"What are the two of you doing?"
Upon arriving, Tang Yunshan saw Lin Chen and Chang Bai locked in combat.
Currently, watching the deadlock between Chang Bai and Lin Chen, Tang Yunshan immediately spoke up to intervene.
Within the secret realm, the assessment was meant to test everyone’s capabilities, and it was not intended for the participants to fight to the death.
However, the actions of the two in front of him clearly indicated they were gearing up for a life-or-death battle.
"Lin Chen, why don’t you give Elder Tang some face and withdraw the formations around us?"
Chang Bai looked at Lin Chen and immediately spoke out.
Yet, upon hearing this, Lin Chen remained unmoved.
"Why don’t you disperse the surrounding Sword Qi first? With your ruthless methods, if I were to withdraw the Fire Dragon Formation around us, you would surely take the opportunity to strike me down, wouldn’t you?"
Lin Chen said coldly as he looked at Chang Bai.
He was all too aware of Chang Bai’s tactics. Previously, when they were hidden, Lin Chen had witnessed with his own eyes that even though Ouyang Xuan had conceded defeat, Chang Bai still eliminated all the martial artists in Ouyang Xuan’s team.
Tang Yunshan’s cultivation was indeed strong, but in this secret realm, it was suppressed.
If Lin Chen withdrew the Fire Dragon Formation, and Chang Bai wanted to attack Lin Chen, Tang Yunshan’s suppressed cultivation within the secret realm would be completely incapable of stopping Chang Bai.
Once the Fire Dragon Formation was gone, Lin Chen would lose the upper hand and lack the means to check Chang Bai.
"You... Are you really going to disrespect Elder Tang Yunshan that much?"
Chang Bai was annoyed when Lin Chen saw through his intentions.
He was very clear about the current situation. With Lin Chen’s talent, if he wasn’t killed today, Chang Bai would have to face severe consequences in the future.
Once they left the secret realm, Lin Chen would surely become an Inner Sect Disciple and even a Core Disciple. Lin Chen would then certainly have opportunities to take revenge on him.
Faced with Chang Bai’s attempt to pressure him by mentioning Tang Yunshan, Lin Chen remained unmoved.
He genuinely didn’t respect Tang Yunshan.
It wasn’t just here, where Tang Yunshan’s cultivation wasn’t impressive, but even outside, within the Formation Sect, Lin Chen didn’t hold Tang Yunshan’s strength in high regard.
If Lin Chen were to use all of his tricks, Tang Yunshan’s mere Sixth Layer of the Reverting Void Realm strength would be completely manageable by Lin Chen.
If it weren’t for Lin Chen’s unwillingness to reveal his true capabilities, someone like Chang Bai wouldn’t even register in his concern.
However, there were too many people around at the moment, and with the final rankings battle yet to come, Lin Chen didn’t want to reveal his strength prematurely.
Using the Purple Cloud Wings had been a reluctant move of necessity.
Watching the two in the sky, Tang Yunshan, although somewhat displeased that neither of them would give him face, felt somewhat helpless.
These two were likely to become candidates for the Inner Sect, destined for a limitless future.
The current situation was beyond Tang Yunshan’s control, so he immediately sent a message to Tang Yuntian, reporting the situation here.
And just after Tang Yunshan sent out a message about the situation here.
Less than half an incense stick time later, a man dressed in white slowly flew over.
"Young Master Bai, you’ve arrived."
Seeing the man in white arrive, Tang Yunshan actually gave him a bow, showing a hint of fawning in his gesture. Follow current novᴇls on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Lin Chen and Chang Bai both narrowed their eyes slightly at the arrival of the man in white, sensing that the newcomer’s cultivation was only at the Half-Step Return to Void Realm, likely self-imposed with restrictions to limit his cultivation and allow entry.
Upon arriving, the young man in white merely glanced indifferently at the frigid Sword Qi in the sky and at Lin Chen’s eighteen Fire Dragons, his eyes devoid of any emotion, extremely calm, before a silver sword appeared in his hand.
The moment the silver sword appeared in the man’s hand, Lin Chen took an extra few looks, as he sensed that it was a Heaven-grade Treasure.
Until now, this was Lin Chen’s first encounter with a Heaven-grade Treasure.
With the silver sword in hand, the man didn’t utter a word. Instead, he unleashed his Spiritual Power, slashing a sword each towards Lin Chen and Chang Bai.
As the two streaks of Sword Light flashed by.
The Sword Qi that Chang Bai had condensed in the sky was instantly dispersed by that Sword Light.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen’s eighteen Fire Dragons were instantly extinguished by the Swordsman in White’s Sword Qi.
Witnessing the Swordsman in White’s domineering and sharp Sword Qi, Lin Chen, Chang Bai, and all the martial artists present were inwardly astounded.
Actually, Lin Chen was relatively composed, as he recognized the extraordinary quality of the Swordsman in White’s Swordsmanship.
If the man hadn’t had his cultivation restricted, his strength would likely be even greater, perhaps one of the Formation Sect’s Heavenly Prides.
Chang Bai, stunned by the Swordsman in White, felt an extreme shock.
He had thought his own Swordsmanship was already extremely remarkable and, bolstered by the Cold Ice Power, belonged to an invincible existence within his level.
However, at this moment, the Swordsman in White’s seemingly unremarkable sword stroke had completely dissipated all of his Sword Qi.
"Who on earth is this Swordsman in White!"
