The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 696 - 694: Thousand Star Bead!

Chapter 696: Chapter 694: Thousand Star Bead!

The Saint Moon Sect Master and Lin Bai rushed one after the other into the Forbidden Zone.

The complexion of the Saint Moon Sect Master was extremely haggard, fleeing in a wretched state toward the location of the Thousand Star Bead.

Inside a mountain cave.

The Saint Moon Sect Master was in a state of dire distress, his face filled with panic as he entered. Inside the cave, on a stone platform, floated a fist-sized pearl emitting an enchanting glow.

"The Thousand Star Bead!"

"The Thousand Star Bead!"

Seeing the Thousand Star Bead, the eyes of the Saint Moon Sect Master revealed boundless joy.

The Thousand Star Bead was the unparalleled treasure within the Saint Moon Sect.

Once the Thousand Star Bead began to operate, not only could it trigger the Saint Moon Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, but also the power within the bead could solidify into a Thousand Stars Protection Shield, which was difficult to break even for a Human Elixir Realm Warrior.

Surrounded by the Thousand Stars Protection Shield of the Thousand Star Bead, even if Earth Elixir Realm or Heavenly Elixir Realm came, they would not easily break it.

So when the Saint Moon Sect Master saw the Thousand Star Bead, his face revealed such wild joy.

Once he acquired the Thousand Star Bead and activated it, inside the Thousand Stars Protection Shield he could delay until the time for Lin Bai to use the Great Desolation Skill expired.

After the time for the Great Desolation Skill expired, Lin Bai would enter a period of weakness, as helpless as a chick.

The Saint Moon Sect was originally derived from the Desolate Sect, and he was quite clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the Desolate Sect’s handed-down secret skills.

"Thousand Star Bead!"

The voice of the Saint Moon Sect Master was shaking with excitement.

Because he knew, once he got the Thousand Star Bead, Lin Bai would not be able to kill him!

"Thank you for leading me to the Thousand Star Bead!"

Just at that moment, from behind the Saint Moon Sect Master, came a cold voice.

Hearing this, the face of the Saint Moon Sect Master changed, his eyes widened.

Splat——

Just at that moment, a blade pierced through the throat of the Saint Moon Sect Master, spilling blood on the stone platform where the Thousand Star Bead was located.

The hand that the Saint Moon Sect Master had stretched out was only three inches away from the Thousand Star Bead!

"Er——"

The Saint Moon Sect Master gave a painful moan, and with a thud, he fell to the ground, blood flowing everywhere, completely losing his vitality.

After the Saint Moon Sect Master fell, Lin Bai appeared from behind him.

Lin Bai’s face lit up with joy as he held his Treasure Sword and walked toward the Thousand Star Bead.

With a swift grab, Lin Bai snatched the Thousand Star Bead from the stone platform.

The moment the Thousand Star Bead left the stone platform, the whole Saint Moon Sect started to tremble, as if something had collapsed.

The Thousand Star Bead was connected to the Saint Moon Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, and this cave was the Array’s core.

Now that the Thousand Star Bead had left the core, the Mountain Protection Array of the Saint Moon Sect instantly collapsed.

Holding the Thousand Star Bead, Lin Bai didn’t even had time to rejoice, as the power within him was gradually dissipating, and a sense of powerlessness gradually appeared in him.

"Not good! The time for the Great Desolation Skill is almost up!"

"I have to leave the Saint Moon Sect quickly!"

Lin Bai didn’t have time to properly look at the Thousand Star Bead twice more, and after quickly placing it in his Storage Bag, he turned into a waning shadow and quickly darted out of the Saint Moon Sect.

On his way, any warrior who blocked Lin Bai was instantly killed by his sword.

In this way, Lin Bai fought his way out, breaking through the blood-soaked path, escaping from the Saint Moon Sect.

Within a forest, 10,000 miles away from the Saint Moon Sect.

"Where did he go?"

"Where did that damned bastard run off to?"

"I don’t believe it, more than a hundred thousand disciples of the Saint Moon Sect can’t kill him?"

At this moment, over a hundred thousand disciples of the Saint Moon Sect rushed into the forest, searching for Lin Bai’s trace.

Lin Bai was fleeing swiftly through the forest.

