The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2667 - 2642: Mo Qian

Tang Long’s thoughts drifted back to his prior encounter with Lin Bai. When Tang Long's formidable punch had been aimed at Lin Bai, a suffocating wave of killing intent and sword aura had washed over him. Within this menacing aura, Tang Long had felt as though he was on the brink of being torn limb from limb. At that very moment, he sensed a terrifying presence; it felt as though, despite the hundred-meter distance, Lin Bai possessed over a hundred methods to end his life during his charge.

Yet, Lin Bai had refrained from acting!

It was only as Tang Long's punch halted directly before Lin Bai that realization dawned upon him... If Lin Bai had intended to kill him, he could have done so with utmost ease from the moment he made his move until the point of impact. Such power far surpassed that of a mere senior Guest Official!

Consequently, with his fist stopped short, Tang Long had acknowledged Lin Bai's capability, granting him the title of senior Guest Official.

"Ban Ye, what is this individual’s background?" Tang Long inquired softly.

Ban Ye responded, "I am not entirely clear on his origins either. He claims he is not from Black Water City but from another city, having lost his way and seeking a place for cultivation."

"That is why I recommended he seek out the Tang Family!"

"Furthermore, we encountered him within the Earth Snake Forest..."

"With his own strength, he annihilated hundreds of Earth Snakes and even compelled the formidable Snake King, the ruler of the Earth Snake Forest, to offer an apology and a gift of a thousand pounds of Black Gold Divine Iron!"

Ban Ye recounted the events in the Earth Snake Forest.

Upon hearing Ban Ye’s account, Fatty and the others were filled with astonishment.

Fatty exclaimed, "Whoa, is this fellow truly that potent?"

Tang De appeared shocked. "Ban Ye, you jest, surely?"

Tang Long’s face contorted in horror. "The king of the Earth Snake Forest personally offered a thousand-pound Black Gold Divine Iron as an apology?"

Ban Ye replied with a wry smile, "I suspected you wouldn’t believe me, so I hesitated to mention it. Truthfully, had I not witnessed it with my own eyes, I too would find it unbelievable!"

Tang De and Tang Long fell into a deep contemplation after hearing Ban Ye’s words.

After a prolonged period of thought, Tang Long stated coldly, "A cultivator of such caliber would not simply be lost. He must have ulterior motives for being here."

Ban Ye pondered carefully before adding, "Indeed, Protector Tang Long, this individual displayed a considerable interest in the Black Water Divine Thunder Art. He inquired about it extensively during our journey!"

"He is interested in the Black Water Divine Thunder Art?" Tang Long queried, a flicker of surprise crossing his face.

Tang De commented coldly, "Brother Tang Long, could he be a spy dispatched by Houtu City?"

Tang Long dismissed the notion with a shake of his head. "Impossible. If Houtu City were to send a spy, why would they choose someone so young? Moreover, even if he were a spy from Houtu City, why would they apply to be a Guest Official at our Tang Family? Would they not target the Zhao Family first?"

Tang De nodded in agreement, finding Tang Long’s reasoning sound.

Tang Long took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Lin Bai, who was on the field.

...

On the field.

Mo Qian’an, sensing that Tang Long no longer concerned himself with the matter, felt a surge of relief. A cold smile played on his lips as he regarded Lin Bai.

"Since Protector Tang Long offers no objection, breaking this man’s legs will incur no wrath from the Tang Family."

Mo Qian’an sneered inwardly, his eyes fixed on Lin Bai.

"You are the one about to become a senior Guest Official of the Tang Family, aren't you? Young Master Tang Yang instructed me to test your abilities. I shall allow you to make the first move, ensuring you cannot claim I bullied you later!" Mo Qian’an's face was alight with confidence.

Mo Qian’an was determined to impress Young Master Tang Yang by utterly defeating Lin Bai!

Lin Bai chuckled softly. "There is no need. If I were to make a move, you would find no opportunity."

Mo Qian’an scoffed. "Such arrogance! Do you truly believe that an elder such as myself, a Warrior at the Ninth Level of the Death Reversal Realm, cannot contend with you, a mere Seventh Layer practitioner?"

Lin Bai nodded with a smile, appearing amused.

Mo Qian’an sneered derisively. "Pathetic. I have traversed the Northern Continent for countless years, dispatching warriors like you innumerable times. Since you are so eager for death, I shall oblige!"

"However, you should be grateful to Young Master Tang Yang today; he merely desires your legs broken. Had it been my intention, I would have ended your life!"

Mo Qian’an declared sternly.

Lin Bai sighed, a hint of speechlessness in his tone. "You're still currying favor even at a time like this?"

"Are you some kind of reincarnated sycophant?"

Lin Bai remarked with a wry smile.

"What did you say! Kid, you’re courting death! Watch my fist!" Mo Qian’an was suddenly furious upon hearing this, his whole being like a sharp sword out of its sheath, his eyes glaring maliciously at Lin Bai.

With a punch thrown, a powerful force whipped up a storm, rushing towards Lin Bai.

Seeing Mo Qian’an’s powerful punch coming, Lin Bai neither dodged nor evaded, until the moment the punch reached him, the Demonic Sword from the Blackwood Scabbard suddenly unsheathed!

A streak of sword light flashed across the sky, piercing and hurting everyone’s eyes!

At that instant, the cold, merciless sword headed straight for Mo Qian’an’s throat.

"Not good!" Mo Qian’an felt horrified, as a murderous intent like a tide engulfed and drowned him, without further ado, he abandoned his attack, rapidly retreating to defend himself with all his might!

With a thunderous crash.

Mo Qian’an was heavily struck by Lin Bai’s sword, sent flying hundreds of meters away, landing on the ground in disarray, his face pale!

Witnessing Lin Bai’s single sword strike sending Mo Qian’an flying, Tang Long, Tang De, along with Uncle Ban Ye and Uncle Fatty were all dumbfounded.

"My gosh..." Fatty widened his eyes at Lin Bai, "Ban Ye, if I didn’t see wrong, Lin Bai just sent Mo Qian’an flying with one sword stroke, right?"

Ban Ye nodded, "Yes! Sent flying with one stroke!"

Tang Long smiled gently, thinking silently to himself: it seems my judgment just now was correct, this person is indeed a formidable Sword Cultivator!

In the field.

Lin Bai looked indifferently at Mo Qian’an, sheathed the Demonic Sword, and smiled, "Shall we continue? Isn’t my sword enough to qualify me as a senior Guest Official?"

A single sword strike sending a Ninth Level of Death Reversal Realm Warrior flying was enough to prove Lin Bai’s formidable strength.

However, Mo Qian’an at this moment was kneeling on one knee, the expression on his face was one of humiliation. Normally, he would never fight to the bitter end with Lin Bai, but now, in front of Tang Yang, Mo Qian’an was hesitant.

Mo Qian’an glanced at Tang Yang’s expression, which was gradually darkening, and thought coldly to himself, "If I don’t defeat this person today, I fear Young Master Tang Yang will be disappointed in me from now on!"

"Once Young Master Tang Yang is disappointed in me, when can I ever soar, when can I step into the Wending!"

Mo Qian’an’s expression grew colder, a murderous aura emanating from his body.

At this moment, when Mo Qian’an looked at Lin Bai again, his gaze was as fierce as that of a Beast!
