The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 640 - 638: Zhao Longtu

Chapter 640: Chapter 638: Zhao Longtu

In the sky, two streams of light pierced through the cloud top, revealing two figures.

"Hahaha, Zi’er, I didn’t expect you to have reached the peak state through just three months of practicing the Wind-controlling Body Skill. You can even ride the wind now." The old man looked very pleased with Lin Zi’er and laughed.

Lin Zi’er flashed a charming smile, "It’s all thanks to your great teaching, godfather."

Zhao Longtu laughed in reply, "Haha, don’t say that. If it weren’t for your exceptional talent, even with my teaching, you could never have mastered it within three months."

"The Wind-controlling Body Skill is one of the rare flight martial techniques within the Heaven Level Third Grade. For a regular person to reach the peak state with it, they would require at least three to four years. But you accomplished it in just three short months."

"Just on account of this, you have already surpassed many of the exceptional talents in both Lingdong and Lingnan!"

"I dare to assert that currently within Lingnan, there’s no one with your kind of extraordinary skill!"

Zhao Longtu finished with a face full of approving smiles.

Lin Zi’er gently flew past, laughing as she said, "Godfather, shall we go down now?"

"Oh, we’re at the martial arts competition arena already, huh? Alright, we’ll go down. Today, I’m here to see my beloved goddaughter’s unparalleled elegance. Do not disappoint godfather, okay?"

Zhao Longtu exclaimed cheerfully.

"I’ll surely not disappoint you, godfather." Lin Zi’er returned with an obedient smile.

Subsequently, Zhao Longtu and Lin Zi’er descended from midair, landing beside Qing Haitian.

"Greetings to Senior Zhao Longtu!" Qing Haitian and Zhao Xiansheng both respectfully bowed.

Zhao Longtu had already been in the Canghai Yuntai Palace for three months. However, during these three months, apart from Lin Zi’er, he seldom ever met anyone from the palace. Even when Qing Haitian visited, he was immediately turned away.

"Heavens! They actually flew here!"

"Could he be a strong one in the Flying Sky Realm?"

"Greetings, Senior Zhao Longtu!"

At this moment, all the warriors uniformly bent their waists in a respectful bow, hollering reverently towards Zhao Longtu.

This was indeed a formidable expert!

One of the three Sect Leader Supremes of Miracle Ridge!

An exceptional tough one within the Flying Sky Realm!

Worthy of the respect of all warriors within Shenwu Kingdom.

Even the present Su Jiannan had to be extremely courteous, and didn’t dare show the slightest disrespect as he bowed.

Zhao Longtu chuckled, "Everyone, please rise. You needn’t be so overly polite. I have no other business here today, mainly came to witness the unparalleled elegance of my goddaughter."

"Randomly choose a few outstanding warriors to go to Miracle Ridge."

"The warriors up next for the competition, you all can display your skills."

"But while you display your prowess, you mustn’t harm my beloved goddaughter; otherwise, this old man here might just be unhappy."

At the surface, Zhao Longtu’s words seemed to carry a joking tone, but in actuality, he had given Lin Zi’er a surefire lifeline!

Hiss––

The whole place let out a stunned gasp.

If Lin Zi’er were hurt, he’d be unhappy?

Upon hearing this comment, amongst all the competing warriors, who would now dare to lay a hand on Lin Zi’er?

Are they tired of living? To upset an exceptional top-level expert within the Flying Sky Realm, under his wrath, the whole Shenwu Kingdom would be destroyed!

Besides, this top-level expert of the Flying Sky Realm also happens to be one of the three Sect Leader Supremes of Miracle Ridge. If he were to retaliate, he could call upon the experts of Miracle Ridge, which would be sufficient to wipe out the Lingdong 700 states!

This seemingly simple sentence granted Lin Zi’er absolute protection.

Upon hearing these words, Su Jiannan, the First Princess, Xue Jianke, and Prince Chu were all taken aback at that instant.

The words of a strong one in the Flying Sky Realm were indeed intimidating enough to deter everyone present.

