The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1534 - 1531: Three Sword Qi!

Chapter 1534: Chapter 1531: Three Sword Qi!

Lin Bai and Yue Qing left the Barren Mountain, leisurely returning to the Spirit Boat.

At this moment, Lin Bai’s heart was blooming with joy, laughing inwardly: "Old Dad, you created your own sword technique called Dragon Slayer."

"What’s there to slay about dragons!"

"I am to slay immortals!"

Lin Bai laughed heartily to himself.

Lin Duo, the Dragon Slayer; Lin Bai, the Immortal Slayer!

Without a doubt, Lin Bai chose this name with the intent of surpassing Lin Duo.

Throughout his journey, starting from Lingxi City, Lin Bai kept hearing about the legends of Lin Duo, including the annihilation of the Five Poison Sect in Lingdong and the Dragon Slayer sword technique in Lingnan, and even now, tales of Lin Duo are still being told in the East Continent.

As the saying goes, the student surpasses the master; each generation naturally must be stronger than the last.

Lin Duo was already so powerful, and Lin Bai refused to be left behind!

Lin Bai was also thinking that after finding Lin Duo, he definitely had to show off his self-created "Slaying Immortal" technique proudly in front of his father.

Back on the Spirit Boat, Lin Bai and Yue Qing sat down opposite each other again, with the ancient text still placed on the table.

"Young Sword Master Dongfang, please accept this ancient text," Yue Qing said as she pushed the ancient book towards Lin Bai once again.

At this, Lin Bai smiled and said, "I can accept the ancient text, but I want to hear exactly what kind of favor you, the daughter of one of the Eight Major Business Associations in Haizhen City, the Silver Moon Commerce Association, want to ask of me?"

Yue Qing said, "The favor I ask of the Junior Sword Master is actually not difficult; I only need you to intervene on my behalf three times when necessary."

"To intervene on your behalf three times?" Lin Bai was taken aback and chuckled, "You’re at the second level of the Yangshen Realm in terms of cultivation. If even you can’t solve a problem, I’m not sure I would be able to resolve it either."

Yue Qing laughed and said, "Just take that strike you performed earlier, Junior Sword Master. It was enough to kill someone at the second level of the Yangshen Realm. The issues I can’t solve are probably a piece of cake in the eyes of the Junior Sword Master."

Lin Bai’s gaze deepened, and he began to ponder.

Seeing Lin Bai’s hesitation, Yue Qing said, "Please rest assured, Junior Sword Master Dongfang, when I ask you to intervene three times, I would not cause you to commit wanton killings against the innocent, nor would I ask you to go against your own nature, nor would I intentionally trouble you, like asking you to kill an Old Monster from the Life-and-Death Realm."

"If the time comes when the Junior Sword Master feels like the task goes against his nature, you can refuse on the spot. I certainly wouldn’t make things difficult for you!"

Lin Bai gave a bitter smile and said, "Now that I’ve taken and read the ancient text and benefited from it, the conditions Miss Yue Qing offered seem to leave me with no reason to refuse."

"It seems like I must agree to Miss Yue Qing’s terms."

Yue Qing chuckled lightly and asked, "Then does the Junior Sword Master think we can drink the wine on our table now?"

Lin Bai glanced down to see two cups of fine liquor still sitting on the table.

Lin Bai picked up a cup and said with a chuckle, "It’s obviously fine liquor; it would be a waste not to drink it."

Yue Qing also picked up her cup and, clinking it with Lin Bai’s, downed the drink.

Following that, Lin Bai’s heart moved, and three black strands of Sword Qi condensed from his hands, handing them over to Yue Qing: "Since I’ve already agreed to Miss Yue Qing, naturally, I won’t go back on my word!"

"These three strands of Sword Qi represent my vital Sword Qi; each one can easily tear open a gap in any Magic Circle Under Heaven. Now I’m giving them to Miss Yue Qing."

"Three strands of Sword Qi, representing three interventions!"

"If Miss Yue Qing needs my help, just return the Sword Qi to me. If Miss Yue Qing’s matter is as you described, not causing me to kill the innocent, not going against my nature, not forcing the difficult upon others, and within the scope of my abilities, I will help you!"

These three strands of Sword Qi were indeed the Ban-Breaking Sword Qi formed by the "Devouring Sword Spirit" secret skill.

At this moment, Lin Bai falsely claimed it was his vital Sword Qi, but in fact, Lin Bai wasn’t wrong; this Ban-Breaking Sword Qi truly belonged to Lin Bai’s vital Sword Qi!

