Chapter 267: Chapter 266: The Ultimate Glory of a Warrior Is to Die at the Hands of the Strong (Fourth Update)

With a slash of rage, a Heaven-reaching Sword Qi, approximately a hundred meters long, charged down incessantly.

With a range of a thousand meters, it relentlessly collided with the divine light, sweeping across with undeniable force.

A splattering sound!

A violent collision was triggered between the two sides. At the very moment they clashed, a burst of Sword Qi struck Yi Han’s abdomen, sending him flying backwards a hundred meters and coughing up fresh blood.

"Senior Brother Yi Han!"

"Senior Brother Yi Han was actually defeated!"

"The power of Lin Bai’s final sword could actually match the martial skills of our Canghai Yuntai Palace’s Earth Grade 9!"

Many warriors could hardly believe what they had just witnessed.

"How could I lose, how could I possibly lose? I am an outstanding disciple of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, one of the Seven Kings of the Inner Palace. How could I lose to this waste of Spirit Sword Sect!" Yi Han crawled up from the ground, howling with a savage expression on his face.

"Senior Brother Yi Han, what do we do now?" Li Luobei asked.

Yi Han coldly shouted, "All of you attack together, slaughter him!"

"Brothers, kill him."

Li Luobei and Yi Han shouted in unison.

"Hehe, so it’s the waste of the Spirit Sword Sect."

"I originally thought you had been killed by Senior Brother Yi Han, didn’t expect you to still be alive. Since you dare to appear before me, I’ll painlessly send you to your death."

"The waste of Spirit Sword Sect, prepare to die."

A group of warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace lunged forward, attacking Lin Bai with their fists, hands, slashing knives, and Sword Shadows.

"Sword Intention!"

The Sword Intention directly shrouded downward, enclosing these more than thirty people within.

"Divine Power, Gentle Sword."

Lin Bai’s eyes hardened, a shade of ruthlessness flickered by.

An extremely powerful Divine Power rose from Lin Bai’s hand, like a gentle breeze, it swept across the necks of the more than thirty warriors before him.

AAHHHH——

A series of screams rang out.

"Now, a warrior at the Heaven Martial Realm First Layer is not worth my time."

Lin Bai swept his gaze over the warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace surrounding him. Among the more than thirty people, most of them were at the Heaven Martial Realm First Layer, three or four were at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer, and only Yi Han and Li Luobei were at the Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer.

With his Divine Power, the Gentle Sword, Lin Bai decimated all of the warriors at the Heaven Martial Realm First Layer.

A large number of warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace followed Yi Han into the dungeon, where they all ended up dying.

The few people that Li Luobei had taken with him were the last warriors of the Canghai Yuntai Palace to enter the Imperial Hunting Garden.

The glittering sword light splashed amidst a spray of fresh blood.

More than twenty people fell under Lin Bai’s sword, leaving Yi Han and Li Luobei stunned and speechless.

"You have broken through to the Heaven Martial Realm First Layer!" Yi Han exclaimed.

"Impossible, even if you have broken through to the Heaven Martial Realm First Layer, how can your strength be this massive!" Li Luobei exclaimed.

"Hmph." Lin Bai snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with murder. His sharp sword began to dance swiftly, slashing the remaining three or four warriors at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer on the ground.

Having gotten rid of these nuisances,

Lin Bai raised his sword towards Yi Han and coldly said, "Yi Han, come forth and meet your demise!"

Yi Han’s eyes changed, he muttered to himself: I am seriously injured and have not yet healed. I cannot confront Lin Bai head-on. Once I recover from my injuries, killing you will be as easy as slaughtering a dog!

"Junior Brother Li Luobei, let’s go together." Yi Han yelled to the Li Luobei beside him.

"Alright, hehe, Senior Brother Yi Han, with the two of us joining forces, we can hold our own even against the Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer." Li Luobei took a step forward, a violent aura erupted from him, punching towards Lin Bai.

Seeing Li Luobei make his move, Yi Han’s eyes revealed a trace of reluctance. While Lin Bai was locked in battle with Li Luobei, he turned around and dashed towards the outskirts of Qitian Mountain Range.

