Chapter 255: Chapter 159: Let’s Just Make It 1 Move, I’m Afraid Junior Brother Can’t Take a 2nd Move

Perhaps Thousand Sects Island still possessed such peerless monsters, but they certainly wouldn’t be these ten from the Beardless Sect.

However, as soon as Jiang Hao said this, Lin Huai’an froze on the spot. A moment later, he caught the underlying meaning in the youth’s words.

"Hehe, Eldest Senior Brother is indeed Eldest Senior Brother. Even the way you speak is different."

Obviously, the remark had ignited Lin Huai’an’s desire to fight, even making him feel as though he were being underestimated.

It wasn’t just Lin Huai’an; the moment they heard those words, the expressions of hundreds of thousands of Beardless Sect disciples and numerous Elders underwent subtle changes.

"What arrogance."

"Does he think Senior Brother Lin is an ordinary Cultivator? Does he think he’s invincible just because he killed three Great Powers of Transcendence?"

"What’s wrong with this Eldest Senior Brother? Why does he seem so ignorant of the world?"

"That’s Senior Brother Lin! What did he mean by that? Does he think Senior Brother Lin can’t even last one move against him?"

"Too arrogant. I admit our Eldest Senior Brother is quite handsome, but this is a bit too much."

At this moment, countless disciples slowly shook their heads, feeling that the youth was being overly confident.

Even the towering figures atop the Elder Immortal Palace couldn’t help but shake their heads. Was this really the Eldest Senior Brother of the Beardless Sect that the Sect Leader and the two Supreme Elders had sought out?

In the center of the arena, Jiang Hao kept his smile and slowly opened his palm. "Junior Brother Lin, make your move."

Seeing this, Lin Huai’an raised an eyebrow, a breath of stifled anger seemingly caught in his chest.

"Good, very good! You really are something, Eldest Senior Brother. Since that’s the case, then allow me to seek guidance from you with just one move. Only one move."

Having said that, he was clearly preparing to unleash his ultimate attack right from the start.

And sure enough, the moment Lin Huai’an finished speaking, an astonishing wave of Transcendent power erupted from his body, his aura climbing higher and higher.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you had better catch this move properly.

"Beardless Sword Technique, Ninth Stance.

"Heaven-Shattering Slash!"

RUMBLE!!!

The instant Lin Huai’an’s voice faded, the winds and clouds over the entire arena abruptly shifted. Endless Transcendent power surged forth, shaking the heavens and the earth. The ancient sword manifesting in his hand vibrated madly, illuminating with thousands of rays of sword light. The moment this terrifying sword might appeared, even the defensive arrays around the arena activated on their own, completely isolating the battleground from the outside world.

Sensing the world-shaking strike, Jiang Hao felt slightly surprised. There was indeed something special about this sword technique.

The moment this strike was unleashed, the faces of hundreds of thousands of Beardless Sect disciples changed drastically. As expected of Senior Brother Huai’an—if they had to evaluate it, their verdict would be: absolutely terrifying!

"Senior Brother Lin is too strong!"

"So terrifying!"

"What a fearsome strike!"

The crowd instinctively cried out in alarm. The might of this strike was such that even a peerless monster wouldn’t dare meet it head-on.

Inside the Beardless Saint Hall.

Master Beardless watched Lin Huai’an’s strike with a face full of smiles, clearly very satisfied. In truth, his purpose in having Jiang Hao establish his dominance had three layers of meaning. First, Jiang Hao indeed needed to conquer that group of disciples. Second, he wanted to see exactly where the youth’s upper limits lay.

As for the third reason... it was, of course, to show him the strength of the Beardless Sect, letting him know that becoming their Eldest Senior Brother was not beneath him.

Just as the crowd marveled at the terrifying strike...

BOOM!!!

Carrying his world-shaking sword might, Lin Huai’an slashed fiercely toward that figure. In the center of the unimaginably massive arena, tens of thousands of feet of Sword Qi shattered the void. If this strike were to land on Xingyue City, it would likely reduce the entire city and its surrounding towns to ashes.

However, just a moment before the terrifying Sword Qi ripped through the void and descended upon the youth in white...

"Junior Brother’s Sword Qi is world-shaking. Truly terrifying indeed."

After speaking, Jiang Hao remained standing with his hands behind his back, not even moving an inch. Yet, in the span of a single thought...

BOOM!

Lin Huai’an, charging forward with his dreadful sword might, suddenly felt the void above his head tremble violently. Immediately after, a spine-chilling force crashed down like a falling mountain.

The moment that crushing weight slammed down...

BOOM!!!

Junior Brother Lin’s tens of thousands of feet of Sword Qi disintegrated in an instant. His entire body looked as if it had suffered a heavy blow, forcing him to change his trajectory and plummet toward the ground.

In a split second...

CRASH!!!

Dust and smoke billowed across the entire arena. Pinned down by an incredibly vast force, Lin Huai’an was pressed flat against the ground, completely immobilized.

Meanwhile, that figure dressed in white still stood there quietly. He hadn’t even waved a hand.

Suddenly...

"What?"
