The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 561 - 560: Pierced Her Heart!

Chapter 561: Chapter 560: Pierced Her Heart!

Bai Zhiyuan walked over and stood in front of Lin Bai, spoke grievously, "Brother Lin Bai, I know my sister likes you, but I can’t out-compete my sister."

"My sister is so excellent, she understands warfare, protects our home and country, is highly gifted in martial arts, and is smart and virtuous."

"My sister is better than me at everything, I’m no match for her."

Bai Zhiyuan spoke in grievance, "So, to keep Brother Lin Bai by my side forever, this is the only thing I could do!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai was immediately shocked.

Even if Lin Bai was a fool, he understood what Bai Zhiyuan wanted to do after hearing these words!

Suddenly, at this moment!

Lin Bai’s face tightened, his True Qi roiled within him, rushing into his meridians and bloodstream, suppressing all the toxins in his body.

With no toxins left, the sour, numb, and soft feeling in his body was swept away.

The restoration of his True Qi also meant the restoration of his strength!

Lin Bai’s True Qi trembled, pushing Bai Zhiyuan back three steps.

"Zhiyuan, you’re wrong to do this!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

"Why, Brother Lin Bai!" Bai Zhiyuan said, crying grievously.

"Brother Lin Bai, Zhiyuan likes you, Zhiyuan loves you, Zhiyuan doesn’t want to see you with my sister."

"But Zhiyuan doesn’t know what to do to make you stay. Compared to my sister, I’m no match for her in any aspect!"

Bai Zhiyuan spoke with extreme grievance.

Just as Bai Zhiyuan said, compared to Bai Xiaoxiao, she really was no match.

Bai Xiaoxiao, as the First Princess of Shenwu Kingdom, was an all-rounder in literature and martial arts, had a high martial arts talent, topped the genius list of Shenwu Kingdom, had a heroic bearing, and possessed absolute leadership power both in the military and the royal court.

As for beauty, Bai Xiaoxiao was recognized as the most beautiful woman in Shenwu Kingdom, and even ranked high among the Lingdong 700 states.

And Bai Zhiyuan was nothing more than a naive young girl.

Bai Zhiyuan was neither capable of leading troops nor highly gifted in martial arts. The only thing she could compete with Bai Xiaoxiao was her looks.

Lin Bai spoke in a cold, expressionless voice, "Why must you compare yourself to your sister? Your sister has her strengths, and you naturally have your own!"

"Your sister is indeed a heroic figure in terms of both literature and martial arts, but she lacks the purity and romance you possess."

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Bai Zhiyuan asked, "Then why don’t you like me, Brother Lin Bai!"

Lin Bai closed his eyes, unable to bear it.

As for now, Lin Bai really didn’t know how to face Bai Zhiyuan.

Moreover, Lin Bai was now in a de facto marital relationship with Bai Xiaoxiao, and he felt only brotherly affection for Bai Zhiyuan. There was no way he could become involved with Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan ran down from the bed and hugged Lin Bai, saying, "Brother Lin Bai, listen to Zhiyuan tonight, okay..."

"As long as we get through tonight, Zhiyuan won’t be afraid of my sister taking you away."

Bai Zhiyuan looked at Lin Bai with pleading eyes.

Lin Bai, expressionless, struggled for a long time before finally making up his mind and firmly declaring, "I am already in a marital relationship with your sister."

Dumfounded!

Bai Zhiyuan stared blankly at Lin Bai, too shocked to speak.

Lin Bai’s words delivered a cruel blow to Bai Zhiyuan!

It made Bai Zhiyuan feel as if she’d lost her soul.

"Woo--"

In the end, Bai Zhiyuan began to cry out in grievance.

Immediately after, Bai Zhiyuan ran out of the room, and at the doorway, she turned to Lin Bai, shouting angrily:

"Lin Bai, I hate you!"

"Bai Xiaoxiao, I hate you!"

"I hate you all! I don’t want to see any of you ever again!"

