The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1677 - 1674: Slaying Chen Kui!

Chapter 1677: Chapter 1674: Slaying Chen Kui!

Thousands of blood-colored light shadows, as sharp as swords piercing through the void, rushed towards Lin Bai’s body with a deafening roar. The sound instantly spread far and wide, space trembled, and dust rolled skyward!

The warriors of the Luo Family wore expressions of pure terror.

Luo Tianxuan was even more frightened, his soul almost leaving his body.

If a Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were to die because of the Luo Family, the Luo Family would surely face being eradicated completely by the sect.

"Hahaha, a Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect? Is this all there is?" The warrior named Chen Kui let out a howling laugh.

Luo Tianxuan was now considering abandoning his plan to compete with the Third Prince for the Heavenly Saint Fruit, instead turning back to check on Lin Bai’s fate.

"Junior Sword Venerate!"

Luo Tianxuan called out urgently.

"Heh, your Martial Soul Secret Skill isn’t bad. Now take my Martial Soul Secret Skill in return!" Just at this moment, from the spot where the myriad blood shadows had exploded, streaks of green thunder began to emerge.

Luo Tianxuan froze in place, his eyes wide, staring at the thick smoke ahead.

Crack—Crack—

One after another, the green lightning bolts emerged, shattering the dust cloud in an explosion. A young man stood there unscathed, staring at Chen Kui with a cold smirk.

"This..." Chen Kui looked at Lin Bai, incredulously, his voice trembling with fear. "How is this possible? My Martial Soul Secret Skill didn’t even scratch you?"

Chen Kui was utterly shocked. His Martial Soul Secret Skill was overwhelmingly powerful—enough to intimidate even warriors at the Sixth Level of the Yangshen Realm. How could Lin Bai, by comparison, survive this so easily?

After seeing Lin Bai effortlessly withstand his skill, Chen Kui’s face was a mask of disbelief.

Lin Bai’s gaze turned icy as he stared at Chen Kui. "Martial Soul! Yanluo Hall!"

Woosh—Woosh—Woosh—

Suddenly, a sinister wind swept through the heavens and earth. Endless black mist condensed above Lin Bai, forming a spectral Senluo Grand Hall. Lin Bai leaped into the Yanluo Hall!

"It’s the Emperor-grade Martial Soul of the Saint of the Luotian Sect—the Yanluo Hall!"

Chen Kui exclaimed in terror.

High within the Yanluo Hall, Lin Bai coldly eyed Chen Kui, flipping open the book before him. The name "Chen Kui" appeared on its pages. Instantly, Lin Bai infused spiritual power into his pen, drawing a line through the name, completely erasing Chen Kui from the Book of Life and Death!

"Chen Kui! Erased from the Book of Life and Death!"

As Lin Bai’s spiritual power made the stroke, Chen Kui’s terrified expression instantly shifted. As he stumbled backward, he vomited a mouthful of blood. Moments later, blood began oozing from his seven orifices!

"All ghosts and gods heed my command! Seize this person! Sentence him to the Eighteen Levels of Hell!"

Lin Bai pointed forward, and thousands of evil ghosts surged out from the Yanluo Hall, charging towards Chen Kui.

"No!" Chen Kui shouted in panic and quickly retreated. Spiritual power exploded from his hands, destroying the evil ghosts that assaulted him.

But the evil ghosts were innumerable, and Chen Kui, despite his strength, couldn’t fight them all at once. In an instant, the ghosts encircled him, and shrill screams escaped his lips as they tore chunks of flesh from his body.

At that moment, Lin Bai stepped out of the Yanluo Hall, his Demonic Sword slashing through the air. "First Horizontal!"

A peerlessly sharp sword aura shot forth, as if shattering the sun, moon, and stars, heading straight for Chen Kui.

En route, countless ghosts were obliterated within its path before the blade struck Chen Kui, slicing him cleanly in half!

Chen Kui’s physical body perished, and his soul was dragged into the Yanluo Hall by the swarm of evil ghosts, disappearing without a trace.

