Chapter 1369: Chapter 1367: The Pinnacle Battle! The Curtain Rises!

When Lin Bai and Crown Prince Fei Yun crossed swords upon the mountains, in the distant woods, another warrior was quietly lurking. His eyes darkened as he watched Lin Bai on the summit.

This person was none other than Young Master Hu Long!

He had arrived at this location early, and while Lin Bai was engaged with Star Prince, Young Master Hu Long was already in the woods.

It was only because Lin Bai was focused on dealing with Star Prince and Crown Prince Fei Yun that he didn’t notice Young Master Hu Long in time.

"I never expected this Dongfang Bai to become so strong that even Star Prince is no match for him. I thought I’d wait until Star Prince and he both suffered, then I’d come out and reap the benefits like a fisherman!"

"Unfortunately, now that Crown Prince Fei Yun is also so weak, it seems I have to make a move myself."

Young Master Hu Long’s face slightly chilled as he looked at Dongfang Bai and coldly said, "The Demonic Sword was originally discovered by Hu Hu. It originally belongs to Sword Mark City, to me!"

"All the glory and radiance you have on you, Dongfang Bai, originally belonged to me, Hu Long!"

"Today, I will take them all back!"

Young Master Hu Long coldly declared.

Immediately, Young Master Hu Long’s entire body gathered a sharp Sword Aura, ready to strike!

Atop the mountain.

Crown Prince Fei Yun, unable to contain his anger, charged at Lin Bai. Integrating the Fire Realm into his sword skill, he unleashed a devastating slash that seemed to destroy heaven and earth toward Lin Bai!

Lin Bai’s figure flickered, his eyes turning icy as a terrifying power gradually emerged from the Demonic Sword!

"Since you’re bent on seeking death, then I shall fulfill your wish!"

Lin Bai snorted coldly, as the Demonic Sword fiercely struck down!

The terrifying power, like the sky collapsing, slammed down on Crown Prince Fei Yun.

Crown Prince Fei Yun, of course, couldn’t withstand such a fearsome strike from Lin Bai; his body was sent flying backward, spewing blood continuously, nearly losing his life from this strike!

Witnessing this from the shadows, Young Master Hu Long immediately exclaimed in delight, "What an opportunity!"

Swoosh—

When Young Master Hu Long saw Lin Bai face-to-face with Crown Prince Fei Yun, he suddenly leaped from the shadows, his sword flashing like lightning as it struck at Lin Bai!

At that moment, Young Master Hu Long’s sword unleashed the full power of twin realms!

The speed of the Gale Realm, the penetration of the Water Droplet Realm!

In that instant, the power of the two realms converged on Young Master Hu Long’s sword.

The sword flew, aiming to kill!

Right after Lin Bai had sent Crown Prince Fei Yun flying with a strike, he suddenly felt a deadly cold breath, causing all the hairs on his body to stand on end.

If this sword hit Lin Bai, even if it didn’t kill him, it would leave him severely injured!

"Hmph! Young Master Hu Long, from the First Step of the Sky Ladder, to resort to such despicable sneak attacks!"

"Being lumped with such a villain as you, truly brings shame to my life!"

Just as Young Master Hu Long’s exceptionally strong sword was about to hit Lin Bai, suddenly a cold snort sounded.

Immediately!

The sky changed, the initially clear heavens suddenly erupted with wind and clouds, dark clouds mixing with thunder roaring in the cloud tops, a scene like the end of the world.

Young Master Hu Long’s complexion changed, and he hastily looked up!

He saw a black sword aura sweeping across the sky, shattering the earth as it struck at Young Master Hu Long.

"Not good!"

Young Master Hu Long cried out, feeling a terrifying destructive force from the sword.

It was as if this sword strike was meant to annihilate the Sun, Moon, and Stars, to obliterate everything under the heavens!

Young Master Hu Long hurriedly withdrew his sword and rapidly flew backward a thousand meters!

Boom—

As this black Sword Aura slashed through the air, by the time Young Master Hu Long had retreated a thousand meters, it tore through his chest, sending fresh blood spraying into the sky.

