The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2644 - 2619: Lin Bai, Are You Ready?

As hordes of Corpse-eating Ants and Yellow Smoke Bees swarmed the battlefield, death itself descended; warriors from East Continent Academy proved utterly helpless against this vast onslaught of venomous horrors.

Gu Daozhi, host of the Wending Realm battle, averted his eyes from the battlefield.

Instead, Bai Xiaoxiao, a commander in this clash, fixed her gaze sharply on the chaos. Her expression turned grave as she witnessed fighters dropping dead in eerie fashion one after another.

Bai Xiaoxiao urgently commanded Gu Daozhi, "Hurry, order all warriors to pull back to Heavenly Destiny Pass, and get the Chen Family powerhouses from East Continent Academy to mend the Nine Saints Barrier Formation!"

Gu Daozhi responded icily, "What’s happening?"

Bai Xiaoxiao replied coldly, "The Demon Sect Master has acted. If the warriors don’t retreat right away, casualties will only mount. Fall back first."

Gu Daozhi glanced toward the battlefield, where endless warriors dissolved into pus and gore, and others vanished entirely, consumed without a trace of flesh or bone.

"All disciples, fall back to Heavenly Destiny Pass!"

At once, Gu Daozhi pulled out the Sound Transmission Token, employing East Continent Academy’s special technique to relay the command to every academy warrior.

Immediately, East Continent Academy disciples on the battlefield withdrew swiftly, racing back to Heavenly Destiny Pass.

At the same time, inside Heavenly Destiny Pass, Tiger King and Snake King, together with the surviving Wending Realm experts of Tiangang Thirty-Six Stars, burst forth from the pass to confront the Demon Sect’s powerhouses.

The clash between East Continent Academy and the Demon Sect reignited!

After over half a day of fierce fighting, both forces appeared back at square one!

Watching the throngs of East Continent Academy warriors retreat into Heavenly Destiny Pass, Bai Xiaoxiao drew a Sound Transmission Token from her Storage Bag and murmured softly, "Have they arrived?"

Moments later, a youthful voice echoed from the Sound Transmission Token, "Already reached Jianghai Region."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao exhaled deeply; the strain on her face eased slightly, a faint smile gracing her lips.

"The true war begins now!"

Bai Xiaoxiao declared coldly.

All East Continent Academy warriors had withdrawn behind Heavenly Destiny Pass, as Chen Family members from the academy poured their efforts into restoring the Nine Saints Barrier Formation.

Now, the Wending Realm Great Perfection powerhouses—Gu Lianxing, Gutian Xuan, Lan Yuanshan, Lan Yuanqing, Chen Xinghe, Kong Wu, Zhang Xifeng, and Shi Ziliang—lined the city walls.

Gu Daozhi and the Outer Sect Master drew deep breaths.

All quasi Holy Sons had also returned to Heavenly Destiny Pass. In this battle, not a single quasi Holy Son fell. Though many suffered grave wounds, none faced mortal peril, fortunately.

Lin Bai and Lan Yuxin approached Bai Xiaoxiao, positioning themselves near Gu Daozhi.

Ahead, before Heavenly Destiny Pass, vast numbers of Demon Sect martial artists assembled, massing in front of the Nine Saints Barrier Formation.

In the skies, swarms of Yellow Smoke Bees blanketed the heavens, clustering thickly beyond the Great Array.

Beneath the ground, Lin Bai faintly spotted bronze-hued ants bursting from the soil, only to plunge back underground and vanish completely.

Before the Great Array, the Four Great Dharma Kings, Tiangang Thirty-Six Stars, Seventy-two Earthly Demons, and surviving Heavenly Palace’s 108 Generals arrayed in formation, staring toward Heavenly Destiny Pass.

Bai Xiaoxiao eyed Lin Bai and whispered faintly, "The Demon Sect Master has made her move; she’s clearly out of patience and plans to unleash her full might!"

