The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 760 - 758: Flame Giant!

Chapter 760: Chapter 758: Flame Giant!

Lin Bai arrived before the Light Gate of the first checkpoint, seeing that not far off a token enveloped in thunderbolt was floating.

Lin Bai walked over, took the token, and made his way to the Light Gate.

He waved the token in front of the Light Gate, which promptly opened in response.

Subsequently, Lin Bai stored the token in his Storage Bag and entered the illusion of the second checkpoint.

In the second checkpoint’s illusion, a field of scorched earth lay spread out.

Within the cracks in the parched earth, roiling and fierce magma surged.

"The Light Gate of the second checkpoint must be beneath this magma world," Lin Bai speculated.

Lin Bai’s eyes shone brightly, the Qingge Sword in his hand radiating a towering, sharp aura.

In that single moment, the Feng Lei Divine Wings carried Lin Bai’s body straight into the Cloud Sky, Thunderbolt Sword One furiously slashing down at the world below.

A Heaven-reaching, Earth-penetrating Sword Qi shattered the horizon and swept over all things.

The powerful Sword Qi struck the earth.

Boom, Boom, Boom-

A deafening explosion resounded.

The Sword Qi hit the ground, tearing the landscape apart, directly shattering the ground and forcefully cleaving through the magma beneath.

At this instant, Lin Bai’s Eyes flashed, his entire physique shrouded in True Qi, charging furiously downwards.

Whoosh-

Lin Bai, following the Sword Qi, plunged into the magma world.

Sword Qi led the way, its massive force splitting aside the magma, allowing Lin Bai an obstacle-free path as he hurtled a kilometer downwards.

In the magma world, a blaze that seemed capable of incinerating the heavens enveloped Lin Bai, and he could slightly smell his own body being roasted.

"Found it."

Lin Bai lowered his head to see, a kilometer beneath the magma, a gate of fire red stood tall.

"It was this easy to find it? It’s too straightforward." Lin Bai excitedly smiled and immediately darted forward.

Just as Lin Bai neared the Light Gate, the magma around him suddenly surged violently, and countless magma forms ferociously attacked Lin Bai.

"What the hell!"

Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise and immediately looked around.

Countless magma forms gushed forth before the Light Gate, congealing to form a mammoth Flame Giant.

Roar-

The Flame Giant roared, the world collapsed, magma rolled, and it devoured everything under heaven.

"I knew it wouldn’t be so simple! Damn it!" Lin Bai’s face underwent a drastic change, he agilely retreated, his True Qi shielding his body, protecting him from the terrifying temperature of the magma.

Lin Bai watched the Magma Giant appearing in front of the Light Gate cautiously.

Immediately, Lin Bai flickered, attempting to bypass the Flame Giant and enter the Light Gate.

But the moment Lin Bai moved, the Flame Giant’s pair of flame-emitting eyes stared at him, and it swung its fists, roaring at heaven and earth and stirring up the power of the entire magma world, and ferociously attacked.

"Oh, no!"

Lin Bai swiftly retreated, dispatching a wave of Sword Qi to resist Flame Giant’s punch.

"It appears I can’t step into the Light Gate without defeating you first, is that so?"

"Alright then, come at me!"

Instantly, Lin Bai felt if he didn’t defeat the Flame Giant in front of him, he would probably not be able to enter the illusion of the third checkpoint!

"Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

The Qingge Sword shone brightly and a surging sword cry resounded.

Lin Bai held his sword and charged forward, angrily cleaving the firmament with a single slash.

Sword Qi cleaved through everything, instantly severing one of the Flame Giant’s arms.

Lin Bai’s face broke into a smile.

Severing one arm of the Flame Giant, Lin Bai thought, would surely weaken its physical strength significantly.

However, before Lin Bai could even celebrate, he went speechless at what unfolded before his eyes.

The Flame Giant, his arm severed by Lin Bai, had yet to squeal in pain, when countless magma immediately reformed an arm on the Flame Giant’s severed limb.

Roar-

The arm congealed, the Flame Giant roared and threw a punch at Lin Bai.

One strike caused Lin Bai to retreat back by a hundred meters!

Lin Bai gritted his teeth, his eyes bloody red he charged forth once again. Three resonating waves of Sword Qi soared through the air, tearing through the magma, and struck the Flame Giant’s chest and arms.

