The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1592 - 1589: Gui Jing Appears Suddenly!

Chapter 1592: Chapter 1589: Gui Jing Appears Suddenly!

Outside the boundless wilderness of the Linhai Dynasty, Lin Bai stood opposed to the Black-robed person.

At this moment, Lin Bai had discerned from the Black-robed person’s sword skill that this was the same Black-robed person who had tried to take over Zhu’s family in Zhu’s Fairy City. And from the conversation between this person and Zhu Chang, the head of Zhu’s family, Lin Bai had surmised that this person might have some connection with the Valley of Demons!

"Do you have any connection with the Valley of Demons?"

Lin Bai asked coldly.

"What does a dead man need to know so much for! Dongfang Bai, you’ve become my obstacle to fortune!" A cold gleam emerged in the eyes of the Black-robed person, and as his gaze changed, Lin Bai distinctly felt the surrounding Sword Intention turning icy cold.

"I never expected that even Hantian Demon Saint would die by your hands. It seems that only I can kill you!" the Black-robed person said coldly. With that, his figure flickered, transforming into a Waning Shadow charging directly at Lin Bai.

The black robe fluttered and whistled in the raging wind, and a Sharp Sword hidden within his vast black sleeve eerily stabbed towards Lin Bai’s throat with extreme speed and ferocity!

"Fourth Level of the Yangshen Realm!" As the Black-robed person made his full-powered strike, Lin Bai instantly realized that this person’s Cultivation was beyond the third level of the Yangshen Realm, his power sky-high.

Humming—

This sword caused ripples in the Void, and with terrifying might, it struck at Lin Bai’s throat.

"Flying Swords!" Lin Bai roared, and the Flying Swords immediately hovered around him, with specks of star-like Sword Aura immediately condensing in the Void, fiercely thrusting towards the Black-robed person.

The potency of the Stormy Ambience fully unleashed, making the sharpness of the thousand Flying Swords in the air even more unstoppable!

"Trivial trick!" The Black-robed person snorted coldly, his sword furiously slashing down, sweeping through the air like a tiger or wolf, instantly shattering all Sword Aura and even repelling the Flying Swords.

In the moment the Black-robed person repelled the Flying Swords, Lin Bai took a step, and with the Demonic Sword fiercely slashing forward, he declared: "Ten-Step Sword! One kill in ten thousand steps!"

After months of intense practice, Lin Bai had finally mastered the "One kill in ten thousand steps" of the Ten-Step Sword.

This unstoppable sword burst forth from Lin Bai’s hand, like a mountain torrent bursting, annihilating all things, as well as like the surging Vast Ocean, devouring all life!

"This sword is somewhat interesting, but before me, it’s still insufficient!" the Black-robed person said with a cold smile, his figure flashing in midair, easily avoiding Lin Bai’s strike!

"You’ve already made two moves, so let me make one too."

The Black-robed person sneered, suddenly stepping forward, and a power that seemed to shatter the heavens descended with a boom.

Lin Bai’s face showed shock, for in front of him emerged a Sword Qi from the Black-robed person’s hand, around a thousand zhang in length, its light illuminating a thousand kilometers, as if it were daylight!

And the strength within the Sword Qi reached a point where it could erase all living beings.

This sword burst forth, instantly turning a hundred-meter radius area into ruins in the blink of an eye!

Boom, boom, boom—

Thunderous sounds came, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Under this sword, Lin Bai sensed a shadow of death!

At this critical moment.

A bright Sword Aura flew from the distant horizon, the Sword Qi sweeping across ten thousand meters in an instant, striking the sword of the Black-robed person.

"Who?" The Black-robed person roared in anger, looking towards the horizon!

"Would you kill the Junior Sword Venerable of my Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, thinking that our Sect is just for show?" After this sweep of Sword Qi, a cold voice came from the horizon.

Lin Bai watched in astonishment, wanting to know which high-ranking Sword Cultivator of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect would appear so abruptly at the border of the Linhai Dynasty.

