"Senior Bai, should we wait here, or...?"
After they went downstairs, Ling Tianhe asked.
"We'll go straight there and kill him!"
Bai Tianyu replied.
Mo Beiming was nothing more than a minor figure in his eyes. He didn't want to waste too much time.
With no one protecting Su Chen now, he needed to deal with his opponent quickly and return to Su Chen's side.
"Good!"
Ling Tianhe followed Bai Tianyu out of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.
Upstairs.
Su Chen had also gone to the window and was looking outside.
A fine drizzle drifted down from the sky, and the air felt a little chilly.
People in the teahouses and restaurants outside Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower who were keeping an eye on the situation turned their gazes toward Ling Tianhe and Bai Tianyu as they walked out.
"Who's the man carrying that long saber?"
Seeing this, the second hall master of Canteen Hall narrowed his eyes and asked.
"I've never seen him before. What are they planning? Are they going to meet Mo Beiming?"
The burly man in fitted clothes watched Ling Tianhe and Bai Tianyu leave Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower, his face full of alarm.
"What else could it be? This man must be Ling Tianhe's trump card. No wonder he dared to kill Lei Hall's people."
A dark look filled the eyes of Shan Zhifeng, the second hall master of Canteen Hall.
He had hoped Canteen Hall might seize some of Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower's shops today.
But judging by the situation now, that would probably be difficult.
Ling Tianhe's strength was somewhat lacking, but he was shrewd and knew Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower inside out.
He knew about Mo Beiming's situation.
And he still dared to show up with someone.
That meant this person could at least deal with Mo Beiming, even if he couldn't kill him.
As if sensing that something was amiss, the pedestrians quickly left the street. In an instant, it fell quiet.
On one side of the street, Mo Beiming, dressed in black, had appeared.
He had also spotted Bai Tianyu walking ahead of Ling Tianhe, carrying a long saber.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze sharpened as he stopped to size Bai Tianyu up.
He tried to recall whether he had ever encountered such a skilled saber wielder.
But he searched his memories and came up empty.
"You're the saber wielder who helped Ling Tianhe kill people?"
"I came to kill Ling Tianhe today. If you're going to protect him, then I'll kill you too!"
Mo Beiming spoke coldly to Bai Tianyu.
Bai Tianyu's expression remained calm as he continued walking toward him, as if he hadn't heard a word.
"Hall Master, that man doesn't seem to take Mo Beiming seriously."
In a private room, several members of Lei Hall watched through the window. Lei Mo frowned as he spoke.
The others looked grave as well.
They had suspected from the start that Ling Tianhe had someone backing him.
That was why they had asked Mo Beiming to act.
Mo Beiming was at the Mid-stage Spirit Refining level, an absolute expert in Qingcheng City.
And they believed that even if Ling Tianhe found help, he wouldn't be able to recruit a Mid-stage Spirit Refining expert.
"Let's wait and see. Mo Beiming can't possibly tolerate being treated with such contempt."
A glint flashed in Lei Mu's eyes.
Though the appearance of Bai Tianyu had surprised him, he still believed in Mo Beiming's strength.
On the street.
Mo Beiming's eyes were filled with menace. The man carrying the saber hadn't taken him seriously at all.
"Then let me see what you can do!"
Mo Beiming reached out. True Qi burst from his palm, gathering the fine rain falling from the sky into his hand. Then he struck out with his palm.
The gathered raindrops shot forth with a howl, like a rain of arrows, hurtling toward Bai Tianyu.
Seeing the arrows of rain rush toward him, Bai Tianyu's expression didn't change.
Blade Qi surged from his body, forming a Blade Shield.
The arrows of rain slammed into the shield, raising ripples across it, but they failed to shatter it.
Seeing his attack blocked, Mo Beiming's gaze sharpened. He hadn't expected his strike to be stopped so easily.
But when Bai Tianyu's Qi Gang appeared, he hadn't sensed any danger.
So he planted a foot on the ground, his body turning into a dark blur. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Bai Tianyu.
A blood-red glow appeared in his palm, carrying a domineering surge of blood energy. Without the slightest hesitation, he struck at Bai Tianyu.
His palm strike howled through the air, tearing through the fine rain.
It came with a sharp whistle, and Bai Tianyu could even smell the blood on it.
Bai Tianyu pivoted, slipping past the strike like a specter.
Mo Beiming's palm missed, but he spun around and turned his hand into a claw, reaching straight for Bai Tianyu's abdomen.
Blood-red force flowed over his fingertips, razor-sharp.
Bai Tianyu turned again, his body blurring into a phantom.
Moving at a speed the naked eye could barely follow, he escaped Mo Beiming's reach.
After missing twice, Mo Beiming felt a chill in his heart. He halted and watched Bai Tianyu warily.
Both his attacks had been dodged with ease.
His opponent's footwork and movement skills were undoubtedly superior to his own.
And with that long saber in hand, he was unquestionably a saber wielder. The power of his saber was bound to be extraordinary.
"Who exactly are you?"
Mo Beiming asked in a low voice.
"I am Bai Tianyu. I've seen what you can do. Now I'll send you on your way."
As Bai Tianyu spoke, his body became a blur and appeared in front of Mo Beiming.
Then a streak of cold light suddenly burst from his hand.
A terrible sense of danger rose in Mo Beiming's heart.
He twisted around, trying to escape.
But Bai Tianyu had already drawn his saber.
The onlookers saw only a shadow of the blade.
As it appeared, a piercing saber whistle rang out, and fierce Blade Qi burst in every direction.
The fine rain that had been falling from the sky vanished.
They saw a flash of saber light pass in front of Mo Beiming.
Then the light vanished in an instant.
The fine rain that had disappeared began falling from the sky again.
On the street, Mo Beiming was still standing there.
His eyes were wide open, and a remnant of the blade's shadow lingered in them. When it faded—
His body split cleanly in two.
Gushes of blood poured from his severed body.
They mixed with the rainwater on the ground.
"This—!"
The onlookers shot to their feet, their eyes filled with shock.
One slash.
This saber wielder who called himself Bai Tianyu had killed Mo Beiming, a Mid-stage Spirit Refining expert, with a single slash.
The patter of the fine rain against the ground echoed through the street.
After a long while, a series of breaths finally broke the silence.
When they looked toward Bai Tianyu again—
He had already turned and was heading back into Golden Wind Fine Rain Tower.
Behind him, Ling Tianhe stared in shock. He had killed Mo Beiming with one slash. What level of strength did Senior Bai possess?
The one who had subdued him with that oppressive aura that night must have been Senior Bai.
With such a powerful expert beside the tower master, Qingcheng City's affairs now seemed easy to handle.
And for the time being, he wouldn't be in danger.
He could also speak with Qin Hao of the Qin family. Then he would be able to help the tower master find out why Qin Hao had come.
His gaze drifted, almost unconsciously, toward one particular spot.
It was the private room where the people from Lei Hall were gathered.
