C1656 Gift-sword

"Lin Bai!" It was at this moment that Tai Ah's voice suddenly rang out in the silent field. The voice was a little hoarse, as if although it was only two words, it had exhausted all the strength and courage in his body.

Lin Bai slowly turned his head to look at Tai. When their gazes met, it made people feel as if the air in the room suddenly turned cold, and a sense of unexplainable nervousness suddenly arose. However, only Lin Bai could see that the expression in Taia's eyes had changed. He no longer had the arrogance from before, and his entire person had become much calmer now.

"Lin Bai, I admit that this time you won against me, but this victory doesn't mean anything. I will continue to challenge you in the future." After he slowly retracted the killing intent in his eyes, Tai Ah spoke. His voice was filled with determination. Although he was proud of himself, and had been trampled into nothingness by Lin Bai, his determination was still there.

Although he lost this time, he would do his best to work hard and strive his hardest, hoping that he would one day be able to defeat Lin Bai.

"As long as you feel that you can surpass me, you can look for me at any time." After chuckling, Lin Bai was silent for a moment. Then, he raised the rusted sword in his hand and threw it towards Tai'e. He said faintly, "This is something from your Sword Pavilion. Keep it properly."

Although he could tell that the rusted sword on top of the mountain was definitely incredible, as long as he could unravel the secrets within, he could still restore the rusted sword's brilliance and increase its power. But for the current Lin Bai, he had already made up his mind to continue walking down the path of the grandmaster. No matter how incredulous this flying sword was, to him, it was no different than scrap metal.

Moreover, Taia was able to rush all the way to the 573 stone steps in one go, even though it was all for the sake of his illusory pride. However, one could clearly see the perseverance of his heart. Since this flying sword was useless to him, why should he keep it with him? It would be better to give it to someone else.

"This is …" With a metallic sound, he pulled out the flying sword and looked at the rusted flying sword that looked as if it could break at any time. A puzzled look appeared on Tai Ah's face as he looked at Lin Bai and said in a deep voice, "I don't understand what Lin Bai is trying to say."

"Killing is just a head on the ground. It is true that Senior Tai'e lost to you, but why did you give him a rusted sword to disgust him? Don't you feel that your actions were a bit excessive?" Upon seeing this, Long Cai's eyes revealed a look of disgust as she said.

"Long Cai, don't say too much!" Hearing Long Cai's voice, Kunlun hurriedly tried to stop her. However, the way he looked at Lin Bai became somewhat complicated. He really did not expect that Lin Bai would actually play such a trick. Moreover, just as Long Cai had said, wasn't the rusted sword he had given Tai Ah was the rusted sword that looked like it could be touched with a light touch?

Although Lin Bai was the victor, to do something so humiliating was simply a bit too much.

Lin Bai chuckled as he heard this, but didn't say anything. He only looked at Tai'e in silence. He believed that even if Kunwu and Long Cai were unable to see through this, with Taia's cultivation, it was impossible for them to not discover the peculiarity of this rusted sword.

"There's something strange about this sword …" After scanning the rusted sword with his eyes, Taia slowly raised the flying sword in his hand and slashed at the rusted sword. The sword's power was so strong that no one could doubt that even gold and iron would be split in half by the sword.

Clang! However, contrary to everyone's expectations, as the flying sword in Tai'e's hand descended, the tip of the sword was about to slash at the rusted sword, yet the rusted sword did not even tremble the slightest bit. Not only that, there wasn't even a single crack on the rusted and rusted sword, which looked like it was about to break at any moment.

What kind of sword was this? Seeing this strange scene, Long Cai and Kun Wu could not speak. Their eyes were filled with doubt, occasionally looking at the sword, and sometimes at Lin Bai. It had to be known that their methods of dealing with Tai'e were extremely clear. Tai'e sword emphasized the word 'biting cold'. However, such a sharp sword did not cause any damage to the rusted sword at all.

What did this result mean? This meant that this rusted sword was definitely hiding some kind of great mystery, and it was definitely not an ordinary sword. And what made them even more astonished was that the victor, Lin Bai, had actually given such a mysterious sword to his opponent. Furthermore, it was a person who had just sent him a written challenge, an opponent who could come and fight with him at any time.

"This is the flying sword you took from the peak of the Spirit Sword Mountain …" Looking at the rusted but unpredictable sword in his hand, Tai Ah's eyes suddenly revealed a terrified look. He suddenly held the sword with both hands and said with a trembling voice, "This … This is Ancestral Master's sword! "

Ancestor's sword! Hearing this, Kunge and Long Cai immediately revealed an expression of disbelief, their gazes towards Lin Bai became even more astonished. Just as Tai'e had said, at this moment they also realized that in this desolate Sword Tomb, it was impossible for Lin Bai to intentionally obtain a rusted sword to humiliate Tai'e.

