The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1738 - 1735: Curse of the Dead!

Chapter 1738: Chapter 1735: Curse of the Dead!

A tremendous earth-shattering noise echoed from the Forbidden Area within the Imperial City.

Lin Bai’s expression tightened as he saw Su Wang’s entire body enveloped by billowing black mist, within which countless tormented ghosts wailed in agony.

"This is..." The old man was terrified out of his wits upon witnessing the martial skills Su Wang unleashed, retreating several steps in awe!

The black mist surged skyward, and Su Wang within it appeared even more hideous!

Suddenly, Su Wang charged toward Lin Bai, his entire essence maintaining its cohesion. Just as he was about to reach Lin Bai, the endless black mist formed a rune mark on him.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Curse of the Dead!"

Su Wang lifted the rune mark and launched it toward Lin Bai.

Lin Bai swiftly wielded his sword, once again merging three realms of comprehension, and forcefully executed Slaying Immortal Sword. The sword, like a furious dragon rising from the sea, hit the rune mark with unparalleled force.

A thundering crash.

Lin Bai’s sword shattered Su Wang’s rune mark and then pierced Su Wang’s heart with a direct strike!

Bang —

Su Wang was sent flying again, crashing a hundred meters away, the breath of life on him gradually dissipating. Already clinging to life, the intense exchange with Lin Bai further depleted his remaining life force.

With Lin Bai piercing his heart, barring any surprises, Su Wang was surely doomed!

"Where is Su Cang?" Lin Bai coldly asked.

Su Wang looked at Lin Bai and then burst into mocking laughter, "Hahaha, I advise you not to look for Su Cang anymore. You’ve been inflicted with my Curse of the Dead; you can live at most only two or three months!"

"Cherish your remaining time well."

Su Wang sneered at Lin Bai, "I’ve said that even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me!"

"Curse of the Dead?" Lin Bai suddenly felt a surge of spiritual power, swiftly examining inside himself, and discovered a force continuously flowing within.

This force was relentlessly destroying Lin Bai’s meridians, the power of blood and breath...

"This is..."

"When did I get poisoned!"

Lin Bai said incredulously.

Su Wang sneered, "The Curse of the Dead coalesces without any power, but once shattered, its force gnaws at the warrior’s body!"

Lin Bai recalled that he had just shattered the Curse of the Dead with his sword.

According to Su Wang’s words, if Lin Bai hadn’t shattered the curse, allowing that strike to land on him, nothing would have happened to Lin Bai.

But by shattering the curse, Lin Bai had activated its force, which now adhered inside his body!

"The warrior afflicted with the Curse of the Dead rots from skin to bone... You see old me like this; that’s how you will be," Su Wang sneered at Lin Bai.

At this moment, Lin Bai’s expression turned tense. He activated the Five Elements Scripture, attempting to expel the force of the Curse of the Dead from his body, but no matter how hard Lin Bai exerted himself, the force was like a bone-chasing maggot, stubbornly circulating inside him.

A dark aura continually flowed from Lin Bai, while the vitality within him rapidly dwindled.

Lin Bai rolled up his sleeve and found the flesh on his arm rotting swiftly...

"This..." Lin Bai’s gaze turned cold; at this rate, within a month, his entire flesh would be consumed by the curse, leaving Lin Bai dead and turning into a pile of white bones!

Lin Bai’s expression shifted; he moved forward to Su Wang, the demonic sword resting on his neck, coldly asking, "Where’s the antidote?"

Su Wang sneered, "The Curse of the Dead has no antidote. Unless you die, its venom will follow you for life, as long as you draw breath!"

"Don’t say? Then I’ll find it myself!" Lin Bai struck Su Wang’s head with his palm, his gaze fierce, activating the Soul Searching Magic Spell to view Su Wang’s entire life’s memories!

A moment later, Lin Bai released Su Wang with a dour face.

Su Wang lay weakly on the ground.

Then, Lin Bai’s demonic sword flashed, severing Su Wang’s head!

Su Wang, the ancestor of the Su Dynasty, thus met his end!

"Ancestor!" The old man exclaimed in shock upon seeing Lin Bai kill Su Wang.

Lin Bai heard the voice and immediately rushed toward the old man.

The old man cried out in despair, "What do you want! What do you want!"

Lin Bai’s gaze was icy cold as he struck the old man’s head with his palm, scanning his memories as well; he released the old man after a while and killed him with another sword strike!

"Is there truly no antidote for the Curse of the Dead?" Lin Bai said somewhat hopelessly.

In both Su Wang’s and the old man’s memories, Lin Bai found no clues to an antidote for the curse, just as Su Wang claimed, seemingly without one!

"Nor did I find Su Cang’s whereabouts; in their memories, since Su Cang followed Su Lihai to the North Frost Dynasty, he hasn’t returned..."

"If Su Cang hasn’t returned to the Su Dynasty, where could he be?"

Lin Bai stood in the Forbidden Area of the Su Dynasty’s Imperial City, his expression dark.

His venture to the Su Dynasty not only failed to uncover Su Cang’s whereabouts but also resulted in Su Wang secretly poisoning him!

"Who dares trespass the Forbidden Area of the Su Dynasty’s Imperial City! Seeking death?"

"Imperial Guard, surround the Forbidden Area of the imperial city for me; don’t let even an ant escape!"

At this moment, a majestic, enraged voice came from outside the Forbidden Area.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Bai turned to see, beyond the clouds, a middle-aged man in imperial robes walking over with a murderous look.

"Su Dynasty’s Emperor and the Imperial Guard!" As Lin Bai watched the numerous soldiers swiftly encircle the Forbidden Area of the imperial city, he immediately activated his mind, and with a flash of flying swords, he dashed out of the Su Dynasty’s imperial city.

Since Lin Bai gained nothing about Su Cang here, engaging with the Su Dynasty’s Imperial Guard was unnecessary, especially now that he’s poisoned; finding a way to expel the venom had to come first!

With a flash of the flying sword, Lin Bai dashed out of the imperial city!

Watching the distant meteor, the Su Dynasty’s Emperor exclaimed, "Flying swords! It’s Dongfang Bai!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You should check the Forbidden Area; all of the princes and ancestors are..." At this moment, an old eunuch anxious beside the Emperor shouted.

"What happened to the ancestors?" The Emperor, shocked, said before entering the Forbidden Area of the imperial city, seeing corpses everywhere and Su Wang’s head severed by Lin Bai’s sword...

"Ancestor!" The Su Dynasty’s Emperor was dumbfounded at the head of the old man, then his face surged with boundless anger, "Dongfang Bai! The Su Dynasty shall not rest until you perish!"

Su Wang, being the ancestor of the Su Dynasty, was also a trump card within the dynasty. For years, neighboring dynasties had thoughts of invading the Su Dynasty but refrained due to the fear of Su Wang.

Now, with Su Wang’s death, this deterrent ceased to exist, and soon the frontier of the Su Dynasty would face a bloody battle...
