Seeing that his continuous attacks had yielded no results, Bai Liao's patience finally broke down, and he couldn't help but get annoyed.
Is this guy using a cheat code to boost his account?!
"How about it?" Linnaeus, holding a sickle, pointed at him and smiled. "Want to try again?"
Bai Liao's eyes turned cold, then he paused, before revealing a sinister and chilling smile: "Hehe, Lin Nai, you're playing with fire... Do you know you're forcing me to kill you?"
Lin Nai narrowed his eyes: "If you can kill him."
"Hmph." Bai Liao spat coldly, his fingers rapidly flashing as he brandished his dagger. "Then you can die!"
The dagger spun rapidly in the center of his palm, dancing like the wind.
He concentrated all his soul power on the blade!
"Shadow Technique - Shadow Leaf Wind Prison Blade!"
This move is Bai Liao's favorite, requiring an extremely strong sense of the blade and very precise control over soul power.
It looked just like an ordinary throwing knife spinning out.
However, in reality, knife skills are inherently simple.
All those fancy techniques are ultimately for that final strike where the blade successfully pierces the opponent's vital parts!
This flying knife strike is powerful enough to slice through a waterfall!
Bai Liao once used this very strike to kill his beloved master, a man of a higher rank...
His master was very strong, far stronger than he was now.
But life is so fragile.
No matter how strong you are, one stab will cause brain death, and you're done for!
"Buzz—"
The white fang drew its sword.
It was incredibly fast, like a shadow, so fast that Lin Nai couldn't even see his hand raise clearly, and couldn't be sure if his hand had moved at all!
Lin Nai's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes widened.
Even with his enhanced vision from activating the Gray Eyes, he couldn't completely capture the trajectory of the incoming blade!
Bai Liao smiled secretly.
This was the most perfect time he used this move!
He had never used it so perfectly before!
In his eyes, Linnaeus was already a dead man.
This move was originally aimed at Lin Nai's throat.
Although this competition does not allow for taking lives...
But Bai Liao didn't care anymore.
However, the expected soft, throat-slicing "plop" sound did not occur...
Lin Nai's eyes clearly didn't react to the attack at all, but his body had already started moving!
As soon as the throwing knife entered Lin Nai's Sword God Domain, he subconsciously raised the hand holding Bai Ye.
The curved blade of the sickle seems to casually flick upwards.
"bite!"
A crisp metallic sound rang out.
The scythe accurately hooked the flying dagger and perfectly neutralized the white fang's spinning force!
The white fang's pupils widened in shock.
How...how is this possible?!
To put it bluntly, his move "Shadow Leaf Wind Prison Blade" is almost a guaranteed kill among those of the same level!
Even he himself couldn't escape it.
Even among the teachers at his school, very few could survive that one cut!
However... Lin Nai caught it so easily?
"You look surprised?" Linnai smiled faintly when she saw the expression on Bai Liao's face.
However, this is not the end.
The white fang's dagger continued to spin rapidly along the white night's scythe...
"Since you like playing with knives so much, here's another surprise for you."
Lin Nai gripped Bai Ye, flicked his wrist, and the dagger on the scythe spun faster and faster at the tip!
The speed gradually increased, "sizzle...sizzle," sparks flew everywhere!
"Shadow Technique - Imitation Shadow Leaf Wind Prison Blade!"
"Buzz—"
Linnai threw the white dagger back at him.
A blinding white light—
It burst forth from the sky!
Its speed was even faster than the throwing knife that Bai Liao had just used!
Bai Liao's pupils contracted, reflecting the afterimage of the spinning Shadow Leaf Wind Prison Blade; he was completely stunned...
He thought he was dreaming...
"Pfft—"
A beam of white light formed by the throwing knife pierced through the white fang's body in an instant!
"......"
Bai Liao's movements froze at that moment. He opened his mouth wide, his neck stiffened as he looked down at his right arm in astonishment.
A faint white line appeared where his right arm connected to his shoulder, and his right arm was separating from his body, eventually falling to the ground with a "thud," with the cut as smooth as a mirror!
A few seconds later, blood gushed out from the incision!
"ah......"
Bai Liao cried out in pain, clutching his right arm, and knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot and his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.
Lin Nai thought to himself, "That strike was indeed terrifying..."
The knife wasn't aimed at Bai Liao's vital spot, otherwise he would surely be dead by now.
Bai Liao was indeed unable to withstand that blow.
Killing other contestants is not allowed in this competition; doing so will result in immediate elimination, and Lin Nai doesn't want to go home so early.
Of course, this move was not actually used by him, but by Shihun.
Linna was merely a robot controlled by a substitute...
"you......"
Bai Liao raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his white hair disheveled, and his body trembling, looking like a ferocious demon: "You... how could you possibly know the Shadow Leaf Wind Prison Blade?! Who taught you that?!"
"Does this even need to be taught?" Lin Nai shrugged, recalling what Ye'er had told him last night, and said matter-of-factly, "Such a simple thing, can't you just take a look and you roughly understand the techniques and principles of soul power circulation?"
Bai Liao: "......"
Lin Nai looked at him in surprise: "What, you haven't been practicing for many years, have you?"
Bai Liao: "......"
Lin Nai: "No way, really?"
"...Linnai, I'll remember this debt!" Bai Liao gritted his teeth, picked up his severed arm and hugged it to his chest, then slowly disappeared into the shadows and fled.
Lin Nai narrowed her eyes and immediately rushed forward, trying to stop him.
Unfortunately, after the white fang burrowed into the shadow, the shadow gradually disappeared as well.
Even if the shadow didn't disappear, Lin Nai wouldn't be able to enter the shadow's world and pull him out.
After all, he had not yet obtained the power of the God of Shadows.
Lin Nai smiled: "You slipped away pretty quickly..."
