Southern Chu Dynasty, somewhere in a barren mountain!
Lin Bai lay on the ground, covered in blood. The meridians and bones throughout his body had all been shattered, his expression dispirited and his face pale, while his pupils stared fixedly at the five black shadows approaching from ahead.
These five were Dong Qian, the Guardian Supreme of the Holy Seal Sect, and Ye Jianjun, the Sword Paragon of the Reaching Heaven Sword Sect!
The other three were respectively peak experts from the Burning Heart Sect, an unrivaled old monster from the Celestial Net Sect, and a cold Blade Cultivator from the Heavenly Blade Sect!
"Dongfang Bai, your talent is extraordinary, and your swordsmanship is unmatched, but your spiritual energy is too abundant, and you never learned to conceal your brilliance. Falling into this state today is your own doing!"
The bald man from the Burning Heart Sect spoke coldly.
"Cough, cough!" Lin Bai coughed violently twice, then looked at the five people before him and said, "My heart meridian has already been shattered. I'll die within three hours at most. Now, can you tell me... who exactly are you?"
Although Lin Bai had recognized Ye Jianjun and Dong Qian, he did not know any of the other three. With death approaching, Lin Bai asked coldly.
"Heh heh, once you go down to hell, you'll have plenty of time to ask King Yama." The gloomy Black-Robed Man from the Celestial Net Sect spoke coldly. He immediately raised his hand and slammed his palm down toward the top of Lin Bai's head.
The palm strike possessed boundless might. If it landed solidly, Lin Bai's head would surely be smashed into pieces in an instant!
Lin Bai let out a soft sigh as he lay on the ground. He offered no further resistance.
