Chapter 234: Sky-Rocketing Monkey Style Combat
From human to demon, the Beast Taming Studio had studied Lin Bai in detail and was familiar with every one of his moves and Skills. The moment they were sent into the sky by Moon Chase, everyone exerted all their power to rush upward, seeking nothing else but to outrun Lin Bai's left hand that released lightning.
Those selected to participate in this war at least had the ability to traverse the air; once sent into the sky by Moon Chase, they could figure out a countermeasure later.
Under normal circumstances.
Lin Bai would not let his left hand get too far from his body.
And according to Lin Bai's disposition, once struck down by his lightning, if the people of the Justice Alliance caught them, even if they were severely injured, they would provide treatment.
Perhaps for the sake of reputation, perhaps to build his own forces, or perhaps purely out of a soft heart, Lin Bai rarely dealt lethal blows to his enemies; in the eyes of everyone in the Cultivation World, this was a fatal weakness.
If you don't pull up the weeds by the roots, the future troubles will be endless; you never know when you might suffer a backlash.
To a certain extent, Lin Bai actually did not deserve the title of demon.
Therefore.
The originally elegant Moon Chase was forced by the people of the Beast Taming Studio into the effect of a sky-rocketing monkey, one after another, they zipped into the sky, scrambling to be first.
So much so that Lin Bai's left hand failed to catch up.
Bu Bei's old face turned dark, thinking to himself, is this your strategy for dealing with the enemy?
At the same time.
Hiding in the crowd, the Cangming Sword Immortal watched the chaotic scene and Lin Bai's detached left hand, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
It's now!
Lin Bai's attention was all on the sky, and with his left hand detached, he could not bring out the Love God's Bow for the moment.
The right time, the right place, and the right people.
Achieving success in one stroke, it happens today.
I knew it, no one can ever be flawless.
The Cangming Sword Immortal quietly changed his position, using the cover of the crowd to get closer to Lin Bai bit by bit.
He had seen Li Zhenren's desperate strike with his own eyes, only for Lin Bai to dodge it by splitting apart, so he made himself as close to Lin Bai as possible.
Even the fastest Sword Qi, from the moment it is emitted from the sword body to the enemy's body, requires a certain amount of time.
Even if it is only an instant, it is enough for a well-trained expert to react.
He must ensure he is closer.
The closer he is, the higher the possibility of success.
The Cangming Sword Immortal knew he only had one chance.
After all.
Lin Bai had never seen him before, so it was impossible for him to be on guard against him.
Once he failed, even if he managed to escape, he would never be able to kill Lin Bai again.
The Cangming Sword Immortal adjusted his breathing, trying his best to calm himself down.
The more critical the moment, the more one must keep calm.
Gradually, all the noisy sounds around disappeared from the Cangming Sword Immortal's ears; at this moment, only Lin Bai remained in his eyes.
……
Not far away.
The senior brother from the Heavenly Sword Sect finally came to his senses, looking at the bizarre scene in the sky, and praised: "Well-deserved reputation; if he were willing to be ruthless, not a single person from the Beast Taming Studio would survive."
"Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself; being soft-hearted in battle, he is destined to suffer a great loss because of it." The junior brother chuckled and drew the Sword in his hand, "Senior brother, I am now confident I can kill him with one sword; you might have to steal the little junior sister's bellyband yourself."
"I advise you best not to act." The senior brother said, "The Beast Taming Studio is a smaller-than-small opponent to him. Even if he doesn't strike, the Justice Alliance Army can easily handle the Beast Taming Studio. Even so, he still keeps one eye forward and one eye back; this is enough to prove that his caution has gone deep into his bones. If you kill him now, the one who will be unlucky is definitely yourself, and it might even implicate me."
"……" The junior brother was suddenly stunned.
The senior brother said: "When things are abnormal, there must be a demon. The Beast Taming Studio knows they are no match, yet they strike fiercely; there must be some hidden backup plan. Bringing you out for training this time is to teach you to observe the world's myriad states from the details. When fighting, what determines the outcome is often the level of cultivation technique and realm. Whoever is smarter and can judge more things in a short time is more likely to survive to the end..."
