Chapter 113: Cutting the Weeds and Eliminating the Roots

Are you sick in the head!

Lin Bai raised his hand.

A bolt of lightning flew out, striking the Professional Mage right on the head.

A puff of black smoke rose from his afro, but the 【Professional Mage】 didn't mind, still chuckling as he livestreamed: "Verification passed, keep those rockets coming, netizens! Damn, this really is the ultimate weapon for dealing with Shopkeeper Lin."

The Beggar Sect Disciples' faces turned dark; they glared at the 【Professional Mage】 one by one, wishing they could tear him to pieces.

"Damn!"

Perhaps because he had verified a bug in Lin Bai, or perhaps because he was stimulated by the netizens' rockets, the 【Professional Mage】 looked at Lin Bai and said it again.

Lin Bai raised his hand and hit him with another one.

Motherf*cker!

It never ends.

Lin Bai traced a circle with his left palm, performing the Dragon Subduing Strike; a dragon head flew out from his palm, bypassed the Beggar Sect Disciples blocking the front, and crashed straight toward the 【Professional Mage】.

Suddenly.

A beam of sword light flew in from an angle.

It split the dragon head Lin Bai had launched into two halves.

Afterward, a black-clad youth who looked to be nearly thirty years old stood in front of the 【Professional Mage】 with a sword in hand, glaring at Lin Bai: "What are you doing?"

Holy crap!

Lin Bai looked at the black-clad youth with curiosity; to be able to split even the Dragon Subduing Strike, this guy was someone of note!

"Brothers, remember his name, kill him back to the新手村!" 【Gugao Laoren】 ignored the black-clad youth, looked at the 【Professional Mage】, a trace of malice flashing in his eyes, and initiated the team voice chat.

"Master, as fellow Heavenly Descended, I came over to greet them and wanted to invite them to join our Chaoyuan Sword Sect, but not only did they refuse, they even attacked me." The 【Professional Mage】 hid behind the black-clad youth and pointed at Lin Bai, saying, "He even said the Chaoyuan Sword Sect is worth nothing, not even fit to carry the Beggar Sect's shoes..."

"Not even fit to carry shoes?" The black-clad youth looked at Lin Bai, a trace of inexplicable disgust flashing in his eyes.

From his perspective, the 【Professional Mage】 hadn't done anything, yet was struck by lightning twice for no reason by the other party, who even intended to kill; if he hadn't sensed something was wrong and arrived in time to save him, his newly accepted disciple would likely have been dead.

"You're full of crap."

"It was clearly you who came over to Provocation."

"When did you ever mention the Chaoyuan Sword Sect?"

"How shameless!"

The Beggar Sect Disciples were filled with righteous indignation, accusing the 【Professional Mage】 one after another.

*Cough! *

Lin Bai coughed once, and the Beggar Sect instantly fell silent, but the team voice chat still hadn't stopped.

"Kill him, I must kill him, he's too shameless."

"This guy is just sowing discord."

"Despicable."

"If I don't kill him back to the新手村, I'm not a man."

Playing these kinds of schemes?

How childish!

Lin Bai's eyes swept past the 【Professional Mage】 and looked at the black-clad youth, smiling: "He's right."

The Beggar Sect Disciples were collectively stunned.

Is their boss really this arrogant?

Could this be the legendary disdain for defending oneself?

"Do you want to die?" The black-clad youth raised his sword, pointing it at Lin Bai.

"Do you think he could speak that fast, greet all of us, introduce himself to prove he's a Disciple of the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, and still invite my Beggar Sect Disciples to join the Chaoyuan Sword Sect? And all that while being hit by two of my Palm Thunder?" Lin Bai looked at the black-clad youth with disdain and sighed, "With a master as stupid as you, the Chaoyuan Sword Sect is indeed not fit to carry the Beggar Sect's shoes. I've heard that only those who practice the Sword can achieve Sword Heart Clarity to reach the peak, tsk tsk..."

"..." The black-clad youth's face flushed red, and he suddenly froze on the spot.

【Resentment from Zhao Ang; +1+1+1】

"Master, don't listen to his nonsense." The 【Professional Mage】 was startled and argued with a flushed face, "He's just twisting the truth; he only denied it after he saw you come over..."

"Brother Zhao, as for who is right and who is wrong, just have your disciple reenact it and it will be clear. It doesn't matter if we fight, but being used by a disciple might not be good for your reputation, Brother." Lin Bai glanced at the 【Professional Mage】 and smiled faintly, "Anyway, we have plenty of time; let's just treat it as watching a monkey show."

