Chapter 201: Chapter 201: The Arrogant Murong Yeshen

"Don’t you want to know who I am? I am Murong Yeshen!"

Murong Yeshen said with a confident smile.

Lin Bai was startled and solemnly looked at the handsome man, thinking to himself: He is Murong Yeshen! Known as the undefeated legend of the Inner Gate, ever since joining the Spirit Sword Sect, he had defeated all opponents in one move?

"What’s up? Any instructions?" Lin Bai said with mild indifference.

Murong Yeshen was taken aback, looking surprisingly at Lin Bai.

Previously, warriors who heard his name would be utterly terrified, wishing they could kneel down and pay their respects to him.

Yet, after hearing his name, Lin Bai was surprisingly calm, with almost no sign of reverence.

This displeased Murong Yeshen.

"Lin Bai, don’t you know the rules of the Spirit Sword Sect? When you see your Senior Brother, you should pay respects!" Murong Yeshen spoke in a chilling tone, his sharp eyes emitting a cold murderous intent as he stared at Lin Bai.

"The rules of the Spirit Sword Sect state that the more accomplished should be respected first. If my cultivation has already surpassed yours, naturally, I don’t need to pay respects. Step aside." Having said this coldly, Lin Bai was going to walk away from Murong Yeshen.

"If you want to take a fight with me, come to No Return Cliff tomorrow."

Lin Bai said coldly.

"Ha! Lin Bai, you are not even qualified to fight me. You couldn’t even defeat Junior Sister Ye Suxin, and you dare to challenge me?"

"Not bragging, but with one finger, I could crush you to death."

Murong Yeshen said with a self-satisfied smile.

"Whether I can defeat Ye Suxin is one thing, and whether I can defeat you is another matter. These are two different things, don’t mix them. " Lin Bai said coldly.

"One more thing, step aside!"

Lin Bai stared at the arrogant look in Murong Yeshen’s eyes, saying coldly.

"You dare to talk to me like that, looking for death!" Finally, Murong Yeshen couldn’t stand it any longer, releasing an explosive rage, and a surge of brutal power hit Lin Bai.

Murong Yeshen punched towards Lin Bai’s chest.

This punch, heavy and forceful, was as if it contained the strength of a thousand tun, which was enough to shatter mountains.

Before his punch even landed on Lin Bai, the air was already compressed and exploded, and an impact rushed towards Lin Bai’s chest!

Lin Bai’s eyes widened!

Zing——

A clear sword alliance echoed in the ear, and the Sinister Wind Sword suddenly broke through.

With a cold flash of light, a burst of sword qi swept down, striking fiercely at Murong Yeshen’s punch.

When Lin Bai drew his sword to meet the attack, the sword wound on his chest opened, and blood gushed out again, flowing out like a small river.

Boom——

The two clashed in one move, and Lin Bai was directly thrown more than ten meters away, spitting blood.

But Murong Yeshen, stood there, as firm as Mount Tai, without moving a single step.

"Cough, cough——" Lin Bai coughed violently, his heart was already damaged, and at the moment, he collided with Murong Yeshen, causing his heart to crack more.

His injuries worsened, causing Lin Bai to wobble slightly.

"Look at the state of you now, you can’t even hold your sword steady, how are you going to fight me?" Murong Yeshen sneered.

"Humph!"

With a cruel smile, Murong Yeshen kicked, sending Lin Bai flying over a hundred meters away, sliding across the ground for another ten plus meters, leaving a trail of blood.

Looking at Lin Bai lying on the ground like a dead dog, Murong Yeshen smirked disdainfully:

"I’ve heard about you. Do you know what leaves the deepest impression?"

"It’s not your achievements as the top Outer Sect Disciple, but your Martial Soul."

"Your Martial Soul turned out to be of the Yellow Rank First Grade, ridiculously laughable. When did the Spirit Sword Sect fall to such a level? They’re even accepting a waste with a Yellow Rank First Class Martial Spirit into the sect?"

Murong Yeshen stared at Lin Bai, his face full of mockery and disdain.

His smile was full of sympathy, pity, disdain, confusion, and contempt.

That look in his eyes exactly replicated Lin Zi’er.

"Murong Yeshen, I swear, I will kill you, I swear, I will tear you to pieces!"

Lin Bai, wielding the sword, stood up from the ground. His eyes were cold and ruthless, staring at Lin Bai, his face full of fury.

If it weren’t for Lin Bai being severely wounded by Ye Suxin beforehand, Murong Yeshen could not have defeated Lin Bai that easily!

When Lin Bai clashed with Murong Yeshen, he was already heavily injured and utterly exhausted. How could he possibly be Murong Yeshen’s match?

If Lin Bai was at his peak, killing Murong Yeshen would have been as easy as killing a dog!

"I fear you won’t have the chance to fight me one-on-one, because today will be your death day!" Murong Yeshen, a brilliant smile on his face, suddenly turned into a shadowy blur, charging directly towards Lin Bai.

