The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 316 - 315: Dare to Fight Me?

Chapter 316: Chapter 315: Dare to Fight Me?

Hua Qinghai and Hua Wanqing were seething with anger.

Peach Blossom Island was home to three treasures: flowers, wine, and swords, a fact well-known throughout the East Sea.

Moreover, the Peach Blossom Island’s sword skill held great fame in East Sea, hailed as a paradise for sword cultivators.

If it was disparaged by Lin Bai as being showy but not substantive, how could Hua Qinghai, Hua Wanqing, Hua Qianshu, and others not be furious?

Lin Bai had two responses, one was the truth, and the other was a falsehood.

The falsehood was: Your sword skill is average.

The truth was: Your sword skill is terrible.

Each response was more disconcerting than the last.

Lin Bai nonchalantly said, "I did say, choose one response to listen to, but you insisted on hearing both, so you can’t blame me for that. Couldn’t you have just listened to the falsehood?"

Hua Qianshu roared with rage, "How dare you, a young whelp from who knows where, speak so disparagingly of our Peach Blossom Island’s sword skill! I cannot simply let this great humiliation slide."

"Do you dare to engage in a martial arts competition with me?"

"If you lose, you will kneel and kowtow three times exclaiming that everyone on Peach Blossom Island is your superior!"

Lin Bai’s eyes suddenly flickered with a cold gleam as he coolly asked, "What if you lose?"

Hua Qianshu sneered, "How could I possibly lose! How could I, a warrior who has achieved the Heaven Martial Realm’s Fourth Layer, lose to an ant like you, who has only achieved the Heaven Martial Realm’s Second Layer?"

Lin Bai scoffed dismissively.

Su Xianmei softly smiled, "Since both of you wish to compete, how about this: if Lin Bai loses, he shall kneel and kowtow."

"And if young Master Hua Qianshu loses, we’ll let Lin Bai take a look at the divine stele on Peach Blossom Island. What do you think?"

Su Xianmei asked Hua Qinghai.

"Divine Stele!"

Hearing this, Hua Qinghai’s eyes flickered with an almost imperceptible flash of surprise.

"What divine stele?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Once, a divine stele left behind by an unknown master was found on this island, which recorded martial arts divine abilities. Later, the ancestors of the Flower Clan of Peach Blossom Island arrived here, understood the divine abilities on the stele, and from then on settled here, reproducing and thriving. That’s how today’s Peach Blossom Island came to be," Su Xianmei said casually.

The Flower Clan, as the overseers of the Treasure Pavilion in the overseas region of the East Sea.

Peach Blossom Island, the home of the Flower Clan, naturally the Treasure Pavilion would know every single matter related to the Flower Clan inside out. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have trusted the business to the Flower Clan’s management.

Thus, upon her arrival in the overseas region, Su Xianmei immediately looked into all the Flower Clan’s information, and discovered the news about the divine stele.

Originally, Su Xianmei had intended to try her luck herself. However, she hadn’t expected the second son of the Flower Clan to wager against Lin Bai. Therefore, she decided to do Lin Bai a favor. If Lin Bai could comprehend the divine stele, it would be a great opportunity for him.

Shocked to hear the news, Lin Bai exclaimed, "There’s martial intention divine techniques! That’s interesting."

While Hua Qinghai was still hesitating.

But Hua Qianshu could not wait any longer, he stated, "Father, let’s accept the challenge. After all, there’s a restrictive spell on the divine stele that only very few rare sword art prodigies can see the divine stele’s characterization."

"Moreover, I won’t lose."

As Hua Qianshu unsheathed his sword, his battle spirit surged and he glared at Lin Bai with fiery eyes.

Hua Qinghai said indifferently, "Fine, let’s decide it this way then since the Envoy said so. If Qianshu loses, I will let your younger brother visit the divine stele."

Su Xianmei smiled and said, "Good, a word is a bond."

Seeing that both sides had consented, Hua Qianshu leaped into the open, pointing his sword at Lin Bai, "You wretched thing, come out and face your death! Feel the might of the Peach Blossom Island’s sword skill."

"Once I’ve flayed the skin from your body bit by bit, let’s see if you still dare to say our Peach Blossom Island’s sword skill is all flash and no substance!"

Hua Qianshu bellowed again and again angrily.

Lin Bai rose from his seat with a cold smile on his face, he then exited the pavilion.

Just as Lin Bai was about to draw his Qingge Sword, he heard Su Xianmei: "Younger brother, don’t kill."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai nodded reluctantly: "All right, if Sister Su says ’no killing,’ then I guess I won’t draw my sword."

