Chapter 556 - 555: The Coldness and Warmth of the World!

Chapter 556: Chapter 555: The Coldness and Warmth of the World!

"Hmph, my Wind Chasing Sword Skill is right before your eyes, yet you’re still oblivious, not even prepared to defend."

"What a waste."

Seeing Lin Bai unmoved, a sneer emerged in Lishu An’s heart as his sword technique flashed and disappeared.

At that moment, Lin Bai gave a subtle smile, his eyes bursting with dazzling brilliance.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, Lin Bai’s figure flashed and turned into a waning shadow, disappearing before Lishu An.

"What! Where did he go?"

Lishu An thrust his sword, striking nothing but thin air.

The lack of Lin Bai’s trace took Lishu An by surprise.

"Are you looking for me?"

Just then, a mocking laughter came from behind Lishu An.

Lishu An spun around, only to find Lin Bai standing behind him, sneering at him.

Lishu An exclaimed, "Hmph, I didn’t expect your body technique to be so fast. I underestimated you. You avoided one sword strike, but the next one, you will surely lose!"

"Take this!"

Lishu An instantly made a sword thrust, striking towards Lin Bai.

And Lin Bai, with a swift movement, easily dodged Lishu An’s sword technique.

"Senior brother Lishu An, what are you doing? Just defeat him, already. It’s been many rounds."

"Yeah, Senior brother Lishu An, you’re a warrior at the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm. Stop playing around with worthless people!"

"Haha, go Senior brother Lishu An!"

The maids all said these words to Lishu An.

Lishu An grimaced, with veins popping on his forehead.

To him, Lin Bai was like a wisp of wind. Not even a touch could be felt nor a grip could be held.

Whenever his sword was about to hit Lin Bai, Lin Bai would suddenly disappear.

"Damn it!"

Lishu An was furious. Listening to the cheers of the maids, Lishu An felt more enraged. He wished he could defeat Lin Bai with a single stroke. But he couldn’t hit him. His sword couldn’t touch even a corner of Lin Bai’s clothes.

"Take this! Take this! Take this!"

Inside the Great Hall, Lishu An was wildly striking towards Lin Bai.

But every time, his move was evaded by Lin Bai’s eerie body technique.

"What’s going on? Hundreds of rounds have passed and Senior Brother Lishu An hasn’t even managed to touch a corner of Lin Bai’s clothes."

"God, a warrior at the Middle Stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm is quicker than Senior brother Lishu An!"

"Oh my, sisters, it seems we’ve probably misjudged. It appears that this fellow at the Half-step Divine Pill Realm is far more capable than he looks."

"Yeah, we really did misjudge him. We should have thought of this earlier. Any warrior who could be invited here must definitely have exceptional skills."

"Alright, we need to win over him later."

"Yeah, we’ve probably left a bad impression with our insolent remarks earlier. We should make it up to him later."

The maids changed their tune immediately after seeing Lin Bai’s odd body technique, realizing their error in misconceptions.

At this moment, the maids collectively changed their mocking demeanor. Their faces were filled with captivating smiles as they looked at Lin Bai with eyes full of coyness.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Lishu An swore furiously.

It was only then that Lishu An realized Lin Bai was merely toying with him.

A martial artist at the Great Perfection of the Half-step Divine Elixir, yet his sword couldn’t even touch the corner of a mid-stage Half-step Divine Elixir martial artist. This was more than disgraceful and a thousand times worse than killing Lishu An.

Lin Bai casually said, "Forget it, this isn’t fun, I don’t want to play anymore."

Lishu An raged, "Play? I’ll send you straight to hell to play!"

"Wind Chasing Sword Skill! Wind Sweeping away the Scattered Clouds!"

Lishu An roared with a violent slash;

This strike was so powerful it made the entire Sword River Palace tremble.

Expressionless, Lin Bai’s eyes revealed a chilling intent to kill.

"Hmph!" Lin Bai snorted coldly, took a step forward and threw a punch, shattering Lishu An’s sword skill. Then he landed another heavy punch on Lishu An’s chest, sending him flying more than a hundred meters, landing on the stairs, coughing up fresh blood, and appearing utterly defeated.

"Senior Brother Lishu An lost."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai is so brilliant. As expected from the sword cultivator personally invited by Famous Sword Manor, he’s a cut above the rest."

"Exactly, I already knew that Senior Brother Lin Bai is exceptional among his contemporaries."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, my name is Wan Hong..."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, my name is Zi Hua..."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, I’ve been struggling with my sword skills recently. Could you spare some time tonight to guide me in my sword skills? Oh, by the way, I’m still a virgin..."

The hundred or so maids started to chat softly to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai sneered internally.

The harsh words and ridiculing smiles of these maids were more hurtful than any knife or sword.

But when they started smiling, it was like a garden in full bloom.

Women, they’re indeed the most powerful weapon in this world.

"All of you get out!"

Lin Bai roared in anger.

All the maids who were sending him flirting glances immediately shrank back, their smiles vanished abruptly.

"Leave! I don’t want to repeat myself!"

Lin Bai shout again angrily.

The maids cried out, "Senior Brother Lin Bai, don’t drive us away. If Famous Sword Manor finds out we were expelled by you, they will surely punish us."

"Yes, Senior Brother Lin Bai, we might lose our cultivation."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, a woman without cultivation in this world can only end up being played in the Fengyue Places."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, please don’t drive us away!"

At the announcement of their impending expulsion, the maids immediately turned pale and pleaded on their knees.

The hierarchy at Famous Sword Manor was strict, something Lin Bai had noticed when he was in the Welcoming Guests Hall.

These maids weren’t supposed to defy their superiors like this. Even if the Manor was lenient, they were bound for severe punishment.

Lishu An, who was picking himself up from the steps, looked at Lin Bai with panic: "Senior Brother Lin Bai, please spare us. If you expel us, the Manor will punish us severely for failing to prevent misconduct!"

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, don’t cast us out, please!"

Lishu An pleaded desperately.

Lishu An was really scared, his eyes were filled with regret and fear.

Earlier, he thought he could easily defeat Lin Bai and secure his place in the Sword River Palace.

But now, Lin Bai’s strength turned out to be far superior than his. If Lin Bai decided to expel them from the Sword River Palace, the Manor would know about it within an hour. Not only Lishu An but also all the maids who got expelled would be severely punished!

Charging them with failure to manage affairs, especially on the eve of the Manor’s Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition, was a serious crime.
