The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1709 - 1706: Sword Spirit World!

Chapter 1709: Chapter 1706: Sword Spirit World!

After the Single-Stroke Sword Skill burst forth, Lin Bai completely overwhelmed Yejian Jun, leaving him with no ability to retaliate!

Above Lin Bai’s head, a surge of black mist churned as the Senluo Grand Hall suddenly manifested. Lin Bai flipped his body and landed inside the grand hall, flipping open the Book of Life and Death: "Yejian Jun! Your name is erased from the Book of Life and Death!"

Yejian Jun, who had already been battered and bruised by the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill and King Level Sword Skill, now suffered a soul-shattering blow from Yanluo Hall. His entire body was drenched in blood as he crashed miserably into the stone wall.

Yejian Jun lay prone on the ground, his breath faint, on the verge of death!

"Yejian Jun!" Lin Bai, seeing Yejian Jun in such a state, let a flash of ruthlessness pass through his eyes. The Flying Sword surged from his Dantian, and the Primordial Unity Sword Array unfolded once again!

"Hand over your life!"

Lin Bai’s face was filled with malice, his eyes blood-red.

The Flying Sword trembled lightly, and the might of the Primordial Unity Sword Array erupted at that very spot, thrusting a sword directly toward Yejian Jun’s body!

At this moment, Yejian Jun was lying on the ground, his vitality weak, teetering on the brink of death. Should this sword strike hit its mark, it would inevitably kill him immediately!

But at that precise moment,

A shocking scene unfolded.

Clearly lying weak and near death on the ground, Yejian Jun suddenly raised his hand at the very instant the sword charged toward him, stabilizing the Flying Sword effortlessly in mid-air!

Bang—

The Flying Sword was caught single-handedly by Yejian Jun and could not move forward!

"What!" Lin Bai’s pupils widened. He never imagined that a grievously injured Yejian Jun would still have the strength to catch his Flying Sword with one hand!

Gripping the Flying Sword, Yejian Jun slowly rose from the ground. Crimson radiance flared across his body as he sneered, "Lin Bai, you and I were both Junior Sword Venerates of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"Do you truly believe you’re the only one skilled in the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill?"

"Let me tell you something—I’m well-versed in it too!"

A crimson glow spread across Yejian Jun’s body. With the enhancement of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, Yejian Jun’s strength surged to the pinnacle of the Seventh Level of the Yangshen Realm!

"Your arsenal of techniques is already spent." Yejian Jun sneered coldly. "If this is the extent of your abilities, you should prepare to join your wife and child in the afterlife!"

"Martial Soul!"

Moments after casting the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, Yejian Jun roared furiously. Above his head, a murky yellow world radiating an ancient and weathered aura began to emerge!

"That Martial Soul..."

Lin Bai stared in escalating terror at the Martial Soul hovering above Yejian Jun!

Yejian Jun let out a cold laugh. "Lin Bai, after you killed so many of my incarnations, you never laid eyes on my Martial Soul, did you?"

"Let me enlighten you—my Martial Soul is none other than an Emperor-level Martial Soul... the Sword Spirit World!"

Lin Bai gazed at the yellowish world coalescing atop Yejian Jun’s head. Across the vast terrain of this world, countless swords of various forms and shapes were planted densely!

As Yejian Jun unveiled his Martial Soul, the Devouring Sword Spirit within Lin Bai’s body suddenly trembled before emitting strong waves of resistance and fury—it seemed ready to burst forth to annihilate Yejian Jun’s Martial Soul!

Yejian Jun released his grip on the Flying Sword, which promptly returned to Lin Bai’s side.

Yejian Jun sneered as he fixed his gaze upon Lin Bai. Above his head, his Sword Spirit World glimmered brilliantly, radiating a divine and awe-inspiring power that shook the heavens and overwhelmed all living beings!

"The Nine-element Sword Box!"

Yejian Jun issued a low shout as a sword box emerged from his Sword Spirit World. Within the box, nine pitch-black swords shimmered, charging fiercely toward Lin Bai.

