The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 54 - The Trial Ends

54: Chapter 54: The Trial Ends

54 -54: The Trial Ends

Lin Bai stepped out of Qingyou Mountain, casting an eye at Ye Suxin, who was being protected behind Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong.

He heaved a silent sigh in his heart, regretting the fact that he was still unable to kill Ye Suxin.

“It seems that my attack sword skills truly are behind due compared to my needs…

There’s no way Ye Suxin could have survived under my blade elsewise,” he mumbled to himself.

“At my current level, I need at least one Xuan-level Third Grade sword technique and one Xuan-level Third Grade body technique in order to fully enhance my abilities.

Lin Bai slowly stated to himself.

Having departed from Qingyou Mountain, Lin Bai did not continue to launch an attack at Ye Suxin.

Firstly, they were no longer within the trial grounds.

Any killing beyond its limits was severely punished by the Spirit Sword Sect.

Secondly, with the presence of Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong, two of the Top Ten Outer Sect Disciples, Lin Bai realized he wouldn’t be able to assassinate Ye Suxin, as he would likely be counterattacked.

Lastly, since they were all members of the Spirit Sword Sect, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future to exact revenge.

Hence, there was no need to rush.

“That’s Lin Bai!” someone called out.

“From what Ye Suxin’s behaviour suggests, it seems that she was injured by Lin Bai,” another individual added.

“Interesting, dare to strike a Divine Alliance Warrior…

Seems like this Lin Bai can’t wait to die,” another Warrior spoke mockingly.

In their eyes, Lin Bai was undoubtedly on his deathbed.

Crossing the Divine Alliance while in the Spirit Sword Sect is equivalent to dancing in Yama Hall, Yama will definitely ensure you are stuck in the Eighteen Levels of Hell and unable to escape.

“Lin Bai, hand over your token,” Elder Ji Bei impatiently commanded Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong realistically.

Stepping forward, Lin Bai retrieved all the tokens from his storage bags that he had acquired by force and handed them over to Ji Bei, who was unaware of the actual count.

“Lin Bai, 321 tokens!”

After doing a headcount, Ji Bei announced: “Very well, Lin Bai, from this moment on, you are a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Whoever dares to harm you is an enemy of the Sect.”

“Remember, no matter where you go, the Spirit Sword Sect is always standing behind you,” Ji Bei added implying some hidden meaning.

“Thank you, Elder,” Lin Bai expressed his gratitude.

“Be careful, Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong may target you,” Ji Bei warned in a low voice.

“Within the Spirit Sword Sect, I don’t believe they would dare to kill me,” Lin Bai replied quietly.

“Elder Ji Bei, what about the thing you promised me?” Lin Bai inquired.

Ji Bei responded, “I have already requested Ling Tianzi to meet us at the Disciple Acceptance Hall.

You might get a chance to meet him shortly.”

“Thank you.”

Lin Bai expressed his gratitude.

Ever since he gained a bonus from the Leijue Sword Intent Picture in the Book Pavilion at White Cloud Peak, Lin Bai decided to request discipleship from Ling Tianzi.

As Lin Yue said, probably only Ling Tianzi could teach Lin Bai some real skills within the Spirit Sword Sect.

“Lin Bai, explain how Ye Suxin got injured?” queried Xiang Tianyi, suddenly standing up and shouting at Lin Bai in rage.

“Ridiculous.

If you want to know about her injuries, why don’t you ask her instead of coming to me?” mocked Lin Bai.

“You dare to hurt Ms.

Ye Suxin; you must be out of your mind, sick of living!” demanded Xiang Tianyi lividly.

“The killer, the killer!

It was Ye Suxin who tried to kill me first; I just fought back.”

“I may not have a high cultivation level, but I am not pushover!”

“So, if she wants to kill me, I’m supposed to do nothing and wait to die?” Lin Bai countered sharply.

“Killing you should be taken as a blessing for your eight past life iterations!” Xiang Tianyi scorned.

“Hahaha, a Divine Alliance Warrior, how impressive,” Lin Bai scoffed.

“Damn it!

I’ll make you pay for this today!”

Xiang Tianyi was provoked by Lin Bai, his aura shook fiercely.

A True Martial Realm Ninth Level aura immediately burst out and started to suppress Lin Bai’s, making it hard for him to breathe.

“Xiang Tianyi, you’d better cut it out!”

Ji Bei was enraged, a power far beyond Xiang Tianyi’s erupted and suppressed him down in one move.

“Elder Ji Bei, he dared to hurt Ye Suxin, and that should be deemed a capital offence.

Are you still going to shield him?” Xiang Tianyi criticized, glaring at Ji Bei.

“There are matters of life and death in the trials,”

“You can kill Lin Bai during the trial, or outside the Spirit Sword Sect, but not here.

This place is within the Spirit Sword Sect.”

“If you dare to kill within these boundaries, what would happen to the rules and regulations of our sect?” Ji Bei demanded ice-cold.

“Fine, fine, fine!

If it’s all about the regulations, then!” It was clear to Xiang Tianyi that Ji Bei was hell-bent on protecting Lin Bai.

“Lin Bai, do you dare to duel with me on the Life and Death Platform?”

“Elder Ji Bei, on the Life and Death Platform, you wouldn’t interfere right?” Xiang Tianyi fumed.

