The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1634 - 1631: Repeated Frustrations!

Chapter 1634: Chapter 1631: Repeated Frustrations!

Yan Tuo, the Saint of Luotian Sect, one of the nine monstrous geniuses above the Lingnan Continent, wielding cultivation at the third level of the Yangshen Realm, possessed extraordinary strength. He struck Lin Bai’s back with a palm, unleashing the ultimate technique of the Luotian Sect, its power overwhelming and destructive.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai’s eyes widened, and in desperation, he turned back and sent out a sword slash!

At that instant, Yan Tuo’s palm descended, shattering the sword aura Lin Bai unleashed. The terrifying Giant Palm Imprint of Luotian smashed into Lin Bai’s body.

With a muffled sound, Lin Bai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face showing despair as his body was sent flying a thousand meters away. The defensive shield on his body showed countless cracks, seemingly on the verge of shattering!

"Yan Tuo!" Lin Bai’s face turned red with rage as he glared at Yan Tuo, an expression of fury burning in his eyes.

Originally, within the fifth storm circle, Lin Bai had already been struggling to resist the storm with all his might. Now, Yan Tuo’s attack made his situation even worse!

"Hmph! Ant! Today, I will end you!" Yan Tuo sneered with cold disdain at Lin Bai, his body seemingly unaffected within the fifth storm circle, as if the storms were just trifling matters to him.

Just as Yan Tuo prepared a strike to eliminate Lin Bai, Mi Rong beside him said, "Senior Brother Yan Tuo, now is not the time to entangle with Dongfang Bai. Yejian Jun has already entered the second storm circle."

"If we don’t hurry and catch up, should Yejian Jun manage to break through the first storm circle, all the blood crystals under the black flags and banners will be his for the taking! At that point, our journey here will be wasted!"

"Moreover, we do not yet know how strong the upcoming storm circles are. If we exhaust too much spiritual power here on Dongfang Bai, we might not have the confidence to cross the first storm circle!"

Mi Rong urgently advised Yan Tuo.

Yan Tuo paused, looked toward the shadow of a person ahead, and his gaze turned icy: "Yejian Jun, also one of Lingnan Continent’s monstrous geniuses, must not be allowed to obtain these blood crystals!"

After a moment’s thought, Yan Tuo glared viciously at Lin Bai and said coldly, "Fine, I’ll take the blood crystals first and come back to kill you afterward."

After shooting Lin Bai a glare, Yan Tuo led Mi Rong onward.

The two took a step into the fourth storm circle without pause and continued toward the third storm circle.

Lin Bai, just recently severely injured by Yan Tuo’s abrupt strike, now remained within the fifth storm circle. His expression turned fierce as he continuously operated the Five Elements Divine Pill’s spiritual power to strengthen the defensive shield’s prowess!

"Well, well, isn’t this the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect? How pitiful you look!" Yu Liang, the Saint of Heavenly Sword Sect, arrived alongside Ling Yu and mockingly spat at Lin Bai!

Lin Bai glanced coldly at the two of them without uttering a word.

Yu Liang snorted coldly, "Dongfang Bai, your head can stay attached for now, but after I seize the blood crystals, I will certainly come back to settle the score with you!"

After speaking, Yu Liang stepped into the fourth storm circle.

Ling Yu, the Saintess of Heavenly Sword Sect, looked at Lin Bai curiously. With a slight smile, she said, "Young Sword Master Dongfang, this place is not suited for Yin Saint Realm warriors."

"I mean no disrespect to your abilities, but I must say your cultivation level is too low. Even if you manage to enter the fourth storm circle, you’ll struggle to make it to the front!"

"It’s better to go back."

The Saintess Ling Yu, whom Lin Bai met for the first time, calmly advised him.

After finishing her words and without waiting for Lin Bai’s response, she entered the fourth storm circle directly.

The next ones to arrive in the fifth storm circle were Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong.

Wei Tianjun appeared anxious upon entering, as he had already seen Yan Tuo and Yejian Jun advancing ahead.

Glancing at Lin Bai coldly, Wei Tianjun expressed disdain: "Dongfang Bai, you murdered my younger brother. I will come back and settle the score with you later!"

Knowing he could not waste time, lest the blood crystals be claimed by Yan Tuo and Yejian Jun, Wei Tianjun addressed Lin Bai icily before pressing forward!

Luo Yutong, the Saintess of Saint Seal Sect, glanced curiously at Lin Bai’s hands and gave a cold laugh: "I can’t tell if you’re foolish or simply stupid, offending so many Holy Son-level warriors in one breath."

"Hmph, if I were you, I would leave this place right now, find a scenic location, and prepare a grave to await death!"

With a contemptuous chuckle, Luo Yutong continued onward.

Lin Bai remained in the fifth storm circle; his defensive shield had nearly been shattered by Yan Tuo’s strike earlier. Now, he had no choice but to stop and fortify the shield’s power, otherwise advancing further would be impossible!

"Junior Brother Dongfang!"

At that moment, a man’s voice rang out!

Lin Bai turned to see Lin Anyang and Lin Luo stepping into the fifth storm circle together.

The one calling out was none other than Lin Anyang.

Lin Anyang’s face showed concern as he approached Lin Bai alongside Lin Luo, then asked, "Junior Brother Dongfang, are you alright?"

Seeing Lin Anyang and Lin Luo, Lin Bai’s anger subsided slightly. He responded emotionlessly, "I’m fine, it’s just that Yan Tuo suddenly launched a sneak attack on me, almost shattering my defensive shield, forcing me to stop and strengthen it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Luo’s gaze turned icy as she looked in Yan Tuo’s direction.

Though naturally cold in demeanor, Lin Luo instinctively understood what to do in the present situation!

Her anger rose upon hearing Lin Bai mention Yan Tuo’s sneak attack.

Lin Anyang said, "As long as you’re alright. Junior Brother Dongfang, you lack adequate cultivation—this place is not suitable for you. You should leave first."

"Rest assured, once we seize the blood crystals, I promise that Sister Lin Luo and I will share some with you!"

"As for Yan Tuo’s attack, we will make sure to teach him a lesson!"

Lin Bai understood Lin Anyang and Lin Luo’s kind intentions. Given the dire situation, their aim was to persuade Lin Bai to depart!

But Lin Bai replied, "Senior Brother Lin Anyang, Senior Sister Lin Luo, there’s no need for you to worry about me. If I reach a point where I can’t hold on, I will leave by myself!"

"Beyond that, I dislike relying on others for revenge—I prefer to settle my grudges personally!"

Lin Bai cast a cold gaze forward toward Yan Tuo, Wei Tianjun, and Yu Liang.

Lin Anyang and Lin Luo, hearing his reply, said, "Very well, Junior Brother Dongfang. Be cautious, avoid recklessness. If you feel you cannot continue, leave immediately. Rest assured, once we seize the blood crystals, you’ll get your share."

"After all, we are disciples of the same sect."

"Time is pressing; we cannot stay here with you. Otherwise, the blood crystals may no longer include the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s share."

"We’ll go ahead."

Lin Anyang declared.

Lin Bai nodded, "Alright!"

Lin Anyang nodded in return before stepping into the fourth storm circle.

Lin Luo’s steps faltered slightly as she looked back at Lin Bai coldly and said, "Be careful!"

"Thank you, Senior Sister Lin Luo," Lin Bai clasped his hands in salute.

Lin Luo nodded faintly and followed Lin Anyang onward.