It wasn’t until the figure rapidly drew near that Lin Bai finally saw clearly.

"Peak Master Gui Jing!" Lin Bai exclaimed with surprise.

This figure that came swiftly from the horizon was none other than the Seventh Peak Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!

Gui Jing gave Lin Bai a glare and said, "You left the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect without authorization, and the Sword Master is furious. Let’s settle this matter later!"

Lin Bai looked innocently at Gui Jing.

At this moment, Gui Jing turned his head and coldly said to the black-robed person, "It’s truly rare to encounter such a powerful sword cultivator in this place. May I ask for your distinguished name?"

Gui Jing said coldly.

Seeing Gui Jing, the black-robed person’s face darkened immediately. He was frozen in mid-air, completely silent.

"What? Could it be that you are a mute?" Gui Jing asked coldly.

The black-robed person suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with a trace of icy killing intent as he looked at Gui Jing. He snorted coldly, his figure turned, and he shot straight towards the horizon.

When the black-robed person saw Gui Jing arrive, even if he wanted to kill Dongfang Bai in front of Gui Jing, it would not be easy. He could only stop for now and look for another opportunity later!

"Thinking of leaving?"

As soon as Gui Jing saw the black-robed person trying to flee, he immediately sent a flying sword rushing up, heading straight for the spine of the black-robed person.

An icy, bone-chilling sword made the black-robed person’s entire body go cold, and his expression panicked.

The black-robed person well knew that ordinary means could hardly stop the sword of the Seventh Peak Master of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly turned over, and a sword aura that seemed to transcend mortals fiercely slashed out!

Boom—

Sword clashed against sword, and immediately the two unstoppable forces exploded!

Gui Jing was also knocked back a kilometer away by the blast of spiritual power that erupted from the collision of swords.

And in front, a violent spread of spiritual power fluctuations extended, turning everything within a kilometer into nothingness!

Gui Jing looked up only to see that the black-robed person had already disappeared without a trace in the sky!

"This sword is ’Primary Sun’ from the ’Sword Yang Art’!" Gui Jing couldn’t help but exclaim in fear, "He is the Feng Yue Elder of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

The Sword Yang Art is one of the nine King-Level Martial Arts within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, very domineering. To cultivate such a King-Level technique, one must make significant contributions to the sect.

Gui Jing looked stunned in the direction the person had fled, lost in thought.

Lin Bai flew over from mid-air, calling out with a smile, "Senior Gui Jing, how did you let him get away?"

Gui Jing glared at Lin Bai irritably and said, "He can’t escape! As the Feng Yue Elder of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, he dared to assassinate the Junior Sword Venerate and suppress the juniors, this is a great taboo of our sect!"

Lin Bai said with interest, "Oh? It seems that Senior Gui Jing knows who this person is?"

Gui Jing chuckled, "If among the seventy-two peaks of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, there are Feng Yue Elders who are eligible to cultivate the nine King-Level Martial Arts, there are only twenty-four of them."

"Among these twenty-four Feng Yue Elders, sixteen are currently in seclusion attempting to break through within the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, and four were sent to other dynasties."

"Now deducing from this, there are only four who are capable of assassinating you!"

"And among these four, even if they have cultivated King-Level techniques, there are only two who could block a strike from me!"

Gui Jing said confidently.

"Which two?" Lin Bai asked, curious.

Gui Jing took a deep breath and said: "Peak Master Cao Ling of the Third Peak and Peak Master... Mizuka of the Ninth Peak!"

Hearing Gui Jing’s analysis, Lin Bai’s eyes turned cold, and he had his own considerations in mind!

"You don’t need to worry about this. When I return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect and report this matter to the Sword Master, he will surely have his own considerations," Gui Jing said:

"You better think about yourself now. The Sect Leader ordered you not to leave the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect within a year, yet you left without permission. Once the Sect Leader finds out, he will be furious!"

"Prepare yourself for the punishment when you go back."

Gui Jing looked at Lin Bai with a mischievous smile on his face and said.
