The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 520 - 519: Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer!

Chapter 520: Chapter 519: Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer!

The Ash Battle Team, the effeminate man, Butterfly, Sun Yao, and three others stood in front of Lin Bai, glaring at him coldly.

The Heavenly Dragon Battle Team, Long Yi, Sheer, Hu San, Bao Si, Ying Wu, blocked Lin Bai’s path, their bodies radiating terrifying waves of power.

Lin Bai rose to his feet and asked in a cold voice, "What is this about, gentlemen? Why have you cornered me?"

Smiling lightly, the effeminate man said, "I know your name, Lin Bai. We mean no disrespect; we just want something from you, just in time for the New Year."

Grinning, Lin Bai asked, "What is it?"

The effeminate man chuckled awkwardly, "It sounds a bit inappropriate, but I wish to borrow your head. Don’t worry, I will return it to you after redeeming one million Spirit Stones from the Yishan Family."

Lin Bai laughed, "I’m sorry, but I’m not accustomed to lending out my head."

"But isn’t it a bit too much to go through such lengths for one million Spirit Stones? Given your cultivation levels, killing a demon beast at the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm should be an easy task. Why go out of your way to kill me?"

Lin Bai asked coldly.

The effeminate man laughed, "It’s more of a thrill for us, the thrill of hunting prey. Besides, killing a Warrior at the Eighth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm is much easier than slaying a demon beast at the Great Perfection of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm."

"Isn’t this a free windfall of one million Spirit Stones? Why wouldn’t we take it?"

The effeminate man said, laughing merrily.

Lin Bai looked grave. Given the present situation, it was quite unfavorable to him, so he suggested, "Well then, how about this? I happen to have exactly one million Spirit Stones in my Storage Bag. I’ll give them to you, and in return, you spare my life. How does that sound?"

Having participated in the Chaoyang Palace Martial Arts Competition and the Core Martial Artist Martial Arts Competition in the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, and having made such significant contributions in the Southern Region, the Spirit Stones he had earned added up to nearly one million in total.

Long Yi from the Heavenly Dragon Battle Team burst into wild laughter and said, "Hah, Hu Jiang, why are you wasting your breath on a dead man? Especially since this lad mentioned he has one million Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag."

"Hu Jiang, how about this? Our two teams join forces. After we kill this lad, I’ll take the one million Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag, and you can take his head as a token to the Yishan Family to redeem one million Spirit Stones. How does it sound?"

"If you don’t agree, we’ll kill him first, and after taking his head, our two teams can settle our score."

Long Yi said to the effeminate man, laughing gleefully.

The effeminate man nodded in laughter, "Alright, after we kill Lin Bai, I’ll take his head, and you can have what’s in his Storage Bag!"

Long Yi nodded in agreement, "Fine."

Seeing the effeminate man agree, Long Yi immediately turned to Lin Bai with a half-mocking look and asked, "So, boy, will you hand over your head willingly, or do we have to take it ourselves?"

With a cold laugh, Lin Bai said, "As I mentioned, I’ve never lent out my head."

Lin Bai spoke, his face solemn, and his voice icy cold.

He proceeded to gauge the situation. Both Long Yi and the effeminate man were Warriors at the Great Perfection of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm, while the remaining warriors were all at the Late Stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s response, Long Yi clenched his fists, chuckled coldly, and said, "Looks like I’ll have to take it by force!"

"Humph, there’s no need for Big Brother to step in. I can easily handle him," said Ying Wu as he lunged towards Lin Bai.

Long Yi refrained from stopping him.

Indeed, as Ying Wu had claimed, being a Warrior at the Late Stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm, he would have no trouble defeating a Warrior of the Eighth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm.

A sharp cry of an eagle echoed.

Ying Wu exerted his Martial Soul, growing wings on his back. His speed surged tremendously as he darted towards Lin Bai like an eagle swooping on its prey, all set to rip Lin Bai apart.

"Just you?"

