The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 680 - 678: King of Sheng Yue!

Chapter 680: Chapter 678: King of Sheng Yue!

Upon hearing this voice, the twelve Human Elixir Realm experts from Shengyue Sect were all startled, and quickly turned their heads to look.

The Fire King instantly withdrew his hand, swiftly retreating.

Seeing the Fire King pull back, the sharp glint in Lin Bai’s eyes also disappeared, and he too turned to look.

The crowd separated, revealing a man in a grey robe, who seemed to be in his thirties. His face was calm and stoic with a hint of sexiness marked by stubble around his mouth. His eyes carried a sense of vicissitude as if they had experienced the trials and tribulations of the Primordial Era.

The treasured sword on his back emanated an endless chilling air.

With each step he took, an unrestrained level-three Sword Intent swept across the entire venue.

"King of Sheng Yue!"

On seeing this austere, youthful man, every martial artist in the venue began to exclaim in surprise.

"The King of Sheng Yue has come!"

All the martial artists retreated, their eyes stirring with a mixture of both excitement and disbelief as they watched the austere young man.

Upon seeing the King of Sheng Yue, Lin Bai too displayed a hint of curiosity on his face.

As Su Jiannan had previously revealed, the King of Sheng Yue, like Lin Bai, possessed a renowned reputation.

The King of Sheng Yue was known as the number one genius of Dayue Kingdom, Shengyue Sect’s most brilliant talent, and Lingdong 700 States’ top blade cultivator.

These three titles alone were enough to suffocate a multitude.

Moreover, he was also known for his unparalleled martial arts skills and secret techniques, truly peerless among his contemporaries.

Bai Xiaoxiao, spotting the appearance of the King of Sheng Yue, also gave him a longer glance.

She paid particular attention to this top blade cultivator of Lingdong.

If Lin Bai hadn’t made a sudden appearance in Shenwu Kingdom, the surrounding ten-odd Martial Arts Empires would undoubtedly have been dominated by the King of Sheng Yue.

"He is the King of Sheng Yue," Princess Chang observed with a glimmer in her eyes.

Lin Bai nodded in response with a smile.

"He is the number one genius of Dayue Kingdom, the invincible warrior of Sheng Yue Sect, the top blade cultivator among Lingdong’s 700 States. A figure unmatched in the present or past, powerful enough to suppress all opponents. He is also the dream lover of countless women," Princess Chang added with a laugh.

Lin Bai, who was cool with the initial comments, couldn’t resist when he heard "dream lover".

"Is he also yours?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Giving Lin Bai an exasperated look, Princess Chang replied, "In these past few years, the King of Sheng Yue’s renown has spread across all the Martial Arts Empires neighboring Dayue Kingdom. Who knows how many royal princesses dream of marrying him."

"There was a time when I also considered marrying the King of Sheng Yue as a worthy choice."

"But, now I have a better option..."

With a sweet smile, Princess Chang affectionately gazed at Lin Bai.

Hearing Princess Chang’s response, Lin Bai asked coldly, "Who do you think is more powerful, him or me?"

Caught between the two, Princess Chang struggled to answer, "I know you are powerful, but the King of Sheng Yue is no easy adversary, and he is also the top talent in Dayue Kingdom and the top blade cultivator among Lingdong’s 700 States. The most important part is his cultivation of Martial Skills and Martial Soul..."

Lin Bai interrupted her dismissively, "I don’t want to know the background and identity of a man who is supposed to die."

"At the Forbidden Summit tomorrow, if I don’t slice him down with my sword, I will perform suicide at the Forbidden Summit of Dayue Kingdom!"

Lin Bai rudely interrupted Princess Chang yet again.

Having said his piece, Lin Bai turned his gaze back to the King of Sheng Yue, only this time, his eyes held a visible hint of contempt.

Seeing Lin Bai in such a state, Princess Chang could only sigh in helplessness.

Lin Bai now seemed like a petulant child unjustly treated, brimming with resentment...

