Chapter 153: The Slaughter Sword Emerges, the White God is Dead

Ye Bai had no mood to waste words with Shangguan Yijian!

The bullying incident from twelve years ago.

The incident where Ye Sanjian tried to kill him and Qin Churan again and again.

Shangguan Yijian was dissatisfied with him.

He, in turn, held near-tangible killing intent toward Shangguan Yijian!

If there were a chance, he truly wouldn't mind killing this so-called First Genius of Haicheng!

All his dissatisfaction was in his spear!

"Clack, clack, clack!"

However, Shangguan Yijian was worthy of being a King-level Prodigy.

Ye Bai's spear strike, which was fast to the extreme—a strike Li Wen couldn't react to back then—Shangguan Yijian reacted to it.

A long sword was unsheathed in an instant, and he actually used an Earth Grade sword technique in the blink of an eye, one whose proficiency had even reached the Minor Achievement level!

Although Shangguan Yijian retreated dozens of meters instantly upon colliding with Ye Bai's spear, his face flushed red from the terrifying force.

But he had indeed blocked it!

At this moment, Ye Bai also recalled the information on Shangguan Yijian.

A dual-talent possessor!

The first talent was that killing any living being could restore Qi and Blood, while simultaneously absorbing a portion of that Qi and Blood and converting it into his own.

It was roughly an upgraded version of the "killing makes you stronger" ability that Ning Yuan had; it was an extremely powerful Martial Arts Talent that balanced sustainability and growth.

The second Martial Arts Talent was the Born Sword Body!

When Shangguan Yijian learned any sword-type Martial Technique, it came with a built-in buff; not only was his comprehension speed surprisingly fast, but he could also significantly boost the power of sword-type Martial Techniques!

This was the real reason why Shangguan Yijian, despite only being at Fourth Grade Peak, could block the many buffs Ye Bai had on his spear strike!

No, that wasn't all.

Ye Bai then realized that Shangguan Yijian's Blood Qi Control was also not low.

It wasn't 100%, but it was at least 80%.

"Heh, Ye Bai..."

However, just as Shangguan Yijian sneered, wanting to say that Ye Bai was nothing more than this, and that he hadn't even gained much of an advantage from a sneak attack.

"Boom!"

Ye Bai moved again!

He didn't care at all about the result of that previous spear strike.

After knowing Shangguan Yijian's approximate strength, his eyes held only battle! Battle! Battle!

If one spear strike wasn't enough, then ten; if ten weren't enough, then a hundred!

I don't care what kind of King-level Prodigy of Haicheng you are!

And this time, what Ye Bai used was the Flowing Cloud Spear Technique.

A spear technique that, unlike the Nine Extremes or Moon-Breaking which pursued extreme explosive power or extreme speed, was different.

The Flowing Cloud Spear Technique won through its thousand variations! It won through its eerie unpredictability!

Setting aside the flowery names given by the creator of the spear technique.

Lifting the spear, chopping with the spear, standing the spear, and spear blossoms were the various ways to use the moves of the Flowing Cloud Spear Technique.

The difference was that every spear strike came with clouds and mist formed by Qi and Blood circulating through specific meridians!

Ye Bai's thought was also very simple.

You aren't very fast at reacting, and you can block my spear strike that is fast to the extreme?

Then try blocking this, the ghostly and unpredictable Flowing Cloud Spear Technique?

"Bang, bang!"

The effect was also surprisingly good.

After only a few strikes, one of Ye Bai's spear blossom moves pierced Shangguan Yijian's chest, tearing through the latter's clothes and revealing a piece of Gold Silk Soft Armor underneath.

As a disciple of Ye Sanjian, Shangguan Yijian was not short on money or energy, and thus possessed an impressive Defense Battle Soldier!

However, Ye Bai still didn't take it to heart!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was only the continuous bombardment!

Only one spear strike after another, thrusting out!

"Bang!" Not long after, another spear strike hit Shangguan Yijian!

The terrifying force not only made Shangguan Yijian retreat repeatedly, but blood also flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Bang!" Then, another spear strike!

Ye Bai did not speak throughout the entire process.

But his gaze seemed to be telling Shangguan Yijian.

These two spear strikes were revenge for the bullying Shangguan Yijian had inflicted on him twelve years ago!

"Damn it, damn it!"

"How is this piece of trash so strong?!"

Shangguan Yijian finally lost his previous contemptuous attitude.

