"Great Wave Sand Filtering Palm!"
The overwhelming momentum radiating from Sha Xing was like the raging roar of the Vast Ocean, massive waves carrying grit and gravel beneath them, surging towards the sky.
Channeling True Qi into his dual fists, Sha Xing pushed forward with all his might.
Sword Qi collided with Sha Xing.
In an instant, Sha Xing was sent flying by the Sword Qi, crashing down ten meters away, leaving a large crater on the ground.
Sword Marks were left on Sha Xing’s body, from which blood was pouring out at that moment.
Sha Xing was extremely miserable and had completely lost the confidence he had just shown, high above, looking down on all beings.
Lin Bai was startled when he realized that Sha Xing was not dead, and paused in confusion for a moment.
"If he’s not dead, then let me send another sword his way."
Lin Bai’s eyes flickered with a chilling intent to kill in that moment. He hoisted his sword, his sword intention soaring to the skies, charging towards Sha Xing.
Seeing Lin Bai coming to kill him again, Sha Xing cursed internally.
Lin Bai’s sword in that previous moment had made Sha Xing pay a heavy price.
Now with Lin Bai sending another sword his way, Sha Xing knew he was powerless to stop it.
Compared to the allure of a Sixth-Grade Spirit Tool, Sha Xing had realized that his end was nigh. A strong desire to escape filled his heart. He lost all desire to keep fighting Lin Bai, turned around, and was about to leave the trading ship.
"He couldn’t even defeat this pretty boy despite using the Great Wave Sand Filtering Palm."
"My God! The Great Wave Sand Filtering Palm is an Earth Grade 8 martial technique, right? He couldn’t even stop this guy’s sword."
"Oh no, our young sect master is running away."
The disciples of the Frenzied Shark Sect yelled out in surprise when they saw Sha Xing turning around to run.
Lin Bai’s attack missed, and when he looked again, he saw Sha Xing heading straight for his large ship.
"Hahaha, little guy, you can’t kill me today. Once I figure out your roots, I will exterminate your entire family, capture you, and let you watch as I crush the bones of every relative in your family."
"I’ll let you see how I torture every woman in your family."
"Just wait for death."
Having escaped death, Sha Xing burst into crazy laughter.
Hearing these words, Lin Bai was engulfed in rage.
"Seeking death!" Lin Bai cursed lowly, took a step forward, and wings of wind and thunder sprouted from his back as he took off into the sky, shooting straight towards Sha Xing.
"What! You can fly!" Sha Xing uttered in disbelief.
"Divine Power! Gentle Sword!"
Lin Bai’s eyes gleamed with a chilling murderous intent.
He furiously swung his sword, and the light of the Sword Qi that pierced heaven and earth was as bright as the Bright Moon in the dark sea.
At this moment, all the warriors stopped fighting, attracted by this brilliant Sword Qi. They all turned to look and perfectly saw Lin Bai furiously slay Sha Xing with that sword.
Sha Xing felt the chilling sensation of death in this sword, as if it were the fangs of the grim reaper.
The fear of death made Sha Xing scream incessantly.
One sword came down, and the Sword Qi split Sha Xing’s body into two in mid-air before it fell into the sea, immediately swallowed by Evil Sharks.
"The... the young sect master is dead!"
"Did the young sect master at the Fifth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm just die ?"
"What do we do now? The Young Sect Master is dead."
All the warriors of the Frenzied Shark Sect that had followed Sha Xing were astonished.
Without their leader, these warriors were like dragons without a head, unsure if they should continue the battle.
Old Zhang and the Poisonous Widow had also died at the hands of Lin Bai.
All the leaders on the large ship were dead.
Only these meager underlings remained, bewildered for a moment.
Lin Bai arrogantly floated in mid-air, his eyes filled with fury, he roared, "If you don’t want to die, get out of my sight!"
This angry roar reverberated in all directions.
All disciples of the Frenzied Shark Sect were utterly terrified.
"We’re leaving. We’re leaving."
"This guy is a monster, he could kill the young Sect leader at the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer. Run quickly."
In an instant, over a thousand disciples of the Frenzied Shark Sect who had initially attacked the trading ship, all retreated back to the large ship and vanished into the horizon at an alarming speed.
Most of these disciples of the Frenzied Shark Sect used to be pirates who joined the Sect out of desperation for survival and followed the Strong One for sustenance.
Their sense of belonging and pride towards the Frenzied Shark Sect paled in comparison to that of the warriors of the Four Major Sects.
At this moment, after the death of Sha Xing, they feared that Lin Bai could initiate a killing spree, causing them all to die at his hand.
These pirates, in order to survive, could resort to anything.
However, Lin Bai had no intention to kill them all.
Firstly, given there were over two thousand disciples of the Frenzied Shark Sect, even if he killed one with every single strike, it would still exhaust Lin Bai.
Secondly, they were on the sea and had just experienced a great battle. Lingering here would attract trouble from other powers.
Having beheaded Sha Xing, the disciples of the Frenzied Shark Sect were left without a leader, reducing their threat by half.
The warriors on the trading ship watched the fleeing members of the Frenzied Shark Sect in awe.
Many warriors from the Treasure Pavilion were ready to stake their lives to kill more enemies.
But at this moment, they were surprisingly out of danger.
"The Frenzied Shark Sect ran away!"
Watching the retreating Frenzied Shark Sect, all the surviving warriors on the trading ship burst into excited cheers.
Huo Shu breathed a sigh of relief, eyeing Lin Bai gratefully.
Lin Bai landed on the trade ship.
"Young man, you are impressive. Even Sha Xing was no match for you."
"Impressive! I, Old Zhang, seldom admire anyone, but today I admire you!"
"Amidst the horde of army, he seized the leader’s head, like a commander."
"Young man, I salute you!"
Survivors who had a narrow escape from death circled around Lin Bai and spoke.
"Thank you, young man, for saving our lives!"
Then, all the warriors respectfully bowed to Lin Bai.
They all knew that if not for Lin Bai who bravely killed Sha Xing, the Frenzied Shark Sect probably wouldn’t have retreated in such a shambles, and they wouldn’t have survived.
Huo Shu walked over solemnly, his eyes full of excitement, "Thank you, young man. If you hadn’t stepped in, I fear we all would’ve died here today."
"Haha, big brother Huo Shu, no need for thanks. After all, I was on the ship, naturally, I couldn’t stand by and watch." Lin Bai casually replied with a smile.
Huo Shu said, "Young man, with your skills, I presume you must have made a name for yourself in Shenwu Kingdom."
"Hehe, I’m just an unknown entity. Big brother Huo Shu, we should get moving quickly. Otherwise, if the Frenzied Shark Sect returns, we’ll be in danger." Lin Bai reminded.
"Right, everyone, full speed ahead. We must reach the City of Thousand Islands by dawn!" Huo Shu regained his senses and quickly instructed everyone.
Immediately, all the warriors began throwing the bodies off the ship, adjusted their course, and sailed at top speed.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai went back to his room to rest.
At dawn, a vast and boundless island appeared on the horizon.
This was the first land Lin Bai had seen since he set out to sea.
This was the City of Thousand Islands.
