The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1326 - 1324: Demon Blood Acquired!

Chapter 1326: Chapter 1324: Demon Blood Acquired!

Lin Bai heard the Auction Elder directly announce his name and identity, and his face also showed slight annoyance, but he quickly concealed it, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and waited for the final result.

In another corner of the Elegant Pavilion, Gu Lingfei’s expression was gloomy, his slightly squinted eyes shimmering with a trace of sharpness.

Since Lin Bai called out the price of "250 million", there had been dead silence in the place, and even Gu Lingfei had not continued bidding!

Many warriors were wondering, could it be that Gu Lingfei feared the might of the Demonic Sword and decided to give up, not wanting to make an enemy of this Successor of the Demonic Sword?

But, after a long silence, Gu Lingfei with a gloomy face spoke up, "300 million!"

Whoosh—

When Gu Lingfei spoke, the crowd was in an uproar.

They all realized that Gu Lingfei was determined to compete with this Successor of the Demonic Sword.

"350 million."

Lin Bai immediately followed up with his price!

"400 million!"

Gu Lingfei, clenching his fists and with bloodshot eyes, almost squeezed these words out through clenched teeth.

Although the Blood of a Demonic Beast from the Yangshen Realm was extremely precious, at most it was worth around 300 million Spiritual Stones, and this was the limit; Gu Lingfei had also brought only 400 million Spiritual Stones with him.

This bid was almost certainly Gu Lingfei’s final price.

"450 million!"

Lin Bai again spoke up without any hesitation.

Hearing Lin Bai call out the next price without any hesitation, Gu Lingfei became so furious in the room that he nearly spat blood, looking fiercely in Lin Bai’s direction, "Well played, Successor of the Demonic Sword, you’re ruthless!"

"But don’t get cocky, sooner or later someone will deal with you!"

Gu Lingfei gritted his teeth and sat down in his chair, no longer continuing to bid!

After a long wait, the Auction Elder smiled meaningfully, glanced at Gu Lingfei’s Elegant Pavilion, and chuckled lightly, "Well then, this Blood of a Demonic Beast from the Yangshen Realm is sold for 450 million, belonging to Dongfang Bai!"

"This auction has now successfully concluded. If you still desire more, our Tianbao Tower has other treasures for you to check out!"

Lin Bai’s mouth curved into a relaxed smile.

Spiritual Stones were trivial to Lin Bai, especially since these stones were obtained by robbing and killing, rendering them less precious.

Soon after, a maid delivered the Jade Bottle filled with the Blood of a Demonic Beast from the Yangshen Realm to Lin Bai’s Elegant Pavilion; Lin Bai promptly paid the Spiritual Stones, took the Jade Bottle, and left the Tianbao Tower.

The night in Chaoyang City brought a light drizzle.

Lin Bai left the Tianbao Tower and headed straight out of the city without turning back.

Lin Bai’s goal on this trip was the Blood of a Demonic Beast from the Yangshen Realm. Having acquired it, there was no further reason for him to stay in Chaoyang City.

Walking through the light rain, Lin Bai let the raindrops fall on him.

As Lin Bai walked ahead, numerous indistinct shadows followed him from behind through the night.

Although Lin Bai noticed the followers, he ignored them. After leaving Chaoyang City, Lin Bai did not head to the Ferry Crossing, but instead walked towards a Barren Mountain outside the city.

In the misty rain, Lin Bai’s figure gradually receded!

In the night, suddenly, a bright Sword Aura cut through the darkness, the dazzling light aiming straight for Lin Bai’s neck.

This was an Assassin skilled in the art of hiding; this sword strike was fierce and unstoppable!

Lin Bai frowned, the Demonic Sword unsheathed, and a purple Sword Aura flashed, followed by the sound of clashing metal in the night.

With a crisp "snap", the Assassin’s Treasure Sword was severed by the Demonic Sword, and at the same time, Lin Bai also crushed the man’s throat. The man fell into a blood pool, his blood mixing with the rainwater, forming a river of blood!

"It seems tonight is destined not to be peaceful."

After killing the man, Lin Bai turned and looked back at the woods.

From the shadows, slowly emerged dozens, even hundreds of silhouettes. They were all ferocious, launching their attacks towards Lin Bai!

These warriors, all from within Chaoyang City, were unable to restrain their desire for the Demonic Sword after discovering that Lin Bai planned to leave the city today.

