Chapter 465 - 464: Let Me Block This Palm Strike for You, Old Man!

Chapter 465: Chapter 464: Let Me Block This Palm Strike for You, Old Man!

"You must survive, find Sword Xuan, bring back the secret manuals of the Spirit Sword Sect, and revive the Spirit Sword Sect."

The Second Elder tightly held Lin Bai’s hand and spoke passionately.

Lin Bai, swallowing his tears, said: "I promise you, I will survive, I will find Sword Xuan Senior Brother, bring back the lost secrets of the Spirit Sword Sect, and make the Spirit Sword Sect more powerful, standing once again at the pinnacle of the Lingdong 700 States."

"Good, good...", the Second Elder spoke with a smile.

"Lin Bai, you’re too young, too impulsive. There’s much about this world you don’t yet comprehend."

"Lin Bai, I hope you remember, there is no justice in this world, no divine law, no disgrace or vile, no eternal power or wealth."

"Only the strong and the weak exist."

"In this world, only the strong and weak."

"The strong naturally rule!"

"The weak naturally become the prey!"

"I hope after my death, you will become stronger, constantly surpass the Martial Realm, surpass the limits of Heaven and Earth."

"Become stronger, stronger than anyone else!"

The Second Elder spoke to Lin Bai.

Tears welled up in Lin Bai’s eyes, and despite his best efforts, they streamed down his cheeks: "I’ve always strived to become stronger, stronger, stronger than anyone in this world!"

The Second Elder smiled in satisfaction: "Good. I believe when you become stronger, the Spirit Sword Sect will become even stronger, standing at the pinnacle of Martial Arts, respected by all under heaven. It’s a pity... I won’t be there to see that day."

The pain in Lin Bai’s heart was overwhelming, and his tears fell freely.

Su Zhan stood to the side, watching with a cruel smile, sneering: "Hahaha, what a touching scene, Second Elder. Do you know what I hate most about your Sword Alliance? It’s your exaggerated sense of justice, always playing the saviour, always trying to help the weak."

"Regrettably, this world doesn’t need the weak."

"Martial Art is an invasion, a plunder!"

"The strong are respected!"

Su Zhan laughed coldly.

"Since the Second Elder took that blow for you, it’s no matter. No one can block the next strike," Su Zhan said with a cold smile.

"Lin Bai, prepare to die!"

Su Zhan bellowed and launched an enraged palm strike.

Lin Bai glared at Su Zhan, bellowing, "Do you really believe you can kill me?"

"Up next, let me show you the scenery of Hell."

"Devour..."

Lin Bai emitted a roar to the sky, a black light exploding from within.

"Who says no one can block this blow for him!"

"I’ll take this blow for him!"

At that moment, an angry voice rang out from close by.

A form suddenly appeared in front of Lin Bai.

Su Zhan’s palm slam hit the man’s chest, yet it didn’t hurt him. Instead, it was met with a powerful force from the man, which it rebounded back towards Su Zhan, making him spit blood and leaving him seriously injured.

Lin Bai’s eyes widened, staring at the figure that appeared before him.

That figure was one Lin Bai was very familiar with.

He was Ling Tianzi...

Lin Bai had originally planned to use Devouring Sword Spirit to fight Su Zhan till the very end, but he never expected Ling Tianzi to step in at the last moment.

Su Zhan’s palm strike hit Ling Tianzi’s chest.

The strike didn’t even make Ling Tianzi flinch.

Instead, without even striking out, Ling Tianzi’s internal power sent Su Zhan flying.

From little over a hundred meters away, Su Zhan staggered to his feet in a pathetic state, his eyes full of terror as he croaked out, "Ling Tianzi!"

"And me." At that moment, Li Shanqing appeared by Lin Bai’s side, grinning at Su Zhan!

"Master, Third Senior Brother."

Lin Bai looked at Ling Tianzi and Li Shanqing, his heart filled with emotion.

Ling Tianzi cast a casual glance at Lin Bai.

With just that look, a surge of majestic strength seemed to calm the Devouring Sword Spirit roaring within Lin Bai, returning it to a state of tranquility.

Li Shanqing knelt down, took out an Elixir Pill, and gave it to the Second Elder to swallow.

Convulsed with rage, Su Zhan said, "When you first came to Spirit Sword Sect, did we not agree that you would not interfere in any affairs of the Spirit Sword Sect? That was the only reason I allowed you to stay."

Ling Tianzi hummed softly, "Indeed we did. However, our agreement did not include anything about you attempting to kill my apprentice."

Shocked, Su Zhan cried out, "Your apprentice?"

Pointing at Lin Bai, Ling Tianzi spoke with certitude, "Lin Bai is my fourth official disciple and my last closed-door student."

At that moment, Ling Tianzi finally acknowledged Lin Bai’s status.

The difference between an official student and a registered student may only be two words, but it is immeasurably vast!

With his face twisted in displeasure, Su Zhan remembered that when Ling Tianzi and Li Shanqing first came to the Spirit Sword Sect, he had sparred with Ling Tianzi.

Although it was a fight between a dragon and a tiger, Su Zhan knew that Ling Tianzi was merely toying with him then.

Despite Su Zhan having gone all out and even revealing his trump cards, Ling Tianzi did not even utilize one-tenth of his strength.

Su Zhan was well aware of how formidable Ling Tianzi was and didn’t want to engage in a showdown with him.

"So, Ling Tianzi, what do you want?" asked Su Zhan, a sarcastic smile playing on his lips.

Ling Tianzi chuckled, "Oh, nothing much. You hurt my apprentice. I just want your life in return."

Startled, Su Zhan snarled, "Ling Tianzi, I know your cultivation is deep and unfathomable, but don’t forget, I’m a royal disciple of the Su Dynasty from the Lingnan 72 States. If you kill me, the Su Dynasty won’t rest till they’ve claimed your life in return!"

Ling Tianzi hummed in amusement, "No worries. I can just exterminate the Su Dynasty along with you. How simple is that?"

Thump!

Shock registered in Su Zhan’s eyes.

The moment Ling Tianzi spoke, he announced his intent to wipe out the entire Su Dynasty, and his words were thick with resolve.

At that very moment, Su Zhan launched a sneak attack on Su Cang.

"Let’s go!"

Su Zhan grabbed Su Cang’s shoulder and crushed a jade slip from his Storage Bag.

With a casual smile, Ling Tianzi said, "Bring out the pitiful Escape Light Talisman of 100,000 Miles in front of me. You dare to make a fool of yourself?"

As he spoke, Ling Tianzi pointed his finger.

Atop his fingertip, a world-annihilating power began to gather.

Under its influence, every creature within 100,000 miles of Spirit Sword Sect began to tremble in fear.

Without exception, even Lin Bai felt an intense apprehension under Ling Tianzi’s casual gesture, and his Devouring Sword Spirit began to quiver.

What an immense power! A casual gesture rattled the heavens and intimidated all spirits!

Su Zhan stared at Ling Tianzi, his face ashen!

Lin Bai shouted, "Master, I beg you not to kill them. I’ll take Su Zhan’s and Su Cang’s lives myself!"

"The blood debt they owe to Spirit Sword Sect, I’ll repay it with their blood!" Lin Bai seethed with uncontainable anger.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Ling Tianzi retracted the finger he had extended.

At that moment, Su Zhan and Su Cang’s figures transformed into a ray of light and vanished within the premises of Spirit Sword Sect.

Watching Su Zhan and Su Cang’s departure, Lin Bai clenched his teeth, and with rage-fueled intensity, declared, "How can I satiate the hatred in my heart if I don’t kill you myself!"
