The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1442 - 1439: Ten-Step Sword!

Chapter 1442: Chapter 1439: Ten-Step Sword!

After Xing Hai left, Lin Bai looked down at the Spiritual Pills and Spiritual Medicines on the ground, and the copy of "Sword of Ten Steps" that was dear to Senior Brother Xiang Yun’s heart.

"Senior Brother Xiang Yun, I will avenge you!"

"With your Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai silently opened "Sword of Ten Steps" and read every single word on it carefully. After finishing, he benefited greatly!

"Sword of Ten Steps" was a fragmented manual Senior Brother Xiang Yun had found in the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect that he found rather intriguing, and he had spent ten years searching for other scattered parts throughout the Lingnan Continent.

Ten years had finally borne fruit!

"This Sword technique surprisingly doesn’t specify distinct moves, but merely divides the levels of cultivation!"

"Sword of Ten Steps, divides into five levels!"

"First Floor, named ’Killing Within Ten Steps’!"

Upon seeing the name of the first level, Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly and he murmured softly, "First Floor, Killing Within Ten Steps, acclaimed to kill an opponent with one sword strike within ten steps!"

"Second Floor, Kill in a Hundred Steps!"

"Third Floor, Thousand Steps Death Kill!"

"Fourth Floor, Kill in Ten Thousand Steps!"

"Fifth Floor, One Thought Godslayer!"

After browsing through "Sword of Ten Steps" a few times, Lin Bai felt increasingly that this "Sword of Ten Steps" was extraordinarily remarkable!

"This Sword technique actually melds Sword Art mastery to such profound depths, especially when combined with speed-oriented Realms of Comprehension, it’s like a fish in water." Lin Bai was suddenly delighted, for this Sword technique was a powerful enhancement for him at this time!

"Killing Within Ten Steps, why is this sword called the sword of assured killing?"

"That’s because, within ten steps, one concentrates all Spiritual Power and Realm of Comprehension to a fine point, swift, accurate, and ruthless, killing with one strike, leaving the opponent no chance to react!"

"And as one ascends further, Kill in a Hundred Steps, Thousand Steps Death Kill, Kill in Ten Thousand Steps, One Thought Godslayer, each level is purer than the last!"

"After cultivating to the first level, within ten steps, I will have no rivals in the same state!"

"Second Floor, within a hundred steps, no rivals!"

"Third Floor, within a thousand steps, no rivals!"

"Fourth Floor, within ten thousand steps, no rivals!"

"Fifth Floor, as I desire, the sword slays gods!"

"Indeed ingenious and extraordinary, no wonder Senior Brother Xiang Yun, with the strength of a Red-robed Disciple, managed to win three matches in the Reincarnation Arena. It seems it was all due to ’Sword of Ten Steps’."

Lin Bai calmed his mind. There were still five days until his duel with the Ripper Lion, and during those five days, he did almost nothing else but diligently practice "Sword of Ten Steps".

Five days later, Xing Hai arrived outside Lin Bai’s room and seeing that Lin Bai was still meditating with closed eyes, he did not rush to wake him.

Lin Bai slowly opened his eyes, looked at Xing Hai, and asked, "Is it time?"

"Yes," Xing Hai nodded.

"My opponent is..." Lin Bai looked up at Xing Hai and asked.

Xing Hai said indifferently, "According to your request, your opponent is Ripper Lion. This guy, hearing that a martial artist from the Sixth Level of the Dark Saint Realm wanted to challenge him, almost burst into tears of laughter."

Lin Bai sneered, "Let him laugh, I will make him cry ugly!"

Lin Bai stood up and walked towards Xing Hai.

Xing Hai led Lin Bai, together, they headed towards the Reincarnation Arena.

This was Lin Bai’s second month in the Reincarnation Arena, and it was also his second battle!

Before reaching the passageway, Lin Bai didn’t wait for Xing Hai to speak and directly stepped into the arena, walking towards Xing Shu.

