- Chapter 53: Peerless Under Heaven 15
Although the five great Grandmasters each had their own territories and rarely interacted, as people of the same level, they inevitably had private relationships. Just as Bai Yan and Fazhao were close friends, Xiaoyaozi and Weiqu were also old friends of Emperor Yan. In this battle, they had been hiding in the dark watching for a long time, and thus recognized Lin Dan’s cultivation technique.
Every person who refined the Asura blade to its peak would eventually stir up a bloodbath in the Jianghu. They might have been dead for a hundred years or even a thousand years, but the terrifying memories they left for the people of the Jianghu had never faded. Not only did Bai Yan’s sect leave a warning to kill the inheritor of the Asura blade, but other sects also had similar cautionary words.
As the city lord of Lianyung City, and also the number one expert in the Eastern Tang Continent, Bai Yan should have stepped forward to eliminate the harm for the Jianghu, but he was now firmly protecting Lin Dan behind him, saying, “You two come together.”
Bai Yan had challenged four old Grandmasters and won with complete victory, but that was a one-on-one fight, unlike today, where he let two Grandmasters attack together. Xiaoyaozi and Weiqu were still somewhat apprehensive, but seeing him so arrogant, they no longer hesitated. They might not have been sure of winning one-on-one, but with two of them together, their combat power was not as simple as one plus one, how could they not win against him alone?
“Then we will not be modest! Emperor Yan, this demon will sooner or later become a great scourge to the Jianghu. We have received the sect’s instructions, and we have to do it ourselves, to eliminate harm for the people. Although this joint effort is not honorable, it is also understandable, and we hope you will be tolerant, and also hope you will not help the evildoers, and protect the wicked!” Xiaoyaozi and Weiqu still wanted some face, and said some righteous words before attacking.
Bai Yan snorted coldly and faced the enemy head-on.
The three of them were entangled together in an instant, and Lin Dan turned her head with difficulty, wanting to witness the style of the number one expert in the Jianghu.
Fazhao chanted scriptures while erecting an indestructible golden bell, protecting Lin Dan. The reason he chose to stand on Lin Dan’s side was not for his friend’s entrustment, but only to follow the call of his heart. He knew that Lin Dan was not an evil person.
Bai Yan looked back at Lin Dan, seeming a little worried, and the battle between Grandmasters did not allow for the slightest bit of slack. Weiqu seized his weakness and immediately attacked with a palm, but it was an empty move, and his body scattered like clouds and mist, but in the next moment, it condensed behind Weiqu, and only waved a light and airy palm, but slapped the opponent so that he spat bl00d, and slammed to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Xiaoyaozi thrust his sword, but it pierced into a cloud of mist. Bai Yan was clearly standing in front of him, but was ethereal as smoke, without substance, and disappeared in an instant.
Xiaoyaozi’s eyes widened, and his expression was terrified, and when he was about to draw his sword to stab again, he couldn’t find Bai Yan’s figure no matter what. He was slashing wildly in the air like a madman, and often, when he had just retrieved his sword, Bai Yan’s ethereal figure would appear in the place where he had originally stabbed. Over time, he was covered in cold sweat, his face twisted, and he had lost his rationality, without Bai Yan actually making a move, he had already revealed a sign of defeat.
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 a bizarre movement technique to circle around the two of them, and the actual moves he used were only two palms, and the time spent was less than two hours, and he had already defeated the two Grandmasters.
Lin Dan could see through Dugu Hong’s Illusionary Eight trigrams Steps, but couldn’t see through Bai Yan’s movement technique at all. She didn’t doubt that if Bai Yan got serious, he could defeat the other five Grandmasters as well. This person was very strong, so strong that he exceeded everyone’s imagination!
Bai Yan landed lightly on the ground, his white robe neat, his hair smooth, as if he hadn’t experienced any fighting. He said slowly, “According to the rules, if I kill you today, your territories will all belong to me. You should know that even if I am cruel, ruthless, and don’t speak of morality, the people of the world will not come to condemn me for you, because they don’t have that ability.”
Xiaoyaozi and Weiqu successively spat out two mouthfuls of bl00d, and their faces showed expressions of both hatred and fear.
“Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you. If you don’t want to end up like that, then get out of the way in the future.” Bai Yan’s tone changed, and he actually left a way out for the two of them.
Xiaoyaozi and Weiqu quickly got up and thanked him, and then helped each other to the halfway point of the mountain, and then let their subordinates pick them up. From then on, they lay low, and didn’t dare to oppose Bai Yan, and even more dared not mention the matter of killing Lin Dan. After this battle, not only did they fail to win, but they also learned a terrifying fact – Bai Yan’s skill had far exceeded the Grandmaster realm.
“How are you feeling?” Bai Yan walked to Lin Dan’s side, wanting to touch her face, but quickly dispelled the idea. Lin Dan’s bones were all broken, and he didn’t dare to move her casually.
“I’m fine. You should know that my cultivation technique can automatically repair my body.” Lin Dan’s tone was light. Being alive was good, no matter how serious the injury was, it was nothing to her. She paused for a moment and said, “Thank you.” If it weren’t for Bai Yan and Fazhao, she wouldn’t have been able to move after the battle, and she would probably have become the souls under the palms of Xiaoyaozi and Weiqu by now.
“I didn’t expect the two Grandmasters to be so despicable and insidious, I’ve learned a lot.” She made a joke.
