The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1638 - 1635: To kill you, just one Sword is needed.

Chapter 1638: Chapter 1635: To kill you, just one Sword is needed.

Yu Liang stared at Lin Bai, dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears. Lin Bai’s remark, "Your strength is unworthy of battling me for ten days and nights," pierced Yu Liang’s heart.

At that moment, Yu Liang’s eyes grew rapidly bloodshot, and a murderous intent coupled with saber intent emanated relentlessly from his body.

Yu Liang felt Lin Bai’s provocation deeply, especially that last sentence: "If I wanted to kill you, it would take but one sword." This drove Yu Liang into unbridled rage!

"Very well! I want to see how the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect would kill me—this Saint of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the so-called foremost blade cultivator of Lingnan’s younger generation—with a single sword!"

Yu Liang, incited to fury by Lin Bai, abandoned his move to step into the second storm circle. His treasured blade radiated a bone-chilling coldness, glaring icily at Lin Bai!

"Then watch closely!"

Lin Bai’s gaze grew sharp and ruthless, as an overwhelming sword intention surged forth from every pore of his being.

This sword intention was divided into three types.

And then—something astonishing took place. These three realms of comprehension fused flawlessly together at this very moment, coalescing into a sword intention that soared to the heavens and shattered the earth!

"Stormy Ambience!"

"Slaughter Comprehension!"

"Aurora Realm!"

"Triple Intentions Fusion! Slaying Immortal!"

Without further words, Lin Bai condensed these three realms of comprehension into one, unleashing the Slaying Immortal Sword with a resounding crash!

A sword aura brighter than the Sun, Moon, and Stars descended from the heavens, unstoppable, tearing straight for Yu Liang. Along its path, layers of air exploded, and the void trembled incessantly.

The sword qi pulverized all, annihilating everything!

"This sword..." Within the second storm circle, Yejian Jun watched as Lin Bai executed this strike, his expression shifting to one of mild astonishment.

Yan Tuo and Wei Tianjun might not comprehend the true power of the sword, but Yejian Jun, being a sword cultivator himself, could naturally discern the profound depth of sword art Lin Bai had infused into this strike—truly unparalleled!

Yu Liang, crushed under the weight of this sword, his blood-red eyes twisted in fury. He roared angrily, raising his blade to carve through the air.

A terrifying saber qi tore through the skies, aiming to intercept the sword qi!

"Sky Rift Slaughter!" Yu Liang roared, his saber qi’s power once immeasurable!

But this mighty saber qi, upon colliding with Lin Bai’s sword qi, was instantly devoured entirely, failing to halt the crushing force of Lin Bai’s strike.

"How can it possibly be this strong?" Seeing his saber technique’s failure against Lin Bai, Yu Liang’s expression changed dramatically. Without hesitation, he leveled his blade horizontally, his visage darkened with hostility!

Erratic, unearthly black smoke emerged from Yu Liang’s body, seeping into his blade and transforming it into an entirely pitch-black weapon, glinting ominously with harrowing black radiance!

"It’s the Heavenly Sword Sect’s pinnacle secret art, ’Broken Soul Shattered Dream Blade’!" Warriors outside the nine storm circles instantly recognized the martial skill Yu Liang executed in this dire moment!

The Broken Soul Shattered Dream Blade, a quasi-king-level martial skill, was the Heavenly Sword Sect’s crowning jewel—its power extraordinary and awe-inspiring!

"Broken Soul!"

Yu Liang gritted his teeth and roared skyward, his blade slashing downward with fierce momentum!

This strike seemed nearly capable of fracturing the heavens!

"Shattered Dream!"

The first strike fell, yet it did not cease. Another strike followed swiftly after—two unparalleled streams of saber qi surged forth from Yu Liang’s hands, howling through the firmament. Within the saber qi, thousands of demon gods seemed to bellow, shaking the void and forcing heaven and earth to wail!

Rumble—

The two devastating streams of saber qi collided head-on with Lin Bai’s sword qi, sending shockwaves echoing in the void that caused everyone’s heart to quiver.

"Was it stopped?"

All eyes present fixated on the clash of sword qi and saber qi, including Yejian Jun, Yan Tuo, Wei Tianjun, Lin Anyang, and Lin Luo—each watching, utterly stunned!