Seeing Lin Bai approaching, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Xing Shu’s mouth.

Lin Bai stood next to Xing Shu, and seeing that his opponent had yet to arrive, he patiently waited.

Soon, from the opposite passageway, there emerged a burly man with a head full of blond hair, dressed in animal skins that revealed a solid chest and bulging muscles. As he approached, a wild aura rushed forth.

The Ripper Lion came to Xing Shu’s side, bared his fangs with a grin, and looked at Lin Bai disdainfully, "Is it you who wants to challenge me? Calling out for a fight with me specifically?"

Lin Bai looked coldly at the Ripper Lion, ignoring him, and instead asked Xing Shu, "Can we start now?"

Hearing this, the Ripper Lion laughed, "So eager to die?"

Lin Bai glanced coldly at the Ripper Lion and said sharply, "I’m afraid that if you’re late, he might have crossed the Naihe Bridge!"

Xing Shu couldn’t help but smile at the exchange between the Ripper Lion and Lin Bai, thinking to himself that there seemed to be some animosity between these two.

Thereupon, Xing Shu declared, "Today’s first matchup, Heaven Character 9527 versus the eleven-time victorious Ripper Lion!"

Xing Shu loudly announced the battle information for the day.

In fact, from yesterday, the information on today’s battles had already been delivered to all major gambling houses, with many Warriors eagerly anticipating the matchup, and of course, plenty of gamblers happily placing their bets.

"I heard that Heaven Character 9527 is actively challenging the Ripper Lion today!"

"Yes, what’s with Heaven Character 9527, wanting to fight the eleven-time victorious Ripper Lion?"

"He’s totally underestimating himself; his Cultivation is nothing, while the Ripper Lion already has eleven victories, his strength is simply terrifying!"

"Damn! Ripper Lion, you better put up a good fight, I’ve borrowed over ten million Spiritual Stones, all bet on you; if you lose, I’ll go bankrupt again!"

"Heaven Character 9527, that bastard, almost made me bankrupt last time; this time I must make my money back, principal and profit!"

One Warrior after another excitedly leaned over the railings of the stand, shouting at the Ripper Lion.

In the private room, Su Xianmei and the Handsome Young Man walked in. Su Xianmei couldn’t wait to approach the window, lifting a corner of the curtain to look at the White-robed Man in the Reincarnation Arena.

The Handsome Young Man chuckled, "Xianmei, you seem to be very interested in Heaven Character 9527. As soon as you heard the news from the Imperial Casino, you rushed here."

"Did you know him before?"

Su Xianmei carelessly said, "No."

"Oh? Is that so?" The Handsome Young Man, seeing how simply Su Xianmei answered, grew a bit suspicious.

The more Su Xianmei denied, the more the Handsome Young Man felt that there was something complex between her and Lin Bai, and even at this moment, his gaze slightly cooled, "I heard that today Heaven Character 9527 is actively challenging the eleven-time victorious Ripper Lion. I wonder where he got such courage."

"Did he become arrogant because he luckily killed a Perfect Yin Saint Realm Demon last time? Does he want to challenge a strong One who managed 11 victories?"

"I think he’s hit a snag today, sure to die without doubt!"

The Handsome Young Man said lightly.

Su Xianmei, hearing the Handsome Young Man’s words, did not respond, standing silently by the window, gazing towards the Ripper Lion and Lin Bai, her heart inevitably filled with worry: What are you doing? Why challenge the eleven-time victorious Ripper Lion?

Even Su Xianmei couldn’t understand why Lin Bai specifically named the Ripper Lion to challenge!

The Ripper Lion was an eleven-time victorious Strong One!

In this Reincarnation Arena, ten victories were a milestone, a hundred another; once a Strong One surpassed these milestones, they were among the top ranked on the entire Lingnan Continent.

That’s why so many Warriors, upon achieving ten victories in the Reincarnation Arena, would be given a title!

Because only by achieving ten victories in the Reincarnation Arena could one truly be considered a Strong One!
