Chapter 2025: Chapter 2022: Suling Shan
“Kill him! Let him know the consequences of opposing our Huang Family Four Brothers!”
The Huang Family Four Brothers sneered, flashing out from four directions, simultaneously surrounding Lin Bai.
These four brothers, having worked together for years, cooperated with extreme tacit understanding. Even though each of them only had the First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, when combined, their power doubled!
“Single-Stroke Sword Skill!”
Lin Bai’s sword blade swung, sending a spray of sword light slashing forward.
“Humph! Die!” Just as Lin Bai’s sword was about to strike, a cold snort echoed from behind him.
Lin Bai turned sharply, seeing Huang Family Third Brother charging with a sinister smile, his terrifying palm already descending on Lin Bai’s back.
Lin Bai’s eyes flashed fiercely, his Demonic Sword humming as he turned and launched a sword strike, forcing Huang Family Third Brother to retreat.
“Lin Bai, come meet your end!”
Just as he repelled Huang Family Third Brother, two others attacked simultaneously from Lin Bai’s left and right!
Lin Bai struggled to block the attack from the left, but the right attack sent him flying over a hundred meters away!
“Senior Brother Lin Bai…”
Seeing Lin Bai thrown into the air, Suling Su exclaimed in shock.
Suling Shan’s eyes widened as he said to Jiang Heng, “Senior Brother Jiang Heng, what should we do now? Are we just going to watch?”
Jiang Heng’s face darkened as he said, “This is a fight among the Inner Gate disciples. We better not get involved. Besides, the Huang Family Four Brothers are notorious on Evil Dragon Island for holding grudges. Once they target someone, they are as good as dead!”
Suling Shan exclaimed in surprise, “Are all Inner Gate disciples this strong?”
Suling Su stood silently to the side, gripping her Treasure Sword tightly as a strand of fervor began to permeate from within her.
“Humph, Lin Bai, don’t underestimate us. Although our reputation isn’t great, our strength is undeniable!”
“Not so long ago, we teamed up to kill an Outer Sect disciple at the Third Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!”
“Is this all the so-called Tianjiao of this year has to offer?”
“…”
Having sent Lin Bai flying, the Huang Family Four Brothers began mocking him.
“Lin Bai, let me end your short life!” Huang Family Third Brother sneered, his palm heading straight for Lin Bai’s face.
But suddenly, a flash of sword light intervened, sending Huang Family Third Brother flying.
At this moment, a graceful woman appeared in front of Lin Bai.
“Who?”
Huang Family Third Brother roared, infuriated as his lethal strike was interrupted!
Lin Bai raised his head slightly, recognizing the woman before him as Suling Su!
Suling Su said coldly, “I don’t care about the grudges between you four and Lin Bai, but Lin Bai is now a member of my team. If you plan to kill him in my presence, I will not sit idly by!”
Huang Family First Brother sneered, “Oh, a beauty, I see!”
Huang Family Second Brother grinned, “Truly a beauty!”
Huang Family Third Brother chuckled, “Originally, I planned to deal with Lin Bai first and enjoy you later, but you delivered yourself. Don’t blame us for being rude!”
Huang Family Fourth Brother said, “Third Brother, Lin Bai is yours, the beauty is ours!”
Huang Family Third Brother snickered, “Fine, I’ll kill Lin Bai first!”
The Huang Family Four Brothers, initially surprised by Suling Su’s intervention, soon dismissed her.
In their eyes, Lin Bai was already doomed to die today, and a mere Suling Su couldn’t change that. Even if Jiang Heng joined the fight, the Huang Family Four Brothers were confident they could kill them all!
“Sister!”
Suling Shan exclaimed, looking at Suling Su, and shouted to Jiang Heng, “Senior Brother Jiang Heng, hurry and save my sister!”
Seeing Suling Su step forward to rescue Lin Bai, Jiang Heng’s face darkened, and he froze, making no move to intervene!
“Senior Brother Jiang Heng…”
Suling Shan called anxiously.
Jiang Heng remained silent, not stepping forward!
Suling Shan looked at Jiang Heng incredulously, saying, “Senior Brother Jiang Heng, aren’t you a warrior of the Life-and-Death Realm? Didn’t you say you like my sister? Now my sister’s life is hanging by a thread. Why aren’t you helping!”
Jiang Heng looked at Suling Shan, sighed softly, and said, “Lingshan, today’s matter is a foregone conclusion!”
“Whether or not I intervene won’t change Lin Bai’s fate of dying, and as for your sister…”
“Forget it, I can’t afford to provoke Inner Gate disciples.”
Jiang Heng shook his head slightly.
Hearing Jiang Heng’s words, Suling Shan’s world shattered, disbelief coloring his voice as he said, “Senior Brother Jiang Heng, you’re so cowardly and afraid to die, you… you’re not worthy of liking my sister!”
“You’re not worthy of being a strong one!”
Suling Shan angrily shouted at Jiang Heng.
After speaking, Suling Shan drew his Treasure Sword and darted out swiftly, “Sister, I’m coming to help you!”
Suling Su, upon seeing this, was filled with panic, “Lingshan, don’t come!”
Huang Family First Brother turned to see Suling Shan charging in, and laughed, “An ant of the Yangshen Realm dares to rush to their death?”
“Humph!”
Huang Family First Brother snorted coldly, turning to deliver a palm strike aiming straight for Suling Shan’s face.
“Lingshan!”
Suling Su called out in distress.
Facing the attack from a Life-and-Death Realm warrior, Suling Shan’s face turned deathly pale, realizing the gap between him and the Life-and-Death Realm, feeling the shadow of death encroaching.
Suling Shan’s face whitened, his body drenched in cold sweat.
As Huang Family First Brother’s palm drew closer, he felt himself nearing death!
“Humph, die.” Huang Family First Brother sneered condescendingly.
Bang!
Just before this palm struck Suling Shan!
Suddenly, a shadow, as if traversing the void, appeared in front of Suling Shan and took the blow!
Suling Shan, who had thought he would die by Huang Family First Brother’s hand, looked up to see a majestic male figure shielding him.
This figure was familiar to Suling Shan!
He is… Lin Bai!
After blocking the attack, Lin Bai turned slightly, glanced at Suling Shan, and smiled, “Your reckless charge to save your sister shows a bit of bravery, perhaps even a spark of a strong one’s spirit!”
“Lin Bai… Senior Brother…” Suling Shan stared wide-eyed at Lin Bai!
Lin Bai said calmly, “Suling Shan, remember, the so-called Sword Art isn’t limited to sword techniques or moves, nor is it confined to cultivating the Heaven and Earth Realm!”
“In my view, Sword Art comprehension can be divided into four states!”
“With Sword, No Sword, Heart Follows Sword, Sword Follows Heart!”
“This is my understanding of Sword Art!”
Lin Bai spoke to Suling Shan with calm.
Suling Shan’s eyes were puzzled, yet his heart felt as if these words opened a gateway!
