disciples, only Murong Yeshen is worthy to compete with him."

Lijian Xing relayed these words into Lin Bai’s ears in a calm tone.

Having heard about the grand reputations of Li Daohen and Murong Yeshen in the inner sect, Lin Bai’s face remained calm, without a ripple of emotion.

"Are you scared yet? Hahaha... Even if you are, it won’t do you any good - you will surely die tomorrow!" Qian Dongjin laughed wildly at Lin Bai.

"Whether I’m scared or not is not your business. But, are you scared of me now?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Why should I be scared of you? This is within the Mountain Gate of the Spirit Sword Sect. Do you dare to kill me here? Hmph, a useless piece of trash from the Sword Alliance daring to go against the Divine Alliance!" Qian Dongjin glared contemptuously at Lin Bai, laughing coldly.

"While I don’t dare to kill you, I can still make sure you’re disabled for life!" Lin Bai stared at Qian Dongjin, gave a icy smile, and rushed straight towards Qian Dongjin as quickly as lightning.

Seeing Lin Bai charging towards him, Qian Dongjin bellowed, "You insignificant insect, how dare you make noise with me?"

"Die!"

Qian Dongjin threw a powerful punch, whose untamed force was enough to break a mountain, careening towards Lin Bai.

But Lin Bai, with the gleam of cunning in his eyes, met the punch with a fierce slash of his Sword Qi.

Immediately, Lin Bai advanced forward a step, chopping off Qian Dongjin’s left arm with his sword. He then dealt a swift kick to Qian Dongjin’s abdomen.

Splat—

Qian Dongjin howled out in agony, vomiting blood as he was flung backwards.

"Aaaaah! Lin Bai, you dare!"

Qian Dongjin lay on the ground covered in blood, bellowing in rage.

"What wouldn’t I dare to do?"

Lin Bai strode forward, able to inflict injury on Qian Dongjin, the sharp edge of his sword severed all of Qian Dongjin’s body’s meridians."

"Aaaaaaaaah—"

From Qian Dongjin’s mouth came the terrible shriek of pain after the meridians of his body were severed by Lin Bai, his Dantian shattered, his body was bleeding furiously."

"You guys take Qian Dongjin back to the Divine Alliance, and tell your warriors in the Divine Alliance that I, Lin Bai, will be waiting for them at No Return Cliff at dawn tomorrow."

"Those who aren’t afraid of death - come."

Lin Bai roared angrily.

The group of Divine Alliance Warriors who came with Qian Dongjin were almost scared witless by Lin Bai’s brutal behavior. Hearing Lin Bai’s angry roar, they didn’t say another word, carrying Qian Dongjin and running in disgrace towards the Divine Alliance Headquarters.

Lijian Xing arranged for someone to take Ye Beibei away to rest.

Then Lijian Xing came to Lin Bai’s side and said, "Lin Bai, it’s extremely dangerous tomorrow, I implore you not to go."

"Why?" Lin Bai asked, not understanding.

"Murong Yeshen and Li Daohen are both back. If you go to No Return Cliff, it’s a certain death!" Lijian Xing was deeply afraid for the two.

"Murong Yeshen and Li Daohen...haha...the fact that they returned only makes tomorrow’s fight more exciting. It will not change the final outcome," Lin Bai laughed and shook his head.

"Jianxing, I’ll go back first."

Lin Bai said with a smile.

Lijian Xing said, "Since you’re determined to go tomorrow, I can’t stop you. But I will bring our martial artists from the Sword Alliance to cheer you on!"

"Thank you."

Lin Bai laughed, turned around, and left the Sword Alliance Headquarters.
