The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 896 - 894: Low-level Elder! Liu Tian!

Chapter 896: Chapter 894: Low-level Elder! Liu Tian!

Lin Bai and Tang Bufan returned to their residence at Shadow Mountain!

Upon returning, Lin Bai couldn’t wait to lock himself in his room and took out the Annihilation Sword Skill, examining it carefully.

The Annihilation Sword Skill consists of only three techniques!

The first form, One-Sword Limitlessness!

The second form, Heaven and Earth Extinguishing!

The third form, Inviting Reincarnation!

Each technique of the Annihilation Sword Skill is stronger than the last.

Especially the third form "Inviting Reincarnation," which is extremely domineering. Once executed, it is a definite one-hit kill, capable of unleashing power that surpasses that of a Warrior by double, and is known as the sure-kill sword!

"Inviting Reincarnation? Heh, I remember once obtaining a martial art technique called Three Immortal Fingers in the Territory of the Lingdong Divine Martial Kingdom! It also had a technique by this name."

"Three Immortal Fingers, one points to heaven, two points to earth, three points Inviting Reincarnation!"

"It seems that the Three Immortal Fingers shares some sort of uncanny resemblance to the Annihilation Sword Skill!"

Now, Lin Bai carefully recalled the Three Immortal Fingers, which he had long forgotten, and they once again surfaced in his mind.

For some reason, when Lin Bai saw the Annihilation Sword Skill, he immediately thought of the Three Immortal Fingers.

At the time when Lin Bai obtained the Three Immortal Fingers martial art technique, he felt that this set of techniques was not so simple.

Now, looking in conjunction with the Annihilation Sword Skill, Lin Bai suddenly had an epiphany.

"So it turns out, the Three Immortal Fingers is a pointing technique of the Annihilation Sword Skill!"

"Heh, likely some Warrior had accidentally observed another cultivating the Annihilation Sword Skill but didn’t understand the cultivation method and sword techniques of the Annihilation Sword Skill!"

"Hence, they imitated and created the Three Immortal Fingers based on the form of the Annihilation Sword Skill!"

"No wonder I felt such a subtle connection between the Three Immortal Fingers and the Annihilation Sword Skill."

Lin Bai smiled indifferently.

Imitating martial arts techniques is a common occurrence in the Martial World.

Once, Lin Bai also attempted to mimic the "Dragon-Slaying Sword" that Lin Duo was cultivating, but the sword skill was far too profound and enigmatic. Lin Bai could only mimic its form, entirely unable to unleash the might of the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

Afterwards, he gave up.

"Although the Three Immortal Fingers was created by mimicking the Annihilation Sword Skill, its power compared to the Annihilation Sword Skill is far too weak!"

"After all, the Annihilation Sword Skill is, at the very least, a Heaven Level Fifth Grade martial technique!"

Lin Bai smiled faintly.

Immediately, discarding the Three Immortal Fingers, Lin Bai began wholeheartedly to cultivate the Annihilation Sword Skill.

On the other hand!

After Liu Xuan emerged from the Physical Spirit Arena, shaking off those sycophants, he headed straight for the residence of the low-level Elder in the Sword Art Academy!

"Liu Xuan seeks an audience with Patriarch Uncle!"

Liu Xuan called out respectfully outside an antiquely styled room.

A cold voice came from inside the house, "The Newcomers Competition for the newcomers group is approaching, why aren’t you preparing for the competition and instead coming here for what?"

The door opened, and a gaunt old man appeared in front of Liu Xuan.

This old man, dressed in a cyan long robe with a goatee on his chin, showed a cold face with a pair of indifferent eyes staring at Liu Xuan.

Liu Xuan, being stared at by the old man’s cold eyes, immediately said, "Patriarch Uncle, I didn’t mean to deliberately disturb your cultivation, but a disciple wronged me too much!"

"He tricked me out of my ten thousand points!"

"I implore Patriarch Uncle to seek justice for me!"

Liu Xuan knelt in front of the old man, pleading.

This old man was Liu Xuan’s Patriarch Uncle in the Sword Art Academy, named Liu Tian, and the ten thousand points were also what Liu Tian was ordered to give Liu Xuan!

Truthfully, providing Liu Xuan with ten thousand points for no reason had Liu Tian’s heart bleeding.

Ten thousand points, for the low-level Elder like Liu Tian, it wasn’t a small amount at all!

The information about the discounted sword skill was also provided to Liu Xuan by Liu Tian before.

