The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1602 - 1599: The Command of the Sword Venerable!

Chapter 1602: Chapter 1599: The Command of the Sword Venerable!

Atop Martial God Mountain, at this moment, whether it was the two hundred thousand Sword Cultivators who were originally present to witness the battle, or the more than fifty Feng Yue Elders hidden within the clouds, all of them were dumbstruck, staring at Lin Bai.

Even now, Lin Bai’s words still echoed in their ears... those words: "Who do you think you are?!"

The master of the First Peak, Sui An, an Elder of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect with absolute authority, is the head of the seventy-two peaks and could be considered the most powerful Elder beneath the Sword Master Sect Leader.

Even Sui An was still shocked at this moment; it had been a long time since he had intervened in the affairs of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. It was only after he was startled awake by the bloody footprints left by Lin Bai that he hurried over.

After inquiring about the situation, Sui An merely felt this was just a petty grudge between the younger disciples, not worth mentioning. Yet, unexpectedly, this instead infuriated Lin Bai!

Lin Bai, holding the Demonic Sword, steadily advanced towards Qi Xuan.

Qi Xuan’s complexion was one of panic, with cold sweat streaming down his face, but clenching his teeth, he called out in a cold voice, "Dongfang Bai, stop your presumptuousness. Elder Sui An of the First Peak is present; you have no place to speak!"

Lin Bai’s face was cold, his gaze chilly as he said, "The wager between you and me has nothing to do with others. Even if the Sword Master Sect Leader were here today, you would still have to leave behind your arms!"

"From the sound of it, you’re not planning to sever your own arms but rather intend to break our agreement?"

"Very well, then. Let me help you!"

Lin Bai’s expression momentarily manifested a swath of murderous intent. The crimson glow of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill’s first floor spread around him, and the Demonic Sword buzzed noisily, sending a restless and unstable Sword Intention rushing toward the eight desolate lands!

In that instant, Lin Bai took a sudden step forward, enveloped by an overwhelming Sword Intention, charging directly at Qi Xuan.

"Dongfang Bai! You dare to strike me in the presence of Elder Sui An of the First Peak? What audacity you have!" Qi Xuan, veins bulging with fury, pointed at Lin Bai and roared angrily.

Puchi—

A sound of blood splattering filled the air!

One of Qi Xuan’s arms, the one pointing at Lin Bai, was cleanly severed by the Demonic Sword.

The severed arm flew into the sky, and the blood that fell to the ground was still scalding hot.

"Aaah!" A miserable scream emerged as Qi Xuan staggered backwards, clutching at his arms, and with a face filled with anger, he said to Dongfang Bai, "Dongfang Bai, you’re courting death!"

Right at that moment, after Lin Bai had chopped off one of Qi Xuan’s arms, his figure flickered like lightning, as he swung his sword at Qi Xuan’s other arm!

Qi Xuan, desperate, turned to look at Sui An, and called out urgently, "Elder Sui An, please save me!"

Sui An finally regained his composure, looked at Lin Bai, and said coldly, "Stop..."

But just as Sui An’s words began, a flash of the sword’s light had already severed Qi Xuan’s other arm, both arms falling to the ground, turning Qi Xuan’s complexion deathly pale, as excruciating pain turned his face the color of a liver!

Having severed both of Qi Xuan’s arms, Lin Bai did not strike again; he sheathed the Demonic Sword and looked at Sui An, asking, "What did you say?"

Sui An then realized that in the blink of an eye Lin Bai had already severed Qi Xuan’s arms, and though he had just begun to speak, he found it was already too late!

However, upon hearing Lin Bai’s question, Sui An still said, "I said, I told you to stop!"

Lin Bai sheathed the Demonic Sword, not making another move!

Sui An’s expression was somewhat grim.

"Ahhh—ahhhh—!" The armless Qi Xuan stood atop Martial God Mountain, screaming wretchedly in agony.

This scene, witnessed by the two hundred thousand Sword Cultivators on-site, sent chills down their spines. They all thought to themselves how ruthlessly Dongfang Bai acted, severing Qi Xuan’s arms right in front of Sui An!

Although Qi Xuan had lost both arms and blood gushed wildly, it was not enough to be fatal!

But the pain in his arms was something Qi Xuan would never forget for the rest of his life!

