Chapter 93 - Joining the Sword Alliance

Faced with such a strong strike from Zhao Yuan.

Both Lin Bai and Li Qingxuan showed solemn expressions on their faces.

“It’s time to make a move!”

“Sword Intention, Falling Meteor Moon Slash!”

Lin Bai was the first to attack, a single sword ripped through the sky and earth.

The Sword Qi raced across thousands of miles, striking Zhao Yuan’s attack, a thunderous boom echoed as the blade aura collapsed, transforming into a wild wind sweeping in all directions.

“So powerful!”

Li Qingxuan was amazed by this sword move of Lin Bai.

She knew that this was a blade aura launched with full force by Zhao Yuan, who was at the sixth stage of the Xuanwu Realm.

Even for her, she should also be extremely careful when facing this attack.

But to her surprise, Lin Bai shattered this blade aura with just one stroke of his sword!

“Qilin Step!”

After shattering the blade aura, Lin Bai made a slide with his foot, transformed into five waning shadows, and quickly approached Zhao Yuan.

“Sword Intention!

Heavenly Killing Lone Star!”

A sword thrust out abruptly, the starlight Sword Qi pierced through nothingness.

Along its path, the air seemed to squeeze into the sword, breaking through the sky heading straight for Zhao Yuan’s chest.

Zhao Yuan suddenly felt a chill, under this sword, he front cold chills down his spine.

How could this small time warrior at the second stage of the Xuanwu Realm have such a powerful Sword Skill!

“Get the hell out of my way!”

Zhao Yuan, after a brief moment of surprise, chopped his sword in anger, smashing Lin Bai’s offensive.

Swiftly, Lin Bai executed the Qilin Step, avoiding Zhao Yuan’s subsequent fierce attacks.

Upon seeing Lin Bai’s relentless attacks and his exhibited strength, that surprised her so much, Li Qingxuan thought: “Perhaps if we join forces, we might really be able to kill Zhao Yuan!”

“Alright, let’s go all out!”

Li Qingxuan drew her Treasure Sword, the sword light crisscrossed and headed straight for Zhao Yuan.

With Lin Bai and Li Qingxuan joining forces, they unexpectedly suppressed Zhao Yuan, leaving him unable to respond in a fight.

This left Zhao Yuan feeling shocked and angry!

What surprised him was how strong these two were when they joined forces!

What enraged him was the fact that despite being a Inner Disciple, he was being suppressed by two Outer Sect Disciples; if this news spread to the Inner Gate, he might not be able to keep his footing in the Inner Gate.

“You two ants dare to fight me!

Die!”

“Heavenly Sword Slays Dragon!”

Zhao Yuan was so angry that he waved his spirit knife.

A domineering aura swept across all directions.

Boom!

On Zhao Yuan’s enraged face, his battle saber fell heavily with a slash.

This blade aura descended furiously from the sky, as if the sky was collapsing.

Lin Bai looked up and saw that in the ash-grey sky above Zhao Yuan, a dazzling blade aura, like the arrival of doomsday, was plunging straight towards Li Qingxuan and Lin Bai.

Even before the blow could reach them, the overwhelming pressure made Lin Bai and Li Qingxuan spit out blood.

“Lin Bai, let me handle this!”

Seeing how terrifying this slash was, Li Qingxuan knew that Lin Bai wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

She immediately took the responsibility of resisting it head-on.

“Snow Drift Sword Skill, City-breaking Sword!”

Li Qingxuan executed her beautiful Sword Skill, suddenly a flurry began in the sky, amidst the snowflakes, a sword broke through the dawn.

There was a bang!

When the Sword Qi collided with the blade aura, it exploded out with a force that caused Zhao Yuan to vomit blood, and Li Qingxuan, even worse, was thrown back violently!

“Was it a draw?”

Zhao Yuan couldn’t believe it and his face flushed with frustration.

His most powerful slash had ended in a draw with Li Qingxuan.

He, an Inner Disciple, was tied with Li Qingxuan, who was just an Outer Sect Disciple.

This was a huge disgrace!

“Dragon Power Sword Qi!”

Seeing Zhao Yuan severely injured, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a glint, and he stimulated the Dragon Power Sword Qi in his Dantian.

Roar!

A high-pitched dragon’s roar echoed, and the scarlet Sword Qi dyed a piece of the world red.

It carried the terrifying power of a True Dragon’s Annihilation, suppressing Zhao Yuan.

The force of ninety thousand jin in one sword, enough to shatter mountains.

“No, don’t, don’t!”

Feeling the pressure of this sword, Zhao Yuan turned pale and pleaded for mercy hurriedly.

Boom!

The Dragon Power Sword Qi mercilessly suppressed him, the enormous pressure almost compressing him to a pancake!

Huff!

