The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 142 - 142 142 Direct Confrontation

142: Chapter 142: Direct Confrontation 142: Chapter 142: Direct Confrontation Three days later, Su Xianmei gracefully arrived at the door of Lin Bai’s secret chamber.

“Little Brother Lin Bai, the three-day term has come,” Su Xianmei said softly.

In the secret chamber, Lin Bai slightly opened his eyes, revealing a chilling glint, and smiled, “So, the three-day term is up, huh?

The time is just right.

I have already broken through to the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm.

I should be able to fight against people like Liyun Suan.”

The door to the secret chamber opened, and Lin Bai came out with a smile, saying, “Thank you, Sister Su, for your kindness.

Otherwise, I would not have stayed in the Treasure Pavilion for three more days.”

“You’re welcome.

After all, we are friends.

Be careful, I have discovered that Liyun Suan, Shang Tian, and Xu Jiangsheng have set up spies outside the Treasure Pavilion.

As soon as you leave, they will be the first to know,” Su Xianmei specifically instructed Lin Bai.

“If it had been three days earlier, I would certainly have had some apprehensions, but now, I will make all of them who dare to come become ghosts under my sword!” Lin Bai said confidently, “Sister Su, I take my leave.”

With that, Lin Bai walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

Watching Lin Bai’s retreating figure, Su Xianmei said with interest, “What an intriguing young man.

You could be considered a peerless genius within Shenwu Kingdom.”

Once he left the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Bai walked down the bustling streets of Hanshan City.

As Lin Bai left the Treasure Pavilion, more than a dozen people outside the Pavilion spotted him.

“Quickly inform Young Master Xu, Young Master Shang, and Young Master Li that Lin Bai has left the Treasure Pavilion and is about to leave the city.”

“I’ll keep following him!”

The spies gathered together and quickly arranged matters.

After leaving Hanshan City, Lin Bai darted into a thick forest.

From the corner of his eye, he spotted the spies tailing him.

A cold smile formed on his face, “So, they still refuse to let me go?

Alright, if you dare to come, I will make you regret it greatly!”

Once he was out of Hanshan City, Lin Bai quickly disappeared into the forest.

“Stop!”

At that moment, a shout came from behind Lin Bai.

Whoosh!

A golden arrow accompanied by a cry shot through the air, directed at Lin Bai’s back.

Lin Bai felt a chill down his spine.

Sweating profusely and his eyes wide in surprise, he quickly used a body shifting technique to dodge the golden arrow.

Just as Lin Bai avoided it, the golden arrow hit the spot where Lin Bai had been moments before, vibrating on impact as it embedded itself in the earth.

“Who’s there?”

Lin Bai’s gaze turned ice-cold.

If he had not dodged quickly enough, this golden arrow would have pierced his body.

Lin Bai fixed his eyes on the forest behind him.

Whoosh!

A dozen torches flared up in front of Lin Bai, revealing over twenty warriors.

Each of these warriors was around the Third Level of Earth Martial Realm, and the leading trio, resplendent in brocade, had already reached the Fifth Level of the Earth Martial Realm.

The first man, wearing a faint smile and looking indifferent to honor or disgrace, was Liyun Suan.

The second young man, with a cold haughty expression and reticent manner, was Xu Jiangsheng.

And the third man, upon seeing Lin Bai, couldn’t help but reveal a playful smile.

Recognizing the three men, Lin Bai laughed and said, “So it’s the Three Young Masters of the Wealth God Clan.

I apologize for my failure to recognize you.

Could you tell me, what does this ambush mean?”

Upon seeing a golden bow tightly grasped in Xu Jiangsheng’s hand, Lin Bai realized that the person who had shot an arrow at him earlier must be Xu Jiangsheng.

“Lin Bai, spare your words.

Hand over the Great Five Elements Skill, we can give you a quick ending today,” a cold smile appeared on Shang Tian’s face as he spoke.

“Brother Lin, this Great Five Elements Skill is not a treasure that you should possess.

If you’re wise, give it up.

As long as you hand the Great Five Elements Skill to me, I, Li Yun Suan, will turn and leave, without lingering any longer,” laughed Li Yun Suan.

Among the three, only Xu Jiangsheng remained silent, staring at Lin Bai with an icy gaze.

Lin Bai let out a faint smile, “I’m sorry, gentlemen, I paid a lot of money for this Great Five Elements Skill.

I don’t think I can just give it up that easily.”

“So you’ve decided to die at our hands?

Good luck dealing with the consequences of refusing a toast!” Shang Tian sneered.

“Haha, I’m not boasting, but you lot, some rotten eggs and spoiled potatoes, probably can’t kill me!”

Lin Bai said, sneering.

“Hahaha, ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

You, a mere Xuanwu Realm Ninth-Level warrior, dare to provoke us.

Even Li Yun Suan and Xu Jiangsheng don’t need to take action.

I alone can kill you!”

Shang Tian let out a loud laugh.

Bringing out a three-foot long knife radiating cold air from his storage bag, he threatened Lin Bai.

“Brother Li, Brother Xu, you guys should calm down a bit.

I’m going to kill him, retrieve the Great Five Elements Skill and we will study it together according to our agreement.”

Shang Tian sneered, holding the long knife and pounced directly at Lin Bai.

With a rumbling sound.

“You shall die.”

A terrifying knife aura came slashing down from Shang Tian’s long knife.

The knife aura immediately crushed the surrounding trees into sawdust, which danced wildly in the wind.

Shang Tian was a warrior of the Canghai Yuntai Inner Palace.

His knife technique was nothing short of extraordinary.

The power of this knife was almost equivalent to the strongest move of a Mysterious Level Nine martial technique!”

“Qilin Step!”

Lin Bai swiftly performed the Qilin Step.

His figure transformed into a waning shadow, and in a flash, he avoided the knife.

At the same time, the Sinister Wind Sword appeared in Lin Bai’s hand, counterattacked with a single swing, sending out a whistling sword qi that collided with the knife aura.

A loud bang resonated.

The sword qi and the knife aura collided, and the power between the two immediately exploded, the impact flattened the land within a hundred meters radius.

“Huh?

Interesting, he could actually resist my attack!” Shang Tian was surprised.

A Xuanwu Ninth-Level warrior managed to fight him to a standstill with just one sword.

This made Shang Tian, who was a prodigy of the Canghai Yuntai Inner Palace, feel slightly angry.

“Not only can I block your sword, I can also kill you!”

“Crossing the Starry Sky!”

Lin Bai moved swiftly, like lightning across the forest.

He transformed into several phantoms, and with a single thrust, his sword aimed directly at Shang Tian’s throat.

Countless sword qis were condensed on the sword aura, radiating like a star, causing a dazzling glare.

Shang Tian felt a sense of panic under this sword attack.

In a split second of astonishment, he hurriedly slashed a knife screen in front of him, hoping to block Lin Bai’s attack.

“Sword Intention!”

Lin Bai saw Shang Tian’s impenetrable knife screen, and immediately executed his sword intention.

With the added bonus of the sword intention, the sword aura was like a nail capable of piercing the sky.

It straightly pierced through the knife screen and, after shattering Shang Tian’s protective true qi, with a thud, it pierced through Shang Tian’s throat!
