The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1395 - 1392: The Second Son of the Lin Family! Lin Rong!

Chapter 1395: Chapter 1392: The Second Son of the Lin Family! Lin Rong!

As a large number of disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect received Zhu Lie’s call for help, they flocked towards the Lin Family of East City from various locations in Dongshuang City, heralding the beginning of an epic battle between the Demon Beasts and the Sword Cultivators at the Lin Family residence.

The Lin Family, as the foremost family within Dongshuang City, had an extraordinarily profound heritage, commanding a place of respect even across the Lingnan Continent!

Lin Bai watched Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian leave, then immediately turned around and charged into the Zhang family mansion, beginning a frenzied hunt to slay the Demon Beasts.

With each sword raise and fall, Lin Bai had no idea just how many Demon Beasts he had killed.

Half an hour later, most of the Demon Beasts inside the Zhang family residence had been cleanly slaughtered by Lin Bai and the other disciples who stayed behind, while some weaker Demon Beasts embarrassingly fled.

Standing atop the ruins of the Zhang family home, Lin Bai spoke wordlessly, "The second greatest family of Dongshuang City, to end up in such a sorry state, who knows if there are any Warriors still alive here?"

Before arriving in Dongshuang City, Lin Bai remembered that the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect had assigned him two tasks: to kill the Demon Beasts and rescue any surviving Warriors.

Of course, everyone knew that seven days had already passed since the massacre in Dongshuang City, and the chances of any Warrior within the city still being alive were minimal.

But Lin Bai did not give up. Watching the other disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect leave the Zhang family mansion to hunt other Demon Beasts, Lin Bai stayed behind to search for any surviving Warriors.

Lin Bai approached a pond near the Zhang family residence when suddenly, a water arrow shot explosively out of the lake, aiming sharply at his back!

Lin Bai’s hairs stood on end, and he sprang into the air, narrowly avoiding the water arrow as it struck where he had just been standing.

"Who?"

"Are there still Demon Beasts that haven’t escaped?"

Lin Bai was surprised for a moment.

Splash— A faint disturbance emanated from the lake bottom, and as Lin Bai focused his gaze, he caught sight of a shadow sinking rapidly towards the bottom, vanishing from his view in the blink of an eye.

Lin Bai leaped forth, plunging into the lake.

Immediately, he saw a monstrous fish beneath the lake, its fierce gaze locked onto him as it charged. It opened its mouth and shot sharp water arrows straight at Lin Bai’s face!

"I didn’t kill you just now, and you consider yourself lucky enough to dive in and seek death?"

The monstrous fish bellowed in human speech, enraged.

"Third Level of the Yin Saint!" Lin Bai recognized the cultivation of the monstrous fish, his expression hardened as he swung his Demonic Sword, sending a burst of sword light slicing through the curtain of water, heading straight for the fish.

Shoot shoot shoot— Waves of water arrows collided with the sword light, explosively tearing the lake bottom asunder!

Failing to kill the monster with one strike, Lin Bai’s figure flickered, merging his sword with the brilliance of the Aurora Realm. Sparkling sword light flared up from the lake bottom, piercing unerringly towards the head of the monstrous fish.

"Broken Night!"

With a splash, the fish’s head was pierced straight through by Lin Bai’s sword, its blood rolling thickly in the water.

Without a second word, Lin Bai quickly began refining the Demon Blood with his Devouring Sword Spirit, then collected the corpse of the monstrous fish.

"Hmm?"

After killing the fish, Lin Bai was about to leave when he suddenly noticed that the commotion of the battle had stirred up the lake’s silt, revealing a large bronze door submerged beneath, catching his attention.

Lin Bai slowly approached the bottom of the lake, his sword light flashed, cutting through the thick mud, and indeed, there was a bronze door hidden beneath!

"There’s actually a Magic Circle Prohibition hiding the aura on this bronze door! No wonder I couldn’t sense its presence even from such a close distance."

Standing before the bronze door, Lin Bai spoke with curiosity, "What could be behind this door? Could it maybe be the Zhang family’s treasury?"

"Let’s go in and see."

Lin Bai pondered for a moment and realized that the bronze door must have never been opened by anyone.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Breaking Prohibition!"

Lin Bai activated the Martial Soul Secret Skill, and the power of the Devouring Sword Spirit permeated his sword blade, striking the bronze door and opening a breach in the Magic Circle Prohibition above. His figure flickered as he charged through the Magic Circle and pushed open the bronze door!

Upon entering, the space beyond the bronze door was enveloped in darkness, so pitch-black that one could not see their own fingers.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the instant Lin Bai stepped through the bronze door, a bright sword light surged directly at his face. At the same time, an enraged roar came from a man: "I’ll fight you beasts with everything I’ve got!"

Although the sword light was fierce, Lin Bai also noticed that its power was lacking, and the Warrior who executed this Sword Skill had at most the strength at the fifth or sixth layer of the Flying Sky Realm!

Lin Bai reached out a hand and effortlessly clamped the incoming Treasure Sword between his fingers!

At this moment, Lin Bai took out a Night Illuminating Pearl from his Storage Bag, dispelling the darkness around him.

Lin Bai also saw the man before him, covered in blood with multiple wounds on his body, his arms and a leg brutally broken, in an utterly wretched state.

"Who are you?" Lin Bai asked coldly.

The man, noticing that Lin Bai did not have Demonic Qi, immediately exclaimed: "You’re not from the Demon Clan?"

Lin Bai stated indifferently, "I am an Inner Disciple of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Dongfang Bai!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s identity, tears flooded the man’s eyes. The Treasure Sword in his hand became unsteady, dropping to the ground as he collapsed.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you hiding here?"

Lin Bai asked curiously.

The man replied, "I am the Second Son of Lin Family from Dongshuang City, Lin Rong!"

Lin Bai frowned and inquired, "If I’m not mistaken, this place should be the mansion of the second-largest family in Dongshuang City, the Zhang family. As the Second Son of Lin Family, why are you here?"

Lin Rong shook his head and said, "I want to return to Lin Family, but can I really go back?"

Lin Bai looked at Lin Rong with confusion, quite puzzled.

Lin Rong explained, "The Lin Family is surrounded by a Great Array set up by Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, allowing people to enter but preventing them from leaving. Once someone enters, there’s no way out!"

Lin Bai asked curiously, "Then how did you get out?"

Lin Rong shook his head and said, "When Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint came to Lin Family, I was at the Pleasure House, not at Lin Family."

"But when I was about to return to Lin Family, I saw Demon Clan Powerhouses slaughtering inside. Countless servants and maids were wailing at the edge of the sealed Magic Circle, wanting to leave but unable to!"

"I witnessed my elder brother die at the edge of the Magic Circle; he saw me and told me to run, to leave quickly..."

"With nowhere to go, I could only seek help from the Zhang family, but as soon as I arrived, Demon Clan Powerhouses attacked, starting to slaughter the Zhang family, and I was stuffed by Father Zhang into this bronze door!"

Lin Rong expressed his pain, and Lin Bai could imagine the truly horrific scene!

Suddenly, at that moment.

Lin Rong seemed to remember something and shouted to Dongfang Bai, "Disciple of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, did you come here alone?"

Lin Bai replied, "Of course not, a thousand white-robed Disciples, a hundred blue-robed Disciples, a hundred yellow-robed..."

Lin Rong interrupted Lin Bai, shouting, "I don’t care how many of you came, quickly notify them, do not go to Lin Family, it’s a trap!"

Lin Bai was cut off by Lin Rong, and upon hearing his words, Lin Bai felt a chill running down his spine!