Snap, Snap, Snap-

A series of loud sounds echoed; the Flame Giant’s chest and arms were severed by Lin Bai.

But an instant later, endless magma again repaired its body.

"Can’t it be killed?"

Lin Bai exclaimed in astonishment, "If it can’t be killed, then how can I pass?"

Lin Bai’s complexion tightened, somewhat surprised.

After contemplating for a while, a peculiar smile gradually surfaced on Lin Bai’s solemn face.

"I don’t need to defeat the Flame Giant at all, I just need to find the token."

"The pass token... it’s in its heart!"

A spark of enlightenment flashed in Lin Bai’s eyes: "I have a way."

Roar——

The Flame Giant roared wildly, stirring the magma with its fist and barraging Lin Bai.

The vast power sent Lin Bai’s internal organs into turmoil!

"Divine Sword Thunder Control Skill!"

The moment Lin Bai saw the Flame Giant’s fist hurtling towards him, a flash of lightning appeared on his Qingge Sword.

Whoosh——

A sword aura light pillar that pierced the sky burst out from Lin Bai’s sword.

Hisss——

The sword aura struck the Flame Giant’s fist, instantly shattering the fist and unrelentingly charging towards the Flame Giant’s chest, punching a ten-meter-sized hole in it.

From this large hole, a flame token was knocked flying into the magma.

"Now’s the time!"

Lin Bai exclaimed, face lighting up with joy.

"Sword-controlling Skill!"

The flying sword came out of the scabbard, Lin Bai stepped on it, turning into a golden light and rushed over.

Swish—!

Just as the large hole in the Flame Giant’s chest hadn’t yet been healed by the magma, a golden light shot through the large hole, directly landing in front of the light gate.

With swift hands and keen eyes, Lin Bai snatched the flame token into his hand.

Roar——

The Flame Giant had returned to its original state, sensing Lin Bai was behind him, it immediately let out an angry roar, abruptly turning back, reaching for Lin Bai again, intending to prevent Lin Bai from entering the third challenge.

"Big guy, I’m done playing with you."

Lin Bai sneered, his flying sword directly brought him to the light gate. He opened the gate and dashed into the third challenge.

Under the threat of the Flame Giant, Lin Bai didn’t even have the time to look at the rankings on the light gate.

Upon entering the light gate, Lin Bai immediately found himself in another world.

"Is this the third challenge? Knife and sword?"

Lin Bai steadied himself, looking at a vast martial arts arena before him.

At this moment in the martial arts arena, there were two clay sculptures standing ten meters apart.

These two clay sculptures were about nine feet tall, clad in battle armor, one with a golden knife in its hand, and the other with a silver sword.

"Are there only these two clay sculptures here?"

Lin Bai looked at them, somewhat puzzled.

Crack——

Suddenly at this moment, there were bursting sounds emanating from the towering clay sculptures. Cracks appeared all over their bodies, with fragments falling off.

In an instant, both clay sculptures raised their golden knife and silver sword, rushing furiously towards Lin Bai.

Whoosh——

An overwhelmingly domineering atmosphere, like a pack of wolves and tigers, immediately struck Lin Bai.

Lin Bai retreated three or four steps in a fluster, his voice heavy: "Do I have to defeat them to pass?"

Lin Bai’s pupils whirled, immediately causing his Qingge Sword to glow, sending sword auras to bombard the two clay sculptures.

The sword Qi was split into two and came crashing down.

Clang Clang——

Two crisp sounds came. Lin Bai’s two terrifying sword Qi didn’t even manage to damage the clay sculptures.

"How is this possible!"

Lin Bai looked horrified.

Just then, the clay sculpture with the golden knife reached Lin Bai, its knife fiercely slashing down, sending a golden blade aura ripping through the sky, coming crashing down.

Lin Bai’s hair stood on end, delaying his dodging with a looming "not good".

This golden blade aura slashed into the ground, leaving a sword mark about two hundred meters long, sinking three meters deep into the ground. It was incredibly terrifying!

"My god, if this knife were to slash me, I’d probably be killed on the spot."

Lin Bai’s face became slightly more solemn.

"It seems that unless I shatter these two clay sculptures, the light gate of the third illusion challenge will not appear."

Lin Bai cast a glance around the martial arts arena; there was no sign of any gate.

At this point, Lin Bai knew that only by defeating the two clay sculptures before him would the light gate appear.
