The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Using Life to Preserve the Bloodline of Sword Alliance
Upon seeing Ye Beibei beaten so badly by Qian Dongjin, all the warriors of the Sword Alliance were filled with righteous fury, roaring in unison.
"Stop!"
Lijian Xing was the first to roar out in anger.
A cruel smile played on Qian Dongjin’s lips, "What’s the matter? Lijian Xing, do you want your senior brother to point out the shortcomings in your Sword Skill?"
"Not to brag, but with my fifty-first position in the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking, who among the Sword Alliance can be my opponent?" Qian Dongjin proudly proclaimed.
Among the hundred people in the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking, ninety of them were Divine Alliance Warriors.
The remaining ten were seven Sword Alliance Warriors and three who were unaffiliated.
These seven Sword Alliance warriors all ranked below the eightieth spot which, when compared to Qian Dongjin, was indeed a chasm apart.
The Sword Alliance had long been bullied this way by the Divine Alliance due to the low rankings of its disciples on the White Door Top 100 List.
"The Divine Alliance has become more and more domineering, they’ve already killed five Sword Alliance Warriors from our side, and injured over thirty more, in just three days."
"Yes, among the casualties was our senior brother Xun Jie, ranked eighty-ninth on the Inner Gate Top Hundred Ranking. They even crippled his left hand, and he’s still in bed."
"That’s intolerable!"
"Now they have targeted our princess from the Sword Alliance. We absolutely cannot tolerate this!"
The Sword Alliance Warriors roared in unison.
Lin Bai was furrowing his brows as he listened to the Sword Alliance Warriors’ cries. It seemed like the Divine Alliance had been targeting the Sword Alliance recently.
"Qian Dongjin, I challenge you to a duel!"
"Qian Dongjin, show some guts and fight me!"
"Come on, Qian Dongjin, you came here for a fight, didn’t you? I’ll take you on!"
Although these Sword Alliance Warriors were not a match for Qian Dongjin in terms of cultivation, they were no less passionate.
Even in the face of a formidable figure like Qian Dongjin, they were still ready to draw their swords!
The spirit of a Sword Cultivator was to have no fear and to dare to draw one’s sword!
If a Sword Cultivator did not dare to draw his sword in the face of a strong enemy, then he was not worthy of being a Sword Cultivator.
The Sword Alliance was an assembly of Sword Cultivators.
Every member within the Sword Alliance was proficient in swordsmanship and was a Sword Cultivator.
"Forgive my bluntness, you’re not a match for me. If you don’t believe me, come and try," Qian Dongjin said with a smirk, laughing scornfully at the five hundred Sword Alliance Warriors before him.
The Divine Alliance Warriors who had come with Qian Dongjin began exclaiming, "Wow, brother Qian Dongjin is so cool! Challenging five hundred experts from the Sword Alliance, that’s so badass!"
"Hmph, these Sword Alliance ants do not even deserve to shine our shoes."
"You trash, don’t you want to challenge brother Qian Dongjin? Come on."
"Yeah, come on if you have the guts."
The Divine Alliance Warriors were all shouting provocatively.
Qian Dongjin, with a triumphant look on his face, was floating on cloud nine, basking in the worship from the Divine Alliance Warriors.
"Lijian Xing, why don’t you come? You seem to have quite a reputation within the Sword Alliance; do you dare to take me on?" Qian Dongjin stared at Lijian Xing, chuckling.
"I can even fight you with one hand."
Qian Dongjin burst into laughter.
"A warrior can be killed but not insulted! I’ll take you on!" Lijian Xing, shaking with rage, drew his sword.
Suddenly.
Just as Lijian Xing was about to rush forward to engage Qian Dongjin, he was stopped by a hand.
Looking at the person who had stopped him in surprise, it was Lin Bai.
Lin Bai said, "I’ll go."
"Lin Bai, are you sure?" Lijian Xing asked with concern.
"The Divine Alliance has been causing trouble for the Sword Alliance on a daily basis. If we don’t win this fight convincingly today, the Sword Alliance won’t be able to hold its head up in the Spirit Sword Sect anymore."
Lijian Xing spoke solemnly.
"Though I can’t defeat Qian Dongjin, even if I go up there, it will mean certain death. But I will protect the spirit of the Sword Alliance with my life!"
Lijian Xing was ready to risk his life.
"Qian Dongjin is already at the Ninth Level of the Earth Martial Realm, and he’s also a top-ranked warrior on the Inner Gate Top Hundred List, in fifty-first place."
