The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 184: Leaving the Pass! Fierce Battle on All Sides!

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Leaving the Pass! Fierce Battle on All Sides!

Lin Bai waited patiently inside the Time Cultivation Tower, waiting for the spiritual energy transformed from the last half month to be cultivated by the Time Cultivation Tower.

"Thunder God Seal..."

At this time, Lin Bai glanced at the Thunder God Seal on his arm.

This was the life-saving item that the powerful Thunder Frog from Qingling Mountain Range had gifted to Lin Bai.

"I would kill with one palm strike under the Divine Elixir!"

"I only have one chance, and I hope I never have to use this Thunder God Seal."

"Because once I use it, it would mean that I am already trapped in a desperate situation."

Lin Bai said with a somber tone.

Lin Bai had never forgotten about the Thunder God Seal. It was Lin Bai’s greatest life-saving Technique. Once used, a terrifying warrior beneath the Divine Elixir Realm would die by his hand.

Just as Lin Bai said, if he used the Thunder God Seal, it would mean that he had fallen into a desperate situation, or even had approached the brink of death.

"I hope I never get cornered to the brink of death."

Lin Bai took a deep breath.

In a blink of an eye, the last half month in the Time Cultivation Tower had finally come to an end.

When the Cultivation Tower was about to finish, the voice of the Stone Man echoed in it, "The cultivation time is about to end. Prepare to finish your cultivation. In one hour, the Time Cultivation Tower will open automatically."

Hearing this voice while meditating with his eyes closed, Lin Bai promptly opened his eyes, a glint appearing in his gaze.

"Three months have passed, huh? Well then, I wonder if this half month’s spiritual energy can push me to break through the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm."

The Devouring Sword Spirit was invoked, and the True Qi within the Time Cultivation Tower flowed continuously into Lin Bai’s body.

"The peak of the Seventh Level of Earth Martial Realm!"

"Just a little bit more, come on, give it all you’ve got!"

Lin Bai gritted his teeth in determination, sweat dripping from his forehead like rain.

Ka ka ——

Half an hour later, Lin Bai finally broke through the threshold of the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm that he had been stuck at for quite some time.

Boom ——

The True Qi surged within Lin Bai’s body, officially entering the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm.

"Hahaha, good. With the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm Cultivation, now I am eligible to have a bout with you all," Lin Bai said with an excited expression, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

There was still half an hour before the Time Cultivation Tower would open again.

Lin Bai used the last half hour to fully stabilize his cultivation at the Eighth Level of Earth Martial Realm.

...

The entrance to the Time Cultivation Tower.

The Stone Man called out once again, "Time is up, prepare to get out."

Immediately after, Liu Liang, Lin Zi’er, Ye Suxin, and Zhang Qun, who had been awaiting for a day, all stirred from their meditation and gathered in front of the Time Cultivation Tower.

"You bastard, come out and face your death! You’ve made me wait here all day; you deserve to die!" Liu Liang cried out in annoyance.

"Come out!"

Liu Liang took a step forward, roaring into the Time Cultivation Tower.

There was no response from inside the Time Cultivation Tower.

What answered Liu Liang was a streak of Sword Qi!

Shoo ——

A streak of Sword Qi flashed across the sky from inside the Time Cultivation Tower. The fierce cold radiance of that Sword Qi almost pierced the void.

With its incredible speed and formidable power, it aimed straight at Liu Liang.

"Damn it! I called you out to face your death, but you dare to attack me. Are you seeking your own death?" Liu Liang was furious; his body was surrounded by surging red flames as he invoked the renowned Fire Skill of the Fire Palace.

Scarlet True Qi coalesced on Liu Liang’s palm, directed at the Sword Qi.

With a huge bang, the two collided.

Everyone thought that Liu Liang’s palm would easily shatter Lin Bai’s Sword Qi, but who would have imagined that not only did Liu Liang’s palm fail to shatter the Sword Qi, it was instead slashed open by the Sword Qi, sending Liu Liang flying more than ten meters away.

"What? Liu Liang was actually repulsed by a single sword strike." Zhang Qun watched disbelievingly as Liu Liang was sent fleeing.

