Chapter 960: Chapter 958: If You Have the Ability, Just Wait! (5 more)

Boom——

Lin Bai was sent flying horizontally, tumbling to the ground, looking utterly dejected.

At this moment, Zhu Kun, Chuyi, Wu Qing, and Bai Chen joined forces and pressed in on him.

"Give me the token!" Zhu Kun stared at Lin Bai and roared furiously.

"Dream on." Lin Bai’s face warped with distaste as he grasped his sword. Two Heaven-reaching, earth-piercing sword auras slashed out, forcing Zhu Kun to retreat.

"Damn it! You’re asking for death!" Zhu Kun was completely provoked by Lin Bai and in an instant, charged forward.

"Nine Rotations Sword Steps! Third Stage!"

Lin Bai, seeing the four men advancing, instantly flickered and disappeared from the spot, causing them all to miss.

"Think you can leave?"

Bai Chen from the Spear Daoist Courtyard snorted coldly. He raised his war spear, and a violent spear aura crashed towards Lin Bai like a dragon emerging violently from the sea.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai inwardly cried out and swiftly dodged to the side to evade.

Simultaneously, Wu Qing and Chuyi launched their attacks.

"Nine Rotations Sword Steps, Fourth Stage!"

Lin Bai clenched his teeth and desperately used the power of the Nine Rotations Sword Steps, allowing him to once again escape from the destructive force of Chuyi and Wu Qing!

Wu Qing roared in frustration, "Is this kid a slippery eel? Why is he so hard to catch!"

Wu Qing was somewhat annoyed. As the third-ranked powerhouse of the Fist Daoist Courtyard, he rarely encountered a Sixth Stage martial artist as troublesome as Lin Bai.

Furthermore, Wu Qing felt like he was being toyed with by Lin Bai, which made his rage burn even hotter!

Lin Bai, using the Fourth Stage of the Nine Rotations Sword Steps, had already surpassed the speed of an Eighth Stage martial artist and rushed out toward the edge of the Spirit Puppet horde at breakneck speed!

"We must stop him, or if he escapes, it will be difficult for us to catch him again," Wu Qing bellowed, gritting his teeth and immediately charging forward.

Following this, Bai Chen, Zhu Kun, and the others all pursued him!

"Almost there, almost there!"

As Lin Bai raced on, he looked up at the sky at the Immortal Palace where only a corner was still not visible.

"Die!"

Suddenly, at that moment, Bai Chen from the Spear Daoist Courtyard appeared behind Lin Bai with ghost-like speed, raised his long spear, and struck down fiercely. The destructive power exploded behind Lin Bai as the thrust landed!

"Hahaha, the token is mine now."

Wu Qing laughed wildly, fists surging with power, attacking Lin Bai with earth-shattering might.

"Sweeping Thousands of Soldiers!"

Lin Bai swiftly rose from the ground; the Mo Wen Sword’s Second Form unleashed its terrifying power once more!

With a fierce strike, he forced Wu Qing to retreat again!

"Damn it!" Wu Qing screamed in frustrated rage.

But this clash also impacted Lin Bai, who was sent flying over a hundred meters by the residual force, landing in a heap on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Kun’s face broke into great joy, and he immediately charged toward Lin Bai!

"Your life is mine!"

Seeing Bai Chen striking Lin Bai, Zhu Kun’s face lit up with mad joy. He stepped forward, covering a hundred meters in an instant, with a sword dance as grand as dragons and phoenixes. His sword intention soared to the Nine Heavens, terrifying in might as it struck down upon Lin Bai.

Lin Bai, seeing the sword coming, showed a trace of despair in his eyes.

The speed of the sword was too fast, nearly making it impossible for Lin Bai to counter.

"It’s over."

Lin Bai sighed in resignation, a bitter smile on his face.

After fleeing for three hours, he hadn’t expected to still be caught by these four in the end.

With Zhu Kun’s sword bearing down, Lin Bai felt certain death was inevitable.

"Hahaha!" Seeing his sword about to strike true, Zhu Kun couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile on his face.

Speeding up, Zhu Kun’s sword aimed for Lin Bai’s throat!

Lin Bai closed his eyes in resignation, sighing, "To the martial artists of the alliance, Elder Brother Ruan, Senior Sister Ling Shuang, Ruohan, Qian Shanyun, Chi Hu, I’m sorry. In the end, I couldn’t survive!"

"Your vendetta will have to be avenged later!"

Lin Bai said this with helplessness in his voice.

