The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1398 - 1395: The Resting Pill!

Chapter 1398: Chapter 1395: The Resting Pill!

The power of the Devouring Sword Spirit forcibly tore open a huge wound in the chests of the two demons, blood gushing out wildly, absorbed by the Devouring Sword Spirit, allowing Lin Bai to break through to the Yin Saint Realm!

"What is this power? It actually sucked away my Demon Blood?" both the Crane Demon and Tiger Demon watched Lin Bai holding the sword blade with faces full of horror.

"If I’m not guessing wrong, it should be that sword..." the Tiger Demon said, his mind in turmoil.

"Old Crane, don’t hold back any longer, take him down!"

"This kid is a bit strange!" the Tiger Demon shouted loudly.

The Crane Demon thought the same, and immediately, regardless of the wound on his body, struck out like lightning towards Lin Bai!

Lin Bai saw the two demons attacking and, before he could recover, was struck by their pincer attack!

"Run!"

His eyes flashed, Lin Bai’s figure darted away like lightning from the hands of the two demons, heading straight for the distance.

Buzz—

Just then, a sharp, unparalleled sword aura burst out from the shadows, carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth, striking at Lin Bai’s chest.

The sword struck too quickly, and the moment Lin Bai realized, the sword tip had already hit his chest!

Pfft—

Lin Bai, blood and all, flew out, crashing onto the ground a hundred meters away, a fierce look on his face. He looked up to see, at the end of the street, a man in a purple robe holding a peerless sharp sword, walking step by step towards him!

"Zhu Lie!" Lin Bai looked at the man in the purple robe, roaring angrily.

Zhu Lie coldly said, "If you had handed over the Jade Slip for your trip to Dongshuang City to Zhu Meng in the Treasure-seeking Pavilion, you wouldn’t have ended up like this today!"

"Dongfang Bai, how does the saying go? This is called reaping what you sow!"

Lin Bai, propping himself up on the Demonic Sword, said coldly, "You colluded with the Valley of Demons, betrayed the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and trapped tens of thousands of fellow disciples in peril. Even if the Zhu Family died a hundred times, it wouldn’t be enough to quell the hatred!"

Zhu Lie scoffed coldly, "Die a hundred times? Hahaha, my Zhu Family will not die. Within a hundred years, the Litian Dynasty will surely belong to my Zhu Family’s grasp!"

"And at that time, my elder brother will also ascend to the position of Sword Venerable of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Even if it is discovered that the Zhu Family colluded with the Valley of Demons then, who would dare to oppose us?"

Zhu Lie sneered.

"Don’t be too arrogant, Tiandao’s reincarnation spares no one!" Lin Bai bit his teeth and roared in anger.

Zhu Lie huffed, "You, defeated by my sword, a waste, dare to threaten me! You’re courting death!"

With a flash of his sword, Zhu Lie thrust at Lin Bai.

"Sword Immortal!"

Lin Bai met the attack head-on, his sword strike ethereal as a dream!

But Zhu Lie was a Purple Robe Disciple, also a ninth-level Warrior of the Yin Saint Realm, with a great disparity of power. The instant their swords clashed, Lin Bai was once again sent flying like a kite with its string cut.

This time, when Lin Bai landed, his whole body was wounded by Sword Qi, and blood flowed non-stop!

Zhu Lie walked step by step towards the fallen Lin Bai, coldly saying, "Including you, you’re the last one!"

The Crane Demon approached and coldly said, "Zhu Lie, he’s the person we need; you cannot kill him!"

Zhu Lie smiled slightly and said, "My Zhu Family’s deal with the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint is to lure the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect here. Crane Demon, make sure you remember the merits of my Zhu Family!"

The Tiger Demon bared its teeth and laughed maniacally, "Rest assured, Zhu Lie Son of Prince, the Spiritual Stones from selling that outstanding Warrior we caught last time were split seventy-thirty with your Zhu Family. This time will be no exception."

"Alright, take him and go. We’ve lingered enough in Dongshuang City, it’s been too boring."

The Tiger Demon came over, picked up the severely injured Lin Bai, and headed towards the Lin Family!

...

Tens of thousands of Demon Clan Powerhouses gathered at the Lin Family, surrounding the Warriors of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

Faced with such Strong Ones, even the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect found it hard to resist at this moment.

"Junior Brother Dongfang, I hope that you have the favor of the heavens," Jiang Jing said blandly.

Jing Shu and Zhuo Lian were also worried about Lin Bai.

"I wonder if Junior Brother Dongfang has escaped?" Jing Shu spoke softly.

"If he has escaped and informs the Sect of the situation inside Dongshuang City, there might still be hope for us!" Zhuo Lian said, his expression slightly agitated.

Zhuo Lian knew in his heart that Lin Bai was their only hope now.

Boom—

Just then.

In front of the people of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, something heavy was thrown down from the sky.

All the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were startled and hurriedly looked forward, only to see that the fallen figure was Lin Bai, already injured beyond recognition!

"Junior Brother Dongfang..."

Jiang Jing and Jing Shu both exclaimed in horror.

Whereas, Zhuo Lian’s face was full of despair: "It’s all over; now everything is lost."

All the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect who saw Lin Bai’s miserable state turned their heads away, unable to bear the sight.

