The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 46 - Heaven Swallowing Demon Python

46: Chapter 46: Heaven Swallowing Demon Python

46 -46: Heaven Swallowing Demon Python

Lin Bai and Ye Guxing began a fierce battle within the forest, their attacks and defenses seamlessly transitioning into one another.

Shockingly, Lin Bai couldn’t gain the upper hand over Ye Guxing even after one thousand rounds.

After one thousand rounds…

They both withdrew, taking a one-minute breather.

With mild astonishment in his eyes, Lin Bai gazed at Ye Guxing.

Other than Lin Zi’er, he was the first highly skilled opponent Lin Bai had encountered.

“It’s such a pity to see someone with your abilities slaving away for other people like the lowest cur,” Lin Bai lamented to Ye Guxing.

From the start, Lin Bai had assumed Ye Guxing was a highly skilled fighter sent by Xu Shangjie.

After all, everyone who appeared before him during this journey was generally there to kill him.

“Hm?” Ye Guxing furrowed his brow.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Ye Guxing said, perplexed.

Ye Guxing’s voice was hoarse and his words carried a chill, much like a lonesome sword-wielding warrior.

“You’re not here to kill me?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

“I was just passing by and saw you draw your sword.

That’s the only reason I intervened,” responded Ye Guxing, shaking his head.

“Er…”

Lin Bai felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.

Taking turns on the offensive and defensive for one thousand rounds, every move direly critical, and only then realizing that it was all due to a misunderstanding.

“Hehe, misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding.

I thought you were here to kill me.”

“I am Lin Bai,” he introduced himself, asking, “May I have the honor of knowing your name?”

Lin Bai held Ye Guxing in high regard.

Because this was the strongest opponent besides Lin Zi’er he had encountered since stepping into the Jianghu.

“Ye Guxing,” was his quiet reply.

“Your sword skills are impressive.

I hope we have the chance to spar again,” Lin Bai said with a slight smile.

“Likewise,” was all Ye Guxing said, his tone dismissive.

“If there is nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

Ye Guxing sheathed his sword and left.

From the beginning, Ye Guxing and Lin Bai never had a life-or-death feud.

Their duel was simply due to a misunderstanding.

Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, there was no need for Ye Guxing to fight to the death anymore.

As Ye Guxing turned to leave, Lin Bai watched him walk away.

“Had enough of watching?

If you have, then come out,” Lin Bai called out coldly after Ye Guxing had left.

“Hahaha, I originally planned to wait until both you and Ye Guxing were injured, and then I would finish you off.”

“Regrettably, I hadn’t expected Ye Guxing and you to fight over one thousand rounds with no clear victor.”

From behind the trees a chilly man emerged.

Recognizing him, Lin Bai knew him to be Moi, one of the top ten newcomer kings he had seen before the trial.

Moi, a new disciple at the Spirit Sword Sect had, single-handedly fought eighteen new disciples and earned a solid reputation.

His prestige amongst the new disciples was unmatched.

“Since Ye Guxing couldn’t kill you, it seems I’ll have to do it myself.”

“Just as well, I’m going to meet up with Xu Shangjie and Lady Ye Suxin.

Taking your head there would be a nice gift.”

Moi smirked, looking at Lin Bai as though he were already as good as dead.

“Where’s Xu Shangjie?” Lin Bai asked, his gaze cold.

“No harm telling you since you’ll be dead soon anyway.

Lady Ye Suxin has called all the newcomer kings to gather at ‘Shili Slope’ to collectively slay a true martial realm demon beast.”

“That’s my destination,” Moi casually commented.

“Who is Ye Suxin?” Lin Bai asked.

“You don’t know Ye Suxin, the top newcomer king?

Agreed by all to be the strongest among this batch of new disciples.”

“She defeated a hundred opponents single-handedly, her prowess unmatched in the Outer Sect.”

When Moi mentioned Ye Suxin, his face lit up with admiration and excitement.

“Don’t know her,” Lin Bai said, shaking his head.

“Forget it.

Rarely do I waste words with you.

Prepare to meet your end.”

After Moi finished speaking, he leaped into the air and targeted Lin Bai with a vicious palm strike.

The power of the palm strike shook the surroundings, crashed down like the shattering of the heavens.

“Since you’ve brought me so much news, I’ll give you a swift death!”

Lin Bai abruptly drew his sword, deflecting the attack with a swift thrust.

Moi made a killing move, naturally aiming for the reward of 10,000 spirit stones offered by Xu Shangjie.

No, twenty thousand spirit stones.

Since the defeat in the canyon, Xu Shangjie had increased the reward to as much as twenty thousand.

The desire to kill Lin Bai was now uncontainable.

“I’m not a loser like Xu Shangjie.

If you want to kill me, I’m afraid you need to train for a few more years!”

“Dispelling Clouds Palm!”

Moi roared.

“Really?”

Lin Bai scoffed dismissively.

“Kill One Person in Ten Steps!”

Lin Bai’s feet moved rapidly, taking ten steps at an unusual angle.

With every step, a blood-red shadow was left on the ground.

After these steps, the shadows merged, and with a piercing thrust of his sword, Lin Bai hit Moi right in the throat.

“How is this possible!”

Moi clutched his throat, looking at Lin Bai with eyes filled with terror.

He staggered backward two steps before collapsing to the ground, lifeless. freeweɓnøvel.com

Picking up Moi’s storage space, Lin Bai turned his head towards the southeast and muttered, “Shili Slope.”

As he spoke, he bound away towards Shili Slope.

…

Shili Slope.

Ye Suxin had gathered several hundreds of warriors under the identifier of the Newcomer King to hunt down a demon beast in the True Martial Realm.

“Follow me.

Beneath Shili Slope lies a Heaven Swallowing Demon Python of the True Martial First Level.”

“Be careful!”

“But remember, do not kill the demon python.

I want to use a secret skill and infuriate it!”

Ye Suxin instructed the other Newcomer Kings and average warriors.

“Xu Shangjie, Long Yao, you lead a team outside.

Don’t let anyone get close.”

Ye Suxin continued with her strategy.

“Don’t worry, Miss Ye.

As long as I’m here, not even a fly will get through.”

Xu Shangjie dutifully listened to Ye Suxin’s words.

Not only Xu Shangjie, but even the other Newcomer Kings, who usually had such arrogant attitudes, were very well-behaved in front of Ye Suxin.

Ye Suxin’s background was likely immense.

“You guys, come with me.”

Xu Shangjie led around twenty warriors away from Shili Slope, vigilantly watching the area.

“Heaven Swallowing Demon Python, come out and meet your death!”

Upon seeing her plan in action, Ye Suxin yelled out.

Suddenly, the entire Shili Slope rattled, and horrifying crevices rapidly appeared on the ground.

A black python emerged from the ground, revealing its colossal body.

The Heaven Swallowing Demon Python was immensely large.

In its presence, Ye Suxin and the other two hundred warriors seemed like a bunch of ants.

The Heaven Swallowing Demon Python was furiously awoken.

Its tail, as hard as steel, lashed out and instantly smashed a dozen warriors into minced meat.

“Roar—”

The Heaven Swallowing Demon Python roared at Ye Suxin.

This Heaven Swallowing Demon Python was at least twice as powerful as the Lizard King of Earth Fire that they had encountered earlier!

“Everyone, attack!

But remember, do not kill it!”

Ye Suxin reminded them again.

“We understand.

We definitely won’t kill this Heaven Swallowing Demon Python.”

The warriors swarmed forward, surrounding the Heaven Swallowing Demon Python!
