Chapter 839: Chapter 837: A Punch Blows the Saint Away! [Fifth Update]

Lin Bai stepped out of the Underground Palace and saw that within the entire He Family compound, flames reaching to the sky and billowing smoke were everywhere.

Many warriors were engaged in constant battle.

Suddenly, a man in black spotted Lin Bai and, in an instant, the brilliant flash of a blade in his hand streaked towards Lin Bai in a fierce attack.

"Brother Lin, be careful!"

A shout erupted, and a shadow of a person struck out with a palm, immediately killing the attacker in black who had lunged at Lin Bai!

Lin Bai looked up to see that the person who had come to his aid was none other than He Yunfei.

Next to He Yunfei stood an old man covered in wounds, who was unmistakably Grandpa He!

He Yunfei approached Lin Bai and asked, "Brother Lin, how did you come out?"

Lin Bai surveyed the surroundings and calmly said, "What happened?"

He Yunfei’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as he cursed through gritted teeth, "The Five Poison Sect!"

"The Five Poison Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was also startled.

Grandpa He looked at Lin Bai and said, "You are Lin Bai, the one who identified the Spiritual Medicine components of the Life Extension Divine Pill and cured the Snake Heart Poison on my body, that disciple from the Sword Art Academy?"

Looking at Grandpa He, Lin Bai said, "Seeing you unharmed, it seems that the Nirvana Pill has taken effect."

Grandpa He sighed, "Such a brilliant young talent!"

He Yunfei said, "Father, Brother Lin, now is not the time for idle talk. The He Family can no longer hold out. We have ordered all He Family disciples to enter the Underground Palace and retreat to the last line of defense."

"I have already sent someone to report to the Miracle Ridge. Once they receive the news, help will soon arrive."

Lin Bai said, "It takes at least half a month to travel back and forth from Elixir King City to the Miracle Ridge. Can the Underground Palace withstand for that long?"

He Yunfei was taken aback and said in a dimmed tone, "That’s the only thing we can do now. The He Family has no other way out."

Lin Bai nodded and remained silent.

"Ah! What’s happening? My cultivation is falling!"

"I’ve descended from the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm to the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer!"

"Good heavens, what’s going on?"

"Patriarch, Young Master, brothers, we don’t know what’s happening, but our Cultivation States are suddenly declining!"

Surrounded by more than five hundred house servants next to He Yunfei and Grandpa He, they exclaimed in utter shock.

At that moment, when Lin Bai heard the shouting, he looked up to see a wave of turbid yellow smoke sweeping down from the southeastern sky. Any warrior caught within this smoke had their cultivation level fall rapidly.

Lin Bai and Grandpa He exclaimed in unison, "Qilin Smoke!"

He Yunfei was shocked, "What is Qilin Smoke?"

Lin Bai remained silent, his eyes swirling with murderous intent.

Grandpa He explained, "Qilin Smoke, also known as Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter, is one of the Three Great Miraculous Poisons of the Five Poison Sect. This poison takes a long time to manifest, but once a warrior inhales it into their body, their cultivation will immediately start to decline until it is completely gone. After that, if the antidote is not taken, they will die as their body explodes!"

Lin Bai had once been poisoned by the Dissolving Power Reaper Scatter but fortunately was saved by the War God Old Man in the end.

Lin Bai said, "Let’s go, fall back to the Underground Palace. If we don’t retreat now, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out at all!"

Lin Bai was all too aware that under the Qilin Smoke, the cultivation of the He Family’s warriors was continuously decreasing, rendering them utterly powerless against the blades and swords of the Five Poison Sect!

With one glance, Lin Bai knew that once the Qilin Smoke had completely enveloped the He Family, it would turn into a slaughterhouse for the Five Poison Sect, where the warriors would be murdered one by one!

"Go!"

Grandpa He’s face was filled with ruthless resolution, and he looked on in agony as one He Family warrior after another was slain before turning to head for the Underground Palace.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Just then, Bao Xuanming and Zhang Pengyi joined forces and struck once more!

Lin Bai turned around, his eyes revealing killing intent.

At that moment, He Yunfei leaped up and intercepted Bao Xuanming and Zhang Pengyi.

In the distance.

Upon the roof, a man and a woman stood side by side.

