Chapter 253: Chapter 252: Qi Family Army (5th Update)

Yi Han pursued, seeing Lin Bai collapsed on the ground, he said icily, "Run, let’s see how you’re going to run now!"

"You’re done for."

Yi Han grimaced, Lin Bai had led him on a wild goose chase in the Qitian Mountain Range which left him already in a fit of rage. He threw a punch decisively, aiming directly at Lin Bai’s face.

He used the Sea Layered Wave Fist again, a flood of power that seemed about to scream up to the heavens and down to the earth.

"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill, Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

Lin Bai in a hurry, executed his most powerful backhanded strike.

Striking against Yi Han’s fist, both stepped back a little, but no one was seriously injured.

"Smart boy, you finally can’t run anymore, can you?"

"Damn, I’ve finally caught up."

"Kill him, he’s pissed me off!"

"Wasted so much time, I won’t rest until I’ve torn him into pieces."

In that moment, the other warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace, who had been chasing up, saw Lin Bai already struggling with Yi Han. They sprung forward without any second thoughts, to aid Yi Han.

"Sky Ghost Fist!"

"Mysterious Ice Palm!"

"Heavenly Water Divine Whip!"

"..."

Each move was an extraordinary martial skill, aimed to kill Lin Bai.

Hundreds of warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace surrounded Lin Bai who was caught between them. He was momentarily entrapped.

"Damn it!"

Lin Bai struggled vigorously but was nonetheless hit by a few martial arts moves.

Pfft!

Lin Bai spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Two fists hard to beat four hands indeed.

All the warriors from the CangHai Yuntai Palace had reached the Heaven Martial Realm First Layer cultivation.

It was a miracle that Lin Bai, a warrior at the Ninth Level of Earth Martial Realm, could hold up so long against them.

Rumble—

With a huge sound, hundreds of martial arts moves fell upon him, shattering Lin Bai along with the ground.

The ground cracked and suddenly collapsed downwards.

The severely injured Lin Bai fell into the fracture along with the rubble.

"Pfft!"

Lin Bai spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. He quickly looked up and found himself in total darkness. He exclaimed, "What place is this?"

He fumbled in his storage bag. Taking out a candle, Lin Bai lit up the surrounding darkness, only to find that he was in a corridor.

He looked up and saw Yi Han standing at the edge of the crater, giving him an icy stare.

"Wait till I have assimilated the Spirit Pearl, I will definitely come back to kill you."

Upon seeing Yi Han, Lin Bai grimaced and growled. He flickered and disappeared into the dark passageway.

"Still not dead?"

"Our combined effort could have killed a warrior at the Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer, but Lin Bai survived, merely with severe injuries."

"Lin Bai’s physique is too strong."

"Let’s chase."

Yi Han coldly commanded and then jumped into the corridor to chase after Lin Bai’s disappearing figure.

The dark passage ahead was long and winding, leading to who knows where.

But Lin Bai didn’t have time to ponder, if he didn’t escape in time, he would be killed instantly by the over a hundred warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace.

The tunnel was complex and intricate.

There were more than ten branching entrances ahead.

Lin Bai randomly chose one and burst in.

"The tunnel here seems to be man-made, and it appears that warriors have been active here recently."

"Who the hell dug this place out?"

Lin Bai flew for a while inside the corridor and realized Yi Han had been shaken off.

That made Lin Bai slightly relieved.

"Yi Han ruthlessly pursues and relentlessly attacks, wasting half a day of my time."

"I didn’t expect the Sea Overlapping Waves Palace to come knocking as soon as I entered the Qitian Mountain Range,"

Lin Bai muttered lowly as he walked through the corridor.

According to Lin Bai’s speculation, Yi Han and the other warriors from the Sea Overlapping Waves Palace were supposed to go hunt demon beasts first, to accumulate enough points before they lay their hands on the Spirit Sword Sect.

That way, Lin Bai would have had sufficient time to either hunt demon beasts or refine spirit pearls, in order to increase his cultivation.

By then, Lin Bai would have no fear of Yi Han.

But unexpectedly, Yi Han bypassed hunting demon beasts, and directly started messing with the Spirit Sword Sect.

Actually, what was on Yi Han’s mind?

Yi Han thought, with only three people from the Spirit Sword Sect and hundreds of warriors from the Sea Overlapping Waves Palace and the Fire Palace, it would take just a few seconds to handle the matter if they all attacked at once.

He never imagined that Lin Bai would be so troublesome, leading them on a wild goose chase within the Qitian Mountain Range for half a day.

Just wasting daylight.

"No way, I must hurry up and refine the spirit pearls."

"Boost my cultivation and then hurry up to hunt demon beasts."

"Otherwise, by dusk, I fear I won’t gain enough points."

"If I do not accumulate enough points and can’t exchange them for Beacon Fire and City Flowers, then my trip to the Imperial Capital would be in vain."

Not wanting to go forward anymore, Lin Bai found a dark, lightless corridor, sat cross-legged and took out the spirit pearl from his storage bag.

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai directly took out five Spirit Pearls.

Summoning the Devouring Sword Spirit, a tremendous power of devouring spread to the Spirit Pearls, instantly broke them down into pure spiritual energy, which was absorbed by the Devouring Sword Spirit.

"Such pure spiritual energy."

"The spiritual energy inside this spirit pearl is at least five times as pure as the spiritual energy outside."

Lin Bai’s Devouring Sword Spirit slowly refined the spiritual energy within the spirit pearl into Lin Bai’s body without leaving a trace.

After an hour,

The spirit pearl was completely refined.

A surge of boundless domineering force emerged from Lin Bai’s dantian and his Gold Spirit Vortex.

"Heavenly Martial Realm First Layer!"

In the dark, Lin Bai opened his eyes, surprised and thrilled.

Even though this corridor was pitch black without a trace of light,

The sharp gaze in Lin Bai’s eyes was still shining.

"Now, I have the confidence to fight with Yi Han."

"Even, to kill him!"

Lin Bai, assertive, rose to his feet, "I wonder if Yi Han is still in these corridors? If I happen to run into him, hehe, it’ll be unclear who will be the one to die."

"But speaking of which, who dug these corridors?"

Lin Bai stepped out of the corridor, cautiously moving forward.

The corridors were too intricate.

They made Lin Bai dizzy.

After a long time, Lin Bai saw a faint light at the end of the corridor.

"There’s light, so there must be an exit."

Lin Bai swiftly ran towards the light.

But when Lin Bai reached the end, he found a group of evenly arranged armored soldiers standing at this exit.

Hiding in the darkness, Lin Bai watched these soldiers attentively.

"These are from the Qi Family Army of Shenwu Kingdom."

"The Qi Family Army is the trump card army in the hand of the Qi Wangfu, only loyal to the Qi Wangfu, and only listens to the military commands of the Qi Wangfu."

"Bai Xiaoxiao once said that the Qi Wangfu has incorporated the troops of several other prince’s mansions, and now the Qi Family Army has as many as one million troops, which is a terrifying wolf army!"

"But why would the private army of Qi Wangfu appear here?"

Lin Bai was very curious in the dark.
