The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 767 - 765: Unparalleled Ruthless Person!

Chapter 767: Chapter 765: Unparalleled Ruthless Person!

"Either he is a saint who has never killed a person," Pei Ji stated.

"Or, he is a ferocious terror, who is no longer afraid of anyone!"

"Now it seems, he is a sword cultivator, a sword, by nature, is a tool for killing. He definitely can’t be a saint, so there’s only the second possibility... he’s a ferocious terror!"

Pei Ji declared these words in a serious tone.

Not everyone can stare unwaveringly at the souls of the warriors they’d once killed which had returned to claim their debt.

At this moment, Liujing Feng’s eyes changed. He coldly spoke, "This man is actually an unparalleled ruthless character! It seems I was right, I can’t let him enter the Miracle Ridge, otherwise there will be endless troubles!"

At this time, all warriors on scene were shocked, staring at the first stone stele.

Within the fifth stage.

Lin Bai stood in front of the light door, and as he gazed back, his eyes suddenly widened in shock.

"Lin Bai, long time no see." This soul spoke to Lin Bai with a smile.

Lin Bai looked at him, his eyes filled with pain and reluctance. He said, "Shaolong...".

This soul was Qi Shaolong.

When Lin Bai first joined the Spirit Sword Sect, he shared a dormitory with Qi Shaolong and Zhao Tiedan. Since then, the battle at the Land of Origin had made them brothers in life and death.

But in the end, Qi Shaolong could not hold onto his Daoist heart. He was blinded by personal gains and betrayed both Lin Bai and Zhao Tiedan.

Qi Shaolong said, "I did not misjudge you. You have exceptional talent. The Spirit Sword Sect, the Shenwu Kingdom, the Lingdong 700 States could not confine you... even the Territory of all Nations, East Continent, and the Barbaric Ancient Continent may not be able to confine you."

Lin Bai asked, "Shaolong, do you have any regrets?"

Qi Shaolong shook his head with a smile, "What’s the use of saying this now?"

Lin Bai gave a bitter smile and said, "If you hadn’t betrayed me back then, with your talent, you would already be famous in Lingdong 700 States."

Qi Shaolong let out a bitter laugh. With a trace of loneliness, he asked, "What about Tiedan? That fool, is he still alive?"

Lin Bai nodded, "He’s doing well. I’ve given him a great blessing."

Qi Shaolong laughed, "That’s good. Lin Bai, Tiedan is not as clever as you, nor as decisive and ruthless. But he has something that you don’t - an innocent heart."

"I hope you’ll look after Tiedan. With his character, if he doesn’t have someone to guide him, he might get himself into a lot of trouble."

Lin Bai laughed, "You and I have both endured such immense pain and hardship in this world that we’ve long packed away our kindness."

"Don’t worry about Tiedan. I will take good care of him."

Qi Shaolong nodded with a smile, turned around, and gradually faded away, "Then I’ll be off."

"Okay." Lin Bai said with some reluctance.

Suddenly, as Qi Shaolong turned to leave, dissolving into dots of white light, he declared boldly, "Lin Bai, in the next life, I hope to find you for a pot of wine and a good fight!"

"This time, we’ll drink heartily, spar, and not damage our fraternity."

A hint of a smile crept onto Lin Bai’s anguished face as he responded boldly, "Alright, Qi Shaolong, be sure to come find me. But you’ll have to train hard. Otherwise, when you find me, if you’re too weak, I’d not even be interested in fighting."

"Ha ha ha."

Lin Bai roared with laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha." Qi Shaolong laughed heartily as his figure vanished.

Watching Qi Shaolong disappear, Lin Bai said in loneliness, "Goodbye, Shaolong."

Whoosh-

All the souls vanished from the fifth stage.

Only Lin Bai, a light door, and a token were left.

Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, "This exam of the Miracle Ridge is indeed tough. It not only tests a warrior’s potential but also refines a warrior’s state of mind."

"State of mind..."

Lin Bai laughed, turned around, and stepped into the light door.

He entered the sixth stage!

This was also the final stage of the Ascension Tower exam.

The sixth stage, a test of courage!

"The sixth stage!"

"Lin Bai has officially entered the sixth stage!"

"My God, Lin Bai is so far ahead of second and third place!"

"Indeed, Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng have only just cleared the third stage, and yet Lin Bai is already in the sixth!"

Many warriors exclaimed when they saw the words on the first stone stele change to the sixth stage.

In the crowd, Ye Suxin and Ling Wu quietly appeared.

They saw the first stone stele written: Lin Bai, Sixth Stage.

When she saw it, Ye Suxin breathed a small sigh of relief.

Then, Ye Suxin looked at the other stone steles and exclaimed, "How is he so far ahead of second place!"

Ling Wu also noticed: "Indeed, Lin Bai is now at the sixth stage, while the second and third places are still at the fourth stage, and the rest are still at the third stage!"

"Miss, this man defies the heavens! Such performance in the assessment of the Miracle Ridge is a near-millennium rarity!"

"I once remember Lin Duo took more than three hours to pass the assessment of the Miracle Ridge, but now Lin Bai probably didn’t even take fifteen minutes."

An hour is equivalent to two hours.

A quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes.

Lin Bai actually entered the sixth stage in just fifteen minutes.

The almighty Lin Duo of the past took six hours to get into the sixth stage.

Lin Bai had completely smashed the record Lin Duo set in the past.

Ye Suxin’s eyes were flashing with a sharp light, her gaze fixed on the first stone stele.

"How could you, of all people, possess a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul?"

Ye Suxin felt a bit desolate at heart.

Lin Bai’s Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul was like a fishbone stuck in Ye Suxin’s throat, unbearably uncomfortable, and hard for Ye Suxin to accept.

Sixth Stage.

The test was one of courage.

In this stage, warriors would face what they feared most.

"What could I possibly fear the most?"

Walking into the sixth stage, a look of solemnity came over Lin Bai’s face.

Because as Lin Bai stepped into the illusory world of the sixth stage, a terrifying pressure weighed down on him.

The world of the sixth stage was a mountain range.

Lin Bai stood atop the mountain peak, looking out over the tranquil mountains below.

Boom--

Suddenly, the earth shook, the mountains shattered, and a terrifying power descended from the heavens, crushing the mountains and obliterating everything in its path.

Lin Bai lifted his head to look into the sky above.

Clouds were churning, and thunder was crashing.

It was as if a supreme Demon God was about to be born.

Among the endless rolling thunder and churning clouds, a giant towering above all appeared in the sky.

This giant had no lower body, his upper body stood on the cloud top, muscles bulging all over, each muscle fiber, each drop of blood exuded an awe-inspiring force that could suppress the heavens!

His fists were bigger than the mountains, and with one punch, it seemed as if he could shatter the heavens.

He had a ferocious look, and his eyes seemed capable of swallowing suns and moons.

"Devouring Sword Spirit, your existence defies both heaven and earth! I carry out the will of heaven, you shall be destroyed!"
