The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1079 - 1077: Come Again!

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1077: Come Again!

With both swords in hand, Lin Bai’s eyes sharpened, his expression turned icy, and his movements became swift.

The Nine Rotations Sword Steps carried Lin Bai’s body, transforming him into a bolt of lightning racing across the Martial Arts Stage.

Thud—

Both swords slashed down simultaneously, striking right on top of Di Xia’s fist.

A huge noise spread!

Intense fluctuations shook the entire Martial Arts Stage, as if heaven and earth were trembling right there!

"Wow!"

"Damn, that’s strong!"

"Just a casual clash, and it wields such power?"

All the warriors below the stage had looks of terror on their faces!

This simple clash was on par with the fierce battle between Lin Bai and Meng Yue?

"Lin Bai, you are indeed powerful." After the clash, Di Xia stared at Lin Bai and scoffed, "If I weren’t here this year, you might indeed have made it to the finals."

"But unfortunately, you’ve met me, and I am destined to go to the finals to compete for the Spiritual Child!"

"So, today your defeat is certain!"

Di Xia stared at Lin Bai and scoffed coldly, as power began to surge throughout his body, erupting with a bloodthirsty murderous intent like that of a beast.

"Martial Soul! Sky-splitting Demon Ape!"

Di Xia roared, and behind him, the giant illusory shadow of a hundred Zhang in height emerged.

This illusory shadow’s face wasn’t clear, but one could see a pair of blood-red eyes, immensely tall as if he could hold up the sky, possessing arms that exuded a destructive power!

"It’s Di Xia’s Heavenly-grade Martial Soul, the Sky-splitting Demon Ape!"

"Activating his Martial Soul, it looks like Di Xia wants to end the fight."

"This is the first time in this Spiritual Child Battle that Di Xia has used his Martial Soul."

"Lin Bai, you are in danger."

Many warriors cried out in unison.

The exposure of the Martial Soul, Sky-splitting Demon Ape, escalated Di Xia’s strength to a new phase!

Lin Bai calmly raised the Qingge Sword, its tip pointed at Di Xia, "Come and try!"

Roar—

Di Xia’s mouth emitted a roar akin to a beast, and he charged at Lin Bai like a cannonball.

With a clench of his fist, he struck a fierce punch downward.

Terrible power was condensed at the edge of his fist, crushing everything in its path, causing the void to tremble as if it could shatter at any moment!

"Supreme Sword! Sword Wandering Freely!"

Lin Bai’s sword skill activated, striking ferociously at Di Xia.

The sword aura, more brilliant than the stars, like the dawn’s first light breaking through darkness, aimed precisely at the edge of Di Xia’s fist.

Thud!

The clash sent both Lin Bai and Di Xia reeling back a hundred meters!

Di Xia’s complexion turned a shade paler.

Whereas Lin Bai’s face was deathly white, as he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

After that clash, Lin Bai was evidently at a disadvantage!

But Lin Bai was not discouraged at all, rather his eyes shone even brighter with a brilliant sparkle, "Come on!"

"Supreme Sword! Sweeping Thousands of Soldiers!"

No sooner had Lin Bai steadied himself than he took a step forward and his figure rapidly vanished from the spot; instantly, spiritual power from all directions converged, and both the Qingge Sword and Purple Cloud Sword slashed down simultaneously.

Two Heaven-reaching and earth-penetrating sword qi swept across, unstoppable, striking at Di Xia with the force of world-destroying power.

Di Xia’s expression turned to shock; he had just steadied himself when he found Lin Bai’s twin sword qi already in front of him, hastily roaring, "Bring it on; I’m not afraid!"

Di Xia’s Martial Soul behind him once again howled skyward, and a myriad of punching shadows thunderously dropped down.

Rumbling—

Another intense clash ensued, fracturing the arena with dense, sprawling crevices.

Both Di Xia and Lin Bai spewed blood simultaneously.