These two were the Saint and Saintess of the Five Poison Sect.

The Saint smiled and said, "Is that Lin Bai?"

The Saintess nodded, her eyes revealing a sense of melancholy, "It’s such a pity, when I first met him at the Lingdong Famous Sword Villa, he was so heroic and invincible under heaven. The peerless sword might of that shocking sword cultivator was so imposing that one dared not look directly at him!"

"And now, his Dantian has been wasted, turning him into a cripple."

"Truly, heaven envies the talented!"

The Saintess said with some regret.

"Hmph, Your Highness, just watch. Today I will surely kill him with my own hands. The thing that you failed to do back at the Famous Sword Villa, today I’ll do it for you."

"Learn your lesson well!"

After the Saint found out Lin Bai’s identity from the Saintess, he sneered and with a flicker of his form, he charged into the Qilin Smoke, heading straight for Lin Bai!

On one side, He Yunfei and several hundred He Family servants were fighting fiercely against Bao Xuanming and Zhang Pengyi.

As for Lin Bai and Grandpa He, they were at the rear, as one was a cripple without a Dantian and the other was a patient still recovering from a serious illness, neither of them had any fighting capacity to speak of.

Grandpa He said to He Yunfei, "Yunfei, do not linger in battle, quickly retreat to the Underground Palace!"

Hum——

Just at this moment.

Standing beside Grandpa He, Lin Bai suddenly sensed a hint of killing intent, causing the hairs on his body to stand on end.

Lin Bai focused his eyes and saw a shadow in black hurtling out of the Qilin Smoke, coming at him fiercely with a power in his palm that could be described as devastating heaven and earth.

Even though his face was covered, Lin Bai could feel the chilly smile spreading beneath his black cloth.

"Friend Lin Bai, be careful!"

Grandpa He also instantly spotted this shadow and immediately blocked in front of Lin Bai.

Boom!

The shadow in black sent Grandpa He flying with a palm strike and said coldly, "Old man, if you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!"

This shadow was none other than the Saint of the Five Poison Sect!

The Saint sneered, turning his gaze towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai curiously asked, "You’re here to kill me?"

The Saint sneered, "Lin Bai, did you think you could still live after taking something from my Five Poison Sect?"

"Hmph, when you get to Yama Hall, beg Yama nicely to let you be reborn into a good life next time!"

"Die!"

The Saint didn’t bother with persuasion and dashed directly at Lin Bai, striking down with a ferocious palm.

Grandpa He shouted, "Friend Lin Bai!"

In the heat of the battle with Zhang Pengyi, He Yunfei turned his head sharply, crying out in horror, "Brother Lin, be careful, get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way? Hmph, even at his peak, he wouldn’t be able to dodge this old man’s palm, let alone now that he’s a cripple!"

"Lin Bai, accept your death!"

The Saint had a smug smile on his face, as if he could already see the scene of Lin Bai’s death when his palm landed.

Lin Bai looked calmly at the Saint’s palm strike and laughed coldly, "You say I won’t be able to dodge? Heh, let me tell you, I never even thought about dodging in the first place!"

Roar!

Lin Bai bellowed, and immediately a fierce wind blew around him!

Faced with the Saint’s ferocious palm strike, Lin Bai threw out a punch!

Instantly, fist met palm, and a roaring explosion ensued!

Splurt——

The grand force of the impact dispersed immediately; the Saint was knocked back over a hundred meters by Lin Bai’s punch, and Lin Bai himself flew back in a sorry state, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood as he landed!

"What!"

Grandpa He, He Yunfei, Zhang Pengyi, and Bao Xuanming were all startled by the collision between Lin Bai and the Saint!

Zhang Pengyi shouted in surprise, "Lin Bai has no cultivation, yet he managed to knock back the Saint with a single punch!"

Grandpa He looked at Lin Bai and couldn’t stop his amazement, "His physical strength is so mighty!"

At a distance.

The Saintess, seeing Lin Bai knocking the Saint back with one punch, revealed a hint of amazement in her eyes and said solemnly, "Indeed, a true king, no matter where they are or in what circumstances, remains a king!"

"Even if his Dantian is destroyed and he has become a cripple, he is still the strongest among cripples!"
