Chapter 238 - 237: Just a Waning Shadow? (Fifth Update)

Chapter 238: Chapter 237: Just a Waning Shadow? (Fifth Update)

Lin Bai would never have thought that the warriors who were cultivated by the prestigious Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace, two great sects, would resort to such a nauseating act of attacking after submitting!

"Feng Lei Divine Wings!"

Lin Bai quickly executed his skill, and the wind and lightning seemed to form a pair of faint wings behind him.

Whoosh——

As soon as the Feng Lei Divine Wings formed, Lin Bai’s speed increased drastically.

Boom——

The three opponents launched three heavy attacks, aiming to slay Lin Bai right where he stood.

"Lin Bai!"

Chen Gong, Lu Yuan, and Zhang Lingdao all shouted in surprise.

With their own eyes, they saw Lin Bai’s body being completely consumed by the three powerful attacks.

"Hahaha, fighting us, he didn’t even know he was courting death!"

Li Xiaoyun landed, and seeing Lin Bai’s body completely destroyed, he immediately started laughing coldly.

Both Jiang Junwei and Zhang Mo had smug expressions on their faces.

Lu Yuan’s expression turned cold, the pressure of his sword targeted the three people. He coldly said, "All three of you, coming from notable sects, resorting to such despicable means to kill a disciple of my Spirit Sword Sect, after submission, you guys owe me an explanation for this."

Jiang Junwei sneered, "Explanation? Hehe, aren’t your Spirit Sword Sect’s warriors coming to the Year-end Tail Sacrifice just for us to kill? Anyway, whether they die early or late, It’s all the same."

"Is that so?" Lu Yuan’s expression further darkened, and he advanced a few steps while clasping his sword.

A chilling sword aura filled the space between heaven and earth.

Jiang Junwei, Zhang Mo, and Li Xiaoyun felt Lu Yuan’s strength. Their expressions changed as they said apprehensively, "I’m warning you, if you dare to attack us, our Sect Senior Brothers won’t let you off!"

"You probably don’t understand how powerful our Senior Brother Yi Han is. He is one of the Seven Kings. Killing you would be as simple as crushing an ant!"

Li Xiaoyun anxiously looked at Lu Yuan while speaking.

Lu Yuan, with his cultivation of the Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer, a master ranked in the top 10 of the Spirit Sword Sect Inner Sect Top 100 Ranking List, excelling in sword skills, high in cultivation, naturally needed no further explanation.

"Then let him come find me." Lu Yuan replied coldly.

Lu Yuan raised his treasure sword, about to make his move.

"Cough, cough——"

Just at that moment, a gentle coughing sound rang out.

"Senior Brother Lu, allow me."

The voice after the cough was familiar to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan traced the source of the sound.

He saw Lin Bai walking out from the crowd with a hint of a cold smile.

"Lin Bai..."

"Wasn’t he killed by Zhang Mo and the others in their sneak attack?"

"Exactly, I clearly saw his body turn into nothing!"

"What’s going on?"

"When did he get behind us?"

Many warriors watched Lin Bai in disbelief.

Zhang Mo shouted in disbelief like he had seen a ghost: "No, impossible, we clearly wiped you out together!"

"What’s going on? Are you a ghost?" Jiang Junwei also shouted in surprise.

Lu Yuan and Chen Gong relaxed when they saw Lin Bai unharmed.

"I get it."

"It’s Lin Bai’s movement technique!"

"His technique was so fast that it left an afterimage."

"What Zhang Mo and the others attacked was just the fading afterimage that Lin Bai left in his original position."

One of the warriors exclaimed in surprise after pondering for a long time.

"My god, was that an afterimage?"

"To be able to leave an undispersed afterimage, how terrifying must his movement technique be!"

The crowd was astonished as they stared at Lin Bai.

Lu Yuan asked: "Lin Bai, are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Lin Bai’s expression turned cold as he looked at Zhang Mo and the others.

"Now, you can run." Lin Bai said in a cold voice.

Jiang Junwei sneered, "I can’t believe you’re still alive, I underestimated you. Since that’s the case, let’s fight in the Imperial Hunting Garden. I don’t believe you have the guts to kill me here."

Smirk--

Just as Jiang Junwei finished speaking, Lin Bai laughed coldly with a frosty face. He took a step that covered a hundred meters and with one stroke of his sword, he beheaded Jiang Junwei.