Princess Chang chuckled softly, "Are you jealous?"

Lin Bai blushed in embarrassment, stammering,"Me, me, I’m not. Would I get jealous of a dead man?"

On witnessing Lin Bai’s flustered state, Princess Chang could not help but smile, feeling the sweetness that comes with seeing the one you love turning green with envy.

Princess Chang replied seriously, "Alright, stop being childish, do not sulk like a little kid. I was merely giving you an objective analysis of King of Sheng Yue’s Martial Skills and Martial Soul."

Lin Bai replied seriously as well, "I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t listen. I do not want to know about his Martial Soul and Martial Skills. No matter how strong he is, he will die beneath my sword tomorrow for sure. If you don’t believe me, just wait and watch."

Princess Chang looked helpless.

Lin Bai was continuing to sulk, acting like a child, and flatly ignored any advice.

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, the King of Sheng Yue gradually made his way towards the Inviting Moon Tower. He took a glance at Lin Bai, then turned his gaze towards Bai Xiaoxiao standing next to him. His cold face suddenly lit up with a touch of delight.

Then, he addressed the twelve Human Elixir Realm elders of Shengyue Sect, "If we want to kill Lin Bai, there is no need for the esteemed elders to take action. I can easily do it myself."

"The honorable elders are of high standing, stooping low to kill a Half-Step Divine Pill Realm martial artist would indeed be beneath them. Let me handle this trivial matter," the King of Sheng Yue told the twelve elders from Sheng Yue Sect.

The man in the second layer of the Human Elixir Realm among the twelve elders from Sheng Yue Sect then said, "You make a valid point. It does seem beneath us Human Elixir Realm cultivators to bully a Half-Step Divine Pill Realm martial artist."

"Very well then, we will leave this greenhorn to you."

The old man, who was in the second layer of the Human Elixir Realm, looked at Lin Bai with contempt.

The King of Sheng Yue chuckled, "Rest assured esteemed elders, killing him will be as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs."

"Hahaha, laughter inducing indeed." Lin Bai burst into a careless fit of laughter.

On hearing Lin Bai’s laughter, the King of Sheng Yue turned his head to look at him. With a smirk of contempt, he didn’t even bother taking another look at Lin Bai.

Soon after, the King of Sheng Yue turned his gaze towards Princess Chang and the coldness on his face gave way to softness, "I never expected to meet Miss Bai here, that indeed is my good fortune."

Princess Chang responded with a light smile, "Long time no see, King of Sheng Yue."

The King of Sheng Yue smiled back, "I was intending to visit Shenwu Kingdom a few days ago in hopes of finding Princess Chang so we could travel and play together, just like we did two years ago in Shen Feng Kingdom..."

Buzz, buzz—

The moment the King of Sheng Yue said those words.

Standing next to Lin Bai, Bai Xiaoxiao unexpectedly felt a wave of cold murderous intent emanating from Lin Bai.

"You’ve been travelling and playing with him?" Lin Bai asked.

Princess Chang gently said, "Two years ago, the newly ascended Emperor of Shen Feng Kingdom invited neighboring empires to celebrate. I was representing Shenwu Kingdom and the King of Sheng Yue represented Sheng Yue Sect."

"Since we ran into each other on the way, we travelled together to Shen Feng Kingdom. It wasn’t exactly travelling and playing, was it?" Princess Chang curiously asked Lin Bai.

"Humph," Lin Bai snorted, his face clouded in gloom.

Princess Chang giggled, "Are you jealous again?"

Lin Bai calmly retorted, "It seems like the King of Sheng Yue is quite interested in you."

Princess Chang carelessly replied, "I’m not sure..."

In every aspect, including stature, beauty or capability, Princess Chang stood out among all the princesses of the dynasties in Lingdong, captivating thousands of people.

Particularly, her valiant spirit that equaled a man’s prowess had conquered numerous men’s hearts.
