Although the five grand masters each have their own territories and seldom interact with each other, as people at the same level, it is inevitable that they have private relationships with each other. Just as Bai Yan and Fazhao are close friends, Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu are also old friends of Yan Huang. In this battle, they had been hiding in the dark and watching for a long time, so they all recognized Lin Dan's martial arts.
Anyone who has refined the Shura Sword to perfection will eventually cause a bloody storm in the martial arts world. They may have been dead for hundreds or even thousands of years, but the horrific memories they left behind in the world have never faded. Not only did Bai Yan's sect leave behind instructions requiring the execution of the successor of Shura Sword, other sects also had similar warnings.
As the Lord of Lianyun City and the best fighter in Dongtang Continent, Bai Yan should have stepped forward to rid the world of evil, but now he firmly protected Lin Dan behind him and said, "You two, come together."
Bai Yan once challenged four veteran grandmasters and won completely, but that was a one-on-one fight, unlike today, where he had two grandmasters coming together. Xiaoyaozi and Wei Quben were still a little afraid, but seeing how arrogant he was, they no longer hesitated. We may not be able to defeat him one by one, but when two of them are together, their fighting power is much more than just one plus one. How can they not be able to defeat him alone?
"Then we won't be humble! Emperor Yun, this devil will sooner or later become a great threat to the martial arts world. The two of us have received the teachings of our sect, so we have to do it ourselves and eliminate this harm for the people. Although our victory this time is unfair, it is also understandable. I hope you will forgive me, and I hope you will not help the evil and protect the evildoers!" Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu still had some face left, so they said some righteous words before attacking.
Bai Yan snorted coldly and faced the enemy head-on.
The three of them were entangled in a fight in an instant. Lin Dan turned his head with difficulty, wanting to see the style of the number one master in the world.
While chanting scriptures, Fazhao set up an indestructible golden bell to protect Lin Dan. The reason why he chose to stand on Lin Dan's side was not because of his friend's advice, but just to follow the call of his heart. He knew that Lin Dan was not a bad person.
Bai Yan looked back at Lin Dan, seeming a little worried, but the battle between grandmasters did not allow for even the slightest slackness. Wei Qu seized his weakness and immediately attacked with a palm, but missed. His body dispersed like mist, but condensed behind Wei Qu the next moment. He only swung out a light palm, but made the opponent spit blood from his mouth. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Xiaoyaozi raised his sword and stabbed, but he hit a cloud instead. Bai Yan was clearly standing in front of him, but he was as ethereal as smoke, without any substance, and disappeared in an instant.
Xiaoyaozi's eyes opened wide with a look of horror. He was about to draw his sword and stab again, but he couldn't find Bai Yan no matter what. He slashed wildly in the air like a madman, and often as soon as he retracted his sword, Bai Yan's shadowy figure appeared at the place where he had originally stabbed. After a long time, he was covered in cold sweat, his face was distorted, and he had lost his mind. He was already showing signs of defeat without Bai Yan actually making a move.
Bai Yan didn't seem to want to waste any more time with him, and suddenly appeared behind him, knocking him to the ground as well. He had been using strange body movements to deal with the two men, and the only moves he actually used were two palm strikes. It took him less than a quarter of an hour to defeat the two grandmasters.
Lin Dan could see through Dugu Hong's Phantom Bagua Step, but was completely unable to see through Bai Yan's body movements. She had no doubt that if Bai Yan got serious, even if the other five grand masters were combined, they would not be his match. This person is very strong, so strong that it is beyond everyone's imagination!
Bai Yan landed lightly on the ground, his white robe was neat and tidy, his hair was smooth, as if he had never experienced any fight. He said slowly: "According to the rules, if I kill you today, all your territories will belong to me. You should know that even if I am cruel, ruthless, and unrighteous, people in the world will not fight against me for you because they don't have the ability to do so."
Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu spat out two mouthfuls of blood in succession, with expressions of hatred and fear on their faces.
"Do not do to others what you do not want others do to you. If you don't want to end up like that, just stay away from you." Bai Yan changed the subject and left a way out for the two.
Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu quickly got up and expressed their gratitude, then supported each other as they walked down the mountainside, where they asked their subordinates to pick them up. From then on, they lay low, not daring to go against Bai Yan, let alone mention the matter of killing Lin Dan. After this battle, not only did they fail to win, but they also learned a horrible fact - Bai Yan's skills had far exceeded the Grand Master level.
"How do you feel?" Bai Yan walked to Lin Dan and wanted to stroke her cheek, but quickly gave up the idea. All the bones in Lin Dan's body were broken, and he didn't dare to touch her casually.
"I'm fine. You should know that my skills can automatically repair the body." Lin Dan said in a light tone. As long as she is alive, no matter how serious the injury is, it doesn't matter to her. She paused and said, "Thank you." If it weren't for Bai Yan and Fazhao, she would have been unable to move after the battle and would probably have become a dead soul in the hands of Xiaoyaozi and Wei Qu.