Having killed Zhao Yuan, Lin Bai took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Qingxuan.

Her face was as pale as paper, void of any color.

She clutched her chest while fresh blood continued to pour from the corners of her mouth.

“Are you alright?”

Lin Bai helped Li Qingxuan to her feet.

Li Qingxuan looked shaken and merely shook her head: “I’m fine.”

Qi Shaolong and Tiedan, along with the Sword Alliance warriors, each took half of the Treasure Mountain.

Even though many in the Sword Alliance were unwilling, they had no choice but to obey, considering Li Qingxuan had issued the command.

“Lin Bai, I would like to invite you to join the Sword Alliance.

Would you consider it?” At this moment, Li Qingxuan extended an invitation to Lin Bai.

Today, the power displayed by Lin Bai shocked Li Qingxuan, especially that final dark red Sword Qi and the trepidation it caused, something Li Qingxuan couldn’t forget.

“Well, haha, right now I have the Divine Alliance chasing me around, I am afraid my joining the Sword Alliance would invite a catastrophe to you all.”

“So let’s forget it.”

Lin Bai shook his head.

Lin Bai knew, that after the battle at the Life and Death platform, the Divine Alliance had focused their hatred on him, wishing to consume his flesh and drink his blood.

Even Wen Yuanjia had declared that if Lin Bai dared to participate in the ranking battle of the Outer Sect Disciples, they would surely kill him.

And Lin Bai knew, his aim was to become a Core Disciple.

If Lin Bai became a Core Disciple and refused to obey the Young Sect Leader, then the Young Sect Leader would undoubtedly find ways to eliminate him.

Therefore, a duel with the Divine Alliance was inevitable for Lin Bai!

Lin Bai could face the Divine Alliance alone, but he did not want to implicate his friends due to his own involvement.

“It doesn’t matter.

As you see, the Sword Alliance is also an enemy of the Divine Alliance.

We will have to fight the Divine Alliance sooner or later!”

“Please join us!”

Li Qingxuan passionately invited him.

Lin Bai still hesitated.

“Lin Bai, to be honest, the Sword Alliance is not under my control, but rather under the control of my master, the Second Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect.”

Li Qingxuan whispered.

“What do you mean?” Lin Bai looked at Li Qingxuan, puzzled.

Li Qingxuan shook her head: “You’ve just come to the Spirit Sword Sect, you wouldn’t understand.

There are many secrets in the Spirit Sword Sect, known only to the upper echelons.

It may seem calm, but the undercurrents are pulsating.”

“A hundred years ago, there was a traitor in the Spirit Sword Sect, did you know?”

Li Qingxuan asked.

Lin Bai nodded: “Of course, I heard that this traitor stole many of the Spirit Sword Sect’s top Sword Skills, which led to the decline of the Spirit Sword Sect.”

“Haha.

Whether he stole the ultimate Sword Skills or not is still unknown.”

“The man from a hundred years ago is named Jian Xuan.

He was originally the first in line to succeed in the Spirit Sword Sect and was also the Young Sect Leader.”

“But one night, a hundred years ago, the old Sect Leader suddenly died, and Jian Xuan was labeled a traitor.

The next day, Su Zhan, who was originally just a Core Disciple, unexpectedly became the new Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect!”

“No one knows how many secrets and underhand deals are involved in this, or how Su Zhan became the Sect Leader.”

Li Qingxuan said with a profound smile.

“What are you implying?

Did Su Zhan kill the old Sect Leader and force Jian Xuan away?”

Lin Bai curiously asked.

“I don’t know, no one knows until the truth has come to light, it’s not right for me to make rash assumptions!

But in the Elder Pavilion, over 80% of the elders do not believe that Jian Xuan would betray the Sect.”

“I told you all this to let you know that the Sword Alliance was the alliance that Jian Xuan established back in the day, and it was the most powerful alliance within the Spirit Sword Sect a hundred years ago.

Up till now, over 80% of the elders in the Elder Pavilion are members of the Sword Alliance.”

“So, don’t think the Sword Alliance is much weaker than the Divine Alliance!

Once the Sword Alliance starts resisting, the Elder Pavilion will follow suit.

Then, it’s not decided who will rule the Spirit Sword Sect.”

Li Qingxuan said with a weird smile.

From the smile on Li Qingxuan’s face, Lin Bai sensed a whiff of conspiracy.

“What exactly are you planning to do?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

“You don’t need to know what we want to do, but I can tell you that among all the alliances in the Spirit Sword Sect, only the Sword Alliance can protect you.”

Li Qingxuan smiled faintly.

“So, would you like to join us?”

Li Qingxuan asked again with a smile.

“Alright!

Since you’ve said so much, I am curious to see what exactly you folks want to do.”

“I’ll join the Sword Alliance!”
