Chapter 285 - True Qi Exhausted?

Chapter 285: Chapter 284: True Qi Exhausted?Everyone looked on at the massive hole in the indestructible stone wall of Chaoyang Palace, the whole scene frozen in shock, unable to recover for a long time.

They recalled what Lin Bai had previously said to Zhan Ying, "Our agreement of three punches was really to see if you could defeat me within three. Unfortunately, you couldn’t."

"I, however, only need one punch to defeat you!"

When Lin Bai had initially made this statement, all the princes, kings, officials, and merchants had scornfully laughed at him, thinking he was just bluffing.

But it now became clear to them that Lin Bai certainly had the capability to do so.

"This person, he truly possesses a power that defies nature!" Bai Huatian was profoundly shaken, exclaiming incredulously and could not help but drinking a glass of wine to calm his shock.

"Brother!" Seeing Zhan Ying was blown out of the Chaoyang Palace with a single punch, Zhan Feng instantly regained his senses. He cried out in alarm and ran out of the palace. It was only after a short while that he returned, holding a barely alive Zhan Ying, to the side of Prince Qi.

Zhan Feng examined Zhan Ying and found his whole body’s bones were shattered by a dreadful force, his breath weak, which made Zhan Feng extremely incensed.

Zhan Feng and Zhan Ying were not biological brothers. When they were young, both were beggars discovered by Prince Qi, who noticed their considerable martial arts talent, took them in and meticulously nurtured them. Who could imagine, those two humble beggars then had now become the most ruthless underlings of Prince Qi.

Zhan Feng’s eyes glowed red as he looked at the unconscious Zhan Ying, like an enraged beast.

Prince Qi said coldly, "Lin Bai must have nearly exhausted his True Qi after a physical contest with Zhan Ying. Zhan Feng, it’s your turn. Bring me Lin Bai’s head."

"Leave Zhan Ying to the imperial physicians, they’ll naturally heal him."

Prince Qi ordered.

Because the Martial Arts Competition was held in the Shenwu Kingdom, the royal family of the Shenwu Kingdom had the responsibility to treat all martial artists who came to participate.

But their duties were just to save lives. If the fighters ended up crippled, they wouldn’t provide further care.

"I won’t let you down!" Zhan Feng handed Zhan Ying to the imperial physicians and left with a cold face.

At that very moment.

Chen Gong urgently shouted, "Lin Bai, come back now! You just fought three tough battles and must be tired. Come back and rest."

Lin Bai glanced at Qi Wangfu’s camp and prepared to return to his seat at the Spirit Sword Sect.

"Stop right there! You think you can just walk away after hurting someone?"

Zhan Feng shouted angrily.

Rumble——

Zhan Feng quickly rushed to the Martial Arts Stage. With a determined glare and murderous intent in his eyes, he attacked Lin Bai with a punch, shattering the void.

A Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer force burst forth suddenly, a terrifying sense of death spreading over Lin Bai’s back.

Lin Bai cast a sidelong glance and held up his Qingge sword, letting out a heavenly slash.

Bam!

Their attacks met mid-air.

Even though Zhan Feng’s punch didn’t defeat Lin Bai, it also stopped him from leaving the Martial Arts Stage.

"Damn!" Chen Gong saw this and immediately became anxious, "He was stopped by Zhan Feng. If Lin Bai still wants to leave the Martial Arts Stage now, it’s certainly not going to be that easy."

Chen Gong said worriedly.

"It’s Zhan Feng’s turn."

"Truly formidable, the number one general under Prince Qi, exerting such power with one move."

"What matters most is Lin Bai just had three close battles, resulting in severe depletion of his True Qi."

"Facing Zhan Feng now, victory is not so readily acquired."

The princes, kings, and officials all murmured in low voices.

From their point of view, Lin Bai’s current situation was far from optimistic.

"Good, since you’re here, give me Zhan Ying’s Points Token." Lin Bai pointed his sword at him, remembering that he flew Zhan Ying away but didn’t get his Points Token. He thus immediately demanded it from Zhan Feng.

