Peerless Taoist

However, he quickly stood up and gritted his teeth as he said, "It seems like you've obtained some sort of fortunate encounter this year, or else you wouldn't have made such progress."    

Ling Hong snorted disdainfully.    

A year ago, he almost crushed Gao Lin under his feet.    

Another year passed. Gao Lin was still the same. Apart from his more gaudy moves, he didn't make any substantial progress.    

"It seems like only when I appear will I be able to suppress you." Zhang Jianbai, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.    

He wore a white robe and carried a sword pouch on his back. Like an immortal from the heavens, he slowly walked onto the arena.    

Ling Hong closed his eyes and said proudly, "My target today is not the two of you. Show me your most powerful move."    

He didn't put Zhang Jianbai in his eyes at all.    

Zhang Jianbai frowned and said, "I advise you to be more careful. My sword is different from Gao Lin's."    

Ling Hong said indifferently, "I have experienced your sword techniques a year ago. There is nothing worthy of my attention."    

His defense was unbreakable. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to break it.    

Although Zhang Jianbai was slightly stronger than Gao Lin, he wouldn't be much stronger.    

"Alright, you asked for it!"    

Zhang Jianbai shouted angrily: "The Dao gives birth to ten thousand swords!"    

As soon as he waved his long sword, ten thousand streams of sword qi immediately appeared and pierced towards Ling Hong.    

Not only were these sword qi exceptionally sharp, there was also a trace of Dao Charm hidden within. Being trapped in this majestic sword qi, one would be in danger of dying if one was not careful.    

Ling Hong sneered and took a step forward. Instantly, the magical power in his body expanded to the extreme.    

Boom!    

Accompanied by a loud sound, Zhang Jianbai's sword qi stopped half a meter away from Ling Hong and couldn't move at all.    

"Sword of Devastation!" Seeing that he couldn't break Ling Hong's defense, Zhang Jianbai changed his sword movement again.    

This time, the sword qi condensed into one point and attacked Ling Hong's defense fiercely.    

Under the attack of the powerful sword qi, Ling Hong finally took a few steps back with great difficulty.    

"Ho Ho. You are much stronger than Gao Lin." Ling Hong sneered and said, "However, that's all."    

Ling Hong suddenly gave up on defending. He strode around Zhang Jianbai and slapped him hard.    

Zhang Jianbai hurriedly held his sword to block the attack. However, he was hit by the heavy force. He retreated several meters backward and almost fell out of the ring.    

Shocked, he hurriedly held his sword behind his back to prevent himself from leaving the ring.    

However, Ling Hong didn't give him the chance.    

Bang!    

Ling Hong punched again and sent Zhang Jianbai flying.    

"You and Gao Lin are still the same as last year. You only know how to talk. You are so weak." Ling Hong sneered.    

The surrounding disciples of the Floating Snow Sect who were watching also burst into laughter.    

This was the so-called Ultimate One Dao Sect, the number one and number two of the outer circle rankings.    

In the hands of Ling Hong, they didn't even manage to persist for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before being defeated one after another.    

Zhang Jianbai said indignantly, "You must have swallowed some kind of secret medicine. Otherwise, you absolutely won't be my match!"    

Ling Hong sneered. The way he looked at Zhang Jianbai was even more full of contempt.    

This kind of person who would only find excuses for himself was not worthy to be his opponent at all.    

"The rest of you, let's attack together. I'm too lazy to come again and again." Ling Hong said disdainfully.    

Apart from Lu Yu, the other eight people present all looked at each other in dismay.    

Zhang Jianbai couldn't help but shout from below, "He said. What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and go!"
