The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 260 - 259: Escaping to a New Life

Chapter 260: Chapter 259: Escaping to a New Life

Blood splattered towards the sky, and a hundred bodies fell to the ground with a thud.

His!

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Jiangliu, Qi Fang, and all the princes and princesses were dumbfounded.

In that instant, Lin Bai’s face turned cold. His speed was lightning-fast, transforming into a gale that swept across the field and cornered Qi Fang.

Qi Fang, pale with fear, retreated rapidly.

"Protect me, protect me!"

Qi Fang hurriedly shouted to the soldiers beside him.

Bang——

Just as Qi Fang was shouting in panic, an icy cold sword blade rested on his neck, and an even colder voice followed, "No one can protect you now."

Qi Fang was sweaty, his eyes shifted slightly, and he saw Lin Bai was standing behind him. The Qingge Sword was emitting an endless cold light, as if the cold air was about to freeze the blood in his body.

"What do you want to do!" Qi Fang asked coldly.

"You want the antidote for the Sealing Spirit Powder from me, dream on, I tell you, it’s never going to happen!"

"Even if I die, I won’t give it to you."

Qi Fang said viciously.

Lin Bai smiled, "I didn’t expect you to give it to me, I’m going to take it myself."

His——

Upon hearing this, Qi Fang trembled, and just when he was about to fight for his life, he felt a heavy palm slam into his head, the force of it split open his skull like a chisel.

"Soul Searching!"

The icy voice of Lin Bai followed.

"Ah!"

Qi Fang’s horrifying scream echoed.

Chu Jiangliu was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what Lin Bai was doing.

Not only Chu Jiangliu, the other princes and princesses were also perplexed as they watched Lin Bai.

What was he doing?

When Lin Bai subdued Qi Fang, wasn’t he supposed to torture him and get the antidote for the Sealing Spirit Powder?

"Brother Lin Bai, quickly make him hand over the antidote to the Sealing Spirit Powder."

Chu Jiangliu shouted anxiously.

"Yeah, Brother Lin Bai, hurry."

"Hurry."

The princes and princesses all cried out in desperation.

Thump——

Lin Bai let go, and Qi Fang collapsed feebly onto the ground, convulsing. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was filled with terror.

"You didn’t die." Lin Bai looked at Qi Fang in surprise.

Qi Fang didn’t die or even faint after Lin Bai performed Soul Searching.

This made Lin Bai have to respect the resilience of a soldier. It was incredibly strong.

Especially for someone like Qi Fang who held the position of a commander, ordinary torture wasn’t enough to destroy his martial spirit.

"What... What did you do to me!" Qi Fang asked furiously.

"Nothing much, I just looked at your memories. I didn’t expect you to be such a beast, trying to manipulate girls under thirteen. You deserve to die!" Lin Bai glared angrily at Qi Fang.

While searching Qi Fang’s memories, Lin Bai not only found the antidote for the Sealing Spirit Powder but also some of Qi Fang’s unsavoury habits.

Those habits filled Lin Bai with burning anger.

Puff——

Lin Bai spoke, lifted his sharp sword, and separated Qi Fang’s head from his body.

"Commander Qi Fang!"

"Commander ..."

"Boss!"

The soldiers looked at Qi Fang’s head decapitated by Lin Bai. Their faces were full of shock.

Yi Han regained his senses at this time, scanned the surroundings, and realized that he was the only warrior survived from the Canghai Yuntai Palace. He gritted his teeth and roared, "Lin Bai, I will come back for revenge."

After he finished speaking, Yi Han took advantage of the soldiers being shocked by Qi Fang’s death to cut a bloody path and dashed away.

Lin Bai did not pay attention to Yi Han’s departure; he waved his hand and grabbed Qi Fang’s storage bag.

"The commander is dead, but our mission is not yet completed."

"Brothers, our mission was to defend the dungeon. Although the commander is dead, we must still stand our ground."

"Kill him, defend the dungeon, avenge the commander!"

