Killing Qin Xiangtian

# Chapter 17: Killing Qin Xiangtian

"Thunder God's Annihilation!"

Thousands of lightning bolts danced across Qin Xiangtian's body, each one seeming to possess the power to destroy the heavens and earth!

Qin Xiangtian thrust a palm forward with tremendous force, and the roaring lightning struck Lin Bai's chest, instantly causing him to cough up blood.

"Hahaha, you little whelp, let's see you act so wildly now!" Qin Xiangtian, emboldened by striking Lin Bai, pressed his advantage, unleashing torrents of lightning from his body like divine thunder.

Lin Bai's face was grim as he dodged and weaved through the falling lightning.

"Die! Die!"

Qin Xiangtian roared with a twisted grin.

"Who lives and who dies is still unknown!" After dodging another bolt of lightning, Lin Bai suddenly shot forward, a blood-colored light coalescing around him, making him seem like an unstoppable blood-colored sword!

"Cold-Blooded Strike!"

Whoosh—

A single sword strike pierced through, shattering all the lightning power around Qin Xiangtian. The sword's trajectory shifted, and Lin Bai severed Qin Xiangtian's left arm!

"Ah!" Qin Xiangtian screamed in agony, clutching the stump where his left arm had been.

Buzz!

"You bastard, I'll kill you!"

Qin Xiangtian roared in fury, and as he tried to scramble to his feet to fight Lin Bai to the death, a humming sword instantly appeared at Qin Xiangtian's throat.

"What!" Qin Xiangtian was incredulous. Could there really be such a fast sword in this world?

Following the silver-white tip of the sword, past the cold blade, Qin Xiangtian saw an even colder pair of eyes!

"I'm giving you one last chance. Where are Tie Haitang and Tie Feng?" Lin Bai asked coldly.

"Don't kill me, please don't kill me," Qin Xiangtian pleaded, terrified.

"Stop!"

Just then, Scholar Li dragged Tie Feng, who was already heavily injured, out of the cave, holding a sword to Tie Feng's neck, and shouted at Lin Bai, "If you dare hurt our alliance leader, I'll kill Tie Feng!"

"Alliance Leader Tie Feng, are you alright?" Lin Bai asked worriedly.

Tie Feng quickly replied, "I'm fine, just some minor injuries. Lin Bai, hurry and save Haitang. She was captured by Qin Xiangtian's wife and taken to Thunder Swamp."

"What?" Lin Bai exclaimed in shock.

What kind of place was Thunder Swamp?

Thunder Swamp was the most dangerous place in the Azure Spirit Mountain Range, constantly filled with dense lightning. Any martial artist who entered would surely die!

Scholar Li said, "Release our alliance leader now, or I'll kill Tie Feng."

Qin Xiangtian also chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, quickly release me, or Scholar Li will definitely kill Tie Feng. Release me, and I guarantee you and Tie Feng will be safe and sound!"

"Hmph." Lin Bai's sword pierced Qin Xiangtian's throat.

The alliance leader of the Soaring Heavens Alliance, who had dominated the Azure Spirit Mountain Range for many years, died at Lin Bai's hands.

Scholar Li stared at Lin Bai in utter shock. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill Tie Feng?"

"Do you dare?" Lin Bai glared at Scholar Li, questioning.

"I…" Scholar Li was furious, but he didn't dare to lower his sword and kill Tie Feng.

"Look at this Demon Slayer Alliance canyon. How many of your Soaring Heavens Alliance martial artists have I killed? Now your alliance leader has died at my hands. Do you think you can escape?" Lin Bai sneered.

"Your life is in my hands now."

"Release Tie Feng, and I'll let you go!"

Lin Bai said to Scholar Li.

Scholar Li asked, "Why should I trust you?"

Lin Bai smiled. "Do you have any other choice but to trust me?"

"The choice is simple. You kill Tie Feng, and then I kill you. I've already killed so many people; I don't mind adding one more."

"Or, you release Tie Feng, and I let you go. Even if I go back on my word, you still have a fifty percent chance of escaping."

"The first choice is a guaranteed dead end!"

Lin Bai said with a smile.

Scholar Li's eyes darted around as he looked at Lin Bai. "Good kid, you're quite the character. Qin Xiangtian didn't die unjustly in your hands! We'll meet again someday!"

Scholar Li abruptly shoved Qin Xiangtian towards Lin Bai.

Then, he turned and quickly fled into the forest.

"Trying to escape!" Lin Bai instantly stepped forward and gave chase.

The moment Scholar Li turned to leave, Lin Bai's sword caught up to him!

The sword pierced through Scholar Li's head from behind.

"So, you really were going to kill me! I hate this!" Scholar Li fell to the ground, dead and filled with regret.

"Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to yourself. After living in this world for so many years, haven't you learned that yet?" Lin Bai said with a sneer.

"Lin Bai, hurry and save Haitang."

Tie Feng reminded him at this moment.

"Okay, I'm going to Thunder Swamp now!"

After helping Tie Feng dispel the poison, Lin Bai headed towards Thunder Swamp without stopping.

Since Lin Bai had been very interested in Thunder Swamp before, he knew the way there.

Slap!

Zhao Rong slapped Tie Haitang in the face and asked fiercely, "Bitch, tell me where Lin Bai is!"

"He's gone!" Tie Haitang's face was swollen from Zhao Rong's beating.

Zhao Rong grabbed Tie Haitang's hair and dragged her towards Thunder Swamp, "Hmph, still stubborn, wait until we get to Thunder Swamp, under the heavenly thunder, let's see if you dare to be so stubborn!"

Slap!

Zhao Rong slapped her again.

"Will you talk or not!"

"He's gone and won't be back," Tie Haitang said, her eyes filled with despair, without any desire to live.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

Along the way, Zhao Rong slapped Tie Haitang's face countless times.

Crack! Crack!

Rumble! Rumble!

Ahead, dark clouds covered the sky, and heavenly thunder struck the swamp from the clouds, evaporating the water and forming steam that filled the air.

Zhao Rong summoned an iron chain, wrapped it around Tie Haitang's waist, and threw her into Thunder Swamp.

Crack!

A bolt of divine thunder immediately struck Tie Haitang's body.

A shrill scream came from Tie Haitang.

"Bitch, as long as you tell me where Lin Bai is, I'll let you out!" Zhao Rong coldly pressed.

"I told you, he's gone and will never return to the Azure Spirit Mountain Range. Just kill me. Killing me would be revenge for your son!"

"Don't go looking for Lin Bai anymore."

Tie Haitang said as she was tied up and thrown into Thunder Swamp.

Zhao Rong sneered, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental fool! Then beg me, beg me, and I won't go looking for Lin Bai."

"I beg you, I beg you," Tie Haitang pleaded, her heart filled with despair.

"Hahaha, begging me is useless. I'm determined to kill Lin Bai!" Zhao Rong laughed wildly, looking like a venomous woman.

"Remember this, the pain you inflict on her, I will repay you a hundredfold!"

Just then, an incredibly angry male roar echoed on the edge of Thunder Swamp.

Zhao Rong turned her head with a sneer, "Where did this pretty boy come from, so reckless, daring to interfere with my business?"

"Me? Heh, aren't I the Lin Bai that your Soaring Heavens Alliance has been trying to find by any means possible? What's wrong, you're looking for me, and now I'm standing right in front of you, but you don't recognize me?" Lin Bai said coldly.
