The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Tiehai Tang glanced at Tie Feng.

Helplessly, Tie Feng shook his head and said, "If you want to fight, then let's fight. But remember, we are all warriors of the Demon Slaying Alliance. It's a sparring match, know when to stop."

"Fight? Is Brother Qi Sheng fighting that young lad?"

"Is this even a fight? Brother Qi Sheng could squash him with a single finger!"

"Exactly, Brother Qi Sheng has already trained his Mysterious Grade Two martial skill to the state of great completion! How could he possibly lose to such an opponent?"

Martial skill cultivation was divided into four states: Beginner, Mild Success, Great Success, and Great Perfection.

That Qi Sheng, a young man in his early twenties, managed to train a Mysterious level martial skill to the state of Great Success, was quite extraordinary.

"Brat, prepare to die!" Qi Sheng spat out venomously at Lin Bai.

The warriors of the Demon Slaying Alliance quickly cleared a large circle, and Qi Sheng was the first to step into it.

Tiehai Tang approached Lin Bai and cautioned him, "Be careful. Qi Sheng's move, 'Heavenly Dragon Roar,' has been trained to the state of great success. If you can't keep up, surrender immediately."

Qi Sheng sneered, "Hai Tang, you don't need to warn him. I won't need to use my Heavenly Dragon Roar to defeat him."

"I understand." Lin Bai smiled faintly and calmly entered the circle.

"It's starting!"

"Brother Qi Sheng, you are invincible, beat him to a pulp!"

"This damn kid. He's barely past puberty and dares to battle Brother Qi Sheng. He doesn't know the first thing about life and death."

When both sides stood ready, all the warriors of the Demon Slaying Alliance showed support for Qi Sheng, who they were confident in.

On the other hand, Lin Bai was a newcomer and, compared to robust Qi Sheng, appeared delicate and feeble. Naturally, there was little support for him.

"I'll give you a chance. Draw your sword. Once I attack, you won't have even the opportunity to do so," Qi Sheng, having noticed the sharp sword in Lin Bai's hand, scornfully commented.

Lin Bai laughed insipidly, "No need. If I draw my blade, you lose."

"Insufferable brat, you'll pay for this!" Qi Sheng could tell he was being underappreciated by Lin Bai and anger overtook him.

Swiftly and ferociously leading with his feet, Qi Sheng's oppressive aura seemed to take over the entire arena like a wild wind.

"Going straight for his kill move? Brother Qi Sheng must be really angry!" a warrior commented, sensing that something seemed off with Qi Sheng's momentum.

Tiehai Tang, with concern etched on her face, watched Lin Bai anxiously.

"Hmm?" Tie Feng looked at his daughter in surprise. Tiehai Tang was unusually quiet that day, nothing like the Overlord Flower she usually was.

What surprised Tie Feng most was the concern visible in Tiehai Tang's eyes when she looked at Lin Bai.

"Hehe."

After glancing at Tiehai Tang and then Lin Bai, Tie Feng laughed heartily, his face glowing red. He thought to himself: Seems my daughter's future is finally settled. Hahaha.

"Rushing Bull Strength!"

Moo!

With a deep roar, Qi Sheng charged like a wild bull, intent on smashing Lin Bai to pieces.

Sand storms were whipped up, filling the air with dust.

Thump! Lin Bai stood unmoved, letting Qi Sheng charge at him. When his opponent reached him, Lin Bai showed a frightening smile and threw a punch.

Splat——

His punch clashed with the Rushing Bull Strength, creating a massive whirlwind.

"How could this be?" Qi Sheng was sent flying back by Lin Bai's punch, spitting out blood. He looked surprised.

Lin Bai grinned smugly, "Your Rushing Bull Strength is useless! Got any better moves? If not, once I draw my sword, you'll forfeit your chance to perform any!"

"Kid, don't get cocky!"

"Witness my Suppressing Mountain Dragon Fist!"

With a furious roar, Qi Sheng's transparent yellow True Qi rose from the ground and converged onto his fists!

He let out a battle cry and his fists spun toward his opponent.

"This move seems decent, but you dare to show off an incomplete skill? How embarrassing!" Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, revealing killing intent.

Thump!

With one punch, Qi Sheng was sent flying by Lin Bai yet again. He landed some ten meters away, looking utterly disheveled.

"Ah!"

The surrounding warriors were so surprised that they could fit a whole egg in their mouths!

Two strikes in a row, Qi Sheng was completely defeated in both!

"Hehe." Tiehai Tang chuckled joyfully, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Tie Feng was intrigued by Lin Bai. How could such a young boy, who seemed to be only around fifteen or sixteen, have such profound Martial Art cultivation?

"Big Brother Qi Sheng is going to lose!"

"Oh my God, what's the background of this boy who can even defeat Big Brother Qi Sheng?"

"It seems in the Martial Arts World, no matter how powerful you claim to be, there are always warriors even stronger than you. Today's competition is an eye-opening experience."

These warriors all cast their reverent gazes upon Lin Bai.

"Damn it!" Qi Sheng's veins were bulging in anger.

Whoosh—

Just when Qi Sheng's roar reached them, the surrounding spiritual energy uncontrollably rushed into Qi Sheng's mouth!

"This move is..."

"Heavenly Dragon Roar!"

"Get out of the way!"

Tiehai Tang warned Lin Bai.

A shadow of death descended upon Lin Bai.

Qi Sheng accumulated a large amount of spiritual energy in his mouth, transforming it into power, which eventually turned into a huge beam of light shooting straight at Lin Bai.

"Go to Hell!"

Qi Sheng roared in anger.

"It's over, the kid is as good as dead!"

"Nobody can survive that move from Big Brother Qi Sheng! Even a Demon Beast at the seventh level of Martial Art cultivation is doomed."

The color of displeasure flashed across Tie Feng's eyes. He had reminded them before the duel that it should be a spar, stopping as soon as one gains the upper hand, but Qi Sheng's move was clearly meant to take Lin Bai's life.

"Lin Bai, be careful, it is the Mysterious-level Martial Skill!" Tiehai Tang warned.

Crash!

This giant white beam created a violent storm, leaving a long trench on the ground, and hit Lin Bai.

"A mere trick!"

"One Sword Blood Spurt!"

Zing!

The Soul-Slaying Sword resolutely came out of its sheath.

A bloody sword light slashed down from the sky, cutting the oncoming beam in half.

Subsequently, Lin Bai advanced forward with his sword pointing at Qi Sheng's throat.

Buzz!

The blade of the sword touched Qi Sheng's throat. The sword stopped, but the humming of the sword hadn't

"You've lost," said Lin Bai, his expression cold.

Qi Sheng widened his eyes, looking incredulously at Lin Bai, fear flickering in his eyes.

Qi Sheng knew that if Lin Bai had intended to kill him just now, this sword was enough to penetrate his throat!

"I told you, once I draw my sword, you've lost."

Sheathing his sword, Lin Bai turned towards Tie Feng, saying straightforwardly," Mr. Alliance Leader, as a member of the Demon Slaying Alliance, I will naturally work for the Alliance. I kindly ask you to let me take a look at the map of Qingling Mountain Range, so I can go hunt some Demon Beasts."

Tie Feng nodded, "Don't worry. First, Hai Tang, show Lin Bai to his quarters. You can look at the map whenever you want. It's in the Life and Death Cave."

"Thank you," said Lin Bai.

"Follow me, Lin Bai," Tiehai Tang said.

Tiehai Tang and Lin Bai both departed.

Qi Sheng was helped up by the surrounding warriors. He gritted his teeth and watched Lin Bai's back, "I swear on my life, I will avenge this humiliation!"
