The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 924 - 922: Battle Liu Tian Again!

Chapter 924: Chapter 922: Battle Liu Tian Again!

Lin Bai left the Sword Art Academy Arena.

Soon, a chubby fellow squeezed out from the side and approached Lin Bai, clapping him on the shoulder with a laugh, "Damn, Lin Bai, you’re so awesome, over nine thousand points, how did you do it!"

Lin Bai glanced sideways, and it turned out to be Tang Bufan.

After obtaining the corpse of a Human Elixir Realm Fifth Layer demon beast in New Qingshan, Tang Bufan left and, therefore, didn’t continue participating in the subsequent Beast Tide.

"Bufan, how come I didn’t see you just now?" asked Lin Bai curiously.

"Never mind that, let’s head back to Shadow Mountain, have a couple of drinks with the brothers, and talk. Let’s celebrate surviving that ordeal," Tang Bufan said with a smile, patting Lin Bai’s shoulder as they walked towards Shadow Mountain.

Back on Shadow Mountain.

Lin Bai and Tang Bufan had a few drinks and a short chat before Lin Bai said to Tang Bufan, "Go on back first, Bufan, I might have visitors later! It wouldn’t be convenient for you to be here."

"Visitors? Oh~~" Upon hearing this, Tang Bufan first looked startled, then grinned slyly, "I get it, I get it. I’ll leave first then, but Lin Bai, you need to take care of yourself, don’t overwork yourself day and night!"

Seeing the sly look on Tang Bufan’s face, Lin Bai knew he was thinking crooked.

"Not a woman, the person who came that night," Lin Bai said softly.

"That night, the man in black?" Tang Bufan exclaimed upon hearing this, "Lin Bai, we shouldn’t confront him head-on. I’ll go find an Elder."

"No need, just go back, lock up your doors and windows, and no matter what noise you hear, don’t come out, understand?" Lin Bai said indifferently to Tang Bufan.

"Are you sure you can handle him? That person’s a Human Elixir Realm Seventh Layer Warrior!" asked Tang Bufan doubtfully.

"If he dares to come, I’ll make sure he has no return!"

Lin Bai’s eyes were brimming with a murderous intent as he spoke.

Witnessing the layers of murderous aura emanating from Lin Bai, Tang Bufan’s fatty body trembled. He gave Lin Bai a few words of caution before heading back to his quarters, tightly closing the doors and windows and not venturing out again.

"Just the Human Elixir Realm Seventh Layer!"

Lin Bai sneered coldly, his spiritual power surging, and a terrifying force spread out from him.

This force was unmistakably that of the Human Elixir Realm Sixth Layer!

Previously, in New Qingshan, after devouring a third of Long Lie’s Dragon Blood, Lin Bai had broken through to the peak of the Human Elixir Realm Fifth Layer.

Afterwards, he finished off Long Lie, devoured the remaining Demon Blood, and smoothly advanced to the Human Elixir Realm Sixth Layer.

Unfortunately, when Long Lie made a desperate counterattack, he burned his Dragon Blood, leaving most of it consumed, and Lin Bai gained only a small part. Otherwise, Lin Bai’s cultivation would have definitely reached the Human Elixir Realm Seventh Layer by now.

Subsequently, Lin Bai killed so many more demon beasts, devoured a good amount of Demon Blood, and his cultivation broke through to the pinnacle of the Human Elixir Realm Sixth Layer.

He was now only a hair’s breadth away from the Human Elixir Realm Seventh Layer.

At this moment, Lin Bai had no fear of Liu Tian.

Just as Lin Bai had said, as long as Liu Tian dared to come, Lin Bai would ensure he wouldn’t leave in one piece!

"Devouring Sword Spirit..."

At this point, Lin Bai thought of the Devouring Sword Spirit.

Back in New Qingshan, while slaying demon beasts, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of integrating the Devouring Sword Spirit into the sword blade.

Indeed, a marvelous outcome ensued.

The Treasure Sword, after merging with the Sword Soul, directly reached the power of a Nine-grade Spirit Tool from that of Fifth-grade Spiritual Instruments.

