8: Chapter 8: Cold-blooded Sword Strike 8: Chapter 8: Cold-blooded Sword Strike Thunder God Fist, was a Mysterious Level One martial art, one level higher than Lin Bai’s Qixue Sword Skill.
Although Qixue Sword Skill was of Yellow Level Ninth Grade, and just one tier lower than Thunder God Fist, the gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth.
The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder descended, stirring up a tempest of thunder and wind.
Standing amid the thunderbolts, Qin Xiang looked as if he had transformed into the Thunder God.
“Thunder God Fist, it’s at least a Mysterious Level martial art.”
“Okay, since I arrived at Qingling Mountain Range, I haven’t had a serious fight yet.”
“He and I are both at the Martial Arts Sixth Level.
Today, I might as well go all out, give it my all and see if I’m still the ‘waste’ Lin Zi’er said I am!”
Lin Bai showed his fighting spirit as he stirred up his internal True Qi.
However, just as Lin Bai was energizing his True Qi, he found that he could not control his internal energy or mobilize it from his Dantian!
“What’s going on?” Lin Bai was shocked.
“Hahaha.” Seeing Lin Bai’s horrified expression, Qin Xiang burst into laughter: “Can’t you mobilize your True Qi?
I forgot to tell you, my greatest skill is not martial arts, but poisoning!”
“You’ve been poisoned by my Free and Unfettered Powder, draining you of your True Qi, and soon you will see illusions!”
“Despicable!” Lin Bai cursed through clenched teeth.
As Lin Bai moved forward and looked ahead, he found he was no longer in the Qingling Mountain Range.
Instead, he was back to when he was a child, back at the time when he was with his father.
“Daddy, what kind of sword skill are you practicing?” Lin Bai, still a child, asked with a babyish lisp.
His father, Lin Duo, looking very heroic, sheathed his sword and replied with a smile: “The sword skill your father is practicing is incredible.
At its zenith, it can split heaven and earth, chase stars and seize the moon.
It can slay the gods of Nine Heavens and the Flood Dragon in the deep sea!”
If daddy is so powerful, why would he stay in Lingxi City?” Little Lin Bai said, in disbelief.
Lin Duo laughed, “Isn’t it all for you?
I wanted you to have a peaceful childhood without having to involve yourself in the turmoil too early!”
“Alright, Lin Bai, watch the trajectory of your father’s sword closely.
It’s called ‘Dragon Slayer’!”
With Lin Duo stepping forward, a mysterious and profound sword skill unfolded before Lin Bai’s eyes.
Just then, a cheerful call from a girl sounded over the courtyard wall.
Lin Bai turned back to look, and when he saw the girl, the innocence in his eyes gradually turned into a burning rage.
He gritted his teeth and yelled: “Lin Zi’er!”
The illusion shattered!
At this moment, Tiehai Tang, who had separated his tongue from the cloth in his mouth, spat it out loudly towards Lin Bai and shouted, “Young warrior, be careful!”
“Hahaha, go to hell!” Qin Xiang roared, his fist imbued with the energy of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, as he sent a murderous blow.
Not only did he aim to kill Lin Bai with this punch, but he also intended to flatten the ground within a hundred meters, making the earth tremble under the wrath of the Thunder God!
Lin Bai woke up from the illusion in time.
His Qi and blood surged, entirely devouring the poison in his blood.
True Qi surged out of Lin Bai’s Dantian like a raging dragon.
True Qi left his body, unstoppable!
“Cold-blooded Sword Strike!”
The fourth move of the Qixue Sword Skill.
At the moment when Qin Xiang’s unstoppable Thunder God Fist fell, Lin Bai glared and counter-struck with a sword thrust upward!
The two clashed in mid-air!
Lin Bai was punched by Qin Xiang and flew ten meters away, broke a tree in half with his waist, spat out blood, and fell pale on the ground.
But when Qin Xiang landed, he showed a surprised look.
He lowered his head and saw his chest.
Just now, Lin Bai’s sword directly shattered his heart.
At this moment, there was a blood hole the size of a fist in his heart, from which blood gushed out.
Before Qin Xiang’s death, he uttered these words in utter astonishment.
He used the Free and Unfettered Powder, confused Lin Bai’s mind, let Lin Bai enter a hallucination, plus the Thunder God Fist of Mysterious Level One, a double abnormal attack.
Against all this, Lin Bai unexpectedly turned the tables!
“Damn, nearly capsizing in the gutter!” Lin Bai shook his head, his heart still pounding as he stood up from the ground.
Qin Xiang’s body fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
Lin Bai glanced at Qin Xiang’s corpse, walked over to Tiehai Tang, her body’s toxins were not yet resolved.
Lin Bai put his hand on her neck, stimulated her internal blood force, and removed all the toxins from the blood.
“You should be fine now.” Lin Bai asked with a smile after doing all this.
Tiehai Tang was amazed to find that the Huanhuan Powder, which could last a whole day, was neutralized in the moment the young man in front of her applied a light touch.
Tiehai Tang got up from the ground, bowed her fist in thanks, and said, “Thank you for your efforts to save me, otherwise, I would have been killed by this villain today.”
“No need to thank me, I just couldn’t bear to see him use such a lowly method to deal with a woman.” Lin Bai shook his head and said, “Since you are fine now, you should leave quickly.”
“We will meet again when destiny deems it necessary.”
Lin Bai smiled and prepared to leave.
“Young man, please leave your name, I, Tiehai Tang, will definitely repay you in the future.” Tiehai Tang called out unwillingly.
Lin Bai smiled, “My name is Lin Bai!
Miss, see you again if destiny allows!”
“Lin Bai…” Tiehai Tang looked at Lin Bai’s retreating figure.
Her calm gaze towards Lin Bai had begun to change.
Such a simple and unremarkable name, like a sharp and unparalleled Treasure Sword, was hidden in the heart of this ordinary-looking young man, embodying a chivalrous spirit.
At this time, when everything was based on deception and benefits, the so-called righteousness was discarded and all the warriors were only interested in gaining benefits.
Warriors like Lin Bai, who could save an unknown stranger without asking for something in return, were becoming a rarity.
Looking at Lin Bai’s retreating figure, Tiehai Tang seemed to have fallen a bit.
Tiehai Tang was strong-willed and unyielding, but she just wanted to find a man stronger than her to be her husband!
It seemed that this man had appeared.
With her adoring eyes, Lin Bai took a dozen steps away, then turned and ran back quickly.
“Lin Bai.” Tiehai Tang exclaimed in surprise.
“Miss, I want to ask you, do you know how to get into the Demon Slaying Alliance?” Lin Bai asked with a smile.
The Lin Bai who was about to leave just took a few steps before realizing that he didn’t know where the Demon Slaying Alliance was.
That’s why he turned back to ask Tiehai Tang.
Tiehai Tang asked curiously, “What do you want to do at the Demon Slaying Alliance?”
Lin Bai smiled and said, “I heard that there is a detailed map of Qingling Mountain Range in the Demon Slaying Alliance.
It marks which mountain is dangerous, which mountain has demon beasts, and the grade of the demon beasts.
I want to go to the Demon Slaying Alliance to get a copy of this map.”
“Do you know where the Demon Slaying Alliance is?” Lin Bai continued to ask.
Tiehai Tang replied proudly, “Of course I know, because I am the daughter of the Alliance Leader of the Demon Slaying Alliance!”
