The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2629 - 2604: Nine Saints Barrier Formation

The night stretched on endlessly. Warriors inside Heavenly Destiny Pass stared gravely at the massive throng of black-robed fighters gathered beyond the city walls, astonishment clear on their faces.

The sun climbed from the east, casting its first warm beam across the land.

With that initial sunlight came a thick veil of yellow mist rolling toward Heavenly Destiny Pass...

Shi Zhongxian and Leng Yun stood side by side atop the city wall. Spotting the oncoming yellow smoke, they cried out in alarm, "They’re here, they’re here, the Demon Sect is here!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Dong dong dong..."

Alerts for the enemy echoed through Heavenly Destiny Pass, while the death knell started tolling. Warriors hurried up to the walls and peered into the distance.

A colossal yellow fog blotted out the sky first. As it neared, the "buzzing" of wings flapping reached their ears.

As the yellow smoke closed in on Heavenly Destiny Pass, Gu Daozhi bellowed gravely, "Reinforce the City Protection Array!"

"Reinforce the City Protection Array!"

"Reinforce the City Protection Array!"

A shrill voice pierced the air.

At that instant, above Heavenly Destiny Pass, multiple icy blue light screens dropped down with great force.

Boom boom boom—

Lin Bai glanced skyward and beheld nine tiers of icy blue light barriers enveloping Heavenly Destiny Pass in protection.

Standing next to Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin gasped in wonder, "The Nine Saints Barrier Formation of the ancient family in the North Courtyard!"

The ancient North Courtyard family of East Continent Academy belongs to Chen Qing. This clan specializes in formations, researching them since ancient times.

Nearly two-thirds of today's formations across the East Continent trace back to the Chen Family.

The Nine Saints Barrier Formation stands as one of the Chen Family's supreme techniques.

Once East Continent Academy reached Heavenly Destiny Pass, the Chen Family promptly deployed the Defensive Formation!

Nine layers of icy blue light screens shielded Heavenly Destiny Pass completely.

The yellow smoke charged ahead and smashed against the initial light screen, getting fully halted in an instant.

Warriors within Heavenly Destiny Pass now clearly saw the yellow smoke consisted of countless Yellow Wasps, each no bigger than a fingertip.

Their blazing speed, endless mid-air weaving, and overwhelming numbers made them resemble a drifting yellow cloud from afar!

Gu Daozhi commanded coldly right then, "Open the formation gap, all disciples! Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Gu Daozhi’s order resounded across Heavenly Destiny Pass.

In that moment, a breach formed in the nine-layer light screen beyond the city walls.

Warriors inside the city, tense and ready, burst outward.

"Charge!"

"Charge!"

"Charge!"

East Continent Academy warriors streamed onto the battlefield one after another.

Shi Zhongxian’s gaze sharpened, and he vaulted forth!

Leng Yun leaped right behind.

Lan Yuxin left Lin Bai’s side and plunged into the fray.

Now, inner disciples, outer sect disciples, registered disciples, and almost every quasi holy son from East Continent Academy charged into battle.

Watching the spectacle, Lin Bai spoke calmly to Bai Xiaoxiao, "You are not a disciple of the East Continent Academy. You don’t need to take action, and you are one of the commanders of this battle, so don’t leave Heavenly Destiny Pass!"

Lin Bai pulled the Demonic Sword from the Blackwood Scabbard and eyed Bai Xiaoxiao.

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded faintly. She knew that as the Saint of East Continent Academy, Lin Bai had no choice but to fight on!

Bai Xiaoxiao cautioned, "Be careful, the Demon Sect is full of schemes, there might be other changes!"

"If you’re injured, retreat to Heavenly Destiny Pass immediately!"

Lin Bai nodded subtly, his silhouette blurring as he pierced the Nine Saints Barrier Formation and landed amid the battlefield!

Disciples of East Continent Academy all wore white robes.

For their academy uniforms were chiefly white.

Demon Sect warriors, however, donned black robes entirely.

High above, Wending Realm powerhouses observed the black and white armies smashing together.

