The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2673 - 2648: Divine Thunder Backlash! (Fifth Update)

"Perish!"

Tang Yuezhi's countenance was frigid; she utterly disregarded Lin Bai's words.

An ice-cold blade, imbued with a terrifying Thunderbolt Power, hurtled towards Lin Bai's visage.

Lin Bai swiftly evaded and retreated.

"Thousand Shadow Soul Snatcher!" A cold glint flashed in Tang Yuezhi's eyes as she brandished her sword, thrusting forward. Dark Thunderbolts erupted from her form, morphing into sharp blades that zeroed in on Lin Bai.

"Great Sun Chasing Skill!" Lin Bai immediately deployed his movement technique, artfully dodging the assault.

The dark Thunderbolts, now like sharpened steel, impacted the ground, carving out substantial craters.

"To think you could wield the Black Water Divine Thunder to such a degree!"

A flicker of astonishment crossed Lin Bai's features.

Tang Yuezhi grew even more incensed. Her successive sword attacks had all been circumvented by Lin Bai, fueling her fury. The fact that Lin Bai's cultivation was demonstrably lower than hers added a sting of shame to her anger.

"If I cannot even subdue a mere Warrior at the seventh layer of the Death Reversal Realm, how can I possibly contend for the position of City Lord or gain entry into the Sword God Family!" Tang Yuezhi's innermost thoughts ignited a tempestuous power within her.

"Young Miss, cease this!"

Lin Bai's voice rang out once more at this critical juncture.

"Enough of your futile words!" Tang Yuezhi bellowed, her entire being crackling with dark Thunderbolts, a furious tempest that threatened to rend the very skies, a destructive aura enveloping the small courtyard!

"Ten Directions Annihilation!"

Tang Yuezhi swiped her longsword, abruptly piercing the void.

Instantly, black Thunderbolts surged forth from her body, descending from the heavens.

Ten colossal pillars of dark Thunderbolt descended around Lin Bai, radiating a potent killing intent, and detonated in unison.

A devastating shockwave propagated outwards.

The fearsome black Thunderbolts instantly reduced a hundred-meter radius to rubble, creating a crater a hundred meters deep in the earth, a stark testament to the formidable might of this divine technique!

Beneath this awesome display, Lin Bai appeared utterly battered. His white robes were tattered, his flesh scorched, as if he had endured a strike from the heavens themselves!

"Still not dead?" Tang Yuezhi regarded Lin Bai with a measure of surprise.

Lin Bai's expression hardened as he calmly stated, "It appears the Young Miss is disinclined to heed my counsel today. If that is the case, I shall be compelled to defeat you first before we converse!"

"My apologies, Young Miss!"

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai's form became enveloped in a vibrant tri-color luminescence, accompanied by an awe-inspiring Sword Intention that radiated outwards from him.

"Zhanlong Drawing Sword Skill!"

A sword was drawn with palpable anger, its brilliant arc tearing through the firmament.

Confronted by the descending sword strike, a trace of consternation flickered across Tang Yuezhi's otherwise delicate features.

She hastily conjured a shield of dark Thunderbolts before herself.

"Black Water Divine Thunder's body protection technique!" Lin Bai observed this with a sense of familiarity. The Qingmu Divine Thunder under his command frequently served as his own defensive measure.

Witnessing Tang Yuezhi's current use of the Black Water Divine Thunder for protection, Lin Bai could not suppress a slight smile.

His blade met the Thundershield, shattering it with a resounding crack.

Tang Yuezhi's body shuddered, stumbling back several paces!

Concurrently, Lin Bai surged forward, the Great Sun Chasing Skill propelling him across a hundred meters of aerial distance, hurtling directly towards Tang Yuezhi.

"Courting destruction!" Tang Yuezhi's face contorted, her eyes blazing as she brandished her longsword, dark Thunderbolts surging once more towards Lin Bai.

Just as Tang Yuezhi was poised to engage Lin Bai in a fight to the bitter end.

Abruptly, Tang Yuezhi's face drained of color, and she expelled a mouthful of blood.

The dark Thunderbolts that had swirled around her dissipated with haste.

Tang Yuezhi's slender frame plummeted from mid-air, resembling a fallen celestial being.

