The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 650 - 648: One Year Ago, One Year Later!

Lin Bai sneered coldly.

Enraged, Duan Canghai roared, "What did you say! You dare call me a dog, you’re asking for death!"

"Sea Sword Skill! Thousands of Giant Waves!"

With his face tensed in rage, Duan Canghai’s sword skill suddenly intensified extraordinarily.

A sword pierced down fiercely, as the sword’s aura attacked like it could pierce the heaven itself.

Lin Bai laughed coldly: "Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

Lin Bai had cultivated the Astonishing Wind Sword Skill to an exquisite level and immediately slashed down with fury. The heaven-reaching, earth-penetrating Sword Qi roared upwards, colliding with Duan Canghai’s Sword Aura.

With a loud bang!

The collision forced Duan Canghai to retreat three or four steps!

"How is this possible!"

Dismay and disbelief etched themselves on Duan Canghai’s face.

His Heaven Level First Grade martial technique, a supreme art of the Canghai Yuntai Palace which he had cultivated to the state of Great Perfection, exerted with full force, had a power approaching Heaven Level Second Grade.

At this moment, it was actually casually resisted by Lin Bai’s single sword stroke!

"You dare to show off this level of sword skill in front of me!"

"Next, I’ll show you what true Sword Skill is!"

"Divine Power! Wind-Slaying!"

Lin Bai’s eyes showed a chilling brilliance, as his Qingge Sword ferociously clashed, unleashing a Sword Qi that shocked the gods.

The eyes of Duan Canghai turned blood-red, as a shadow of death enveloped him.

"Martial Soul! Consecutive Slash during the Flying Sky Realm!"

"I’ll fight you to death!"

Duan Canghai let out a roar, a black mist surged above his head, revealing a large fish with wings, its eyes gleaming with blood-red light, it attacked towards Lin Bai.

Duan Canghai rose into the air, unleashing nine Sword Qi in succession, shaking the earth and shattering everything in its sweep!

"Divine Power! Waning Flower!"

Lin Bai changed his body technique. Purple-blue wings formed behind him, and he leaped into the air, angrily slashing down with his sword, blocking all nine of Duan Canghai’s Sword Qi!

"Divine Power! Snow-Burying!"

Then, without giving Duan Canghai any chance to catch his breath, Lin Bai, swift as lightning, rushed at Duan Canghai, his sword piercing towards Duan Canghai’s face.

This sword was as if it were the ultimate of the universe, its radiance shining, it magnified continuously in Duan Canghai’s eyes.

"No! No!"

The sword scared Duan Canghai and made him retreat rapidly, pleading for mercy.

"Lin Bai, If you dare kill me, then even Duan Qinghong, your Spirit Sword Sect’s disciple, will not survive!"

In a state of anxious urgency, Duan Canghai cried, clutching the mention of Duan Qinghong like a lifeline.

At Duan Canghai’s words, Lin Bai looked shocked. Suddenly he turned the tip of his sword towards Duan Canghai’s abdomen, piercing Duan Canghai’s dantian, sending him flying off in the process.

With a thud—

Duan Canghai fell to the ground, vomiting blood, his face pale. Before he could even check his injuries, he felt that his dantian had been destroyed by Lin Bai, his true qi rapidly dissipating.

"No, no, my dantian, my dantian..." Duan Canghai screamed in horror.

Lin Bai took a step forward, appeared by Duan Canghai’s side, and put his sword to Duan Canghai’s throat, asking, "Where is Duan Qinghong?"

Duan Canghai roared, "Dare you disable my dantian! I’ll kill you!"

In the midst of speaking, Duan Canghai attempted to pounce on Lin Bai, seeking to take him down together!

However, the moment Duan Canghai moved, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with cold light, and with a sharp slash, he cruelly tore off one of Duan Canghai’s arms!

"Ahhhhh—"

Duan Canghai, clutching his arm, screamed in agony.

Lin Bai said coldly, "I am asking you one more time, where is Duan Qinghong? This is your last chance. If you do not answer, I will take your head."

In fear, Duan Canghai responded, "No, no, don’t kill me. I’ve captured Duan Qinghong and kept her at the peak of the mountain..."

"You mustn’t kill me if you want Duan Qinghong to live. Once you kill me, I assure you that Duan Qinghong will be dismembered!"

Duan Canghai desperately replied.

Lin Bai’s face grew stern as he seized Duan Canghai’s throat, dragging him toward the mountain peak.

In the martial arts competition arena.

"Who would have thought that even Duan Canghai would be defeated by Lin Bai, his sword skill is truly incredible!"

"Yes, Lin Bai might not have many competitors left among the 700 states of Lingdong now. The only one who might surpass him is certainly Lin Zi’er!" freewebnøvel_com

"It is still unclear who is stronger between Lin Bai and Lin Zi’er."

"Now that Lin Bai is heading to the mountain peak, his confrontation with Lin Zi’er is imminent!"

"What an anticipation!"

Many warriors in the martial arts arena were filled with anticipation.

One was Lingdong’s first sword cultivator.

One was Lingdong’s first genius.

If these two clashed, it would certainly be a riveting battle of the titans!

Seeing Lin Bai dragging Duan Canghai to the peak, Su Jiannan exclaimed, "Lin Bai is about to meet Lin Zi’er. Once they meet, one of them is bound to get hurt!"

Xue Jianke and the First Princess remained silent, both filled with quiet anticipation.

They both knew too well about Lin Bai’s intention.

Lin Bai had declared, he joined today’s competition solely to kill Lin Zi’er!

At the summit.

On the highest peak of Qingtian Mountain, a fluttering flag embroidered with the name "Canghai Yuntai Palace" was planted. Under the flag stood a white-robed woman, smirking at Lin Bai who was coming up the stone steps.

The woman was none other than Lin Zi’er.

Under Lin Zi’er’s feet laid a warrior, battered and bruised. It was clear from his blood-streaked clothes that this man was Duan Qinghong!

"You’ve finally arrived" said Lin Zi’er, smirking at Lin Bai who just reached the peak.

Lin Bai’s face was cold. Seeing Duan Qinghong under Lin Zi’er’s foot, a sharp chill flashed in his eyes.

Lin Zi’er, laughing, said: "Do you know? The martial-arts competition this year was supposed to be one-on-one duels in the arena. It should have been decided by battles among the warriors from all major sects!"

"I was the one who suggested that the competition be held at Xuankong Island and Qingtian Mountain!"

"Do you know why?"

Lin Zi’er asked, her voice cool.

Lin Bai silently looked at Lin Zi’er.

Lin Zi’er laughed softly, saying: "Lin Bai, looking at this scene, doesn’t it feel familiar?"

"A year ago, on Qingyou Mountain in Lingxi City, just like today, didn’t you slaughter your way up from the mountain foot to the peak!"

"And I, just like today, stood proudly at the peak!"

"How similar these scenes are!"

List pursed her lips, letting out a soft laugh.

Only then did Lin Bai recall the similarity. A year ago, during the Disciples Recruitment Conference hosted by the Four Major Sects in Lingxi City, for the purpose of killing Lin Zi’er, Lin Bai had slain all of Lin Zi’er’s followers from the mountain range all the way to the peak.

How incredibly similar this scene was to today’s!

Just like today, from the edge of Xuankong Island, he had once again fought his way to the summit of Qingtian Mountain!

And once again, he stood across from Lin Zi’er!
