The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1332 - 1330: Aftermath of the Calamity!

Chapter 1332: Chapter 1330: Aftermath of the Calamity!

Rainy Night’s rain, fell the whole night.

Throughout this night, not only was there no peace on the barren mountain outside the city.

Even within Chaoyang City, there was a place where the lights did not go out all night!

This place was... Qingxin Wine Shop!

At dawn, a young girl holding an oil-paper umbrella returned to the Qingxin Wine Shop, put away the umbrella, and happily approached Ni Xiangen.

Ni Xiangen stood at the building’s window, gazing far into the emerging dawn light, and asked vaguely, "How is it over at the barren mountain?"

The young girl was none other than Ni Xiangen’s maid, Xiang’er.

Xiang’er excitedly said, "Miss, you have no idea, that Dongfang Bai really is a formidable character!"

"Just after leaving Chaoyang City, Dongfang Bai was already targeted by several waves of strong enemies."

"First, it was the power of the big families within Chaoyang City, as well as the city’s underworld forces; they were the first group to clash with Lin Bai!"

"Unfortunately, within just half an hour, Lin Bai had completely slaughtered all of those people!"

"The second group consisted of the members of the Gu Family, including Gu Lingfei, and the Death Warrior Legion of the Feiyun Dynasty. The other warriors from the Gu Family were killed by Dongfang Bai, but regrettably, Gu Lingfei, a genius of the second step on the Sky Ladder, managed to fight desperately and escape!"

"As for the Feiyun Dynasty’s Death Warrior Legion, over a hundred men were wiped out, not even the leader managed to flee!"

At this point, Xiang’er paused, and Ni Xiangen lightly laughed, "Well, a warrior on the second step of the Sky Ladder isn’t that easy to kill. What happened afterward?"

Xiang’er continued, "The third wave of assassins included Third Prince Yun Tianyi and Liang Chunrong from the Yuntian Dynasty, along with over ten thousand men from the Sky Dome Corps!"

"Miss, can you guess the outcome?"

Ni Xiangen pondered briefly, "Dongfang Bai killed Third Prince Yun Tianyi and then broke through the encirclement."

Xiang’er, with her eyes wide in shock, exclaimed, "Miss, how did you know?"

Ni Xiangen smiled faintly, "It’s not hard to deduce the outcome. Liang Chunrong and Gu Lingfei, both geniuses on the second step of the Sky Ladder."

"A warrior capable of reaching the second step does have skills, and even though Dongfang Bai’s sword art is unmatched, killing them would be quite a bother!"

"Dongfang Bai is a clever man; he wouldn’t engage in such a thankless challenge. Knowing full well that killing Liang Chunrong would be difficult, he naturally wouldn’t rashly attempt to kill him!"

"The best strategy then would be to kill the Third Prince. Once the Third Prince is dead, the troops of the Sky Dome Corps would fall into disarray without a leader, and the death of a commander would greatly affect the military force."

"This was Dongfang Bai’s only way out!"

Ni Xiangen said with a light chuckle.

Xiang’er laughed, "Miss is incredibly sharp. The situation in the barren mountain is exactly as you analyzed!"

"I truly admire this Dongfang Bai; not only is his sword art so profound, but his cunning intelligence has allowed him to forcefully carve a path to survival in such a desperate situation!"

"If I had been surrounded by the ten thousand warriors of the Sky Dome Corps, I suppose I could do nothing but resign myself to my fate."

Xiang’er stuck out her tongue and laughed awkwardly.

Ni Xiangen laughed, "That’s why you can only remain on the third step of the Sky Ladder, unable to advance further!"

"Dongfang Bai has broken out of the encirclement, so that should be the end of it."

Xiang’er quickly said, "Miss, it’s quite the opposite. I originally thought that after Dongfang Bai broke through the encirclement, the siege would be over, and I was prepared to return."

"But Miss, do you know? When I was about to leave, I saw Second Grandpa Hu from Swordscar City of the Feiyun Dynasty arriving!"

Ni Xiangen was taken aback and said, "Second Grandpa Hu, a Yin Saint Expert!"

"And what happened next?"

Xiang’er replied, "When Second Grandpa Hu was about to kill Dongfang Bai with a single sword, a black shadow suddenly appeared and rescued Lin Bai."

"Somebody saved Dongfang Bai? Did you manage to see who it was?"

Ni Xiangen inquired.

Xiang’er pondered, "Although that black shadow was dressed in black and had their face covered, I could still tell that it was a woman, and she had a kind of aura about her that I find distasteful!"

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be that scheming fox from Swordscar City."

Ni Xiangen arched an eyebrow, interest piqued, and said, "Has Hu Xian’er arrived?"

Xiang’er nodded slightly.

Ni Xiangen chuckled, "The people of Swordscar City are really interesting. The deputy city lord, Second Grandpa Hu, wants to kill Dongfang Bai, while the young mistress of the same city wants to save him. This family truly is amusing!"

Xiang’er said, "Miss, now that Dongfang Bai has been targeted by Swordscar City, why don’t I follow him and seize an opportunity to bring the Demonic Sword back to you!"

"That Demonic Sword does have an extraordinary origin!"

Xiang’er said with a smile.

Ni Xiangen laughed, "No need, Dongfang Bai won’t die!"

Xiang’er, taken aback, asked, "Miss, how do you know?"

Ni Xiangen laughed, "Intuition!"

"Let’s go, Xiang’er, pack up, we’re heading to Purple Gold City."

"We’ve already stayed in Chaoyang City for a few extra days for Dongfang Bai, it’s time to set off."

"Oh, oh." Xiang’er responded and turned to pack.

...

Dawn rose, and the rainy night had just cleared!

Many warriors got up early the next morning and went to the Barren Mountain, wanting to see who it was that had caused such a commotion there the night before.

But once they entered and saw, most of the warriors exclaimed in shock!

"Are all the warriors from the three great families and the underground syndicates of Chaoyang City dead?"

"My God, these warriors all had the cultivation of the seventh or eighth level of the Flying Sky Realm, and many of them had a rising reputation in not just Chaoyang City, but throughout the Yuntian Dynasty!"

"..."

"These corpses belong to the Gu Family’s warriors!"

"And those seem to be... from the Feiyun Dynasty’s Death Warrior Legion!"

"Up ahead there’s more..."

"They are soldiers from the Sky Dome Corps of the Yuntian Dynasty!"

"And the Third Prince!"

"Good heavens, who killed them?"

"..."

"It looks like I wasn’t wrong, these people were probably killed by Dongfang Bai!"

"Successor of the Demonic Sword indeed, he lives up to his reputation!"

"Yes, it has been a tale spread throughout the Territories of all nations, that the emergence of the Five Swords of Gods, Devils, Monsters, Immortals, and Ghosts, each possessing the power to shake the very foundation of the Lingnan continent!"

"With the emergence of the Demonic Sword this time, it has stirred up such a huge turmoil in just over a month, who knows how many more will die under the Demonic Sword in the future!"

The warriors who had arrived at Barren Mountain were all wearing looks of horror.

Just as they said, ever since Lin Bai displayed the Demonic Sword to the world in Huanglong City, in just a short month, the emergence of the Demonic Sword had whipped up a tempest in Lingnan!

The guest ship filled with corpses on the Han river is still docked at the ferry crossing of Chaoyang City!

Outside Chaoyang City, on Barren Mountain, where the corpses of various strong ones lay scattered on the ground!

And this is just the beginning. What kind of turmoil will the Demonic Sword stir up on the Lingnan Continent in the future?

This legendary sword, capable of changing the fate of the Lingnan Continent... will surely show its edge to the world Under Heaven!
