Chapter 1990: Chapter 1987: A Gentleman Hides His Strength
Lin Bai’s face was solemn, and he began to ponder a way to deal with Lan Yuxin.
After a moment, Lan Yuxin snorted coldly and again flashed explosively toward Lin Bai, with a palm strike aimed directly at Lin Bai’s face. Lin Bai had no choice but to fight while retreating.
While dealing with Lan Yuxin’s fierce attack, he was also quickly thinking about a strategy.
"Once more!"
Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and the sword light in his hand immediately started dancing, with overwhelming power and sword momentum crashing down, slicing toward Lan Yuxin.
At the same time, two flying swords pierced toward Lan Yuxin from the left and right, their sword edges sharp, as if they could pierce through the void.
"Blockade Heaven in One Breath!"
Lan Yuxin’s eyes turned icy blue in an instant.
Heaven and earth were once again still.
In a flash, Lan Yuxin slipped past Lin Bai’s offensive, aiming a palm strike at Lin Bai’s chest.
At that moment, just as Lan Yuxin’s palm was about to hit Lin Bai’s chest, a surge of Thunderbolt Power erupted violently from Lin Bai’s chest, forming a Thunder Net.
"Hmm?" Lan Yuxin’s expression froze, her palm hitting the Thunder Net.
Rumble——
Lan Yuxin’s body was thrown straight back.
A breath of time passed, and heaven and earth resumed.
Lin Bai saw that he was still standing in mid-air, while Lan Yuxin had been pushed back by a hundred meters. A slight smile immediately appeared on his face: "It seems your palm strike just now didn’t push me back!"
Lan Yuxin squinted her eyes, looking at Lin Bai, she said, "You have cultivated the body protection technique?"
"It seems I have found a way to deal with your strange divine power." Lin Bai sneered coldly: "Let’s settle this quickly."
"Slaughter Comprehension!"
"Aurora Realm!"
"Stormy Ambience!"
Lin Bai chanted low continuously, and the force of three realms twisted around him simultaneously.
"Triple Intentions Fusion! Slaying Immortal!"
Lin Bai exerted his full strength, now directly deploying his strongest sword skill, which was a sword skill divine power of his own creation, only usable by fusing the power of three realms to unleash the Slaying Immortal Sword!
"Flying Swords! Tai Chi Dual Elemental Sword Array!"
"Kill array! Activate!"
Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and the flying swords once again rose into the air, charging at Lan Yuxin!
Within Lin Bai’s sword intention, Lan Yuxin unexpectedly felt a tinge of fear; her beautiful eyes flashed hastily as she snorted coldly: "Martial Soul Secret Skill! Blockade Heaven in One Breath!"
"Let you block me for a breath, what can you do?" Lin Bai laughed coldly as he saw Lan Yuxin reusing her trick.
Crack!
Heaven and earth halted.
Lan Yuxin looked at Lin Bai in confusion, realizing that his sword skill and flying swords had not yet been used. She was surprised: "Oh no, he’s yet to use his sword skill and flying swords!"
"Is he luring me to use Blockade Heaven in One Breath?"
"If this breath passes, I’m afraid I’ll be seriously injured in an instant!"
"Damn it! What a clever lad, it seems I can’t keep playing with you; within this breath, I must render you unable to fight."
Lan Yuxin stared blankly at Lin Bai, and in that breath, she had already read Lin Bai’s intention.
Lan Yuxin’s eyes filled with a fierce glint, and at the instant when heaven and earth stopped, she swiftly rushed toward Lin Bai, gathering all her spiritual power to strike Lin Bai’s chest with her palm.
And at this moment, strands of Thunderbolt gathered from Lin Bai’s body.
"Break for me!"
The power of Lan Yuxin’s palm was extraordinary, directly crumbling when hitting Lin Bai’s Thunderbolt.
Splurt——
Lin Bai’s body was immediately thrown backwards, seriously injured.
And at this moment, heaven and earth resumed as before.
"Ah——" The instant time and space resumed, Lin Bai felt the ripping pain in his chest and noticed that three or four of his ribs had been shattered.
Yet Lin Bai didn’t care about his injuries at all; the Slaying Immortal Sword that had already been gathered in his hand, along with the two flying swords that were poised to strike, now simultaneously attacked Lan Yuxin.
"This is the only opportunity!"
"This is the last chance to defeat her!"
A grim and frenzied expression appeared on Lin Bai’s face.
"Flying Swords! Go!"
"Slaying Immortal!"
Lin Bai’s sword skill and two flying swords burst forth simultaneously, striking Lan Yuxin with lightning speed.
Splurt——
Lan Yuxin was immediately hit by the dual attack, her body thrown backward like a kite with a broken string.
Bang! Bang!
With two crisp sounds, Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin almost hit the ground simultaneously.
The injuries on both were severe.
The two landed on the ground simultaneously, yet neither were able to get up immediately.
Brother Harper, hovering above the First Island, exclaimed: "What an astonishing battle, I never expected Lin Bai to drive Lan Yuxin to such a miserable state in a desperate situation!"
Ren Tingga said in a cold voice: "I don’t seem to understand what’s going on here?"
Brother Harper squinted his eyes, replaying the battle between Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin repeatedly in his mind.
Not only was Ren Tingga confused, but many veteran disciples couldn’t understand either, let alone the other new warriors, who had no idea.
Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Yin Jiuling on the Twelfth Island both showed a hint of solemnity on their faces; when they looked at Lin Bai, there was more of a sense of awe.
Blackstone Roland Sword Nine said coldly: "This Lin Bai..., if he wasn’t from the Territory of all nations, I’d suspect he might be a warrior from the Nameless Region."
"His combat method is entirely about mutual destruction!"
Yin Jiuling said: "First, he used offensive maneuvers to lure Lan Yuxin to act, hiding his edge in the void and waiting in readiness. Such a mind is indeed rare in this age!"
"Is this what it means for a gentleman to keep his abilities hidden until the right moment?"
Yin Jiuling said faintly.
Tens of thousands of veteran disciples and new warriors were exclaiming at this moment.
"Who won?"
"Lan Yuxin is injured so badly?"
"Is the winner decided?"
Many veteran disciples were exclaiming one after another.
On the Twelfth Island, Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin lay on the ground for a long time.
After a moment, Lin Bai propped himself up with the Demonic Sword, slowly standing up from the ground.
On the other side, Lan Yuxin also gritted her teeth and stood up.
"Still able to stand." Lin Bai chuckled, looking at Lan Yuxin: "You’re the first warrior to take my sword skill and flying swords and still stand!"
The tearing pain from Lan Yuxin’s body twisted her pretty face, turning pale as she looked at Lin Bai, her mouth spilling a trace of blood.
Lin Bai chuckled: "But given your current state, you can at most use that divine power one more time, and I can withstand it once more. By then, you’ll have expended all your means, and I’ll still have the strength to fight!"
"I’ve already won this battle."
Lin Bai revealed a smug smile: "If you don’t think so, you can try, to see if you can kill me in one strike!"
"If your next strike doesn’t kill me, then after your divine power is exhausted, I will kill you!"
Lin Bai stared coldly at Lan Yuxin.
"You can try." Lin Bai said.
