The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 987 - 985: The Wind Rises and the Clouds Swirl!

Chapter 987: Chapter 985: The Wind Rises and the Clouds Swirl!

Hong Su and Ye Suxin stood atop a stone wall, their gaze sweeping across the surrounding mountainous stone walls.

"Quite a number of people have come."

"Over there, four from the Nine Swords of Yunhai have arrived—the Sword List’s ninth Zhu Kun, the tenth Ni Ming, the eleventh Qi Bing, and the twelfth Kang Gang!"

"From the Fist Daoist Courtyard, Wu Qing has appeared, and even the high-ranking Elder Liujing Feng has come!"

Hong Su exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Suxin looked up and said, "There’s also a big turnout from the Spear Daoist Courtyard. Bai Chen has actually invited Cai Yunqi, the Chief Disciple of the Spear Daoist Courtyard?"

Cai Yunqi, the Chief Disciple of the Spear Daoist Courtyard, had strength that was roughly on par with Hong Su.

"It’s the same with the Chulong Courtyard; both Chuyi and Wu Qiu have come." Hong Su then turned to look in the direction of the Chulong Courtyard, exclaiming in astonishment.

"With two Chief Disciples and a high-ranking Elder from the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge showing up, it seems Lin Bai is truly in danger today," Hong Su said softly.

Ye Suxin’s expression grew worried as he glanced at Lin Bai, who was still sitting cross-legged between the mountains, motionless, as if turned to stone.

"What is Lin Bai still doing? Does he really think he can escape under the watch of Wu Qiu, Cai Yunqi, and a high-ranking Elder?" Ye Suxin couldn’t quite figure Lin Bai out.

"Really don’t know what kind of game he’s playing with that gourd of his!" Hong Su was also very puzzled.

Just then,

Liujing Feng glanced around and said, "Wu Qing, make your move. You must cripple Lin Bai. Once he is crippled, everything will be up for discussion!"

"Yes, Elder!"

Wu Qing nodded, then immediately leapt down from the cliffside.

"So many strong ones!"

"Nearly all of the top hundred experts from the Hunter Ranking have gathered."

"And two Chief Disciples have even come—Wu Qiu and Cai Yunqi!"

"Look quickly, the Fist Daoist Courtyard is about to make a move! It’s Wu Qing, third on the Fist Ranking!"

As those around marveled at the powerful individuals converging, suddenly they saw a shadow of a person rapidly rushing towards Lin Bai!

"Wu Qing, Lin Bai is from our Sword Art Academy!" Zhu Kun immediately drew his sword and charged forward, accompanied by Ni Ming, Qi Bing, and Kang Gang from the Nine Swords of Yunhai.

The Fist Daoist Courtyard and Sword Art Academy both took action!

The other courtyards could no longer hold back.

Wu Qiu said, "Chuyi, go."

"Yes, Brother Wu!"

Chuyi nodded, leapt up, and descended between the mountains, followed by over a dozen experts from the Chulong Courtyard!

On another side, Cai Yunqi from the Spear Daoist Courtyard also smiled and said, "Bai Chen, since Wu Qiu hasn’t made a move, it wouldn’t be good for me to step in. You go first, and I’ll keep an eye on Wu Qiu for you!"

"Thank you, Brother Cai." Bai Chen’s excitement surged, "Fellow Junior Brothers, follow me. If I manage to capture Lin Bai this time, a generous reward is guaranteed."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Bai Chen."

Immediately, Bai Chen led a group of disciples from the Spear Daoist Courtyard down into the valley.

On another mountaintop, experts from the 72 Caves of the Demon Race looked on indifferently at the scene unfolding.

The Man-eating Demon laughed, "Black Dragon, aren’t we going to make a move?"

Black Dragon smiled, "Just right, so many experts have gathered here. Let them fight for a while, and later, when they are both severely injured, we will take action and kill all of these people on the spot. This will also count as our meritorious deed."

Huo Que also nodded lightly, agreeing with Black Dragon’s plan.

Black Dragon immediately instructed the experts from the 72 Caves not to act rashly and to wait for the upcoming great battle!

...

Wu Qing landed in the ravine; although he heard Zhu Kun’s roaring voice, he did not pause and directly charged towards Lin Bai with a punch, his terrifying power roaring forth like the rumble of mountains and rivers aimed at Lin Bai’s body.