Before he finished speaking.
A sharp sword light suddenly erupted from Lin Bai's side.
In an instant.
The sword light had already enveloped Lin Bai from head to toe.
So the trump card was here.
The moment the sword light erupted, Lin Bai had already reacted; just as the Heavenly Sword Sect senior brother had guessed, the Beast Taming Studio was too abnormal from top to bottom.
Knowing they were no match, they neither surrendered nor fled, claiming they would fight to the death.
As a result, one move of Moon Chase sent them all to the sky, without even a decent resistance; everything was contrary to reason.
Lin Bai had long been suspicious.
After giving the order to guard to all the bodyguards around him, his attention was not on the sky at all, but on the entire battlefield and the prompts in his mind...
Therefore.
The moment the Cangming Sword Immortal launched the surprise attack, Lin Bai noticed it.
Even before that prompt saying "Your pet is under attack."
With the Spirit added from who knows how many Spirit Fruits, plus the agility added by the Extreme Counter-Kill System, Lin Bai's reaction speed far exceeded that of a normal Spirit Transformation expert.
The moment the sword light reached his body.
The ultimate move of Flash, which Li Zhenren had used to explode his power, was activated instantly.
The moment his body was enveloped by the sword light, he had already flashed out of the Cangming Sword Immortal's attack range.
A quarter of the Spirit Transformation realm expert's Spiritual Power was instantly emptied.
Spiritual Power ran wild, and blood and Qi surged.
The meridians all over his body felt like they were about to explode...
Only after actually using Flash did Lin Bai know why Li Zhenren spat out two mouthfuls of blood after using it twice.
This move consumes both mana and stamina, placing an immense burden on the body; below the Transformation Realm, one wouldn't even be able to pull it off if they tried.
At that moment.
If Li Zhenren were to use it a third time, he wouldn't even need anyone else to act; he would finish himself off right there, and even for him, with all his miscellaneous Internal Energy and Spiritual Power combined, he could use it at most four times.
However.
The Divine Doctor System had bolstered Lin Bai's Physique, and the War God System had newly granted him tenfold recovery power, so Lin Bai's recovery ability was far superior to Li Zhenren's.
Half a breath.
The surging Qi and blood within his body returned to calm, and the rampaging Spiritual Power also settled into a smooth flow.
Having missed with one strike, Cangming Sword Immortal did not linger, merging his body with his Sword and transforming into a streak of sword light to flee into the distance.
But just as the sword light started, his posture suddenly changed, shifting into a "Moon Chasing" stance, one hand held level, flying elegantly toward the sky.
"Moon Chasing" can be performed by two or more people, and on a battlefield, there is no shortage of people.
Lin Bai issued an attack command to Li Zhenren, pressed the switch to stop the Recording Pen, recalled his left hand, and chased after the sky-bound Cangming Sword Immortal through the air.
He and Li Zhenren, two swift figures, pursued the Cangming Sword Immortal, who now lacked the ability to resist.
Cangming Sword Immortal was terrified, hurriedly driving his power to accelerate his "Moon Chasing" speed.
Both Li Zhenren and Lin Bai were displaying Transformation Realm cultivation; normally, even if he couldn't defeat two opponents, he could still escape.
Now, he had absolutely no ability to resist.
As a living target, he couldn't even beat one of them!
"Old swordsman, don't think about leaving once you've come; to this day, no expert has ever escaped from Lin's hands!" Lin Bai laughed heartily, bringing out the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set.
A chaotic clanging sound rang out.
The flying Sword beneath Cangming Sword Immortal's feet had already lost its luster, turning into a pile of scrap metal and falling from his feet into the dust.
Lin Bai paid no heed, directing the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set as if forging iron, smashing it all over Cangming Sword Immortal's body, hitting every spot he could reach.
The Blacksmith Six-Piece Set is specialized in breaking Magic Tools.
