The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1458 - 1455: The Strongest Among the Reincarnation Emissaries!

Chapter 1458: Chapter 1455: The Strongest Among the Reincarnation Emissaries!

The strong ones observing the battle all exclaimed in shock.

"Once Xing Hou and the others go back, they will probably be fuming mad. They didn’t even have a chance to display their real skills and were defeated by Lin Bai’s sword!"

"Yes, if it wasn’t for the extremely terrifying power contained in Lin Bai’s sword, forcing them to admit defeat, the outcome would have been unpredictable if they actually fought!"

Each strong one could see through the subtleties of this situation!

Xing Hou, Xing Niu, Xing Wu, Xing Xu, Xing Tu, these five Reincarnation Emissaries, at a certain point of time within the Reincarnation Arena, could indeed be synonyms of invincibility.

But, even such powerful five, under the oppressive lightning-fast sword from Lin Bai just now, had no choice but to directly shout out their concession. If they had been slightly slower, their throats would likely have been sliced open by Lin Bai’s sword.

This sword, unexpectedly achieved by Lin Bai, indeed garnered some results!

As they said, Xing Hou and others looked at Lin Bai resentfully before jumping to the edge of the arena, all five displaying sullen, silent faces.

On the contrary, Xing Hu and Xing She, seeing them, were bent over laughing.

"Hahaha, you five, were planning to flex your muscles after our loss, but you didn’t expect to be struck by a blow, did you?" Xing She said, laughing vibrantly.

"Five old fools, did you really think you were that much stronger than us?" Xing Hu jested.

Xing Hou and the others all wore dark faces, coldly saying, "If we were to fight again, the outcome wouldn’t be the same!"

Xing She laughed, "Fight again? If the Sword Demon really wanted to kill you just now, you probably wouldn’t have had the time to concede before dying under his sword."

Xing Hu, patting Xing Hou and Xing Niu on the shoulders, laughed, "Little Hou, Big Bull, losing is losing, there’s no shame in it. Look, I conceded as well!"

"Fear not, we were just playing with the Sword Demon."

"The real challenge for the Sword Demon is only just appearing."

Xing Hu said, patting Xing Hou and Xing Niu on the shoulders.

Hearing this, Xing Hou and Xing Niu immediately raised their gaze to the two figures standing opposite Lin Bai: one was Xing Hai and the other was the yet-to-act Xing Long!

Xing She playfully said, "Our loss doesn’t matter. With him here, the Sword Demon can’t stir much trouble!"

As Xing Hou and Xing Niu looked towards these two, apprehension surfaced deep in their eyes!

Both of them simultaneously recalled the scene where, after they had achieved nine hundred and ninety-nine victories in the Reincarnation Arena, they ultimately lost in the Battle of Thousand Victories.

Just the thought gave them chills!

"Now only Xing Hai and Xing Long remain!"

"If the Sword Demon defeats these two, he will be considered to have won the Battle of Thousand Victories and will regain his freedom!"

"I wonder if the Sword Demon can succeed!"

"I reckon it’s difficult, after all, that is... Xing Long!"

A group of Demon Clan Powerhouses said in fear.

Lin Bai turned his gaze back to Xing Hai and Xing Long, remaining taciturn, the Demonic Sword slightly raised, a cold Sword Intention flowing from the blade’s edge.

"I concede, Sword Demon." Xing Hai’s face turned dark for a moment, then finally displayed a slight smile as he looked at Lin Bai, saying a conceding word before turning and leaving the arena!

"What?"

"Xing Hai actually conceded without even fighting."

"What does this mean?"

A group of strong ones watched unbelievably as Xing Hai elegantly left.

Even Lin Bai felt surprised at this moment.

Why did Xing Hai suddenly surrender?

Xing Hai slightly smiled, ignoring the questioning voices around him, and directly walked to the side where ten Reincarnation Emissaries stood, folding his arms and watching the ensuing duel in the arena.

Xing Hu laughed and said, "Xing Hai, you really are cunning like an old fox."

