The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1289 - 1287: Thirty-Three Nine-inch Sword Marks!

Chapter 1289: Chapter 1287: Thirty-Three Nine-inch Sword Marks!

"A pile of dog shit!" Mo Changyun, his forehead veins practically exploding with rage, glared at Lin Bai, eyes ablaze with furious fire!

Lin Bai replied, "I’m sorry, I misspoke."

"Your sword skill is worse than dog shit!"

Lin Bai smiled disdainfully.

The next moment, Mo Changyun completely lost control, as the sword intent emanating from his body swept across the entire place like a tempest, "Dongfang Bai, are you courting death?"

Gu Qingyun and Gujian Yun, witnessing Mo Changyun’s anger, immediately showed an unsightly expression!

Amid Mo Changyun’s fearsome sword intent, Lin Bai appeared relaxed as he smiled and turned towards the Sword Testing Stone, "Mo Changyun, watch closely, this is the Sword Art!"

Lin Bai’s sword flashed past the Sword Testing Stone like lightning.

Clang—

A loud boom resounded!

The terrifying force from Lin Bai’s sword blade struck the Sword Testing Stone, erupting in an explosion that shook the Martial Arts Arena of the Gu Family to its core.

After a violent tremor, a startling nine-inch Sword Mark brutally imprinted itself onto the Sword Testing Stone!

"Nine..."

"Nine inches!"

The multitude of warriors gasped in unison, so shocked by Lin Bai’s Sword Mark that their pupils dilated, staring as if they’d seen a ghost, their expressions frozen in place.

Gu Qingyun’s old face also tightened, disbelievingly gazing at the Sword Mark.

Meanwhile, Gujian Yun, her hand covering her mouth in shock, had eyes brimming with horror.

Although Gujian Yun knew of Lin Bai’s extraordinary Sword Art, she had never imagined that with an effortless strike, Lin Bai could leave a nine-inch Sword Mark on the Sword Testing Stone!

"Do you see now?"

Lin Bai turned back with a smile, addressing Mo Changyun.

At that moment, the angry flame in Mo Changyun’s eyes gradually turned into sheer shock, "How is this possible? How can this be? Your Sword Art Cultivation clearly isn’t as good as mine, your Cultivation isn’t as high as mine either, yet how could you leave a nine-inch Sword Mark on the Sword Testing Stone!"

"You cheated!"

"You must have cheated!"

Mo Changyun, beside himself with rage, roared at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai helplessly replied, "To lose is to lose, can’t you even accept defeat gracefully? You’re embarrassing yourself!"

"Fine, I’ll make you lose so convincingly that you’ll accept it wholeheartedly!"

Having said this, Lin Bai turned and looked towards the Sword Testing Stone, leaped up, and following the very same Sword Mark he had just made, he swung his sword dozens of times, each strike hitting the Sword Testing Stone!

Gu Qingyun, Gujian Yun, and all the warriors present watched Lin Bai with unmatched astonishment!

Intense vibrations emanated from within the Martial Arts Arena of the Gu Family.

After a short while, the shaking gradually subsided, and Lin Bai sheathed his sword in his Storage Bag before walking away from the Sword Testing Stone.

Only then did Gu Qingyun and Gujian Yun turn to look at the Sword Testing Stone, wanting to see how many inches the dozens of Sword Marks Lin Bai left behind were.

The crowd also looked on in unison.

What they saw on the Sword Testing Stone, a three-zhang tall black Stone Stele, from the very top to the bottom, Lin Bai had used Sword Marks to carve a line of words.

That line read: Mo Changyun eats shit!

After carving the words, Lin Bai sheathed his sword and left with nonchalance.

"Thirty-three Sword Marks! Each one precise, all nine inches exactly!"

"Good heavens! To leave thirty-three Sword Marks in one breath, all nine inches, could this unassuming man truly possess such an exceptional and superb mastery of the Sword Art?"

"Mo Changyun eats shit, hahaha..."