You must know, he only looked down on Ye Bai psychologically, yet he had already used his full strength during their first exchange.

Born Sword Body + multiple Minor Achievement-level Earth Grade sword techniques were his reliance for thinking Ye Bai was nothing special, despite them both being at Fourth Grade Peak!

"No, I must win..."

"Ye Bai, you forced my hand!"

And as Ye Bai thrust his spear out again, this time he suddenly changed his technique, switching from Flowing Cloud Spear Technique to Nine Extremes Spear Technique.

"Puchi!" The spear not only hit Shangguan Yijian but also pierced through that Gold Silk Soft Armor, leaving a clearly visible bloody hole in Shangguan Yijian's body.

While Shangguan Yijian felt the pain, he finally could not hold back anymore!

He had originally not wanted to use the Zhansheng Sword, confident that he could defeat or even kill Ye Bai on his own.

Accepting this War Soldier was merely due to his own greed.

If he used this Desolate Grade War Soldier in the Ladder Tournament, even if he won, it would not be honorable, and no one would acknowledge his position as the First Genius.

"Go to hell!"

Shangguan Yijian threw away the long sword in his hand, and then a flash of gray light appeared!

"Crack!"

In just an instant, the Dragon Scale Spear in Ye Bai's hand was forcibly sliced into two pieces by Shangguan Yijian from the center of the spearhead!

The long sword's momentum did not diminish, and it continued to slash toward Ye Bai!

"Swish!" Ye Bai's pupils constricted violently, and then he retreated sharply, only just narrowly dodging this sword strike.

But something even more terrifying happened next.

"Boom!" Before Shangguan Yijian could even reveal a ferocious grin to pursue his victory and kill Ye Bai.

The Zhansheng Sword in his hand erupted with an extremely terrifying Mental Power shock that struck directly at Ye Bai's soul!

"Shangguan Yijian, how dare you!!"

"Quick, save him!"

Voices of shock and anger suddenly exploded...

Time returns to the day Ye Sanjian gave the Desolate Grade War Soldier, Zhansheng Sword, to Shangguan Yijian.

"Yang Hai is too indecisive; he only wants to suppress Ye Bai's growth."

"The success rate of negotiating with Xi Qian is also not high; she is too young and does not know what Ye Bai symbolizes."

"This is the last chance to kill Ye Bai..."

"I cannot miss it."

"And Ye Bai's growth speed is too fast. I am not sure if he will suddenly enter the Qi and Blood Grade Five during the Ladder Tournament, so I will assume he is a Fifth Grade Peak Qi Blood Martial Artist."

"Therefore, hiding a Rank Six Mental Power shock inside the Zhansheng Sword is far easier to kill him with than hiding a Half-step Seventh Grade Sword Qi!"

Ye Sanjian looked as if he were doing something extremely sacred, stroking the old friend that had accompanied him for many years with a solemn face...

Ladder Tournament livestream room.

When the battle between Ye Bai and Shangguan Yijian began, there were not many bullet comments in the entire livestream room at that time.

Everyone was watching the battle intently.

At the same time, "Holy crap" kept running through their minds.

"Was that the Earth-Rank Moon Breaking Spear Technique that White God just used? Was that move the final form of the Moon Breaking Spear Technique? Holy crap, a Major Achievement level Earth-Rank spear technique!"

"Holy crap, his Flowing Cloud Spear Technique is also at Major Achievement level!"

"Holy crap, and there's the Major Achievement Nine Extremes Spear Technique!"

"I thought it would be an evenly matched struggle between dragons and tigers, the kind where both sides would have to fight for hundreds of rounds before there was even a tiny gap, but I didn't expect it to be a one-sided crushing..."

This was what many people were thinking inside.

They didn't want it to be, but Ye Bai's performance was too heaven-defying!

"Wait, why did Shangguan Yijian throw his sword away?"

"What kind of sword did he pull out? How did it cut White God's Earth-Rank long spear with one strike?"

"Black, the screen went black??"

Then they saw Shangguan Yijian's abnormality.

They saw the real-time broadcast screen suddenly go black, suspected to have been actively cut off.

However, everyone heard the anxious voices of the Instructors before the broadcast was cut.

"Save someone? Save who? It couldn't be Shangguan Yijian, so that means... White God?"

"Shangguan Yijian used something that didn't belong to him; it's highly likely to be the Rank Six Grandmaster Realm power his master gave him for self-defense..."

"White God, is he dead?"

Countless people fell silent.
