C2230 Unforeseen Decisions
"You still want to go through the Crusade again? It seems like your Holy Church has already forgotten the lesson that I taught you. You actually want to go all the way to Hua Xia and take charge of this place? You must be dreaming!" "I would like to see whether you guys will lie down horizontally if you walk in vertically or whether you will be able to occupy this place alive and well!"
Looking at Kade lying on the ground, staring at the skies with lifeless eyes, Lin Bai silently murmured in his heart.
However, although there was no fear in his heart, his mind was still in turmoil. Through the secrets in Kade's memories, he was able to sense the changes in the Western world, especially the changes in the Holy See. Perhaps, the changes in the Church had already far surpassed his imagination, and the faith and will power to practice was undoubtedly a shortcut. Not to mention, the Church's accumulation over the years had long since reached an unimaginable level.
There might even be someone in the Church who was capable of fighting with him!
Moreover, Kade didn't have a high position in the Holy Church. He couldn't figure out too many secrets of the Holy Church. No one knew how far the Holy Church had gone in the excavation of the ancient era!
Even so, Lin Bai was not afraid. No matter how great the changes that occurred in the Church, in this world, power was still the law! The Western world was strange, but the Chinese martial arts were not inferior to it. He was able to make a name for himself in the hidden world where heroes lurked, so how could he be afraid of the Church's unlucky clowns?
However, unlike Lin Bai, after Kade's last words, many people in the arena revealed worried expressions. They even began to think of a way out for themselves.
The strength that Kade had displayed in this battle could be seen by everyone. No matter who it was, they would not dare to underestimate him. If what Kade said was true and the Church really intended to carry out the Crusade, then they had to prepare for it.
The development of the situation was getting more and more exciting. It was not just the Chinese side that was fighting, even the western sects had also joined in. It had to be said that the time now was truly a great struggle for strangeness!
"Come on, come on! I am really looking forward to see just what kind of experts your Western Taoism will send out! And among those people, could there be the Holy Maiden Lao Shi? I really can't wait for their purification! "
While everyone in the arena was feeling anxious and worried about the possible impending crisis, Lin Bai, who was on the stage, kicked Kade's body into the distance with his feet. His expression was indifferent as he spoke coldly.
As his voice fell, the entire arena was completely silent. Those people who had been trembling with fear because of the Crusader East War, could not help but feel a chill in their hearts! This lord was truly a fiend. Could it be that to him, destroying the Qing Hui Sect was not enough to vent the fiendish intent in his heart? Even something like the Crusade of the East was something he looked forward to!
And judging from his calm demeanor, it seemed as if he was talking about something ordinary. It was as if he didn't realize that if the Crusades of the East had happened, a terrifying storm would have broken out!
What kind of astonishing presence was this, and what kind of strength must have been required to be able to support him, speak such words without fear of breaking the heavens, and who on earth could stop his footsteps?!
While everyone in the arena was trembling with fear and unable to speak because of Lin Bai's heroic words, other than Xu Wusang, the rest of the people in the arena had also come to an end. The final battle had already been announced.
The dispute between Ling Zi and Gu Mei Er ended with the defeat of Gu Mei Er. This legendary child of god indeed didn't disappoint those who thought well of him. The methods he used were still very strange and he easily defeated Gu Mei Er!
After Li Hu and the young man experienced a crazy battle between water and fire, in the end, Li Hu still lost because of Li Hu's regret that he was lacking in one move. However, he did not get any benefits from the young man. The young man who was originally as arrogant as a fighting rooster was now covered in mottled scars from being burned by the flames, looking as desolate as a drowning dog.
Although they had luckily won, it didn't make sense to say that both parties had suffered heavy losses. There wasn't any excitement on the young man's face, only an unconcealable sense of peace and respect.
The reason was very simple, because based on the injuries he had suffered, he did not have the strength to continue the competition. Even if he was forced to fight, it would only be to increase his chances of winning by choosing his opponent!
What was even more astonishing was the fact that it was a battle between that woman and that mysterious middle-aged man.
