40: Chapter 40: Divine Alliance Warrior!
“Who dares to commit murder within the Spirit Sword Sect?
Are you courting death?”
A loud roar, like a thunderbolt on a clear day, echoed for miles.
A figure rapidly approached on the ground and punched Lin Bai’s sword hilt, striking Lin Bai and sending him flying backwards.
When the punch landed, several of Lin Bai’s rib bones were abruptly snapped.
“Such incredible power!”
“True Martial Realm!”
Having taken a punch, Lin Bai immediately realized that this man was undoubtedly a True Martial Realm warrior.
Looking up, he saw an impressive young man in a purple robe, standing in front of Xu Shangjie, protecting him with his back, his ice-cold gaze was fixed on Lin Bai.
Upon seeing this young man’s arrival, Xu Shangjie exclaimed jubilantly, “Senior Brother Xiang Tianyi, quickly punish this evil doer who has just joined the Spirit Sword Sect and is ignoring the sect’s rules, committing slaughter within the Sect!”
“If we don’t strictly punish him, how can the Spirit Sword Sect maintain its authority?”
Xu Shangjie craftily uttered these words.
“He’s Xiang Tianyi!” Qi Shaolong exclaimed.
Lin Bai scowled at Xiang Tianyi, saying nothing.
“Who is Xiang Tianyi?” Lin Bai asked Qi Shaolong.
“Xiang Tianyi is one of the top ten genius disciples of the Outer Sect, whose Cultivation has already reached the True Martial Ninth Level and is about to step into the Xuanwu Realm.”
“Also, he is a warrior heavily nurtured by the Divine Alliance!”
Qi Shaolong briefly introduced him to Lin Bai.
“So, he is at the True Martial Ninth Level, no wonder he is so powerful.” Lin Bai coughed lightly, and coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood.
Qi Shaolong helped Lin Bai to his feet.
“Young Master Xu, don’t be afraid.
As long as I am here today, he won’t survive.” Xiang Tianyi smiled at Xu Shangjie.
Upon hearing these words, Qi Shaolong and Lin Bai’s hearts sank.
These two knew each other.
“Heh, it’s no wonder his punch just now was intended to kill me.” Lin Bai snorted coldly in his heart.
“Both of you, cripple your own Cultivation, kneel in front of Young Master Xu, and I may spare you a full corpse!”
Xiang Tianyi gave the order to Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong.
“Senior Brother Xiang Tianyi, you haven’t grasped the situation yet.
Why are you ordering us to cripple our own Cultivation?
They came to provoke us first, trying to kill us.
We only fought back!”
Qi Shaolong stared at Xiang Tianyi and said.
“I don’t care about that.
Anyway, I need you to cripple your own Cultivation and kneel down to apologize.
Otherwise, I won’t leave you any room to fight back when I make my move!”
A look of arrogance appeared on Xiang Tianyi’s face.
“So, are all the warriors of the Divine Alliance so unreasonable?” Qi Shaolong roared in anger.
“Indeed, what we, the Divine Alliance Warriors, say is the truth and rules!”
Xiang Tianyi roared angrily, and an immense force pressed down on the shoulders of Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong, trying to force them to kneel.
Xiang Tianyi was being unreasonable and clearly wanted to kill Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong.
Infuriated, Lin Bai lifted his arms, they glowed golden, and he punched out.
“You dare to show off your petty skills before me?”
Xiang Tianyi let out a cold snort, casually threw a punch that annihilated Lin Bai’s attack.
Then he landed another heavy punch on Lin Bai’s chest, almost killing Lin Bai with a single punch.
“Not dead?” Xiang Tianyi saw Lin Bai still breathing and was somewhat surprised.
“Then have another punch!”
Xiang Tianyi once again aimed a punch to exterminate.
“Lin Bai!” Qi Shaolong exclaimed.
“Brother Lin Bai!” Tie Dan also exclaimed.
They knew, once this punch lands, Lin Bai would undoubtedly die!
