Chapter 134 The Dog-Beating Stick (18)

Because Lin Xiu remained hidden in the shadows, Bai Ke kept his spiritual power contained, waiting for the other party to reveal himself before launching a devastating attack.

Lin Xiu seemed to know that Bai Ke was waiting for him to show up, so he kept harassing Bai Ke from the shadows, preparing to launch a sudden attack when Bai Ke relaxed his guard.

Both sides were waiting for the other to reveal a weakness first, but Bai Ke was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. He channeled his spiritual power into his third eye between his eyebrows.

Instantly, Lin Xiu's figure was exposed to Bai Ke's view. The ability of the Heavenly Eye to see through illusions was truly not an exaggeration.

Poor Lin Xiu was unaware that he had been discovered, lurking in the shadows, slowly approaching Bai Ke.

Bai Ke pretended not to notice, concentrating and waiting for the opponent to get close. The moment the opponent approached, he struck out with both palms, and two long dragons met in the air, hitting Lin Xiu who had just appeared.

The Double Dragons Emerging from the Sea strikes the Dragon Tail Sweep, a move second only to the most powerful and forceful of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. Struck by this attack, Lin Xiu immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.

Bai Ke strolled over to Lin Xiu and leaned in to ask, "Oh dear, Junior Brother Lin has vomited a lot of blood. I wonder if he's alright? Tell me so I can have a good laugh."

Lin Xiu thought Bai Ke was just trying to save face by offering a few words of comfort, but he didn't expect this guy to say such a thing. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

Ignoring Bai Ke's teasing remark, Lin Xiu struggled to sit up and asked Bai Ke, "How...how did you find out about me?"

Bai Ke let out a soft "hmm" and muttered, "Huh? This kid can actually sit up. He's pretty resilient! I wonder if he can take another slap."

Lin Xiu's face darkened, and a few more drops of blood foamed from his mouth. He took out a handful of pills from his storage ring and stuffed them into his mouth, muttering, "How...how did you manage to steal my money?"

Bai Ke pretended not to understand, "Hey, Junior Brother Lin, why can't you speak clearly? Let your senior brother take a look. If you get hurt, you'll never be able to get married!"

Lin Xiu felt like he was about to be driven crazy by this guy. He asked him how he found out about him, but the guy wouldn't say anything, instead changing the subject and saying these nonsensical things.

Seeing Lin Xiu's furious expression, Bai Ke narrowed his eyes like a cunning fox who had succeeded in his scheme, and said with a smirk:

"Oh, Junior Brother Lin, I was just joking with you, don't worry... I'll tell you now."

He pretended to look on in recollection, "To be honest, I don't know how you ended up here, junior brother. I'm quite troubled too..."

"…He…he doesn’t know either???" Lin Xiu felt as if he had been struck by several bolts of lightning. This guy…actually…relyed on luck???

As if unable to accept reality, Lin Xiu murmured, "You don't know either?"

With a responsible spirit and attitude, Bai Ke nodded seriously, grinned, and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, that's right!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu jumped up in fright and shouted, "You fucking bastard, you'd better die!"

His figure disappeared into the surrounding shadows again, hovering and exploring around Bai Ke, but refusing to go forward.

Bai Ke feigned helplessness and said, "Again? Junior brother, are you still not done? Didn't we agree that it would just be a one-time competition?"

Lin Xiu's voice came from all around, "Heh, finished? How can it be finished if you don't beat me? You were lucky just now, now it's my turn!"

His voice was shrill, yet carried a strange sense of exhilaration and satisfaction; clearly, Bai Ke's act had successfully fooled him.

"Ahem, Elder Xing, this is not good... How can you do this?" Lin Xiu turned around and looked at Xing Jian with dissatisfaction.

Xing Jian chuckled and said, "Lin Xiu is young and impetuous, so please bear with him, nephew..."

"How about this? If you defeat Lin Xiu in this contest, I will gift you the complete 'Shadow Codex,' how about that?"

One of the elders nearby immediately curled his lip. This old codger is truly shameless, openly bullying Bai Ke because he is ignorant. Was it just luck just now? Does he think it will always be luck?

Clearly, they also knew that with Bai Ke's current cultivation level, he had no way of seeing through Lin Xiu's tracks, so how could he possibly defeat Lin Xiu?

However, Bai Ke nodded in surprise, "Elder Xing, is what you say true? I want the original!"

The original supernatural powers still bear the imprints of laws left by the engraver, which can better help later generations to comprehend the supernatural powers. Even the most ordinary originals are priceless.

Xing Jian nodded slightly. "My word is as good as gold, and cannot be overturned. Nephew Bai, please feel free to do as you please."

Bai Ke immediately laughed and said, "Alright, let's go then. I've been really eyeing Junior Brother Lin's 'Shadow Manual'!"

Lin Xiu sneered, "Heh, you'll have to be capable of getting it first. Enough talk, take this!"

Bai Ke watched as Lin Xiu, though seemingly observing, continued to lurk in the shadows and even secretly moved to another location.

Amused, Bai Ke still slapped the spot where Lin Xiu had just spoken, excitedly shouting, "Haha, found you!"

The golden dragons clashed, making a loud "bang," but it was of no use. Lin Xiu was relieved to see this, and then looked at Bai Ke with ill intent.

"Heh, you think you're so clever? If you're so capable, then try finding me!" He grumbled as he slowly drew his longsword and thrust it at Bai Ke.

Pretending to be flustered, Bai Ke took out the Nine-Star Jade Bamboo from his storage ring and swung it around haphazardly in his hand.

While sweeping, he pretended to be in a panic and walked to Lin Xiu's side and behind him. To Lin Xiu's astonishment, he swept the stick across his buttocks, making him stagger.

"What? You can do that?" Amidst the incredulous gazes of Lin Xiu and the other elders watching the battle, Bai Ke repeatedly "accidentally" spotted Lin Xiu and beat him black and blue.

"You, you can see me all along, can't you?" Lin Xiu, whose head had been beaten into a pig's head, looked utterly grief-stricken.

"No, no, no, how can you say that? Junior Brother Lin, I really can't see you. Who knows why you insisted on running into my stick..."

Bai Ke pretended to be completely unaware, waving his hands repeatedly to indicate his innocence. Unfortunately, even Elder Xu Mu, who was firmly on his side, stared at him with a strange expression.

With a slight cough, Xing Jian slowly walked out and asked Bai Ke, "I won't say anything else, I admit defeat, but Junior Nephew Bai's staff technique is quite impressive. I wonder if you have a master?"

Bai Ke grinned. "Oh... that staff technique... it's nothing special, just an unnamed staff technique. I named it 'Dog-Beating Staff Technique,' it doesn't deserve Elder Xing's praise."
