Defeating Qi Sheng

Chapter 11: Defeating Qi Sheng

Tie Haitang glanced at Tie Feng.

Tie Feng helplessly shook his head and said, "Since you want to fight, then go ahead, but remember we're all Demon Slayer Alliance martial artists. Keep it to a friendly spar; stop when appropriate."

"A spar? Brother Qi Sheng is going to fight that kid?"

"What's there to fight? Brother Qi Sheng could crush him with a finger!"

"Exactly! Brother Qi Sheng has already mastered a Profound Grade, Rank Two martial skill. How could he possibly be Qi Sheng's opponent?"

Martial skill cultivation is divided into four realms: Entry, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, and Grand Perfection.

For Qi Sheng, at his age of just over twenty, to have cultivated a Profound Grade martial skill to the level of Major Accomplishment was quite remarkable.

"Kid, prepare to die!" Qi Sheng said to Lin Bai menacingly.

The Demon Slayer Alliance martial artists all cleared a large circle for the two of them. Qi Sheng was the first to step into the circle.

Tie Haitang came to Lin Bai's side and reminded him, "Be careful. Qi Sheng has a martial skill called 'Heavenly Dragon Roar' that he has already cultivated to the level of Major Accomplishment. If you can't win, concede as soon as possible."

Qi Sheng sneered, "Haitang, you don't need to remind him. I don't even need to use Heavenly Dragon Roar to defeat him."

"I understand," Lin Bai smiled slightly and stepped into the arena with composure.

"It's starting!"

"Brother Qi Sheng, you are invincible! Beat him to death!"

"That damn kid hasn't even grown all his hair yet, and he dares to fight Brother Qi Sheng? He's simply courting death."

With both sides in position, the Demon Slayer Alliance martial artists all supported Qi Sheng, confident in his strength.

Lin Bai, on the other hand, was new and looked weak and frail. Standing before the robust Qi Sheng, he seemed destined to lose, naturally garnering no support.

"I'll give you a chance. Draw your sword, or when I attack, you won't even have the opportunity to draw it," Qi Sheng said disdainfully, noticing the sword in Lin Bai's hand.

Lin Bai smiled dismissively, "No need. If I draw my sword, you'll lose."

"Damn kid, you'll pay for those words!" Qi Sheng was enraged by Lin Bai's contempt.

He charged forward, unleashing his full momentum, sweeping across the arena like a storm.

"He's using a killing move right from the start? Brother Qi Sheng is really angry!" one of the martial artists observed, sensing the change in Qi Sheng's aura.

Tie Haitang looked at Lin Bai with worry, her face filled with concern.

"Hmm?" Tie Feng looked at his daughter in surprise. Tie Haitang was unusually quiet today, not at all like the domineering flower she usually was.

What surprised Tie Feng the most was that Tie Haitang's gaze towards Lin Bai was full of worry.

"Hehe."

He glanced at Tie Haitang, then at Lin Bai, and Tie Feng smiled with a flushed face, thinking to himself, It seems my daughter's marriage is settled again! Hahaha.

"Charging Bull Force!"

Moo!

A low roar echoed as Qi Sheng charged forward, transforming into a raging bull, determined to smash Lin Bai into pieces!

Sand and dust swirled, filling the sky!

Bang! Lin Bai stood his ground, not dodging, allowing Qi Sheng to charge at him. The instant he was in front of him, Lin Bai threw a punch with a ferocious expression!

Pfft—

The punch landed, colliding with the Charging Bull Force, creating a powerful gust of wind.

"How is this possible?" Qi Sheng was sent flying by Lin Bai's punch, spitting out blood, and said with a look of astonishment.

Lin Bai smiled triumphantly, "Your Charging Bull Force is too weak! Do you have any stronger martial skills? If not, I'll draw my sword, and you won't have a chance to use them!"

"Kid, don't get cocky!"

"Watch this, Mountain-Quelling Dragon Fist!"

Qi Sheng roared, and scarlet-yellow true energy rose from the ground, gathering on his fists!

Ha! Qi Sheng shouted, and his fists came rushing forward.

"This martial skill isn't bad, but you dare to show it off before you've mastered it!" Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, his killing intent revealed.

Bang!

With a punch, Qi Sheng was sent flying again by Lin Bai, landing ten meters away, covered in dirt and looking disheveled.

"Ah!"

The mouths of the surrounding martial artists dropped open in shock!

Two moves in a row, and Qi Sheng was completely defeated in both!

"Hehe." Tie Haitang smiled happily, her smile like a flower.

Tie Feng was also deeply curious about Lin Bai. How could a young man who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old have such profound Martial Dao cultivation?

"Brother Qi Sheng is actually going to lose!"

"Heavens, what's that kid's background? Even Brother Qi Sheng isn't his match!"

"Looks like in the Martial Dao world, just because you think you're strong doesn't mean there isn't someone stronger. Today has been an eye-opener."

The martial artists all looked at Lin Bai with awe.

"Damn it!" Qi Sheng's face flushed crimson with rage.

Whoosh—

Just as Qi Sheng roared, the surrounding spiritual energy uncontrollably rushed into his mouth!

"That move is..."

"Heavenly Dragon Roar!"

"Get out of the way!"

Tie Haitang warned Lin Bai.

A shadow of death enveloped Lin Bai.

Qi Sheng accumulated a massive amount of spiritual energy in his mouth, converting it into power, and finally unleashing it as a huge beam of light that shot straight towards Lin Bai.

"Go to hell!"

Qi Sheng roared.

"It's over, that kid is dead for sure!"

"No one can survive Brother Qi Sheng's attack! Even a Martial Dao seventh level Demon Beast would die without a doubt!"

Tie Feng's eyes flashed with displeasure. Before the match, he had reminded them to keep it to a friendly spar, but Qi Sheng's move was clearly intended to kill Lin Bai.

"Lin Bai, be careful, that's a Profound Grade martial skill!" Tie Haitang warned.

Bang!

The massive white beam of light stirred up a storm, carving a long trench in the ground as it struck Lin Bai.

"Child's play!"

"One Sword Bloodspray!"

Zheng!

The Spirit Severing Sword was resolutely drawn.

A streak of blood-red sword light descended from the sky, splitting the incoming beam of light in two.

Immediately afterward, Lin Bai advanced, the tip of his sword aimed directly at Qi Sheng's throat!

Buzz!

The sword tip stopped just before Qi Sheng's throat, the sword's hum still ringing in the air.

"You've lost!" Lin Bai said with a cold expression.

Qi Sheng's eyes widened, staring at Lin Bai in disbelief, his eyes trembling with fear.

Qi Sheng knew that if Lin Bai had wanted to kill him just now, that sword would have pierced his throat!

"I told you, the moment I draw my sword, you lose."

Lin Bai sheathed his sword and walked towards Tie Feng, stating bluntly, "Alliance Master, I joined the Demon Slayer Alliance, and naturally, I will work for it. Please allow me to see the map of the Azure Spirit Mountain Range so I can go out and hunt Demon Beasts!"

Tie Feng nodded, "No need to rush. Haitang, take Lin Bai to find a place to stay and settle down first. The map is in the Life and Death Cave. You can go see it whenever you want."

"Thank you," Lin Bai said.

Tie Haitang said, "Come with me, Lin Bai."

Tie Haitang and Lin Bai left together.

Qi Sheng was helped up by the surrounding martial artists, glaring at Lin Bai's back with gritted teeth, "If I don't avenge this, I, Qi Sheng, am not worthy of being a man!"
