CHAPTER 642: CHAPTER 641: OUTRAGEOUSLY WRONG

```

A mere Bronze Wandering Practitioner, Li Ge naturally didn’t take him seriously. From the moment they crossed swords, he felt that Lin Hao’s swordsmanship lacked any technique and was devoid of combat effectiveness.

After a few more moves, Li Ge felt he had completely grasped Lin Hao’s strength.

A total novice, Li Ge had a hundred ways to make this man die ’accidentally’ during the Sword Dance!

With this thought, Li Ge showed no mercy, his swordplay becoming sharper and fiercer, gradually cornering Lin Hao into a dead end!

However, Li Ge masked it well, and since there weren’t many experts around, except for Shen Fei and Suan Sansheng, no one noticed that Lin Hao was being pushed into dire straits.

Yet, both Shen Fei and Suan Sansheng, who did see, acted as if they hadn’t.

The only difference was that Shen Fei was being very cautious, constantly watching the battle, wondering whether to intervene.

As for Suan Sansheng, he really didn’t see it, because he simply didn’t care.

Amid the firelight and sword shadows, Li Ge’s swordplay was undeniably powerful; Lin Hao stepped back again and again, yet he sneered inwardly.

He hadn’t planned on causing trouble tonight; he came here to see if there were any merchant groups to ally with. Earthlings also needed a merchant group in the Upper Realm Plane, and an intelligence organization, since most merchant groups also served the role of gathering intelligence.

But this Li Ge was so rude, repeatedly courting death, and now he even wanted to kill!

Lin Hao sneered continuously inside, stepping back step by step; now, he had nowhere to retreat, with a bonfire behind him.

Now’s the time!

Li Ge’s eyes brightened, at this moment, Lin Hao stood beside the bonfire with no room to retreat.

And under the firelight, it would be hard for others to see what was happening.

At this moment, all he needed to do was pretend to slip, and a forward thrust of his sword could pierce Lin Hao’s heart!

When the man is dead, what could others say?

Would they stand up for a Wandering Practitioner?

As for that person with the Ancient Zither who didn’t seem to have much cultivation, and another Practitioner who had only shown his face but hadn’t arrived, of course, Li Ge didn’t take them into account.

Wealth should not be flaunted. Today, this Practitioner had shown his wealth, clearly drawing the merchant group’s attention.

Others Li Ge did not know, but his father, Li Tianyu, was definitely preparing to kill and rob. A few mere Wandering Practitioners, they didn’t regard them at all.

Since there was no risk, Li Ge naturally wouldn’t hold back!

Immediately, he feigned a stumble.

"Ah!"

With a pretentious cry of surprise, then everyone saw Li Ge’s long sword flick several flashes of sword flowers, plunging fiercely towards Lin Hao’s heart!

With the combat ability Lin Hao had displayed earlier, this kind of sudden strike was something he could not dodge.

Cold light flickered in Li Ge’s eyes; he seemed to have already seen Lin Hao dying under his sword.

"Brother, be careful!"

From a distance, Shen Fei shouted, but he didn’t make a move, as there was no time to intervene.

And Suan Sansheng showed a disdainful smile on his face, unmoving, waiting to see the show unfold.

As for the others, even Annie, only after Shen Fei had shouted a warning did she realize something was amiss, and they all started to exclaim.

However, just at that moment, bizarrely, Lin Hao’s figure miraculously dodged, evading Li Ge’s long sword!

"You want to kill me?" Lin Hao dodged the long sword, his expression cold as he stared at Li Ge: "Kneel down, apologize, and I can spare you."

"I kneel my spicy head!"

At this moment, Li Ge couldn’t care about so much!

His previous strike, meant to be fatal, had bizarrely missed, and he didn’t have time to wonder why - an arrow released had to follow its course!

Since a pretense was already revealed, it’s time to fight openly!

```

With this thought, Li Ge’s Primordial Qi suddenly surged, and he thrust his Life-stealing Sword at Lin Hao.

He couldn’t believe that a mere Bronze Wandering Practitioner could dodge his full-powered sword thrust!

"Be careful!"

"What are you doing, Li Ge!!!"

At the banquet, people finally had the chance to speak out.

Annie and several others exclaimed, getting up to lend a hand.

But Shen Fei was even quicker; he had made a decision the first time Lin Hao dodged Li Ge’s sword. When Li Ge blatantly made his second move, Shen Fei had already slammed the table and charged forward.

This favor, Shen Fei was not going to let it slip.

However, when Shen Fei arrived beside the bonfire, he was stunned.

Li Ge’s ultimate sword, just three inches from Lin Hao, halted!

Not just the sword, but Li Ge himself seemed petrified, standing blankly in front of Lin Hao.

What happened?

Shen Fei was baffled, unsure of what had occurred.

He quickly took two more steps forward to get a better look.

Under the firelight, it was clearly visible that Lin Hao had pinched Li Ge’s sword blade between two fingers!

Just a simple pinch, and Li Ge’s fierce sword lost all its momentum, unable to advance or retreat, completely beyond Li Ge’s control!

"This is impossible!"

It was strangely, bizarrely unexplainable!

At this moment, Li Ge’s eyes were wide open, utterly disbelieving what he saw!

The sword he had just used was his ultimate skill, and he hadn’t held back at all!

Let alone a Bronze Loose Cultivator who knew nothing of swordsmanship, even a Colonel might not be able to block his unexpected thrust.

With such a blow, Lin Hao should have lost nearly all his life, if not died.

But now...

What did Li Ge see? His sword hadn’t even pierced Lin Hao’s skin, but was instead clamped between Lin Hao’s two fingers!

Those two fingers were like a massive steel barrier, holding the sword blade, and Li Ge felt that the sword no longer belonged to him, no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn’t budge!

An illusion?

This must definitely be an illusion!

Li Ge couldn’t help but bite his tongue hard, trying to dispel the illusion with pain.

But unfortunately, this was not an illusion, but a harsh reality!

In an instant, Li Ge felt as if struck by lightning, becoming like a statue, standing in front of Lin Hao, motionless, maintaining his last pose.

Endless shock enveloped him like the Arctic wind.

His mind went blank, staring at Lin Hao without blinking.

He was wrong.

He was terribly wrong!

He thought Lin Hao was just a Bronze good-for-nothing, but now, with this one sword strike, Li Ge realized he had made a huge mistake!

The opponent was not a good-for-nothing, but a master!

"I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it."

Lin Hao sighed, then, a terrifying glare shot from his eyes.

Li Ge was simply not worth Lin Hao’s attention, it was beneath him, but being bullied to this extent didn’t mean Lin Hao had to endure it!
