The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 750 - 748: Master Lin!

Chapter 750: Chapter 748: Master Lin!

Upon Pei Ji’s departure,

Bai Xiaoxiao quickly walked up to Lin Bai, whispering, "Lin Bai, how is your injury?"

Clutching his chest, Lin Bai responded grimly, "My sternum is shattered, and my internal organs are damaged. It would take at least half a month to fully recover."

"And the lingering problems from past injuries have resurfaced."

Lin Bai spoke softly, his face pale.

Bai Xiaoxiao, supporting Lin Bai, said, "That’s probably for the best. After all, you are currently the top of the Potential List, and Liu Jing Xing has been taken away by the elders of the Fist Daoist Courtyard. For a short while, we can have some peace."

Lin Bai indifferently remarked, "Perhaps, I just hope to peacefully make it to the day of the Miracle Ridge examination!"

"Once I withstand the Giant God’s Intent, I will be free of my shackles!"

"Even if I don’t become a disciple of the Miracle Ridge, I could go on my own to the Primordial World on the ridge, hunting demon beasts to enhance my cultivation!"

"It’s this Giant God’s Intent that forced me to take part in the Miracle Ridge examination."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked solemnly at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai’s face was clouded with gloom.

Bai Xiaoxiao knew that if Lin Bai wasn’t genuinely worried about the Giant God’s Intent, he might have already left Tianding City by now.

But Bai Xiaoxiao also knew Lin Bai had no other options.

Lin Bai had to rely on the magic circle in the mountain range from the final stage of the Three Stages and Five Obstacles of the Miracle Ridge examination. This circle would help him withstand the attack of the Giant God’s Intent, affording Lin Bai full confidence in resisting it.

Otherwise, with Lin Bai’s current strength, solely relying on his own methods to resist the Giant God’s Intent, would perhaps not be easy.

"Moreover, I feel that a Divine Elixir is beginning to form in my Dantian."

"In at most three months, even if I don’t breakthrough, a Divine Elixir will form autonomously within me."

"Because I have already reached the peak of my current realm."

Lin Bai’s face was unusually grave.

If it wasn’t for the proximity of the Human Elixir Realm, Lin Bai would not have been so passive now.

Bai Xiaoxiao said, "I understand. In that case, take good care of your injuries in the following months. After three months, face your fate with sincerity."

Lin Bai gave a bitter smile, "There’s no escape. In the battle of destiny between me and the Giant God Clan, only one can survive."

Bai Xiaoxiao helped Lin Bai walk out of the Wooden Puppet Alley.

At the plaza in front of the alley, many warriors were watching Lin Bai with astonishment.

"Senior Brother Lin Bai."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Lin Bai."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai is really amazing, he actually passed the twentieth stage."

"..."

Cheers resounded everywhere.

However, after Lin Bai passed the twentieth stage, no twenty-first stage appeared.

It was probably because Pei Ji had casually turned off Wooden Puppet Alley when he subdued Liu Jing Xing. Otherwise, since Lin Bai was severely injured by Liu Jing Xing, if the twenty-first stage were to begin, Lin Bai would have been unquestionably killed by the wooden puppet.

Lin Bai had no intention of continuing the challenge since he was severely injured at this moment.

At this time, Qi Yao approached with a smile, calling out, "Master Lin."

Lin Bai shook his head, saying, "Qi Yao, it was just a joke, no need to take it seriously."

Qi Yao responded earnestly, "Since I lost, I must admit defeat. And moreover, I admire your tremendous talent in the Wooden Puppet Alley, Master Lin!"

Lin Bai shook his head, his face pale.

At this moment, Lin Bai looked at the crowd and asked, "Where is Yao Feng?"

Qi Yao laughed, "Him? Ha, when he saw you coming out of the Wooden Puppet Alley, he turned tail and ran."

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "If he can’t take a loss, he shouldn’t bet."

At this time, He Qian, brandishing his Treasure Sword, walked up and stared at Lin Bai fiercely, saying, "Lin Bai, will you participate in the Miracle Ridge examination three months from now?"