Qi Xuan staggered forward, wailing miserably, his face twisted in ferocity, his eyes contorted with pain. Without his arms, he kept screaming in agony on Martial God Mountain, instilling fear and trepidation in the two hundred thousand Sword Cultivators around him!

Upon seeing Qi Xuan’s current plight, Elder Chen couldn’t help but tremble in his gaze, and when he looked at Lin Bai again, respect and fear were all that filled his eyes, his body involuntarily shaking slightly.

Elder Chen was secretly relieved that he hadn’t gotten involved himself; otherwise, his fate would probably not be much better than Qi Xuan’s.

"How dare you... In front of me, to make a move against a fellow disciple?" Sui An snapped back to reality, his gaze sharp and icy as he glared at Lin Bai in this moment; a frightening surge of power burst forth from Sui An’s body.

The sword might that erupted from Sui An swept across the entire area, frightening all the two hundred thousand Sword Cultivators present into trembling.

They knew that Sui An was about to burst with anger!

Feeling the terrifying power emanating from Sui An, Lin Bai’s expression also turned cold as he faced Sui An.

"Not a Yangshen Realm three layers, nor four, then it must be Yangshen five layers...or even Yangshen six layers!" Lin Bai looked at Sui An, mentally assessing Sui An’s cultivation strength!

Hearing Sui An’s cold voice, Qi Xuan immediately knelt on the ground, bowing his head and pleading, "Please Elder Sui An, uphold justice for your disciple!"

Qi Xuan knelt with both legs, his head knocking heavily against the ground, his face full of humiliation. Now, his only hope was that in Sui An’s wrath, he would severely punish Lin Bai, otherwise, today would mark the day of Qi Xuan’s complete downfall!

Sui An glanced at Qi Xuan’s miserable condition, his expression growing even colder, and a trace of icy coldness began to emerge in his eyes as he looked at Lin Bai.

"You..."

Sui An slightly raised his finger, and a concentration of sword might gathered.

Lin Bai was greatly alarmed and hurriedly channeled the power of Flying Swords and the Demonic Sword, even quickly amassing the power of Qingmu Divine Thunder in preparation for a desperate fight with Sui An.

At this moment, the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Immortal Cave Mountain swiftly gathered around Lin Bai, their gazes towards Sui An quite unfriendly!

"Step aside, this matter is none of your concern," Sui An said coldly to the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Immortal Cave Mountain.

"We, together with Senior Brother Dongfang, faced life and death together. If this matter concerns Senior Brother Dongfang, then it concerns us, the Seventy-two Sword Cultivators of Immortal Cave Mountain as well!" Nie Xiong and the other Immortal Cave Mountain Sword Cultivators spoke up resolutely in unison.

Sui An was taken aback; he never expected that when he was about to act against Lin Bai, these Immortal Cave Mountain Sword Cultivators would be willing to stand by Lin Bai’s side!

Everyone knows that in the Martial Arts World, one acts predominantly out of self-interest, where almost all Warriors rise early not without benefit.

But like the deeply loyal and righteous Sword Cultivators of the Immortal Cave Mountain, they were truly rare in this world.

Sui An paused slightly.

But just at that moment, Gui Jing flew over from a distance, bowing respectfully, "Elder Sui An, I have seen you!"

"Gui Jing?" Sui An turned his head to glance at him and spoke calmly.

Gui Jing softly said, "The Sect Leader is already aware of the matters here, and I have come to deliver the Sect Leader’s orders!"

"The Sect Leader’s orders?" Sui An paused momentarily, then looked towards Gui Jing.

Gui Jing let out a light chuckle, looking at the distressed Qi Xuan and Chen Ruhai, and said indifferently, "Qi Xuan Junior Swordmaster, by interfering in the Martial Arts Competition on Martial God Mountain, has lost the morality befitting of a Junior Swordmaster. By the order of the Sect Leader, Qi Xuan is stripped of his title as Junior Swordmaster, effective immediately, demoted to a Purple-robed Inner Sect Disciple!"

"Chen Ruhai, one of the Feng Yue Elders, witnessed Qi Xuan cheating without attempting to stop it, even aiding and abetting, by the order of the Sword Master, Chen Ruhai is stripped of his Feng Yue Elder position, demoted to an Inner Gate Elder!"

"What!" Qi Xuan and Elder Chen, upon hearing these words, were utterly terrified, their heads snapping up to look at Gui Jing, their eyes filled with utter despair.