"Lin Bai, are you prepared?"

Bai Xiaoxiao inquired coldly.

Lin Bai gave a faint smile and replied, "I’ve battled on the front lines for half a day, and now you ask if I’m ready? Of course, I’ve prepared fully!"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded without emotion, "Good!"

In that instant, Bai Xiaoxiao’s form rose slowly into the air, hovering at the Nine Saints Barrier Formation’s brink, her imperial robe flowing as her supreme empress aura left all warriors in awe and admiration.

"Is attacking Jianghai Region such a grand affair truly just these scant powerhouses from your Demon Sect?"

"Demon Sect Master, since you’ve come, why hide? Reveal yourself."

Bai Xiaoxiao challenged aloud.

The Four Great Dharma Kings regarded Bai Xiaoxiao with blank faces, their demeanors utterly unshaken.

Amidst the countless black-clad warriors behind the Four Great Dharma Kings, a pathway gradually parted, as if a prominent figure was making their way forward step by step!

Bai Xiaoxiao gazed at the pathway, peering through the rising wolf smoke in front, where she faintly spotted a woman approaching slowly.

"The Demon Sect Master is coming?"

"The war has raged for so long, yet we haven't encountered the Demon Sect Master."

"True, legends say that wherever the Demon Sect Master passes, everything turns to desolation; anyone who glimpses her is already dead!"

"I wonder if the Demon Sect Master really possesses three heads and six arms to unleash such massive turmoil across the East Continent."

Upon the city walls, disciples of East Continent Academy one after another held their breaths, staring fixedly at the Demon Sect martial artists ahead.

Lin Bai’s eyes trailed along as well.

Lin Bai felt the same burning curiosity about the identity of this Demon Sect Master!

From within the Demon Sect martial artists, a formidable aura burst forth from the pathway, slamming into the Nine Saints Barrier Formation.

"I was wondering who controlled the array in Jianghai Region; it turns out to be Emperor Xiao of Shenwu Kingdom. I never thought you'd arrive in Jianghai Region to command the fight?" A soft, feminine laugh echoed out.

In that pathway, a massive white snake exceeding a hundred meters in length gradually emerged before everyone's eyes.

Upon spotting that white snake, a flicker of shock appeared in Lin Bai’s eyes.

Lin Bai could never erase this white snake from his memory!

For once, the entire Lingdong region across all nations nearly fell to ruin because of this exact white snake!

This white snake served as the sacred beast of the Lingdong Five Poison Sect, forever locked in deep slumber.

During the fierce Lingdong battle years prior, the Five Poisons Sect Leader resorted to extreme actions and roused this white snake; at that time, without Lin Bai and Hong Su teaming up, with Hong Su deploying "Sleep Song" to force the white snake back into slumber, every warrior in Lingdong would have perished under its fangs!

"It’s her!"

Lin Bai stared blankly at the white snake.

Next, as the white snake came into view for all the warriors.

The warriors all raised their heads slightly, beholding atop the white snake’s head a barefoot woman in white robes, her features stunningly gorgeous, her crimson lips temptingly vibrant.

Her flowing white hair danced in the breeze; she resembled not a exiled heavenly beauty, but a bewitching enchantress set on ensnaring souls!

When Lin Bai laid eyes on the barefoot white-robed woman standing on the white snake’s head, his feelings crumbled, his pupils fractured, and the demonic sword he clutched so firmly slipped from his grasp to the ground.

Clang—

The demonic sword tumbled from Lin Bai’s fingers, burying itself into the earth.

Next to Lin Bai, Lan Yuxin gaped at him in astonishment; she understood perfectly that no Sword Cultivator would ever release their Treasure Sword!

But at this moment, Lin Bai couldn’t even grip his own sword!

Lan Yuxin noticed Lin Bai’s face twisted in utter horror as he gazed at the white-robed woman in utter disbelief, paused for a long moment, then with a quivering voice softly uttered: "Ye Suxin..."