With that, Bai Zhiyuan ran out of the room.

Watching Bai Zhiyuan leave, Lin Bai who was standing, suddenly collapsed onto the floor.

The suppressed poison inside him started to surge again, but fortunately, Bai Zhiyuan had already left.

Lin Bai activated the Great Five Elements Skill, beginning to expel the poison from his body.

"What kind of poison is this, it’s so potent!"

Lin Bai cursed inwardly.

He spent the night expelling the poison.

It was dawn by the time Lin Bai had completely gotten rid of the poison in his body.

Then, Lin Bai, his eyes flashing, dashed out of the room like lightning, quickly heading to Bai Zhiyuan’s room.

He discovered that Bai Zhiyuan hadn’t returned to her room since she left his room last night.

"Where could this little girl have run off to?"

Lin Bai’s face turned gloomy, looking extremely displeased.

Just at this moment, Qi Longhai and Lishu An came over.

Naturally, Lishu An knew about the incident that happened in the Sword River Palace last night. Both he and Qi Longhai thought something had happened between Lin Bai and Bai Zhiyuan last night.

Immediately, Lishu An smiled and said: "Senior Brother Lin Bai, did you rest well last night?"

Qi Longhai also teased with a smile.

Lin Bai’s expression was as cold as ice.

Suddenly, Lin Bai staggered, and a powerful force struck Qi Longhai.

Qi Longhai’s face changed dramatically, and under this impressive force, he staggered backward several steps. His blood and qi were in turmoil, and he was nearly severely injured by Lin Bai’s aura!

At this point, Lishu An and Qi Longhai realized just how formidable Lin Bai was!

Whoosh!

In a flash, Lin Bai appeared before Qi Longhai, gripping Qi Longhai’s throat, lifting him up.

Qi Longhai’s face turned red. He hastily said, "Sword Prince, calm your anger, I don’t know what I did wrong!"

Qi Longhai was terrified. If Lin Bai wanted to kill him now, a simple twist of his hand would be enough to end his life.

Lin Bai said coldly, "How did Zhiyuan get poisoned! Is it something you gave her?"

Qi Longhai quickly said, "Sword Prince, please calm down! I don’t know anything about any poison!"

Infuriated, Lin Bai shouted, "Still trying to lie?"

Qi Longhai explained, "I really don’t know what kind of poison it is! Sword Prince, after arriving at the Famous Sword Manor, we settled down in the Northern Mountain Range. Many young nobles are also there."

"They have a deep friendship with the Ninth Princess, maybe she got something from them."

Hearing this, Lin Bai asked Lishu An, "What is this Northern Mountain Range?"

Lishu An, scared pale by Lin Bai’s intimidating aura stammered out, "The Northern Mountain Range, it’s a mid-tier residence area. It houses geniuses attending the Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition and various formidable figures from the Lingdong 700 States."

"Like, the Royal Family and representatives of large families from the Lingdong 700 States live in the intermediate houses of the Northern Mountain Range!"

After hearing this, Lin Bai said with a gloomy face, "Qi Longhai, where do you think the Ninth Princess would have gone after leaving the Sword River Palace last night?"

Qi Longhai said, "I know. The Ninth Princess should have gone to the Sword Immortal Tavern!"

"What is this Sword Immortal Tavern?" Lin Bai asked Lishu An.

Lishu An said, "The Sword Immortal Tavern is the biggest pub on the Northern Mountain Range. Many warriors have arrived at Famous Sword Manor quite early waiting for the competition to start. While waiting, they usually gather there to drink and have fun. This gathering place is the Sword Immortal Tavern!"

"Moreover, Senior Brother Lin Bai, the Sword Immortal Tavern is not a good place. It’s a mixed bag... not only are there royal descendants from the 700 States, but also brutally murderous swordsmen..."

Lin Bai threw Qi Longhai out and said, "Take me to the Sword Immortal Tavern to find Bai Zhiyuan. When I find out the truth, I won’t spare you!"
