The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2631 - 2606: Fierce Battle!

Lin Bai's rampage across the battlefield had stunned the heroes, forcing all Demon Sect martial artists to veer a hundred meters away at the sight of him.

Thus, at this instant, no one lingered within a hundred meters of Lin Bai amid the chaos of battle.

Yet now, seven figures suddenly emerged, encircling him tightly.

Among those seven, Lin Bai spotted a familiar silhouette—Hua Yuxian.

Spotting Hua Yuxian, Lin Bai grinned and remarked, "Looks like the seven of you are the Eight Great Envoys of the Demon Sect, no wonder you're so young yet boast such impressive cultivation!"

"The Eight Great Envoys, truly extraordinary!"

Lin Bai commented with a faint smile.

Lin Bai hadn't realized they were the Demon Sect's Eight Great Envoys at first, but Hua Yuxian's presence made it obvious—these seven had to be them.

Yu Liang snarled coldly, "Hmph, we are indeed the Eight Great Envoys. Today, we come under orders to claim your head. Surrender your life, Lin Bai!"

Rage had long simmered in Yu Liang's heart, and now, without another word, he lunged straight at Lin Bai.

As Yu Liang charged, Jiang Ba surged forward as well.

The remaining envoys unleashed their attacks too.

Hua Yuxian paused briefly, clenched her teeth, and finally joined the assault!

Lin Bai directed his flying swords while gripping his demonic sword. Gazing at the seven foes closing in, his Sword Intention erupted, Sword Aura surging powerfully as he plunged into combat.

Inside Heavenly Destiny Pass, powerhouses from the East Continent Academy, Gu Daozhi included, watched in shock and cried out: "This is bad—the Demon Sect's Eight Great Envoys have located Lin Bai. They're uniting to slay him!"

"The Demon Sect's Eight Great Envoys... Blood Domain's top Tianjiao, Yu Liang!"

"Demon Dragon Domain's top Tianjiao, Jiang Ba!"

"Seven Stars Domain's top Tianjiao, Tian Bao!"

"Dark Realm's top Tianjiao, Night Lady!"

"..."

"Aside from Hua Yuxian, the other envoys are essentially the leading Tianjiaos from various mid-tier Territories in the East Continent's Vast Territory!"

"Plus, their cultivation levels far surpass Lin Bai's!"

"Clearly, the Demon Sect has showered them with abundant cultivation resources!"

Gu Daozhi and the others gasped in alarm.

"What are you all waiting for? Send Gu Xi and Gu Xing to aid Lin Bai at once!" Gu Daozhi commanded coldly.

Right away, an Elder from the Ancient Clan pulled out a Sound Transmission Token to reach the Ancient Clan's two Tianjiaos, Gu Xi and Gu Xing.

On the battlefield, not far from each other, Gu Xi and Gu Xing both furrowed their brows, retrieving Sound Transmission Tokens from their storage bags. After hearing the message, they scowled deeply and glanced toward Lin Bai's position.

The pair shared a look.

"You get the message too?" Gu Xi inquired.

Gu Xing stowed his Sound Transmission Token with a smirk, "The Elder wants us to back up Lin Bai. You game?"

Gu Xi replied icily, "Lin Bai slaughtered so many of our Ancient Clan's powerhouses, and now they expect us to help him? In his dreams! I'd rather he falls to the Demon Sect."

Gu Xing chuckled, "Same here. We'll blow off the Elder's order. Even back at Heavenly Destiny Pass, we can claim the battlefield shifted too fast—we couldn't break away to assist Lin Bai!"

Gu Xi laughed, "Perfect!"

With that, they resumed slaying foes on the battlefield, showing zero intent to aid Lin Bai.

Back in Heavenly Destiny Pass, Gu Daozhi noticed Gu Xi and Gu Xing's prolonged inaction, fury flickering across his face. He knew exactly what those two were thinking.

Another East Continent Academy Elder snapped coldly, "Elder Gu Daozhi, what's your Ancient Clan's fighters playing at? They got the command—why aren't they rushing to Lin Bai's side?"

