Chapter 979: Chapter 977: Lin Bai! You are nothing but a beast! (9 more)

The Blazing Flame Snake King was dead.

Ye Suxin immediately rushed towards the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower.

Seeing this scene, anger flooded Lin Bai’s face, and he immediately charged forward with the Nine Rotations Sword Steps.

"Annihilation Sword Skill! Inviting Reincarnation!"

Lin Bai leapt into the air, slashing down a ferociously sharp sword towards Ye Suxin.

Ye Suxin hastily gathered his focus, drew his Treasure Sword, and struck back with a counter-attack.

The swords of the two men clashed in mid-air, and the sound of an explosion rang out.

"Stop fighting, both of you," Hong Su urgently shouted.

Ye Suxin’s face was a mask of coldness as he stared at Lin Bai and said, "I am determined to have the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower today, and anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Lin Bai replied coldly, "I was the one who discovered the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, and I was the one who slew the Blazing Flame Snake King. The Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower should rightly belong to me today. If you have the ability, then come and try to steal it!"

"You’re seeking death!"

Ye Suxin’s expression darkened as he circulated the power of his Divine Elixir to unleash the strength of the Human Elixir Realm Ninth Layer, striking furiously at Lin Bai with his sword.

Lin Bai’s eyes widened in shock, and he immediately sidestepped with the Nine Rotations Sword Steps, simultaneously unleashing another immensely powerful Sword Aura that swept towards Ye Suxin.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were locked in a fierce battle.

Hong Su stood anxiously to one side.

Hong Su didn’t know who she should help now.

Help Ye Suxin?

Was she supposed to help Ye Suxin attack Lin Bai?

Help Lin Bai?

Was she supposed to help Lin Bai attack Ye Suxin?

The most troubled person here was Hong Su.

Helping either side was difficult; it was hard to choose.

As Hong Su hesitated,

suddenly Ye Suxin’s Sword Skill transformed, becoming swift and fierce. A dazzling and captivating Sword Aura shot directly towards Lin Bai to strike him down.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai cried out in alarm, having sensed the destructive power within that Sword Aura.

If this Sword Aura hit its mark, Lin Bai might not die, but he would likely be gravely injured!

"Nine Rotations Sword Steps, Fourth Stage!"

Lin Bai rapidly maneuvered his movement technique, his figure flickering, vanishing from beneath the swipe of the Sword Aura.

As Lin Bai used his movement technique to dodge the Sword Aura, Ye Suxin did not pursue him any further but instead headed straight for the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower.

Ye Suxin arrived at the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower anxious and eager, reaching out to snatch it up.

"Leave it!"

At that moment,

a thunderous roar filled the air.

Instantly, a Sword Aura that ruptured the void appeared above Ye Suxin’s head.

A chill surged down Ye Suxin’s body from head to toe, his body turning ice-cold as he looked up in astonishment at the terrifying Sword Aura of death and destruction above his head!

"Lin Bai, stop it!"

Hong Su cried out at that moment, her face filled with panic.

Hong Su could see that Lin Bai was intent on killing with that strike!

As Lin Bai’s sword came down, his expression was ruthless, but upon seeing Ye Suxin, Lin Bai’s heart softened, and he rapidly retracted seventy percent of the sword’s power!

Still, thirty percent of the power struck Ye Suxin.

With a thud!

Ye Suxin’s body was sent flying, slamming heavily against the stone wall of the Melting Cave.

He collapsed to the ground, spitting blood, his expression defeated.

"Suxin, are you alright?" Hong Su asked anxiously as she ran over to help him up.

At this moment, towering rage appeared on Hong Su’s face as she glared at Lin Bai with a hostile gaze.

Ye Suxin lay on the ground, eyes fixed on the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower: "I want the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, I want the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower... Senior Sister Hong Su, help me, please help me!"

His voice carried a hint of crying as he spoke to Hong Su.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of Ye Suxin’s eyes.

Her heart was full of grievances, yet no one could understand!

These tears, she would normally have swallowed alone.

But now, in front of Lin Bai, Ye Suxin could no longer keep these tears to herself!

Lin Bai stood beside the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, reaching out to pluck it.

Hearing Ye Suxin’s voice, Lin Bai looked up at her indifferently, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Lin Bai, give me the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower," Hong Su said coldly, her words still filled with rage!

At this moment, Hong Su no longer regarded Lin Bai as the weak Warrior she had met in Shenwu Kingdom.

Hong Su’s voice sounded as if she was facing an irreconcilable enemy.

Ice-cold, merciless!

Ye Suxin lay in Hong Su’s arms, her gaze fixed on the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower in Lin Bai’s hand!

Lin Bai fell silent.

For Lin Bai, the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower was extremely important as well.

100,000 points!

How many Demon Beasts must one kill to accumulate 100,000 points!

The value of the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower was immense.

Hong Su looked at Lin Bai, her expression cold and unfriendly as she said indifferently, "Lin Bai, give me the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower, or else you might not be able to leave this Melting Cave today!"

"Don’t doubt my strength. Although I do not kill, subduing you would be a piece of cake for me," Hong Su said coldly to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked at Hong Su indifferently, a strange smile playing on his lips as his eyes revealed a fighting spirit.

Hong Su suppressed the rage in her heart and said coldly, "Lin Bai, Ye Suxin needs this Slaying Core Fire Lotus Flower!"

"She needs the Slaying Core Fire Lotus Flower more than you do!"

Lin Bai was not the least bit concerned by Hong Su’s threat.

Although Lin Bai had never underestimated the strength of Hong Su, the Chief Disciple of the Sound Dao Academy, he also had his own reliances and trump cards. If it came down to a fight to the death, it wasn’t certain that he would lose to Hong Su.

But what Hong Su said—that she needed the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower more than he did—moved Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked at Ye Suxin and saw that her gaze had never shifted from the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower.

It was as if the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower was her heart, her life, something she simply couldn’t do without.

Lin Bai said lightly, "You need it?"

Finally, Ye Suxin looked up, meeting Lin Bai’s gaze.

Her eyes, which had stopped shedding tears, began to overflow once again upon looking at Lin Bai.

She nodded her head.

Lin Bai walked over and placed the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower in Ye Suxin’s hands.

Then Lin Bai was about to leave the place.

"Senior Sister Hong Su, I’m not giving you the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower because I’m afraid of you, nor because I fear your threats," Lin Bai said coldly. "If it really came down to a battle for our lives, it would likely lead to mutual destruction."

Having said that, Lin Bai then prepared to leave.

Hong Su could no longer repress her anger and called out sharply, "Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai stopped in his tracks.

Hong Su sneered, "Lin Bai, you better remember what I’m saying now. One day, you will realize how ridiculous and shameful your actions today are!"

"One day, you will regret what you did today with all your heart!"

"One day, you will suffer so much for what happened today that you’ll wish you were dead!" Hong Su said coldly.

"Heh, why?" Lin Bai let out a soft chuckle after hearing this, then asked.

As Hong Su helped Ye Suxin to walk out of the Melting Cave, she said to Lin Bai, "Because you are nothing but a beast!"

"I will be waiting!"

"I will be waiting for the day when you are in so much pain that you wish you were dead!" Hong Su said furiously.

After speaking, Hong Su and Ye Suxin quickly left the volcano.
