"Lin Zier, die!"
Lin Bai quickly caught up with Lin Zier.
He struck with his sword, hitting Lin Zier in the back and sending her flying. Blood sprayed from her mouth, worsening her already severe injuries.
"It's Lin Bai!"
"That good-for-nothing actually defeated Lin Zier."
"My heavens, wasn't it said that a Yellow Rank One Martial Soul could never achieve anything great?"
"It really is Lin Bai!"
Many martial artists were filled with shock when they saw Lin Bai.
Their shock was almost no less than when King Zhao had taken Lin Zier as his disciple.
A Yellow Rank One Martial Soul had defeated a Heaven Rank Five Martial Soul.
If someone told them this, they would think that person was insane.
Because such a thing was impossible.
Yet Lin Bai had accomplished it today!
Lin Zier lay in a pool of blood, staring fearfully at the approaching Lin Bai. "Lin Bai, if you dare kill me, Azure Cloud Terrace Palace won't let you off, and my master, King Zhao, won't let you off either."
"When that happens, not only will you die, but your good-for-nothing Third Uncle will die too!"
"Sorry, but my Third Uncle isn't a good-for-nothing anymore." Lin Bai bared his teeth in a grin.
"Besides, even if the Son of Heaven himself came today, you would still die without a doubt!"
Lin Bai's face was filled with viciousness. He had already made up his mind to kill Lin Bai.
When Lin Zier saw that Lin Bai had no intention of sparing her, she immediately knelt at his feet and cried, "Brother Lin Bai, Brother Lin Bai, don't kill me! I'm your most beloved Zier. Have you forgotten our vows of eternal love and our promises to be together forever?"
"Bitch, you still dare bring that up? Back then, you said that you approached me only to use me to carve out a Martial Dao Path for yourself."
"You had no feelings for me at all. You were merely using me."
"And when my Martial Soul Awakening was inferior and you saw that I had no value left, you kicked me aside."
"Was that your so-called vow of eternal love? Was that your so-called promise to be together forever?"
"Lin Zier, do you not feel ashamed coming to say such things to me now?"
Lin Bai kicked Lin Zier flying.
"It's time to end this."
Lin Bai's killing intent had already risen. He raised the Spirit Severing Sword and was about to bring it down.
However, at that moment, a force like a raging flood and ferocious beast swept over from the distance.
It struck Lin Bai heavily in the chest, breaking eight of his ribs and sending him rolling a hundred meters away. Blood sprayed from his mouth, and he was left weak and helpless.
"Bastard! You dare injure a disciple of Azure Cloud Terrace Palace? I'll wipe out your entire clan!"
An incomparably furious voice came from far away, drawing nearer.
That voice belonged to Murong Qi!
When Lin Zier heard it, she clung to this lifeline and cried, "Elder Murong, save me!"
Murong Qi's figure left several afterimages across the ground. He crossed the entire thousand-meter distance in three steps.
What level of Martial Dao cultivation was needed to cross a thousand meters in three steps?
"Zier, don't be afraid. With your Martial Uncle here, no one in this Divine Martial Nation can hurt you!" When Murong Qi saw Lin Zier covered in blood and in a miserable state, killing intent immediately flashed in his eyes.
If King Zhao saw Lin Zier in this condition, Murong Qi had no idea how severely King Zhao would punish him.
Murong Qi had originally received a command from King Zhao: ensure that Lin Zier arrived at Azure Cloud Terrace Palace safely and intact.
Yet now, Lin Zier had actually had one of her arms severed by Lin Bai.
If he failed to give King Zhao an explanation, Murong Qi himself would surely suffer.
Lin Bai was battered all over. Using the Spirit Severing Sword for support, he stood up and looked at Murong Qi, shaking his head in disappointment. "Just one step short. Just one step short. How did they suddenly come to Sky Ghost Valley?"
Sky Ghost Valley was still some distance from Spirit Rhino City.
An ordinary martial artist would need at least an hour to arrive.
Yet they had clearly not needed that much time to get here.
Murong Qi arrived first.
Afterward, Ji Bei, Xiao Tianchu, Ling Han, Spirit Rhino City Lord, and the other experts also reached Sky Ghost Valley.
When they saw Lin Zier covered in blood with one arm severed, their gazes turned icy.
She was a disciple of King Zhao. Who had grown tired of living and dared to kill King Zhao's disciple?
Then their gazes fell on Lin Bai.
Spirit Rhino City Lord and Ji Bei in particular wore expressions of disbelief.
A martial artist with a Yellow Rank One Martial Soul had actually defeated a martial artist with a Heaven Rank Five Martial Soul!
Who would believe this if it were told aloud?
Yet it had truly happened!
"Martial Uncle, kill him! Kill him!" Lin Zier roared furiously, pointing at Lin Bai.
"Bastard! Today, I'll make you pay in blood. I'll take your head back and give Senior Brother Zhao an explanation!" Murong Qi walked toward Lin Bai with a murderous expression.
With Lin Zier's arm severed, Murong Qi had to give King Zhao an explanation.
And bringing Lin Bai's head back would naturally be the best explanation!
Watching Murong Qi approach, Lin Bai threw his head back and laughed wildly. "Just a little short. Just a little short!"
"You still dare to run your mouth!"
Murong Qi walked to Lin Bai in a fury and struck toward his face with a palm.
Lin Bai was already completely spent and had no strength to fight back.
Just as Murong Qi's palm shot out,
a fist suddenly emerged from behind Lin Bai and slammed heavily into Murong Qi's palm.
That punch sent Murong Qi flying a hundred meters away!
"Which bastard has grown tired of living now and dares interfere in Azure Cloud Terrace Palace's affairs?" Murong Qi was sent flying. Enraged and humiliated, he roared furiously.
"Is your Azure Cloud Terrace Palace really that powerful?"
A languid voice came from behind Lin Bai.
The voice sounded familiar to Lin Bai. He turned back in surprise and saw his Third Uncle, Lin Yue, smiling at him with a benevolent expression.
"Lin Bai, you truly haven't disappointed us." Lin Yue smiled faintly.
"Third Uncle, you're actually this powerful!" Lin Bai cried out in astonishment.
"Heh."
Lin Yue smiled faintly and walked over to Lin Bai.
Murong Qi looked up at Lin Yue and shouted angrily, "Who are you?"
"Just a country bumpkin from the wilderness, unworthy of Azure Cloud Terrace Palace's notice." Lin Yue smiled faintly.
"Then please step aside. I'm going to take this man's head and give Senior Brother Zhao an explanation," Murong Qi said furiously.
"A disciple of King Zhao had an arm severed. Naturally, an explanation must be given to King Zhao. But today, I, Lin Yue, will protect Lin Bai." Lin Yue nodded in agreement.
"I will protect Lin Bai!"
"If you want to kill Lin Bai, ask my fists first!"
Lin Yue said calmly.