With a flick of his hand, he used his True Qi to break off a branch from a nearby peach blossom tree, held it in his hand, and faced Hua Qianshu.

Hua Qianshu was furious once again, howling, "You dare not to draw your sword! You think you can beat me without a sword? So arrogant!"

"Enough talk, come on. Given your flowery sword skill, there’s no need for me to draw my sword," Lin Bai retorted irritably.

"You’re courting death!"

Hua Qianshu, hearing Lin Bai’s words, promptly lost his patience.

The Earth Grade 7 Peach Blossom Sword Skill was launched, creating a wild wind that swept up countless flower petals across the sky, shadows blinking within, a scene very pleasing to the eye.

"Traceless Falling Flower!"

Hua Qianshu charged with his sword, the blade tearing through layers of flower petals, carrying an unstoppable sharp energy, heading straight for Lin Bai’s face.

"Your sword strike should kill your opponent, but it has no follow-up. It’s truly a failure!" Lin Bai slightly sidestepped, directly avoiding Hua Qianshu’s sword strike while leaving it to fall into empty space.

To his shock, Hua Qianshu was greatly enraged. He lashed out with another sword strike, "Blood Autumn Without Mercy!"

Whoosh——

The movement of the sword was filled with killing intent, the sword’s edge cold and bone-chilling, as if it were made of ten thousand years old ice.

The sword qi burst into the sky, shattering all flowers under heaven!

"This move is powerful enough, but it’s way too slow."

Lin Bai gave a slight smile, directly and easily avoiding this sword strike again.

Having his two consecutive sword strikes dodged so effortlessly by Lin Bai, not only was Hua Qianshu caught off guard,

Hua Qinghai, Hua Wanqing, and Liu Beixing were also taken aback.

"Damn it! Damn it! Will you dare to fight me face-to-face and stop dodging? What kind of sword cultivator are you!" Hua Qianshu, agitated and frustrated, shouted at Lin Bai.

"Fine then." Lin Bai shook his head helplessly.

Instead of dodging, Lin Bai stood in front of Hua Qianshu.

Seizing the opportunity, Hua Qianshu charged forth with his sword, his sweeping sword force erupted, "A Thousand Miles Flowering!"

"What’s this? Your sword is ’flying’ the wrong way." Upon hearing the name of Hua Qianshu’s sword strike, Lin Bai laughed.

Upon hearing these words, Hua Qianshu almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"If that’s the case, let’s stop playing."

Lin Bai shook the peach blossom twig in his hand, took a step forward, and struck down like lightning.

With a smack!

The peach blossom twig in Lin Bai’s hand turned into an unstoppable sharp sword, carrying a sweeping force across the world, striking the wrist of Hua Qianshu.

Ah!

Hua Qianshu screamed, his sword-holding right hand was filled with intense pain, causing him to lose his grip on the sword, dropping it directly onto the ground.

Hua Qianshu retracted his hand, noticing a two-finger wide purple and blue colored bloody scar on his wrist.

"I’ve won."

Lin Bai turned to Su Xianmei and smiled.

Su Xianmei smiled and nodded, her smile was extremely captivating and attractive.

Su Xianmei was never worried about Lin Bai losing the contest, because she knew that Lin Bai, while at the Heaven Martial Realm First Layer, had once killed Yi Han of the Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer within Chaoyang Palace. Now that he had advanced to the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer, fighting a Fourth Layer martial warrior would naturally be very easy for him.

In this way, it was equivalent to Su Xianmei and Lin Bai jointly plotting against Peach Blossom Island.

"I didn’t lose. I am still standing. I haven’t fallen. I haven’t lost! I can fight again. I want to continue fighting with you."

"Me, the Young Island Owner of the Great Peach Blossom Island, how could I lose to a waste like you!" Hua Qianshu roared.

Immediately, Hua Qianshu picked up his sword, aiming at Lin Bai’s back, and madly charged.

Seeing this, Su Xianmei’s face changed slightly, and she seemed somewhat annoyed.

Meanwhile, Hua Qinghai and Hua Wanqing, although they had seen what Hua Qianshu was doing, didn’t stop him.

Hum!

A murderous intent surged from Lin Bai’s back.

Seemingly annoyed, Lin Bai abruptly turned around and used his Peach Blossom twig to cut down once again, sending Hua Qianshu’s sword flying out.

Pointing at Hua Qianshu with his Peach Blossom twig, Lin Bai said coldly, "With that last strike, if I was using a real sword, you would have lost your palm by now."

"Since you said you haven’t lost, I will make you concede defeat with both your heart and words!"

A cold light gleamed in Lin Bai’s eyes.
