369: Chapter 368: If I can’t kill you within three swords, I lose!
Lin Bai’s resounding triumph – with two swords, he slew Sun Jie, solidifying the morale of the Shenwu Kingdom’s ranks.
The First Princess gently called out, “Lin Bai, come back.”
Upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s voice, Lin Bai turned around, ready to retreat behind the city wall.
“Enemy general, don’t you dare leave!
Wang Zhan of the Shengyue Sect is here to kill you.”
Just as Lin Bai was leaving, another young man suddenly sprang from the army of the Dayue Kingdom.
His face was filled with killing intent, his eyes resembled swords as he watched Lin Bai’s back and attacked with a devastating strike.
His punch came like a furious storm, carrying the force that could shatter the heavens.
“Attacking from the back, what a skill!”
Lin Bai suddenly countered with a powerful sword swing.
His Sword Qi collided with the punch, resulting in a violent explosion.
Missing the mark with his punch, Wang Zhan sneered, “Hmm, you’re indeed a bit skilled.
No wonder Junior Brother Sun Jie unexpectedly died at your hands.”
Lin Bai retorted with a cold laugh, “I’m full of skills, and this isn’t the only one.”
“Oh, really?
It seems like I have to experience them myself.” Wang Zhan coldly chuckled.
“With your cultivation at the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer, you’re still not my match.
I advise you not to court death.
Scram.”
“Damn it, how dare a martial artist in the sixth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm look down on me!” Wang Zhan was greatly angered by Lin Bai’s words.
A warrior in the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer, moreover, a core disciple of the Shengyue Sect, even in the Lingdong 700 States, could easily be deemed a prominent figure.
Yet, now, he had been looked down upon by Lin Bai, a warrior in the Heaven Martial Realm Sixth Layer.
Lin Bai chuckled coldly, “If you insist on having a fight, then come.
If I don’t kill you in three sword strikes, consider it my loss.”
The remark dumbfounded every warrior of the Shenwu Kingdom.
“What did prince consort say?
If he can’t kill this man within three sword strikes, he would consider himself defeated?”
“He is so domineering, I love it!”
“Go prince consort!”
Once again, the soldiers of the Shenwu Kingdom began to cheer excitedly.
Wang Zhan roared with laughter, “Hahaha, do you think you’re a warrior of the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer?
You want to kill me with just three sword strikes?
Let me tell you, even a warrior in the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.”
“Well, I want to see how you plan to kill me, come on!”
“Come!”
Wang Zhan activated his True Qi, making a full effort to maintain a defensive stance.
Lin Bai chuckled coldly, raising his sword and rushing forward.
An overwhelming torrent of Sword Intention surged all around him, as solid and enduring as a mountain.
A single stroke of the sword slashed downwards.
The Sword Qi tore through the Cloud Top, splitting mountains and rivers alike, and swept towards Wang Zhan.
“Sword Intention!”
“Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!”
Lin Bai shouted the commands at the same time.
The Sword Qi charged forward irresistibly, striking towards Wang Zhan.
“Such a trivial move, watch me break it with one punch.” Wang Zhan roared, as his True Qi surged within him, gathering with his punch into a solid thrust.
With a thud!
His powerful punch unleashed, striking hard against Lin Bai’s Sword Qi.
A startling scene unfolded.
Wang Zhan’s punch failed to break Lin Bai’s Sword Qi.
Instead, it was sliced apart like a watermelon by the Sword Qi, immediately disappearing, with Wang Zhan’s head being swiftly cleaved by the sword strike.
Wang Zhan’s horrified head, decapitated at the sword’s edge, flew more than thirty meters and fell heavily to the ground.
The whole scene fell into shock.
“One strike …”
“It took only one strike to slay Wang Zhan of the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer!”
“Prince Consort!
Prince Consort!
Prince Consort!” Chu Jiangliu, standing atop of the city wall, was too excited for words.
He slapped on the wall’s bricks, shouting out to Lin Bai with intense fervor and exhilaration.
With Chu Jiangliu chanting “Prince Consort!”, every soldier on the city wall, even within the Jia Yueguan, joined in unison “Prince Consort!”
“Prince Consort!
Prince Consort!”
“Prince Consort is invincible!”
“Prince Consort is so cool!
He is simply my idol.”
“Majestic, domineering, awesome, amazing, sky-shattering!”
The soldiers roared in high spirits.
Morale skyrocketed again and the First Princess’s eyes revealed a hint of excitement, as if the confident Bai Xiaoxiao had returned.
Ha~
Ji Bai and Ji Bei exchanged glances.
Both their faces were covered in surprise, but they soon started laughing heartily.
Lin Bai’s successful strike, killing a warrior of the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer, greatly terrified Ji Bai and Ji Bei.
