The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2672 - 2647: Serene Courtyard

Stepping into the courtyard, Lin Bai found the moonlight carrying a gentle chill.

The grounds were adorned with numerous flowers and plants, some emitting a captivating luminescence that illuminated the pathways. Amidst this floral tapestry, countless glowing insects danced in the night air.

Lin Bai advanced further into the courtyard, only to discover it eerily vacant.

"Hmm? Didn't Tang Yuezhi wish to see me?"

"Why is this courtyard deserted?"

A peculiar expression settled on Lin Bai's face.

Just then, a strange sound emanated from a nearby room, drawing Lin Bai's curiosity as he moved to investigate.

Rumble——

A deep, muffled sound reverberated, akin to distant thunder.

Instantly, the spiritual power within the courtyard became turbulent.

"Hmm?" Lin Bai's brow furrowed, his movements growing more deliberate as he cautiously approached the source of the disturbance.

Arriving at the exterior of a room, Lin Bai observed that its walls and windows were threaded with strands of dark, crackling lightning.

"Could this be Black Water Divine Thunder?"

These bolts of lightning bore a striking resemblance to the ones he had previously witnessed on Ban Ye.

"However, these Black Water Divine Thunders appear significantly more potent than Ban Ye's, exuding a much greater intensity, as if on the verge of uncontrolled escape!"

"Is Tang Yuezhi engaged in combat?"

Lin Bai mused aloud.

Lin Bai drew progressively nearer to the room.

Peering through the crevices of the room's structure, Lin Bai caught sight of the interior.

Within, Lin Bai observed a woman seated cross-legged upon the ground, enveloped by swirling bolts of dark lightning.

At that precise moment, the woman's eyes snapped open, fixing their cold gaze upon the exterior of the room before she commanded, "Who is there!"

With a resounding boom!

In that instant, the violent and untamed black lightning within the room erupted, reducing the entire chamber to a pile of rubble.

The terrifying concussive force expanded outwards, compelling Lin Bai to immediately channel his spiritual power and retreat.

A woman clad in white robes, her countenance ashen, emerged from the wreckage!

Meanwhile, far away on the Tang family's ancestral path, Tang Yang and Nie Qian'er registered the explosion originating from Tang Yuezhi's abode, prompting Tang Yang to remark with a laugh, "Ah, it appears they are poised to make their move?"

Nie Qian'er responded with evident anxiety, "After nightfall, the young lady strictly prohibits any intrusion into her residence; not even the Patriarch is permitted entry, and I myself cannot step foot inside!"

"Now that Guest Official Lin Bai has ventured in, he is sure to incur the young lady's wrath. If she becomes enraged, she might very well terminate Guest Official Lin Bai!"

Tang Yang offered a faint smile, his demeanor betraying the satisfaction of a successfully orchestrated scheme.

Nie Qian'er declared, "I must depart the Tang family!"

...

Back in the courtyard, as the dark lightning unleashed its fury, Lin Bai swiftly evaded the onslaught.

From amidst the debris, a woman in white robes emerged, her expression frigid.

Black lightning continuously snaked around her white garments.

"Young lady, I am Guest Official Lin Bai of the Tang family, and you..." Lin Bai hastily clasped his hands, attempting to articulate his purpose.

However, at this juncture, Tang Yuezhi’s face contorted with cold fury, and the terrifying black lightning coursing through her began to surge outwards as she berated him, "Tang family Guest Official? Are you unaware that no one is permitted to disturb my sanctuary?"

"You have trespassed into my residence, a transgression punishable by death!"

"Even as a Guest Official, you shall perish!"

As she uttered these words, Tang Yuezhi advanced, a blade of formidable sharpness flying from her storage bag. Black lightning coiled around the gleaming sword, hurtling towards Lin Bai.

The moment the sword was thrust, Lin Bai was immediately assailed by an overwhelming wave of power!

The destructive aura instantly convulsed the surroundings.

Witnessing Tang Yuezhi's aggressive action, Lin Bai's complexion shifted dramatically. This woman's cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Death Reversal Realm, and her mastery of the 'Black Water Divine Thunder Skill' granted her formidable might!

Lin Bai dared not show any leniency.

Without uttering a word, Lin Bai drew the demonic sword from his storage bag and executed a powerful thrust.

The two blades met violently in mid-air, the immense force unleashed immediately dissipating outwards, utterly obliterating the tranquility of Tang Yuezhi's formerly serene courtyard!

"Young lady, I implore you, listen to me..." Lin Bai called out after successfully parrying the young lady's strike.

Upon seeing Lin Bai's defense, a flicker of astonishment crossed Tang Yuezhi's face, yet her indifference deepened. She disregarded Lin Bai's plea and continued to control her sharp sword, relentlessly attacking him!
