Chapter 80: The Spiritual Vein Can Go, But Lin Bai Must Die?

Looking at the crowd from the Zitaixuan Sect,

Gu Haiqing's expression darkened, and his gaze swept toward the two Elders beside him.

"Hong Tuo, Luo Chen, you can't even handle a matter like this!?"

He gave a cold snort, a flash of anger glinting in his eyes!

He had assumed this contest over the spiritual vein would pose no real problem, and that the final prize would belong to the Tianji Sect!

But he never expected,

the Zitaixuan Sect still hadn't shown any weakness, and had even produced a sword-path prodigy!?

Unity of Man and Sword…

Thinking back on the intelligence he had received earlier,

Gu Haiqing's brow furrowed slightly, and his gaze settled on Lin Bai!

"So this is Lin Bai!?"

he asked slowly.

At his words,

the two Elders who had been overseeing the situation earlier both nodded in succession.

After receiving a definite answer,

Gu Haiqing's brow creased, and his heart gave a jolt!

"No matter how I look at him, this boy is only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he has managed to grasp the realm of Unity of Man and Sword!?"

He truly hadn't expected,

an inner disciple could possess such heaven-defying sword-path talent!

It was precisely this Lin Bai,

who had wiped out the Tianji Sect's original advantage!

As a Golden Core–realm expert, though furious, he was also deeply shaken!

His gaze gradually turned cold,

and the aura of the Golden Core Realm radiated from Gu Haiqing as he said slowly, "Zitaixuan Sect, do you still mean to fight on!?"

"This old man can offer you one choice: leave now, and this spiritual vein of Luohuang Valley belongs to the Tianji Sect!"

As his words fell, the aura around him grew ever more intense!

But suddenly…

"Is that so!?"

A cold laugh rang out from behind the Zitaixuan Sect!

Immediately after,

a Golden Core pressure that was no less than Gu Haiqing's—if not even stronger—erupted with a thunderous boom!
