The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 447 - 446: Space Breaking Stab

Chapter 447: Chapter 446: Space Breaking Stab

Upon hearing this, Su Cang and a group of masters from the Divine Alliance instantly sneered in ridicule. "Hehe, we haven’t even gone to find him yet, but he is courting death himself. This saves us the trouble," they mocked.

"Who among you will collect Lin Bai’s head?"

Su Cang asked with a pleased expression on his face, devoid of any pre-battle tension, and not paying any attention to Lin Bai.

Qu Feng sneered, "Heh, a mere ant from the Sword Alliance at the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer, it is impressive that he could get this far."

"What should we do with him? Any one of us could kill him with a single punch," Long Xiangtian chuckled.

"We just need to toy with him, don’t take it too seriously," put forth Yin Jiaju.

Lin Bai heard the ridicule of the geniuses of the Divine Alliance and coldly said, "I would advise all of you. Warriors below Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer better not throw their lives away! Those above the Ninth Layer, can at least put up a fight!"

Hiss!

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, all the warriors present gasped.

They were absolutely flabbergasted looking at Lin Bai!

What the hell?

You, a warrior at the Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer, have the audacity to belittle warriors at the Seventh and Eighth Layers of the Heaven Martial Realm?

You demand warriors at the Ninth Layer to challenge you right off the bat?

That’s way too arrogant!

Su Cang coldly declared, "Lin Bai, don’t be too pleased with yourself. The Elder in the Martial God Tower was unknowingly vicious by you. He was deliberately lenient and thus was struck down by you. Otherwise, how could you ever be a match for the Tower-keeping Elder!"

Lin Bai retorted disdainfully, "Whatever, Su Cang, you don’t find your statement laughable? Are you clueless as to whether the Tower-keeping Elder was lenient or not?"

Su Cang’s face was grim.

Although these Tower-keeping Elders were loyal to the Divine Alliance,

He couldn’t be sure if they were deliberately lenient out of fear of the Second Elder, knowing Lin Bai was a genius favored by Second Elder, to avoid angering the Second Elder.

It’s definitely a possibility!

After all, Su Cang didn’t have complete control over the Elder Pavilion.

"Young Sect Master, why waste words on him!"

"He claimed warriors below the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer are not worthy of him, let me prove him wrong!"

"Since none of you are attacking, I will."

At that moment, a young man leaped out from the Divine Alliance camp, his face filled with a mocking smile, standing on the martial arts stage.

Everyone looked in surprise and instantly exclaimed, "Top ten in the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking, Luo Qixiao, Heaven Martial Realm Seventh Layer!"

"It’s over, it’s starting."

"As expected, the Divine Alliance’s only target is Lin Bai."

The warriors exclaimed.

Seeing Luo Qixiao on stage, the warriors from the Sword Alliance were worried for Lin Bai.

"Lin Bai, be careful."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, remember to be careful. Safety first."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, you can do it!"

A bunch of warriors from the Sword Alliance all looked at Lin Bai, offering advice and cheer.

The Second Elder, Ji Bei, and Ji Bai were all anxiously watching Lin Bai.

Lin Bai glanced at Luo Qixiao, took out nine Pass Tokens from his storage bag, and said, "I kindly advised you not to throw your life away. If you insist on doing so, don’t blame me for being heartless!"

"I bet the nine Pass Tokens."

Luo Qixiao coldly said, "Going all in from the start, you must realize you won’t be able to escape alive from my grasp. You’re hoping for a last-ditch effort in a desperate situation? Hahaha."

"Very well, as you wish."

"Nine Tokens, it is."

Luo Qixiao also took out nine tokens and handed them to the Grand Elder.

The Grand Elder announced, "The betting stakes are set. Let the competition begin."

Having said that, the Grand Elder jumped off the martial arts stage, leaving the entire kilometer-sized stage completely for Luo Qixiao and Lin Bai.

Before he left, the Grand Elder glanced at Luo Qixiao and chuckled, "Kill him."

With a smile, Luo Qixiao responded, "I will not disappoint you, Grand Elder."

Lin Bai silently watched the Grand Elder and Luo Qixiao, catching their quiet conversation.

Lin Bai curiously looked at Luo Qixiao, a sneer of disdain echoing in his heart, "Kill me? With your level of cultivation, I don’t even need to draw my sword to easily defeat you."

Once the Grand Elder had departed, a chill flashed through Luo’s eyes. He slowly pulled out a Fourth-grade Spirit Weapon from his storage bag and coldly chuckled at Lin Bai, "Lin Bai, you still have time to kneel and beg for mercy."

Lin Bai replied irritably, "Why do you talk so much crap? Either make a move or get lost and get back to your milk. You certainly love to hear yourself talk."

"You’re courting death!"

Luo Qixiao was furious all at once. He spread out his swordplay, swinging his sword frenziedly, aiming at Lin Bai and ripping through his defenses.

With Luo Qixiao’s cultivation at the seventh layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, he was considered quite a talented young individual among the Spirit Sword Sect’s disciples of his generation, and was one of the potential candidates for being promoted to a core martial artist this year.