Zhan Feng took the Points Token from Zhan Ying and his own from his pocket.

He stacked the two tokens together and put them back in his pocket.

"Both my Points Token and my brother’s are here. If you have the ability, come and get them yourself."

"If you can’t, then you don’t deserve to have them."

Zhan Feng said coldly.

"Don’t push me!" Lin Bai said coldly.

"Humph, I’m not pushing you, you simply won’t manage. I will defeat you, capture you, and slowly grind each bone in your body to dust."

"Have you ever heard of a warrior named Xu Laifeng? He was also a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect. During the Martial Arts Competition at the end of last year, I broke all his tendons, destroyed his Dantian, tore out his heart, threw it back at him, but let him live on in this world, like a dog."

"You’re also a Spirit Sword Sect warrior, you must know Xu Laifeng."

Zhan Feng said, with a cruel smile on his face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai remembered that he had not heard of the name Xu Laifeng.

Therefore, Lin Bai looked back at Chen Gong.

Looking over, he saw rage in Chen Gong’s eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was forcefully suppressing a violent killing intent within his body, as if he wished to dismember Zhan Feng on the spot.

"Judging by Elder Chen Gong’s look, what Zhan Feng said must be true. A senior brother named Xu Laifeng was seriously harmed by Zhan Feng last year." Lin Bai casually replied, turning his head back.

"And you will soon meet the same fate as this disciple of Xu Laifeng!" Zhan Feng said with a cold smile.

"Then come and try!" Lin Bai replied calmly.

"Laughable, do you still believe you have the ability to fight me? How much True Qi do you have left to perform your Sword Skill? Can the True Qi within your body sustain you for three moves?"

Zhan Feng scoffed as if he already knew Lin Bai was running low on True Qi.

"My True Qi is indeed not much, but still enough to kill you." Lin Bai said calmly.

"Really? I can’t wait to see it!"

Zhan Feng let out a cold laugh, rushed forward, and delivered a punch from atop aimed at Lin Bai’s head.

"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill! Wind Rise!"

Lin Bai countered with his sword.

Lin Bai’s ruthless sword parried Zhan Feng’s strike but didn’t defeat him, it merely pushed Zhan Feng back.

"I estimate you only have the strength for three swords."

"This is the first one!"

Zhan Feng, pushed back by Lin Bai, laughed coldly and once again attacked.

"Wind Silence!"

Lin Bai, face calm and eyes sinister, countered again with his sword.

"This is the second sword."

Zhan Feng laughed coldly again after dodging.

Lin Bai’s face turned even more unsightly.

"No good, Lin Bai is running out of True Qi."

"This Prince Qi’s strategy is too despicable, and he’s managed to drain Lin Bai’s True Qi completely."

"Yes, even if Lin Bai had earth-shattering combat strength right now, I’m afraid he wouldn’t have enough True Qi to unleash it."

"The two swords he just used were far too weaker than the ones he used to defeat Xiao Jian and Qi Rui."

Many princes and kings started shaking their heads.

"Hahaha." Zhan Feng laughed wildly and rushed forward again.

Lin Bai stood still and unleashed his sword again.

Zhan Feng dodged and immediately laughed, "With the three moves over, do you still have any True Qi left to perform a Sword Skill?"

Lin Bai’s face turned cold and he remained silent.

This silence seemed like an admission.

Chen Gong watched Lin Bai with a worried look, he also knew that Lin Bai had been in a series of intense fights, and his True Qi must have been severely depleted. Facing the attack of the genius Zhan Feng from the army, Lin Bai was on the verge of breaking down.

"It seems Lin Bai’s True Qi is really about to be exhausted. To face Zhan Feng’s attack, he didn’t even dare to use his movement technique." Many of the princes and kings saw that Lin Bai was standing still, taking Zhan Feng’s three attacks head-on.

Seeing Lin Bai’s silence, Zhan Feng laughed internally, and said, "It seems you really don’t have much True Qi left. Now watch me cripple and torture you!"

"Martial Soul! Black Demon Wolf!"
