The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 626 - 624: Everyone Has Their Own Aspirations!

Chapter 626: Chapter 624: Everyone Has Their Own Aspirations!

Listening to Su Jiannan introduce all the unparalleled geniuses within the Four Major Sects,

Duan Qinghong, Lixuan Qing, and Sun Qiaomei’s fighting spirits were completely shattered.

They all felt as though they couldn’t beat Fire Spirit and Fire Tyrant.

Above Fire Spirit and Fire Tyrant, there were also the so-called number one assassin of Lingdong, Blood Blade, and Eastern Ridge’s Top Genius, Lily Lin, whose impressive talents were so overwhelming that they were nearly suffocated.

At this moment, the faces of Duan Qinghong, Sun Qiaomei, and Lixuan Qing were filled with solemnity and timidity.

In contrast, Lin Bai appeared rather calm.

Because Lin Bai knew, this fight was unavoidable!

Lin Bai was definitely going!

There would be only two outcomes between Lin Bai and Lily Lin!

Either Lin Bai would kill her,

Or she would kill Lin Bai!

There wouldn’t be a third outcome!

Seeing the faces of Duan Qinghong and the others turn pale, Su Jiannan sighed lightly, "Duan Qinghong, Lixuan Qing, Sun Qiaomei, if you three don’t want to go, I won’t hold it against you."

"Because I understand better than you, this year’s Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition can be said to be the most formidable in nearly a century!"

"As the number one killer and top genius of Lingdong are going to take action, your fear is reasonable!"

"If you withdraw now, I can allow you not to go!"

Su Jiannan gave Duan Qinghong, Sun Qiaomei, and Lixuan Qing the right to decide.

Duan Qinghong hesitated and asked, "Leader, what about Lin Bai...He..."

Hearing this, Su Jiannan looked towards Lin Bai.

In reality, the last thing Su Jiannan wanted was for Lin Bai to participate in this meaningless martial arts competition among the Four Major Sects.

Su Jiannan hoped Lin Bai would give up, stay in Spirit Sword Sect and once Lin Bai fully matured, Lin Bai would rule Under Heaven and Spirit Sword Sect would rise again to become a top sect among Lingdong’s 700 States.

This might be good for the Spirit Sword Sect, but perhaps not for Lin Bai.

Since Su Jiannan knew that Lin Bai and Lily Lin came from the same family, and he also guessed that Lin Bai’s insistence on participating in the competition might be related to Lily Lin.

Since Lily Lin was defeated by Lin Bai in Wind God Sect, Canghai Yuntai Palace had deployed its sect power overnight to kill almost all of the warriors who had seen the battle, blocking the news.

They also sent people to Lingxi City and made everyone keep quiet and not reveal the relationship between Lin Bai and Lily Lin.

As such, to the world, Lily Lin was an unbeatable fighter with no flaw.

No one knew that Lily Lin had lost to Lin Bai twice!

Lin Bai said, "Brother Duan Qinghong, you all can choose not to go, but I have to go!"

"Someone is waiting for me!"

"I have to go!"

With a faint smile, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with fierceness and killing intent.

Su Jiannan sighed lightly, knowing that since Lin Bai was so resolute, it was impossible to persuade him to turn back. He could only let it be.

Su Jiannan said, "Duan Qinghong, Sun Qiaomei, Lixuan Qing, I’m now giving you an opportunity, you can choose not to go! After all, every year’s competition has dangers."

Struggle appeared on the faces of Duan Qinghong and the others, and they found it hard to decide.

They were all aware that this year was the most hopeful one for entering the Miracle Ridge! After all, a leader from Miracle Ridge had come, it was a golden opportunity to skyrocket!

Even Blood Blade had come all the way to Shenwu Kingdom to participate in the martial arts competition of the Four Major Sects for this opportunity. Even the Fire Palace had spent all the resources of the sect, and forged the two super-genius, Fire Spirit and Fire Tyrant.

It was easy to understand how rare this opportunity was.

Duan Qinghong, Sun Qiaomei, and Lixuan Qing also didn’t want to give up.

But then they thought about the participation of Lingdong’s Number One Assassin, and Eastern Ridge’s Top Genius, Blood Blade and Lin Zi’er in the war, and they immediately felt that their lives were shrouded in darkness.

How could they possibly defeat Blood Blade and Lin Zi’er?

After struggling for a long time, Li Xuanqing said, "Ah! Sect Leader, please forgive this disciple’s incompetence!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jiannan knew that Li Xuanqing had given up and immediately laughed, "It’s a good thing that you’re aware of your limitations!"

Sun Qiaomei also weakly said, "Sect Leader, I’m sorry!"

Su Jiannan laughed and said, "It’s alright. You all can just go and watch the show."

"What about you, Duan Qinghong?"

Su Jiannan turned to Duan Qinghong.

Li Xuanqing and Sun Qiaomei had both respectfully declined, deciding not to participate in this year’s Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition.

However, Duan Qinghong had yet to make a decision.

After hesitating for a long time, Duan Qinghong finally revealed a look of determination in his eyes and said, "Sect Leader, I want to go!"

Su Jiannan was taken aback. He had originally thought that Duan Qinghong would give up too, but who would have thought that he wanted to go?

This surprised Su Jiannan greatly.

Sun Qiaomei hastily said, "Senior Brother Duan Qinghong, you must think this through properly. The Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition is not a game. You could die in there!"

"Yes, the annual Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition is often a bloodbath. Senior Brother Duan Qinghong, you shouldn’t go. You won’t be able to overcome the Blood Blade, Lin Zi’er, or Duan Canghai!" Li Xuanqing also tried to persuade him.

However, Duan Qinghong resolutely said, "There’s no need to try to persuade me. Sect Leader, I want to participate, please give me a chance!"

"I’ve been stuck in the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm for three years now. If I can take this opportunity to enter the Miracle Ridge, I might have a chance to advance further in Martial Arts and step into the Human Elixir Realm!"

"If I miss this chance, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make any further progress in this lifetime!"

"Sect Leader, please give me a chance."

Duan Qinghong said resolutely.

Su Jiannan nodded and said, "Duan Qinghong, although I don’t want you to go, everyone has their own aspirations. The Spirit Sword Sect will not stop any disciple from pursuing their dreams!"

"Alright, since you insist on going, you will go with Lin Bai."

Su Jiannan said.

Lin Bai could see that although Duan Qinghong was considered a genius, he was far inferior to Lingdong’s Number One Assassin, Blood Blade, and Eastern Ridge’s Top Genius, Lin Zi’er!

If anything went wrong in the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition, Duan Qinghong could very likely lose his life.

But as Su Jiannan said, everyone has their own ambitions, and they should not prevent anyone from seizing their opportunity.

What if Duan Qinghong was really chosen by the Miracle Ridge and taken away?

It was still a possibility.

Afterward, Su Jiannan discussed other martial artists who could participate with Lin Bai and Duan Qinghong, but Lin Bai didn’t pay much attention.

In Lin Bai’s heart, there was only one person in this Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition, and that was Lin Zi’er!

All the others were not on his radar.

Su Jiannan said, "Since Lin Bai and Duan Qinghong have made their final decision, let’s conclude today’s meeting here."

"Elders and disciples, you can leave now."

"Lin Bai, Duan Qinghong, you two, come with me to the Forbidden Area!"

Hiss —

As soon as they heard that Su Jiannan was taking Lin Bai and Duan Qinghong to the Forbidden Area, all the martial artists present drew in a sharp breath.

Especially all the Elders, for they knew what kind of place the Forbidden Area was!

The Forbidden Area is where the Ancestor of Spirit Sword Sect passed away!