"I didn't expect the two grand masters to be so despicable and insidious. I've learned a lot." She joked.
The heavy stone in Bai Yan's heart slowly fell to the ground, and he chuckled, "Grandmasters are also human beings, and they have selfish desires. Don't think too highly of them. After you were promoted to Grandmaster, weren't you also too poor to afford food?"
Lin Dan was amused by him, her lips slightly curved, her eyes sparkling.
Bai Yan suddenly looked at her intently, his eyes full of fear and relief. He had already made up his mind that if Lin Dan's life was in danger, he would kill Yan Huang and save her, even if it broke the rules of the martial arts world and even if it would go against the will of the world. But she gave him a great surprise. Not only did she not lose, but she also won by relying on her strong willpower and tricky knife skills. She seemed to have no limits and would always break his inherent ideas again and again.
"This is Lianyun City's holy medicine for healing, the Rejuvenating Pill. I'll feed it to you. This way, you'll get better faster." Bai Yan took out the pill that he had prepared long ago and fed it to Lin Dan, and carefully gave her water.
"Amitabha, the Nirvana Dharma that I practice may also be helpful to you. Please relax and let me help you pass some life." Master Fazhao said in a gentle voice.
Lin Dan refused his help and said decisively: "Master, relieving some anger can indeed ease my pain, but in my opinion, enduring pain is also a kind of practice. Now, in order to make myself more comfortable, I accept the anger you relieved. Then in the future, in order to feel more comfortable, can I kill innocent people indiscriminately? I must get used to this kind of pain. It makes me sober and reminds me that I am me, I am Lin Dan, not some Shura."
Fazhao, who had been somewhat hesitant, was now completely relieved. He put his hands together and said respectfully: "Amitabha, benefactor, you are a person with a predestined relationship with Buddha and wisdom, and I am obsessed with appearances! Now that the matter here is over and the Emperor Yun is protecting us, I will leave first and see you again in the future."
"Goodbye, Master." Just as Lin Dan finished speaking, he saw a group of people climbing to the top of the mountain, and He Yufei, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, also fell behind them.
"We greet Emperor Yun!" The group first saluted Bai Yan, and finally pointed at Lin Dan and said, "Emperor Yun, this witch is practicing the magic Shura Sword. If you still remember the teachings of your master, you should kill her with your own hands!" These people were none other than the elders of Lianyun City. They were also hiding nearby and watching the fight, so they naturally knew the whole story.
The two grand masters could not shake Emperor Yun's ideas, but they were his elders and should be able to persuade him.
But this time they were wrong. Bai Yan took off his outer robe, gently covered Lin Dan with it, and said without turning his head: "You can kill Lin Dan, but you have to get through me first." This was not an agreement at all, it was clearly a disguised way of blocking everyone's way. Let me ask you, in this Dong Tang Continent, who can defeat Emperor Yun, and who can get past his defense and attack Lin Dan? What’s more, even Master Fazhao stepped forward and blocked the seriously injured Lin Dan tightly.
"Emperor Yun, the martial arts she practices will get out of control sooner or later, turning her into a lunatic who only knows how to kill!" The Great Elder said anxiously.
Bai Yan gently held Lin Dan's fingertips, his voice gentle: "I will be with her all the time. If she loses control," he paused for a long time before saying: "I will kill her myself."
After hearing this, Lin Dan was not afraid, but smiled slightly.
Bai Yan couldn't bear to see her smile, so he turned his head slightly, tears in his eyes, and then he said in a hoarse voice, "What qualifications do you have to demand her death? She eliminated the Seven Evils of Jianghu, and destroyed the plague city. She killed the most treacherous and evil people, and saved more than tens of millions of people. You have been famous in Jianghu for decades, but have you ever done anything for the people? The higher you stand, the less responsibility you bear, as if you are superior to others? Compared with her, do you feel ashamed?"
Bai Yan finally turned around and said word by word: "You are not ashamed, but I am! You say she is crazy, but you must know that she lives more soberly than any of you."
Fazhao lowered his head, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, I am so ashamed!"
The Great Elder and the others were so ashamed of what Bai Yan said. Thinking about the East Tang Continent which was more peaceful than ever before, and then looking at Lin Dan who was seriously injured and dying, they finally bowed and left with shame on their faces. Several female disciples were left behind by Bai Yan to take care of Lin Dan. He Yufei hurriedly followed them and refused to leave.
These days, she was extremely uneasy, seeing Lin Dan breaking through to the half-step master level and then being promoted to the grand master. He first defeated the four elders and killed Dugu Hong, and then eliminated the seven evil men. His reputation in the martial arts world was close to that of several veteran grand masters. Even the East Saint Sect was transformed from an evil heresy into a famous and upright sect. She had picked up a huge bargain. She should have thanked Lin Dan, but now, seeing Bai Yan's meticulous care for Lin Dan, she actually wished that he would disappear forever.
Ever since that day when Lin Dan escaped death and got rid of He Chongling's control, she became the deepest thorn in He Yufei's heart.
