The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1172 - 1170: The Pinnacle Battle!

Chapter 1172: Chapter 1170: The Pinnacle Battle!

Today, the First Peak was crowded and full of elite fighters.

Lin Bai stood alone in the middle of the arena, calmly waiting for his opponent’s arrival!

Soon after.

A group of Warriors walked into the Martial Arts Competition Arena.

"Here comes the Saint!"

"Besides the Saint, there is also Zhao Longtu, the Sect Leader Supreme!"

At that moment, exclamations rose from the crowd as everyone turned to look.

Lin Bai stood in the arena, looking toward the entrance.

There, Zhao Longtu and Jian Ruohan walked into the arena side by side, chatting and laughing.

Following Jian Ruohan were Yan Yu and Chu Yue, with more than fifty Warriors at Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm behind them, all of whom were loyal followers of Jian Ruohan.

"Saint, go ahead with peace of mind, even if Lin Bai is killed today, with my support, Dugu Yun wouldn’t dare to act rashly," Zhao Longtu said with a cold snort upon seeing Lin Bai, giving a smile to Jian Ruohan.

"Hehe, then I invite the Sect Leader Supreme to watch from above," Jian Ruohan replied with a faint smile, his gaze toward Lin Bai, his eyes completely calm without a trace of pressure.

Zhao Longtu nodded and ascended to the high platform to sit down, his gaze glanced at Ye Wuhuan and Dugu Yun but did not greet them.

"Go for it, Saint Senior Brother, avenge our fallen brothers!"

"Yes, Saint Senior Brother, this man took two Treasure Mountains from us. If we don’t avenge this, we can’t call ourselves men."

"Senior Brother Wen Ye and Ke Han both died at his hands, this man is too detestable," Yan Yu and Chu Yue each spoke up one sentence after another.

Jian Ruohan nodded slightly, then walked into the center of the arena, while Yan Yu and Chu Yue headed for the Spectator Seats.

"It’s about to start."

Bai Xiaoxiao and Jian Ruohan both held their breath in anticipation.

Every Warrior in the place quieted down, looking with expectation at Jian Ruohan and Lin Bai, not even daring to let out a loud breath.

The eyes of Ye Wuhuan, Zhao Longtu, and Dugu Yun also did not shift, staring intently at Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan.

Hua Yuxian narrowed her Eyes and smiled slightly with her red lips, "Finally, the two have arrived."

"Saintess Your Highness, who do you think will win today?" the Sword Demon said calmly.

"Jian Ruohan!" Hua Yuxian replied lightly with a smile, giving a direct answer.

"Does Saintess Your Highness believe that Lin Bai will lose to Jian Ruohan?" the Sword Demon said with a smile.

Hua Yuxian’s face maintained a light smile, "In today’s battle, Jian Ruohan will win, but Lin Bai will also become the only Warrior on the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge who might compete with Jian Ruohan in the next three years!"

"So, Lin Bai won’t be weak!"

"This is a clash of titans, a struggle between absolute experts. A slight miss is as good as a mile!"

Hua Yuxian said lighty.

The Sword Demon smiled lightly, "I thought Saintess Your Highness didn’t think much of Lin Bai. It turns out you only believe that Lin Bai will lose today, but that he will become the only Warrior who can fight against Jian Ruohan on the Five Peaks!"

The Sword Demon nodded slowly.

Hua Yuxian smiled, "Lin Bai’s defeat today would be a good thing for us!"

"If he falls today, we can take the opportunity to bring him under the banner of the Sacred Religion. Once he rises, Lin Bai will become the sharpest Sharp Sword under the Sacred Religion’s banner!"

Hua Yuxian continued with a smile.

"As for Jian Ruohan, he is unpredictable and impenetrable, making it unlikely that the Sacred Religion could bring him in. On the other hand, the chances with Lin Bai are much higher," Hua Yuxian said.

"As expected of Saintess Your Highness, perceptive of the human heart," the Sword Demon nodded lightly, agreeing with Hua Yuxian’s sentiment.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan both came to the center of the arena!

Lin Bai’s Face was impassive as he looked at Jian Ruohan, silent.

Jian Ruohan gave a frivolous smile, "For today’s battle, I didn’t expect so many experts to come; almost all the senior figures from the Five Peaks of the Miracle Ridge and the Nine Courtyards are here."

