The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1518 - 1515: The Death of Zhu Chang!

Chapter 1518: Chapter 1515: The Death of Zhu Chang!

The entire field of Sky-splitting Legion Warriors stared in shock at the severed head of the Sky-splitting Army Marquis, dumbfounded.

"Lord Marquis is dead!"

"The commander is dead, the commander has been killed!"

"What do we do now?"

"Should we seek revenge for our commander?"

"..."

"Revenge? Are you damn crazy? That’s the Crown Prince. Before, with Lord Marquis backing us, we could be reckless, but now with Lord Marquis dead, I guarantee you, if you dare to touch the Crown Prince now, he really can annihilate your entire clan!"

"We acknowledge our crimes!"

"Please, Your Highness, the Crown Prince, calm your anger, we realize our faults."

One by one, the soldiers, though reluctant, could only kneel down and speak to Lin Anyang.

Lin Anyang immediately smiled and said coldly: "None of the thirty thousand Death Warriors of the Zhu Family shall remain!"

"We will follow Your Highness the Crown Prince’s decree!" The soldiers of the Sky-splitting Legion, after the death of the Sky-splitting Army Marquis, immediately turned their spears and furiously attacked the thirty thousand Death Warriors of the Zhu Family.

After killing the Sky-splitting Army Marquis, Lin Bai’s figure flickered, closing in on Zhu Chang.

Seeing Lin Bai approaching, Zhu Chang kept retreating step by step, and without paying attention, he stumbled and fell to the ground, looking up at Lin Bai with a face full of panic, his eyes filled with ferocity.

"What do you want to do!"

Zhu Chang said coldly.

Lin Bai coldly responded, "I suppose you never thought that the Warriors you sold to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom would have a day to return."

Upon hearing this, the fear on Zhu Chang’s face gradually subsided, followed by a sinister sneer: "Hmph, Dongfang Bai, I really never thought that the Warriors who went to the Hanhai Demon Kingdom would come back."

"Dongfang Bai, since the Sky-splitting Army Marquis is dead, and Crown Prince Lin Anyang now controls the Sky-splitting Legion, I know I’m bound to die today, but don’t you be too pleased too soon!"

"Do you really think that by killing me and exterminating the Zhu Family, the business in the Valley of Demons can’t go on?"

"Let me tell you, inside the Litian Dynasty, it’s not only the Zhu Family cooperating with the Valley of Demons. There are many, many families, many, many people, you simply can’t kill them all!"

Zhu Chang said with a cold laugh.

"Dongfang Bai, by killing me today, you’ve cut off the financial path of the Valley of Demons, the Valley of Demons won’t let you off."

"Don’t think just because you are the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, the Valley of Demons has no means to deal with you. Just wait, the Valley of Demons will certainly go out of its way to kill you!"

"You are a disciple of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, do you know someone named Chen Pan?"

"Chen Pan, was once the Junior Sword Venerable of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect a hundred years ago. If he were still alive, he might have become the Sword Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect by now."

"Do you know how Chen Pan died?"

"Do you know why the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect harbors such deep hatred towards the Valley of Demons?"

"A hundred years ago, Chen Pan was killed by the Valley of Demons, and his corpse was hung on a Barren Mountain in the Litian Dynasty, exposed to the sun for three months until it stank!"

"A Junior Sword Venerate was killed, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect was enraged, fought with the Valley of Demons for ten years, the Valley of Demons gave up their Mountain Gate, disciples hid in vast wilderness jungles within the Litian Dynasty, only then did the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect cease!"

"Dongfang Bai, the tragedy of Chen Pan is about to be reenacted on you!"

"I am merely taking a step first, waiting for you in the Netherworld."

Zhu Chang coldly said.

Lin Bai heard Zhu Chang mention the name Chen Pan, which felt particularly foreign to him.

Lin Bai looked towards Lin Anyang.

