The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1447 - 1444: Slaying the Corpse Devouring Ghost!

Chapter 1447: Chapter 1444: Slaying the Corpse Devouring Ghost!

Lin Bai’s figure flashed like lightning, his eyes cold, his silhouette transforming into successive waning shadows as he charged straight for the Corpse Devouring Ghost. However, as soon as Lin Bai reached him, a hundred-meter-tall Shura Field abruptly rose from the ground, wielding a Guan Gong Broadsword and, with a power to move mountains and overshadow the world, struck down with a heavy blow!

Under the terror of this strike, Lin Bai’s body went numb, his back sweated, and his eyes showed a flash of horror. He immediately dodged back, but even with Lin Bai’s quick reaction, avoiding most of the force of the blow, he was still injured by the residual power of the Saber Qi, his white robe torn to shreds!

Boom——

Lin Bai was sent flying a kilometer back.

The Asura King’s blow created a massive crevice about five meters wide in front of him, the sight of which immediately filled onlookers with heart-stopping fear.

"The Sword Demon was sent reeling by one strike! My God!"

"More than that, if the Sword Demon hadn’t retreated in time, that horrible strike could have taken his life!"

"Way to go, Corpse Devouring Ghost, I’ve bet thirty million spiritual stones on you, you better work hard and finish off the Sword Demon!"

A group from the Demon Clan, seeing the Sword Demon at a disadvantage, immediately started shouting wildly in support of the Corpse Devouring Ghost.

"Heh heh!" The Corpse Devouring Ghost, standing beside the Asura King, with his black hair fluttering about, slightly narrowed his eyes, showing disdain, and a cold smile involuntarily curled up on the corner of his mouth, "I must say, for someone at the Seventh Level of the Yin Saint Realm, you’ve managed to force me to summon the Asura King, which is quite strong."

"However, the victor today will undoubtedly still be me."

"So, you can only die."

"Asura King, kill him!"

The Corpse Devouring Ghost pointed at Lin Bai. The hundred-meter-tall ghastly figure clutching the broadsword lunged at Lin Bai!

Lin Bai had just steadied himself, dusted off his clothes, and smiled lightly, "Is this your best attack? Not bad, indeed a member of the Demon Clan who has attained two hundred victories isn’t so simple to defeat."

"However, with just this little skill, you cannot defeat me today!"

Lin Bai’s eyes burst open, shooting out a chilling glare.

The Corpse Devouring Ghost disdainfully said, "Everyone can talk big. If you’re able, slay my Asura King first then talk!"

Roar——

The hundred-meter-tall ghost, wielding the broadsword, charged ferociously, its terrifying power so oppressive that Lin Bai dared not look directly at it!

"Asura King? In the end, you’re just a ghastly spirit."

"Before my sword, neither gods nor demons can stand! A mere evil ghost dares to be so presumptuous?"

Lin Bai glared at the Asura King as his sword technique began to covertly circulate.

Lin Bai stood his ground, without moving an inch, and when the Asura King roared and got within ten steps of him, a Demonic Sword in Lin Bai’s hand began to shine with a brilliant and eye-catching sword aura!

Whoosh——

A cold and brilliant sword aura swept over the Asura King’s head.

As the sword light passed, the ferociously charging Asura King turned into a wisp of black smoke, vanishing from the world!

"What!" The Corpse Devouring Ghost saw Lin Bai slay the Asura King with a single stroke, his pupils rapidly dilating.

"I can slay Immortals and Buddhas, let alone you, a mere evil ghost!" After slaying the Asura King, Lin Bai’s figure blurred, turning into a waning shadow charging straight for the Corpse Devouring Ghost’s head.

A chilling intent of slaughter assaulted him, frightening the Corpse Devouring Ghost so much he didn’t dare to speak and once again controlled the ghastly domain. Hands of Evil Ghosts stretched out from the ground and attacked Lin Bai!

"Slay!"