Lin Bai watched Ying Wu attack with indifference, tightly gripping his Qingge Sword.

Instantaneously, the Sword Aura exploded forth.

A strand of grey Sword Qi materialized, hovering just above Ying Wu’s throat.

Ying Wu’s face paled, shocked. He moved hurriedly in an attempt to swerve away.

Squelch-

But Ying Wu was too slow to dodge, and Lin Bai’s sword slashed through half his throat, tearing it apart along with his flesh.

"Ahhhh!"

Ying Wu was suddenly felt an excruciating pain and his face was bleeding profusely, causing him to scream in agony.

"How dare you injure me, I’m going to tear you to pieces today!"

"Eagle Strike Sky High!"

Ying Wu was enraged, displayed his Martial Soul Secret Skill. A flood of black mist swirled around his hands, from which emerged large eagle claws. Their sharpness was extraordinary, tearing through the atmosphere like it was paper and rushed towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai moved swiftly, transforming into a waning shadow and charged against Ying Wu.

"Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

With a solemn look on his face, Lin Bai brought down his sword with fury.

Ying Wu burst into crazed laughter, "You, an eighth layer warrior of the Heaven Martial Realm, dare to challenge me head-on, you’re courting death!"

"Die!"

Ying Wu smirked coldly, a brutal attack crashed down like the firmament itself.

His mighty power shook the surroundings, causing turbulence.

"Is that so? Let’s see who dies!"

At this moment, Lin Bai’s face changed, and the power within his body surged again.

Ying Wu looked at Lin Bai in surprise and exclaimed, "You’ve reached the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, you’ve actually hidden your cultivation?"

Hearing Ying Wu’s cry of surprise, Lin Bai grinned coldly. His sword skill was heaven-reaching, and his sword Qi lashed out, slashing down with rage.

"Divine Power! Wind-Slaying!"

A sword that split the sky struck onto the top of Ying Wu’s head.

With a swoop, his sword split Ying Wu from head to toe as he was cut into two halves.

Blood was spilled everywhere, the sight was incredibly gruesome.

A warrior in the late stage of Half-Step Divine Pill Realm was so easily assassinated by Lin Bai!

In the past, after killing hundreds of warriors and refining their vital energy, Lin Bai finally broke through to the ninth layer of Heaven Martial Realm before he reached the canyon.

Fortunately, Lin Bai broke through to the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, possessing the strength to kill those in the late stages of the Half-Step Divine Pill Realm. Otherwise, with the current situation, even if Lin Bai had three heads and six arms, he would probably be doomed!

Now that Lin Bai had obtained the strength of the ninth layer of Heaven Martial Realm, as long as he didn’t directly confront the effeminate man and Long Yi, it would be easy for him to kill others.

"No!"

Watching Ying Wu being killed by Lin Bai’s sword incensed Long Yi, causing his eyes to bulge and his face to be filled with rage.

The effeminate man exclaimed, "He actually broke through his cultivation and reached the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm! I didn’t expect his combat power to be so terrifying. At the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, he already has the ability to kill those at the late stage of the Half-Step Divine Pill Realm!"

Long Yi was seething with anger, his face was ferocious, and the pain was evident on the faces of the men standing behind him-- She Er, Hu San, and Bao Si.

The five were biological brothers who had been dependent on each other since they were young. They had slowly made their way to this point from being weak warriors. They didn’t expect a mission that had seemed simple to them to end up with Ying Wu’s death.

"Revenge!"

Long Yi shouted in fury.

"Revenge!" Shouted She Er, Hu San, and Bao Si as well.

The effeminate man indifferently said, "We can’t afford to hold back anymore. I have already observed that there are lots of warriors coming. We need to kill Lin Bai quickly and leave here."

"Let’s do it together, once we kill him, we’ll immediately leave!" The effeminate man reminded Long Yi.

But Long Yi roared furiously, "Don’t you dare! I want to tear off every piece of meat from his body and drink with it!"
