The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1712 - 1709: Blood Soul King!

Chapter 1712: Chapter 1709: Blood Soul King!

Before the God-fallen Mountain Range, countless Demon Clan powerhouses clad in blood-red armor stood scattered across the wild terrains. Their eyes, filled with ferocity, glared into the depths of the mountain range.

The Blood Soul Legion: one of the frontier-defending legions of the Holy Kingdom of Thousands Demons and also among the most feared forces in the kingdom today. Within its ranks, the Demon Clan soldiers are infamous for their exceptional bravery and unmatched prowess!

"Blood Soul Legion!"

Lin Bai raised his gaze to the earth ahead. There stood innumerable Demons, some still in human form, others in beast form, yet all unmistakably clad in armor that appeared stained with fresh blood!

Standing before this army of ten thousand strong Blood Soul Legion was the Sea Demon King and a commanding officer dressed in the same blood-red armor. Their eyes coldly fixed upon Lin Bai and his companions as they emerged from the God-fallen Mountains.

"Dongfang Bai, you finally decided to show yourself."

The Sea Demon King sneered viciously at Lin Bai as he spoke.

The burly officer beside the Sea Demon King glanced curiously at Lin Bai and remarked, "So he’s Dongfang Bai—the Junior Sword Venerate exiled from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect?"

"Doesn’t look like much to me."

The officer coldly commented.

The Sea Demon King chuckled lightly and said, "Blood Soul King, you’re mistaken. Dongfang Bai’s strength is far from weak. Earlier, I underestimated him for a moment, and he severed my left arm!"

"If my guess is correct, Blood King’s relics have probably all fallen into his hands."

The Sea Demon King said indifferently.

The Blood Soul King—one of the victors in the Holy Kingdom’s martial arts tournament amongst thousands of Demon Saints and ranked among the seven thousand two hundred Demon Kings. Upon becoming a Demon King, one could pledge loyalty to the Holy Kingdom, be conferred lands and titles, or choose to wander freely as a recluse.

The Blood Soul King chose loyalty to the Holy Kingdom, becoming a frontier commander who forged the fearsome Blood Soul Legion!

The Blood Soul King remarked coldly, "Enough nonsense. Have them hand over all of the Blood King’s relics, and afterward, he can end himself."

With contempt shimmering in his gaze, the Blood Soul King cast a brief glance at Dongfang Bai before speaking chillingly again.

Within a hundred-thousand-mile radius of the God-fallen Mountains, nearly all Human Clan warriors had been eradicated by the Demons. Upon hearing news of the Blood Soul Legion’s arrival in the Exile Land, the warriors there hastily fled with their families.

It was no exaggeration to say the warriors of the Exile Land fled for their lives, leaving the region desolate.

The only ones remaining now were Lin Bai and his companions, who had just stepped out of the God-fallen Mountains!

The Sea Demon King shouted, "Dongfang Bai, hand over the Blood King’s relics!"

"The Blood King’s relics—are they referring to that pool of fresh blood?" Lin Bai sneered and asked.

The Sea Demon King replied icily, "Correct."

Lin Bai laughed coldly, "Sorry to disappoint you. That pool of blood has already been completely refined by me."

"Impossible! The Blood King’s blood, refined and condensed from myriad spirits, contains extraordinarily pure spiritual power within each drop. For ordinary warriors or Demons to refine even a single drop would take several days!"

The Sea Demon King exclaimed incredulously. "How could you possibly refine all of the Blood King’s blood in such a short period of time?"

He growled menacingly, "Dongfang Bai, don’t think I’m easily fooled!"

Lin Bai spread his arms apathetically and replied, "Since you don’t believe me, go check for yourself!"

The Sea Demon King sneered, "Dongfang Bai, you’re bold despite losing your title of Junior Sword Venerate from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect. Don’t be too arrogant; there’s no one left backing you now!"

The Blood Soul King scoffed dismissively, "Sea Demon King, why waste words on him? Kill him already!"

"Troops, attack!"

With a roar, the Blood Soul King commanded his forces. In an instant, the Blood Soul Legion let out a unified and furious howl as countless Demons revealed their true forms. Roaring wildly, they surged towards Lin Bai and his companions.

Lin Bai’s expression tightened. Facing such a vast tide of Demonic forces, even a life-and-death realm powerhouse would feel their courage falter!

"Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group—prepare to engage!"

Tiehai Tang shouted resolutely!

Gao Lin and Yang Qingyun trembled uncontrollably at the sight of the overwhelming enemy force. They gripped their Treasure Swords tightly, their gazes filled with trepidation as they looked upon the advancing Demon army.

"Hai Tang, take the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group and retreat. Don’t worry about me." Lin Bai said indifferently.

Tiehai Tang responded firmly, "How could I possibly abandon you?"

"I’ve said it before—I’m no longer the weak warrior of old!"

"Watch closely now; Auntie is very strong!"

"Protect Dongfang Bai! Leave the Sea Demon King to me!" Tiehai Tang said sharply.

At that moment, the Sea Demon King launched himself towards Lin Bai. Tiehai Tang scoffed, her entire body igniting with a fiery red aura as she drew a long spear and thrust it fiercely at the Sea Demon King.

"Little girl, you’re truly courting death!" The Sea Demon King sneered as he saw Tiehai Tang charging forward, his palm striking sharply towards her.

The strike carried immense power—his full-force attack.

However, as the strike neared Tiehai Tang, her spear shot forward with explosive force, shattering layer upon layer of offensives. A trace of Divine Dragon aura spread from Tiehai Tang’s body.

"Dragon aura... You’re part of the Demon Clan?" The Sea Demon King exclaimed in shock as Tiehai Tang’s spear blast sent him flying backward. His wide eyes stared at her in disbelief.

That fleeting aura which surged through Tiehai Tang—a terror-inducing presence wreaking havoc on the Sea Demon King’s very soul—was undeniably the Dragon Clan’s Divine Dragon’s aura.

The Dragon Clan, revered as kings of all Demons and gods of the Demon Clan, had long been the absolute rulers of their kind. The fear instilled by their dominion over the Demon Clan through countless eras had embedded itself deep within every Demon’s soul.

It was no exaggeration to say the mere diffusion of Dragon Clan’s Dragon aura was enough to leave even the mightiest Demons clutching their hearts in terror. Such was the majesty of the Dragon Clan!

"Auntie is a proud and noble member of the Human Clan! As for that Dragon aura... Ha—it’s not Dragon aura; it’s the Dragon Clan’s laments!" Tiehai Tang sneered.

The Sea Demon King stared blankly at her, gasping, "How is this... How is this possible..."

With a mocking smile, Tiehai Tang thrust her spear forward with unstoppable momentum. Radiant golden glimmers coalesced, and cutting-edge spear-light clashed ferociously.

"Sea Suppressing Palm!"

The Sea Demon King roared and struck with his palm.

But the spear pierced through the force of his palm strike, erupting fiercely and penetrating his body with devastating precision—inflicting far graver wounds than the injury Lin Bai had delivered before.

"Hai Tang’s martial skill can inflict such grievous wounds to Demons?" Lin Bai muttered in astonishment.

Coughing blood uncontrollably, the Sea Demon King glared intensely at Tiehai Tang. He turned around and bellowed, "Blood Soul King, what are you waiting for?"