Once they let Lin Bai leave, in the vastness of Lingnan, it would not be easy to find him again!

Clang clang clang—

Amid the woods, flashes of Sword Aura sparked up, accompanied by agonizing screams and the sounds of blood splattering.

In just half an hour, over a hundred martial arts experts had perished in the woods.

Among these experts, most were at the seventh or eighth level of the Flying Sky Realm, including many who had long been famous in the Yuntian Dynasty.

Crack—

The rain in the sky was getting heavier.

A bolt of lightning pierced through the night, illuminating the scene in the woods.

A white-robed man was seen holding a purple sword blade, his face slightly pale, a faint mocking smile on his lips; after glancing at the surrounding corpses, he continued to walk forward!

As soon as Lin Bai left this area of the woods,

Gu Lingfei arrived with a group of warriors, seeing the bodies scattered around, his face darkened, "So many experts have actually died by his hand?"

"It seems the Demonic Sword is indeed extraordinary!"

With a flash in his eyes, Gu Lingfei sped forward with the crowd.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Shadows streaked through the air like meteors across the sky.

Soon, Gu Lingfei and the group of warriors caught up with Lin Bai.

Lin Bai stopped, turned around, and looked at the approaching Gu Lingfei with a faint smile.

Gu Lingfei stepped forward and said coldly, "I have long heard the name of the Demonic Sword, but have not had the luck to learn from it; may I have the fortune today to witness its power?"

Lin Bai replied, "When the Demonic Sword is unsheathed, it is meant to kill."

Gu Lingfei chuckled, "How fortunate! I have brought over a hundred experts from the Gu Family, so if Brother Dongfang has the ability, feel free to kill them all!"

The warriors from the Gu Family emitted a eerie aura, their eyes more ruthless under the rainy night, staring at Lin Bai, their eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Take action!"

Gu Lingfei snorted coldly and took out a sharp sword from his storage bag, charging towards Lin Bai.

Simultaneously, other experts from the Gu Family also made their moves!

Lin Bai turned around, tightly gripped the Demonic Sword, and struck at those charging from behind, his sword edge vicious and unparalleled in sharpness; with each streak of sword light, a spray of blood flew into the air.

Swish swish swish—

In the blink of an eye, over a dozen experts had died by Lin Bai’s hand.

A flash of sword flowers shot out from Gu Lingfei’s hand!

This fierce, life-threatening strike caused Lin Bai to feel a suffocating sense of danger!

Vibrating~~~, a surge of sword power burst forth from the Demonic Sword, Lin Bai’s strike collided with Gu Lingfei!

The terrifying power fluctuations from the Demonic Sword sent Gu Lingfei flying backwards, though it did not kill him, instead making Gu Lingfei’s face tighten, his sword buzzing as a compelling sword force spread out!

A furious thrust of his sword seemed to pierce through the void!

This strike, infused with Gu Lingfei’s Water Droplet Realm, was sharp and unmatched!

"Demons and Monsters!" Lin Bai’s eyes widened in shock, his body covered in towering black mist, a sword light burst through the air, surpassing the lightning in the sky, striking Gu Lingfei’s sword, sending Gu Lingfei flying back, blood spewing from his mouth, crashing into a large tree a hundred meters away, snapping it in half!

"The power of the Demonic Sword is indeed astonishing," Gu Lingfei spat out the blood in his mouth, standing up with a chilling gaze.

After injuring Gu Lingfei, Lin Bai turned his blade and slaughtered all the remaining Gu Family warriors under his sword!

"Shall we continue fighting?"

After killing all the Gu Family warriors, Lin Bai coldly looked at Gu Lingfei and asked.

Gu Lingfei’s face was extremely dark; he stared at Lin Bai, at the Demonic Sword in his hand, his face showing a hint of dread.

Rustle rustle—

As Gu Lingfei and Lin Bai stared each other down on the rainy night, Lin Bai suddenly frowned, looking towards the distant woods.

"Another expert?" Gu Lingfei was also startled, quickly turning to look!

From the distant woods, a group of men in black emerged, their bodies exuding a thick, lingering aura of death and murder, eyes like the cold gaze of the Grim Reaper!

"I am Wu Chun! Dongfang Bai, by the order of Crown Prince Fei Yun, I am here to take your head back," from among these men in black, a fierce and no-nonsense man stepped forward!