Facing the siege of the top ten martial artists from the Four Great Daoist Academies, Lin Bai had already given it his all, exhausting every trick and technique he had, but it was still not enough to last until the final moment!

Boom—

Suddenly, just at that moment.

Just as Lin Bai was preparing to close his eyes and await death.

Suddenly, a rumbling came from the heavens above, a beam of white light burst from outside the Nine Heavens Cloud, enveloping Lin Bai.

As Zhu Kun’s sword strike came, it collided with this white light, not only failing to kill Lin Bai, but the light flung Zhu Kun away, causing him to awkwardly fall a hundred meters away, his eyes filled with terror!

"The Ascension Bridge is here!"

Zhu Kun looked at the white light covering Lin Bai in disbelief, filled with countless frustrations!

The Ascension Palace!

This was the greatest opportunity within Martial Intent Mountain, and it appeared only rarely.

Every time it emerged, it brought endless opportunities to warriors.

And identities like Bai Chen, Zhu Kun, Wu Qing, and Chuyi had been stuck at the Eighth Stage for two to three years without any breakthroughs, eagerly awaiting the opening of the Ascension Palace, originally intending to enter and acquire its resources!

But they had not expected that they would not only fail to kill a Sixth Stage martial artist but also allowed Lin Bai to enter the Ascension Palace!

"The Ascension Bridge has arrived!"

"The Heavenly Palace is now open!"

"With the Heavenly Palace open and the Sky Bridge fallen, those who hold the Token of Ascending to Heaven, enter the Heavenly Palace and obtain good fortune!"

"Now, who holds the token?"

These low-level martial artists all looked up to see Lin Bai within the beam of white light.

"It’s him!"

"It’s Lin Bai!"

"Could it be that in the final moment, Senior Brothers Chuyi, Bai Chen, Wu Qing, and Zhu Kun failed to kill him?"

Many warriors spoke in disbelief.

How could four top ten masters from different Daoist Courtyards, joining forces to encircle and suppress a Fourth Stage warrior, fail?

Bai Chen silently watched the white light, his face filled with helplessness.

Wu Qing remained silent, his face burning with a fury that could destroy heavens and earth!

Chuyi ground his teeth, glaring at Lin Bai and growling fiercely, "This opportunity should have been mine!"

In the white light, Lin Bai slowly opened his eyes and saw the surrounding warriors all refraining from taking action, staring at him in shock.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Bai, puzzled, stood up from the ground, looked up, and saw the Heavenly Palace fully revealed before him.

From the Immortal Palace above the Nine Heavens Cloud, a staircase of White Jade steps, glowing with white light, extended downwards, reaching all the way to Lin Bai’s feet.

This was the Ascension Bridge!

"Hahaha!"

"I can’t believe I didn’t die!"

"And in the end, it is I who enter the Heavenly Palace!"

Lin Bai was ecstatic, and he turned to look at Chuyi, Bai Chen, Wu Qing, and Zhu Kun, "If you four are smart, you would leave Martial Intent Mountain now!"

"Otherwise, when I come out from the Heavenly Palace, I will surely leave you with your souls scattered!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Zhu Kun, Chuyi, Wu Qing, and Bai Chen all fell into silence.

Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong approached and said, "Elder brothers, do not panic. This person is just a waste with a Yellow Rank First Class Martial Spirit; even if he enters the Heavenly Palace, with his potential, it’s difficult for him to gain any opportunity!"

Hearing this, Zhu Kun sneered immediately, "So it turns out he’s just a worthless Yellow Level First Grade, what a waste of an opportunity. It would’ve been so much better if it had been mine!"

Wu Qing roared, "You, a worthless creature with a Yellow Rank First Class Martial Spirit, vying for opportunities with us, this is infuriating!"

"What! Yellow Level First Grade! Dammit, it’s such a waste of an opportunity!" Bai Chen also roared in disbelief.

"Mad, dammit, dammit, dammit!" Chuyi was also raging furiously.

All four were angry beyond measure, for what potential could a Yellow Rank First Class Martial Spirit have?

Wasting this chance at the Ascension Palace.

This made the four of them even more annoyed. How wonderful it would have been if the opportunity had been theirs!

"Utterly detestable! If I don’t personally slay you, my rage will not be quenched!" Zhu Kun roared, "I’ll wait right here for you. Once you come out of the Heavenly Palace, I will definitely leave you without a whole corpse!"

Lin Bai glared fiercely at Zhu Kun, the memory of Jian Ruohan being struck down by his sword flashing through his mind. With a malicious tone, he responded, "Zhu Kun, if you dare, then just wait!"