The Ten-Step Sword continued to be activated, and along the way, streams of sword aura were released from Lin Bai’s hand, shredding all the black hands that emerged from the ground beneath the sword.

Barging straight through and slaying all the hands, Lin Bai advanced within ten steps of the Corpse Devouring Ghost!

"Within Ten Steps!"

Lin Bai estimated the distance between himself and the Corpse Devouring Ghost, and the might of the Ten-Step Sword erupted once again.

A sword pierced through the air, its light surpassing the sun, moon, and stars, sweeping over the head of the Corpse Devouring Ghost.

The head flew off, and the Corpse Devouring Ghost collapsed on the ground, its blood completely drained by the Demonic Sword and infused into Lin Bai’s body!

"Ruined... We’re ruined..."

As they saw the Corpse Devouring Ghost fall, a group from the Demon Clan wailed in despair.

Xing Shu emerged from the ground and said with a smile, "Victorious! Sword Demon!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai did not leave the battlefield but silently waited for the next fight to begin!

Then, nine more contestants took the stage, but these nine were all below the level of a Hundred Victories—a tier unlike that of the Corpse Devouring Ghost.

If Lin Bai could slay the Corpse Devouring Ghost, these nine stood no chance at all.

He effortlessly cut down these nine—one with each sword strike.

Xing Shu reappeared from the ground and announced, "Sword Demon, ten fights, Ten Victories today!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly and turned to return to his dwelling.

It wasn’t until Lin Bai had left that a thunderous uproar erupted from the Spectator Seats of the Reincarnation Arena.

Ten successive victories—such a dazzling achievement was rare even in the Reincarnation Arena.

Lin Bai paid no attention to these clamors but sat cross-legged in his dwelling, speaking faintly, "Now, my cultivation has broken through to the Seventh Level of the Yin Saint Realm, and my understanding of the Aurora Realm has also reached the late stage!"

"It’s time to find a way to leave the Reincarnation Arena and return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"But before leaving, I still need to uncover the secrets hidden within these one hundred and ten thousand Sword Marks on the stone wall."

Lin Bai turned to look at the Sword Marks on the stone wall, his Eyes revealing contemplation, then focused his Qi and plunged his mind into the marks again, continuing to comprehend the Sword Marks.

Previously, Lin Bai had spent three months on the Sword Marks but to no avail.

Today’s decimation of ten opponents had bought Lin Bai a significant amount of time—at least the next ten months would be peaceful for him to devote entirely to comprehending the Sword Marks in this room!

Time flew by, and a month had passed in the blink of an eye.

In that month, Lin Bai would typically take the stage and fight ten bouts each day, mainly because he needed the Demon Blood to enhance his Cultivation, and so he did not pass up this opportunity.

After a month, ten people per day, nearly three hundred members of the Demon Clan Powerhouse had perished at Lin Bai’s hands.

Their Demon Blood, of course, was directly absorbed by him!

"351 victories, finally breaking through to the Eighth Level of the Yin Saint Realm!"

One day, Lin Bai returned to his dwelling.

Nearly six months had passed since he arrived at the Reincarnation Arena, and his continuous slaying and refining of the Demon Clan masters’ Demon Blood had advanced his Cultivation to the Eighth Level of the Yin Saint Realm!

During these months, Lin Bai had also achieved an impressive 351 victories.

Now, the name "Sword Demon" Lin Bai was well-known in the Reincarnation Arena; whenever Lin Bai wished to enter the fray, all the Spectator Seats of the Demon Clan would place their bets on the Sword Demon.

Back in his dwelling, Lin Bai, still unwashed from battle, sat cross-legged and turned his gaze to the Sword Marks on the wall.

At this moment, however, as Lin Bai looked at the Sword Marks, they seemed to uniformly break away from the stone and madly strike towards him. A slight pain transmitted through him, yet Lin Bai did not resist, letting the Sword Qi slash upon his body.

This pain spread, but it made Lin Bai’s Eyes all the more determined, "Is it... Slaughter?"
