Martial Arts Master: The Lin Family Sword God, who swept through the Five Mountains and Four Sects

After a moment's thought, he scratched his head and quickly smiled apologetically, "Don't be angry, young lady, it's still early. If you don't mind, I'll chat with you for a while longer, just to pass the time."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai's eyes flickered slightly, and a strange sense of pleasure welled up in her heart. She parted her lips slightly:

"Alright, let's continue. For example—why have so many swordsmen suddenly arrived these past few days? I've never seen such a gathering of experts before. Young master, with your vast experience, do you know the reason?"

"Oh?" Lin Tian's eyes lit up, and he shook his head knowingly. "So, young lady is interested in the secrets of the martial world? Then you've come to the right person! I am none other than the renowned 'Know-It-All'—the All-Knowing Scholar! I know the past five hundred years and the future five hundred years; there is nothing I don't know!"

"The All-Knowing Scholar?" Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "This title... I've never heard of it before."

"It's understandable that you, a young lady, don't know my name, as you rarely leave your home," Lin Tian said without changing his expression.

"Oh~ then this humble lady must ask the young master to explain himself clearly."

Dongfang Bubai chuckled softly, her eyes sparkling, but she didn't reveal Lin Tian's unspoken meaning. The Sun Moon Sect's intelligence network was as dense as a spider's web, covering the entire martial world; what in the world was she unaware of? If there truly were a know-it-all who understood the secrets of the martial world, she would have already captured and questioned him.

But she found chatting with Lin Tian quite interesting.

"Just now, the young lady asked why people from the martial arts world have been gathering together recently... Well, I know a little about that." Lin Tian spoke frankly and without any hesitation, "I heard that they've gathered together for a big reason—to figure out how to get rid of Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Cult."

"Um?"

Dongfang Bubai raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes flashing as if he had truly been intrigued: "Does young master know what brilliant plan they have devised?"

"What other clever tricks could they possibly have?" Lin Tian shrugged and smiled, his expression full of sarcasm. "Fight? Can they even win? Dongfang Bubai has dominated the martial arts world for over a decade. Who can withstand ten moves from her? So, all these people can come up with are some underhanded tricks—nothing more than two words: threats and poisoning."

He paused, his tone becoming increasingly playful: "Threats? Dongfang Bubai is all-powerful and ruthless. Her relatives and friends have long been wiped out. What could she possibly use to threaten her? As for poisoning... hehe, she probably just set a trap, found someone to challenge her, lured her out of Blackwood Cliff, and then took the opportunity to tamper with her food."

"Hehehe..." Dongfang Bubai covered her mouth and chuckled, her laughter like the tinkling of silver bells. "This idea is truly 'clever.' Do you think their plan will work, young master?"

Lin Tian glanced at her, his face clearly saying, "Are you serious?" Then he shook his head and chuckled, "If Dongfang Bubai were so easily fooled, he'd be buried a long time ago. Besides, what kind of place is Blackwood Cliff? It's teeming with experts! Not to mention the Left and Right Bright Envoys, the Twelve Flag Masters, and the Ten Elders, just the elite disciples of the Four Gates of Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder alone would be enough to give this rabble a run for their money."

"Back then, when the Five Mountains Sword Sects joined forces to besiege Blackwood Cliff, they didn't even reach the mountainside before being routed. These guys now are even worse than back then, and they still think they can turn the tables?"

As soon as he said this, the smile on Dongfang Bubai's face gradually faded.

Her gaze darkened slightly, and her previously languid expression suddenly turned sharp, a chilling killing intent quietly spreading out.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

"I didn't expect you to know so much about the Sun Moon Sect... Could it be that you are from the Five Mountains Sword Sect?"

"Heh." Lin Tian chuckled lightly, puffed out his chest, and boasted without batting an eye, "The Five Mountains Sword Sect? That small sect can't possibly have trained someone like me? Didn't I already say—I'm the know-it-all of the martial world, knowing five hundred years into the past and five hundred years into the future?"

