The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 408 - 407: Martial Arts Competition Negotiation (Part 40)

Chapter 408: Chapter 407: Martial Arts Competition Negotiation (Part 40)

Above the northern sky, an elder and a youth stood on a white crane, watching Lin Bai.

The elder nodded slightly, saying, "This warrior called Lin Bai is quite good, both brave and strategic."

Upon hearing the elder’s praise for Lin Bai, the younger man scoffed, "I admit he shows some bravery, but as for strategy, I don’t see it."

The old man smiled and said, "You’re excellent in many ways, but your self-confidence has reached the point of arrogance. Even when I say Lin Bai is brave and strategic, you still don’t believe it."

"So, let me ask you a question, do you know why Lin Bai just kidnapped Consort Yun and not the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom?"

The elder asked with a smile.

The young man furrowed his brow in thought for a moment before quietly shaking his head.

Indeed, wouldn’t Lin Bai have more control over the Dayue Kingdom’s troops if he took the emperor captive?

The old man chuckled, "That’s Lin Bai’s strategy. He knows that the Second Prince of the Dayue Kingdom and the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom are at odds."

"If he captured the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, Tuoba Feng might decide to fight Lin Bai to the death."

"Then Tuoba Feng would relentlessly hunt Lin Bai and, in desperation, Lin Bai might end up killing the Dayue Kingdom’s emperor. If that happened, Tuoba Feng would return victorious, leaving a power vacuum in Dayue Kingdom. As Tuoba Feng would control the entire military, who else besides him would dare to assume the throne?"

"Therefore, Lin Bai did not kidnap the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, instead choosing the emperor’s favored consort, as a means to put pressure on Tuoba Feng. As long as the emperor remained alive, Tuoba Feng would not dare to act rashly."

"That’s strategy!"

The elder declared with a chuckle.

The young man nodded in sudden realization. Having heard the elder’s explanation, he took a second glance at Lin Bai.

However, his gaze then fell upon the First Princess in the crowd and a trace of tenderness appeared on his otherwise expressionless face.

The elder noticed the young man’s actions and, following his gaze, smiled faintly.

All the soldiers from the Dayue Kingdom who had entered Jia Yueguan retreated and lined up outside.

Tuoba Feng shouted at Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, the City-Destroying Cannon Legion and the Black Moon Legion have all left Jia Yueguan. You should return Consort Yun to us now."

Lin Bai sneered, "Do you think I’m a fool? If I return Consort Yun to you now, what if you turn around and attack immediately?"

"You needn’t worry, I have no interest in this woman."

"Once the city walls of Jia Yueguan and Nanning Pass are restored, I will naturally return Consort Yun back to you. Until then, Consort Yun will stay in Shenwu Kingdom."

The Emperor of Dayue Kingdom anxiously shouted, "No, that can’t happen. Consort Yun must leave with me today. Lin Bai, I’ll give you anything you want."

"Even if you want me to make you the emperor of the Dayue Kingdom, just return Consort Yun to me!"

"As long as you return Consort Yun to me, I’ll give you the kingdom."

The Emperor of Dayue Kingdom pleaded urgently with Lin Bai.

Breathtaking!

Everyone was taken aback when they heard what the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom had said.

Especially Tuoba Feng, who stared dumbfounded at the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom saying, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Our Tuoba domain cannot tolerate any outside infringement!"

The Emperor of Dayue Kingdom furiously rebuked Tuoba Feng, "As long as Consort Yun is safe, everything else means nothing."

Tuoba Feng, burning with anger, looked at the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Lin Bai, looking at Consort Yun, laughed, "I didn’t expect you to be so captivating that you’ve made this old man lose his senses to the point of giving up his kingdom."

Consort Yun glared at Lin Bai, and said venomously, "You’re the only madman in this world, devoid of basic human decency and unappreciative of romance. People like you are destined to be lonely all their lives."

Lin Bai simply smiled dismissively.

At that moment,

Tuoba Feng also started to worry, the kingdom being given to Lin Bai would leave him with nothing.

So, Tuoba Feng shouted at Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, I challenge you to a martial duel to negotiate terms!"

Lin Bai sneered, "Okay, what are the negotiation terms?"

Tuoba Feng coldly said, "If I win, you surrender the southern region of Shenwu Kingdom and Consort Yun, if you win, the Dayue Kingdom will immediately withdraw the troops and guarantee no invasion for the next ten years."

"How about that?"

Tuoba Feng asked coldly.

"It’s quite ridiculous. Have you forgotten? That day on the battlefield, with my sword crossed through the air, I seriously injured you from a distance of a kilometer. Do you think you are my match?" Lin Bai asked coldly with a laugh.

"Heh, that day was nothing but my carelessness, your ambush was successful. I, the Little King inside the Dayue Kingdom, rank only second to the King of Sheng Yue, if we were to fight to the death, it is still unknown who would win and who would lose!"

Tuoba Feng coldly laughed and said.

"What? You dare not?"

Tuoba Feng asked coldly with a laugh.

Laughing in contempt, Lin Bai said, "What is there for me to fear! I come and go freely in your Dayue Kingdom’s Imperial Palace, shall I still fear you? But in such a bet, what if I win and your Dayue Kingdom becomes heartless?"

This was Lin Bai’s only question.

What if Lin Bai won and The Dayue Kingdom didn’t abide by the bet?

In the end, it would still result in the same outcome.

"Then, let me be the witness."

Just at this moment, over the northern sky, a white crane flew out and landed on the city wall.

An old man and a young man got off the crane.

The elder had a kind and amiable smile.

The young man had no expression on his face, his eyes were dull, and there was an undeniable aura of arrogance between his brows.

"Who are you?" Lin Bai asked in confusion.

Laughing lightly, the old man replied, "I know you. You are Lin Bai. As for me, I am Diao Cheng, an elder from the Miracle Ridge, and this is Wu Song, our young warrior!"

The old man said these words with a light laugh.

Hiss!

The entire crowd of warriors looked at the old man and the youth as though they were petrified.

Surprise and admiration were evident in their eyes.

Especially that young man noted the admiring gazes from the multitude of people on him, and a smile couldn’t help but form at the corner of his mouth.

The corner of his eyes glanced at the First Princess, seeing that she was also looking at him in surprise, the young man felt even more proud.

Diao Cheng laughed and said, "Dayue Kingdom, do I qualify to act as a witness?"

Both the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom and Tuoba Feng looked at Diao Cheng in surprise and said deferentially, "As Elder Diao Cheng comes from the Miracle Ridge, he certainly qualifies as a witness."

With a slight smile, Diao Cheng turned to Lin Bai and asked, "Lin Bai, do you still have any doubts, with me acting as a witness?"

After pondering for a long time, Lin Bai asked, "What if I win, and the Dayue Kingdom does not abide by the bet?"

Diao Cheng laughed, "Then, as the Miracle Ridge, we will step in, and in a day, flatten the Dayue Kingdom!"

Hiss!

Listened to Diao Cheng’s casual words, Lin Bai’s eyes widened in surprise.

Flatten the Dayue Kingdom within a day!

How strong does one have to be to dare to say such imposing words!

"Since Elder Diao Cheng is willing to act as a witness, I, the junior, am willing to fight!" Lin Bai gave a slight nod.
