Chapter 378

And what made Wang Ye even more unable to calm his heart was that Lin Bai, treasure sword in hand, was stepping toward him one pace at a time!

He looked light as a drifting cloud, like a wild crane at leisure, but in Wang Ye's heart at this moment he was like a demon among mortals, a reaper from hell come to claim his life!

Terrifying beyond words!

Accompanied by the wicked grin at the corner of his mouth, it made one's hair stand on end and sent chills down the spine!

At this moment, Wang Ye's brain suddenly exploded with an overwhelming will to survive; he shouted loudly toward Meng Zi and the others, his face filled with anxious color.

"Meng Zi, Lin Bai has gone mad!!!"

"He's killing me!!!"

"You all stop him quick!!!"

Hearing his words, Meng Zi and the others only now snapped back to themselves from the scene just now, staring at Wang Ye with blank expressions.

Then they looked at Lin Bai again, as if asking whether what he said was true.

Yet Lin Bai didn't even have the mood to give them a "zero-one-zero" of a response; the corner of his mouth curved slightly as he said: "With death at your door, you still struggle like a dying man — do you think begging them will save you?"

"I truly want to know just what kind of sect could breed a crouching dragon and phoenix chick like you!"

"Located in the secret realm, not thinking about how to pass the trial of the Wushi Holy Land, but instead setting your sights on this sword of mine!"

"Can you really live up to your so-called title of Heaven's Chosen Son?"

The moment these words left his mouth, Meng Zi and the others instantly understood the whole cause and effect!

They had naturally also seen the scene earlier of the treasure sword in Lin Bai's hand breaking through the environment.

And based on their understanding of Wang Ye and his lot, for such a treasure, they would stop at nothing!

At this moment, they had no intention of getting involved!

After all, they had already witnessed the might of that single sword strike!

Even a great demon at the Myriad Phenomena Realm level couldn't withstand it — how would they dare speak up for him!

At this moment, Wang Ye was thoroughly panicked; he immediately pulled out his sect identity to speak.

"Lin Bai, I'm warning you — don't act rashly. I am the closed-door disciple of the Grand Elder of the Wuji Sect!"

"If you touch me, the consequences will be severe. Your mere Tai Xuan Sect won't be able to protect you!"

"Even your entire sect will be slaughtered to the last!"

Hearing this, Lin Bai couldn't help but pick at his ear, his face full of annoyance as he said: "Truly noisy!"

"Your so-called Wuji Sect is nothing but a name propped up as a Yiliuzong Sect!"

"Once I become the tenth Holy Son of the Wushi Holy Land, do you think the Wuji Sect will amount to anything?"

As the words fell, the treasure sword in his hand moved in an instant, leaping from Lin Bai's grasp, flashing with cold light.

The blade wound in a sleek, flowing line, radiating a sharp aura; when the sword-light met the air, it gave off a faint whistling sound, as if heralding the destructive power about to arrive.

A thick tree behind Wang Ye instantly burst with splinters flying in all directions, the wood cracking and popping, as if even time itself had been frozen by the force of that single instant.

The sword-light carved a gorgeous yet cruel arc through the air, cleaving through tree after tree.

The trees toppled helplessly, trembling leaves drifting on the wind, leaving deep gouges on the ground, as if the earth itself had been etched with countless marks.

The sharp might of the treasure sword was suffocating; every chop came with a terrifying, searing pain.

And the next moment, Wang Ye's head rolled straight to the ground, bright fresh blood flowing slowly across the earth!

Along with Wang Ye's death, Lin Bai's face was utterly expressionless, as if he had done something utterly trivial.

With not the slightest weight on his heart, he directly sheathed the treasure sword, then brazenly began rummaging through Wang Ye's body!

Before long, he had fished out several magic treasures, tossed them casually into his pouch, then headed toward the center of the island without looking back!

Leaving behind only the dumbfounded Meng Zi and her group!

A petite, delicate girl said with a look of terror in her eyes: "Eldest Senior Sister, Wang Ye just died like that — are we not going to do anything?"

Meng Zi glanced at Wang Ye's corpse and said coldly: "He dared to set his sights on the inner-circle tenth Holy Son of the Wushi Holy Land — even if he didn't want to die, he had to die!"

The moment these words were spoken, everyone was utterly shocked.

What?

The tenth Holy Son of the Wushi Holy Land?

Lin Bai?

How could that possibly be?

"E-Eldest Senior Sister, don't joke around. This trial assessment hasn't even passed yet — how could he already be the inner-circle tenth Holy Son of the Wushi Holy Land?"

Along with this question, everyone looked at Meng Zi with even greater curiosity.

At this, Meng Zi gave a cold snort and said: "Legend has it that the Wushi Holy Land has a female immortal named the Blue Flower Fairy; her abilities aren't particularly strong, but when it comes to sword-forging, no one can compare!"

"Over the span of three hundred years, she forged five divine swords capable of crossing realms to forcibly slay enemies!"

"Use your brains and think carefully. That bear demon just now was at least at the Myriad Phenomena Realm; no matter how special the sword in Lin Bai's hand is, there's no way it could kill a Myriad Phenomena Realm great demon in a single strike!"

"Therefore, there's only one possibility — the sword in Lin Bai's hand is precisely one of the five divine swords forged by the Blue Flower Fairy!"

"From what I learned from my Master, as of now four of these five divine swords are in the Wushi Holy Land, enshrined as supreme treasures; as for the fifth — guess whether it's the one in Lin Bai's hand?"

Hearing this, everyone was even more utterly shocked!

If the truth really was as Meng Zi said, then the implications here would be absolutely heaven-defying!

What kind of situation could make the Blue Flower Fairy gift a divine sword to Lin Bai?

Isn't the answer obvious?!

A sure thing inner-circle tenth Holy Son!

That's why Lin Bai didn't fear the Wuji Sect's threat in the slightest!

Thinking of this, everything became perfectly normal!

Meng Zi looked at her junior sisters who were still in a daze, her expression somewhat displeased as she said: "What are you still standing around for?"

"Hurry and keep up with Lin Bai's pace! We must curry favor with him in every way possible. Even if we don't all enter the Endless Origin Sacred Land together, we must at least leave a good impression!"

"Perhaps if we are chosen, we could effortlessly enter the Endless Origin Sacred Land as disciples together, and even become lifelong companions!"

"This is a blessing that not even a few drops of water from the novel could buy!"

Hearing her words, the crowd nodded furiously. Just thinking about it gave them the feeling that they were about to reach the peak of their lives!

Meanwhile, Lin Bai walked at the very front, completely unaware that the women behind him had already begun plotting how to capture his heart!

……

At the same time!

Inside the Endless Origin Sacred Land!

A group of old men stood with mouths agape, their eyes as wide as carriage wheels, staring fixedly at the scene in the Mirror Flower Water Moon.

Their eyes were filled with expressions of disbelief!

They had thought the sword in Lin Bai's hand was merely somewhat special and possessed a touch of divinity, but they never expected it to have the ability to slay opponents of higher levels!

To know that such a heaven-defying divine sword could only be forged by the Blue Porcelain Fairy!

"Did this young man really forge this sword???"

Such words echoed in everyone's minds!