Adding to the fact that Lin Baigang had just descended from the top of the Spirit Sword Mountain, there could only be one Rusty Sword. That was, Lin Bai had obtained the rusted sword from the peak of the Spirit Sword Mountain. For thousands of years, no one had ever successfully ascended the Spirit Sword Mountain. This meant that this rusted sword was left behind by the sword pavilion's Martial Ancestor, and it was very likely to be his sword.

After understanding the situation, the rusted and unremarkable appearance of the sword instantly turned mysterious in the eyes of the crowd. As for the crowd, their gazes towards Lin Bai were filled with even more bewilderment. They had no idea why Lin Bai would do such a thing.

They could sense that this rusted sword was extraordinary, but how could Lin Bai not sense it? And how could he not think of it? It was very likely that this rusted sword was the remnants of the Sword Pavilion Martial Ancestor. Even though the longsword was still stained with rust, no one could be sure if it would be able to make the dusty longsword blossom with the luster of the past!

Moreover, they had no doubt that after this flying sword was restored, its power would far surpass all the flying swords in the Sword Pavilion. One must know that this was a legacy from the Sword Pavilion's Martial Ancestor, and the Sword Pavilion's Martial Ancestor was a sword immortal.

However, even though it was such a miraculous item, Lin Bai had no intention of keeping it for himself. Instead, he casually placed it in the hands of his enemies. No matter if it was Tai'e, Long Cai, or Kun Wu, they all believed that they would not be able to achieve such a state of mind.

Could it be that I was wrong, this person is actually not that hateful?! Looking at Lin Bai who was smiling at Tai Ah, Long Cai's heart was filled with doubt. For the first time, she began to struggle and carefully thought about the reason for Ling Yun's death.

If it wasn't for you dying, I would have died. And if Lin Bai wanted to defeat Ling Yun, he would have to strike heavily. Otherwise, he would die at the hands of Ling Yun. According to common sense, towards his mortal enemy, he did not need any pity, and Ling Yun did not need to entrust anything to Lin Bai.

But in the end, Ling Yun entrusted Lin Bai to help him find a more suitable master for the flying sword. The reason for this change must have happened during the battle between the two of them. Lingyun felt like he had died under Lin Bai's hands.

What should he do now? Should he continue to seek revenge, or … For a moment, doubt filled Long Cai's heart, making her absent-minded.

"I cannot accept this sword. It is simply too precious …" After a moment of silence, Tai Ah who was holding onto the rusted sword slowly spoke up. Although his mouth was saying that he would refuse, there was an unconcealable desire in his eyes. This was because this sword was a fatal attraction for all sword cultivators in the Sword Pavilion. Just by thinking about it, one could imagine how glorious it would be!

However, even though he yearned for it, Taia could not help but reject it. This was because this sword did not belong to him, but rather belonged to Lin Bai. Most importantly, Tai'e didn't know whether or not he would have the fighting spirit to challenge Lin Bai in the future if he were to accept this sword.

This was because this sword was truly too valuable, because it had carried the greatest glory of the Sword Pavilion, as well as all of the Sword Pavilion's splendor.

"I am the first teacher, not a sword cultivator. This sword is useless to me. I keep it, but its name is Ming Zhu Meng Chen …" Lin Bai faintly smiled, but he did not take the sword. He only looked at Tai Ah, and said indifferently, "Don't worry, take it. I will definitely not use this matter to coerce you or ask you to do anything. If you want to challenge me in the future, I, Lin Bai, will not hesitate to challenge you! "You can also see it this way. Just think of it as me erecting a sharpening stone for myself. I will use you to sharpen my dao!"

Tai Ah fell silent when he heard this. His expression was a little absent-minded. The words that Lin Bai said in the Spirit Sword Mountain began to echo in his ears again, word by word. At this moment, for the first time, he suddenly felt that perhaps it was just as Lin Bai said, his dao was truly wrong, and the so-called pride that he persevered in in in his heart was ridiculous and laughable.

"Good!" Then, I shall not be courteous and accept this sword! " After a long period of silence, the doubt in Taia's eyes finally disappeared. He held the sword in both hands and gave Lin Bai a formal bow before saying in a deep voice, "Like you said, I will do my best to discover the secrets within the sword of my master, and I will surpass you as soon as possible and obtain the Great Dao before you do!"

"I'm waiting for the day when you let this rusted sword see the light again …" Lin Bai smiled faintly and said noncommittally.

He knew that with Taia's personality, as long as he could find the correct path that belonged to him, he would definitely achieve an unimaginable feat. He might be able to remove the mottled rust on the rusted sword and reappear the world with the cold blade.

However, he was even more clear that even if Tai A really did reach this step, he would absolutely not lose! That was because he had already made up his mind. He had found the true path that he should follow. As long as he persevered, he would not lose!

At this moment, rumbling sounds suddenly rang out in the arena. The originally silent Spirit Sword Mountain suddenly began to tremble violently. The tremors were so intense that it felt like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking. It seemed like he was trying to connect it to some distant space!
