The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 739 - 737: Tied for First Place?

Chapter 739: Chapter 737: Tied for First Place?

Lin Bai unsheathed his sword, charging at the silver-armored man.

Moving like a bolt of lightning, his body cast multiple waning shadows. His terrifying Sword Intention of the early third stage struck the silver-armored man first. Then, under Lin Bai’s cold gaze, countless Sword Shadows slashed down fiercely onto the silver-armored man.

"This stroke alone was enough to kill the silver-armored man."

Lin Bai was extremely confident in the power of this stroke since he had exerted ninety percent of his strength. The silver-armored man would undoubtedly be unable to resist it.

But a surprising scene occurred.

Clang—

When Lin Bai’s unstoppable sword stroke fell, the silver-armored man crossed his arms in front of his chest. The sword shadow hit his double swords, forcing the silver-armored man to retreat three or four steps. But, amazingly, the silver-armored man perfectly blocked it, without the slightest harm to himself.

"How is this possible? Did he switch tactics?"

Lin Bai gasped in disbelief.

Immediately afterward, the silver-armored man resisted Lin Bai’s stroke. With a simultaneous movement of his double swords, they swept across like wild dragons emerging from the sea. The unstoppable Sword Qi tore the wind and clouds, sweeping away fiercely.

"Not good." Lin Bai cried out.

The Golden War Body instantly condensed. Lin Bai launched a powerful counterattack, resisting one of the silver-armored man’s strokes, but the other struck Lin Bai’s left shoulder.

Squelch—

Blood splattered everywhere. Lin Bai retreated a hundred meters. Looking at his left shoulder, there was a blood hole the size of a fingertip, continuously gushing blood out.

"Something’s wrong, this silver-armored man’s moves are sophisticated."

Lin Bai cried out in alarm.

The silver-armored man took a step forward, his speed greatly increased, driving wild winds to howl. His double swords slashed down angrily, filling the sky with Sword Shadows.

Boom boom boom—

A series of Sword Marks continuously landed close to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai desperately fled.

"What’s going on?"

"That’s the special wooden human of the fifteenth pass, the Silver-armored man."

"It’s been ten years since I last saw a silver-armored man."

"This silver-armored man is famously powerful in combat. Ordinary warriors can’t even resist a single stroke of his."

At this moment, other warriors turned their heads to look at Lin Bai in the fifteenth pass.

At this moment, Lin Bai was being continuously forced into retreat by the silver-armored man, completely unable to resist.

Bai Xiaoxiao said solemnly, "The silver-armored man’s attacks are too fast, and each stroke is so powerful..."

Lin Bai continuously retreated, resisting desperately amidst the confusion.

"Why is the silver-armored man’s attack pattern exactly the same as mine?"

Lin Bai was stunned. When he recognized the silver-armored man’s sword path, he felt astonished because the silver-armored man’s sword path was exactly the same as Lin Bai’s.

Each move was fierce, each move was lethal.

Even if the opponent left a negligible flaw, he would seize it instantly to launch a powerful attack and kill the opponent with a single stroke.

This sword path was aggressive, overbearing, and relentless.

It was the same as Lin Bai’s favorite sword path.

Lin Bai’s sword path was: indifferent to life and death, fight if you don’t agree, charge first and discuss later. If we win, we slay the opponent. If we lose, we come up with a new plan.

In any case, just rush forward and hack wildly first. Cut them down and talk later.

This type of sword path was extraordinarily domineering, cold, and unyielding. Once suppressed by the opponent, you would be unable to resist. When the opponent defended in a panic, the silver-armored man would find a tiny flaw. Even if it was negligible, he could seize it and defeat the opponent.

"Ha ha, is this how the warriors I’ve fought against in the past felt under my sword?"

"Constantly being pressured?"

Lin Bai gave a bitter smile.

Now that he had seen a sword path identical to his own in the silver-armored man, Lin Bai found it somewhat amusing.

In the past, it was always him who used this sword path to attack opponents. He hadn’t expected to encounter the same thing himself now.

"Alright, if his sword path is very similar to mine, then defeating him shouldn’t be too difficult!"

"Nobody knows better than me about the shortcomings of my own sword path!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Immediately, Lin Bai’s form flickered, launching an attack from the side of the silver-armored man.

There was a loud bang!

A sword aura hit the silver-armored man’s shoulder.

Creaking sounds ensued—

The silver-armored man’s left shoulder was covered in wood shavings, and his arm fell to the ground.

Lin Bai sneered, "This kind of sword path is domineering, but it only cares about the opponent in front, ignoring those on the side and behind."

"The biggest flaw of this sword path is that it is a gamble, once the attention is all on the opponent in front, an attack from behind would be decisive."

"I like this sword path, so I understand its flaws better than you!"

"My Feng Lei Divine Wings and my Golden War Body, along with my reaction speed, can perfectly evade these flaws."

"But what about you? As a mechanical puppet, can you react as quickly?"

Lin Bai moved instantaneously, turning into a waning shadow from behind the mechanical puppet.

Leaping into the air, his sharp sword aura was even more dazzling than starlight.

A penetrating strike came down.

There was a bang.

This sword aura directly pierced through the head of the silver-armored man.

Thud, thud—

The silver-armored man knelt on the ground, his body collapsed, turning into a pile of fragments.

"Lin Bai has broken through the fifteenth level!"

"Incredible, even the silver-armored man is no match for Lin Bai!"

"My God, is Lin Bai going to continue the challenge?"

Many warriors screamed, seeing Lin Bai break through the fifteenth level and not leave.

"Big Brother He Qian has broken through the fifteenth level."

This time, Xiao Zhang across him shouted with joy, too.

The surprised exclamation spread, and all the warriors turned their heads to look.

They just saw He Qian in the fifteenth level, his face sharp, a few bloodstains on his white robe, killing the silver-armored man with his sword.

Thirteenth level, He Qian broke with one sword.

Fourteenth level, He Qian also broke with one sword.

While Lin Bai was entangled with the silver-armored man at the fifteenth level, He Qian used all his strength to sweep the fifteenth level with one sword, catching up with Lin Bai’s footsteps.

"He Qian also broke through the fifteenth level!"

"Look, the number one on the Potential List, both He Qian and Lin Bai’s names have appeared."

"They’re tied for first!"

"There’s a tie for first place, it’s unbelievable."

A lot of warriors were stunned.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Bai and said, "Lin Bai, you’ve met your match."

Standing in the Wooden Puppet Alley, Lin Bai looked at He Qian from afar and smiled slightly, "Interesting. However, the silver-armored man of the fifteenth level is not too strong. As long as we pay more attention, we can easily defeat it. There’s nothing surprising about it."

Lin Bai said so offhand.

But if others heard this sentence, they would probably be terrified.

The silver-armored man of the fifteenth level could wipe out even masters of the Human Elixir Realm First Layer!

An elder in front of He Qian in the Wooden Puppet Alley said with a smile, "Congratulations, He Qian, you’ve broken through the fifteenth level. According to the Potential List, you’re tied for first with Lin Bai."

"Tied for first? Ridiculous, I, He Qian, have never condescended to tie with anyone!"

"Besides, who does he think he is, also worthy of tying for first with me?"

"Since I return to Wooden Puppet Alley this time, I must break the record left by Lin Duo!"

He Qian sneered.

"Continue the challenge!"

He Qian said decisively.