Lin Bai smiled and asked, "What is it you wish to tell me?"

He Qian declared, "If you’re participating, I hope you have the ability to reach the Fifth Stage. I’ll definitely beat you there!"

"I will reclaim the title of the number one genius and First Sword Cultivator of Tianding City with my own strength!"

"I’ll be waiting for you."

After He Qian finished, his eyes were gleaming with golden light as he turned around and walked off with an ominous air on his face.

Lin Bai gave a bitter smile, not taking He Qian seriously.

"He Qian just declared war on Lin Bai!"

"Right, from the way He Qian is speaking, it seems like he’s planning to fight Lin Bai to the death at the appraisal on the Miracle Ridge!"

"Now this will be worth watching."

Many warriors showed a look of shock upon hearing He Qian’s words.

This news, like a raging storm, swept through the entirety of Tianding City.

The two unmatched Sword Cultivators of Tianding City decided to settle the score during the appraisal on the Miracle Ridge.

This news instantly caused Tianding City to explode with excitement. Countless warriors were eagerly awaiting the appraisal on the Miracle Ridge three months later.

They also wanted to see who, between Lin Bai and He Qian, was the true number one genius and Sword Cultivator of Tianding City.

Bai Xiaoxiao, supporting Lin Bai, quickly returned to Lin Zhai.

Upon their arrival.

Lin Bai entered the Secret Chamber and began his healing retreat.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaoxiao went off to cultivate.

At the same time.

Outside Lin Zhai, in a Wine Building not too far away.

In the Elegant Pavilion on the second floor.

Ye Suxin stood on the balcony, her hand gently rubbing her belly, which felt as though a cube of ice was inside, releasing a terrifyingly cold aura.

"Miss, I was about to take action just then when Pei Ji already had, so I did not act rashly," Ling Wu emerged from the shadows to stand beside Ye Suxin.

Ye Suxin said slowly, "Find out how he got mixed up with Liujing Xing."

Ling Wu said, "Miss, I’ve already found out. Liujing Xing’s two nephews, Liu Ben and Liu Hai, were killed by Lin Bai on their way to Tianding City so..."

Ye Suxin mused, "Liu Ben and Liu Hai... those names seem familiar..."

Ling Wu responded, "Miss, you’ve forgotten. You, Liu Ben, and Liu Hai were all born in the same month. At that time, the Director of the Fist Daoist Courtyard, delighted with his new grandson, threw a large banquet at the Fist Daoist Courtyard. All who came, regardless of their origins, just having wished the Director ’Congratulations on your new grandson, filling your halls with children and grandchildren,’ were awarded a hundred points... "

"On that very day, the Fist Daoist Courtyard gave away nearly ten million points, which shocked the Miracle Ridge!"

"Because of the Director of the Fist Daoist Courtyard’s generosity overshadowed your birth, it provoked a particular displeasure from your father..."

Ye Suxin recalled, "I remember now. Liu Ben and Liu Hai were sent to the Holy Night Dynasty at age five. The Director of the Fist Daoist Courtyard even personally visited my father to seek his favor..."

Ling Wu chuckled, "Yes."

Ye Suxin shook her head with a sigh, "Oh, how did he manage to provoke that lunatic, the Director of the Fist Daoist Courtyard..."

Ling Wu stood there silently.

Ye Suxin said, "Elder Ling, there’s something I would like to ask of you."

Ling Wu nodded with a smile, "Feel free to command, Miss."

Ye Suxin requested, "I need your help in arranging for ten Shadow Guards to protect Lin Bai."

Ling Wu replied, "Calling for Shadow Guards isn’t a problem, but I need your father’s approval to deploy them..."

Ye Suxin interjected, "Elder Ling, as I mentioned before, I don’t want my father to know about this. Please keep this secret for us."

"Understood."

Ling Wu’s eyes showed a hint of doubt, but he agreed in the end.

"Miss, are you sure it’s worth it?" Ling Wu asked after a long silence.

Ye Suxin shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Regardless, I don’t want the child I’m carrying to be born without a father..."
