The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 602 - 601: I Grant You a Defeat

Chapter 602: Chapter 601: I Grant You a Defeat

With his sword defeating the eighteen sword masters of the Famous Sword Manor, and his name resounding Under Heaven, Lin Bai returned to his seat to rest. He looked at the sky.

It was nearing sunset, and the time remaining for the Famous Sword Manor’s Martial Arts Competition was getting shorter.

Jian Qianqiu glanced at the sky and said, "There is only one hour left. If there is no change in your seats after sunset, the person sitting in the first-place position will be this year’s First Sword Cultivator of Lingdong."

"And the rest of the Sword Cultivators will be ranked accordingly."

At this moment, Lin Bai once again stood up from his seat and walked into the middle of the Martial Arts Stage.

When Lin Bai got up, it once again attracted the attention of all the Sword Cultivators in the arena.

All the Sword Cultivators in Sword Discussion City were looking at Lin Bai.

He walked into the arena, and said indifferently, "You said you only came this year, not for the first place, but to seek defeat!"

"Good! I grant you defeat!"

"Yejian Qiu, do you dare to fight!"

Lin Bai’s eyes were sharp, oppressive and full of fighting spirit as he looked at Yejian Qiu.

Whoosh——

The entire arena gasped in surprise.

"It’s finally happening!"

"Time is running out, and the attack from the top ten on the first Sword Cultivator has begun."

"Lin Bai was able to defeat Feng Yunxiu and fight off the combined forces of the eighteen sword masters. Can he defeat last year’s Dongling First Sword Cultivator!"

At this moment in Sword Discussion City, many Sword Cultivators knew that they had no hope of getting the first place, yet they all looked forward to Lin Bai’s showdown with Yejian Qiu.

Yejian Qiu stood up from the first seat, walked into the arena with a smile, and said, "I have never underestimated any Sword Cultivator invited by the Famous Sword Manor!"

"I know, given the judgment of the Famous Sword Manor, even if a Warrior from the Xuanwu Realm were invited to attend the Sword Discourse Conference, it would be possible!"

"Lin Bai, I have not misjudged you!"

Yejian Qiu said with a smile.

Lin Bai laughed, "You said that we will definitely have a showdown this year!"

Yejian Qiu laughed and said, "In this Sword Discussion City, besides Senior Dugu Yun and Senior Jian Qianqiu, among the other Sword Cultivators, you are the only one who can make me draw my sword!"

"Others don’t even have the qualification to make me draw my sword."

Hearing Yejian Qiu’s words, the other Sword Cultivators were slightly angered, but they did not dare to speak.

Yejian Qiu claiming that they did not even qualify to make him draw his sword was too arrogant.

However, when Yejian Qiu defeated Feng Yunxiu, he didn’t even bother to draw his sword and defeated Feng Yunxiu with ease.

Upon hearing Yejian Qiu’s words, Feng Yunxiu coldly retorted, "I can’t believe that I, a Warrior at the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm with a third-order Sword Intent Martial Arts Will, can’t defeat Yejian Qiu. Can Lin Bai, who is only at the middle stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm and has a late-stage second-order Sword Intent Martial Arts Will, defeat Yejian Qiu?"

"Hmph, he’s just looking for punishment."

Feng Yunxiu huffed and puffed coldly.

"Come on!"

Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

"Come on."

Yejian Qiu also smiled lightly.

Immediately, from Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu erupted a tremendous sword momentum. The two forces collided, instantly causing a storm on the Martial Arts Stage that swept across the whole arena.

When this storm swept out, some Sword Cultivators with lower cultivation were blown about, almost unable to keep their balance.

"My goodness, they haven’t even started yet, and their sword momentum is already so formidable!"

"Incredible! The fight that follows is undoubtedly going to be the most spectacular of the year!"

"One aiming to be Lingdong’s first, another seeking only defeat!"

All the Sword Cultivators in Sword Discussion City were watching Yejian Qiu and Lin Bai with anticipation.