"The Nine-element Sword Box! Feng Yunxiu’s Martial Soul from the Lingdong Wind and Cloud Dynasty! How could it possibly be in your possession?!" Lin Bai exclaimed in astonishment as he beheld the Nine-element Sword Box shoot forth from Yejian Jun’s Sword Spirit World.

"The Nine-element Sword Box, earned through my slaying of Feng Yunxiu at Lingdong Divine Ridge!" Yejian Jun sneered with a chilling laugh. The Nine-element Sword Box surged toward Lin Bai, striking him with full force and riddling him with injuries!

Simultaneously, Yejian Jun willed another sword to emerge from the depths of his Sword Spirit World, targeting Lin Bai. "The Traceless Sword Spirit, acquired after slaying Purple-robed Inner Sect disciples of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

Whoosh—

The Martial Soul techniques of the Sword Spirit flashed like lightning, leaving no trail or trace.

Lin Bai could only sense an unbearable killing intent sweep past him in a flash. He hurriedly summoned Qingmu Divine Thunder to shield his body.

But in that instant, the Traceless Sword Spirit tore through the defensive barrier of Qingmu Divine Thunder, punching a bloodied hole the size of a fist into Lin Bai’s abdomen!

"How is this possible..."

Lin Bai stammered, his voice rife with disbelief. "Your Martial Soul—it can enslave other sword-type Martial Souls!"

Yejian Jun erupted into maniacal laughter. "Hahaha, Lin Bai, you’re mistaken. This isn’t enslavement... this is domination!"

"Under Heaven, all sword-type Martial Souls are subject to domination by my Martial Soul!"

"The moment a foe is killed, I can subjugate their Martial Soul before their life expires, making it serve me!"

Yejian Jun sneered coldly, "Lin Bai, my Martial Soul senses that your Martial Soul is also sword-type... Before you die, it too will be enslaved to me, serving at my command!"

Lin Bai’s expression darkened as he gazed at Yejian Jun. Within him, the Devouring Sword Spirit trembled furiously, threatening to erupt and obliterate Yejian Jun’s Martial Soul!

Lin Bai pulled himself up from the ground and spat coldly, "My Martial Soul may be sword-type, but it isn’t one that a mere Emperor-level Martial Soul can enslave!"

"Oh? Then let’s test that theory!" Yejian Jun roared in fury and willed another Martial Soul from his Sword Spirit World. A massive sword-type Martial Soul emerged: "The Sky-splitting Sword Spirit! Acquired from slaying the Imperial Guard Army of the Azure Dragon Empire!"

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Heaven Opening!"

Yejian Jun manipulated the Sword Spirit, unleashing a devastating strike toward Lin Bai. The colossal Sky-splitting Sword Spirit descended like an unstoppable force, crashing violently against Lin Bai!

"Qingmu Divine Thunder!"

Within Lin Bai’s body, waves of terrifying Thunderbolt Power surged and enveloped him entirely.

But when the Sky-splitting Sword Spirit slashed down, all the verdant lightning surrounding Lin Bai crumbled instantly, and Lin Bai was hurled through the air—landing at the edge of the Blood Pool.

Splatter—

Lin Bai fell heavily to the ground, coughing up fresh blood. His face turned pale, his expression drained of spirit!

"Hahaha!" Yejian Jun walked toward Lin Bai one step at a time with his Martial Soul, speaking coldly: "Lin Bai, had it not been for my presence on the Lingnan Continent, perhaps this region would have seen you rise to power!"

"Yet, you foolishly sought me out!"

"In that case, I’ll send you straight to Hell."

"Traceless Sword Spirit! Martial Soul Secret Skill, Sword Beyond Trace!" Yejian Jun uttered with chilling disdain as the Traceless Sword Spirit flew forth once more, aiming to finish off Lin Bai.

Lin Bai responded icily, "Yejian Jun, do you truly think victory is yours?"

"Heh, you’re curious about my Martial Soul, aren’t you?"

"Then today, I’ll show you!"

With fierce determination in his eyes, Lin Bai glared at Yejian Jun before rolling his body off the Blood Pool’s edge—tumbling heavily into the pool below.
