The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2612 - 2587: Reunion with an Old Friend!

With a ferocious strike, the Tiger King heavily wounded Lin Bai and his comrades in one devastating blow. Had he wished to end their lives right then, that attack would have surely claimed them all.

The Tiger King stepped toward Lin Bai, a smile curling his lips as he began to speak.

Hu Xiner stood behind Lin Bai, her face etched with gravity. Her hand rested lightly on her storage bag, poised to unleash the Blood God Robe for a final stand against the Tiger King!

Lin Bai eyed the Tiger King steadily and declared calmly, "Although the East Continent teems with countless powerhouses, those who reach Great Perfection of the Wending Realm are exceedingly rare!"

"I’m very curious about what kind of face hides beneath your mask!"

"I’m even more curious about the method that Demon Sect Master used to bind a Great Perfection Wending Realm warrior like you in undying loyalty."

The Tiger King let out a laugh while gazing at Lin Bai, then said, "No need for you to know that. Lin Bai, choose: submit to the Demon Sect and live, or take the path to the Netherworld right here?"

Lin Bai’s face grew stern, a chill settling over his features.

Before Lin Bai could reply, Lan Yuxin spoke coldly from behind him: "Even if death claims us, we’ll never turn into the Demon Sect’s lapdogs!"

Having witnessed the Dynasty of Beasts’ utter devastation, Lan Yuxin harbored a hatred for Demon Sect martial artists that cut to her core. She voiced her words coldly without a second thought.

The Tiger King cast a glance at Lan Yuxin and replied icily, "What a shame. The East Continent Academy’s Saint and a Lan Clan powerhouse will soon fall to my hand."

The Tiger King offered no more talk. He lifted his palm, ready to crush down onto Lin Bai’s head.

Lin Bai maintained his frosty look, the devouring sword spirit within him stirring silently.

Hu Xiner readied herself to summon the Blood God Robe.

Yet in that instant, a woman’s voice echoed from behind the Tiger King: "Senior Tiger King, shouldn’t you be heading to the Soul-breaking Area now?"

"Why remain in the Dynasty of Beasts?"

At the sound of the woman’s voice, the Tiger King froze, his lifted palm halting in midair. He turned to see a woman in a black silk dress striding forward, her expression as frigid as frost.

Lin Bai lifted his gaze, and spotting this woman, surprise flashed across his face once more.

"It’s Envoy Hua Yuxian. I planned to depart, but as I was leaving, I saw the Demon Sect facing some trouble, so I intervened to assist!" the Tiger King stated with a subtle smile.

The black silk-dressed woman drew close, her face icy as she positioned herself beside the Tiger King and fixed her eyes on Lin Bai.

Right then, Lin Bai’s eyes widened in utter shock as he stared at her...

This woman was none other than Hua Yuxian!

Hua Yuxian, the Saintess of the Five Poison Sect from the Territories of all nations. Years prior, in the Lingdong battle within the Territories of all nations, the Five Poison Sect endured a crushing loss. Owing to Lin Yue’s role, Lin Bai had granted Hua Yuxian mercy.

Back then, Hua Yuxian fled the Territories of all nations with her parents, vanishing from the East Continent.

When Lin Bai first joined the East Continent Academy, he intended to track them down, but pressing matters continually delayed his search.

Lin Bai never imagined that after such a long absence from the East Continent, Hua Yuxian had risen to become one of the Demon Sect’s Eight Great Envoys!

Hua Yuxian regarded Lin Bai blankly and told the Tiger King, "So it’s Lin Bai, Saint of the East Continent Academy, and Lan Yuxin, Tianjiao of the Lan Clan..."

"Ha ha!"

"Thank you, Senior Tiger King, for stepping in. Without your help, the Dynasty of Beasts’ present warriors would’ve struggled to overcome them."

Hua Yuxian smiled while looking at the Tiger King as she said this.

The Tiger King offered a faint smile and remained silent.

Hua Yuxian continued, "But I remember the Sect Leader assigned me to clear the battlefield in the Dynasty of Beasts, while ordering you to the Soul-breaking Area!"

"With them now badly hurt, Senior Tiger King, you needn’t act. I’ll take care of them."

"Besides, Lin Bai the East Continent Academy Saint and Lan Yuxin the Lan Clan Tianjiao aren’t mere mortals. Alive, they hold far greater value than dead!"

"Do you grasp my intent, Senior Tiger King?"

Hua Yuxian inquired with a smile.

The Tiger King gave Hua Yuxian a slight smile and replied, "I understand. Since Envoy Hua Yuxian has plans, I leave these three in your hands!"

"I’ll proceed to the Soul-breaking Area immediately."

As he finished, the Tiger King shot into the skies, departing the Dynasty of Beasts.

Once the Tiger King had gone, Hua Yuxian drew a golden rope from her storage bag. With a flick of her wrist, the rope slithered like a living thing, binding Lin Bai and his companions securely.

Hua Yuxian then commanded the nearby Demon Sect martial artists coldly: "Keep scouring the Imperial City for survivors. These three are mine!"

"Yes, Envoy, sir."

"Yes, Envoy, sir."

The Demon Sect martial artists around them answered together.

Right away, the Demon Sect martial artists bounded off, vanishing into the Imperial City.

Hua Yuxian then seized one end of the rope and soared away from the Imperial City, dragging Lin Bai and his companions along.

During the flight, Hu Xiner tried to pull out the Blood God Robe.

Lin Bai caught it and signaled her with a glance to hold off.

Reading Lin Bai’s eyes, Hu Xiner refrained from rash action.

Hua Yuxian bore Lin Bai and the others beyond the Imperial City, her gaze warily sweeping for any tails.

In time, she transported Lin Bai and his group to a Lonely Mountain beyond the Dynasty of Beasts’ Imperial City.

Thud!

Hua Yuxian flung Lin Bai and his companions onto the ground, her eyes locked on the distant skyline in silence.

Hu Xiner observed Lin Bai solemnly, awaiting his signal. The instant he approved, she’d deploy the Blood God Robe to slay Hua Yuxian.

Truth be told, though the Blood God Robe couldn’t match the Tiger King, it far exceeded what was needed against Hua Yuxian.

Lan Yuxin noted Hua Yuxian hauling them to this Lonely Mountain and standing mute, staring afar. She demanded coldly without delay: "What’s your game? Capture us but spare our lives?"

"Do you still expect us to join the Demon Sect?"

"Forget it. We’ll never join the Demon Sect!"

Lan Yuxin stated coldly.

"Ha ha!" Hua Yuxian let out a soft laugh, pivoting to approach Lan Yuxin and lifting her chin gently with her fingers.

This action resembled a debauched playboy’s flirtation.

"Let go of me!" Lan Yuxin shot Hua Yuxian a venomous glare, snapping coldly.

Startled, Hua Yuxian yanked her hand back, grinning as she said, "You’re quite fortunate with two such beauties, but isn’t Lan Yuxin overly fierce? Can you manage her?"

"Cousin!"

Hua Yuxian remarked with a smile.

"Cousin?" Lan Yuxin stared at Hua Yuxian in disbelief.

Hu Xiner stood utterly bewildered as well!
