Chapter 237: Chapter 236: Dominating the Whole Scene (Fourth Update)

"Who among you claimed that you wished to challenge a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect? Here I am now. If you have the guts, step up and try." Lin Bai curtly spoke, his eyes surveying the more than a hundred martial artists gathered around, watching the spectacle.

"Does he intend to continue the challenge?"

"This guy is pretty brash, isn’t he? It was a fluke that he won against the Fifth Princess, and now he wants to keep fighting?"

"Tsk, overestimating his own capabilities. I thought the Spirit Sword Sect had produced a decent warrior, but it turns out it’s just an imbecile."

A murmur of laughter and mockery resonated among many of the warriors upon hearing Lin Bai’s words.

Out of urgency, Chen Gong blurted out, "Lin Bai, we must recuperate for the upcoming Year-end Tail Sacrifice in the next few days. Don’t start a fight now. Let’s head back and rest."

"No worries, Elder, dealing with these rotten eggs will not drain me much." Lin Bai said, grinning slightly.

Spurt—

Chen Gong nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood upon hearing this.

Doubt filled his eyes as he looked at Lin Bai, his gaze almost conveying, ’Brother, look around you! These are all the elite from the Four Major Sects who have reached the state of Heaven Martial Realm First Layer.’

" Hahaha, the Spirit Sword Sect has been silent in the Year-end Tail Sacrifice for many years now. I didn’t expect their moment of reckoning to be filled with such arrogance! Let me have a try!"

In the crowd, a warrior dressed as a disciple from the Canghai Yuntai Palace, sneered coldly and sprung forward, landing in front of Lin Bai.

"It’s Jiang Junwei!"

"A warrior from Canghai Sky Palace that has reached a Heaven Martial Realm!"

"Jiang Junwei is not a simple adversary. He is rumored to have the potential to be one of the Seven Kings."

"The warrior from Spirit Sword Sect is doomed now."

Lin Bai glanced at the warrior, smiled faintly, and asked, "Any more takers? Does anyone else want to challenge me? If so, step forward together."

"Huh?"

"What does he mean by ’any more takers’?"

"My heavens, how arrogant can this man be?"

"Does he really want to invite more people to challenge him?"

Many were stunned into disbelief.

Jiang Junwei, with a chilly voice, said: "There’s no need for so many challengers. I alone am enough to handle you. Originally, I wanted to torture you nicely at the Year-end Tail Sacrifice, but since you’re in such a hurry to die, I shall grant your wish."

"You, you’re not enough." Lin Bai shook his head.

"How dare you look down at me?" Jiang Junwei retorted in icy tones.

Seeing all that unfold, Chen Gong quickly cried out to the warriors in the audience, "Hahaha, Lin Bai has traveled a long way to arrive in the Imperial Capital and is a bit fatigued. His words don’t count, okay, they don’t."

"Lin Bai is not provoking all of you, he’s not."

Chen Gong forced a laugh while making his futile explanations.

"Hmph, as warriors, we take responsibility for our words. Since you’re so arrogant, I, Difei Yang of the Fire Palace, will come and check your arrogant moves."

"I, Li Xiaoyun, a disciple of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, am here to witness the famed sword skills of the Spirit Sword Sect."

"I, Xu Zhiduo of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, am willing to step up!"

"Haha, since all of you are so keen to torment him, I shall join the fun too. I am Zhang Mo from the Fire Palace, here to learn!"

In the blink of an eye, four or five warriors had stepped onto the battlefield.

Zhang Mo and Yang Difei from the Fire Palace; Jiang Junwei and Li Xiaoyun from the Canghai Yuntai Palace.

The four of them stood before Lin Bai, looking at him with contempt.

Chen Gong saw this scene, his face turning pale. He was anxious, yet he had no idea what to do.

A fair and square challenge between warriors - if Chen Gong were to interfere now, it would be a source of mockery. They would surely say that the Spirit Sword Sect cannot afford to lose.

"Zhang Mo and Difei Yang from Fire Palace are quite well-known within the palace!"

"Absolutely. Despite being at the first layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, Difei Yang has the capability to challenge those at the second layer."

"That’s correct, and the potential of Jiang Junwei and Li Xiaoyun from the Canghai Yuntai Palace isn’t lacking either. They’re both at the peak of the first tier of the Heaven Martial Realm."

"Let’s see how this warrior from Spirit Sword Sect dares to act so arrogantly now!"

The warriors sneered and laughed at Lin Bai upon seeing the four challengers step forward.

Lin Bai gave the four a cursory glance and asked, "Is it just you four? Is there anyone else?"

Is there anyone else?

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, the crowd felt as if they might pop their eyes out in shock. They were thinking, ’You should first handle these four before talking.’

"Is that all?" Lin Bai asked again.

Jiang Junwei sneered, "Hmph, this bastard doesn’t need all of you to handle him. I can single-handedly defeat him."

Li Xiaoyun jeered, "When did Spirit Sword Sect’s disciples dare to act so arrogantly in our presence? In past years, weren’t they the ones who would flee at our sight?"

"Indeed, in previous years, they were like cats trying to avoid seen by us two great Sects’ disciples," Zhang Mo also chuckled with ridicule.

Xu Zhiduo laughed, "Guys, don’t even bother. Let me have a go at him. It’s been a while since I crashed a Spirit Sword Sect disciple. My hands are itching."

After looking around and confirming no one else was stepping forward, Lin Bai addressed the four men saying, "Alright then. You four can come at me together."

"Haha, there’s no need for them. I alone am enough!" Xu Zhiduo laughed boastfully. A surge of red energy exploded from his body, transforming into a blazing meteor, aimed straight at Lin Bai.