"Mo Changyun, now you understand that there’s always someone better, don’t you?"

"..."

Surrounding sword cultivators first were shocked by the thirty-three sword marks left by Lin Bai, and then burst into laughter when they recognized the characters formed by the sword marks!

Mo Changyun was so angry his face turned red, his eyes bulging as he stared at the thirty-three sword marks on the Sword Testing Stone along with the line of words, his rage boiling over, and he suddenly felt a surge of nausea rising in his chest.

Pfft—

Mo Changyun, overcome with anger, spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision darkened, and he collapsed backward!

"Fainted from anger?" Lin Bai looked at Mo Changyun and helplessly said, "That’s some pretty poor tolerance."

Gu Qingyun, in a panic, called out, "Someone quickly take Mr. Mo Changyun away for treatment."

Immediately, warriors of the Ancient Clan stepped forward to carry Mo Changyun away for treatment.

Gu Qingyun smiled faintly at Lin Bai and said, "Mr. Dongfang, please wait to the side, I will make my decision after I have seen the sword marks of the other sword cultivators..."

Before Gu Qingyun could finish, the sword cultivators below began to speak, "Head of the Gu Family, what’s there to see anymore? None of us can compare to this young Brother Dongfang Bai."

"Exactly, thirty-three sword marks, all are nine-inch sword marks, how can we compete?"

"We admit defeat."

All the warriors shook their heads and chuckled.

Lin Bai smiled faintly and bowed with his fists to the sword cultivators, "I acknowledge your words."

Gu Qingyun looked shocked and then laughed, "Well then, since the sword cultivators have all conceded and do not wish to continue competing, the sword cultivator selected by the Ancient Clan will be Dongfang Bai."

"Friends from afar, you have come a long way and the Ancient Clan hasn’t been the most gracious host. The side hall has been set up for a banquet, and you are all welcome to eat and drink your fill at the Ancient Clan before resting for a few days and then departing."

Gu Qingyun said with a smile.

"Thank you, Head of the Gu Family, for your hospitality," the sword cultivators said gratefully.

As Gu Qingyun had said, many of these sword cultivators were experts who had traveled from various parts of the Feiyun Dynasty. While they were warriors, the long journey had indeed been arduous!

The goodwill of Gu Qingyun to invite them to rest was a pleasant surprise to the sword cultivators.

Gu Qingyun brought Gu Jian Yun to Lin Bai’s side, smiling as he held his fists in a salute, "Mr. Dongfang, my daughter’s sword cultivation for the following two months will be under your guidance."

Lin Bai gave a mischievous smile looking at Gu Jian Yun, "No problem, Head of the Gu Family, rest assured."

Gu Jian Yun, seeing the sly smile on Lin Bai’s face, immediately felt annoyed, and the thought of having to deal with this shameless person for two months made her extremely uncomfortable!

But Gu Jian Yun had no choice.

Lin Bai’s sword art cultivation had indeed dominated the competition today, unmatched by anyone.

This also meant that Lin Bai’s sword art cultivation was indeed superior to hers and to all the sword cultivators who had come today.

For the sake of the All Nations Disciple Recruitment Conference, Gu Jian Yun could only silently bear it.

"Shameless person!" Gu Jian Yun still looked at Lin Bai furiously, her gaze unfriendly.

Lin Bai, feeling awkward, touched his nose and did not reply.

Gu Qingyun’s face darkened as he said, "Mr. Dongfang, my daughter has been spoiled by me since childhood. If she has said anything that has upset you, I hope you won’t take it to heart!"

"For the next two months, if Mr. Dongfang needs anything, feel free to ask the Ancient Clan. As long as it’s not excessive and within our power, I, Gu, will certainly not refuse."

Gu Qingyun said cheerfully.

Lin Bai said, "Since Head of the Gu Family has put it that way, then I’ll speak frankly."

"I can teach Gu Jian Yun sword cultivation, but I want a spot in the All Nations Disciple Recruitment Conference."
