The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1708 - 1705: Ghost Sword! Luo Xiu!

Chapter 1708: Chapter 1705: Ghost Sword! Luo Xiu!

In Ye Jianjun’s hand, the sword emitted a silver glow all over its body. Its blade was sharp, and its sword body was engraved with six scenes of reincarnation, akin to hell, where countless evil ghosts wailed in anguish.

As this sword emerged, the surroundings were immediately filled with howling gusts of yin wind, piercingly cold, as though evil ghosts crawling out of the Frozen Hell had once again descended upon the mortal realm.

"Ghost Sword! Luo Xiu!"

Lin Bai stared at the sword in Ye Jianjun’s hand, his eyes tightening with intensity.

Ye Jianjun chuckled softly: "Ghost Sword, I’ve been searching the Lingnan Continent for three years. Finally, not long ago, my clone tracked its whereabouts, enabling me to claim the Ghost Sword."

Lin Bai chuckled lightly in response: "Your clones are indeed quite useful. Once dispersed across the Lingnan Continent, whether collecting intelligence or gathering cultivation resources, they serve many purposes."

"Indeed. But alas, all ten of my clones were slain by you," Ye Jianjun’s gaze turned icy cold. "Do you know what price I paid to create those nine clones?"

"Do you know how much rest I require to refine each clone?"

"Half a year! A full six months!" Ye Jianjun remarked coldly, "Each clone condensation drains one-third of my vitality and divine soul power, requiring me to recuperate for half a year to recover."

"After joining the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, outsiders claimed I secluded myself. The truth... was that I couldn’t leave! The weakness after creating clones reduced me to lying on the ground like a dead dog for six months, utterly immobile!"

"I sacrificed so much, dedicated five full years to refine those ten clones, only for you to annihilate them entirely!"

"Lin Bai, you say I have a sea of blood feud with you, but don’t you also have a sea of blood feud with me?"

Ye Jianjun spoke coldly.

Ten clones?

Only now did Lin Bai suddenly recall that on the Miracle Ridge, Ye Jianjun also left behind a clone, but that clone had long been slain by Lin Bai!

Ye Jianjun’s expression on his face grew gradually twisted, staring at Lin Bai, his eyes beginning to turn deep red.

"Today, I will cut you down to end my journey across the Territories of all nations and avenge my slain clones!" Ye Jianjun’s gaze hardened abruptly. The Ghost Sword in his hand flashed, and a sharp, unrivaled sword aura shot toward Lin Bai.

Buzz—

A piercing sword intention broke through the void, rushing toward Lin Bai’s body. Simultaneously, Ye Jianjun’s explosive power at the sixth level of the Yangshen Realm surged forth, an unstoppable force heading straight for the kill!

Swoosh—

The sword aura streaked across, instantly slashing a Heaven-reaching sword mark through the melting cave.

"Wind God Slash!"

Lin Bai’s Demonic Sword flickered, unleashing a streak of cyan sword aura toward Ye Jianjun!

"Wind God Slash!" Ye Jianjun simultaneously unleashed the Wind God Slash, striking toward Lin Bai.

Rumble—

Two streaks of sword light clashed repeatedly within the melting cave. The tremendous power tore apart the surrounding stone walls into fragments. With a deafening boom, the entire Shenyu Mountains erupted with earth-shaking angry roars.

Bang—

In one collision, Lin Bai was sent flying by Ye Jianjun’s sword.

The sixth-level cultivation of the Yangshen Realm made Ye Jianjun’s true body significantly stronger than his previous clones!

"Rain God Slash!"

"Rain God Slash!"

Ye Jianjun and Lin Bai roared simultaneously, as both the Demonic Sword and Ghost Sword radiated an overwhelming sword aura. The two swords clashed violently once again!

Above the Shenyu Mountains, at the instant Lin Bai and Ye Jianjun’s swords collided, layers of dense dark clouds instantly gathered in the skies high above.

Outside the Shenyu Mountains, countless warriors witnessing the phenomena within the mountains were struck with fear.

"What’s happening?"

"Why did the weather drastically change within the Shenyu Mountains?"

"What terrifying sword intention! I can feel a surge of sword aura emanating from deep within the Shenyu Mountains!"

"..."

Outside the Shenyu Mountains, countless warriors exclaimed in alarm.

Beyond the warriors, a burly Da Han with a severed arm gazed toward the Shenyu Mountains, his eyes sharp with intent. He was none other than the Sea Demon King who had escaped from the mountains.

"Sea Demon King, are we retreating from the Exile Land?" a Demon Clan powerhouse inquired.

The Sea Demon King replied coldly: "If my assumptions are correct, this must be the Blood King’s burial site. The Blood King’s essence is an unparalleled treasure on the Lingnan Continent, an extraordinary Divine Elixir!"

"If I acquire his blood, my cultivation could advance further. If I present the blood to the Demon Emperor, it could enable the Demon Emperor to break through to the Life-and-Death Realm!"

"How can we retreat?"

"Summon the hundred-thousand-strong Demon Clan army from the Holy Kingdom of Thousands Demons to the Exile Land immediately! No matter the cost, we must claim all of the Demon Blood here. If we can’t take it, we must ensure it doesn’t fall into Human Clan hands!"

The Sea Demon King commanded coldly.

"Understood, I will deliver the orders right away," the Demon Clan powerhouse responded, his tone equally cold.

Staring deep into the Shenyu Mountains, the Sea Demon King’s eyes turned icy, and a chilling grin crept upon his face: "Dongfang Bai! I will make sure you die without a corpse!"

As he spoke, he glanced at his missing left arm, where it had begun to slowly regenerate. At this rate, it would take at least half a year for his left arm to fully grow back!

...

"Thunder God Slash!"

"Thunder God Slash!"

Inside the melting cave, Lin Bai and Ye Jianjun simultaneously unleashed the Four Gods Sword Slash, engaging in a frenzied clash. The massive spiritual power collision sent shockwaves across the Shenyu Mountains, causing countless warriors outside to tremble in fear!

"Aurora Realm! Electricity God Slash!"

"Electricity God Slash!"

Lin Bai unleashed the Electricity God Slash in synergy with the Aurora Realm, a blindingly swift sword strike aimed at Ye Jianjun.

Yet Ye Jianjun responded with his own sword, piercing through the void toward Lin Bai. At the moment their swords collided, Lin Bai, the Saint of the Human Clan, was sent flying miserably, crashing into the stone walls and coughing up blood.

Meanwhile, Ye Jianjun merely took ten backward steps. Though his body bore sword marks, he remained largely unharmed!

"Cough, cough!" Lin Bai climbed up from the ground, his face twisted in fury as he glared at Ye Jianjun.

"Your life is mine!" Ye Jianjun’s figure blurred as he gave Lin Bai no chance to recover, his sword thrusting directly toward Lin Bai’s throat, its razor edge aiming to end Lin Bai’s life.

In that instant, Lin Bai’s expression hardened. Gritting his teeth, he roared:

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai shouted toward the skies, red and orange glows erupting and condensing around him.

In that moment, Lin Bai’s power soared to the peak of the Fourth Level of the Yangshen Realm!

"First Horizontal!"

As the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill activated, Lin Bai’s strength surged. The Single-Stroke Sword Skill burst forth its terrifying might, blasting Ye Jianjun backward. The sword aura tore through Ye Jianjun’s chest, nearly gutting him and leaving him visibly shaken!

"First Vertical!"

Recovering from the first strike, Lin Bai dove in again, delivering a second slash.

"Horizontal and Vertical!"

A storm-like torrent of sword aura swept toward Ye Jianjun, threatening to devour his physical form entirely!
