391: Chapter 391 The Three Lives Deadly Blade

Wuming's expression froze once again. This time, he didn't even know how to answer; he was left completely speechless!

Seeing that the Blade Emperor had actually been rendered speechless by the Prince of Zhenbei, many martial artists at the scene revealed looks of admiration.

"Bravo!!"

No one knew where the first shout came from.

Immediately following that, bursts of praise erupted throughout the venue.

"His Highness is right!"

"The Prince of Zhenbei's words are exactly what I've been thinking!"

"No matter how arrogant Blade Mountain is, you cannot disregard your fellow martial artists!"

"His Highness is truly worthy of being the number one person in the Central Plains who captured the Northern Barbarians' Shaman Temple and killed the Grand Shaman! He is truly tough!"

Even a Great Grandmaster has to obediently take a scolding in front of him!

The key was that Lin Xiao's words were simple and forceful, deeply winning the hearts of the martial artists.

There was no high-sounding rhetoric, no beating around the bush; right was right, and wrong was wrong!

Because Child Ghost relied on his strength to bully the weak and had a violent, eccentric temperament, many people present were already dissatisfied with him.

If not for the Blade Emperor presiding over the event personally, many of the older generation would have already started cursing.

It is fine for the Tianwu Grand Tournament to be a bit rowdy, and it's no big deal to curse a few times, but you cannot lack even the most basic martial virtue!

Even after the opponent surrendered, you still dealt a heavy blow. Did you come here for a martial arts competition, or to kill people?

If the moral bottom line of the martial arts world is broken, the consequences could be a bloodbath!

To put it plainly, the difference between a hero and a bandit is just a single thought!

If you uphold the moral bottom line, you are a hero; if you lose that bottom line, you are a bandit! Everyone has the right to kill you!

"Wuming, this time, you were indeed in the wrong. Since we are at the Daoist sect, I must say a few words to you."

Old Celestial Master Xiao Dan spoke up at this moment: "Although Child Ghost has a special fate, since he entered Blade Mountain at a young age, as long as you guide him properly, he can still walk the righteous path."

"You must not let him commit a grave error, or it will be too late to turn back, and you will have wasted a good talent for inheriting your mantle."

A bitter smile appeared on Wuming's face. "Yes, Old Celestial Master is right to reprimand me. The Prince of Zhenbei's sharp rebuke has also sobered me up."

"Child Ghost has indeed been too presumptuous. When I return, I will definitely make him turn over a new leaf."

"That is correct."

Old Celestial Master Xiao Dan nodded and said: "Your Highness, I see that the Blade Emperor has realized his mistake. For my sake, let the Tianwu Grand Tournament finals finish first."

Lin Xiao was a bit annoyed. This old man, why are you butting in to smooth things over?

However, Old Celestial Master Xiao Dan certainly did not know that Wuming was a protector of the Moon Worship Cult, so it was normal for him to want to smooth things over.

"Fine, for the sake of the Old Celestial Master, we will let it finish before talking further!"

From beginning to end, Child Ghost stood behind the Blade Emperor without saying a word.

However, Child Ghost's gaze became increasingly cold, especially when he and the Blade Emperor were being criticized by all sides, and the Blade Emperor was being roasted on the fire, unable to step down gracefully.

Child Ghost had followed the Blade Emperor since he was young; when had he ever seen his master, a dignified Great Grandmaster, in such an aggrieved state?

And all of this was because of the Prince of Zhenbei standing before them!

How could a military general who leads troops in battle be so fussy and long-winded?

"Master, I don't want to fight the Prince of Zhenbei anymore."

Child Ghost returned to his seat and said with a gloomy expression.

"There was never any need to; the Prince of Zhenbei's strength is far greater than yours."

Wuming was also feeling aggrieved. With a dark face, he said: "Just steadily take the championship of the Grand Tournament and use your strength to shut them up. Don't think about anything else."

Child Ghost did not speak, but a glimmer of evil light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The break ended.

The final match began.

Leng Bingyan and Child Ghost walked onto the stage together, and immediately various shouts erupted all around, almost all cheering for Leng Bingyan.

