Chapter 585 - 584: Remnant Soul of the Wooden Sword!

Chapter 585: Chapter 584: Remnant Soul of the Wooden Sword!

Bathed in golden light, Lin Bai walked to the peak of the Sword Saint Mountain with an expressionless face.

At the top of Sword Saint Mountain, a wooden sword that had been inserted into the ground for an unknown number of years was now completely pulled out from the earth. It hovered in mid-air, its sword tip directed at Lin Bai, emitting a chilling gleam.

"I just wanted to ask one thing when I got here — how many people under heaven still want to kill me!"

"Let them all come, one by one. Any other way would be a waste of time!"

Lin Bai stated coldly, looking at the wooden sword.

An emotionless voice echoed in Lin Bai’s ears: "Arrogant and complacent, you’ll never know the kind of powerful enemy you’re about to face!"

Lin Bai asked coldly: "Who are you? Declare your name. Lin Mou does not kill the nameless under his sword!"

The voice replied: "Who I am does not matter, all you need to do is wait for death!"

Lin Bai said coldly: "What is the meaning of the Devouring Sword Spirit that won’t tolerate heaven or earth? And who commanded you to kill me!"

The voice said: "Meeting you is my destiny. And your meeting with me is also your fate, but unfortunately, it’s your misfortune!"

"After killing you, I can break free of destiny!"

"Die!"

After the voice coldly spat out those words, the wooden sword began to tremble violently. A torrential sword aura swept down from the wooden sword.

Boom, boom, boom——

A sword stroke furiously cut down, and the powerful sword qi shook the clouds and sky in all directions.

Qi of sword soared into the sky, shattering heaven and earth!

This stroke, already had power surpassing the Human Elixir Realm!

"Sword Intention!"

"Divine Power! Wind-Slaying!"

"Divine Power! Waning Flower!"

"Divine Power! Snow-Burying!"

"Golden War Body!"

At this moment, Lin Bai used all his means to strike at the wooden sword.

"Flying sword, once more!"

The flying sword appeared, using all of Lin Bai’s divine techniques.

In an instant, it was as if there were two Lin Bai’s, simultaneously using their strongest sword skills and attacking towards the wooden sword!

The Elder in Purple Robe, seeing Lin Bai’s erupting power, was scared to the point his eyeballs almost flew out: "Lin Bai’s combat power actually directly challenges the Human Elixir Realm!"

Jian Qianqiu also said: "His flying sword is equivalent to a second him, fully displaying all his power and even more powerful than him!"

Yell——

Lin Bai let out a roar, and a burst of sword Qi surged shooting towards the wooden sword.

A loud thud.

The wooden sword furiously slashed down, its sword qi shattered all of Lin Bai’s attacks, after which it struck Lin Bai’s chest with a single sword stroke.

A splat!

Lin Bai was sent flying, landing heavily hundreds of meters away, vomiting blood. There was a terrifying sword mark on his chest.

This stroke of the sword nearly took Lin Bai’s life.

The flying sword swiftly stabbed through the sky, and with one stroke, was going to pin Lin Bai to the ground.

Lin Bai sneered: "Now that I’m about to die, can you tell me why you want to kill me?"

The wooden sword rushed towards him, a cold voice resounding: "You’re not worthy to know!"

Whoosh——

The wooden sword rushed furiously, viciously stabbing towards Lin Bai.

"Die!"

From within the wooden sword, a cold voice spread out. In the words, there was an unspeakable excitement: "I originally thought I would decay forever in this piece of rotten wood. But I didn’t expect to meet you!"

"My destiny! Destiny! Once I kill you and take your soul back, I will undoubtedly be able to break free from destiny!"

The moment when the wooden sword was about to strike.

Within Lin Bai’s eyes, a surge of sharp black light suddenly filled them!

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Cease War!"

At this critical moment, Lin Bai once again comprehended the secret skill of the Devouring Sword Spirit!

Ever since Lin Bai understood the Soul Searching and Breaking Prohibition, two secret techniques.

He now understood the third secret technique!