With this punch coming down, Murong Yeshen planned to kill Lin Bai!

A terrifying power was gathering from all directions beneath the ground, aiming directly for Lin Bai’s chest.

This fist, like a divine nail, possessed enough force to shatter the sky and earth. Once it made contact with Lin Bai’s body, it would surely rip him apart.

"Stop! Murong Yeshen, you dare!"

Just then, a robust voice rang out from afar.

A silhouette sped along the mountain path, in an instant appearing behind Lin Bai and throwing a punch, meeting Murong Yeshen’s punch head on.

Murong Yeshen was directly sent flying by this punch, rolling to a stop a hundred meters away.

"Who?"

Murong Yeshen was furious!

Since he joined the Spirit Sword Sect, no one had ever managed to make him retreat three steps.

Yet now, this punch had sent him flying a hundred meters away.

This was a stain on his life!

Furious, Murong Yeshen looked up to see a man dressed as an elder, holding Lin Bai and looking back at him with cold eyes.

"Elder Ji Bei!" Murong Yeshen sneered.

The person who had arrived was indeed Ji Bei.

Initially, Ji Bei had heard that there was some commotion at the Sword Alliance and had gone there to check it out.

On his way, he happened to see Lin Bai and Murong Yeshen fighting and immediately stepped in to rescue Lin Bai.

"Elder Ji Bei..." Seeing Ji Bei arrive brought Lin Bai great joy, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Bai, are you okay?" As Ji Bei held up Lin Bai, he infused a gentle stream of True Qi into Lin Bai’s body, helping him recover from his injuries.

Murong Yeshen sneered, "Elder Ji Bei, it seems like you would really dare oppose the Divine Alliance, just for a Yellow Level First Grade trash like him. What a shame! You probably chose the wrong side!"

"Murong Yeshen, this place is within the boundaries of the Spirit Sword Sect. You dare to kill a disciple of the Sect in defiance of the Sect’s rules! Just this alone is enough for me to severely punish you!" Ji Bei said, his face full of gloom.

"How could I dare to ignore the Sect rules? I was only having a friendly exchange with Junior Brother Lin Bai. Isn’t that right, Junior Brother Lin Bai?" Murong Yeshen said, looking at Lin Bai with a harmless smile.

Ji Bei said to Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, all you have to do is tell the truth, and I can at least confine Murong Yeshen for three months."

"Don’t be afraid, I’ll back you up! Speak up about the unfair treatment you suffered." Ji Bei reassured Lin Bai with resolve.

Lin Bai looked at Murong Yeshen, his eyes dark.

Murong Yeshen’s smile stiffened for a moment. If he were really confined, it would undoubtedly be another stain on his reputation.

It led to Murong Yeshen threateningly looking at Lin Bai while maintaining his smiling facade.

Lin Bai just smiled faintly and said, "Elder Ji Bei, we were merely having a friendly exchange."

"What! Lin Bai, what do you think you are doing? All you have to do is admit it, Murong Yeshen wanted to kill you, and I can put him in his place!" Ji Bei said, exasperated.

Murong Yeshen said, "You see, Elder Ji Bei, I told you, we were just having a friendly exchange. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Yes, a friendly exchange. Senior Brother Murong, you’re going back to the No Return Cliff tomorrow, right?" Lin Bai asked, a smile on his face.

"Tomorrow is the end of the three months that Junior Brother Lin Bai had set. He is to accept the challenge of all Earth Martial Stage Warriors at No Return Cliff. Coincidentally, I am at the Earth Martial Stage as well and was thinking of having more exchanges with him." Murong Yeshen replied, a faint smile on his face.

"Alright then, Senior Brother, see you tomorrow." Lin Bai said while laughing.

"See you tomorrow then. Hahaha..." Murong Yeshen laughed heartily, elated.

Murong Yeshen thought to himself: See you tomorrow? Tomorrow will be your death day!

Although the two were talking with smiles, Ji Bei could still sense the palpable tension between them.

Especially Lin Bai, the icy intent to kill radiating from him made Ji Bei shiver.

"Lin Bai, what are you doing? I could just find an excuse to lock up Murong Yeshen, you would have one less opponent tomorrow!" Ji Bei said, somewhat frustrated.

"Elder Ji Bei, if you lock him up, how would I kill him tomorrow?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Ji Bei paused after hearing this. Looking at Lin Bai’s injuries, he asked, "You fought Murong Yeshen today and got hurt. Do you think you could possess enough strength to defeat him overnight?"

"The injuries on my body... were not inflicted by Murong Yeshen..." Upon hearing Ji Bei speak of his injuries, Lin Bai’s face turned somber, and he said softly.

If it weren’t for Lin Bai not fighting back, allowing Ye Suxin to severely injure him first, how could Murong Yeshen have defeated Lin Bai this easily?

At Lin Bai’s peak, who would live and who would die remained to be seen!