The disciples who came to Dongshuang City to hunt demons could be considered entirely wiped out!

Of course, except for Zhu Lie!

As the Crane Demon threw Lin Bai to the ground, the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint chuckled and said, "Isn’t this Dongfang Bai who decapitated our young strong one from the Valley of Demons with a single stroke over the Cold Mountain in Purple Gold City?"

"Now the renowned successor of the Demonic Sword throughout the Lingnan Continent."

"How did he end up in such a plight?"

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint mocked with a laugh.

Lin Bai glared fiercely at the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint and said, "Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, I should have let Senior Gui Jing kill you when I had the chance, but it doesn’t matter, you will eventually die by my hand sooner or later!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s threat, the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint chuckled dismissively, "I’m afraid you won’t have that opportunity!"

"All disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect present, listen up, as long as you do as I say, I won’t kill you!"

"Bring them the Resting Pill,"

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint ordered.

Immediately, several shape-shifted members of the Demon Clan pulled elixir pills from their storage bags and walked towards each of the warriors!

One of the white-robed disciples exclaimed in horror, "What is this thing? I won’t eat it, I won’t!"

The cries of the white-robed disciple echoed continuously.

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint frowned in displeasure: "Kill!"

Upon hearing the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint’s command, a demon instantly clawed the white-robed disciple’s head off.

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint continued, "The Resting Pill won’t take your lives; after taking it, if there’s no antidote, you will fall asleep for almost a year!"

"Relax, as I said, as long as you obediently follow my orders, I won’t be taking your lives!"

After finishing his statement, the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint ordered the Demon Clan powerhouses to continue forcefully feeding the Resting Pills to the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

Meanwhile, the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint himself took out elixir pills from his storage bag and fed them directly to Lin Bai, Zhao Qing, and Bao Jun.

"Get lost!" Lin Bai saw the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint heading straight for him and roared furiously.

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint’s eyes turned cold, "Do you really think I wouldn’t dare kill you?"

Lin Bai looked back at the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint with icy eyes.

Lin Bai knew clear as day that once the Resting Pill was consumed, he would completely lose consciousness, and he would be at the mercy of the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint.

Seeing Lin Bai’s resistance, Jiang Jing hurriedly approached and said, "Senior, please calm down, that’s not what Junior Brother Dongfang meant..."

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint cast a glare at Jiang Jing and ordered, "You feed him!"

After speaking, the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint handed the Resting Pill to Jiang Jing.

Trembling, Jiang Jing took the Resting Pill and walked up to Lin Bai.

He squatted down and whispered, "Junior Brother Dongfang, the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint only wants to sell us to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom. As long as we take the Resting Pills, we won’t be harmed for now!"

"Once we get past this crisis, I will find a way to rescue you and our brothers."

Lin Bai’s eyes bore into Jiang Jing, revealing a ferocious glint, "Brother Jiang Jing!"

Lin Bai was puzzled; Jiang Jing seemed to know the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint quite well! No! It was like Jiang Jing was very aware of the trade lines between the Valley of Demons and the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!

What was the Valley of Demons capturing warriors for? Where were they selling these warriors? And how were they being trafficked? Lin Bai saw from Jiang Jing’s eyes that he seemed to know everything!

Lin Bai learned from Lin Rong’s mouth that the Valley of Demons captured humans and sold them to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!

But how did Jiang Jing know?

Could it be that Jiang Jing was also in cahoots with the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint?

"Now is not the time for explanations, Junior Brother Dongfang; after we’re safe, I will explain everything to you."

"Junior Brother Dongfang, we must survive. Only by staying alive can you see more wonderful places, only by staying alive is there hope..."

"As long as you don’t resist, take the Resting Pill, and I will ensure your safety!"

Jiang Jing fed the Resting Pill to Lin Bai. Although Lin Bai was full of questions, he did not resist.

Lin Bai stared at Jiang Jing, watching him place the Resting Pill into his own mouth, and as the pill took effect, Lin Bai immediately lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

Soon, all the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect lay on the ground, and the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint said with satisfaction, "Take them away; we’re headed to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom!"

The Tiger Demon and Crane Demon instructed the Demon Clan powerhouses to imprison the disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and head towards the Hanhai Demon Kingdom.

"Zhu Lie, I thank your Zhu Family for your cooperation this time. Rest assured, the profits from this transaction will be substantial, and your Zhu Family will not be left without its share."

"I shall take my leave now."

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint spoke indifferently.

Zhu Lie smiled, "Take care, Senior!"

The Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint, leading tens of thousands of demon beasts and disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, left Dongshuang City in unison.

Standing atop the ruins of Dongshuang City, Zhu Lie watched the silhouette of the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint and his eyes flickered with a cold light, "Pfft, do you really think you got the better end of the deal?"

"Beasts will be beasts; brainless!"

"How could you ever imagine that the finest treasure would be buried beneath the ruins of this Dongshuang City?"

Zhu Lie crouched down, his gaze fixed on the ground as a smile slowly formed on his lips, "It seems time for me to act out the next part of the play, I need to figure out a way to convince the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect."

"Also, I must inform my father to come and prepare to mine the Incorruptible Divine Iron."

Zhu Lie’s figure flickered, and he vanished within Dongshuang City.