Upon hearing the name Chen Pan, Lin Anyang’s face showed a hint of anger too, with a trace of ferocity flashing in his eyes as he looked at Zhu Chang.

Seeing Lin Anyang react this way, Lin Bai guessed that what Zhu Chang said might be true.

Once, a Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect died at the hands of the Valley of Demons.

"Haha, Dongfang Bai, I am going to die anyway, let me give you a parting gift," said Zhu Chang, his gaze turning towards the Man in Black. He then coldly chuckled: "This person is from your Heaven-reaching Sword Sect..."

"No good!" The Man in Black got startled immediately, his pupils shrunk; he realized that Zhu Chang, accepting his own inevitable death, wanted to drag him down too!

The Man in Black immediately flashed and burst into extreme speed, thrusting his sword towards Zhu Chang’s throat.

"Stop!" Lin Anyang urgently leapt with his sword attempting to block the Man in Black.

"Seeking death!" Seeing the murderous intent of the Man in Black surge, Lin Bai’s gaze hardened, as he fiercely thrust out his Demonic Sword.

The Man in Black, in a rush, countered with a backhanded sword strike to repel Lin Anyang’s sword light, but if he still tried to fend off Lin Bai’s sword light, then he wouldn’t be able to kill Zhu Chang.

The Man in Black gritted his teeth, enduring Lin Bai’s sword light, and thrust his sword towards Zhu Chang’s throat.

A sword pierced through the throat!

Zhu Chang instantly fell into a pool of blood.

At that moment, Lin Bai’s sword followed, piercing through the Man in Black’s abdomen!

Puchi—

The Man in Black spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, his figure swayed and transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the edge of the Heaven Sealing Array.

Upon reaching the edge, the Man in Black quickly took out a piece of beast bone from his Storage Bag and smashed it onto the array, creating a huge gap in the Heaven Sealing Array, and he leaped through it, escaping from the confinements of the Heaven Sealing Array.

Lin Anyang and Lin Bai followed in pursuit, witnessing the Man in Black jumping through the gap, disappearing without a trace.

"Damn it! Let him get away!" Lin Anyang said somewhat discontentedly.

Lin Bai said, "Although Zhu Chang didn’t finish speaking, we can be sure that this person is indeed one of the Peak Masters of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and he might still have intricate connections with Valley of Demons."

Lin Anyang chuckled lightly: "Does Junior Brother Dongfang already have a suspect in mind?"

Lin Bai returned with a light laugh: "There is one person, but I can’t be sure yet. After all, his status is extremely high, and if I were to speak rashly about it, he might retaliate."

"Then don’t speak about it," Lin Anyang said with a smile, adding after a pause, "Just speak to those who need to be informed."

Lin Bai slightly smiled, understanding the implication in Lin Anyang’s words; the so-called people who need to be informed were certainly the Sword Venerates of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

"With Zhu Chang dead and this matter settled, we should head back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. I wonder what Brother Lin Anyang has planned?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Lin Anyang responded with a smile, "Originally, I was meant to return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect with Junior Brother Dongfang, but now that the Sky-splitting Army Marquis has just died, I must lead the soldiers back to the Imperial City!"

"I won’t be returning with you, Junior Brother."

Lin Bai looked at the soldiers of the Sky-splitting Legion, and said lightly: "Indeed a formidable army. Now that the Sky-splitting Army Marquis is dead, I hope Brother Lin Anyang can make proper arrangements for this legion."

"That is natural," Lin Anyang laughed lightly.

Lin Bai nodded slightly, looked towards the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Xian Dong Mountain, and called out, "Brothers, let’s go."

During the conversation, Lin Bai’s body flashed with a black light, and his Demonic Sword struck upward, directly shattering the Heaven Sealing Array, which was said to be unbreakable even by a hundred powerful cultivators in the Yangshen Realm if they attacked for ten days straight.

Lin Anyang, seeing Lin Bai’s sword strike, couldn’t help but his pupils shrink!
