The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 380 - 379: Zhan Ying’s Rebellion!

Chapter 380: Chapter 379: Zhan Ying’s Rebellion!

With a stroke of Wind-Slaying, it burst forth and struck.

First, it shattered the formidable attacks of the two, then heavily collided with Wu Jian’s chest.

Squelch-

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Wu Jian’s mouth, his body helplessly flew backward out of the commander’s tent, falling outside, bleeding profusely, wailing in agony.

"Brother Wu Jian." Fire Spirit exclaimed in shock.

Almost unbelievable was Fire Spirit, blooming with dismay, his combined attack with Wu Jian - possessing a force powerful enough to crush the strength of Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer - was easily shattered with a simple sword from Lin Bai.

As Fire Spirit looked on in awe, Lin Bai coldly said, "As a talented warrior of Fire Palace, you willingly debase yourself to be someone’s lackey. The Fire Palace’s downfall is imminent."

"You can get out of here too."

With a swift kick to Fire Spirit’s chest, Lin Bai sent him flying, he landed next to Wu Jian, vomiting blood, continuously wailing in agony.

Murong Qi jumped up from his seat and hurried out to examine the injuries of Wu Jian and Fire Spirit.

Even though Wu Jian and Fire Spirit were gravely injured, Lin Bai did not aim to kill, thus they were not immediately fatally wounded.

Lin Bai was also aware that a great battle was imminent, to behead a general before a war would be an ill omen.

Murong Qi, with a gloomy face, said, "Princess Chang, are we from Canghai Yuntai Palace supposed to be treated like this when we came to assist the royal family out of goodwill?"

"Prince Consort, bullying people with your power like this has truly disappointed us at Canghai Yuntai Palace!"

Lin Bai sneered, "Humph, you put it eloquently. Just now on the battleground, while the Sacred Moon Sect of Dayue Kingdom was being so domineering, why did none of you warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace step up?"

"Instead, I stepped onto the battlefield and what I saw were numerous corpses, and the majority were disciples from my Spirit Sword Sect."

"Not a single one of you from Canghai Yuntai Palace even tread on the battlefield!"

When Lin Bai was on the battlefield, he didn’t see a single warrior from Canghai Yuntai Palace.. Instead, over a dozen disciples from the Spirit Sword Sect were dead on the battlefield; and among them were several core members of the Sword Alliance.

"Even now, as your warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace arrive to discuss this matter, all they say is ’peace, peace, peace’. Damn your ’peace’. People are practically shitting on your ancestral graves, and you’re still talking about peace."

Lin Bai spoke furiously.

At Lin Bai’s words, Murong Qi’s face filled with embarrassment."

Indeed, as Lin Bai said, in the face of the challenges from the Dayue Kingdom and the Sacred Moon Sect in the last few days, not one of Canghai Yuntai Palace’s disciples had stepped up."

As for Wu Jian and Fire Spirit, they were even worse, sitting back and taking advantage of the chaos; taking the opportunity to rob the First Princess and demand repugnant conditions."

Murong Qi, full of anger, said: "So, according to Prince Consort’s words, it seems there is no point in us from Canghai Yuntai Palace being here?"

Lin Bai said, "If you have come to contribute, we naturally welcome you. But if you are here to pick a fight, I am always ready to accompany you."

"Don’t presume yourself to be so extraordinary, who do you think you’re impressing?"

"Are the warriors of Canghai Yuntai Palace so great? Do they always have to look down on us wherever they go? Humph."

Murong Qi roared in anger, "Well, we from Canghai Yuntai Palace would like to see how Shenwu Kingdom is going to win this war without our help!"

Lin Bai retorted coldly, "Just watch and see. Even without you, we can still win."

Murong Qi sneered, "Everyone can talk big, but do you dare to bet, Prince Consort?"

Lin Bai asked, "Bet what?"

Murong Qi laughed coldly, "Bet your head. If you still cannot eradicate the army of Dayue Kingdom within a month, you lose. On the other hand, if you can eliminate the team of Dayue Kingdom within a month, I lose, and I will give my head to you."

"How about that?"

Lin Bai laughed scornfully, "I don’t need a month, but just ten days, and Dayue Kingdom will definitely retreat!"

Murong Qi laughed madly, "Agreed!"

"Agreed." Lin Bai coldly replied.

"Hmph, just wait to die." Murong Qi, having stormed out of the commander’s tent with Wu Jian to seek medical help.

Subsequently, the other warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace also left immediately.

"Hmph, the royal family certainly has grown bold. Without our help from Canghai Sky Palace, I’d like to see how you will win this war."

"Exactly, Prince Consort, you have doomed the entire Shenwu Kingdom!"

"We’re waiting for the day when you will come begging us for help!"

"If the royal family wants our Canghai Yuntai Palace to lend a hand in the future, Bai Huatian must kowtow for three days in the Canghai Yuntai Palace before we will help."

"Hmph."

The warriors of Canghai Yuntai Palace, before their departure, were all fuming.

After the group of warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace and the Fire Palace had left.

Princess Chang finally asked, "Lin Bai, do you have a good strategy?"

Lin Bai shook his head, "No, but I do know that if within ten days the reinforcements from the imperial capital do not arrive at Jia Yueguan, Jia Yueguan will not hold. When that happens, we are all going to die."

Princess Chang’s face darkened.

At that moment, Ji Bei and Ji Bai were both deeply contemplating a plan.

A soldier came into the commander’s tent at just the right moment, covered in blood and hurriedly reported, "Your Excellency, we followed Prince Chu to catch Zhan Ying, but he was all prepared. When we arrived, Zhan Ying led the Qi Family Army and burst out of Jia Yueguan."

"As such, the city gate is open, and the army of Dayue Kingdom from outside the city has already gathered."

The soldier reported anxiously.

"What!" Lin Bai, Ji Bei, and Ji Bai all screamed in shock.

Lin Bai had anticipated Zhan Ying and Qi Wangfu would betray, but he didn’t expect it to be this soon!

"I am a step too late. It seems that Zhan Ying has long been prepared to open the city gates soon." Lin Bai clenched his teeth, filled with unbearable rage.

Princess Chang ordered, "Send a message to all the soldiers in Jia Yueguan and tell them to go to the city gate. They must hold it!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers loudly agreed in unison, promptly leaving the commander’s tent.

"I will also go. Princess Chang, right now you must not act rashly, keep control the army to ensure a quick response. Elder Ji Bei, Elder Ji Bai, please ensure Princess Chang’s safety."

"If the army of Dayue Kingdom breaks into Jia Yueguan, their first target will certainly be Princess Chang."

"Once Princess Chang falls, Jia Yueguan is truly indefensible."

Lin Bai said.

Ji Bei and Ji Bai also understood this principle. The idea being to capture their enemies, Starting from the King/leader; once Princess Chang dies, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Jia Yueguan, left headless, will certainly be slaughtered by the army of Dayue Kingdom instantaneously.

"Leave it to us." With solemn nods of agreement, Ji Bei, and Ji Bai reassured Lin Bai.

With that, Lin Bai turned around and walked out of the commander’s tent.

Princess Chang quietly said, "Lin Bai, be careful!"

Lin Bai was already a hundred meters away by the time he heard Princess Chang’s voice.

He sped off, heading towards the city gate of Jia Yueguan at his fastest pace.
