The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 2574 - 2549: Encountering Assassins on the Road!

Chapter 2574: Chapter 2549: Encountering Assassins on the Road!

Fu Qingshuang walked at the front, with Lin Bai and Hu Xiner walking side by side at the back.

The three made their way out of the Qingtian Region. Fu Qingshuang seemed to be quite familiar with the East Continent, so without any need to find the direction, he directly led Lin Bai straight towards the East Continent Academy.

Along the way, Lin Bai and the others used the teleportation array more than a dozen times. Lin Bai was completely confused but felt that Fu Qingshuang thought they weren’t far from the East Continent Academy.

In a certain Territory, on top of a Lonely Mountain, there was a pile of abandoned palace buildings. At this moment, from under the buildings, after a flash of light, a heaven-reaching column of light shot straight into the sky.

The dazzling column of light lasted for a moment, and then three silhouettes walked out from it.

Lin Bai looked around at the swirling smoke and said with a silent smile, "Uncle Fu Qingshuang, can’t you bring us to a nice place? This place is desolate!"

Fu Qingshuang looked at the abandoned city buildings around and said with a lost look in his eyes, "This place, more than twenty years ago, was once a magnificent city. Yet, who would’ve thought that in just over twenty years, the seas would turn to mulberry fields!"

"This city was abandoned and has now become a Lonely Mountain!"

Fu Qingshuang shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Lin Bai finally understood. Originally, this place, over twenty years ago, was still a city, but in that span of time, experiencing so much, had turned into ruins.

Fu Qingshuang said, "I initially planned to use the teleportation array here to go directly to the God-Demon Sea. But since this city is destroyed, we can only look for a nearby city to see if there’s a teleportation array to the God-Demon Sea!"

"This place isn’t far from the God-Demon Sea; this is... the Jianghai Region!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed as he said, "One of the Nine Great Domains close to the God-Demon Sea, the Jianghai Region!"

Fu Qingshuang nodded slightly, then stepped forward, followed by Lin Bai and Hu Xiner.

But just as the three were leaving this ruinous city, Lin Bai suddenly looked back and noticed that the teleportation array they arrived by suddenly lit up with a blinding light.

The teleportation array started operating again. Is there a Warrior arriving here?

Fu Qingshuang said expressionlessly, "Lin Bai, let’s go!"

Before Lin Bai followed Fu Qingshuang and left, he looked back at the teleportation array, and within the overwhelming light, three faintly visible figures slowly walked out.

"These three people have been following us for a while now, haven’t they?"

Lin Bai said with a light smile to Fu Qingshuang.

Fu Qingshuang’s eyes flashed with a chill, and he nodded slightly, saying, "I hope they don’t look for death!"

Fu Qingshuang and Lin Bai had long noticed these three following them, but since they were not taking action, Lin Bai and Fu Qingshuang were also not dealing with them directly.

Fu Qingshuang didn’t want to cause more trouble and only wanted to get Lin Bai to the East Continent Academy as soon as possible.

In the Jianghai Region, the Territories are vast, especially where Lin Bai and the others are now, covered in an endless chain of mountain forests.

The three soared in mid-air, heading on their way.

Just when Lin Bai, Fu Qingshuang, and Hu Xiner were about to leave this forest, suddenly an arrow shot out from the woods, heading straight for Lin Bai’s back.

Lin Bai, of course, noticed it immediately, the Qingmu Divine Thunder within him started surging.

And just as the arrow was about to hit Lin Bai’s back, Fu Qingshuang reached out and grabbed it, catching the fast-moving arrow in his hand.

With the arrow in his grasp, Fu Qingshuang’s eyes turned icy cold as he looked into the woods.

In the forest, a shadow was looking at Fu Qingshuang in shock, their figure trembling before swiftly fleeing into the distance.

"I told you not to seek death, yet you still didn’t believe it!" Fu Qingshuang’s form flickered, heading straight towards the escaping shadow, leaping miles away in the blink of an eye!

Hu Xiner watched Fu Qingshuang’s retreating figure, worriedly shouting, "Be careful, benefactor!"

Lin Bai wasn’t too concerned. After all, Fu Qingshuang was a Strong One capable of heavily injuring Mo Wenshen, his strength had reached the pinnacle on this East Continent.

In other words, on the Barbaric Ancient Continent today, few could contend with Fu Qingshuang.

Fu Qingshuang pursued the shadow.

Meanwhile, Lin Bai and Hu Xiner waited in place.

"It’s you who should be careful!"

Just then, a cold voice came through.

Lin Bai looked up to see two figures, one tall and one short, appearing before him. They were dressed in patched robes, looking ragged.

The tall one stood about two meters high, yet had a lean frame, holding a staff in their hand.

The short one was under a meter, plump all around.

Both shared a common trait!

Their faces, lacking any features, showed only a pair of eyes!

There were no noses, no mouths, no ears, just a pair of eyes exposed!

It was as if their noses, mouths, and ears were hidden by some secret technique!

Seeing these two, Hu Xiner felt as if faced with a great enemy, especially sensing the Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection aura emanating from them, making her face solemn.

"Who are you?" Hu Xiner asked coldly.

One of the peculiar Warriors said nonchalantly, "Hmph, who we are is not important; what matters is, are you Lin Bai?"

Hearing this, Lin Bai immediately understood they were targeting him, so he laughed and said, "Haha, I am Lin Bai. Are you here to kill me?"

The two of them said, "Since you know our purpose, there’s no need for more nonsense. Will you take your own life, or should we do it?"

"After all, your head is worth quite a fortune now! Not to mention anything else, a bounty of ten billion Spirit Liquid is already one of the highest in the East Continent now!"

At this moment, Lin Bai understood that these two must have followed him in secret after seeing the bounty Kunxu had placed on his pursuit, seeking a suitable opportunity to act.

In fact, Lin Bai had noticed them tracking him two days ago, but since Fu Qingshuang hadn’t shown any concern during the journey, Lin Bai didn’t ask many questions.

After all, with Lin Bai aware of their presence, Fu Qingshuang must have already sensed something was amiss. Since Fu Qingshuang wasn’t worried, Lin Bai saw no need to trouble himself.

Lin Bai laughed, "The person who just distracted my uncle, they’re also your people?"

The two of them said, "Naturally, they’re ours, but rest assured, our people will give him a quick end!"

Lin Bai scoffed, "Give him a quick end? I fear you’re not qualified!"

"Do you even know who he is?"

Lin Bai sneered.

"No matter who you are, having met us means there’s only one path left — death!" the two replied coldly with a smile.

"Prepare to die!"

The two of them flickered, rushing straight towards Lin Bai and Hu Xiner.

Hu Xiner’s face was solemn, recalling Fu Qingshuang’s words to take good care of Lin Bai.

At this moment, Hu Xiner gritted her teeth and stood in front of Lin Bai, knowing full well she stood no chance against these two Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection warriors, yet she had to protect Lin Bai on Fu Qingshuang’s behalf!

Hu Xiner stopped in front of Lin Bai, immediately saying, "Lin Bai, you go first, I’ll hold them off!"

Lin Bai lightly chuckled, "No need, let them come!"

"What!" Hu Xiner looked at Lin Bai in shock, thinking if they let them come, wouldn’t both she and Lin Bai be doomed?

Yet at this moment, Lin Bai, facing these two warriors whose strength far surpassed his own, remained extraordinarily composed and unafraid!