Gu Daozhi darkened his expression, grinding his teeth as he muttered, "Likely tied up and unable to break free!"

"Enough chatter—contact the other Quasi Holy Sons right now!"

Gu Daozhi shot a fierce glare at Gu Xi and Gu Xing from afar, his heart turning cold. He inwardly cursed the pair for clinging to petty grudges at such a pivotal time.

Should this battle fail, not just the East Continent but the Ancient Clan itself would face utter doom!

Without the Ancient Clan, what good were old feuds with Lin Bai?

Immediately, Gu Daozhi drew out his Sound Transmission Token once more, summoning the Eastern Courtyard's other Quasi Holy Sons.

Shi Zhongxian got the directive and brushed it aside.

Leng Yun eyed the Sound Transmission Token briefly before dismissing it entirely.

Jian Kong let out a cold snort and refrained from acting.

Huo Fentian and Lin Yibing glanced toward Lin Bai, assessed the situation, and held back from aiding either side!

Tu Ziyun sneered outright and blatantly disregarded the command!

Gu Daozhi witnessed this sight, his features contorting in rage as he ground his teeth, staring daggers at the Eastern Courtyard's Quasi Holy Sons—at that instant, nobody under his authority followed orders!

"Elder Gu Daozhi, it appears that you, the current Patriarch of your Ancient Clan, hold less sway than I do as an Outer Sect Master!"

The Outer Sect Master counted among the Nine Elders of the Order Divine Court.

As the Quasi Holy Sons of the Eastern Courtyard dismissed Gu Daozhi, the Outer Sect Master chuckled and remarked.

Gu Daozhi snorted coldly, his fists clenched tight, teeth gritted, fury etched across his face.

Lin Bai now found himself surrounded by seven foes, pushed to the very brink of defeat.

"Hmph, Saint Lin Bai, see you in the next life!" In that instant, Yu Liang spotted a gap in Lin Bai's guard, his bloodied longsword thrusting savagely toward Lin Bai’s heart.

Lin Bai's face drained of color, unable to shift focus to parry Yu Liang’s strike since Jiang Ba and Night Lady had him trapped upfront.

In this perilous moment, yet another woman's voice rang out: "Lin Bai, come and meet your fate!"

Lin Bai whipped his head around to behold Hua Yuxian lunging from his left flank.

At this vital juncture, Hua Yuxian shoved Lin Bai aside with nimble force, her palm slipping beneath his arm to smash into Yu Liang’s sword blade.

Struck by Hua Yuxian’s palm, Yu Liang coughed up blood and tumbled backward.

"Hua Yuxian, what are you doing!" Yu Liang bellowed in outrage.

"He dodged—how was I to know you lurked behind him?" Hua Yuxian replied icily.

Yu Liang swore under his breath, then swiftly unleashed his sword arts once more, resuming his assault on Lin Bai.

Hua Yuxian drew in a deep breath as well, pressing her charge toward Lin Bai.

Suddenly, a tremor like the earth itself quaking boomed from the battlefield.

Lin Bai turned to look, spotting a tremendous force slamming into the clustered black-clad warriors ahead, flinging them wildly in every direction amid piercing screams!

Right then, a robust dark-skinned man erupted from the midst of the black-clothed warriors, hefting a colossal black iron sword over his shoulder!

"Blackstone... Roland Sword Nine!"

In astonishment, Lin Bai stared at the dark-skinned brute and exclaimed.

Just moments before, Blackstone Roland Sword Nine had rent the ground with a single mighty blow, catapulting hundreds of warriors airborne and obliterating them on the spot, then surged with that momentum into the fray where Lin Bai battled the Seven Envoys!

"Another idiot begging for death?" Yu Liang eyed Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and sneered coldly.

Blackstone Roland Sword Nine strode to Lin Bai's side with his massive sword, then slammed it down hard into the soil—the hefty blade sank seven inches deep—and he grinned, "I heard you’re in trouble."

"I came to give you a hand!"

Blackstone Roland Sword Nine boomed with laughter.

Eyeing Blackstone Roland Sword Nine's enormous sword, Lin Bai recalled its name: Taotie!