"The all-knowing scholar... is that right?"

Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing him closely. To still regard him as an ordinary playboy at this moment would be utterly foolish.

越看越不对劲。

At first glance, I hadn't paid much attention, but now, focusing my senses, I realized that this person's breathing was long and deep, a single breath equivalent to several breaths for an ordinary person. This is a sign that one's internal energy has reached a state of perfection! It's a characteristic of at least a master at the peak of the acquired realm!

Perfect ending the day after tomorrow?!

When did such a young and unparalleled master emerge in the martial arts world?!

Little did people know that Lin Tian was actually at the Great Perfection of the Acquired Realm, but he cultivated the Nine Yin Manual, a supreme internal martial art of Taoism. He was naturally skilled in breathing and guiding techniques, and his energy circulation far surpassed that of his peers. In addition, the internal energy condensed by the Nine Yin Manual was extremely refined and profound. In terms of true energy foundation alone, even a Perfected Acquired Realm expert might not be able to suppress him.

"Since you claim to know everything," Dongfang Bubai slowly spoke, his gaze sharp as a knife, "then do you know—who am I?"

She stared intently at Lin Tian, ​​and the air seemed to freeze.

A moment later, Lin Tian smiled and said leisurely, "If you're not Dongfang Bubai, then who are you?"

Before the words were even finished, a murderous intent suddenly arose!

In an instant, a chill ran down my spine, as if countless steel needles were piercing my back!

Lin Tian reacted extremely quickly, drawing his sword almost instinctively—

The Deadly Sword, the Thirteenth Strike!!

This move is the ultimate of the Thirteen Deadly Swords, a return to simplicity and the unification of all techniques. What appears to be a simple, unremarkable thrust actually contains 379 variations, seamlessly integrating offense and defense, making it incomparably fierce!

Ding--! !

The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out!

The sword strike came to an abrupt halt.

Upon closer inspection, the tip of the Pearl Sword firmly held a two-inch-long needle, its shaft as thin as a hair, gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light under the moonlight…

Dongfang Bubai's eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyebrows.

Missing the target is a rare occurrence.

Although he hadn't used his full strength in that last move, he had still used seven-tenths of his power. Dongfang Bubai was confident that even if Zuo Lengchan himself came, he would have a hard time taking that attack unscathed.

But this young man in front of them blocked it with ease.

Her attack missed, and she did not pursue.

The murderous aura vanished, and Dongfang Bubai's gaze shifted slightly as he stared at Lin Tian, ​​his tone tinged with amusement: "Oh? That's strange. How did you know I was Dongfang Bubai, young master?"

Seeing her stop, Lin Tian slowly sheathed his Pearl Sword, casually pointing to the wooden plaque hanging by the door, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Look, doesn't it clearly say—'Invincible East'? Does the young lady think that someone of my caliber would be blind?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bubai's expression faltered slightly.

If she had heard him say that before the fight, she might have believed him a little. But now? With his strength right in front of her, he hardly seemed like a street thug who could only recognize people by guessing cards.

But she didn't expose him; she just found the boy increasingly interesting.

It was even... the first time she had ever been interested in a man.

"I see?" Her eyes flickered, her gaze sweeping over the longsword in Lin Tian's hand, her smile deepening. "But young master, you're not being honest enough. It's clearly a deadly sword, yet you insist on calling yourself a 'know-it-all of the martial world,' are you trying to take advantage of me being just a weak woman?"

A little woman...

Ha! If people in the martial arts world heard that the leader of the Demonic Sect, who claimed to be "unbeatable in the east," actually referred to himself as "this humble servant," they would probably be so shocked that they wouldn't even be able to hold their swords.

Lin Tian's lips twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

He never believed that the woman would really be kept in the dark, but since she was pretending to be stupid, he was naturally happy to play along.