Upon hearing that the points were gone, Liu Tian’s face turned even colder as he asked, "Do you realize that those ten thousand points were given to you by your father’s command! How could you not keep them safe, and let someone trick you out of them?"

Liu Xuan pleaded, "Patriarch Uncle, now is not the time to talk about that, please help me get the points back."

Liu Tian looked at Liu Xuan and asked coldly, "Did you gamble with this person in the Physical Spirit Arena and lose the ten thousand points to him?"

Liu Xuan exclaimed, "How did you know, Patriarch Uncle?"

Liu Tian said coldly, "How would I know? Is there anything that happens at the Sword Art Academy that I am unaware of?"

"What a waste, to actually lose to a Martial Artist of the Human Elixir Realm Second Layer – and one from the Low-Level Group at that!"

"If this news gets back to the Liu Family, you will inevitably face reproach from the Family Elders, and even your position as the Young Patriarch may no longer be secure!"

Liu Tian said ominously.

Liu Xuan’s body softened, and he knelt before Liu Tian, saying, "Uncle, I beg you not to disclose this news to the Elders at home!"

"Uncle, as long as you help me keep this secret, when I assume the position of Patriarch of the Liu Family one day, you will naturally not lack rewards!"

"Moreover, those ten thousand points that were supposed to be reclaimed, I will not want them – they will be yours, Uncle!"

"I implore you, Uncle, please help me keep this secret!"

Liu Tian’s expression softened slightly as he said, "It’s good that you have this in mind!"

"Let’s go, I will get back the ten thousand points you’ve lost!"

"Hmph, daring to take Liu Tian’s points, that’s simply courting death!"

Liu Tian said with a malevolent face.

Thinking of his ten thousand points about to return to his hands made Liu Tian extremely happy.

Liu Xuan said, "Uncle, disciples aren’t allowed to take action within the Sword Art Academy, so how are you going to reclaim the points?"

Liu Tian countered, "You don’t need to worry about that, I naturally have my ways!"

"The Elder guarding the dwelling where Lin Bai resides at Shadow Mountain is none other than Yuan Qing, who has been a close friend of mine for many years!"

"Just a word from me, and the rest will be easy to handle!"

"Just wait and see, not only will I have him obediently return the points to you, but I will also ensure that two months from now, at the Newcomers Competition, he will kneel on the ground in front of thousands from the Newcomers Group and beg for your mercy!"

Liu Tian said with a frigid tone.

Liu Xuan spoke, "Once Lin Bai returns the points to me, I will immediately deliver them to you, Uncle."

"Mm."

Liu Tian nodded lightly and left the residence.

Watching Liu Tian’s retreating figure, Liu Xuan said coldly, "Mad, Lin Bai, you bastard, you’ve almost cost me the heir’s position in the Liu Family, I won’t let you off!"

"When you’re kneeling and begging at my feet, I will make sure to trample on you properly!"

Liu Xuan said viciously.

Shadow Mountain!

Beneath the night sky, Shadow Mountain lay in stunning beauty.

The bright moon shone high in the sky!

After finishing a day of training, Lin Bai and Tang Bufan sat in Room 81, watching the moon on the horizon, with more than a dozen empty wine jugs on the table.

It was clear that both of them were nearly drunk.

Tang Bufan slurred his words, "Lin Bai, we’ve finished all the wine, I’ll go get some more."

Lin Bai chuckled, "Forget it,Bufan, let’s stop here for today. I still need to continue training tomorrow."

Tang Bufan staggered as he said, "To train what? With your high talent for the Sword Art, you can just practice casually–don’t be so serious!"

"Can’t you leave a way out for us Martial Artists with lesser talents?"

"No more talk, we must drink to our fill today!"

"Wait here, I’m going to fetch more wine!"

Tang Bufan laughed playfully.

"Hehehe." Lin Bai sat on a stool, watching Tang Bufan’s hefty frame of over three hundred pounds sway humorously.

Suddenly at that moment, the smile on Lin Bai’s face vanished, and his expression turned ice cold.

He grabbed hold of Tang Bufan all at once.

Tang Bufan exclaimed, "Hey hey hey, Lin Bai, what are you holding me for? I’m going to get the wine."

"Bufan, we have guests," Lin Bai said with a cold voice as the drunkenness vanished from his face.

Tang Bufan asked curiously, "Guests? What kind of guests?"

Lin Bai replied coldly, "Visitors at this late hour are likely to be unwelcome."

"Friend, it’s about time you showed yourself!"
