747: Chapter 745: Liujing Xing’s Assassination!
Liujing Xing, now dressed in a black robe that covered his face, only revealing a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.
He even used a secret skill to generate a black mist that completely masked him, making it impossible for anyone to see his face.
“Hmm, according to the rules of the Miracle Ridge, you are still in Wooden Puppet Alley, where your ranking in the Potential List isn’t stable yet.”
“Once you die within Wooden Puppet Alley, you can’t be considered as the top ranker in the Potential List!”
“Lin Bai, oh, Lin Bai, you can only blame your own impatience.
If you had exited once when you reached the fifteenth level, letting your Potential List ranking stabilize, then I wouldn’t have had a chance.”
“However, you made one small mistake.
Today, even if I have to risk my life, I must kill you!
In vengeance for my poor nephew, and to answer to my big brother.”
Liujing Xing’s mouth spat out cold words, his eyes icy.
Lin Bai’s face changed, solemnly watching Liujing Xing.
“Die now!”
The black shadow formed by Liujing Xing instantaneously charged in front of Lin Bai, a savage palm strike aiming for Lin Bai’s chest.
“Gentle Sword!”
“Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!”
“Wind and Snow!”
“Divine Sword Thunder Control Skill!”
Lin Bai’s eyes turned blood-red, a sense of impending death triggering a strong will to survive.
Both swords moved together, generating a powerful sword curtain that tore through the heavens towards Liujing Xing.
“Such small tricks!
Hmm, if you were at the same level as me, I might have to retreat, but now you’re only at the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm, while I am already at the Human Elixir Realm Ninth Layer, what do you have to compete with me?”
“Break it apart!”
Liujing Xing sneered, his speed unhindered as he launched towards Lin Bai.
With a powerful palm strike, his strength was like the powerful might of a god, destroying all of Lin Bai’s offense with a single swing.
Seeing this, Lin Bai continued retreating, his expression reaching an unparalleled level of solemnness.
Pfft——
In the blink of an eye, Liujing Xing’s palm strike came crashing down.
“Golden War Body!”
At the critical moment, Lin Bai quickly deployed the Golden War Body to counter Liujing Xing’s palm strike.
Thump!
Even though most of the power from the palm strike was blocked by the Golden War Body, the remaining strength was still enough to send Lin Bai flying, crashing heavily against the wall.
Cough, cough——
Lin Bai lay on the ground, his face pale, continuously coughing up blood.
His chest bone had been completely shattered by Liujing Xing’s palm strike.
Lin Bai roared, “Bastard, even if I, Lin Bai, die, I’ll return as a vengeful ghost to find you!”
“Wait for me!”
“I won’t let this go!”
Lin Bai glared fiercely at Liujing Xing’s shadow.
Liujing Xing coldly said, “Hmm, I’m afraid you won’t even have the chance to become a ghost!”
“With this palm strike, I’ll reduce you to ashes!”
Liujing Xing moved, his overwhelming strength coming crashing down.
Lin Bai’s eyes darkened, his expression becoming solemn, “The difference in strength between the Half-step Divine Pill Realm and the Human Elixir Realm Ninth Layer is too great.
I’m now no match for Liujing Xing!”
“Am I doomed to die today?”
Lin Bai spoke in despair.
Under the Human Elixir Realm Ninth Layer strength of Liujing Xing, Lin Bai hardly had any power to resist.
Now, Lin Bai blamed nothing, only his insufficient strength.
At this moment, Liujing Xing’s full-powered palm strike was hurtling towards Lin Bai, who could already feel the cold smile on Liujing Xing’s face.
Liujing Xing was desperately attempting an assassination.
His only chance was to kill Lin Bai in the Wooden Puppet Alley and carry away Lin Bai’s head before the Tower Guardian Elder arrived, thus eliminating Lin Bai.
Otherwise, if Lin Bai were to leave the Wooden Puppet Alley, it was likely that any attempt Liujing Xing made on Lin Bai’s life would incur the wrath of the Miracle Ridge.
“What is going on?”
“Who is that shadow trying to kill Lin Bai?”
Many warriors were startled upon witnessing the sudden intrusion of the dark figure into the Wooden Puppet Alley, their surprise palpable.
Yao Feng was laughing manically, “Great, great, really great, kill him, crush him!”
He Qian sneered, “Hmph, I originally wanted you to die at my hands, but it seems there’s no need for that now.
Your death is inevitable.”
At the sight of the dark figure’s move, Cheng Hua knew right away that it was Liujing Xing.
“Lin Bai, you’ve offended our Fist Daoist Courtyard.
You must be tired of living.” Cheng Hua said coldly.
Bai Xiaoxiao’s face tightened with worry.
Upon witnessing the appearance of the shadow, she immediately rushed into the Wooden Puppet Alley, hoping to assist Lin Bai in combatting this dark figure.
Bai Xiaoxiao, in her heart, naturally knew that in the current Tianding City, who else but Liujing Xing would want to murder Lin Bai?
“Lin Bai!”
Bai Xiaoxiao called out in concern.
“Hahaha, meet your death!”
Liujing Xing let out a hearty laugh, striking violently with his palm.
Feeling the terrifying power behind Liujing Xing’s palm strike, Lin Bai clenched his teeth and snarled, “Liujing Xing, if I, Lin Bai, reincarnate, I will surely seek revenge on you!”
At this moment, Lin Bai was boiling with rage.
Liujing Xing’s repeated attempts to murder Lin Bai had already enraged him greatly.
However, at this moment, in the face of Liujing Xing’s power at the ninth layer of the Human Elixir Realm, Lin Bai could offer no resistance.
“Who dares to commit murder in the Wooden Puppet Alley!”
“Are you seeking death?”
Just then, a voice like rolling thunder descended.
Suddenly, Lin Bai could sense a frighteningly oppressive force, akin to a collapsing sky, exerting itself within the Wooden Puppet Alley.
A figure descended from the sky and swiftly appeared before Lin Bai, fast as lightning.
Upon seeing the figure descending, Lin Bai’s face immediately lit up.
Liujing Xing’s face turned pale, internally cursing, “Damn it, why did the Tower Guardian Elder of the Ascension Tower arrive so quickly!”
“Retreat!”
Liujing Xing immediately abandoned his attempt to kill Lin Bai.
If he didn’t flee now and ended up getting caught by the Tower Guardian Elders, the crime of murder within the Wooden Puppet Alley would surely land him in grave trouble.
Whoosh——
Liujing Xing instantly pulled back, turning to flee.
As soon as Lin Bai felt the murderous aura dissipate from his body, relief washed over him.
He knew that Liujing Xing had quit.
“Liujing Xing, you old dog.
In the end, you still couldn’t kill me.
Just you wait, I’ll be back for my revenge.”
Lin Bai glared furiously at the fleeing Liujing Xing, baring his teeth in anger.
“Ruffian!
Do you still hope to escape before me?”
The shadow that had descended instantly stretched out a hand to seize him, and a terrifying force fired straight forward.
Liujing Xing quickly turned his head to look back, noticing that the violent force was already at his back.
He gritted his teeth, a grim expression flashed on his face as he wheeled around and blasted a punch.
The colossal wave of his punch immediately collided with the force in mid-air.
“Huh, is this the ‘Heaven Covering Hand’ of the Fist Daoist Courtyard?”
The shadow cried out in surprise.
Now was when Lin Bai finally had a clear look at the shadow that had suddenly appeared.
It was indeed the man who had earlier saved Bai Xiaoxiao—Pei Ji!