However, they realized that the stronger Lin Bai was, the stronger the Sword Alliance would be.
Lin Bai kicked Wang Zhan’s corpse, throwing it into the ranks of the Dayue Kingdom’s army.
“I guess the Shengyue Sect wouldn’t let me go so easy.”
Lin Bai pointed his sword in the air towards Tuoba Feng.
Tuoba Feng was furious.
No one had ever dared to point a sword at him!
Seeing this, Chu Jiangliu exclaimed after a moment of incredulous shock, “It’s happening, it’s happening, it’s happening.”
“What’s happening?” asked a puzzled prince next to Chu Jiangliu.
“The Prince Consort is about to blow his top!
This guy is notoriously arrogant!” Chu Jiangliu said.
“Just listen to the words that the Prince Consort is going to say next.
I bet it will keep all of you awake for a few nights.”
“Even though I don’t know what he’s going to say yet, I know this guy never talks without shock value!”
Chu Jiangliu spoke excitedly.
Ever since the event at Chaoyang Palace, Chu Jiangliu had looked into Lin Bai.
The information he got was summed up in one word: arrogant!
In the Outer Sect Martial Arts Competition of Spirit Sword Sect, he challenged all the martial artists of the Outer Sect alone.
In the bloody battle at No Return Cliff, he challenged all the Earth Martial Realm disciples of Spirit Sword Sect alone again.
And in Chaoyang Palace, he once again single-handedly challenged the outstanding disciples from the Three Great Sects, and killed them all.
The First Princess was slightly surprised when she heard Chu Jiangliu’s words, and kept her eyes on Lin Bai.
Lin Bai held up his sword, pointed it at Tuoba Feng, and sneered, “I presume the Shengyue Sect wouldn’t let me go that easily.
So, whoever wants to challenge me, come forth.”
“If I can’t kill any of the challengers within three strikes of my sword, I lose!”
“If I lose, I’ll cut off my head right here and give it to you!” Lin Bai said in a cold voice.
Hiss!
Upon hearing this, both Ji Bei and Ji Bai were left in a stunned silence looking at Lin Bai.
If I can’t kill you within three sword strikes, I lose!
Just how arrogant could he be?!
Or should it be said that he was extremely confident?
The ones facing him were the core martial artists of the Shengyue Sect, each one of them an eminent genius known throughout the Dayue Kingdom.
And yet Lin Bai boldly claimed he would kill them within three sword strikes.
This was a direct and literal slap on their faces.
Not just on the faces of the Dayue Kingdom, but also a bruising on the face of the Shengyue Sect.
The prince standing next to Chu Jiangliu said in a daze, “Prince Chu, you were right.
I don’t think I can sleep for the coming months.”
“This is absurdly arrogant!”
“Prince Chu, how did you know the Prince Consort would do this?”
Chu Jiangliu cursed, “How the hell would I know?
And why wouldn’t I?
This is just his nature.
Once he gets his confidence, his arrogance knows no bounds.”
“This was the case in the Outer Sect Martial Arts Competition of the Spirit Sword Sect, and it was the same on the No Return Cliff.
He was also this way at Chaoyang Palace.”
” It’s in his nature!” Chu Jiangliu said, laughing in self-satisfaction.
“But, if he dares to do this, then it means he has absolute confidence,” Chu Jiangliu added.
The First Princess cried out anxiously, “Lin Bai!”
The First Princess was also stunned, thinking to herself: this is too reckless.
The Shengyue Sect brought nearly five to six hundred core martial artists, Lin Bai, you are being too impulsive.
Wu Jian sneered immediately, “Tch, he knows not his place.
If Zhao Liu makes a move, it would take only one shot to kill him.”
Fire Spirit said, “Exactly, what he is doing is simply courting death.”
On the other side.
Tuoba Feng stood up from his dragon throne, pointed angrily at Lin Bai, and roared, “Audacity!
Do you take the Dayue Kingdom to be without capable people?”
“Hear my command, anyone who kills this man will be rewarded 500,000 spirit stones and be bestowed the title of Households Marquis!”
Hiss!
All the disciples of the Shengyue Sect took in a sharp breath when they heard this.
500,000 Spirit Stones, not to mention it was a considerable wealth for a warrior of the Heaven Martial Realm.
But the most important thing was the title of Households Marquis.
Becoming a Marquis, this is something that many warriors dream of their entire lives.
Even Zhao Liu was shocked by this announcement, then his face showed extreme delight.
Being a Marquis meant having power, armies, status, glory, beauties, wealth.
Everything one could wish for could be obtained after becoming a Marquis!
Now this was a truly enticing temptation!
“Your Highness, rest assured.
I, Song Long, will deliver this man’s head to you.”
As soon as Tuoba Feng’s words fell, a martial artist leaped forth from the army formation to attack Lin Bai.