After coming into contact with the Spirit Tool Pavilion, Lin Bai had seen all kinds of Magic Tools, strange and varied—robes, hairpins, bracelets, rings, boots... any of them could be a Magic Tool, and once activated, who knew what kind of power they might unleash!
In the blink of an eye.
Cangming Sword Immortal's clothes were tattered and he was black and blue; the hairpin holding his hair was smashed by the Blacksmith's Hammer, leaving his hair disheveled.
Fortunately, a Transformation Realm expert has deep Spiritual Power, so the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set couldn't kill him in a short while...
Even so.
With all the Magic Tools on his body destroyed, Cangming Sword Immortal was heartbroken and cursed loudly: "You brat, you go too far! Destroying someone's Magic Tools, what kind of hero is that? If you have the guts, fight me fair and square."
"Old Sword Immortal, anyone from the Beast Taming Pavilion could say that to me, but you are the only one without the qualification!" Lin Bai followed closely behind, smiling as he said, "You were the one who launched a sneak attack first; if not for the fact that Lin has some skills, I would have already died under your Sword just now..."
Cangming Sword Immortal was forced to smile, and in his exasperation, he channeled his full power and shouted: "He Qin, you little bastard, are you just going to watch your master suffer?"
He Qin?
Lin Bai's heart tightened; this guy is from the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, so what is the Beast Taming Pavilion's backup plan?
Below, He Qin's face was already as black as the bottom of a pot; he didn't even know when his master had snuck in, and at such a critical moment, he had even struck Lin Bai with a Sword...
This was simply an unprovoked disaster.
If he had only consulted with him, he wouldn't have ended up in this state!
He Qin seemed to have already seen Cangming Sword Immortal's future: either he would become a mindless Puppet of Lin Bai like Li Zhenren, or like Pei Yanzong, he would desperately fall in love with some man by Lin Bai's side!
What a tragedy!
Why on earth did you have to go and provoke Lin Bai?
After thinking it over repeatedly.
He Qin said helplessly: "Master, why don't you just surrender! Our Chaoyuan Sword Sect has already joined the Justice Alliance; I will help you plead for mercy with Lin Bai and have him match you with a good lover, how about that?"
Fearing that Lin Bai might misunderstand, he hurriedly added, "Alliance Leader, we truly knew nothing about my master's assassination attempt on you; you can beat him as you see fit, and as for how we can assist you, just give your orders..."
Cangming Sword Immortal was so angry his nose was crooked: "He Qin, you rebellious traitor who betrays his master! Once I recover, I will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces to vent the hatred in my heart! Fellow Daoists of the Beast Taming Pavilion, I am standing up for you; lend me a hand, and if I survive, I will surely reward you heavily later..."
Little did he know.
The members and Disciples of the Beast Taming Pavilion who had already flown into the sky were also stunned.
Looking at the disheveled Cangming Sword Immortal, Long Lin didn't even know what to say, his head throbbing.
Are you crazy!
Who asked you to help!
I'm trying to surrender to the Justice Alliance...
So self-indulgent!
First there was Bu Bei, and now this guy; why are you all rushing to join in this mess?
How is this supposed to let me surrender?
Ruining my good plans.
Thinking of Bu Bei.
Long Lin swallowed hard and immediately became nervous, looking around; could that old Daoist also be hiding in the dark, preparing to give Lin Bai a hit like that?
If two great experts appeared and angered Lin Bai, wouldn't he slaughter everyone in the Beast Taming Pavilion?
A Transformation Realm expert's sneak attack only lasted one round under Lin Bai; if Lin Bai got ruthless, all the people and beasts of the Beast Taming Pavilion combined wouldn't be able to stop him!
Damn it!
Not coming when they should, and coming blindly when they shouldn't...
Watching Cangming Sword Immortal getting closer and closer to them, Long Lin couldn't care about anything else and hurriedly said: "Alliance Leader Lin, the entire Beast Taming Pavilion is willing to submit to the Justice Alliance. Cangming Sword Immortal's attack on you has nothing to do with the Beast Taming Pavilion. You don't need to worry about us; if you need, we can also help you beat him."