Ji Bei calmly replied, “The Life and Death Platform is where personal grudges among disciples are settled.

Of course, I won’t interfere.”

“Alright then, Lin Bai, do you dare face a duel with me on the Life and Death Platform?” Xiang Tianyi challenged again, yelling at Lin Bai.

“Are you provoking me over and over again because you think I am easy to bully?”

“Xiang Tianyi, haven’t we agreed?

In three months, I will meet you at the Life and Death Platform, where I will behead you!” Lin Bai coldly declared.

“Three months, I bet you won’t dare to show up!”

Xiang Tianyi said angrily.

“If I don’t show, I’m your grandson!” Lin Bai retorted sharply.

“Good, I’ll wait for you for three months.

Three months later, I will definitely turn you into dust!”

Xiang Tianyi roared angrily.

Lin Bai and Xiang Tianyi glared at each other fiercely.

Xiang Tianyi’s repeated threats to kill Lin Bai had already angered Lin Bai tremendously.

“Three months is enough time for me to break through to the ninth level of the True Martial Realm.

Wait for your death, Xiang Tianyi!”

Lin Bai said coldly in his heart.

At this moment, a man in a black robe emerged from Qingyou Mountain, his robe hiding a brilliant knife.

Nanli Dao.

“Such a lively scene,” Nanli Dao said with a faint smile.

Elder Ji Bei said, “Hand over your token.”

Nanli Dao took out his token and gave it to Elder Ji Bei.

Elder Ji Bei counted, “One hundred and twenty tokens.”

“Step aside and wait.

Once the other disciples come out, I will take you to the Disciple Acceptance Hall,” Elder Ji Bei said.

Nanli Dao said, “Other people?

I should be the last one.

There’s no one else.”

Xu Zailong spoke, “Nonsense, my disciples Xu Shangjie and Xu Rui haven’t come out yet.

How can there be no others?”

“Yes, yes, only four Newcomer Kings have emerged: Ye Suxin, Lin Bai, Ye Guxing, and you.”

“Bai Huatian, Long Ba, Moi, and Long Yao haven’t come out yet.”

The other warriors also chimed in.

With an eerie smile, Nanli Dao said, “They won’t be coming out.”

Xu Zailong asked coldly, “What do you mean?”

Nanli Dao laughed, “They’re all dead.

How can they come out?”

“What!”

“All dead!”

“Did so many Newcomer Kings die in this trial?”

Many warriors exclaimed in surprise.

“Did you kill them?” Xu Zailong roared.

Shrugging his shoulders, Nanli Dao said helplessly, “I wish I had that ability.

You should ask Lin Bai – they all died at his hands!”

Crack!

Nanli Dao’s words struck like a bolt from the blue!

Lin Bai killed six Newcomer Kings!

This news was incredibly shocking.

All the warriors looked at Lin Bai in astonishment.

To kill six Newcomer Kings single-handedly would require an unimaginable level of fighting strength!

Xu Zailong demanded angrily, “Lin Bai, where are my younger brothers, Xu Shangjie and Xu Rui?”

Lin Bai sneered, “Your brother put a bounty of twenty thousand on my head in the trial.

I went to deliver it, but unfortunately, he wasn’t lucky enough to take my head and was killed by me first.”

“Can you blame me for that?”

“What about Xu Rui?” Xu Zailong asked.

“Killed together,” Lin Bai responded nonchalantly.

Crack, crack!

Xu Zailong stared at Lin Bai, his face distorted with rage, his teeth grinding loudly.

If not for this being the Spirit Sword Sect, Xu Zailong would have leapt up and strangled Lin Bai!

“Fine, Lin Bai, do you dare to fight me on the Life and Death Platform?” Xu Zailong growled with anger.

When he finished speaking, the crowd noticed that his teeth were shattered, blood spouting from his mouth.

He looked at Lin Bai with a face full of hatred.

“Good, see you on the Life and Death Platform in three months!” Lin Bai said.

“I will personally kill you to avenge my brothers!” Xu Zailong roared.

“As I said before, your brother put a bounty on my head.

His death was deserved!” Lin Bai retorted coldly.

At this moment, Elder Ji Bei called out, “Enough arguing!

Those who passed the trials, follow me to the Disciple Acceptance Hall!”

“Xiang Tianyi, take Ye Suxin and go rest.”

Elder Ji Bei said.

At this moment, Xiang Tianyi was extremely dissatisfied with Elder Ji Bei.

If it wasn’t for him, or if he had just turned a blind eye, Lin Bai would be dead now.

But Elder Ji Bei was bent on protecting Lin Bai.

Xiang Tianyi felt helpless.

He was no match for Elder Ji Bei.

“I’ll report this incident to the Young Sect Leader in three months!”

“Elder Ji Bei, I hope you don’t regret your actions today!”

Xiang Tianyi took Ye Suxin and Xu Zailong and left.

If Xiang Tianyi were to inform the Young Sect Leader now that his betrothed was beaten half to death and her attacker was still at large,

The Young Sect Leader might just kill Xiang Tianyi in his rage.

But it would be different three months from now.

In three months, Xiang Tianyi would show up with Lin Bai’s severed head – a satisfactory explanation for the Young Sect Leader.

Perhaps his punishment would be lighter then!