Even now, Dugu Yun and Jian Qianqiu were also on high alert.

The last hour of each year’s competition was always a thrilling stage, for many of the top ten warriors would strive to reach the first place. All their trump cards, all their power would erupt.

"Feng Lei Divine Wings!"

"Sword Intent!"

Lin Bai let out a low roar in his heart, and in that moment, turned into a bolt of lightning, shooting out.

With a single move, Lin Bai vanished from the Martial Arts Competition Arena.

"So fast! Lin Bai is incredibly fast!" Astonished cries immediately echoed throughout the Sword Discussion City.

They were all astounded by Lin Bai’s speed.

Swish—

A bolt of lightning suddenly burst out from nowhere, a sharp sword aura revealing itself out of thin air, slashing towards Yejian Qiu!

"Shocking Storm!"

An endless storm condensed into a sword that split heaven and earth, striking down fiercely.

The complexion of Yejian Qiu changed as he thrust out his sword, a surge of sword intent bursting forth.

"Humph, Yejian Qiu, do you take me for Feng Yunxiu? You think you can defeat me without even drawing your sword?"

When Lin Bai saw that Yejian Qiu had not drawn his sword, he immediately let out a cold snort.

"Sword Intent! Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

With a huge slash down, the sword aura that split heaven and earth immediately howled down, shattering Yejian Qiu’s sword and fiercely landing in front of Yejian Qiu.

Yejian Qiu’s face drastically changed, he had not expected Lin Bai’s strength to be so formidable!

Immediately!

Zing—

An incredibly crisp and loud sound of a sword being drawn reverberated forth.

In Yejian Qiu’s hands suddenly appeared a Sixth Grade Spirit Tool, the sword was thrust forward viciously.

The sword was like a raging dragon, yet it also flowed smoothly like a gentle stream, combining softness with strength, and strength enclosed within softness.

Bang—

Seeing the attack coming, Lin Bai quickly withdrew the Qingge Sword and blocked over his chest.

Yejian Qiu’s sword struck the body of Lin Bai’s sword, sending Lin Bai retreating by three hundred meters!

Yejian Qiu chuckled, "Hehe, are you still trying to suppress your cultivation? If you do not go all out, it’s basically impossible for you to defeat me!"

"Just as you said, do you think I’m Feng Yunxiu? Do you think you can defeat me with just two or three sword strikes?"

Yejian Qiu gave a cold laugh.

As soon as his voice fell, Yejian Qiu, swift as lightning, rushed toward Lin Bai.

Feng Yunxiu, who currently seated in the fourth spot, hearing Yejian Qiu and Lin Bai both comparing him, was infuriated to the point of smoking, his face turning red, and he grinded his teeth, "Great humiliation! Great humiliation! To bear such indignity, if I don’t take revenge, how can I call myself a sword cultivator!"

"Lin Bai, Yejian Qiu, I, Feng Yunxiu, swear that one day, I will trample you both under my feet and ensure that you never recover!"

Feng Yunxiu made a vow in his heart at that moment.

For the rest of his life, Feng Yunxiu would strive to defeat Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu!

And his Heavenly-grade Martial Soul would give him the power to rule Under Heaven!

"Yejian Qiu has drawn his sword!"

"Yejian Qiu hasn’t drawn his sword after he arrived this year, even facing Feng Yunxiu he didn’t draw his sword, but now he finally has!"

"What?! Yejian Qiu said Lin Bai is still suppressing his cultivation!"

"Could it be that Lin Bai’s cultivation level isn’t at the Middle Stage of the Half-step Divine Elixir Realm?"

"Exciting! Exciting! It’s so exciting!"

"Both of them have their own trump cards! They haven’t yet shown all of their strength!"

At this moment, all the sword cultivators in the Sword Discussion City shouted in unison, "How exciting!"

Yejian Qiu approached swiftly with a sword technique, the sharp sword aura, like a star-shattering descent.

Sword Qi crisscrossed, leaving a sword mark about a hundred meters long on the ground!
