The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 515 - 514: Scar-faced Man

Chapter 515: Chapter 514: Scar-faced Man

With a firm grip, Lin Bai crushed the arrow he had caught in his hand.

Looking up, he saw about twenty warriors emerging from the woods, each with a sarcastic smile on their face. Leading them was a scar-faced man, whose gaze upon Lin Bai was chilling.

"Young man, I saw you descending from the sky, riding a flying sword. What martial skill is this? Hand it over, honestly," the scar-faced man coldly said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai looked at these twenty or so warriors: seven were at the initial stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm; the rest were at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm. As for the scar-faced man leading them, he was at the middle stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm.

He heard that the scar-faced man came for the flying sword.

Immediately, Lin Bai said meaningfully, "When the flying sword is unleashed, it’s far too dazzling. Apart from when traveling, I should use it less in the future."

"After all, the power of the flying sword is so strong, it can perfectly serve as a trump card in my hand."

In the future, during battles, treat the flying sword as a trump card. In this way, it won’t be too conspicuous."

Lin Bai said to himself dismissively.

At the moment, Lin Bai was armed with the Earth Grade 9 Astonishing Wind Sword Skill, which he had cultivated to a transcendent level, the power it unleashed approached that of Heaven Level First Grade martial skills.

This was enough for Lin Bai to face a warrior at the middle stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm.

As for Lin Bai’s trump card, The Four Swords of Wind and Snow, once unleashed, they could draw upon the power of heaven and earth, their power was limitless.

Once Lin Bai unleashed his Divine Power, killing a warrior in the middle stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm was as easy as slaughtering a dog.

And Lin Bai also had the flying sword.

Once the flying sword was released, Lin Bai could challenge an opponent in the Late Stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm, but killing them still presented a certain difficulty, since the gap in Realm was too large.

This scar-faced man had clearly seen how extraordinary Lin Bai’s Flying Sword Skill was and wanted to snatch it away.

Lin Bai stated coldly, "And what if I refuse to hand it over?"

The Scar-faced man chuckled sarcastically, "Ha, youngster, you dare speak to us like this. Haven’t you heard of the Scar Battle Team in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains?"

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed true that all of these twenty or so warriors bore scars in different places on their bodies, but Lin Bai was still clueless as to what they meant.

Battle squads were small groups formed by adventurers, usually composed of five or six people. The warriors within a squad each possessed a variety of unique skills. Through coordination, the squad could more effectively kill more powerful Demon Beasts.

And a battle squad made up of more than twenty warriors, one could only imagine how powerful they were.

It was no exaggeration to say that the Scar Battle Team in front of Lin Bai right now, despite the other members being around the Ninth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, their coordination could fully allow them to kill Demon Beasts in the Late Stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Sorry, but I have never heard of you."

The scar-faced man became furious upon hearing this, he barked, "You dare look down on us. Our Scar Battle Team is one of the stronger teams within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, second only to the Ash Battle Team and the Heavenly Dragon Battle Team!"

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "I have not heard of any of these battle teams you mentioned."

The scar-faced man shouted in anger, "If you don’t even know them, then how did you survive in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains?"

Lin Bai laughed, "I’m not here to hang out, just passing through."

The Scar-faced man could tell. Lin Bai was a total fool, completely ignorant of the strengths within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

He had no clue about famous battle squads such as the Ashen and God-Slaying teams.

The scar-faced man spoke angrily, "Ah, I am wasting my time talking to you. Hand over that flying sword quickly. Otherwise, it’s a dead end for you."

Lin Bai smiled, "If I may be blunt, it seems to me that you might have some trouble trying to kill me with your strength."

The scar-faced man sneered, "Hmm, our Scar Battle Team has hunted down Demon Beasts in the Late Stage of Half-step Divine Pill Realm. Yet you think we would fear a martial artist at the Eighth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm."

"Hahaha, killing you is as easy as pie."

A warrior from within the Scar Battle Team looked at Lin Bai and quickly pulled out a portrait from his storage bag, exclaiming, "Boss, he’s Lin Bai!"

"What!" The scar-faced man snatched the portrait from the warrior’s hand, compared it to Lin Bai, and then looked back at the portrait.

Then, his eyes lit up with a green light. He looked at Lin Bai with an ecstatic expression.

Lin Bai looked at the scar-faced man in astonishment. At that moment, the man was looking at him as though he were a disrobed beauty, his gaze full of greed and hunger.

"You are one million spirit stones!"

The scar-faced man said excitedly.

Lin Bai blinked, confused, and asked, "What do you mean by one million spirit stones?"

The scar-faced man burst into laughter: "Hahaha, I’ve hit the jackpot! I didn’t expect to casually stumble upon one million spirit stones! That’s the equivalent of a demon beast at the Great Perfection of Half-Step Divine Pill Realm!"

A demon beast of the Great Perfection of Half-Step Divine Pill Realm was worth a million spirit stones!

Another warrior beside the scar-faced man asked, "Should we use the Ten-Day Bloodlight Chase and Kill Order, boss?"

The scar-faced man scowled, "Are you an idiot? Using the Ten-Day Bloodlight Chase and Kill Order would alert every warrior in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to Lin Bai’s location. Who will get these one million spirit stones then!"

"Without the Ten-Day Bloodlight Chase and Kill Order, we all attack together, kill him, take his head back. We will share the spirit stones equally."

The scar-faced man said, cackling madly.

"Brothers, let’s do this," he said as he withdrew a thin, fifth-grade spiritual sword from his storage bag.

His face lightened up as he looked at Lin Bai and laughed.

"Kill!"

The Scar Battle Team’s twenty-something warriors simultaneously launched towards Lin Bai.

In an instant, sword auras, blade lights, fist shadows, and palm imprints bombarded Lin Bai.

"If you wish to die, I’ll grant your wish!"

Lin Bai’s eyes hardened. In the chaotic wilds of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, killing was not a crime, and Lin Bai didn’t need to hold back. After all, it was a brutal environment here; one either ate or got eaten.

The Qingge Sword exploded out, spreading a cascade of sword light.

A few of the Scar Battle Team warriors who had charged to the front were immediately slain by Lin Bai’s sword light.

"Ahhhhhh."

These warriors all screamed, their eyes filled with terror as they were flung backward, exclaiming, "How can you be this strong!"

"How is a warrior at the Eighth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm this powerful!"

"The power within this sword stroke, it actually contains sword intention!"

"Too strong, he’s a sword intention warrior!"

The warriors of the Scar Battle Team screamed in turn.

By the time Lin Bai had advanced his sword intent to the second tier, every move he made naturally radiated with sword intention.

There was no need for him to consciously manipulate it.

At this moment, the scar-faced man glared at the others, growling, "Can’t even deal with a warrior at the Heaven Martial Realm’s Eighth Layer, a bunch of useless idiots, get out of my way!"

At the scar-faced man’s roar, the other members of the Scar Battle Team quickly backed off.

"Damn it, let me show you the power of the Instant Kill Sword!"

The scar-faced man gave a cold smile.

All of a sudden, Lin Bai felt his body wrapped in a chilling aura.

Lin Bai’s eyes concentrated on the thin sword in the scar-faced man’s hand. Then, in an instant, the scar-faced man lunged forward, his sword lunging towards Lin Bai’s neck as fast as a flash of lightning.

"So fast!"

Lin Bai was taken aback by the speed of the scar-faced man’s strike.