Lin Bai’s fighting spirit grew even fiercer on his face, "This is what makes a Martial Arts Competition interesting!"

"Again!"

"Supreme Sword, Sky Collapse!"

Lin Bai took another step, enveloping a destructive power, and launched a fierce sword strike at Di Xia.

"Damn, how is he so strong!" Di Xia’s eyes showed a flicker of fear, and despite his injuries, he gritted his teeth and fiercely sent another punch towards Lin Bai.

Bang!

A loud collision resounded, and a cloud of dust rose into the sky.

Ye Wuhuan, upon seeing this scene, revealed a look of shock and even gently put down the teacup he was holding.

Kang Xiao wore a bitter smile.

And the entire arena, including Yejian Qiu, Jian Ruohan, and Kang Yiyang, were all struck as if petrified!

"Again!"

The clash from just now had just ended when Lin Bai once again lifted his sword, and attacked Di Xia with another fierce strike.

"Again?"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Lin Bai, no more fighting, you have won."

Di Xia hastily called out to Lin Bai.

The previous three clashes appeared to be in Di Xia’s favor on the surface, but that was only the first move. As Lin Bai’s second and third sword strikes landed, Di Xia was completely defenseless.

If there were another move, Di Xia might be struck down like a dog on the arena floor by Lin Bai.

Di Xia had already realized that he was no match for Lin Bai. As Lin Bai was preparing the fourth sword strike, Di Xia hurriedly shouted at Lin Bai!

Hearing Di Xia’s voice, Lin Bai sheathed his sword aura, standing on the Martial Arts Stage.

Di Xia also sheathed his Martial Soul, looking at Lin Bai with a bitter smile, "Lin Bai, no more, I concede!"

"Much appreciated." Lin Bai smiled faintly.

Di Xia gave a bitter smile repeatedly, without a trace of reluctance, and jumped down from the arena, landing in the spectator seats.

Immediately, Lin Bai returned to his chair.

From the beginning, these thirty-two chairs were filled with thirty-two warriors.

And through the combat, now only two people remained on these chairs.

One was Lin Bai, white as snow.

One was Xu Jiangsheng, somber as water!

And finally, this year’s Spiritual Child would be chosen from these two.

"Now comes the final match."

"Xu Jiangsheng, Lin Bai, you still have two hours of rest time, cherish it well."

Kang Xiao said to Lin Bai and Xu Jiangsheng with a smile.

Lin Bai glanced sidelong at Xu Jiangsheng.

Seeing Xu Jiangsheng, his eyes tightly closed, fully concentrated on regulating his spiritual power, Lin Bai still noticed the intense murderous intent hidden beneath Xu Jiangsheng’s calm face, even his eyelid was twitching!

"Don’t hold back, it’s painful. If you want to kill me, just try."

Lin Bai looked at Xu Jiangsheng’s twitching eyelid and smiled lightly, his eyes simultaneously glowing with a strange light.

How could Xu Jiangsheng not want to kill Lin Bai, having died at Lin Bai’s hands twice already? If it weren’t for the Essence of Fire, Xu Jiangsheng would have already reported to Yama Hall twice!

One could say this vengeance was shared by none!

Lin Bai also closed his eyes, beginning to restore his spiritual power.

Two hours passed quickly.

"Alright, the final match of the Spiritual Child Battle begins now."

"Lin Bai, Xu Jiangsheng, come up to the stage, determine the victor in one battle, and the winner will be the seven hundred and ninetieth Spiritual Child of the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge!"

Kang Xiao’s voice echoed in Lin Bai’s and Xu Jiangsheng’s ears, following which both men opened their eyes.

Xu Jiangsheng silently walked up to the arena.

Lin Bai walked up afterwards.

The two stood 500 meters apart, staring across the void at each other.

This was the first time, Xu Jiangsheng’s and Lin Bai’s gazes collided!

Hiss—

The moment Xu Jiangsheng’s and Lin Bai’s eyes met, everyone could distinctly feel the murderous aura emanating from the two of them!
