Chapter 263: Chapter 262: We’ll Wait for Him Here, He’ll Come (Fifth Update)

With a flick of Luo Qixing’s dagger, a dim glow emerged, unintentionally encircling Xu Jiangsheng.

The gray thread was as sharp as a razor ring, with any push from Luo Qixing, he could instantly slice Xu Jiangsheng in half right at the waist.

But at that moment, Luo Qixing surprisingly heard Xu Jiangsheng recognize his technique.

"Impossible! No one can recognize this technique. Who are you really? Could it be that you’re also an assassin from the Edgeless Sect?" Luo Qixing asked incredulously.

Xu Jiangsheng smirked, "Why can’t I recognize this technique?"

"Hmm, because all those who have seen this technique, apart from the assassins from the Edgeless Sect, are dead," Luo Qixing replied coldly.

Ming Snake’s Embrace, a secret assassination technique of the Edgeless Sect.

Assassination techniques can kill silently, but if deployed skillfully, Luo Qixing could assassinate a warrior several ranks higher when the opponent least expects it.

That’s why the Edgeless Sect’s assassins instill such fear in people.

Many times, just when you think you’ve subdued an assassin from the Edgeless Sect, the truth is they’re already preparing to kill you.

With a flourish of Luo Qixing’s dagger, a gray ribbon enclosed Xu Jiangsheng within Ming Snake’s Embrace.

Why did Xu Jiangsheng recognize this technique?

Because three years ago, he and his father narrowly escaped death because of this technique!

Recognizing the Ming Snake’s Embrace assassination technique, Xu Jiangsheng was already prepared. As the technique tightened, he leaped up and avoided this dangerous attack. Then with a jumping punch, he struck Luo Qixing in the chest with a force resembling a mountain-moving impact.

Thump —

Luo Qixing spat out blood due to Xu Jiangsheng’s punch, his chest shattered, his internal organs dislodged, almost resulting in a ruptured heart on the spot.

"You dodged it, you dodged it, impossible! No one can dodge the Ming Snake’s Embrace!" Luo Qixing unbelievingly stared at Xu Jiangsheng.

"As they say, no man trips over the same stone twice," Xu Jiangsheng tersely replied.

"Who on earth are you? You mentioned the assassination of the Xu family leader three years ago, you recognized the Ming Snake’s Embrace, who the hell are you?" Luo Qixing roared furiously.

"Like I said, Yama will tell you once you’re in hell."

Xu Jiangsheng approached Luo Qixing with several leaps, appearing almost as if he teleported.

"Hahaha, so you want to kill me! Since you’re so knowledgeable about the Edgeless Sect, you should know that their assassins not only excel in assassination and concealment techniques but also adept at light-dodging techniques, right?"

Luo Qixing burst into wild laughter.

"Damn!" Xu Jiangsheng froze, his complexion turning grim.

"Blood Escape Technique!"

A cloud of blood mist exploded from Luo Qixing’s body, hovering in mid-air.

Xu Jiangsheng’s palm strike landed squarely on the blood mist and dissipated it.

When the blood mist dissipated, Xu Jiangsheng looked up to find a trail of blood light had already rushed a few kilometers away. By the time he thought of giving chase, it was already too late.

"Damn it! I let you escape again!"

Xu Jiangsheng silently cursed.

Three years ago, after Luo Qixing failed in his assassination attempt, he used the Blood Escape Technique to flee.

This escape technique required exploding two-thirds of the user’s blood and all of his True Qi, creating a speed several times faster than equals. No one below the Divine Elixir Realm could catch up.

"Humph, you won’t be so lucky next time."

Knowing he couldn’t catch Luo Qixing, Xu Jiangsheng gave up the chase.

Instead, he turned back to look at Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao.

Feeling the cold stare from beneath the golden mask, both Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao tensed up. With their serious injuries and Xu Jiangsheng’s overwhelming combat strength, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

"Where is Lin Bai?"

Xu Jiangsheng coldly asked.

"I don’t know." Lu Yuan shook his head.

Lu Yuan truly didn’t know Lin Bai’s whereabouts, but even if he did, he wouldn’t tell Xu Jiangsheng.

"That’s okay, he’ll come. Let’s wait for him here."

Xu Jiangsheng dragged Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao into the cave mansion to wait.

"In Qitian Mountain Range, all the signs from Spirit Sword Sect point here."

"Lin Bai will definitely come."

Xu Jiangsheng quietly stood inside the cave mansion, gazing at the distant forest.

As expected.

Xu Jiangsheng wasn’t disappointed.

A moment later, a white-robed man slowly stepped out of the forest and appeared in front of the cave mansion.

Lin Bai looked up at the cave mansion hidden by the dense forest, took a deep breath and said, "All the signs from the Spirit Sword Sect point here, but beyond this, there are no signs."

"So, Brother Lu Yuan and Junior Brother Zhang Lingdao are both here?"

Lin Bai slowly approached the mountain cave.

"Lin Bai, be careful!"

At that moment, suddenly a cry of surprise came from Lu Yuan inside the cave.

Whoosh!

A huge palm print made of flames, shattered all the blockages in the mouth of the cave at the moment Lu Yuan’s voice sounded and struck heavily towards Lin Bai’s chest.

Thud!

Caught off guard, Lin Bai was knocked back more than a hundred meters by this palm. After crashing through five or six trees, he stood up from the ground, his eyes cold.

"Who?"

Lin Bai roared coldly.

A man with a golden mask walked out of the cave.

"Who are you? Why did you attack me?" Lin Bai stared coldly at Xu Jiangsheng.

Xu Jiangsheng stood opposite Lin Bai, silent.

It had been more than two months.

It had been more than two months since Xu Jiangsheng’s rebirth.

During these two months, Xu Jiangsheng was constantly thinking about Lin Bai.

He was thinking about how he would torment Lin Bai when they met again.

He was thinking about how he’d make Lin Bai suffer in the flames when they meet again.

He was dreaming of the day he would kill Lin Bai with his own hands.

It was Lin Bai who had killed him.

Yet it was also Lin Bai who endowed him with a higher martial soul talent.

Perhaps this talent had been given to him expressly for the purpose of killing Lin Bai, as revenge.

Lin Bai saw Xu Jiangsheng, silent, and immediately looked into the cave. Seeing the severed arm of Lu Yuan, he was startled.

An angry expression appeared on Lin Bai’s face: "Did you cut off Brother Lu Yuan’s arm?"

Xu Jiangsheng remained silent, staring at Lin Bai.

After a long time!

"Flames!"

Xu Jiangsheng uttered softly.

Boom!

Suddenly, a blaze of fiery red flames ignited from Xu Jiangsheng’s body, transforming him into a being of fire.

Heave!

Xu Jiangsheng shouted and launched toward the vast earth like a flaming meteor, irresistible yet also possessing an indestructible, world-destroying power!

With a punch!

Flames burning in the void, incinerating the sky.

Lin Bai’s face changed dramatically. The Qingge sword immediately shot out, and a cold, merciless sword intention enveloped all around. A wave of sword Qi struck back, slashing on his punch.

"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill!"

"Wind Rise!"

"Wind Silence!"

"Wind Calamity!"

"The wind blows and the sea blows!"

"Shocking Storm!"

"Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

One after another, terrifyingly powerful sword skills were released from Lin Bai’s hands.

The power of the Qingge Sword, a Sixth Grade Spirit Tool, was fully displayed.

Sword skills shook the heavens, sword intention agitated the sky, intimidating all under heaven, destroying everything.

In an instant, within a radius of a kilometer, everything was leveled by Lin Bai’s sword Qi!
