"Die!"

Tang Yuezhi’s face was icy cold, completely ignoring Lin Bai’s words.

A sword as cold as ice, accompanied by a terrifying Thunderbolt Power, aimed at Lin Bai’s face.

Lin Bai quickly dodged and retreated.

"Thousand Shadow Soul Snatcher!" Tang Yuezhi’s eyes flashed coldly as she brandished her sword, cutting forward. Black Thunderbolts erupted from her body, transforming into sharp swords targeting Lin Bai.

"Great Sun Chasing Skill!" Lin Bai immediately employed his movement technique, swiftly dodging away.

The black Thunderbolts transformed into sharp swords, smashed into the ground, leaving large craters.

"To think you could wield the Black Water Divine Thunder to this extent!"

Lin Bai’s expression was somewhat amazed.

Tang Yuezhi was even angrier. Her successive sword strikes had all been evaded by Lin Bai, making her extremely angry, especially since she sensed Lin Bai’s cultivation was inferior to hers, causing a flush of shame within her.

"If I can’t even deal with a Warrior at the seventh layer of the Death Reversal Realm, how can I compete for the position of City Lord or enter the Sword God Family!" Tang Yuezhi’s thoughts fueled a raging power within her.

"Young Miss, stop!"

Lin Bai shouted again at this moment.

"Enough with all this nonsense!" Tang Yuezhi roared, her whole body erupting with black Thunderbolts, raging furiously, smashing the skies, a destructive force enveloping this small courtyard!

"Ten Directions Annihilation!"

Tang Yuezhi swung her longsword, suddenly stabbing the void.

In a flash, black Thunderbolts surged from her body, descending from the sky.

Ten terrifying black Thunderbolt pillars fell around Lin Bai, exuding a strong killing intent, shattering simultaneously.

A terrifying shockwave rippled outward.

The terrifying black Thunderbolts instantly turned a hundred meters of the surroundings into ruins, leaving a hundred-meter-deep crater on the ground, showcasing the astonishing power of this divine technique!

Under this divine move, Lin Bai appeared extremely disheveled, his white robe shattered, his flesh charred, as if struck by Five Thunders Strike!

"Not dead yet?" Tang Yuezhi gazed at Lin Bai with some surprise.

Lin Bai’s expression turned cold as he said calmly: "It seems the Young Miss doesn’t intend to listen to me today. If that’s the case, I’ll have to defeat you first, then talk!"

"Apologies, Young Miss!"

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai’s body was enveloped by a strong tri-color aura, accompanied by a Heaven-reaching Sword Intention emanating from him.

"Zhanlong Drawing Sword Skill!"

A sword was angrily slashed, its sword light tearing through the heavens.

Facing this descending sword strike, a trace of shock appeared on Tang Yuezhi’s delicate face.

She quickly deployed black Thunderbolts to form a shield ahead.

"Black Water Divine Thunder’s body protection technique!" Lin Bai observed this scene with familiarity. The Qingmu Divine Thunder under Lin Bai’s control often served as his body protection technique.

Seeing Tang Yuezhi use Black Water Divine Thunder for protection now, Lin Bai couldn’t help but smile slightly.

His sword struck the Thundershield, shattering it.

Tang Yuezhi’s body shook a few times, stumbling back several steps!

At the same time, Lin Bai stepped out, the speed of the Great Sun Chasing Skill carrying him across a hundred meters of sky, heading straight for Tang Yuezhi.

"Courting death!" Tang Yuezhi’s face turned icy, brandishing her longsword, black Thunderbolts surged toward Lin Bai.

Just as Tang Yuezhi was about to fight Lin Bai to the death.

Suddenly, Tang Yuezhi’s face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

The black Thunderbolts surrounding her quickly dissipated.

Tang Yuezhi’s delicate body fell from mid-air, like a fallen angel.

Lin Bai’s sword was about to reach Tang Yuezhi, only to find she had collapsed on the ground, her white, pink skin cracking open, blood gushing out. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

It seemed a force within her was uncontrollably destroying her body!

Lin Bai hurriedly withdrew his sword, landing before Tang Yuezhi.

"What’s happened?"

Lin Bai inquired with surprise.

Tang Yuezhi lay on the ground, blood flowing from her cracked skin, her body lightly trembling, her eyes coldly glaring at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai didn’t heed Tang Yuezhi’s gaze, squatted down, and reached out to examine her situation.

"Don’t touch me!" Tang Yuezhi saw Lin Bai reaching out and immediately spat angrily: "You scoundrel, you’re lucky I didn’t kill you today!"

Tang Yuezhi roared at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai hesitated, but didn’t retract his outstretched hand.

Before Tang Yuezhi, Lin Bai’s hand pressed between her chest, a gentle spiritual power flowing from his palm, probing her internal condition.

Tang Yuezhi, ashamed and enraged, glared at Lin Bai’s hand on her chest, angrily growling: "I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you..."

Since childhood, Tang Yuezhi was the darling of the Tang Family. Not to mention being touched by a man, if a man came within three steps of her, she would despise him.

Now that Lin Bai’s hand was directly on her chest, how could she not be furious!

Lin Bai ignored Tang Yuezhi, eventually withdrawing his hand, then retrieving the Demonic Sword into his Storage Bag, as Tang Yuezhi was no longer a threat.

After stowing away the Demonic Sword, Lin Bai chuckled: "You better save your strength. In your current condition, you can barely even talk, let alone kill me!"

Tang Yuezhi glared viciously at Lin Bai. If she could move, she would have pounced on him to tear him apart!

During Lin Bai’s inspection of Tang Yuezhi, he discovered the Black Water Divine Thunder continuously circulating, destroying her Dantian and bones, beyond her control.

Her body was paralyzed under the Black Water Divine Thunder’s power, leaving her immobile except for her eyes and mouth.

"Without the Five Elements Divine Pill..." Lin Bai remarked softly.

During the inspection of Tang Yuezhi, Lin Bai was surprised to find... Tang Yuezhi lacked the Five Elements Divine Pill. Though her Divine Elixir was quite strong, it wasn’t the Five Elements Divine Pill!

"Without the Five Elements Divine Pill, forcibly cultivating Black Water Divine Thunder and recklessly attacking caused her body to recoil from the Thunderbolt and end up like this!" Lin Bai analyzed the situation and understood why Tang Yuezhi had become like this.

Lin Bai’s cultivation of "The Great Five Elements Secret Skill," the foundational part of the "Scripture of Five Elements," primarily aimed to condense the Five Elements Divine Pill!

The Five Elements Divine Pill was crucial for later cultivation of the "Scripture of Five Elements."

Evidently, Tang Yuezhi hadn’t cultivated "The Great Five Elements Secret Skill," but directly cultivated "Black Water Divine Thunder Skill," leading to reckless Thunderbolt usage without the Five Elements Divine Pill, ending in disaster.

That was why Tang Yuezhi was in this state!

She... succumbed to the Black Water Divine Thunder’s backlash!

Ps: Many readers ask why there hasn’t been any extra updates!

There are still 12 updates owed, Emperor Sword One always remembers.

I originally planned to complete all the owed updates before March, but writing twenty thousand words daily is much harder than Emperor Sword One imagined!

Additionally, the story just moved to the Northern Continent, requiring plot development, slowing down the writing pace.

But rest assured, Emperor Sword One will definitely make up the owed 12 updates!

Sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone, Emperor Sword One feels deeply apologetic!
