The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1705 - 1702: Sea Demon King!

Chapter 1705: Chapter 1702: Sea Demon King!

Lin Bai took a step onto the square, glanced around, but did not see any sign of Yejian Jun. He then asked coldly, "Where is that black-clothed swordsman? Did any of you see him?"

The Li Family Head and Zhang Family Leader from the Three Great Families both looked stunned and said, "He disappeared after entering this place. We have no idea where he went."

"Dongfang Bai, please take action,"

the leaders of the Three Great Families quickly pleaded.

Lin Bai was somewhat reluctant to act. The King-level Spiritual Artifact here intrigued him a little, but his primary purpose at the moment was to kill Yejian Jun!

Without finding Yejian Jun, even though there was a Divine Weapon present, it couldn’t tempt Lin Bai.

"Humph, Dongfang Bai, are you the one who was expelled from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect as the Junior Sword Venerable? You’ve actually come here? Very well, let me, this old man, see just how powerful the disciples of the Seven Major Sects truly are."

The Sea Demon King sneered and struck out with one palm, forcing the three family heads aside. He turned swiftly and lunged at Lin Bai, a cold sneer forming and his face becoming possessed with malice.

An immense force within his body pressed toward Lin Bai, as if a towering mountain were bearing down.

"Sea Suppressing Palm!"

The Sea Demon King launched his palm downward, and the terrifying might of this strike appeared as though it could subdue the raging, roaring Vast Ocean in a single blow. The momentum was overwhelming, and the power shocked everyone!

The horrifying force crushed against Lin Bai’s body, as if aiming to grind him into fragments!

"Scram!"

Lin Bai boldly unsheathed his sword. The Demonic Sword flickered, and boundless Sword Aura filled the underground square, converging into an irresistible Sword Qi that slashed directly toward the Sea Demon King.

The Sea Demon King’s face turned pale in surprise. He swiftly moved back to evade!

"Horizontal Stroke!"

Lin Bai stepped forward, and the power of the Single-Stroke Sword Skill erupted instantly.

A heaven-reaching sword cleaved directly toward the Sea Demon King’s body.

"A disciple from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect does have some skill, but your cultivation level is too low; it’s hard for you to catch this old man’s eye!" The Sea Demon King grinned maliciously, his internal power surging. With a single palm, he shattered Lin Bai’s Sword Qi!

"Too low cultivation? Heh."

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai silently recited to himself, and crimson and orange flames enveloped him. At this moment, Lin Bai’s cultivation surged from the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm to the Fourth Level!

"So this is the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s legacy Secret Skill? Indeed impressive, allowing you to ascend from the Second Level of Yangshen Realm to the Fourth Level. It’s quite something."

"But... still not enough!"

The Sea Demon King said with disdain.

"Is that so?" Lin Bai countered coldly, his sword striking towards the Sea Demon King.

"Vertical Stroke!"

Boom——

A Sword Qi that shook the Void, like an enraged dragon, burst forth from the Void, slashing toward the Sea Demon King’s body.

As Lin Bai unleashed this sword, the Sea Demon King’s expression changed drastically, hastily summoning his Spiritual Power to defend. Even so, he was still struck by Lin Bai’s sword and sent flying backward, crashing harshly against the stone wall.

A menacing and terrifying Sword Mark was left on the Sea Demon King’s chest.

"How is this possible?! Even though you used the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, your strength is still at the Fourth Level of the Yangshen Realm. How could you possibly repel me with one strike?" The Sea Demon King’s face was full of shock, as he couldn’t fathom being forced back by Lin Bai’s sword despite his cultivation being at the Sixth Level of the Yangshen Realm.

"Go ask Yama in Hell!"

"Horizontal and Vertical Stroke!"

As Lin Bai made his move, his killing intent was fully unleashed.

Two strands of Sword Qi swept across the eight directions, attacking the Sea Demon King relentlessly.

