The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 449 - 448: Cai Xuan!

Chapter 449: Chapter 448: Cai Xuan!

Two consecutive losses had severely dampened the morale of the Divine Alliance.

"How is this possible? Our invincible Divine Alliance has actually lost two battles in a row!"

"Yes, what on earth is going on? Have Senior Brother Luo Qixiao and Senior Brother Hua Wei’s cultivation levels depreciated so rapidly that they cannot even handle a Lin Bai?"

The warriors of the Divine Alliance looked bewildered as they spoke to the masters of the Alliance.

"Good defeat!"

"Well done, Lin Bai! Those dirty dogs of the Divine Alliance have rigged things and manipulated in the shadows. They deserve to be killed!"

"Exactly, a bunch of degenerate scumbags!"

"Senior Brother Lin Bai has done well! You have glorified our Sword Alliance!"

"Senior Brother Lin Bai is mighty!"

At this moment, the warriors who supported the Sword Alliance and the disciples of the Alliance were all excitedly shouting.

"Scumbags of the Divine Alliance!"

"Manipulating in the shadow, scumbags, you play these dirty tricks? In the face of absolute strength, all these are trash."

"Scumbags!"

The disciples who had just participated in the Core Martial Artist Assessment were all bellowing in anger.

Looking at this scene, Su Cang’s face turned iron green. The disciples’ discontent towards the Divine Alliance in the Spirit Sword Sect was growing.

"Young Sect Master, allow me to defeat Lin Bai," Qiao Xukun, one of the top ten from the Inner Gate, requested at this point.

After speaking, Qiao Xukun prepared to fly towards the martial arts stage.

At this time, Su Cang reached out and stopped Qiao Xukun, saying coldly, "Wait, it seems Lin Bai was right. Below the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, he has no competitors. However, those at the ninth layer may still put up a fight!"

"Cai Xuan, you go and end this boring duel."

Clasped by Su Cang, Qiao Xukun was surprised and asked, "Young Sect Master, are you sending Senior Brother Cai Xuan?"

Su Cang nodded in silence, "Cai Xuan, although killing is forbidden in the martial arts competition for core disciples, you can strike without worries. Even if you kill Lin Bai, the Grand Elder will not hinder you."

"But, if Lin Bai attempts to kill you, the Grand Elder will step in."

"So, do not hold back. It would be best if you could kill Lin Bai!"

With a confident look on his face, Cai Xuan said, "Rest assured, Young Sect Master, killing Lin Bai is no different from slaughtering a pig or a dog."

"Even if the Elders in the Martial God Tower were unaware of Lin Bai’s ruthless nature and paid the price for their leniency, Lin Bai dreaming of defeating me with a realm of the seventh layer of the Heaven Martial Realm is nothing but a lunatic’s rambling."

Young Sect Master Su Cang nodded and said, "Very well, since you’re so confident, go on then. Make sure you kill Lin Bai for me."

Cai Xuan nodded his head, getting ready to climb onto the martial arts stage to deal with Lin Bai.

Seeing Cai Xuan and Su Cang fervently discussing, Lin Bai couldn’t help but impatience bubbled up. He said, "Su Cang, don’t bother discussing anymore. If your warriors beg for mercy on their knees today, I might show magnanimity and spare their lives. Otherwise, they shouldn’t blame me for my ruthlessness."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xuan scoffed, "Such wild words, I would like to see how you could possibly kill me!"

Stamping his foot, Cai Xuan exuding a powerful aura, landed on the martial arts stage.

Cai Xuan landed, his aura undiminished.

His eyes were fixed on Lin Bai, gleaming fiercely like a tiger or a wolf.

Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from Cai Xuan, Lin Bai was taken aback, thinking to himself: This guy is no simple matter. He is by no means inferior to any core martial artist.

"Cai Xuan, ranked first in the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking, is stepping up."

"Cai Xuan could be said to be the most powerful genius in the Spirit Sword Sect this year, except for Murong Yeshen."

"Exactly, Cai Xuan once claimed that within the entire Spirit Sword Sect, only Murong Yeshen could stand on par with him. Unfortunately, Murong Yeshen was already killed by Lin Bai."

"Senior Brother Cai Xuan, who has reached the ninth level of the Heaven Martial Realm, is stepping up. Senior Brother Cai Xuan will definitely win!"

"Senior Brother Cai Xuan will be victorious! Victory for the Divine Alliance!"

The warriors of the Divine Alliance one after another began to shout.

"Cai Xuan!" The Second Elder saw this slightly majestic young man, and his eyes showed a hint of solemnity.

Ji Bei said, "If Lin Bai doesn’t take this seriously, he may be in danger. This Cai Xuan is not a common martial artist. He can’t be compared with one."

