The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 603 - 602: Heavenly-grade Martial Soul! Sword River Sinking and Floating!

Chapter 603: Chapter 602: Heavenly-grade Martial Soul! Sword River Sinking and Floating!

At this moment, Dugu Yun, Jian Qianqiu, and Jian Ruohan all stared intently at the fierce battle unfolding in the middle of the stage, not blinking an eye.

With Yejian Qiu’s strike, Lin Bai was sent retreating a hundred meters.

Looking skyward, Lin Bai revealed a cold smile, "Then let’s go all out!"

"Late Stage of Half-Step Divine Pill Realm!"

Lin Bai no longer suppressed his cultivation, raising his realm to the Late Stage of Half-Step Divine Pill realm!

"Sword Intent!"

"Divine Power! Gentle Sword!"

Lin Bai rushed forward, his razor-sharp sword aura violently piercing towards Yejian Qiu.

"Autumn Water Sword Skill, ninth form, One Traceless Sword!"

Yejian Qiu held a smile, his sword skill went on parrying it.

Immediately on the martial arts stage, streams of sword shadows burst out like mad, with sword qi crisscrossing up and down.

In an instant, this large martial arts stage was filled with complex sword marks, covering the whole stage like a spider’s web.

The two fought for a moment, but surprisingly, neither had been able to gain the upper hand.

At this moment, all the sword cultivators in Sword Discussion City, the warriors of Famous Sword Manor who were watching the battle, and all the warriors of the Lingdong 700 States watching the duel, were speechless in shock at the strength of Yejian Qiu and Lin Bai!

Incredible!

The two were actually so strong.

Yejian Qiu and Lin Bai could be considered the strongest under the Human Elixir Realm among the people of Lingdong!

Dugu Yun watched to his heart’s content and said with excitement on his face, "This is indeed an exceptional duel. Yejian Qiu’s sword skill is like a steady stream, endless; while Lin Bai’s sword skill is vigorous and decisive, each move is pressing."

Jian Qianqiu also praised, "Indeed, Yejian Qiu is soft, while Lin Bai is hard!"

Dugu Yun said, "If we judge solely from their combat experience, the two are on par; looking at their cultivation, Lin Bai’s half-step Divine Pill Late Stage True Qi is not weaker than the Great Perfection of Half-Step Divine Pill Realm, in fact, Lin Bai’s True Qi far surpasses the power of the Great Perfection of Half-Step Divine Pill Realm!"

Jian Qianqiu said, "Yes, if we talk about Sword Intent, Lin Bai is at the Late Stage of Second-Order Sword Intent, and Yejian Qiu is at the Early Stage of Third-Order Sword Intent. The gap in their Sword Intent is not very wide, they are evenly matched!"

Dugu Yun said, "I estimate it will take the two of them thousands of rounds of fighting to determine the winner."

Jian Qianqiu said, "I don’t know who will win in the end! After their duel, the ranking of the first sword cultivator in Lingdong this year should be able to be determined."

Dugu Yun said, "Indeed, Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu’s strength has far surpassed all the sword cultivators present. Even Jian Ruohan is not their match."

Jian Qianqiu nodded deeply.

He was very clear about Jian Ruohan’s strength.

Now observing the level of Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu, Jian Qianqiu determined that Jian Ruohan was still far from them.

Jian Ruohan watched the intense fight between Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu and said dejectedly, "I’ve lost..."

Even though Jian Ruohan didn’t compete on the stage, she already knew that she had no chance of becoming the first sword cultivator in Lingdong this year.

Jian Ruohan could only settle for being the third sword cultivator in Lingdong.

Because Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu would definitely be the first and second sword cultivators in Lingdong.

"Inseparable!"

"Truly exceptional, I can’t help but exclaim in admiration!"

All the sword cultivators in Sword Discussion City were shouting in surprise.

Feng Yunxiu wore an idiotic expression, said incredulously, "This... this is their true strength?"