"..." The 【Professional Mage】 was dumbfounded.

【Resentment from Professional Mage; +1+1+1】

"You know me?" The black-clad youth was stunned.

"I heard about you from Senior Sister Jiang of the Hundred Flowers Valley. She said Brother Zhao is the most upright of men. Seeing that you are straightforward, I, Lin, took the liberty to guess, and I didn't expect it to really be Brother Zhao." Lin Bai smiled and cupped his hands at him, "Just now, seeing that you were deceived by a villain and lost your composure, I had no choice but to speak harshly. Please forgive me, Brother."

One does not strike a person who is smiling.

Zhao Ang looked at the calm Lin Bai, glanced at the 【Professional Mage】, and frowned slightly: "It is fine."

"Come on, show us." Lin Bai looked at the 【Professional Mage】 with a smile.

"..." The 【Professional Mage】 swallowed hard, continuously contributing resentment to Lin Bai.

"Come on, the innocent will clear themselves. With your master here, what are you afraid of?" Lin Bai smiled, "Reenacting what happened just now shouldn't be difficult for you."

"I..." The 【Professional Mage】 stammered, unable to say a word. He knew his master had an impulsive personality, which was why he had staged this, hoping to push the Beggar Sect into opposition with the Chaoyuan Sword Sect.

He hadn't expected Lin Bai to resolve it in just a few words.

When watching the livestream, he felt Lin Bai was just so-so, but when facing Lin Bai directly, he truly realized how clear Lin Bai's thinking was.

Making up a few lies isn't hard; what's hard is the speed of delivery!

"Idiot!"

Deng Li Buduo looked coldly at the Professional Mage, cursed with disdain, and the nervousness in his heart vanished.

"Moron!"

"Should've just run after verifying, but he had to add extra drama; the streamer is confirmed a moron."

"And adding drama so childishly, must've learned it from palace intrigue dramas."

"I said it before, to beat Shopkeeper Lin, you either steamroll him with strength or persuade the NPC and suppress him from the big picture; little tricks won't win against him."

"Delete your account! The streamer is done for."

The barrage of comments flew by, all full of Zhaofeng toward him; not a single one of those who were shouting '666' earlier could be seen.

The Professional Mage was on the verge of tears.

At this point, how could Zhao Ang not understand the truth? His gaze instantly turned cold.

"If you don't want to recount it, I'll recount it for you!" Lin Bai smiled, "You ran over, the first sentence you shouted was 'The Beggar Sect are all stupid pigs,' and you took the first lightning strike; the second sentence was 'If you have the ability, strike me again,' and you took the second lightning strike; the third sentence was 'If you can't kill me, you're my grandson'..."

"I didn't, I clearly only said 'what the f***'..." the Professional Mage said anxiously.

Pfft!

Another bolt of lightning landed on his afro.

The Professional Mage's voice came to an abrupt halt.

"A crushing of intelligence!" Gugao Laoren looked at Lin Bai with admiration and couldn't help but sigh.

Deng Li Buduo swallowed and nodded in agreement.

"Senior Brother Zhao, when taking in Disciples, one should choose the virtuous; a Disciple like this will one day bring disaster to the sect." Lin Bai looked at the young man in black and sighed softly.

The young man in black, Zhao Ang, had eyes like a Sword, swept coldly toward the Professional Mage, and said, "Don't call me Master from now on; the Chaoyuan Sword Sect cannot accommodate you..."

"Master, I was wrong." The Professional Mage pleaded with a mournful face.

"Senior Brother Zhao has such a good temper, to actually keep him in this situation." Lin Bai sighed lightly, shook his head, and said, "Such a wicked person, once expelled from the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, I fear he will turn to join an evil sect and come back to raise his Slaughter Blade against you."

The Professional Mage glared fiercely at Lin Bai.

【Anger from the Professional Mage; +1+1+1】

"Beggar Sect Disciples, heed my order." A cold glint flashed in Lin Bai's eyes. "Remember this person's face and name; kill him every time you see him until he doesn't dare to show his head again."

After speaking.

Amidst the Professional Mage's regretful gaze, Lin Bai pushed out another palm, the Dragon Subduing Strike, and a dragon head flew out, taking one of his lives.

"Yes."

The Beggar Sect Disciples immediately became excited, vying to respond one after another, then surrounded him; without even waiting for the corpse to refresh, they emptied everything on him, mocking the Professional Mage for having no loot while they searched him.