"Avenge the Commander!"

Among the soldiers, an unknown voice shouted out.

These soldiers, bereft of a leader, once again gathered their fighting spirit and charged towards Lin Bai.

Chu Jiangliu’s face was anxious, "Brother Lin Bai, have you found the antidote?"

"I have." Lin Bai took a small vial from Qi Fang’s storage bag.

According to Qi Fang’s memory, this small vial contained the antidote to the Sealing Spirit Powder.

"Give it to us quickly." Chu Jiangliu called out excitedly.

Lin Bai leapt onto the top of the iron cage and handed the vial to Chu Jiangliu.

This vial contained more than a thousand antidotes, enough to neutralize the poison in the princes and princesses.

After taking the antidote, a light gradually illuminated Chu Jiangliu’s dimmed eyes, and a force belonging to the Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer exploded from his body.

The sudden burst of energy shattered the iron cage.

"Hahaha, come on! I’ll fight you!"

Having regained his cultivation, Chu Jiangliu leapt down and plunged into the chaotic battle.

Afterward, Lin Bai went on to administer the antidote to all the other princes and princesses.

It took about a quarter of an hour, but Lin Bai managed to cure all the princes and princesses of their poisoning, restoring their True Qi.

"Brothers, charge!"

Chu Jiangliu raised his sword high, his body bloodied, and roared passionately.

Many of these princes had seen battle before and their blood boiled hot. Chu Jiangliu’s cry raised their spirits high, and they swiftly charged out of the dungeon with him.

Among these princes, Chu Jiangliu had the highest level of cultivation, and with the extensive military resources of the Chu Royal Mansion, he was a rare powerful figure among the princes and kings.

As a result, despite Lin Bai’s life-saving help, they listened most closely to Chu Jiangliu.

After all, even though Lin Bai was strong, he was only a disciple of a martial arts sect.

As for Chu Jiangliu, he was not only a prince but also a hero of the battlefield.

The combined efforts of more than six hundred princes and princesses forced the elite Qi Family Army to retreat.

Lin Bai also took action and killed some of the Qi Family Army, but after that, he stopped fighting.

After all, this was a struggle for imperial supremacy, and Lin Bai was a martial artist.

An hour of bloody battle ensued.

The army consisting of princes and princesses fought their way out of the dungeon and beyond the passageway.

Thud—

The last soldier of the Qi Family Army fell under Chu Jiangliu’s sword.

Chu Jiangliu, covered in blood, his hair disheveled and his eyes weary, looked up at the slowly setting sun and a smile spread across his face:

"I’m still alive!"

Chu Jiangliu cried out excitingly.

"I’m still alive, I’m still alive."

"We’re still alive!"

"We’re still alive!!"

The princes and the princesses also began to excitedly cry out.

Lin Bai slowly followed the princes out of the passageway, once again seeing the light of day.

Lin Bai also understood their emotions.

As a man, there is nothing more joyous than surviving a calamity.

As a soldier, there is nothing more gratifying than a victorious battle.

The released princes embraced each other in celebration.

The princesses covered their faces and wept.

This battle of life and death, like a crucible, had bonded these formerly frivolous princes and princesses together.

Lin Bai watched their joyous selves and murmured, "After this battle, these six hundred princes and princesses are likely to become as close as family; the bonds between their respective mansions will only get stronger."

"And this favor, they will forever remember it as a debt to the First Princess."

After much cheering and celebration, Chu Jiangliu approached Lin Bai and said solemnly, "Brother Lin Bai, I, Chu Jiangliu am a straightforward man, not good at expressing gratitude. But in one sentence, I can’t thank you enough! If you ever need the assistance of the Chu Royal Mansion, don’t hesitate to come to me!"

"Brother Lin Bai, if you ever need assistance in the Imperial Capital in the future, consider the Lin Royal Mansion."

"Brother Lin Bai, the Twin Swords Royal Mansion is also the same, if you ever need help, don’t hesitate to come to us."
