The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 769 - 767: Leading the Whole Field! Perfect Clearance!

Chapter 769: Chapter 767: Leading the Whole Field! Perfect Clearance!

The sixth illusion had completely shattered now.

Lin Bai’s figure appeared in the ninth floor of the Ascension Tower.

"Lin Bai has passed the Ascension Tower test!"

"Yeah, there are three stages and five obstacles in the Ascension Tower, Lin Bai has passed them all!"

"That’s too fast, how long has it been?!"

"This should not have even taken a quarter of an hour."

Many warriors, seeing the words "Lin Bai has passed" displayed on the first stone stele, wore incredulous faces.

Now, within the fourth stage.

Qin Beiao, rumpled all over, stood before the light gate, "I’ve finally broken through the fourth stage. I’ve picked up the pace now. As long as Lin Bai falters a bit within the sixth stage, I should be able to catch up!"

"I will definitely catch up!"

As soon as Qin Beiao reached the light gate, he glanced first at the leader but was met with the words "Lin Bai has passed."

Instantly, Qin Beiao felt as if he was struck by five thunders!

"No! No! No!"

"He just entered the sixth stage a while back, there’s no way he could have passed so soon!"

"Impossible! How can I lose to a useless fool from Lingnan!"

Qin Beiao roared with anger.

He was a genius from Lingnan, a monster-level genius from Saint Seal Sect. How could he not even step on Lin Bai in the three stages and five obstacles?

Not only did Qin Beiao find it tough to believe, but even Longqing Feng was utterly astonished, "He has already passed?!"

Longqing Feng’s face lacked expression due to shock.

Now, when Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng thought back to what they had said in the wine building, they felt utter humiliation.

What wiping out Lingdong’s geniuses now sounded like a slap in their faces.

The faces of Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng were burning with embarrassment. It felt like Lin Bai had slapped them across their faces with an invisible palm.

As Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng were not satisfied with this, they were disgruntled.

One was a peerless genius from the Saint Seal Sect, and the other was the current crown prince of the Azure Dragon Empire.

They had actually been left far behind by a warrior from Lingdong?

If this news spreads to Lingnan, both the Saint Seal Sect and the Azure Dragon Empire would lose face.

At this moment,

Two handsome men stood shoulder to shoulder outside the Ascension Tower.

Seeing the names on the stone stele before the Ascension Tower, they both broke into a strange smile.

"It seems that the fame of those two geniuses, Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng, is now destroyed as suddenly as it was built," said one handsome man with a slight sneer.

The other man, with a casual demeanor, laughed and said, "One is the unrivaled genius of the Saint Seal Sect, and the other is the crown prince of the Azure Dragon Empire, adored by all. Yet, now, they can’t even surpass a mere warrior from Lingdong."

"Saint Seal Sect and the Azure Dragon Empire are totally humiliated."

The two men shared a glance and laughed.

The identities of these two men were extraordinary, too.

They are from Lingnan.

One was Ye Banqiu, a disciple from the top sword-cultivating sect in Lingnan, the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect.

The other was Zhao Lingshen, a prince of one of the 72 states of Lingnan, the Zhao Royal Dynasty.

Ye Banqiu laughed, "We shouldn’t rush to any conclusions yet. After all, the test is not over yet. There are two more stages available for Longqing Feng and Qin Beiao to catch up!"

Zhao Lingshen also laughed, "Yeah, after all, it’s the final stage of real combat in the three stages and five obstacles that determines our ranks. Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng still have a chance to turn the tables!"

They didn’t come to Tianding City to participate in the exam but to attend the ceremony.

They had already used their sect and royal family’s power to get an invitation from the Miracle Ridge and were directly admitted to the Miracle Ridge without any need for testing.

On the other side, Wu Song’s figure appeared beside the senior elder of the Chulong Courtyard.

Wu Song came here to have a look at Bai Xiaoxiao.

...

Lin Bai calmly waited for a while in the ninth floor, and seeing a token floating in front of him, he took it into his hand.

This token was no longer used to open the light gate but the key to open the gate to leave the Ascension Tower.

As Lin Bai prepared to leave the Ascension Tower,

A flash of white appeared beside Lin Bai, revealing a figure.

"Someone has come out? I wonder who passed after me?"

Lin Bai curiously asked.

Swoosh~

The white shadow dispersed, revealing a ragged warrior.

