## Chapter 48: One Sword Kills All Heroes

"Damn it, he got away again."

Lin Bai watched Xu Shangjie run into Ten Mile Slope, and he was furious.

He immediately chased after him, sword in hand.

But after taking only a few steps inside, he saw three white-robed men leading a group of martial artists, looking fierce and menacing as they charged out.

The three men and Lin Bai locked eyes.

"You're Lin Bai?" the three men asked.

These three were none other than Bai Huatian, Long Ba, and Qi Ming.

They were the last three New Talent Kings from this recruitment.

There were ten New Talent Kings in total: Xu Shangjie, Bai Huatian, Long Ba, Long Yao, Qi Ming, Mo Yi, Ye Guxing, Lin Bai, Ye Suxin, and Nan Lidao.

Long Yao and Mo Yi had already been killed by Lin Bai.

And Ye Guxing and Nan Lidao were both lone wolves who didn't like to associate with these people.

Apart from Ye Suxin, who was still inside refining the Swallowing Heaven Demon Python, the three men in front of him could be said to be the most powerful disciples in the entire trial.

"I am Lin Bai, who are you?" Lin Bai asked.

In Lin Bai's memory, he didn't seem to have any hatred for these people.

"A dead man doesn't deserve to know our names."

"Gentlemen, allow me to kill him with a single strike!"

With that, Long Ba immediately pounced forward.

Long Ba, a New Talent King martial artist, possessed a body tempered to the extreme, so much so that even ordinary First Grade Spiritual Weapons could hardly break through it.

Once, on the second day after entering the Spirit Sword Sect, he was besieged by more than a hundred martial artists. He didn't even make a move, allowing them to attack him until they were exhausted, yet they couldn't even scratch Long Ba.

Afterward, Long Ba easily defeated them, becoming famous in one battle and being crowned a New Talent King.

"Lin Bai, return my brother's life!"

Long Ba roared as he pounced, his eyes bloodshot with rage.

"Who is your brother?" Lin Bai asked.

"My brother, Long Yao!" Long Ba roared.

"So it was him. You are indeed much stronger than your brother."

"But you are still no match for me. Retreat at once, or I will send you to hell to reunite with your brother!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

"Hahaha, ridiculous! I'll let you have three moves. If you can break through my defenses in three moves, I'll give you my head to use as a chamber pot!"

Long Ba was extremely confident in his physical strength.

He stood in front of Lin Bai, provoking him.

"Good."

Lin Bai sneered, and the Spirit Severing Sword instantly left its scabbard.

"Ten Steps, One Kill!"

Lin Bai charged forward ten steps with his sword. With each step, a bloody shadow merged into Lin Bai's sword, and he unleashed a strike.

A scarlet sword light shot straight for Long Ba's neck.

With a pfft sound!

Long Ba's head was severed by Lin Bai's sword!

"Looks like I didn't need three strikes. One was enough."

Lin Bai killed Long Ba and said coldly.

Long Ba's head rolled ten meters away, his face still wearing a smug expression.

He probably didn't know until his death that Lin Bai's swordsmanship was so powerful.

"Long Ba!"

"He underestimated him."

Bai Huatian and Qi Ming both felt a chill in their hearts.

"I'll test you!"

Qi Ming immediately charged out, launching a punch straight at Lin Bai's face without saying a word.

As the punch was thrown, a pressure that seemed to shake mountains gathered in front of Lin Bai.

"Heaven Shattering Fist!"

Rumble!

Qi Ming threw a punch, its power boundless.

"This punch isn't bad, but it's still not enough!" Lin Bai countered with a sword strike of his own, meeting the attack head-on.

Qi Ming's fist collided with Lin Bai's sword.

Instantly, Lin Bai's sword severed one of his arms, sending him staggering backward in a miserable state.

"This! How is this possible!"

More than the pain of his severed arm, Qi Ming found it hard to believe that he had been defeated by Lin Bai in a single move.

From childhood, Qi Ming had been the family's genius, revered by all. Even the experts in his family couldn't withstand three moves against him.

And upon joining the Spirit Sword Sect, Qi Ming had fought against over a hundred martial artists, earning the title of New Talent King.

He had almost foreseen himself becoming famous throughout the Spirit Sword Sect.

But who would have thought that he wouldn't even last a single move against Lin Bai.

"Qi Ming, step back, let me handle this!" Bai Huatian, seeing Qi Ming's defeat, was instantly enraged. He gathered his True Qi and leaped into the air, aiming a foot strike from above at Lin Bai's head.

"Mountain Quake Kick!"

This was a Profound Grade Rank 2 martial skill. When Bai Huatian used it, his kick carried enough force to shatter a ten-thousand-pound boulder.

Its power was terrifying.

"Courting death!"

Lin Bai was furious. These two taking turns to attack annoyed him.

"Since that's how it is, then the two of you can come at me together."

Hearing this, Bai Huatian and Qi Ming's anger nearly set the sky ablaze.

"Lin Bai, I was just careless earlier. But this palm strike of mine will definitely take your life!"

"Soul Shifting Palm!"

Qi Ming adjusted his mentality and once again unleashed a palm strike towards Lin Bai.

He and Bai Huatian coordinated, one in the air and one on the ground, to surround and kill Lin Bai.

Leaving Lin Bai no way to retreat.

"Well done!"

"Thunder God Sword!"

Seeing the two attacking, a bolt of lightning danced from Lin Bai's sword.

The terrifying power of thunder immediately stirred the surrounding winds and clouds.

Thwack—, Thwack—

After two crisp sounds, blood streaks appeared on Bai Huatian and Qi Ming's throats, and blood gushed out.

"You actually dare to kill us… We might be Divine Alliance martial artists!" Qi Ming glared at Lin Bai with anger as he died.

"Lin Bai, just you wait, Miss Ye Suxin and the Divine Alliance will avenge us!" Bai Huatian also glared at Lin Bai resentfully.

Watching Bai Huatian and Qi Ming breathe their last.

Lin Bai said coldly, "I advise the Divine Alliance not to provoke me, otherwise, the day they provoke me will be the day the Divine Alliance is destroyed!"

"Xu Shangjie, many people have died in your place along the way. Let's see how you can escape this time?"

Lin Bai, sword in hand, charged into Ten Mile Slope.

Rumble—

Just as Lin Bai took a step.

A earth-shattering sound came from within Ten Mile Slope.

"What's going on?" Lin Bai was startled and quickly stopped, cautiously looking around.

Just at this moment.

A giant demon python, about a thousand meters long, crawled down from the mountain.

On the demon python's head stood a beautiful woman in white, with eyes like an immortal.

And behind this beautiful woman stood someone Lin Bai knew very well, none other than Xu Shangjie, who had repeatedly tried to kill him.

Ye Suxin had just finished refining the Swallowing Heaven Demon Python and left Ten Mile Slope.

After she came out, she looked down and saw the sword marks on Bai Huatian and Qi Ming's throats on the ground, as well as Long Ba's dismembered corpse.

Her eyes instantly turned icy.

These three were all martial artists of the Divine Alliance, and they had been of great help to her along the way.

Ye Suxin hadn't even had time to bestow any favors upon them, yet they had died at Lin Bai's hands.

"Did you kill them?"

Ye Suxin stood on the head of the Swallowing Heaven Demon Python and asked Lin Bai coldly.

As soon as Ye Suxin spoke, her words were sharp and unkind.

It was as if as soon as Lin Bai said "yes", she would immediately devour him alive.