The big stone in Bai Yan’s heart slowly fell, and he chuckled, “Grandmasters are also people, and they also have selfish motives, don’t think of them as too noble. After you were promoted to Grandmaster, didn’t you also become so poor that you couldn’t afford to eat?”
Lin Dan was amused by him, and slightly curled her lips, her eyes shining.
Bai Yan suddenly looked at her fixedly, his eyes full of fear and relief. He had thought long ago that if Lin Dan was in danger of her life, even if he broke the rules of the Jianghu, even if he took the risk of being condemned by the world, he would have to kill Emperor Yan and save her. But she had brought him a great surprise, not only had she not lost, but she had also achieved victory by relying on her strong will and cunning sword techniques. She seemed to have no limits, and would always break his existing concepts again and again.
“This is the Healing Elixir, Huichun Pill, of Lianyung City. I’ll feed it to you. Then, you’ll be able to recover more quickly.” Bai Yan took out the medicine he had prepared long ago and fed it to Lin Dan, and also carefully gave her some water.
“Amitabha, the Nirvana Great Law that this poor monk cultivates may also be helpful to the benefactor. Please relax, and let this poor monk impart some vitality to you.” Master Fazhao said gently.
Lin Dan refused his help, and said resolutely, “Master, imparting some vitality can indeed alleviate my pain, but in my opinion, enduring pain is also a kind of cultivation. Now, in order to make myself more comfortable, I accepted the vitality you imparted, then in the future, in order to be more comfortable, could I then kill innocent people? I must get used to this pain, it makes me clear-headed, and it also makes me always remember – I am me, I am Lin Dan, and not some Asura.”
Fazhao, who had been hesitant, was completely relieved now. He put his hands together and admired, “Amitabha, benefactor, you are a person with a Buddha-nature and wisdom, this poor monk has been attached! The matter here is over, and with Emperor Yan protecting you, this poor monk will take a step first, and we will meet again if we have a chance.”
“Goodbye, Master.” As soon as Lin Dan’s voice fell, she saw a group of people ascending the summit, and He Yufei, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time, was also following behind.
“We pay our respects to Emperor Yan!” The group first bowed to Bai Yan, and finally pointed at Lin Dan and said, “Emperor Yan, this demoness cultivates the demonic Asura blade, if you still remember the rules of the sect, you should have killed her!” These people were none other than the several elders of Lianyung City. They had also been hiding nearby to watch the battle, and naturally knew the whole story.
The two Grandmasters couldn’t shake Emperor Yan’s beliefs, but they were Emperor Yan’s elders, and they should be able to persuade him.
But this time, they were wrong, and they saw Bai Yan take off his outer robe and gently cover Lin Dan’s body, and without turning his head, said, “Killing Lin Dan is possible, but you have to pass me first.” This was not a sign of agreement, but a disguised form of cutting off the path of the crowd. May I ask, in this Eastern Tang Continent, who could defeat Emperor Yan, and who could bypass his defense and attack Lin Dan? Moreover, Master Fazhao had also stepped forward, firmly shielding the seriously injured Lin Dan.
“Emperor Yan, the cultivation technique she cultivates will lose control sooner or later, and make her a madman who only knows how to kill!” The Great Elder spoke with a tone of urgency.
Bai Yan gently held Lin Dan’s fingertips, and his voice was gentle, “I will be by her side at all times, and if she loses control,” he paused for a long time before saying, “I will personally end her.”
Hearing these words, Lin Dan not only wasn’t afraid, but smiled.
Bai Yan couldn’t bear to see her smile, and slightly turned his head, his eyes full of tears, and after a moment, he said hoarsely, “What qualifications do you have to demand that she be killed? The seven evils of the Jianghu were eliminated by her, and the plague city’s troubles were destroyed by her, she killed only the great villains, and saved more than countless people? And you, who have been famous in the Jianghu for decades, have you ever truly done anything for the people? The higher you stand, the less responsibility you take, as if you are superior to others? Compared to her, have you ever felt ashamed…?”
Bai Yan finally turned his head, and said word by word, “You don’t feel ashamed, but I do! You say she is a madman, but you must know that she lives more clearly than any of you.”
Fazhao lowered his head and put his hands together, saying, “Amitabha, ashamed, ashamed!”
The Great Elder and the others were so embarrassed by Bai Yan’s words that they couldn’t raise their heads. Thinking about the Eastern Tang Continent, which was more peaceful than ever before, and then looking at the seriously injured and dying Lin Dan, they finally cupped their hands and left with a face full of shame. Several female disciples were left behind by Bai Yan to take care of Lin Dan, and He Yufei immediately followed, and stayed behind.
These days, she was extremely uneasy, watching Lin Dan break through to the Half-step Grandmaster realm, and then advance to the Grandmaster realm, first overpowering the Four Elders, then annihilating Dugu Hong, and later eliminating the seven great evildoers, her reputation in the Jianghu directly rivaling the several old-school Grandmasters, and even causing the Eastern Saint Cult to transform from a heretical sect to a prestigious one, allowing her to reap a huge benefit. She should have been grateful to Lin Dan, but right now, watching Bai Yan’s meticulous care for Lin Dan, she actually wished that the other party would disappear forever.
Since the day Lin Dan escaped the death tribulation and broke free from He Chongling’s control, she had become the deepest thorn in He Yufei’s heart.
TL notes: Emperor Yan means Cloud Emperor might be because of this cloud technique or his name? I’m not sure. And Grandmaster Weiqu literally means feeling wronged which I thought was funny. If he was strongest maybe he’d be called Emperor feeling wronged hahaha.
