The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 375 - 374: Returning Victorious

Chapter 375: Chapter 374: Returning Victorious

"Come on!"

Lin Bai’s furious roar echoed across the sky, reverberating between heaven and earth, lingering in the air.

The roar put the gods and demons beyond the heavens in awe and terror, the heroes of the universe cowered and turned tail, and the entire army of soldiers froze on the spot!

He single-handedly fought across three thousand miles, with one sword he blocked a million soldiers!

A million-strong army, halted in their tracks.

Tuoba Feng, sitting on the dragon throne, bellowed like a madman, "Charge, charge, I order you to charge forward and kill Lin Bai!"

"Whoever kills Lin Bai will be made a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

However, no matter how much Tuoba Feng increased the reward, no matter how loudly he screamed, the million-strong army remained motionless. Instead, some people even took a few steps back.

The soldiers in this million-strong army, one by one, looked at Lin Bai with fear in their eyes, revealing deep apprehension.

"Are we going to charge or what, brothers."

"Charge where? This guy even killed Zhao Liu, do you want to get killed?"

"If you can fight, then charge, I certainly can’t beat him."

"Let me tell you, whoever charges first, will die first. Who among you will charge first?"

"I’m not charging anyway."

"I don’t want to die, my wife is still waiting for me at home... "

"If none of you are charging, then I’m definitely not."

In the midst of the million-strong army, some soldiers murmured amongst themselves.

For a moment, an air of panic and trepidation spread amongst the million-strong army.

Tuoba Feng watched this scene in utter despair. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, his orders to charge fell on deaf ears.

His military commanders, all hung their heads, remaining silent.

Though the geniuses of the Shengyue Sect were furious as they watched Lin Bai, they dared not speak out.

Tang Tianhao, witnessing this scene, helplessly shook his head and said, "Your Highness, let’s retreat. The morale of the troops has already dispersed. If the enemy army attacks later, we will suffer heavy losses."

Tuoba Feng roared, "Are we to let this bastard go so easily?"

Tang Tianhao calmly replied, "Your Highness, believe me, I want to kill this man now more than you do, but this is not the time. The grand scheme is what matters."

"Once Your Highness withdraws the troops and returns to camp, immediately mobilize all the scattered troops within the Southern Territory of Shenwu Kingdom to return. In five days, launch a full-scale attack. The Jia Yueguan stronghold will fall into our hands easily. By then, won’t Lin Bai be at your mercy?"

Tang Tianhao said in a persuasive manner.

Upon hearing Tang Tianhao’s words, Tuoba Feng narrowed his eyes, the murderous intent in them gradually fading away as he calmed down.

After a long silence, he declared, "Pass down my order, retreat back to camp!"

Tang Tianhao complied and immediately passed the order down.

Suddenly, the million-strong army that had been surrounding Jia Yueguan began to retreat, disappearing from the front of Jia Yueguan.

Lin Bai still stood before the city gate of Jia Yueguan, in the middle of the battlefield, watching the dust kicked up by the departing million-strong army, the murderous intent in his eyes never subsiding.

"We won!" Chu Jiangliu exclaimed.

"We won!"

"We won!"

"Long live us! Long live us! Long live us! Long live us!"

All the soldiers of the Shenwu Kingdom within Jia Yueguan cheered in unison.

The city gate opened, Lin Bai turned around and walked step by step into the city gate.

Behind the city gate, all the soldiers of the Shenwu Kingdom looked excitedly at Lin Bai, exclaiming, "The Prince Consort is mighty, The Prince Consort is mighty!"

"The Prince Consort is mighty!"

"The Prince Consort is mighty!"

"The Prince Consort is mighty!"

Amidst the thunderous cheers, Lin Bai walked into Jia Yueguan.

The First Princess descended from the city wall, looking at Lin Bai, and tears of excitement spilled over once again.

Lin Bai smiled, "I am here."

On hearing these words, the First Princess’s eyes turned red and filled with tears. She ran towards Lin Bai, flung herself into his arms, and broke into sobs.

