The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2611 - 2586: Four Great Dharma Kings! Tiger King!

"Very tragic!" Lan Yuxin’s tone grew frigidly cold.

After a long stretch of silence, Lan Ling finally spoke, "The disciples from the East Continent Academy sent word back when the Dynasty of Beasts’ Imperial Palace was on the verge of collapse. They pulled back from the Imperial Palace and are now recuperating in a location inside the Dynasty known as ’Golden Tree City’!"

"Go seek them out and regroup."

Lan Yuxin gave a nod, "I get it, Father."

"Stay cautious," Lan Ling warned coldly. "The Dynasty of Beasts has only just collapsed, leaving Demon Sect warriors at their wildest and most ferocious!"

Lan Yuxin stored the Sound Transmission Token away and turned her gaze toward Lin Bai.

"Let’s head to Golden Tree City and track down the East Continent Academy disciples," Lin Bai declared. "We need to learn exactly what went down. How could the Dynasty of Beasts crumble so completely even after our earlier alert!"

Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner nodded faintly, casting reluctant looks around before shutting their eyes, ready to depart the Imperial Palace in search of the East Continent Academy disciples.

Yet right as the trio prepared to exit the Imperial Palace, a sneering voice echoed from atop a ruined palace: "Hmph, never thought any fish would slip through the net!"

The voice made Lin Bai and the others whirl around to stare at the figure perched on the rooftop.

Clad in black attire, black robes, and a black bamboo hat, this warrior radiated Death Reversal Realm cultivation, clearly a Demon Sect fighter.

Lin Bai’s eyes locked onto the distinctive curse mark bearing the words "Life and Death" etched on the man’s neck, confirming his status as an authentic Demon Sect martial artist.

"Survivors here!"

Spotting Lin Bai’s group of three, the Demon Sect martial artist bellowed at the top of his lungs.

In an instant, Lin Bai felt mighty auras surging toward them from every direction across the Dynasty of Beasts’ Imperial Palace. The incoming fighters all boasted at least Death Reversal Realm strength.

At that point, Lin Bai realized that any fighter at the Death Reversal Realm bearing the Life and Death Talisman on their neck marked them as real Demon Sect martial artists.

Those lacking Death Reversal Realm power or the Life and Death Talisman were mere fakes and pretenders.

Swish swish swish—

Black-clad shadows materialized everywhere around Lin Bai and his companions.

Within moments, hundreds of Death Reversal Realm powerhouses had encircled them!

These powerhouses spanned from the first up to the seventh level of the Death Reversal Realm.

"Looks like escaping won’t be straightforward," Lin Bai murmured lowly. "Stay alert—every one of them is a genuine Demon Sect martial artist, all marked with the Life and Death Talisman!"

"I hoped we’d avoid them, but they’ve come right to us!" Lan Yuxin snapped coldly.

Her face was etched with icy resolve.

Hu Xiner stayed quiet, quietly channeling her spiritual power in secret.

"Good thing we checked thoroughly, or these three fugitives might’ve slipped away. Brothers, slaying them lets us report success." A Demon Sect martial artist declared with chilling menace.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The hundred Demon Sect martial artists vaulted forward together, unleashing their techniques as they barreled toward Lin Bai and the others.

"Time to fight!" Lin Bai snorted coldly. The demonic sword within the Blackwood Scabbard hummed as it burst free, unleashing a ferocious sword aura that cleaved an advancing Demon Sect martial artist in one stroke!

"Blockade Heaven in One Breath!" Lan Yuxin advanced a step, her eyes flashing icy blue as she locked down time and space.

The seven Demon Sect martial artists lunging at Lan Yuxin froze solid in the void.

At the same time, Lan Yuxin slashed her sword in a wide arc, severing the heads of all seven in a single devastating sweep!

Hu Xiner blurred into motion, spiritual energy exploding outward. A single palm strike from afar pulverized a warrior mid-flight.

"Flying Sword!"

Lin Bai plunged into the throng of Demon Sect martial artists. With a thought, two flying swords streaked out to reap lives.

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

"Zhanlong Sword Skill!"

One devastating sword technique after another erupted from Lin Bai’s hands.

Sword light ravaged the battlefield, each pass claiming another Demon Sect martial artist’s life.

In mere moments, Lin Bai and his allies had butchered over half of the hundreds of Demon Sect martial artists.

The remaining Demon Sect martial artists fell back hastily, staring at Lin Bai and the others in sheer terror.

"Damn it, how are these three so powerful!"

"Their techniques don’t match disciples of the Dynasty of Beasts’ Royal Family!"

"True, their prowess resembles that of East Continent Academy martial artists..."

In that instant, the Demon Sect martial artists snapped to awareness, identifying Lin Bai and his group.

"East Continent Academy disciples aren’t our prey. Alert the Envoy." One Demon Sect martial artist swiftly drew the Sound Transmission Token from his Storage Bag to relay the news.

But the very second this Demon Sect martial artist pulled out the Sound Transmission Token to summon the Demon Sect envoy.

A colossal force plummeted from the clouds above.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai and the others’ faces twisted in shock as they gazed skyward.

The overwhelming force smashed down, blasting Lin Bai and his companions through the air.

The impact left Lin Bai and the others gravely wounded.

The other Demon Sect martial artists also gaped upward in dread at the cloud summit.

From the clouds descended a masked warrior wearing a golden mask, radiating an awe-inspiring heavenly pressure!

Strikingly, the golden mask featured intricate carvings of a heaven-devouring demon tiger...

"Tiger King Senior!"

"The Four Great Dharma Kings..."

"He hasn’t departed the Dynasty of Beasts after all?"

The Demon Sect martial artists gasped in astonishment at the sight of the cloud-top warrior.

This was none other than the Tiger King, one of the Demon Sect’s Four Great Dharma Kings!

Lin Bai lay ashen-faced on the ground, hacking up blood repeatedly. That prior strike had hit like a collapsing mountain.

Thankfully, Lin Bai had blocked promptly, bolstered by his sword array, Qingmu Divine Thunder, and body refining cultivation. Though reeling from the hit, he rose with battle strength intact.

Meanwhile, Lan Yuxin and Hu Xiner appeared pallid and frail, sprawled on the ground, eyeing the Tiger King in horror.

The Tiger King descended leisurely from the cloud summit, chuckling as he remarked, "Worthy of the East Continent Academy’s Saint—you withstood this old man’s punch directly and can still stand!"

Hearing the Tiger King’s words, the Demon Sect martial artists eyed Lin Bai in shock, exclaiming, "He’s the East Continent Academy’s Saint... Lin Bai himself!"

"Saint Lin Bai, no surprise his sword skills are so terrifying!"

"Yet facing the Tiger King at Great Perfection of the Wending Realm, even this East Continent Academy Saint is doomed to fall."

The Demon Sect martial artists murmured among themselves.

The Tiger King sauntered down from the cloud summit, halting before Lin Bai. Beneath the golden mask, his eyes gleamed with amusement as he offered, "Lin Bai, here’s your chance: pledge yourself to the Demon Sect right now, and none of you three will meet death today!"