At this moment, Feng Yunxiu felt that he was not a match for either Lin Bai or Yejian Qiu.

"Go Lin Bai!" Bai Zhiyuan cheered loudly.

Ji Bei held his breath, his eyes eagerly watching the events on the stage, and muttered solemnly, "Go Lin Bai, you can do it. Beat Yejian Qiu, and you’ll be the number one in Lingdong!"

Ye Guxing and Nanli Dao were also full of excitement!

In the Spirit Sword Sect of the Shenwu Kingdom, Su Jiannan and all the martial artists from the Spirit Sword Sect held their breath, waiting for the final result.

Within the walls of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, Lin Zi’er, who had always looked down on Lin Bai, was now watching the duel between Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu with curious eyes!

Clang, clang——

A stream of sword shadows moved and collided fiercely.

After a thousand rounds, Lin Bai and Yejian Qiu were both hurled a hundred meters away!

Yejian Qiu laughed, "It’s about time, this should end now!"

Lin Bai smirked, "I feel the same way, it’s about time this ended!"

"Then let’s do it!"

Yejian Qiu and Lin Bai roared together.

From Yejian Qiu’s body, a colossal eruption of True Qi came forth, like a vast ocean in turmoil, unstoppable!

The mighty True Qi—like the waters of the Vast Ocean—swept the sky and drowned the heavens!

Lin Bai’s face turned stern, the True Qi within his Elixir River and four Spirit Vortices unfolded, a boundless explosion of True Qi erupted, as thick and heavy as a hundred thousand great mountains!

"Both of them have started to unleash their True Qi!"

"Their strongest attack is coming!"

"This one attack will determine the top Sword Cultivator of the Lingdong 700 States!"

All the people began to exclaim!

Meanwhile, Dugu Yun and Jian Qianqiu watched the scene with awe and disbelief!

Yejian Qiu’s face was full of excitement and laughter, "Lin Bai, you’re a worthy opponent. However, with your strength as it stands, it’s not enough to defeat me!"

"Once you’ve reached the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm, I’ll come to Spirit Sword Sect of the Shenwu Kingdom and challenge you again!"

"And for today’s battle, I shall definitely emerge victorious!"

Yejian Qiu declared with utmost conviction.

"Divine Power! Grand Origin Water!"

The sword in Yejian Qiu’s hand slightly shook, the blade vibrating like the ripples from a water surface. The unending stream of Sword Intention bombarded relentlessly.

Once the sword was unsheathed, it seemed weak and powerless. Yet the force it exerted cracked open the entire Martial Arts Stage!

Lin Bai retorted fiercely, "No need to wait that long, you’re bound to lose today!"

"Divine Power! Snow-Burying!"

Lin Bai drew his sword, sweeping the celestial snow!

The two swords rapidly neared and collided instantly.

With a thunderous rumble.

A wave of earth-shaking power swept across.

After the collision, Yejian Qiu’s eyes displayed shock. The Martial Soul above his head was revealed—it was... a Sword River!

Yejian Qiu’s Martial Soul was a Sword River!

Within the Sword River, countless Treasure Swords emerged, pressing down menacingly!

"Heavenly-grade Martial Soul!"

When Lin Bai saw the Sword River, his eyes showed an incredible surprise.

So Yejian Qiu’s Martial Soul was also a Heavenly-grade Martial Soul!

Yejian Qiu laughed, "Lin Bai, ever since I awakened my Martial Soul, no one has ever forced me to unleash my Martial Soul Secret Skill!"

"You are the first one today!"

"Listen well, the name of my Martial Soul Secret Skill is... Sword River Sinking and Floating!"

As the Martial Soul Secret Skill was activated, Yejian Qiu’s sword pierced the air, forging countless Sword Shadows into a river that swept towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was engulfed within the Sword River. A myriad of Sword Shadows whistled towards him, piercing his flesh, turning Lin Bai into a bloody figure in an instant. Even his Golden War Body was continuously pierced!