Therefore, Luo Qixiao attached great importance to this martial arts competition.

After all, this was not just a test for a martial artist’s strength, but also, the person with the most pass tokens would emerge among the top nine and would be promoted to the eclectic core martial artists group.

So, in the eyes of the Divine Alliance, Lin Bai was clearly a vulnerable contender perfect for scoring easy points.

Observing Luo Qixiao taking the stage first, Hua Wei was noticeably regretful: "What a pity, Luo Qixiao beat me to it. Otherwise, those nine tokens of Lin Bai should have been mine."

Jiao Xukun also remarked coldly, "Yeah, I got distracted for just a moment and Luo Qixiao took the opportunity. Damn, the nine tokens that Lin Bai generously handed out are all his now."

Su Cang and a few others were watching with great interest as the fight unfolded on the martial arts stage above.

On the martial arts stage,

Swordlight reached the heavens, and Sword Qi touched the clouds.

Luo Qixiao’s sword skill was as ferocious as a flood dragon launching from waters. A sword pierced through the void with chilling light, causing an explosion in the air, projecting a fearsome force approaching Lin Bai.

"It’s the Space Breaking Stab!"

"One of the thirty-six Earth Grade 8 Sword Skills of the Spirit Sword Sect, the Space Breaking Stab!"

"This sword is extraordinary. Even if an Eighth Layer Heaven Martial Realm warrior mishandles it, Luo Qixiao’s sword could seriously wound him."

The audience recognized Luo Qixiao’s sword technique and began to shout in surprise.

"A Space Breaking Stab, huh?"

Upon seeing the power behind this impending stab, Lin Bai’s eyes showed some curiosity.

The Space Breaking Stab was one of the 36 Earth Grade 8 techniques within the Spirit Sword Sect.

When Jian Xuan had escaped from the Spirit Sword Sect, he had taken most of the Sword Skills, including many Earth Grade 9 and Heaven Level First Grade techniques.

So, within the Spirit Sword Sect, Earth Grade 8 techniques were now rare, numbered only at thirty-six.

"Hmph, since you recognize this technique, you might as well kneel and beg for mercy now, Lin Bai!" Seeing Lin Bai’s expression, Luo Qixiao assumed Lin Bai was scared and sneered.

"Heh, this is just an Earth Grade 8 technique. What is there to fear?"

"Watch me destroy your technique with just one punch!"

Lin Bai smirked.

"Courting death!"

The mocking laughter from Lin Bai enraged Luo Qixiao further. The sword light thrust forward speedily, aiming to puncture through the void, its trajectory unstoppable!

The sword force crashed into Lin Bai, as if dumping a large mountain on him.

"Tyrant Dragon Fist!"

Lin Bai’s body blasted with True Qi. The Dantian Qi within his body exploded outwards, leading to a divine aura descending.

The dominating aura emanating from Lin Bai was as if a deity had arrived.

Lin Bai’s eyes slightly closed, the killing intent obvious. The moment Luo Qixiao’s sword got near, a fist was launched, shaking the heavens and killing all in its path.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth-shaking roared echoed across.

The Fist radiance collided with Sword Qi, immediately stirring up a terrifying storm covering the entire martial competition stage.

Splat!

Before the storm could dissipate, a body flew out like a kite with a severed string, crashing heavily down on the martial arts stage.

He was covered in blood, with disheveled hair and blood pouring from the seven apertures of his head.

He hadn’t died, but had lost his ability to fight.

"My goodness, he’s so strong!"

"Lin Bai’s technique is simply against the heavens!"

"What kind of fist technique is this?"

All the warriors who felt the domineering Qi exploding from Lin Bai were deeply shocked.

The Second Elder blandly said, "Ji Bei, Ji Bai, it appears Lin Bai’s technique might be at the level of Heaven-level martial arts, right?"

Ji Bei casually replied, "That’s correct, this technique he used should be the Tyrant Dragon Fist, the Shengyue Sect’s signature skill in the Dayue Kingdom. It can’t be practiced unless one is a monstrous genius from the Shengyue Sect."

Of course, Ji Bei had recognized immediately that this was indeed the Tyrant Dragon Fist. He had once seen the duel between Lin Bai and Tang Yuan in the Southern Region, and at that time, he had been shocked by the power of the Tyrant Dragon Fist.

But who would have thought, due to an extraordinary coincidence, this skill of the Shengyue Sect had ended up with Lin Bai.

"Tyrant Dragon Fist!" Upon hearing this name, the Second Elder also remembered it.

Back then, when the Shengyue Sect obtained the incomplete copy of the Tyrant Dragon Fist, they hosted a banquet and invited all the major influences. At that time, the Second Elder was a young martial artist and he followed the Elder of the Spirit Sword Sect to attend. He had observed the Tyrant Dragon Fist at the Shengyue Sect.

But this happened over a hundred years ago, and if not for Ji Bei’s reminder, the Second Elder would never have recalled that the technique Lin Bai was now using was the same Tyrant Dragon Fist he saw over a hundred years before!