Goatee Xing Mo spoke indifferently, "That’s exactly why I dislike Xing Hai. This old man is too keen on weighing the situation. In the terms of the Human Clan, he is what you call a ’wise man who knows when to act.’"

Xing She chuckled lightly, "Seeing that we all have surrendered, you probably realized that even if you took action, you couldn’t defeat the Sword Demon. Moreover, both of us know that Xing Long wouldn’t join forces with you against the Sword Demon, so you simply chose to surrender directly."

Xing Hai indifferently responded, "What does my surrender matter, as long as he is here."

Faces of Xing She, Xing Niu, Xing Hou, and others all revealed a slight smile.

"Indeed, as long as he is here."

The remaining eleven Reincarnation Emissaries looked towards the only Xing Long left in the arena, their faces showing unease.

In the arena.

Although Lin Bai did not understand why Xing Hai suddenly surrendered, since Xing Hai had given up, Lin Bai withdrew his focus and looked at Xing Long, his face becoming solemn.

When Lin Bai had faced the Twelve Reincarnation Envoys, he had already felt that Xing Long might be the strongest among them.

At this moment, Xing Long slightly raised his gaze and said, "You need not be puzzled. Xing Hai enjoys playing mind games too much. Seeing you defeating ten Reincarnation Emissaries in succession, he acknowledged himself not your match and chose to surrender directly."

"And he also clearly knew that I would not join hands with him to besiege a Warrior."

Xing Long spoke calmly, retrieving a beautifully sheathed Treasure Sword from his Storage Bag.

Lin Bai, a Sword Cultivator, was immediately attracted to this Treasure Sword as Xing Long drew it out.

The sheath of the Treasure Sword was intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, vivid and lifelike, golden and exuding a majestic aura.

Seeing Lin Bai’s attention caught by the Treasure Sword, Xing Long indifferently said, "This sword, named Shanhe Sword, is forged from the Lingnan Continent’s second-ranked Divine Iron ’Starfall Iron Essence.’"

"Starfall Iron Essence, ranked second on the Lingnan Divine Iron Ranking, is second only to the primary material of your Demonic Sword, the Incorruptible Divine Iron!"

"Though Starfall Iron Essence is not as precious as the Incorruptible Divine Iron, it is still a rare treasure in the Lingnan Continent."

"The Shanhe Sword, about three feet nine inches long, two and a half fingers wide, weighing about twelve thousand pounds, is carved on one side with magnificent mountains and on the other with the Vast Ocean, hence its name, Shanhe Sword!"

Xing Long smiled faintly, drawing the blade from its sheath, its sharpness fully revealed; a sovereign aura instantly pervading the Reincarnation Arena, a majestic divinity intimidating all beings!

Although the material used for this Shanhe Sword was not as supreme as that of the Demonic Sword’s Incorruptible Divine Iron, the craftsmanship and technique of this sword were nearly on par with the Demonic Sword.

"Excellent sword!" Lin Bai sincerely praised.

"Hehe," Xing Long slightly smiled and looked up at Lin Bai: "You are impressive too, being acknowledged by the Demonic Sword and becoming its new master indicates your profound mastery in the Sword Art!"

"The Alone old man’s ’Sword of Ten Steps,’ one of the ultimate techniques of the Ghost Shadow Demon Sect that spans countless years, the ’Netherworld Sword Immortal Skill,’ you have also deeply grasped its mysteries!"

"The renowned Gutian Feng of East Continent, his cultivation in the Aurora Realm has reached the Late Stage!"

"Even the fierce Stormy Ambience and Torrential Rain Sword Intention, you have comprehended them as well!"

"In the Sword Art, you can be considered a rare genius, and even in today’s Lingnan Continent among Sword Cultivators, you can definitely rank among the top ten!"

Xing Long said with a light smile.

Crack!

Lin Bai, upon hearing these words from Xing Long, was so startled that his eyes widened in surprise.

He had actually discerned all the Sword Arts Lin Bai had learned to this day...

"Right, speaking of which, Xing Hai said you are also contemplating the Slaughter Comprehension?" Xing Long added at last.