In merely a breath’s time amidst the chaos, an unstoppable sword qi pierced the heavens, charging directly toward Yu Liang, its power undiminished!

"Still not stopped!"

Wei Tianjun and Yan Tuo’s faces both showed traces of alarm!

Yu Liang, now filled with boundless terror, was helpless. The Broken Soul Shattered Dream Blade he had once revered as his ultimate battle technique—renowned throughout Lingnan Continent—was a legacy he reserved for combat against only exceptional opponents.

Now, even this martial skill that he held in highest regard could not halt Lin Bai’s sword!

"Martial Soul!" Yu Liang, utterly devoid of options, roared toward the sky, as black mist coiled above his head, revealing a black saber soul within the mist...

The saber soul’s blade gleamed ominously, while its hilt bore a sinister skull that emitted green light.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Severing Netherworld!"

Yu Liang wailed to the heavens, his face awash with fury and helplessness. He, the Saint of the Heavenly Sword Sect—the peak of the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm—had been forced into such desperate measures by Lin Bai.

The fact that Lin Bai, someone who had merely achieved Perfect Yin Saint Realm, could push him to reveal his Martial Soul incensed him to the core!

As his Martial Soul emerged, Yu Liang swung his blade toward the heavens!

Severing Netherworld—Yu Liang’s strongest strike—a technique even monstrous geniuses such as Wei Tianjun and Yan Tuo dared not challenge head-on, one that he believed would not only shatter Lin Bai’s sword qi but annihilate Lin Bai himself!

Yet, a shocking development occurred once more.

This seemingly invincible Martial Soul Secret Skill of Yu Liang’s failed not only to destroy Lin Bai’s sword qi but was instead obliterated entirely by the sword!

"What..." Yu Liang gazed at the sight with disbelief, his ultimate skill utterly ineffective against Lin Bai’s strike. His faith shattered.

His mind reeled back to Lin Bai’s earlier declaration: "...If I wanted to kill you, it would take but one sword."

"Could it be true? Does he truly possess the strength to kill me with a single sword?" Yu Liang murmured, his eyes lifeless.

Lin Bai did not boast—a sword like "Slaying Immortal" was a strike few among his generation could withstand!

Whoosh—

Lin Bai’s Slaying Immortal Sword carried the winds and clouds, descending with irresistible force.

It struck Yu Liang dead-on, slicing his body cleanly in two—even his Divine Elixir shattering instantly!

Yu Liang was dead!

The moment Yu Liang’s corpse fell to the earth, every warrior present was dumbstruck!

This was unbelievable!

Yu Liang was truly dead?

Two Holy Son-level warriors had perished within the Stars Secret Realm!

A deathly stillness filled the air; even the howling of the black storm seemed to come to a halt.

Every observing warrior stood as if petrified, their gazes locked on Lin Bai! None dared to believe it—Lin Bai had truly slain Yu Liang with a single sword.

Yu Liang was no mere cabbage; he was the Saint of the Heavenly Sword Sect, carrying the reputation of being the foremost blade cultivator among Lingnan’s youth. Yet Lin Bai had cut him down with a single strike!

"Yu Liang is dead!"

"My goodness, he was the Heavenly Sword Sect’s treasured son! His death will surely provoke Heavenly Sword Sect’s wrath!"

"Just how strong is Dongfang Bai? He claimed he would kill Yu Liang with a single sword—and then did exactly that!"

Warriors outside the nine storm circles cried out in shock. When their eyes fell on Lin Bai, their expressions were no longer astonished; they bore reverence tinged with fear!

After killing Yu Liang, Lin Bai retrieved Yu Liang’s storage bag. His eyes then turned toward the second storm circle.

While Lin Bai had killed Yu Liang and Yang Changdong, Wei Tianjun and Luo Yutong had entered the second storm circle.

Meanwhile, Yejian Jun and Yan Tuo Mirong stepped forward and entered the first storm circle!

Lin Bai redirected his gaze toward Wei Tianjun, who was in the second storm circle. A cold glint in his eyes, he stepped forward, exuding murderous intent as he headed into the second storm circle.

All the while, Wei Tianjun’s face tightened within the second circle. He knew... Lin Bai was coming for him!