“Am I really supposed to die?”
For the first time, Lin Bai felt the terror of death.
“No, I would not falter!”
Lin Bai was filled with unwillingness.
“Xiang Tianyi, you have overstepped!”
At this point, an authoritative voice descended from the sky, and a powerful force propelled Xiang Tianyi away.
“Who dares to stop me!” Xiang Tianyi angrily roared at his surroundings.
At this point, a middle-aged man, clad in black, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Bai.
Xiang Tianyi looked at the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared and gasped.
“Elder Ji Bei, this is a matter of our Divine Alliance.
Please refrain from interfering, lest the Young Sect Master becomes displeased.”
Xiang Tianyi was also aware of Ji Bei’s profound martial arts cultivation.
Knowing that he was not a match, he immediately resorted to invoking the Young Sect Master’s name.
“Xiang Tianyi, enough is enough, stop making trouble,” Ji Bei spoke peacefully.
“Elder Ji Bei, are you genuinely intending to protect this lad?”
“Elder Ji Bei, think carefully.
Is it worth inciting the wrath of our Divine Alliance for the sake of a warrior who barely qualifies as an outer sect disciple?”
Xiang Tianyi coldly said.
“For a life-and-death martial arts competition held among peers, I naturally wouldn’t interfere.”
“But you, with your True Martial Ninth Level of Cultivation, tried to slaughter a newcomer of the Martial Arts Ninth Level — if this were to spread, it could harm the reputation of the Spirit Sword Sect.”
“I simply can’t ignore this.”
“If Lin Bai’s Cultivation reached the True Martial Ninth Level now, then whoever lives and whoever dies between you two would be none of my business,” Ji Bei coldly said.
Xiang Tianyi burst into laughter: “By the time this waste has reached the True Martial Ninth Level, who knows when that would be.”
“Within ten years, he can’t possibly attain my level!”
“He won’t need ten years, three months will suffice.”
Upon hearing Xiang Tianyi’s comment, Lin Bai’s voice was cold.
Xiang Tianyi retorted angrily: “What did you say!”
Lin Bai continued frostily: “In three months, I will surely kill you!”
“Three months, hahaha, you mean, in three months you are intending to break through from the Martial Arts Ninth Level to the True Martial Ninth Level, and then come to kill me, an unparalleled warrior who is among the ten geniuses of the outer sect?”
It sounded to Xiang Tianyi like the biggest joke, and he burst out laughing.
“Yes!” Lin Bai spoke firmly.
Xiang Tianyi said, laughing madly.
“Whether it’s a lunatic’s dream or not, we will see in three months,” Lin Bai said coldly.
“Alright, I’m giving you three months to find a suitable grave,”, Xiang Tianyi said gritting his teeth.
“In three months, on the Sect’s Life and Death platform, let’s have a life-and-death duel there.
Are you brave enough?”
Xiang Tianyi, staring at Lin Bai, asked coldly.
I will find a good grave in these three months.
But, it will be for you!” Lin Bai, staring at Xiang Tianyi, replied coldly.
“Three months later, on the Sect’s Life and Death platform, I will use my bare hands to shatter your weak little body!”
Xiang Tianyi smirked fiercely at Lin Bai.
Xiang Tianyi laughed wildly and left with a group of people.
Ji Bei looked back at Lin Bai and said, “Bear with it.”
That one word, bear with it, was Ji Bei’s advice to Lin Bai.
“Elder, I practice martial arts to achieve freedom and longevity.
But if people are shitting and pissing all over me, and I stay unfazed, then what am I cultivating for?
What kind of goddamn path am I walking on!”
Lin Bai exclaimed, his face burning with anger.
Ji Bei sighed at Lin Bai’s impulsiveness, left a medicine bottle behind, and departed: “There are excellent healing pills in this bottle.
Take them properly and don’t delay the trials happening seven days from now.”
“Thanks a lot, Elder,” Lin Bai expressed his gratitude.
