“I must destroy you!”
At the moment, Lin Bai’s intention to overpower Longqing Feng was incredibly strong.
As long as he subdued Longqing Feng, Lin Bai could use the “Soul Searching” technique, checking in Longqing Feng’s memories to see what ties existed between Lin Duo and the Long Clan.
This might have been an essential clue for Lin Bai to find Lin Duo.
“Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!”
Lin Bai lashed out with his sword, the ten-thousand-foot sword Qi resonating across the sky and earth.
Seeing Lin Bai’s sword Qi sweeping toward them, the other warriors were all scared out of their wits.
They could sense an inkling of world-destroying aura within this power.
“Insignificant tricks!”
“Break for me!”
Longqing Feng sneered coldly, stepped forward with the Sword Step, and a wave of green mist rose.
With a sudden slashing of Longqing Feng’s sword, it shattered Lin Bai’s sword Qi directly.
“Now it’s my turn!”
After Longqing Feng shattered the sword Qi, he cracked a grim smile, stepped forward, and transformed into a Waning Shadow appearing right before Lin Bai!
“Damn it!”
Lin Bai was immediately shocked.
“Swords Skill!
One Sword Transforms into a Hundred!”
Seeing Longqing Feng approaching with boundless fierce power, his sword skill was like a furious dragon charging out to sea, a flying sword aimed at Lin Bai.
In a flash, Lin Bai immediately summoned his Flying Swords.
A wave of sword shadows emerged and struck upward.
Boom boom boom——
A deafening sound of intense collision ensued.
The tremendous force of impact exploded, covering hundreds of meters and sweeping across the mountains and rivers.
The area within a hundred meters radius was instantly leveled by this destructive force.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai was sent flying backwards, landing 500 meters away, coughing up fresh blood, his face as dark as water.
Longqing Feng was also pushed back several hundred meters by this force.
He landed on the ground, took three or four staggering steps backward, but he wasn’t as disheveled as Lin Bai.
“What sword skill is this of yours?
It actually possesses such power?”
Longqing Feng looked up at Lin Bai and asked solemnly.
In the previous clash, Longqing Feng nearly felt that Lin Bai was destined to die under his sword.
But at the last moment, hundreds of flying swords appeared out of nowhere, taking on Longqing Feng’s power.
Lin Bai stood up, stared coldly at Longqing Feng, and said, “Now you should worry about your life!
Don’t bother asking about my sword skill.”
Longqing Feng mocked, “Ridiculous.
Do you really think you have the capability to kill me?
Not to mention that you were slightly injured before you even began to fight me, even at your prime, you’d be of no use in front of me!”
“Today, I will defeat you!”
Longqing Feng said confidently with a smirk.
Longqing Feng felt confident of his victory in his heart.
Though Lin Bai had previously emerged victoriously through a sea of corpses, the sight of a severely injured Lin Bai did momentarily scare Longqing Feng.
But Longqing Feng also knew that Lin Bai must have consumed a significant amount of his True Qi from killing so many people.
Furthermore, because of his battle with Qin Beiao, even though he had won with all his strength, he had also been severely injured.
Thus, when Lin Bai fought against Longqing Feng, it was evident that his sword skill was gradually weakening.
Therefore, Longqing Feng had already anticipated that Lin Bai’s strength was significantly deteriorating.
He Qian and Bai Xiaoxiao also noticed this development.
He Qian said worriedly, “It seems like Lin Bai’s strength is waning!”
Bai Xiaoxiao solemnly said, “After so many fierce battles in the woods, his True Qi must have been severely depleted.
Now he has fought against Fang Ji and Qin Beiao, and consumed too much True Qi.”
“Now fighting against Longqing Feng, naturally there’s not much True Qi left in his body.”
“If he goes on like this, I estimate Lin Bai will be at a disadvantage!”
Bai Xiaoxiao took out the Treasure Sword, her face aloof as she stared at Longqing Feng.
If Lin Bai encountered any mishap, Bai Xiaoxiao would undoubtedly intervene and stake her life to protect him.
Lin Bai stood up, looked back at Bai Xiaoxiao, and said, “Xiaoxiao, give me your Treasure Sword.”
Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned, “Mine?”
“Yes.”
Lin Bai nodded.
Although Bai Xiaoxiao wasn’t sure what Lin Bai intended to do, she eventually threw her Treasure Sword to him.
“Catch the sword!”
Lin Bai reached out and tightly grabbed Bai Xiaoxiao’s Treasure Sword.
Holding two swords, Lin Bai felt the rolling power within them and a slight smile appeared on his face.
With a thought, the Flying Sword returned and danced around Lin Bai.
Three swords appeared simultaneously, pointing towards Longqing Feng.
On Guan Tian Peak, a group of warriors were puzzled by Lin Bai’s movement.
Jian Ruohan said coldly, “What does he want to do?”
Ye Suxin shook his head, “I don’t know!
But I do know, whatever he plans to do, he’s about to play his last card!”
Hong Su’s eyes narrowed, gazing deeply at Lin Bai.
Seeing Lin Bai taking Bai Xiaoxiao’s sword, Longqing Feng sneered, “What?
Do you think that with a woman’s sword, you can kill me?”
Lin Bai responded with a cold laugh, “What kills is never the sword, but the human heart!”
Hum——
At this point, Lin Bai’s murderous intent surged like a tidal wave.
Swish——
Suddenly, Lin Bai’s figure disappeared from Longqing Feng’s view.
A cold chill descended upon Longqing Feng, causing him to shudder and feel a hint of trepidation.
“Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon!”
Suddenly, Lin Bai charged towards him, slashing furiously with his four swords.
Four horrific Sword Qis charged at him.
Longqing Feng sneered, “Humph, how dare you show off such tricks in front of me!
You’re courting death!”
“Break!”
As Longqing Feng’s sword descended, the powerful force shattered Lin Bai’s four Sword Qis.
Simultaneously, Lin Bai charged up to Longqing Feng and aimed his sword at Feng’s shoulder.
Longqing Feng was taken aback and immediately raised his sword to block Lin Bai’s sword.
Longqing Feng scoffed, “I’ve long been familiar with your sword path.
You’ll never hurt me again!”
“Is that so?”
Lin Bai suddenly looked at Longqing Feng with a cold laugh.
Seeing Lin Bai’s cunning smile, a chill ran down Longqing Feng’s spine.
All of a sudden, Longqing Feng felt a wave of coldness.
He turned his head anxiously.
Lin Bai’s left-handed sword was furiously aiming at Longqing Feng’s throat.
An ominous shadow of death enveloped Longqing Feng instantly.
“Not good!”
With a shout, Longqing Feng used all his strength to circulate his True Qi to repel Lin Bai!
With a splashing sound—
Although Longqing Feng managed to retreat in time, Lin Bai’s sword still grazed his throat, splattering blood instantly.
“Flying Sword!”
“One Sword Transforms into a Hundred!”
The moment Longqing Feng retreated, the Flying Sword plumetted.
A fiercely tiger-like Sword Shadow pummeled down, resembling a ferocious Demon God with its gaping mouth wide open, ready to chew up Longqing Feng without leaving a single trace!
“What!”
Longqing Feng stared wide-eyed at the impending Sword Shadow in sheer terror.
Boom——
This torrential rain of swords beat down, forcing Longqing Feng to continuously retreat.
The terrifying Sword Aura had nearly ripped him to shreds, leaving him a bloody mess of a man, with not a single piece of skin intact!