Originally, everyone thought that the battle between these two would be the most brilliant battle apart from the one between Lin Bai and Kade. But what surprised everyone the most was that after the mysterious middle-aged man exchanged blows with the Goddess, the match only lasted for a short span of a few breaths before he directly jumped down from the stage and announced his abstention!
This result was truly unacceptable to everyone present. Especially those who had bet a lot on the mysterious middle-aged man during the gambling match. They were all jumping and cursing nonstop.
However, even if they were unwilling, the rules of the competition were still here. As long as you forfeited, you would no longer have the qualifications to participate in the Large Competition. This was a rule that everyone had to follow.
As for those people who were preying on the Goddess, they were all extremely excited. And when they looked at the mysterious middle-aged man, there was a lot of goodwill on their faces. In their eyes, this mysterious middle-aged man must have been moved by the beauty of the goddess, which was why he had given up so easily!
After the outcome of the battle, the atmosphere suddenly froze. Even the attention paid to the 'Crusader's East Battle' that Kade had thrown out had been greatly reduced.
The competition was nearing its end. Although there were still five people on the current arena, in reality, the young man who had suffered a great loss under Li Hu was already negligible.
As long as these few people continued to compete, the top two of this Large Competition would be revealed. At that time, the final winner of this Large Competition would emerge from the water!
"Senior, it should be our turn now, right?" He clasped his hands at Lin Bai and said in a deep voice, "I just don't know if Senior, you need some time to rest. If you need, I can wait for a little while, then challenge Senior!"
"I don't need to rest," he said. "Come on in and fight. I've been waiting for you for a long time!" When Lin Bai heard this, he smiled indifferently and took a step back.
To be honest, he truly wanted to see what outstanding aspects the person called second place, Xu Wusang, had on him, and how much comprehension he could gain after experiencing his earlier suggestion.
As soon as Lin Bai's words came out, everyone on the scene couldn't help but suck in a cold breath! None of the people present were blind. Everyone could tell that in the previous round of the competition, only the match between Lin Bai and Kade had been the main highlight of the competition. Even the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation had been brought down.
However, even after experiencing such a tragic battle, Lin Bai had actually directly accepted Xu Youfan's challenge, even saying that he didn't even need the time to adjust his breathing! What did this mean? This meant that in the previous match, Lin Bai had actually not used his full strength. That match had not caused any damage to his foundation!
[What is this man's cultivation? How is he so powerful?] In that moment, sounds of gasps filled the air as everyone turned to look at Lin Bai with expressions of shock in their eyes.
When Lin Bai said this, Xu Qiufan's sword-like eyebrows twitched. Although there was a look of surprise on his face, his fighting spirit did not decrease in the slightest!
"Brother Xu, please wait …" He cupped his hands towards Lin Bai and Xu Ruo Fan, then said in a deep voice: "I also want to fight with senior and experience senior's skills. I wonder if Brother Xu can give me this opportunity to ask senior for advice first!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingfan's brow immediately wrinkled! Previously, when he wanted to fight with Lin Bai, Kade had snatched the initiative. Now that Kade was dead, it was finally his turn. However, Ling Zizai had interfered with this matter. How could this not make him depressed?
"You want to fight me too?" After he glanced over Ling Zizai, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He then turned to look at Goddess Dazzling Spring and said indifferently: "Descend, can we discuss this round? Leave this round of the competition to me, let me fight these two young Fellow Daoists, shall we fight again next?"
When the voice came out, the already noisy crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone's face was filled with astonishment.
Regardless of which one of them it was, none of them could have imagined that Lin Bai would make such a decision! It had to be known that in this competition, if one was weaker than the other, they could save a bit of strength for their own bodies. Everyone wanted to be weaker than the other!
But Lin Bai was great. Not only did he not even need to adjust his breathing, he even accepted Xu Wusang's invitation to fight. He even wanted to compete with Ling Zizai! And from his words, he was certain that he had to enter the final phase. Where did he get his confidence from?!