At the time of her utmost despair, helplessness, and when she needed help the most, Lin Bai appeared like a savior sent from heaven, descending from the skies and sweeping the field with his unbeatable stance.

"You are the commander of the three armies, you should not be crying like this," Lin Bai whispered to the woman in his arms.

Reminded by Lin Bai, the First Princess immediately realized that there were still many people present. Feeling that she had been rude, she quickly pulled away from Lin Bai’s arms and stood beside him with a blushing face.

This demeanor of hers looked less like the commander of the three armies and more like a shy wife.

Ji Bei and Ji Bai both came forward, patting Lin Bai on the shoulder, and said excitedly, "Lin Bai, good job, you have become so powerful! It seems that your trip to the East Sea was fruitful."

Lin Bai responded with a soft smile, "Indeed I found something, and worried the elders."

Ji Bai laughed, "We were not worried about you, it was just the Second Elder who was. If we hadn’t stopped him, he would have gone overseas to look for you."

"Really?" Hearing this, Lin Bai felt warmly surprised to know the Second Elder was so concerned about him.

At this time, Prince Chu and a group of princes came over.

"Hahaha," Prince Chu extended his arms from afar and walked towards Lin Bai with a bold stride, hugging Lin Bai’s lean figure.

"Prince Consort, so mighty!" exclaimed Prince Chu, still taken over by excitement.

Lin Bai could hardly breathe due to Prince Chu’s tight grip and was only released when Prince Chu let go.

Lin Bai laughed lightly, "Did you get hurt by Tang Yuan? How serious is your injury?"

Prince Chu laughed, "Man, soldiers on the battlefield get injured all the time, it’s nothing serious."

"That’s good." Lin Bai nodded in relief.

Then, Lin Bai looked at the crowd and spotted Murong Qi, Wu Jian, Fire Spirit, and others.

Upon seeing Lin Bai, Murong Qi snorted coldly and left with a sweep of his sleeve.

Wu Jian and Fire Spirit, on the other hand, shot Lin Bai a cold, derisive smile, clearly harboring bad intentions.

"Who are these two?" Lin Bai asked.

"They... hehe, who else could they be? The unparalleled experts from the Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace, they were just disrespecting the First Princess a moment ago," said Prince Chu.

The First Princess quickly interrupted Prince Chu, "Prince Chu, shut up."

Prince Chu sighed unhappily but didn’t continue speaking.

Seeing Prince Chu’s reaction, Lin Bai judged that the First Princess must have suffered an indignity at the hands of Wu Jian and Fire Spirit. Otherwise, Prince Chu, as a subject, wouldn’t have been so angry.

"If they disrespect you, they shall die," Lin Bai said coldly, fixated on the backs of Wu Jian and Fire Spirit.

The First Princess said, "Prince Chu, prepare right away. With the return of the triumphant Prince Consort, reward the three armies, and gather together the lost morale of the past few days."

Prince Chu immediately responded in a serious tone, "Your orders, my command."

Just as the First Princess had said, now that Lin Bai had beheaded the enemy under the gate of Jia Yueguan, morale soared within Shenwu Kingdom, it was indeed a golden opportunity to regain lost spirits.

The First Princess then told Ji Bei and Ji Bai, "Elders, you have worked hard on the recent war in Jia Yueguan. Now that Lin Bai has triumphed, Tuoba Feng should not dare come easily. You can take a break."

Ji Bei said, "First Princess, don’t worry about us. Though we’ve achieved a great victory, we cannot let our guard down in case Dayue Kingdom launches a surprise attack."

Ji Bai agreed, "Ji Bei is correct, First Princess, you focus on your responsibilities while we inspect the surroundings to be prepared for emergency situations."

The First Princess said, "Thank you both, then."

Ji Bai and Ji Bei gave Lin Bai a strange smile before they left.

After bidding farewell to the warriors of the Spirit Sword Sect and Sword Alliance, Lin Bai returned to the First Princess’s side.

"Let’s go talk in the tent."

Said the First Princess.