Lin Zi’er laughed joyously, "Alright, godfather. With you here, who could possibly harm me? Now, let me go."

Zhao Longtu chuckled happily, "Very well, you go ahead."

From the conversation between Zhao Longtu and Lin Zi’er, one could deeply sense Zhao Longtu’s fondness for Lin Zi’er, treating her with the same care as if she were his biological daughter.

Zhao Longtu, due to an injury sustained during his youth, harbored a secret illness. His wounds had rendered him impotent and he had never married nor fathered any children in his life.

But when Zhao Longtu saw Lin Zi’er, he took a special liking to her.

During his time with Lin Zi’er, she had always treated him like her biological father. This awakened fatherly love in Zhao Longtu’s heart, a man who could not have his own children.

He even secretly vowed that he would do everything in his power to protect Lin Zi’er!

So, Zhao Longtu treated Lin Zi’er as if she were his own daughter, and even passed on many unique martial techniques from the Miracle Ridge for her to cultivate.

Lin Zi’er began descending the stairs, heading towards Canghai Yuntai Palace’s banner.

"Sister Lin Zi’er." Seeing Lin Zi’er approach, Duan Canghai immediately greeted her with a flattering smile.

Lin Zi’er smiled and said, "Brother Dexter Duan Cang Hai."

Upon her words, Lin Zi’er took her place under Canghai Yuntai Palace’s banner.

Ever since she appeared, she felt a pair of eyes watching her.

Lin Zi’er knew who the owner of those eyes was.

At that moment, Lin Zi’er stood still, her stunning face tilted as she looked towards the Spirit Sword Sect’s direction.

Standing under the Spirit Sword Sect’s banner, the white-robed man was looking at her with a face void of expression.

Lin Zi’er smiled slightly, a hint of undisguised contempt on her face. "Waste, you’re here!" she laughed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s face chilled, his eyes turning increasingly blood-red.

At this moment, the demonic seed in his right eye showed a hint of thriving desire!

Waste!

This word that came from Lin Zi’er’s mouth made Lin Bai unable to suppress the anger within him!

Clenching his fists, his fingernails digging into his flesh, gritting his teeth, he glared at Lin Zi’er. "Wait, at the upcoming martial arts competition, I will defeat you again!" he stated.

The moment Lin Zi’er and Lin Bai locked their gazes, a wind began to rise in the martial arts competition square.

They stared at each other with mutual hostility, eyes full of unrestrainable murderous intent.

"Is that Lin Zi’er?"

"The number one prodigy of the Lingdong 700 States!"

"She’s indeed a marvel to behold!"

"The highest Martial Soul grade in the Lingdong 700 States for a millennium, Heaven Level Fifth Grade!"

"She’s so beautiful. Lin Zi’er looks like a celestial maiden come down to earth, so dreamy and unreal, I like her so much, she’s so beautiful!"

Many warriors were staring at Lin Zi’er in shock and fascination.

"Hmph!"

Lin Zi’er withdrew her gaze, giving a disdainful cold laugh.

She was like a proud phoenix, her unparalleled aura and exceptional talents placed her above all others in this world. She stood arrogantly before all the other geniuses, making them look dull and insignificant in comparison.

Lin Bai also withdrew his gaze concurrently, his eyes were blood-red, his face ferocious.

At this moment, Qing Haitian said, "Since none of you have any other objections, let the disciples of the Four Major Sects select their flag bearers."

"This flag bearer will carry the flag of your sect to plant it on Qingtian Mountain on Xuankong Island."

"I need to remind you all, if the flag is destroyed halfway, it would mean that your sect has lost its qualification to contend for the Wending Qingtian Mountain!"

"Therefore, the flag bearer you select should be the strongest among your disciples! Because only the strongest person can ensure the protection of the flag from being destroyed by other warriors!"

Qing Haitian declared loudly.

"As per the rules established by the Four Major Sects, this year’s hosts are still us at the Canghai Yuntai Palace!"

"According to the rules, any disciple who wins the first place can enter the treasury of Canghai Yuntai Palace and take any treasure of their choice!"

"If none of you have any objections, finalize your flag bearer."