"Senior Brother Ji Xiang." Lin Bai exclaimed with joy.

Ji Xiang stood in the middle of the ninth floor, looking at Lin Bai, and said with a faint smile, "Lin Bai, what just happened? I heard your voice..."

Lin Bai was taken aback, recalling that when he was facing Lin Zi’er earlier, he had mentally recited the names of his friends one by one.

But Lin Bai didn’t realize that they could actually hear him?

Lin Bai laughed and said, "It’s nothing. I just feel so fortunate to have a group of friends like you. No matter where you are, the distance could never weaken our bond."

Ji Xiang smiled and said, "We’re not just friends, we’re brothers!"

Hearing Ji Xiang’s firm statement warmed Lin Bai’s heart.

"Yes, brothers."

Lin Bai gave a slight smile.

At that moment, another illusion flashed, and a white-robed woman appeared beside Lin Bai.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re here too." Lin Bai smiled and said.

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at Lin Bai, walked over right away, took Lin Bai’s hand, and asked worriedly, "Lin Bai, are you okay? What happened just now...?"

"You felt it too?" Lin Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded.

Lin Bai gave a bitter smile, wondering to himself, was it because Bai Xiaoxiao and Ji Xiang were not far from him that they could feel it?

Did the others feel it?

Ye Suxin? Tiehai Tang? Li Shanqing? Did they sense it?

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to me. I was just facing my inner demon at the fourth stage. She tried to defeat me with familial and friendly bonds."

"Unfortunately, she who never understands familial and friendly bonds tried to use them as a weapon to defeat me! How ridiculous."

"By the way. Senior Brother Ji Xiang, Xiaoxiao, what is the inner demon you faced?"

Lin Bai asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiang’s face turned gloomy and his voice filled with killing intent, "The Demon Monk!"

Lin Bai was stunned, "Senior Brother Ji Xiang, is it the Demon Monk who inflicted endless pain and torment upon you?"

Ji Xiang nodded slightly, "But I’m over it now, I’ve killed him twice with my own hands. The revenge for extermination of my clan has been avenged!"

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Ji Xiang. Now that the revenge is avenged, there’s no hatred in your heart. Your Sword Art will certainly improve day by day." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"What about you, Xiaoxiao?"

"What’s your fear, your inner demon?"

Lin Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and asked curiously.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s question, Bai Xiaoxiao’s face turned grim, "Wu Song!"

Thump!

Upon hearing the name Wu Song, Lin Bai’s eyes immediately flashed with icy killing intent.

But after careful thought, Lin Bai was positive it was Wu Song.

Bai Xiaoxiao was born noble and had been brought up in the royal family since childhood. She was respected by everyone, and no one dared to defy the First Princess’s wishes.

However, Wu Song’s emergence struck a painful blow to Bai Xiaoxiao.

Wu Song’s origin and his formidable strength made Bai Xiaoxiao realize the reality.

This is a world where the Martial Art is supreme.

This left a shadow and inner demon in Bai Xiaoxiao.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I will kill him!"

Bai Xiaoxiao laughed and said, "Perhaps I used to be afraid of him, but after this fourth stage, I am no longer afraid! Lin Bai, we will definitely defeat him, won’t we?"

"Yes, I’m not even afraid of the Giant God Clan, let alone Wu Song, he is not worth mentioning!" Lin Bai sneered.

The name Wu Song was already written in Lin Bai’s Book of Life and Death!

"Since we’ve passed the test of Ascension Tower, let’s go out. After all, we still need to take the test for the seventh stage!" Lin Bai said with a smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao said concisely, "The seventh test is the Martial Soul... Lin Bai, you... "

Lin Bai laughed, "I know what you’re worried about. My Martial Soul of the Yellow Level First Grade is not up to the standards of the Miracle Ridge..."

"But it’s not that there’s no solution!"

Lin Bai smiled slightly.

The fifth update of the day is here!

Many friends have commented that updates aren’t regular.

For this, I, Emperor Sword, do owe an apology.

Since there were no Chapters reserved after the previous update spree, it has now become necessary to publish a Chapter right after it is written.

Hopefully, you kind brothers and sisters could bear with me! Once the holiday season is over, and when things are not so hectic, I will make an effort to update more frequently!

Last but not least, Emperor Sword requests for your subscriptions, recommendations, and rewards!!