Blood spurted out from Jiang Junwei’s neck like a fountain, reaching three meters high.

Jiang Junwei’s severed head landed ten meters away, the expression of smug satisfaction still on his face.

Fast!

Way too fast!

Lin Bai’s movement combined with his sixth-grade spirit tool was like that of a killing god. He killed Jiang Junwei in an instant completely catching him off guard.

"Damn it..."

"This is too fast, I can’t even follow with my eyes."

"What kind of movement skill is this? It’s more like teleportation!"

By the time many warriors came to their senses, Jiang Junwei was already dead at the hands of Lin Bai.

Zhang Mo and Li Xiaoyun were shocked to see this. "You, you, dare to kill a warrior of Canghai Yuntai Palace, huh? Senior Brother Yi Han of our sect will not spare you!"

Upon seeing Lin Bai conversing with Li Xiaoyun, Zhang Mo clenched his teeth and ran away angrily.

Lin Bai turned around, looked at Li Xiaoyun, and laughed coldly. His figure vanished like a ghost, and when he reappeared, he was already three inches in front of Li Xiaoyun.

Li Xiaoyun looked at Lin Bai in surprise. He then lowered his head to find that Lin Bai’s Qingge sword had pierced through his heart.

"You dare to kill me... Aren’t you afraid... of my sect’s revenge?" Li Xiaoyun looked at Lin Bai with fear, his eyes filled with regret.

"I told you, you could start running."

Laughing coldly, Lin Bai withdrew his sword and looked at the fleeing Zhang Mo.

"Lin Bai, dare to offend me, I will ask Senior Brother Wanxia when I get back, and you better wait for your death."

Zhang Mo vowed vengefully in his heart.

"Die!"

At that moment, a cold voice echoed in Zhang Mo’s ear.

Zhang Mo turned his head to see Lin Bai’s icy sword about to descend.

"No, no, Lin Bai, don’t kill me, don’t kill me..." Zhang Mo begged for mercy in a hurry.

"I gave you an opportunity, but it’s a pity you chose to walk the path of death!" Lin Bai said coldly, and with one stroke of his sword, he chopped Zhang Mo in half at the waist.

Blood was strewn across the field.

By the time people came to their senses, three of the four talents from the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace had been killed.

"Who else wants to challenge me?"

Lin Bai held his sword, looked around and shouted coldly.

At that moment, everyone shrank back, their eyes filled with fear as they looked at Lin Bai.

Xu Changfeng casually addressed Chen Gong, "I thought your Spirit Sword Sect wasn’t prepared. Turns out you’re playing the fool to catch the wise."

"Eh... Hahaha..." Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then broke out in hearty laughter.

Chen Gong thought to himself: I knew Lin Bai was strong, but I didn’t expect that he could kill warriors of the first layer of Heaven Martial Realm as simply as if he were slaughtering pigs and dogs!

In Chen Gong’s mind, Murong Yeshen had the qualifications to challenge those in the first layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, but Murong Yeshen did not have the power to kill them.

Lin Bai, on the other hand, did.

A warrior at the ninth level of the Earth Martial Realm, killing a warrior at the first layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, was as easy as cutting potatoes!

Xu Changfeng said: "Today, your Spirit Sword Sect disciples opened a massacre here, killing only warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace. I suppose that these two sects are going to unite and wipe your sect out at the Year-end Tail Sacrifice in a few days."

Thinking about this, Chen Gong laughed coldly, "Don’t they try to wipe us out every year?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Changfeng gave a wry smile.

"Let’s go, lead us to our quarters." Chen Gong said.

"Lin Bai, let’s go." Chen Gong called out.

Lin Bai sheathed his sword, gave the crowd a dismissive glance, and walked out of the square.

When the crowd saw Lin Bai’s retreating figure, they looked at each other with fear in their eyes and said:

"This is bad. The Spirit Sword Sect might demonstrate their power this year."

"To be honest, this feels more like the Spirit Sword Sect of old."

"The Spirit Sword Sect back in the day... just thinking about it frightens me."

In less than half a day, the news of Lin Bai killing Zhang Mo and others had spread throughout the Imperial Capital.

The rumor of the rising Spirit Sword Sect spread among all the warriors in the Imperial Capital.