Lin Bai's sword, which had been mere inches from Tang Yuezhi, stopped short as he found her collapsed upon the ground, her pristine skin cracking open, crimson blood erupting forth.

It appeared an internal force was violently and uncontrollably ravaging her body from within!

Lin Bai promptly retracted his blade, landing swiftly before Tang Yuezhi.

"What has transpired?"

Lin Bai inquired, his voice tinged with genuine surprise.

Tang Yuezhi lay prostrate, blood weeping from her fractured skin, her frame trembling faintly, her eyes fixed upon Lin Bai with a glacial glare.

Lin Bai paid no mind to Tang Yuezhi's hostile gaze, squatting down and reaching out to ascertain her condition.

"Do not presume to touch me!" Tang Yuezhi's voice trembled with fury as she saw Lin Bai's extended hand. "You wretch, you are fortunate I did not kill you today!"

Tang Yuezhi lashed out at Lin Bai with her words.

Lin Bai paused, yet did not withdraw his outstretched hand.

Positioned before Tang Yuezhi, Lin Bai placed his hand gently between her chest, allowing a delicate stream of spiritual power to flow from his palm, probing her internal state.

Filled with shame and rage, Tang Yuezhi glared at Lin Bai's hand on her chest, her voice a furious growl, "I will kill you, I will definitely kill you..."

From her earliest memories, Tang Yuezhi had been the treasured darling of the Tang Family. The mere thought of a man coming within three steps of her was met with utter disdain, let alone being touched.

Now, with Lin Bai's hand pressed directly against her chest, how could she possibly contain her fury!

Lin Bai paid no mind to Tang Yuezhi's threats, eventually withdrawing his hand and returning the Demonic Sword to his Storage Bag, as Tang Yuezhi was no longer a significant threat.

After securing the Demonic Sword, Lin Bai let out a chuckle. "You should conserve your strength. In your current state, you can barely even utter a word, let alone kill me!"

Tang Yuezhi shot Lin Bai a venomous glare. If she had the slightest ability to move, she would have lunged at him, tearing him limb from limb!

During his examination of Tang Yuezhi, Lin Bai detected the Black Water Divine Thunder constantly circulating, devastating her Dantian and bones, completely beyond her control.

Her body was rendered immobile by the overwhelming power of the Black Water Divine Thunder, leaving her incapable of movement except for her eyes and mouth.

"Without the Five Elements Divine Pill..." Lin Bai murmured pensively.

While inspecting Tang Yuezhi, Lin Bai was surprised to realize that she lacked the Five Elements Divine Pill. Although her Divine Elixir was quite potent, it was not the genuine article!

"Without the Five Elements Divine Pill, forcibly cultivating the Black Water Divine Thunder and attacking recklessly led to her body recoiling from the Thunderbolt, resulting in her current predicament!" Lin Bai deduced, finally understanding the reason for Tang Yuezhi's dire condition.

Lin Bai's own cultivation of "The Great Five Elements Secret Skill," the foundational component of the "Scripture of Five Elements," was primarily focused on condensing the Five Elements Divine Pill!

The Five Elements Divine Pill was absolutely essential for the subsequent stages of cultivating the "Scripture of Five Elements."

Clearly, Tang Yuezhi had not cultivated "The Great Five Elements Secret Skill"; instead, she had directly pursued the "Black Water Divine Thunder Skill." This led to reckless use of the Thunderbolt without the protection of the Five Elements Divine Pill, ultimately culminating in disaster.

This was precisely why Tang Yuezhi found herself in such a critical state!

She... had been overwhelmed by the backlash of the Black Water Divine Thunder!

Ps: Many readers have inquired about the absence of additional updates!

There are still 12 updates outstanding, and Emperor Sword One has not forgotten.

My initial plan was to complete all the owed updates before March, but writing twenty thousand words daily has proven far more challenging than Emperor Sword One had anticipated!

Furthermore, the narrative has recently transitioned to the Northern Continent, necessitating plot development which has consequently slowed down my writing pace.

However, rest assured, Emperor Sword One will certainly deliver the 12 updates that are owed!

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused everyone. Emperor Sword One expresses deep regret!