"Lin Bai, I hope your growth over the past six months won’t disappoint me or the Warriors who have come to watch the battle here!" Jian Ruohan said with a smile.

Lin Bai smiled slightly, "Don’t worry, after today’s battle, the position of the Saint could very well change hands!"

Yejian Jun laughed and said, "It’s good that you have this confidence, half a year has passed so quickly, I wonder if you have already chosen your grave?"

"I have indeed chosen a grave!"

"But it’s not chosen for myself, it’s chosen for you!"

Lin Bai replied with a faint smile.

Yejian Jun’s face was smiling, showing no pressure whatsoever.

"Well then, let us begin," he said, still smiling.

Swish—

With a flick of his hand, Yejian Jun summoned the Red Emperor Sword, and the Great Perfection Sword Intention of the ninth grade immediately permeated the atmosphere, merging with heaven and earth and stirring up an extremely terrifying storm!

Hiss—

As Yejian Jun brandished his sword, his aura was astonishing.

All the warriors in the crowd immediately let out exclamations.

"It’s starting!"

"A battle at the pinnacle!"

"This is the most climactic battle in nearly ten years for the Five Peaks!"

All the warriors were holding their breath in anticipation!

Lin Bai cracked a slight smile, retrieving the Purple Cloud Sword and Qingge Sword from his storage bag.

"Eh? Where’s your Emperor’s Heart Sword?" asked Yejian Jun curiously upon seeing this. "With just those two pieces of scrap metal in your hands, you won’t be able to win against me."

"Bring out the Emperor’s Heart Sword," Yejian Jun said nonchalantly.

Of course, Lin Bai knew that although the Purple Cloud Sword and Qingge Sword were indeed powerful, they were still Nine-grade Spirit Tools and thus fell far short when compared to Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifacts.

Unfortunately, half a year’s time was not enough for Kang Xiao to completely repair the Emperor’s Heart Sword, hence it had not returned to Lin Bai’s possession!

"Less nonsense, these two swords are enough to kill you," Lin Bai said coldly.

"Heh, is that so?" Yejian Jun sneered with disdain.

Instantly, a barely discernible cold light flashed in Lin Bai’s eyes, and he executed the Nine Rotations Sword Steps, transforming into an extreme cold light rushing towards Yejian Jun.

"He’s made his move!"

Bai Xiaoxiao and Jian Ruohan’s eyes suddenly contracted, their gaze fixed on Lin Bai!

Ye Wuhuan, Zhao Longtu, and Dugu Yun all sharpened their gaze, hastily looking on!

This pinnacle battle was finally about to begin, wasn’t it?

"Supreme Sword! Godslayer!"

Lin Bai turned into a waning shadow, rapidly lunging past, and as he neared Yejian Jun, the tip of his sword lit up with an immensely brilliant cold glow, a sword cutting through the air with a sharp and explosive strike!

A Heaven-reaching sword aura slashed downwards!

Boom boom boom—

Under the terrifying sword aura, the earth splintered and dust billowed in all directions!

Many warriors witnessing this sword were all stunned, secretly exclaiming in awe: the power of this sword had completely surpassed the level of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, its force infinitely close to that of the Flying Sky Realm!

Ye Wuhuan, Zhao Longtu, and Dugu Yun above, being experts of the Flying Sky Realm, could naturally see that Lin Bai’s sword was nearly approaching the Flying Sky Realm in power, their faces immediately showing shock!

"The power of the Supreme Sword is commendable, but before me, it’s still not enough," Yejian Jun said with a cold laugh, as the Red Emperor Sword in his hand swept up, a sorrowfully beautiful trail of sword light sweeping across the sky!

A casual sword, nonetheless imbued with heavenly might, directly shattered Lin Bai’s sword!

An intensely fierce clashing sound came from the air!

Lin Bai’s figure pivoted, his sword having missed Yejian Jun, but he was undiscouraged, immediately twisting the sword tip sharply, both swords simultaneously flashing out with a dazzling glow, attacking Yejian Jun!

"Flying Swords! One Sword Becomes Thousands!"

Where the sword aura passed, not a blade of grass remained!

The Flying Swords alongside Qingge Sword and Purple Cloud Sword, three swords together, struck at Yejian Jun!