"Roar——" The Sea Demon King let out a booming roar. His demonic aura surged terrifyingly, and amidst the aura, a monster with eight tentacles manifested. The eight tentacles swung fiercely at Lin Bai’s Sword Qi.

Boom——

Deafening explosions echoed throughout the Shenyu Mountains.

"Slice!" Lin Bai advanced further, swinging the Demonic Sword. The Sword Light roared ferociously, targeting the eight tentacles. A sickening sound resonated, and four of the monster’s tentacles were slashed off!

But no blood spilled whatsoever.

"Ah!" A heartrending scream burst forth from the monster’s mouth.

"Wind God Slash!" Seizing the momentum, Lin Bai unleashed another strike. Fierce winds gathered turbulently around him, and a cyan Sword Light surged like a tidal wave, attacking sharply through the demonic aura.

Another agonized scream followed, as blood splattered everywhere, several more tentacles crashing heavily to the ground.

"Dongfang Bai, I won’t let this rest!" After spitting out venomous words, the monster swirled its demonic aura and fled the stone cave instantly.

As the Sea Demon King departed, the rest of the Demon Clan hesitated but soon followed him in hot pursuit.

"Escaped?"

"Humph, lucky for you!"

Lin Bai watched the Sea Demon King flee and chose not to chase him. After all, Lin Bai’s purpose here was to find Yejian Jun!

"King-level Spiritual Artifact." As Lin Bai scared off the Sea Demon King, his gaze fell upon the long stick embedded in the ground. Slowly, he moved closer and pulled it out.

"Turns out it’s a damaged King-level Spiritual Artifact!"

The long stick was now in Lin Bai’s grasp. Though it contained nearly boundless power, Lin Bai could sense it was incomplete—likely broken by someone!

"Dongfang Bai! Hand over the King-level Spiritual Artifact!" At this time, the leaders of the Three Great Families simultaneously changed their expressions.

Having witnessed Lin Bai’s fierce battle with the Sea Demon King earlier, their faces had been filled with elation and shocked admiration for Lin Bai’s strength. But now that Lin Bai had seized the King-level Spiritual Artifact, they could no longer sit still. Their expressions darkened as they confronted Lin Bai harshly.

Sun Ji, now thoroughly agitated, said, "Uncle Li, Uncle Zhang, why waste time talking to him? He has the Demonic Sword, Flying Swords, and now the King-level Spiritual Artifact. If we kill him, we can split these treasures among ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, the Li Family Head and Zhang Family Leader’s faces lit up with delight. "Indeed, I’d forgotten. He has the Demonic Sword and Flying Swords on him. Perfect—once we’ve killed him, we can divide all the treasures he carries!"

"Take action!"

Zhang Family Leader sneered coldly.

The Three Family Heads believed that dealing with Lin Bai would be far easier than fighting the Sea Demon King. After all, while Lin Bai had forcibly boosted his cultivation using the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, it was ultimately external power. Lin Bai’s original cultivation was merely at the Second Level of the Yangshen Realm.

As the Three Great Families turned on him, Lin Bai, unsurprised, gave them a cold glare and said, "I advise you not to throw your lives away, or else I won’t hesitate to send you down to meet your ancestors!"

Lin Bai’s eyes glinted with chilling intent.

"Hahaha, Dongfang Bai, today, with hundreds of our experts from the Three Great Families here, the outcome of life and death is yet to be determined!" Sun Ji sneered venomously. "Your Demonic Sword is mine!"

After this proclamation, Sun Ji activated the Saint Seal Sect’s Ultimate Technique. The Void Seal formed again, rushing toward Lin Bai.

"Lin Bai, give me your life!" Sun Ji laughed wildly, his eyes filled with madness, as though he already held the Demonic Sword in his hands!

"Last time, you escaped by sheer luck. Do you really think you’re my match now?" With a cold glare, Lin Bai swiftly stowed the King-level Spiritual Artifact and lunged at Sun Ji with his sword!