A sense of powerlessness and weakness made it difficult for Lin Bai to even mobilize his True Qi.

"I must go!"

Lin Bai found a secluded place and immediately took out his Flying Sword.

The moment Lin Bai stepped on the Flying Sword, he transformed into a golden light, directly leaving the forest.

Whoosh——

No one noticed a golden light shooting into the Cloud Sky from within the darkness.

The next moment, that golden light had already traveled a hundred thousand miles away.

Standing on the Flying Sword, Lin Bai’s face was pale as a sheet. The feeling of weakness emanating from his body made it hard for him to mobilize his True Qi. His Flying Sword started to dangerously wobble and began to drop.

At this very moment.

Lin Bai stood above the clouds, seeing the Spirit Sword Sect members below constantly fleeing.

Whoosh——

Lin Bai’s face lit up with joy as he steered the Flying Sword downward.

"Sect Leader, there is a golden light above us!"

Many of the Spirit Sword Sect Elders raised their heads in surprise.

Jian Xuan also curiously looked up.

Surprised, Su Jiannan exclaimed with joy, "That’s Lin Bai’s Flying Sword! Lin Bai has escaped from the Saint Moon Sect and has come to reunite with us."

Looking at the golden light, Jian Xuan said with shock, "No, Master, it’s not right. He is not slowing down, he is falling straight down from ten thousand meters above!"

"Quickly rescue Junior Brother Lin Bai, otherwise, falling from such a height, he will be smashed to pulp!"

Jian Xuan yelled anxiously.

Worrying, Su Jiannan said, "Ji Bei, Ji Bai!"

"We’re on it!"

Ji Bei and Ji Bai immediately flew off, stepping on tree tops, staring at the golden light continuously falling from the sky!

Whoosh——

Both of them simultaneously leapt upward, catching a weakened Lin Bai while still three hundred meters above the ground.

Concerned, Ji Bei asked, "Lin Bai, are you alright?"

Lin Bai’s face was extremely pale as if he had lost half his life; he didn’t even have the strength to speak.

Hearing Ji Bei’s question, Lin Bai just shook his head.

Carrying Lin Bai, Ji Bei returned to Su Jiannan.

Anxiously, Su Jiannan asked, "Lin Bai, how did you get into this condition? Are you seriously hurt?"

Looking as pale as a ghost, Lin Bai weakly shook his head and with the last of his strength, he said, "Go to the border, the First Princess will meet us there."

Seeing Lin Bai in this state, Su Jiannan’s eyes filled with tears, choking up he said, "Good, good child. It is the Spirit Sword Sect’s great fortune to have you."

Ji Bei said, "It seems like Lin Bai cast some sort of secret skill that exhausted his potential. He doesn’t even have the strength to speak right now."

"Sect Master, since Lin Bai says that the First Princess is waiting for us at the border, we should head there quickly."

"As for the peerless secret manuals of the Spirit Sword Sect, we can retrieve them after we return to the Spirit Sword Sect and take a short rest."

Su Jiannan nodded, "Alright, let’s find the First Princess at the border first!"

Ji Bei carried Lin Bai.

Su Jiannan carried Jian Xuan.

At present, in the Spirit Sword Sect, the two who were proclaimed as the most outstanding geniuses in five thousand years were being carried away. The sight was indeed somewhat ridiculous.

Looking at the weakened Lin Bai, Jian Xuan was deeply moved.

Without Lin Bai’s desperate resistance against the three Mysterious People and the Saint Moon Sect Master, how could he have possibly seen the light of day again so easily?

In order to rescue him, Lin Bai paid such a heavy price and nearly perished in the Saint Moon Sect. This made Jian Xuan feel guilty and remorseful.

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, in the future, your enemies will be my enemies!"

"If you ever need my help, just let me know. Even if it means going to the sky to slaughter a god, I will unhesitatingly do it!"

Looking at the weakened Lin Bai, Jian Xuan stated firmly.

With hardly any energy left to speak, Lin Bai managed a weak smile at Jian Xuan.

Listening to Jian Xuan’s declaration, Su Jiannan said, "In the future, anyone who dares to bully you two is an unforgivable enemy of the Spirit Sword Sect. Even if it takes us a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand years, we will cast them into a land of no return!"