Luo Tianxuan witnessed this scene with utter dread. Just moments ago, Chen Kui had the upper hand against Lin Bai, but in the blink of an eye, Chen Kui was slain.

"That useless Chen Kui couldn’t even kill a warrior at the first level of the Yangshen Realm," the Third Prince grumbled angrily.

After slaying Chen Kui, Lin Bai turned his gaze to the Third Prince. Returning to the Yanluo Hall, he seated himself on the skeletal throne and opened the Book of Life and Death once again.

The name "Zhang Qian" appeared on its pages.

Zhang Qian—the Third Prince’s true name.

"Zhang Qian! Erased from the Book of Life and Death!" Lin Bai sliced his spiritual power across the name, erasing it.

Thud—

As the name vanished from the Book of Life and Death, the Third Prince’s bloated body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. He staggered back repeatedly, spitting blood before fresh blood began pouring from his seven orifices.

In an instant, the Third Prince suffered severe injuries!

Lin Bai stepped out of the Yanluo Hall once more and spoke coldly, "Senior Luo Tianxuan, leave the Third Prince to me. Go secure the Heavenly Saint Fruit!"

Seeing Lin Bai incapacitate the Third Prince so effortlessly, Luo Tianxuan was stunned, but upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, joy spread across his face. "I’ll leave it to the Junior Sword Venerate then."

Luo Tianxuan turned quickly, flying toward the Heavenly Saint Fruit.

"Stormy Ambience! Devouring Sun Sword Skill!" Lin Bai stepped forward, his Demonic Sword sweeping into motion. Thousands of sword shadows roared like torrential rain, striking toward the Third Prince with ruthless force, each blade meant to kill!

But the Third Prince was a warrior at the Fifth Level of the Yangshen Realm. Although his soul had been gravely wounded by the Yanluo Hall, killing him outright would not be easy!

The Devouring Sun Sword Skill rushed forward, targeting the Third Prince’s face.

The Third Prince’s bloated body trembled, and a horrifying surge of power erupted. With a single punch, he shattered all the sword shadows Lin Bai had unleashed!

"Horizontal and Vertical!" Lin Bai’s gaze changed as his expression turned icy.

The power of the Single-Stroke Sword Skill erupted again.

A double slash—the Twin Swords cleaved through all of the Third Prince’s defenses, sending him flying, spitting blood in despair.

"Die!" Lin Bai charged forward once more.

The Third Prince cried out in panic. "Dongfang Bai Junior Sword Venerate, don’t kill me! I’m a member of the Beiyang Dynasty’s Imperial Clan! Killing me, even as the Junior Sword Venerate of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, will spell disaster for you!"

Lin Bai sneered, his sword unwavering as it continued to press toward the Third Prince.

Seeing Lin Bai’s determination, fear flashed in the Third Prince’s eyes. He roared, "Elder Xuanhuo, help me!"

"Elder Xuanhuo, if I die, the Heavenly Saint Fruit in my storage bag will fall into the hands of the Luo Family. Your Fenxin Sect will lose the chance to claim them with our Imperial Clan!"

The Third Prince shouted desperately.

There was a certain arrangement between the Beiyang Dynasty’s Royal Family and Fenxin Sect. Together, they would harvest the Heavenly Saint Fruit, splitting the spoils only after the matter was done.

If the Third Prince fell to Lin Bai, then the fruits he possessed would undoubtedly go to Lin Bai, resulting in a major loss for Fenxin Sect!

"Stop!"

Just then, an enraged voice echoed, followed by a terrifying blast of Fierce Flames aiming at Lin Bai’s back.

Lin Bai immediately knew who the attacker was!

Yet Lin Bai did not falter. Qingmu Divine Thunder surged to form a shield behind him, while his sword decisively pierced through the Third Prince’s throat, killing him outright!

The Third Prince’s eyes bulged as he stared at Lin Bai, and with a final tilt of his head, his body plummeted from the sky.

Lin Bai reached out, retrieving the Third Prince’s storage bag. He opened it and counted the contents—over three hundred Heavenly Saint Fruits!