This secret technique was called Cease War!

It could shatter all weapons Under Heaven!

Black Sword Aura began to permeate from the Qingge Sword.

Lin Bai raised the Qingge Sword and swung a sword down, colliding with the Wooden Sword.

"Hahaha, a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Your cultivation of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm, even though I am only in the form of a Remnant Soul, is something you cannot resist!" The cold voice came again.

Bang-

At the moment when the Qingge Sword and the Wooden Sword collided, a miraculous scene appeared.

The originally invincible Wooden Sword, upon being struck by the Qingge Sword, immediately burst open layer by layer.

There was a loud bang!

The Wooden Sword in front of Lin Bai exploded out with great force.

And a Remnant Soul with utter disbelief appeared in front of Lin Bai.

On the face of this Remnant Soul, there was an incredulous look. He looked at Lin Bai and said coldly, "You actually understood the third secret technique of the Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai looked at the Remnant Soul, also surprised, his voice coldly asked, "Tell me, exactly who is it that wants to kill the owner of the Devouring Sword Spirit!"

The Remnant Soul was terrified, and after his expression turned, he felt his body constantly weakening. He coldly said, "No, without the Soul Wood, my body will decay to ashes in three hours!"

"I need to hurry up and find new Soul Wood!"

"Damn brat, you’d better stay alive. I’ll be back for you!"

"A thousand years of recouping only gathered a trace of Remnant Soul, I don’t want to die now! Moreover, I have found this little thing. After I recover my body and kill this person, I will take his spirit back and escape fate...hahaha..."

With a wild laugh, the Remnant Soul swirled in black mist and disappeared directly from Sword Saint Mountain!

"Where are you running! You haven’t answered my question!" Lin Bai angrily roared as he watched the Remnant Soul leave.

"Haha, take a good look at your Devouring Sword Spirit’s lineage. Look at what your Devouring Sword Spirit forefathers did, then you’ll understand." The Remnant Soul’s laugh echoed in the air.

Only Lin Bai and the Remnant Soul could hear their conversation.

Lin Bai saw the Remnant Soul disappear from the horizon and his face turned cold.

"The Devouring Sword Spirit has a lineage?"

Lin Bai spoke in surprise.

Immediately, Lin Bai sat cross-legged and took out a Healing Pill from his Storage Bag and began to heal.

In Sword Discussion City.

Jian Qianqiu watched as Lin Bai shattered the Wooden Sword, his eyes widened in shock, swiftly followed by his surprise at seeing the Remnant Soul floating in mid-air.

The Elder in Purple Robe said, "It turns out that the Wooden Sword was just a place for this Remnant Soul to recuperate."

Jian Qianqiu said, "We should have thought of this earlier. The Wooden Sword had nothing special about it, but what was really exceptional was the Remnant Soul inside it..."

The Elder in Purple Robe took a deep breath and said, "Yes, the power of this Remnant Soul is quite terrifying, I don’t know where he’s gone to now."

Jian Qianqiu smiled, "But this is a good thing for Famous Sword Manor!"

The Elder in Purple Robe laughed, "Lin Bai shattered the heirloom of your manor, and you say it’s a good thing?"

Jian Qianqiu chuckled, "Humph, if the Remnant Soul hadn’t appeared, I certainly wouldn’t have let Lin Bai off for shattering the Wooden Sword!"

"But now, if Lin Bai hadn’t shattered the Wooden Sword, how would we have known that there’s such a powerful and terrifying Remnant Soul inside it!"

"What if this Remnant Soul woke up one day, took a dislike to Famous Sword Manor, and wiped us out with a flick of his hand?"

Jian Qianqiu said lightly.

Upon hearing this, the Elder in Purple Robe nodded and said, "That’s right, one cannot allow others to sleep close to them. With such a mysterious Remnant Soul residing in Famous Sword Manor for so long, you probably couldn’t sleep either!"

Jian Qianqiu gave a slight smile, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"It seems like I owe Lin Bai a favor."

Jian Qianqiu sighed with a bitter smile.