Splat——

There was no way Li Luobei could compete against Lin Bai on his own.

After three techniques, Lin Bai defeated Li Luobei with a single sword blow.

"Senior Brother Yi Han, why haven’t you made your move yet!"

Li Luobei was bloodied and in a state of disarray, his anger seething.

But when Li Luobei turned around, all he saw was Yi Han’s figure rapidly disappearing into the forest.

He ran.

Yi Han ran.

Yi Han tricked Li Luobei into attacking Lin Bai with him, but in reality, all Yi Han wanted was for Li Luobei to hold Lin Bai back, buying him time to escape.

"Yi Han! You beast! You disgrace the name of Canghai Sky Palace’s disciple, you disgrace the name of being one of the Inner Palace’s Seven Kings!"

"Yi Han, you will not die a good death!"

Li Luobei roared in uncontrollable rage.

Lin Bai was taken aback. He also hadn’t expected Yi Han to suddenly run away.

As a lead disciple of the Canghai Sky Palace, he actually ran!

Lin Bai was dumbfounded at this point.

Even if Lin Bai wanted to chase him down at this moment, he probably wouldn’t be able to catch up.

"It looks like I’ll just have to handle you at the imperial banquet later." Lin Bai spoke in a cold voice.

Immediately, Lin Bai looked at Li Luobei.

With one swift motion of the sharp sword, the piercing light of the blade was against Li Luobei’s throat.

There was desperation in Li Luobei’s eyes, but even more so, there was resentment and rage.

It was not the unwillingness to die under Lin Bai’s hand that bothered him, but the regret of not personally killing Yi Han, that beast!

His anger was rooted in the betrayal of a fellow disciple.

"I know that my death today is inevitable! Lin Bai, before I die, would you consider, for the sake of both of us being warriors, to help me fulfill a small wish," Li Luobei asked, his face cold as ice.

"Speak." Lin Bai responded indifferently.

Li Luobei’s eyes were ablaze with rage as he bitterly uttered the words that filled him with hate: "Help me slay Yi Han, this beast, and have him suffer a thousand cuts!"

Lin Bai tranquilly nodded, "I will kill Yi Han, though I’m not sure if I can make him suffer a thousand cuts."

"You must! The treacherous should receive this punishment!" Li Luobei roared furiously.

"Fine. I will try my best." Lin Bai replied indifferently.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, Lin Bai, I believe in you. You are the second most miraculous person I have ever met, after the Saint of Canghai Sky Palace, Duan Canghai."

"Lin Bai, I know that you have a one-year agreement with Lin Zi’er. I was really looking forward to seeing you step into Canghai Yuntai Palace, but now I won’t be able to."

"What a pity, Lin Bai, that we were naturally born on opposing sides, destined to be enemies. Otherwise, perhaps we could have sat down for a drink."

"But everything is too late now."

"Now, kill me, and remember the promise you made!"

Li Luobei rose from the ground and fixed his resolute gaze on Lin Bai.

Li Luobei smirked, "Don’t bother giving me the chance to die by my own hand, Lin Bai. As warriors, we both should know that the honor of a warrior is to die in the hands of someone stronger!"

"I understand." Lin Bai nodded blandly. With a swing of his sword, he slashed Li Luobei’s throat open. Blood gushed out instantly.

Li Luobei fell to the ground, wheezing out his last words, "Help me... Slay Yi Han... A thousand cuts...!"

Choked silence.

Li Luobei had died.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and sheathed the Qingge Sword.

Li Luobei was right, there was no deep-seated hatred between himself and Li Luobei, they were simply on opposing sides.

As they were destined enemies, there was no room for compassion.

The greatest honor and dignity of a warrior at the end of their life is to die in the hands of someone stronger.

Lin Bai quickly glanced around, collecting all the corpses of the dire wolves into his storage bag, and murmured, "It’s time to head back. It’s already dusk."

Lin Bai rose to his feet and began to walk towards the edge of the Qitian Mountain Range.