Tens of thousands of meters.

Thousands of meters.

Hundreds of meters!

Ten meters!

Ultimately, the black and white forces clashed violently!

Suddenly, spiritual energy rocketed into the heavens, sword qi streaked through the air, palm strikes thundered, fist arts quaked the firmament, arrays burst into flames, and every technique was unleashed in full force!

Blade qi and sword energies, spear power and cracking long whips!

"Those East Continent Academy disciples are loaded with treasures!"

"Kill them! Slay these East Continent Academy disciples and seize all their treasures!"

"Take down the quasi holy sons!"

The Demon Sect warriors surged forward, howling with savage laughter.

"A bunch of devil path scum!"

"All of you must perish!"

"You destroyed my homeland—I’ll never share the same sky with you!"

East Continent Academy warriors bellowed furiously without cease, slaying foes with burning killing intent.

Disciples from the East Continent Academy hailed from the Vast Territory of the East Continent, yet the East Continent Sword Area had been thrown into chaos by the Demon Sect, leaving people unable to live in peace; in numerous regions, the Demon Sect’s flags waved brazenly!

These East Continent Academy disciples harbored utmost hatred for this outrage!

Every disciple stormed straight into the fray.

Lin Bai joined the charge without hesitation!

"Zhanlong Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai charged into the melee, unleashing a furious sword slash as sword aura plummeted from above.

That single stroke felled over a dozen black-robed warriors beneath Lin Bai’s sword aura.

Yet Demon Sect martial artists swarmed in endless numbers, leaving Lin Bai’s expression calm and cold. His form blurred in motion, releasing two flying swords from his body that rampaged with invincible momentum.

The flying swords flashed, and another warrior crumpled dead under Lin Bai’s blades!

Revolving around Lin Bai, the pair of flying swords exterminated every warrior within a hundred meters!

As Lin Bai directed his two flying swords, he himself dashed forward, diving deep into the battle’s core.

Combining Lin Bai’s dual flying swords with the Demonic Sword he wielded, hundreds of Demon Sect martial artists perished by his hand in mere moments!

"My God!"

"This guy’s insanely powerful!"

"Damn, those flying swords are horrifying—touch them and you’re dead or crippled!"

"This is... Lin Bai!"

"He’s the Saint of the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai!"

"No wonder he’s so formidable—he’s the East Continent Academy’s Saint!"

"We can’t take him; let’s target easier East Continent Academy fighters!"

Numerous Demon Sect warriors identified Lin Bai and refused to clash further, fleeing to hunt simpler prey among the East Continent Academy ranks.

Lin Bai wielded his single sword like a god in an uninhabited realm, battling with ferocious intensity!

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Along his path, Lin Bai carved through enemies, drenching the ground in blood.

Suddenly, Lin Bai dropped to one knee, smashing his left palm into the earth; the Devouring Sword Spirit’s power surged within him, birthing a colossal pulling force from below the soil.

The instant this devouring force appeared, expanding from Lin Bai at its center, a tremendous energy ripped apart every warrior in a thousand-meter radius!

They vanished in a blink, erased by some unseen might!

Their blood trickled to the ground drop by drop, absorbed into Lin Bai’s palm, transforming into refined energy that poured into his Divine Elixir.

In that instant, Lin Bai’s Divine Elixir not only advanced his cultivation but also replenished the spiritual power he’d expended.

With one palm strike from Lin Bai, a thousand-meter expanse lay barren, devoid of even a single blade of grass.

Such devastating might stunned every fighter on the battlefield.

Inside Heavenly Destiny Pass, Gu Daozhi and his companions cheered ecstatically, "Amazing! Saint Lin Bai’s strike obliterated thousands of Demon Sect warriors—what a rush!"

"What cultivation skill wields such overwhelming might!"

"Doesn’t matter the skill—as long as it butchers these Demon Sect scum, it’s perfect."

The Wending Realm powerhouses watching over the clash from Heavenly Destiny Pass couldn’t hold back their thrilled exclamations.