Wherever Xu Zhiduo passed, his fiery True Qi scorched the ground into a charred path.

As he neared Lin Bai, his fiery fist punched forward, carrying an energy that seemed capable of destroying all in its path, intending to blast Lin Bai with one punch!

"You aren’t qualified enough to be my adversary!"

Lin Bai, unphased by Xu Zhiduo’s punch coming at him, had the Gold Spirit Vortex and Dantian within his body surging simultaneously, condensing a vast and substantial amount of True Qi into his palm.

He reached out for a grab.

Lin Bai’s single hand gripping Xu Zhiduo’s wrist, with a sudden exertion of force, completely shattered all of the strength within Xu Zhiduo’s punch.

"How is this possible! You, a Ninth Level warrior of the Earth Martial Realm, how could you so effortlessly handle my punch!"

Xu Zhiduo exclaimed in disbelief.

"There’s nothing impossible!"

Lin Bai sneered, held onto Xu Zhiduo’s wrist, gave him a hard toss, knocking Xu Zhiduo over, and then stepped onto Xu Zhiduo’s face.

"Get off me!" Trampled under Lin Bai’s foot, Xu Zhiduo began to struggle furiously.

"Don’t squirm! If you dare make any sudden moves, I’ll crush your skull!" The force on Lin Bai’s foot gradually increased, heavily stepping down and making Xu Zhiduo’s facial bones creak and crack, looking as though they would break at any moment.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stay still, don’t kill me, please don’t kill me." Xu Zhiduo cried in panic, pleading again and again.

Having subdued Xu Zhiduo, Lin Bai raised his head to look at the other three in front of him, stating coldly, "I told you, all of you are not a match for me in one-on-one combat!"

Seeing Xu Zhiduo so easily subdued by Lin Bai, the faces of Zhang Mo, Li Xiaoyun, and Jiang Junwei turned pale with shock.

"Xu Zhiduo was careless; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been subdued so easily."

"Since he wants us to join forces, then let’s unite and suppress him."

"That’s right, a reckless fool, let’s join forces to crush him!"

Li Xiaoyun, Zhang Mo, and Jiang Junwei roared together in fury, picking up speed, and their powerful combat strength, taking the form of a storm, swept open.

Fist radiance, palm imprints, constantly emerged in the air, exerting a massive force that pressed down.

"Die!"

The trio roared in unison, these strong and unparalleled martial techniques, intending to execute Lin Bai on the spot!

"Now you’re showing some skill!" Lin Bai, seeing the three attacking together, chuckled coldly, activating his Qi, a foot kick landed on Xu Zhiduo’s chest, causing serious injury, breaking his ribs, and sending him flying over a hundred meters away, collapsing onto the ground unconscious.

Immediately after, Lin Bai regained his senses and faced the remaining three head-on.

"Qingge Sword!"

Lin Bai growled lowly, his storage bag split open, and out flew the Qingge sword, which Lin Bai caught in his hands.

"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill, Shocking Storm!"

The Qingge sword in his hand, the power of the Sixth Grade Spirit Tool erupted with a bang.

A strike of the sword swept out, the Sword Qi turned into a gust of wild wind, sweeping across the mountains and the earth, and its destructive force impacted the chests of the trio.

Squelch--

Ahh--

With Lin Bai’s sword strike landing on the trio, they let out shrill cries of pain, their bodies flying backward in an instant, landing hundreds of meters away. On their chests, they were left with a horrifying sword mark.

"Ah, it hurts so much!"

"How dare you injure me! I am a warrior of the Canghai Yuntai Palace!"

"You’re dead, our Sect senior brother, Yi Han, won’t let you go!"

"My Senior Brother Wanxia will avenge me!"

Jiang Junwei, Li Xiaoyun, and Zhang Mo, lying on the ground, were screaming like slaughtered pigs.

"Still up for more?" Lin Bai held the sword, took two steps forward and asked coldly.

Jiang Junwei, Li Xiaoyun, and Zhang Mo lying on the ground, seeing the cold face of Lin Bai, they became terrified, shaking their heads repeatedly, "We give up, we’re done battling."

"Hmph."

Hearing their surrender, Lin Bai sheathed his sword, turned around, and walked towards Chen Gong.

Chen Gong looked on with excitement as Lin Bai came over.

Today, Lin Bai had demonstrated his impressive prowess, defeating several warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace, greatly enhancing the reputation of the Spirit Sword Sect.

This made Chen Gong, as an elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, feel incredibly proud.

"Dammit, they dared to hurt us!"

Just as Lin Bai was about to leave.

Li Xiaoyun, Zhang Mo, and Jiang Junwei, lying on the ground, glanced at each other, revealing a vicious look in their eyes.

They seized the opportunity when Lin Bai sheathed his sword and let down his guard. Suddenly, they leaped up from the ground, charging towards Lin Bai, launching their three techniques and striking Lin Bai’s back.

"Watch out, Lin Bai!"

Zhang Lingdao and Lu Yuan both shouted out in unison.

Woosh--

Feeling a chill crawling up his spine, Lin Bai quickly turned his head.

Seeing the three people with ferocious smiles charging towards him.

"Ha-ha-ha, you ignorant kid, how could you be so foolish as to not kill us! Now, you’re going to die."

"You’ll be the first warrior from the Spirit Sword Sect to be crippled this year! Don’t worry, your two fellow apprentices will be joining you soon."

"Hahaha, prepare to die."

Jiang Junwei, Li Xiaoyun, and Zhang Mo all burst into maniacal laughter.

All three of their techniques carried an endless murderous intent, aiming straight for Lin Bai.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai exclaimed in alarm.
