Chapter 1499 - 1498: Lin Bai vs Cheng Batian

Cheng Batian watched the iron rod whistling towards him, his face covered with a look of seriousness!

Another iron rod came attacking from left and right, completely blocking Cheng Batian's sides!

Cheng Batian had no time to think, hurriedly raised the saber in his hand, and then slammed towards the iron rod coming from the right!

A crisp "clang" echoed!

The saber and the iron rod collided, producing a metallic clashing sound!

Cheng Batian had no time to think, quickly ducked his head to dodge the iron rod coming from the left, both iron rods hit the saber simultaneously, clamping the saber tightly!

Lin Bai saw that his attack didn't hit Cheng Batian, but he wasn't anxious. He held onto the iron rods tightly and then pressed downward fiercely!

The blades of the saber clamped by the iron rods dropped, sparking along the way, and falling towards Cheng Batian's head!

This time, with the saber clamped by two iron rods, Cheng Batian found it difficult to counter and had to immediately release the saber's grip!

However, being in the mid-Pill Force stage, Cheng Batian wasn't so easily defeated!

As he was pulling the saber grip, he flicked his wrist forcefully, spinning the saber a half-circle in mid-air, then holding it horizontally!

Cheng Batian rolled on the ground, dodging the double rod attack, then quickly grabbed the saber grip again, swinging his arm wildly to slash at Lin Biao!

"Cheng Family Eight-Blade Technique!"

The roar of Cheng Batian echoed!

The saber fell, with the sharp blade whistling relentlessly towards Lin Fan's head!

Lin Bai flipped his wrist, jolted the iron rod upward, immediately clashing with the saber, producing a crisp "clang"!

This strike from Cheng Batian was extremely fierce; the collision almost broke the iron rod and popped it open!

After one strike, Cheng Batian immediately followed with a second attack!

The Cheng Family Eight-Blade Technique involves slashing eight consecutive blades, each more ferocious than the previous!

In an instant, the air was filled with blade shadows, dense and flickering under the sunlight!

Lin Bai dared not be careless; he firmly held the iron rods, ready to meet the attacks head-on!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

In no time, the air was filled with the constant sharp sound of metal clashing, very shrill!

Under the fierce attack of the eight blades, Lin Bai's iron rod broke into halves!

Despite the iron rods breaking, Lin Bai's hands felt slightly numb from the impact!

Looking at Lin Bai's severed iron rods, Cheng Batian coldly laughed, "Let's see how you battle me now!"

"Who said a broken iron rod can't kill you?"

Lin Bai sneered coldly. With a flick of his toe on the ground, he shot into the air, appearing before Cheng Batian in the blink of an eye. The pieces of the severed iron rods quickly smashed towards Cheng Batian!

Cheng Batian snorted coldly and swung the saber up to block!

It's said that being an inch shorter is more dangerous!

Lin Bai dared not clash head-on with Cheng Batian. As the iron rod swung halfway, Lin Bai suddenly flipped his wrist and removed the force from the iron rod, retracting it!

Meanwhile, the iron rod in Lin Bai's other hand quickly swung up, striking towards Cheng Batian's other direction!

Seeing this, Cheng Batian again swung the saber to intercept!

But, just as before, as the iron rod swung halfway, Lin Bai again removed the force from it, retracting it!

Back and forth, Lin Bai feigned several times, each time retracting the iron rod midway!

With this strategy, Cheng Batian couldn't tell where Lin Bai's attacks truly aimed!

This kind of feint required martial artists to have an extremely high level of skill, as suddenly stopping and retracting while sprinting could easily result in a fractured arm!

But for Lin Bai, this was nothing. From a young age, he practiced this sudden stop and change technique daily with Lin Fan and others!

"Bastard!"

Cheng Batian, fooled multiple times, growled with a face full of rage, feeling toyed with by Lin Bai!

However, when Cheng Batian was about to retaliate, Lin Bai swung the iron rod again, giving Cheng Batian no chance to counter!

Helplessly, Cheng Batian had to swing his saber to block, as the consequences of taking a hit from the iron rod were dire!

Unfortunately, as the iron rod approached Cheng Batian, Lin Bai changed tactics!

His left hand, long prepared, swiftly swung up!

This strike was quick and fierce!

Cheng Batian was out of time to react!

A dull "bang" echoed!

The iron rod solidly smashed onto Cheng Batian's shoulder, shattering the Powerful Qi shielding his body!

Following this, Lin Bai struck repeatedly, his arms swinging like unrelenting machinery!

In moments, Lin Bai unleashed over twenty strikes: some blocked by Cheng Batian, others firmly hitting against Cheng Batian!

Yet, after Lin Bai's broken rod collided again with the saber, it fully shattered, leaving only a small segment in his hand!

"Lin! Let's see how you fight me now! Die!"

Cheng Batian roared furiously and charged at Lin Bai with big strides, gripping the saber handle tightly, ready to strike down towards Lin Bai's head!

"Sssss~"

The sharp blade tore through the void with an ear-piercing sound of blade wind!

However, Lin Bai watched the gleaming saber coming down and didn't dodge; instead, he let himself settle!

This strike was too fierce. If Lin Bai dodged and retreated, Cheng Batian—given his strength—would surely launch a wild attack!

Right now, Lin Bai was unarmed; dodging was too risky!

Thus, Lin Bai had to dodge the blade and counterattack Cheng Batian swiftly!

In a blink, the sharp blade approached Lin Bai's head!

Lin Bai didn't focus on watching with his eyes; due to blade speed and light reflection, it was difficult to discern the blade's distance with the naked eye!

Instead, Lin Bai opted to listen!

By listening to the wind made by the blade, he gauged how far the saber was from him!

"Sss—"

The air tore again, as the blade dropped to Lin Bai's head, now only three to five centimeters away!
