All the warriors held their breath and focused intently on this martial arts competition.

Lin Bai had already won two consecutive matches, and Ghost Messenger also displayed remarkable fighting prowess in the first match.

Now, all the warriors were looking forward to these two.

Especially Madam Yang in the Elegant Pavilion, Ghost Messenger was originally handpicked by her to send to the Fighting Arena as the Undefeated General. She had great trust in Ghost Messenger’s strength.

"Please." From beneath the mask, Lin Bai’s cold eyes looked at Ghost Messenger and said flatly.

But unexpectedly, beneath Ghost Messenger’s mask, his eyes were even more indifferent than Lin Bai’s.

Seeing those eyes, Lin Bai suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if these eyes regarded people not as human opponents, but as animals to be slaughtered at will!

In that instant, Ghost Messenger said no unnecessary words, stepped out, and his figure morphed into a series of shadows rushing towards Lin Bai. He was incredibly fast, reaching Lin Bai in the blink of an eye.

"So fast!" Lin Bai’s pupils underwent a shocking change.

At that instant, Ghost Messenger formed his five fingers into claws, aiming for Lin Bai’s throat. If those claws seized Lin Bai’s throat, it would undoubtedly crush it in an instant.

Lin Bai hurriedly dodged backwards.

Ghost Messenger’s speed was extraordinary, but Lin Bai was not slow either.

Seeing Lin Bai slip away, a hint of astonishment flashed in Ghost Messenger’s eyes, but it quickly turned indifferent as he swayed his figure, rushing towards Lin Bai. In an instant, Waning Shadows filled the Fighting Arena, all belonging to Ghost Messenger!

These shadows came rushing towards Lin Bai from all directions, like a deadlock encircling Lin Bai together.

Lin Bai looked up, at the sky, underground, in front, behind, everywhere, it was filled with Ghost Messenger’s black shadows, extremely terrifying!

At the same time, those shadows all wielded a black short sword, stabbing towards Lin Bai.

"It’s an assassin!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed.

Seeing such a strange movement technique and the black short sword in Ghost Messenger’s hand, Lin Bai instantly associated it with a top assassin from some assassin organization.

"With his skill, he should be considered a top strong one within the assassin organizations on the Northern Continent."

"But why would such a level of assassin return to the Fighting Arena in Black Water City?"

A hint of doubt emerged in Lin Bai’s heart.

However, by now, those shadows had already reached Lin Bai. Countless shadows wielded swords sharp beyond compare, slashing down, and Lin Bai hurriedly executed his movement technique to retreat!

And just as Lin Bai retreated, his entire body’s spiritual power vibrated in unison, condensed onto his fist. Lin Bai, with a fierce expression, launched a punch into the void in front of him.

"Shatter!"

The powerful spiritual power transformed into waves of rippling energy spreading out.

These ripples collided with the shadows, and with a thunderous sound, each shadow was reduced to nothingness under the ripples.

On this Fighting Arena, thousands of shadows were shattered by Lin Bai’s single punch.

Lin Bai also found Ghost Messenger’s true body.

"Kill!" As Lin Bai found Ghost Messenger’s true body, he flew forward, continuously punching towards the front, fist light like raindrops smashing towards Ghost Messenger.

And Ghost Messenger also unleashed his unmatched and strange movement technique, swiftly evading Lin Bai’s fist light.

The two went back and forth, forming a stalemate in the Fighting Arena.

The great battle continued for several thousand rounds, yet no victory or defeat was decided.

"How wonderful!"

"This duo’s great battle is so intense!"

"Spectacular, this is completely not inferior to a fierce battle between a ten-win fighter!"

"Mad, it’s a pity this is a newcomer fighter’s assessment, so no betting is allowed. Otherwise, I would definitely place a bet on Ghost Messenger, Ghost Messenger will surely win!"

"Not necessarily, I actually put more faith in Sword Demon!"

The warriors on the spectator stand exclaimed one after another.

In the Elegant Pavilion.

Madam Yang frowned, watching the arena strangely.

While the few flower boys beside her said, "Wow, who would have thought Sword Demon’s strength is so strong, able to fight Ghost Messenger to a draw!"

"Indeed, very strong!"

"Ghost Messenger was a well-trained assassin from a young age, surviving at his hands is not easy, yet Sword Demon is now fighting him!"

The few flower boys were ecstatic in their hearts.

They wished Lin Bai would kill Ghost Messenger now!

In the arena.

The situation was once again at a standstill.

At this moment, Lin Bai punched a shadow of Ghost Messenger to pieces, while his true self retreated a hundred meters, coldly watching Lin Bai.

From beneath the mask, Lin Bai’s icy eyes gazed at Ghost Messenger, coldly speaking: "Do you know your assassin organization’s cultivation skills have a fatal flaw?"

This was the first time Lin Bai spoke after fighting Ghost Messenger for several thousand rounds.

Ghost Messenger said nothing, silently watching Lin Bai.

Lin Bai said, "That flaw is all the cultivation skills your assassin organization practices focus on one sword to kill instantly. It is most feared by warriors, but it is also your shortcoming!"

"Once that instant-kill move fails to defeat the opponent, you can only temporarily retreat."

Lin Bai sneered coldly.

"Now, put away those flashy shadows!" Lin Bai looked seriously at Ghost Messenger, with a killing intent and overwhelming power gathering in his eyes, coldly saying: "It’s time to end this!"

Suddenly!

Lin Bai stepped forward, rushing towards Ghost Messenger.

A punch aimed directly at the top of Ghost Messenger’s head.

At this moment, a hint of surprise flashed in Ghost Messenger’s eyes, but then more of his gaze showed fear and timidity.

Ghost Messenger seemed to make a difficult decision in the lightning and flint.

He gritted his teeth, shook his short sword, and stabbed towards Lin Bai!

"Instant-kill sword!"

Ghost Messenger called out in his heart.

This was the instant-kill sword the assassin organization relied upon.

This sword, once executed, is destined to kill the opponent!

Swish—

Lin Bai and Ghost Messenger rapidly approached each other, and at the moment of their close encounter, Lin Bai’s fist fiercely smashed down, precisely hitting Ghost Messenger’s heart.

Meanwhile, Ghost Messenger’s short sword pierced into Lin Bai’s abdomen, blood splattered everywhere!

With a thud!

Lin Bai and Ghost Messenger both flew backward!

Lin Bai landed a hundred meters away, his black robe stained with blood, but soon, Lin Bai stood up from the ground.

Meanwhile, Ghost Messenger landed hundreds of meters away, collapsed on the ground, barely alive, the life in his eyes gradually faded, muttering: "I lost... Sorry, Madam Yang!"

After speaking, Ghost Messenger closed his eyes and died.

"Bravo!" In mid-air, Ning Zheng exclaimed, his gaze towards Lin Bai filled with appreciation, smiling as he said: "That courage, that bravery, is proof of your strength."

"Sword Demon, you are a strong one!"

Ning Zheng looked at Lin Bai, praising.

Lin Bai’s face was pale, glancing down at the sword marks on his abdomen, his heart still somewhat anticipated!

On the spectator stand, many warriors who noticed something were looking at Lin Bai and said: "Such a magnificent martial arts competition!"

"Indeed, Sword Demon is definitely not a pushover!"

"Sword Demon is very strong!"

"Seniors, what are you talking about? I didn’t understand at all!"

"Sword Demon and Ghost Messenger clashed with fists, it was purely a victory of strength, why do you all say Sword Demon far exceeds Ghost Messenger?"

Many warriors couldn’t understand, frowning and asking.