Lijian Xing was only a warrior at the third level of Earth Martial Realm; he had ventured to the Wind God Sect and attained some fortune, breaking through to the third level.
The battle between Lijian Xing and Qian Dongjin was clearly a suicide mission.
Lijian Xing was more candid, directly telling Lin Bai that he was going there to meet his death!
He was ready to spill his blood to uphold the honor of the Sword Alliance.
Just as Lijian Xing said, the Divine Alliance had been suppressing the Sword Alliance to the point of shame in the past few days. If this continued, the warriors of the Sword Alliance would lose their courage and the morale of the Sword Alliance would be reduced to nothing.
In that case, the Sword Alliance would be a name without substance.
"Lin Bai, are you confident?" Lijian Xing asked, worry evident in his voice.
After all, Lin Bai was currently at the eighth level of the Earth Martial Realm; he was still a level behind Qian Dongjin.
"Killing him is like taking something from a bag," Lin Bai said with a warm smile. "Don’t worry, Lijian Xing. As a warrior of the Sword Alliance, it’s my responsibility to protect its honor."
"Lin Bai, I trust you. There are too many miracles about you," Lijian Xing said, earnestly looking at Lin Bai.
"Hehe."
Lin Bai smiled, stepping out from the ranks of the Sword Alliance warriors.
Upon seeing Lin Bai stepping out, Qian Dongjin scoffed, "What, is Lijian Xing too scared to come out? Sending another person to face death?"
"Well, well. It seems there aren’t many of you left in the Sword Alliance. You might as well come out and die," Qian Dongjin casually remarked, disinterestedly looking at Lin Bai.
"Then let’s start, shall we?" Lin Bai asked, his smile full of interest.
"Sure, sure," Qian Dongjin said, laughing, a cruel glint in his eyes. His internal monologue concealed his cold laughter: Let’s see you smile once I’ve broken you to your knees, crippled your dantian, and shattered your limbs.
"Who is this guy?" Many Sword Alliance warriors curiously watched Lin Bai’s back, asking.
"He looks like... Lin Bai!"
"Is it the same Lin Bai who swept through the Outer Sect, defeating all the warriors of the Divine Alliance?"
"I heard the Second Elder really values him."
"I wonder if Lin Bai can defeat Qian Dongjin."
Many of the Sword Alliance warriors were still quite worried about Lin Bai.
"Make your move, draw your sword. Because if I go first, you probably won’t even get a chance to draw your sword," Qian Dongjin scornfully looked at Lin Bai, smiling slightly.
"And also, I’ll only use one hand."
"Hahaha."
Qian Dongjin laughed uproariously after adding another sentence.
"Thank you for your kindness!"
Lin Bai thanked politely with a smile before his gaze transformed into an icy ruthlessness.
"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill! Third form, Wind Calamity!"
With a flash, Lin Bai drew his sword. The sky changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.
At this moment, above the headquarters of the Sword Alliance, a giant cloud suddenly formed, emitting a heavy and ominous atmosphere as if the sky was about to collapse.
And within this heavy darkness, a dazzling sword Qi descended from the heavens, cleaving through the landscape and disseminating an energetic shockwave, its target Qian Dongjin.
The look of self-assured victory that Qian Dongjin wore moments ago was replaced by one of shock when he felt the terrifying strength of Lin Bai’s sword strike. He attempted to resist with his cultivation skill in a rush, but the sword Qi descended in an instant.
"No!" Qian Dongjin yelled, his face transforming from smugness to shock as his two separate fists struck the sword Qi, failing to shatter it.
"What?! My punch can’t even withstand this sword Qi?"
Qian Dongjin screamed in horror.
The sword Qi still roared towards him. Feeling a great fear, Qian Dongjin yelled, "Mountain and River Shattering Fist!"
The Mountain and River Shattering Fist was a first-grade warrior skill at the Earth Martial Realm with immense power. Now that it was utilized by Qian Dongjin, it was particularly formidable.
He managed to just counteract eight parts of the sword Qi’s energy with a series of punches. However, the remaining two parts viciously struck him, sending him flying away. His whole body was covered in bloody sword marks made by the force of the sword’s light.
"Hey, wasn’t you who said you were going to use one hand?" Lin Bai said, chuckling.
With a tremor in his eyes, Qian Dongjin exclaimed, "How could you have such an incredible sword skill, who are you?"
"Me?"
"Hehe, my name is Lin Bai."
Lin Bai answered calmly and lightly.