This also increased Lin Bai’s combat power by at least three times.

"If integrating the Devouring Sword Spirit can turn an ordinary Treasure Sword into one with the might of a Nine-grade Spirit Tool!"

"I wonder what lies beyond the Nine-grade Spirit Tool?"

"It’s... the Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact!"

"I wonder if it’s possible for a Treasure Sword blended with the Devouring Sword Spirit to achieve the might of an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact?"

As Lin Bai pondered, he took out the Qingge Sword to fuse with the Devouring Sword Spirit.

The Qingge Sword was a Sixth Grade Spirit Tool, which was far more powerful than the Fifth-grade Spiritual Instruments Lin Bai had fused before.

But even after the fusion with the Devouring Sword Spirit, the Qingge Sword’s might only reached the peak of a Nine-grade Spirit Tool and did not possess the power of an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact.

An Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact is a treasure that transcends above the Nine-grade Spirit Tool!

Extreme Martial denotes the ultimate Martial Art!

Such weapons are known as the pinnacle of Martial Art!

Above the Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact lies the legendary King Level war weapon, capable of suppressing an entire region!

It is no exaggeration to say that it is hard to find even three Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifacts on such a vast expanse such as the Miracle Ridge.

In the entire Territory of all nations, it is hard to find even one King Level war weapon!

The forces that possess a King Level war weapon must undoubtedly be among the top powers in the Barbarian Ancient East Continent.

After pondering for a long time, Lin Bai sat down cross-legged and continued to heal.

A few hours later.

The moon was high in the sky.

A thick curtain of darkness enveloped the Sword Art Academy.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps treading on roof tiles came from a distant rooftop.

Lin Bai, who had been healing cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes and couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a cold smile, "Have you arrived?"

No sooner had Lin Bai’s words fallen than a man in black landed in Lin Bai’s courtyard.

Lin Bai stood up from the ground and stared at the man in black who had appeared before him.

A glint of excitement shone in the man in black’s eyes.

He pulled off the black cloth covering his face, revealing the appearance of an old man.

This person was none other than Liu Tian.

When Liu Tian saw Lin Bai, he was as excited as a starving Evil Wolf beholding a lamb ready for slaughter.

And no wonder Liu Tian felt this way.

That afternoon, Liu Xuan had gone looking for Liu Tian and specially informed him that there were at least thirty thousand points on Lin Bai, igniting an intense greed in Liu Tian’s heart.

Thirty thousand points, that is like the lifetime savings of a low-level elder in the Sword Art Academy!

It would cause great excitement in anyone.

"You scoundrel, why didn’t you do what I told you to do the other day?" As soon as Liu Tian landed, he immediately glared at Lin Bai with harsh words.

"I did it so you could come, didn’t I? If you didn’t come, how could I kill you?" Lin Bai could not help but ask with a laugh.

"Hahaha, think you can kill me? You should take a piss and look at yourself!" Liu Tian laughed with disdain, "Eh? I underestimated you. In just two short months, you actually broke through to the Human Elixir Realm Sixth Layer!"

"But that’s it. Even at Human Elixir Realm Sixth Layer, you’re still nothing in front of me!"

"In the Human Elixir Realm state, being stronger by one layer means being stronger by a bit, enough to determine a Warrior’s life and death!"

Liu Tian said coldly, "Lin Bai, I advise you to stop deluding yourself. I hear from Liu Xuan that you have over thirty thousand points on you. Hand over all your points to me now, and out of great mercy, I might spare your life!"

"Hahaha, spare my life, and you talk of great mercy? What a joke!" Lin Bai heard this and laughed coldly, "Only the weak babble on and on, the strong need not say much!"

"Liu Tian, indeed I have over thirty thousand points on me! If you have the guts, come and take them!"

"If you kill me today, all those points are yours!"

Lin Bai said with a sinister look on his face, staring at Liu Tian.

Upon hearing this, Liu Tian’s mouth curved into a cold smile, "If you’re so eager to tread the Netherworld Path, this elder will send you on your way! Die!"