Cangming Sword Immortal was dumbfounded; what is going on?
"Sect Leader Long, is this true?" Lin Bai asked with a smile.
"It couldn't be truer." To gain Lin Bai's trust, Long Lin stopped using the Demon Beast to speak and simply stepped out, speeding up his speech to explain, "To tell you the truth, I read the Justice Weekly every day and have long admired the Justice Alliance's style of conduct. I have long wanted to join the Justice Alliance to contribute my light and heat to promoting the laws, but I never found the opportunity. The reason I opposed the Alliance Leader just now was merely to show the Beast Taming Studio's strength so that the Alliance Leader wouldn't look down on us... Ah!"
A cry of surprise.
It was because Sword Immortal Cangming and Lin Bai and the others had already approached the position where the Beast Taming Studio disciples were standing.
Without a word, Lin Bai used Moon Chase on the Beast Taming Studio people again, and Long Lin flew up once more.
Two armies at war.
Anything could happen. He wouldn't believe Long Lin just because of a few words. To prevent any accidents while subduing Sword Immortal Cangming, he would let them stay in the state of Moon Chase for now...
"Hahaha, a bunch of idiots, how could Lin Bai possibly believe you?" Seeing the Beast Taming Studio people flying up again, Sword Immortal Cangming gloated, "Lin Bai, if Long Lin is lying to you again, I am the one he specifically invited to deal with you. Seeing me at a disadvantage, he wants to abandon me? Dream on!"
"Alliance Leader, don't listen to his nonsense, I really was preparing to surrender." Long Lin broke out in a sweat, desperate and exasperated, "Besides, even if I invited someone, I wouldn't invite him! Bu Bei, the number one in the Transformation Realm, came to the Beast Taming Studio specifically to help, and I even drove him away! I don't even use Bu Bei, so how could I possibly invite such an idiot."
Bu Bei?
Number one in the Transformation Realm!
Lin Bai tensed up again. Sure enough, under the Heavenly Dao Execution Order, there were people plotting against him everywhere!
"By the way, Alliance Leader, you must be careful of Bu Bei. Sword Immortal Cangming is hiding in the dark, and that old thing might also be hiding in the dark, preparing to ambush you!" Long Lin shouted again. To talk to Lin Bai, he even lowered the speed of Moon Chase.
"Fellow Daoist Bu Bei, if you are here, please appear and assist me." Sword Immortal Cangming was overjoyed. Enduring the repeated hammering from the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set, he shouted, "If you and I join forces, we will definitely be able to execute Lin Bai..."
Hiding in the dark and intending to help Sword Immortal Cangming, Bu Bei froze on the spot, his beard trembling with anger.
For a moment.
He understood everything!
It was hopeless!
The Cultivation World was hopeless!
What kind of people were these? Too stupid, not one of them was worth helping...
"Junior Brother, do you see it now?" Elsewhere, the Senior Brother from the Heavenly Sword Sect looked up at the sky, his eyes flickering. He frowned slightly, unable to remain calm, "Love Separation is truly miraculous. During the process of being sent to the sky, one cannot perform any defense other than fleeing. Even if I encountered this move, I fear I would suffer a great loss. Tsk, troublesome, troublesome!"
The Junior Brother's hand holding his Sword was trembling slightly. His youthful face was somewhat pale at this moment. If the Senior Brother hadn't stopped him just now, the one flying in the sky like a woman and being smashed by the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set would be him!
The hammer and anvil were one thing.
But what the hell were those tongs, the furnace, and the Bellows? Could these even kill enemies on the battlefield?
Also, smashing his head was one thing, but why use the iron tongs to smash his crotch, and use the furnace to roast his butt? If the furnace didn't fall off after burning for a bit, his clothes would have been burned away!
Why treat people so cruelly?
The Junior Brother swallowed hard and subconsciously brought his legs together. It was too cruel!
The Senior Brother was right. Anyone who could be wanted by the Righteous and Evil Execution Order was definitely not a soft touch. The idea that a soft heart was a weakness—this guy wasn't soft-hearted at all...