Ye Suxin, with widened eyes, exclaimed: "He cultivated in the Time Cultivation Tower for three months and reached this level!"

Lin Zi’er sneered at Liu Liang’s plight, completely unconcerned.

In her heart, she knew that if she wanted to kill Liu Liang, he wouldn’t last a single move in her hands.

Whereas Lin Bai failed to severely injure Liu Liang with a single sword strike, obviously falling far short of Lin Zi’er’s prowess.

"Damn it! You bastard, daring to injure me, today if I don’t capture you and skin you alive, my surname isn’t Liu!"

Liu Liang angrily looked towards the Time Cultivation Tower.

Now, Lin Bai, clad in a white robe, stepped out of the Time Cultivation Tower slowly.

Dressed in a white robe, a sharp sword in hand, his cold eyes and icy face stared at Liu Liang.

"Lin Zi’er, now we can battle!"

Lin Bai first turned to Lin Zi’er, his eyes growing even colder as he spoke.

Having taken a closer look, Lin Zi’er was momentarily startled to find that Lin Bai’s martial cultivation had broken through from the Fourth Level of the Earth Martial Realm to the Eighth Level. However, she immediately sneered: "Heh, any warrior at my level couldn’t endure more than three moves against me. And you’re even one realm lower than me. Do you think you are worthy of challenging me?"

"I remember you speaking to me in the same manner, with the same tone, back in Lingxi City. But what happened next? If I recall, you begged me for mercy like a bitch." Lin Bai replied coldly and mockingly.

Hearing Lin Bai bring up the events in Lingxi City, a hint of anger flashed across Lin Zi’er’s arrogant face. She roared: "Shut up! The events of Lingxi City won’t happen a second time. That incident is a disgrace in my life, but today I will wash it all away!"

"Hmph." Lin Bai scoffed dismissively, turning to look at Ye Suxin and Zhang Qun.

Lin Bai asked: "You two, were you sent by Su Cang to kill me?"

Ye Suxin coldly retorted: "You’re the one who got in Su Cang’s way. Don’t blame us."

Zhang Qun growled menacingly: "Lin Bai, kneel down and accept your death. There is no way you can escape."

Lin Bai sneered at Zhang Qun, saying dismissively: "I never planned to run."

Then, Lin Bai turned to look at Liu Liang’s enraged and contorted face, sneering dismissively once again:

"As for you, you’re not worthy of battling me!"

Lin Bai stared at Liu Liang and declared coldly.

"What did you say, you bastard!" Hearing these words, Liu Liang was so enraged his blood boiled, and he roared in response.

As the third-ranking disciple of the Fire Palace, and a prodigy in martial arts second only to Fire Spirit and Fire Tyrant in the Shenwu Kingdom, he was insulted by Lin Bai, who told him he was not even qualified to fight him.

"Damn it! I will make you regret this for the rest of your life!"

Liu Liang, the first to attack, was so infuriated by Lin Bai that his whole body emitted a burning sensation.

"Martial Intent! Flame Demon Heaven-burning Fist!"

Liu Liang roared loudly, the fiery aura around his body transformed into black flames, condensing onto his fist.

When this fist struck out, even Lin Zi’er and Ye Suxin changed color and retreated.

The Flame Demon Heaven-burning Fist was originally an Earth Grade 2 martial art, renowned within the Fire Palace for its terrifying power. With this technique, Liu Liang had once killed a warrior who was one realm higher than himself, making him rapidly famous within the Fire Palace.

The Flame Demon Heaven-burning Fist was already extremely powerful. At this moment, Liu Liang had displayed the Martial Intent he had just grasped, enhancing the power of the Flame Demon Heaven-burning Fist by twice as much.

This attack came amid a burning black flame that engulfed everything, turning all nearby into charred land. An overwhelming flame, capable of destroying both heaven and earth, lunged towards Lin Bai.

"Your Martial Intent is pathetically weak!"

"Let me show you, the real Martial Intent!"

"Sword Intention! Wind Calamity!"

The Sword Intention was activated, combined with the third move of the Astonishing Wind Sword Skill, Wind Calamity; both were unleashed upon Liu Liang.