Child Ghost's popularity was practically non-existent.

On the Sword Forest viewing platform, everyone was the most excited; after all, for two consecutive sessions, Sword Forest disciples had entered the finals.

"Senior Brother, if Bingyan wins the championship, our Sword Forest will have successfully defended our first-place title in the Tianwu Grand Tournament!" Wei Yurou said with a smile.

"The opponent Junior Sister Leng is facing this time is much stronger than the one I faced last time; it cannot be compared," Gu Jianxin said modestly.

Li Qiner's arm was still wrapped in bandages at this moment. Seeing Leng Bingyan go up on stage, she felt both envious and unable to suppress her excitement, her eyes red.

"Senior Sister! You must be careful!!"

Hearing Li Qiner's voice, Leng Bingyan turned her head to look, smiled, and nodded.

Looking back at Child Ghost, Leng Bingyan's gaze became cold and sharp.

Lin Xiao had already given instructions that she could kill.

Therefore, Leng Bingyan intended to go all out from the very beginning!

"That look... I like it!"

Child Ghost keenly sensed Leng Bingyan's killing intent, and instead of being angry, he was happy.

"Let's not waste any more time. My Three Lives Death-Severing Blade has never been unleashed at full power; let me use you to consecrate the blade!"

Before Child Ghost had even finished speaking, he suddenly used the Dragon Soaring Steps under his feet to close the distance with Leng Bingyan.

Leng Bingyan knew that her opponent had higher aptitude and cultivation not much weaker than her own, so she did not dare to be careless, choosing to retreat and open up as much distance as possible.

But Child Ghost didn't care at all. With an opening stance, his Ghost Head Blade slashed out in an arc, hacking down towards Leng Bingyan's head!

Even though they were still more than ten meters apart, suddenly, a phantom image of Child Ghost swept across this distance and appeared right in front of Leng Bingyan!?

Leng Bingyan's eyes froze; she couldn't believe it. How could Child Ghost produce a "clone"?

Is it an afterimage?

No! That's not right! This blade aura could never be brought about by an afterimage!

Leng Bingyan couldn't worry about too much; she slashed horizontally with her sword with all her might, and a moon-arc-like sword aura parried Child Ghost's blade edge!

"Clang! — —"

The sound of metal clashing!

Leng Bingyan was surprised. She felt something solid? This really wasn't a phantom?

And without waiting for her to think it over, another Child Ghost main body followed up from behind, again hacking with a diagonal, upward-lifting blade strike!

Leng Bingyan's movement technique was even faster; with a nimble dodge, she avoided this second strike.

But just as she was about to stop, a chilling aura made the hair on the back of her neck stand up!

A Child Ghost with blood-red eyes suddenly appeared at the spot where she was about to stop, already holding his blade high with both hands, slashing down at her!

Three Child Ghosts!?

Leng Bingyan perceived that at this moment, three identical opponents had actually appeared on the stage at the same time!

No matter how fast Leng Bingyan's reactions were, she couldn't dodge this time, so she had to spin in mid-air and block the strike head-on with her sword!

"Zing! — —"

The Cold Moon Sword was bent, scraping and forcibly parrying the Ghost Head Blade away.

But this block caused Leng Bingyan to lose her balance, and her body urgently needed a moment to adjust.

And such a moment was fatal!!

"Husband..."

On the viewing platform, Xiao Qingxuan grabbed Lin Xiao's hand, her palms sweating.

Her cultivation level was already that of a Quasi-Great Grandmaster, so naturally, she could see clearly that Child Ghost had already gained the upper hand!

If not for Lin Xiao having made arrangements early on, she would have wanted to step in and stop it.

"Three Lives Death-Severing, severing the past life, severing this life, severing the future life..."

"Refining the blade with one's own three lives of Yin souls; success means one person wielding three blades, failure means the soul dissipates, never to enter reincarnation."

"This blade technique is incomparably sinister and bizarre; I'm afraid Heroine Leng is..."

Old Celestial Master Xiao Dan frowned, just about to draw a conclusion, when he suddenly noticed something wrong?