At the same time, the power of this black Sword Aura hadn’t dissipated, but directly struck the earth, howling as it moved, leaving behind a thousand-meter-long Sword Mark on the ground that exuded a terrifying Sword Intention that took one’s breath away!

After the black Sword Aura landed, a black-clothed Warrior, holding a Sharp Sword, landed on the Mountain!

"Legacy of the Demon Sword! Zhang Jianxing!"

Young Master Hu Long was forced back by Zhang Jianxing’s sword strike, and upon looking down, he saw the strike had nearly split him wide open!

"Thank you, Brother Zhang," Lin Bai said, looking at Zhang Jianxing with a grateful expression.

Had it not been for Zhang Jianxing stepping in, Young Master Hu Long’s sword strike wouldn’t have killed Lin Bai, but it would have severely injured him.

"Young Master Hu Long actually came, and I didn’t detect his presence," Lin Bai said, looking at the retreating Young Master Hu Long with a hint of coldness on his face.

Zhang Jianxing calmly spoke, "Facing continuous battles against Star Prince and Crown Prince Fei Yun, it’s reasonable that you failed to notice both me and Young Master Hu Long!"

"After all, the pressure at the Young Master Level is substantial."

Zhang Jianxing had great understanding for Lin Bai.

In fact, Zhang Jianxing had arrived earlier than Star Prince.

The moment Zhang Jianxing had sensed the Sword Aura fluctuations in this area, the Demon Sword resonated with him, and he knew Lin Bai was here.

Zhang Jianxing had just arrived and was about to reveal himself, but then he saw Crown Prince Fei Yun and Star Prince leave first, giving Zhang Jianxing a moment of pause. Then he noticed Young Master Hu Long hiding among the trees, apparently already gathering Spiritual Power.

Therefore, Zhang Jianxing didn’t rush to appear.

What Lin Bai didn’t know was that Zhang Jianxing had actually arrived before Star Prince and Crown Prince Fei Yun, yet Lin Bai had only spotted Star Prince and Crown Prince Fei Yun and not Zhang Jianxing.

"This place sure looks lively. Star Prince, Crown Prince Fei Yun, Young Master Hu Long, I didn’t expect you to get here before me. That’s not very nice!"

At this moment, Young Master Qian Shui slowly emerged from the forest.

"Wine Fairy, you’re here too."

From another direction, Ni Xiangen also arrived, smiling tenderly at everyone present.

Ni Xiangen broke through the Cloud Sky and appeared mid-air, laughing sweetly, "It seems I’m neither too early nor too late."

Young Master Qian Shui smiled, "You’re actually late. You didn’t see the battle between Brother Dongfang, Star Prince, and Crown Prince Fei Yun!"

Ni Xiangen laughed, "It doesn’t matter. At least I haven’t missed the main event, the clash between the Demonic Sword and the Demon Sword!"

Young Master Qian Shui nodded in agreement, feeling Ni Xiangen made a good point. The battle between Lin Bai and Star Prince lacked appeal, but the duel between the Two Demonic Swords, after six thousand years, was the real highlight!

Every Warrior in Purple Gold City, upon seeing Zhang Jianxing, the Magical Sword Inheritor, appear on the Mountain, gasped in surprise.

Then, as Young Master Qian Shui and Ni Xiangen appeared, the whole Purple Gold City erupted in shock.

"Successor of the Demonic Sword, Legacy of the Demon Sword!"

"Star Prince, Young Master Qian Shui, Young Master Hu Long, Wine Fairy!"

"These are the most watched geniuses of this year. It seems they are about to duel for supremacy."

"Is it starting? The greatest battle of this year in Purple Gold City!"

All the warriors in the city were filled with anticipation.

Even the Lord of Purple Gold City and the leaders of the Seven Major Sects stopped drinking, standing up, their gazes intensely fixed on the Projection Stone Wall.

The pinnacle battle on the Lingnan Continent was about to begin!