Yue Qing’s face lit up with joy, and she received the three strands of Sword Qi, sincerely saying, "Thank you so much, Miss!"

"There’s one more thing, I’d like to ask of the Junior Sword Master," Yue Qing said.

Lin Bai said with a light laugh, "What is it?"

Yue Qing asked, "Could I ask the Junior Sword Master to conceal your identity, trying not to let people recognize you?"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "And why is that?"

Yue Qing explained, "Because I want to give my opponent a surprise. Aren’t the really good wine and dishes only served at the end of the banquet? Don’t true strong ones always make their appearance at the last moment?"

Lin Bai nodded with a smile, "Fair enough, I never intended to use the identity of Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master in Haizhen City. As you know, that identity is too conspicuous."

"From now on, Miss Yue Qing can just call me Dongfang."

"Dongfang!" Yue Qing nodded slightly.

After discussing with Lin Bai, Yue Qing stood up and said, "Well, since that’s the case, I won’t disturb the Junior Sword Master’s rest."

"Please be patient, Junior Sword Master. In ten days, we will reach Haizhen City," Yue Qing said with a smile.

Lin Bai escorted Yue Qing to the door.

Upon opening the door, Lin Bai saw Housekeeper Zhuo Yi waiting by the entrance with utmost respect.

"Junior Sword Master, please stay," Yue Qing said lightly with a chuckle.

"Take care! I won’t see you out!"

Lin Bai replied with a light laugh.

After seeing Yue Qing off, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi gave Lin Bai a bow and followed after her.

Returning to the third floor, Yue Qing sat in her room.

At this moment, Housekeeper Zhuo Yi entered respectfully and asked in a low voice, "Miss, has the matter been settled? Is Dongfang Bai willing to lend a hand?"

"He has agreed," Yue Qing stated.

Zhuo Yi exclaimed with unexpected joy, "That’s wonderful! With the assistance of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect Junior Sword Master, our return to Haizhen City this time is bound for success! Those old fools in the Silver Moon Merchant Association and the petty ones from the Wolf Pack Commerce Association will surely be in hot water!"

"Hmm!" Yue Qing responded sharply, her gaze fierce. With Lin Bai’s support, her confidence had significantly swelled.

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi said excitedly, "Originally, we stayed in the Litian Dynasty for over ten days because you, Miss, intended to seek the help of Qi Xuan Junior Swordmaster."

"But that Qi Xuan Junior Swordmaster was so impolite. He even demanded that the Miss become his concubine in exchange for his help!"

"Having no choice, we had to give up. Who would have thought that on the way back, another Junior Sword Master, Dongfang Bai, who just gained renown in Lingnan, would come directly to us? This is indeed an unexpected pleasure," said Housekeeper Zhuo Yi.

If Lin Bai would hear these words, he would certainly be surprised. It seems the Silver Moon Merchant Association had intentionally come to the Litian Dynasty.

And Yue Qing had also visited the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect to seek Qi Xuan’s assistance, but she had not expected Qi Xuan’s excessive demand—making Yue Qing become his concubine. Naturally, she refused and stormed off.

Who could have anticipated that on the way back, Yue Qing would unexpectedly encounter Dongfang Bai!

Such an accidental stroke of luck truly turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

Housekeeper Zhuo Yi noted, "Just... Miss, this Junior Sword Master’s cultivation is only at the Ninth Level of the Yin Saint Realm. Can he truly help us?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Qing’s eyes flashed with brilliance, recalling the sword that Lin Bai had brandished in the Barren Mountain. A slight smile graced her lips, "Don’t worry. In terms of strength, this Junior Sword Master might not be much different from Qi Xuan!"

"Zhuo Yi, you can send a message to the Silver Moon Merchant Association warriors inside the Litian Dynasty to investigate whether there’s a sword technique known as ’Slaying Immortal.’"

"Report back to me immediately once it’s found," Yue Qing instructed calmly.

"Yes, Miss. I’ll see to it at once," Housekeeper Zhuo Yi agreed hastily.

Zhuo Yi left the third floor.

Sitting in her room, Yue Qing took a deep breath, her beautiful eyes gradually filled with viciousness as she whispered softly, "Second Uncle, I’m back. The Chairman position of the Silver Moon Merchant Association will never fall into your hands!"

"And the vengeance for my father, I’ll settle that thoroughly with you as well!"
