The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 527 - 526: Desolate Sword Cultivator

Chapter 527: Chapter 526: Desolate Sword Cultivator

Lin Bai put on his clothes, seeing that his injuries had fully healed, he smiled faintly.

Suddenly, Lin Bai felt like he was missing something.

"Flying Swords."

Lin Bai closed his eyes, unable to sense the presence of his Flying Swords.

Thinking back, when he had fallen into the Forbidden Zone Forest, his Flying Swords had been left behind.

Now, as he tried to sense his Flying Swords, he felt them far away from the Forbidden Zone Forest...

"Did someone take them?"

Lin Bai spoke in surprise.

All of a sudden, a few figures like lightning sprang up from within the forest.

A monstrous aura reverberated throughout the forest.

"A Demonic aura. Judging by its intensity, it must be the Demon Kings from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains." Lin Bai’s eyes flashed as he quickly retreated into the forest.

With a flicker of his body, Lin Bai activated his Feng Lei Divine Wings and quickly left the vicinity of the Old Divine Tree’s remains.

As soon as Lin Bai had left, the Hawk King and Tiger King arrived.

Upon seeing the remains of the Old Divine Tree, both of them exchanged a glance.

"The Old Divine Tree is indeed dead." The Hawk King could hardly conceal his excitement.

"To the Temple, I’m curious to see the secrets within!"

The Tiger King was ecstatic, and he and the Hawk King went toward the Temple together.

In the past, with the Old Divine Tree guarding the Forbidden Zone Forest, these Demon Kings had no chance to get close to the Forbidden Zone Forest.

Now that the Old Divine Tree was dead, they could move freely in the Forbidden Zone Forest.

Hidden, Lin Bai looked at the Hawk King and Tiger King, whispering, "Are they going to the Temple?"

Thereupon, he stitched his brow in contemplation, and then quietly followed the Hawk King and the Tiger King.

Originally, Lin Bai planned to find his Flying Swords, but for now, he just so happened to be near the Temple, with others ahead scouting the path and ready to take on the Forbidden Zone Creatures.

For Lin Bai, this was a golden opportunity to enter the Temple.

Lin Bai decisively gave up on his quest for the Flying Swords and headed straight for the Temple.

After all, even if someone else had his Flying Swords, they wouldn’t know how to use them. He could retrieve them anytime.

Just as Lin Bai made his move...

Suddenly, eight or nine more Demon Kings trailing behind the Hawk King and the Tiger King sprang up from the forest.

"So many!"

Lin Bai was now awestruck by the power held within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains

At this moment, more than ten Demon King had appeared.

Bang bang bang---

Just then, a forceful collision sent shockwaves through the forest up ahead.

Lin Bai surged forward.

He saw a Headless Knight straddling a warhorse, charging out from the forest, and violently stabbing a spear at one of the Demon Kings.

Bang!

The force on this spear seemed capable of shattering the heavens.

Jabbed by the spear, the Demon King screamed as his flesh exploded and his Demon Core shattered to pieces.

Hiss---

Witnessing this scene, Lin Bai drew in a sharp breath.

"Is this the power of the Forbidden Zone Creatures? So terrifying?" Lin Bai couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart.

The Headless Knight was so ferocious that the dozens of Demon Kings scrambled in terror.

Yet Lin Bai continued onward.

He saw a Sword Cultivator standing opposite the Hawk King and Tiger King up ahead.

The Sword Cultivator wore a black sword by his waist. His clothes were tattered, his hair was tangled and filthy, hanging down his forehead in strands.

He bowed his head slightly, never looking directly at the Hawk King and the Tiger King.

Lin Bai turned to look at the Hawk King and Tiger King again, surprised to see several horrifying sword marks on them, clearly caused by this Desolate Sword Cultivator.

The Hawk King and Tiger King had faces of horror, looking at the Desolate Sword Cultivator with deep fear in their eyes.

Suddenly, at this moment.

The Desolate Sword Cultivator lifted his Black Sword, took a step forward, and made a slash downwards.

On this Black Sword, a power capable of destroying the world burst out.

But within this power, it was as if various gods from Hell had broken free from chains, arrived in the human world, and were about to envelope Under Heaven in darkness.

Angry slash, a crimson Sword Aura emerged from his Black Sword.

The Hawk King, in sheer panic, transformed back into his true form.

The colossal body of the Purple Crown Divine Emperor Hawk flapping its wings into a raging wind, generating a storm to withstand the strength of this sword.

But then a magical scene unfolded.

When the Desolate Sword Cultivator slashed, his crimson Sword Aura tore through the unending gale, landing a heavy blow on the Purple Crown Divine Emperor Hawk.

Squelch —

Blood splashed everywhere, the substantial body of the Purple Crown Divine Emperor Hawk was instantly bisected by the Desolate Sword Cultivator’s sword.

"Damn it!"

Lin Bai’s eyes widened.

That was the Hawk King, the king of the Demon Clan in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

His cultivation in the Human Elixir Realm made him one of the strongest in the Lingdong 700 States.

Yet, at this moment, he was bisected by this Desolate Sword Cultivator with a single slash.

Just a single slash.

This power left Lin Bai shivering in horror.

But when Lin Bai looked again, the Desolate Sword Cultivator had no fluctuations of power in himv– no True Qi, no Spirit Qi.

So, from where did his strength come?

It was well known that a warrior’s strength depended on his cultivation and True Qi.

But this Desolate Sword Cultivator had no Dantian, no True Qi, and not even a trace of vitality in him. He was like a corpse.

So where did his strength come from?

Thinking of this, Lin Bai looked at the Black Sword in the Desolate Sword Cultivator’s hand with bright eyes.

This Black Sword, with its straight and sharp blade, emitted a crimson Sword Aura. Its handle was shaped like a human arm, the pommel was a claw, and a crimson eye looked out from the crossguard.

This was no ordinary sword, but a Demon Sword.

This Demon Sword was the source of the Desolate Sword Cultivator’s power.

The Demon Sword continually supplied the Desolate Sword Cultivator with power.

Still, Lin Bai felt that the Demon Sword contained an immense evil thought that could corrupt a person’s mind.

The Tiger King, upon seeing the Desolate Sword Cultivator slay the Hawk King, instantly rushed toward the Temple.

The Desolate Sword Cultivator immediately leaped into the air, pursuing the Tiger King.

The Tiger King, looking panic-stricken, had no desire to fight with the Desolate Sword Cultivator, he turned and fled.

"Great opportunity, let’s go to the temple!"

Seeing the Tiger King draw the Desolate Sword Cultivator away and the Headless Knight pursue other Demon Kings.

Lin Bai immediately leaped forward, heading straight for the Temple.

With no creatures from the Forbidden Zone to obstruct him, Lin Bai easily reached the Temple.

"Luckily, these Demon Kings helped me divert these creatures. Otherwise, with my own power, even if I had ten lives, it wouldn’t be enough to barge in here."

Lin Bai felt apprehensive about the Desolate Sword Cultivator’s Demon Sword.

If the Desolate Sword Cultivator and the Headless Knight joined forces, just one round would probably be enough to slay Lin Bai on the spot.

Therefore, Lin Bai was quite relieved, grateful for those Demon Kings who diverted the two Forbidden Zone creatures, providing him with an opportunity to explore the Temple.