Ji Bai also said, "Yes, Cai Xuan has already reached the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer of cultivation, comparable to the second-ranked Ye Mobei among the nine core martial artists. Moreover, he has also practiced the Earth-class Ninth-rank Martial Arts within Spirit Sword Sect, the Heavenly Dragon Qi Gate Blade!"

"The most terrifying thing is Cai Xuan’s Martial Soul, the Blade Hand Pangolin King of Mysterious Rank Seventh Grade, which can add a horrifying penetrating power to his knife technique," Ji Bei said with a solemn face.

The Heavenly Dragon Qi Gate Blade was one of the few Earth-class Ninth-rank Martial Arts within the Spirit Sword Sect and was only given to disciples who had the most hope of becoming a core martial artist for practice.

Obviously, the fact that Cai Xuan could get the Heavenly Dragon Qi Gate Blade showed how much the Spirit Sword Sect valued him.

As for Cai Xuan’s Martial Soul, it was the Blade Hand Pangolin King, which was shaped like a pangolin. This kind of Martial Soul was perfect for sword cultivators. The knife technique was extremely fierce. Once unleashed, ordinary defenses in front of him were as fragile as paper.

Cai Xuan was not to be underestimated and was a master who had been heavily cultivated by Su Cang and the Spirit Sword Sect in recent years.

Now, Cai Xuan’s strength was almost comparable to that of the eight core martial artists.

Lin Bai and Cai Xuan confronted each other, and both of them had a tremendous desire to fight in their eyes.

"Lin Bai, I advise you to concede. Otherwise, my knife technique does not pick a target." Cai Xuan said coldly.

"Knife Technique!"

Lin Bai softly chanted.

Looking back, Lin Bai had met three knife cultivators in his life.

One was Murong Yeshen, whom Lin Bai had killed.

One was Nanli Dao, who went to the Heavenly Sword Dynasty to watch the martial arts competition held by Famous Sword Manor.

One was Li Daohen, who didn’t like the life of the sect. After being granted the title of general in the Imperial Capital, he stayed in the military and didn’t come back to participate in the Core Martial Artist Assessment.

As for Cai Xuan, he was the fourth.

Lin Bai softly laughed. "Finally, a martial artist who can barely be considered capable has arrived. I want to see how fierce your knife skills are."

"Make your move. As a warrior of the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer, you are just barely qualified to fight with me!"

"Hmph! Since you don’t know what’s good for you, then I’ll show you." In a fury, Cai Xuan pulled out a five-grade spiritual treasure blade from his storage bag and held it in his hand.

Suddenly, the blade’s aura wrapped around him, shattering the eight-directional sound barrier.

"Heavenly Dragon Qi Gate Blade!"

With a furious roar from Cai Xuan, a knife strike came fiercely.

The blade aura rolled down, drove an immense force, and blasted towards him.

This one strike was comparable to a unique divine and devil-like strike, shaking heaven and earth. Even the clouds in the sky were shattered!

It was dark everywhere, and the rumbling sound of thunder seemed to bring an apocalyptic scene.

Lin Bai’s face grew serious, and between his opening and closing eyes, a chilling killing intent was revealed.

Not retreating in the face of such a terrifying strike, Lin Bai advanced instead. The speed of the Feng Lei Divine Wings increased and he charged straight at Cai Xuan.

"What is Lin Bai trying to do!"

"Does Lin Bai actually plan to resist Cai Xuan’s Heavenly Dragon Qi Gate Blade?"

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, don’t be so reckless!"

A group of martial artists from the Spirit Sword Sect began to yell.

Seeing Lin Bai’s movements, the Second Elder was deeply shocked and urgently shouted, "Lin Bai, you can’t resist this. It is an Earth-class Ninth-rank martial arts. You can’t resist it at all!"

Su Cang stood up and laughed, "Haha, since Lin Bai is seeking death, Cai Xuan, do not hesitate!"

Seeing Lin Bai rushing over, enduring the impressive pressure of the blade aura, Cai Xuan smirked, "Since you’re dead set on finding death, then I’ll grant you that wish. The Grand Elder wouldn’t stop me from killing you anyway!"

"Heavenly Dragon Qi Gate Blade! Dragon Saber Slashes the Sky!"

Cai Xuan increased his strength, using all his power to unleash an incredibly powerful move from the Heavenly Dragon Qi Gate Blade, slashing directly downwards.

The Grand Elder saw Cai Xuan using all his power, his face showed a faint sneer. He took a few steps back and when he looked at Lin Bai, he had a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The Grand Elder knew that Lin Bai might die under this move, but he had no intention of helping him.