At that moment, Lin Bai slightly lifted his gaze, clenched his teeth, and took the punch head-on!

Bang—

With the punch landing, Lin Bai’s body was flung more than a hundred meters away, crashing heavily against the cliffside!

"Hm? You’re not fighting back? Hahaha, could it be that you’re too severely injured to muster enough spiritual power? Perfect, today I will cripple you!" Seeing that Lin Bai showed no intention of counterattacking, Wu Qing burst into a wild laugh.

Lin Bai, thrown to the ground, lay there motionless, using all his strength to clench his fist tightly, his eyes revealing a murderous intent that reached the heavens.

But.

Lin Bai had no strength to fight back!

"He is not fighting back?" Ye Suxin exclaimed in shock.

"It’s not that he doesn’t want to fight back, it seems that he can’t mobilize the strength within his body, he is very weak..." Hong Su immediately realized the situation when she saw Wu Qing making his move!

Ye Suxin immediately drew out his Grade 9 Spirit Sword and leaped from the cliffside.

His eyes were filled with a murderous intent, charging towards Wu Qing’s back.

"Suxin!"

Hong Su cried out in alarm.

Hong Su had wanted to stop Ye Suxin, but just as the words reached her lips, Ye Suxin had already descended into the ravine!

"I’ll cripple your Dantian first!"

After hitting Lin Bai with a punch, Wu Qing’s eyes turned fierce, his boxing technique surged wildly, striking towards Lin Bai’s Dantian!

Zhu Kun and the others watched this scene without attempting to stop it.

They all knew that if Lin Bai’s Dantian was crippled, he would not be able to escape from this Heavenly Spider Web today.

Lin Bai, seeing Wu Qing’s punch coming to shatter his Dantian, helplessly closed his eyes.

The weakness from the Great Desolation Skill would take at least another half an hour to fade!

As Wu Qing’s killing blow approached, Lin Bai could only watch helplessly as Wu Qing crippled his Dantian and destroyed his Divine Elixir!

Swish—

Just as Wu Qing was about to crush Lin Bai’s Dantian.

A dazzling Sword Aura descended from the sky, slashing at Wu Qing.

"Who goes there?"

Wu Qing’s complexion changed dramatically as he felt the terrifying power within the sword, and he quickly backed away.

With a single sword strike forcing Wu Qing back, a woman landed in front of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai slightly lifted his gaze to look at the woman.

Ye Suxin.

It was her.

Lin Bai was astonished.

Lin Bai had not expected the person who would come to his rescue to be Ye Suxin.

Wasn’t this woman filled with hatred to her very bones for him?

Didn’t she dream of killing him?

Why would she still save me?

In this moment, as Lin Bai beheld Ye Suxin’s figure, many questions arose in his heart.

"Who are you?" Wu Qing coldly asked looking at Ye Suxin.

Ye Suxin had spent years in Five Peaks Cultivation and did not often appear in the Nine Courtyards, so Wu Qing and the others did not recognize Ye Suxin and were unaware of her identity.

Let alone Wu Qing, even Liujing Feng did not recognize Ye Suxin.

"As long as I am here today, no one can kill him," Ye Suxin’s beautiful eyes hardened, her Sharp Sword emanating endless chilling light as she spoke coldly and resolutely.

"Hmph, with that level of Sword Skill, you think you can stop me!" Wu Qing sneered contemptuously. He might not recognize Ye Suxin, but judging by her swordplay, she must be a disciple of the Sword Art Academy!

In the Sword Art Academy, apart from fearing the Chief Disciple Murong Fei, Wu Qing held no one else in regard.

As soon as Wu Qing saw Ye Suxin appear, he did not hesitate and immediately charged forward!

"Junior Sister, I advise you to stand aside. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless to a fellow sect member," Zhu Kun raised his sword and said coldly to Ye Suxin.

"In your dreams!"

Ye Suxin’s pretty face turned cold as she responded icily.

"You are beyond redemption, then die," Zhu Kun’s face turned fierce. "Brother Disciples, take action, kill this woman and cripple Lin Bai!"

Zhu Kun and the Nine Swords of Yunhai also joined the battlefield!
