The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2699 - 2674: Fierce Battle with the Moon God!

Lin Bai stepped into the Fighting Arena, his presence commanding attention.

From the opposite passage, a woman emerged, clad in a flowing black skirt. A silver-white Moon Crescent mask concealed the upper half of her face, revealing only her captivating, ruby-red lips.

She advanced with deliberate steps, exuding an aura as cold as frost and an elegance that seemed to transcend the mortal realm. Her bearing perfectly matched her moniker, Immortal of Moon—a deity poised above the Bright Moon, untouchable and revered.

Observing their simultaneous entry, Judge Ning Zheng offered a detached smile. "Today's bout promises an exceptional clash. I shall not intrude upon your preparations."

"If both parties are ready, you may commence," he declared.

With a light chuckle, Ning Zheng ascended into the heavens, taking his seat upon the Cloud Top to oversee the Martial Arts Competition.

Only Lin Bai and the Immortal of Moon now remained within the arena's confines.

Lin Bai turned his gaze to the Immortal of Moon, inquiring calmly, "I heard you sustained an injury? Is this true?"

Though Madam Yang had previously informed Lin Bai that the Immortal of Moon was, in fact, unharmed and that rumors of her injury were merely a strategy by Madam Yang to manipulate betting odds, Lin Bai posed the question nonetheless.

Before engaging the Immortal of Moon, he felt compelled to ask. A victory against an injured opponent, he believed, would be a hollow achievement, lacking honor.

The Immortal of Moon parted her crimson lips slightly, her voice like the biting chill of ice. "No!"

Lin Bai let out a laugh. "Excellent. Shall we begin then?"

The Immortal of Moon responded, "Since you have graced me with a question, may I also pose one to you?"

Lin Bai regarded the Immortal of Moon with a curious expression.

She continued softly, "A few days prior, during your battle with the Beast, I was among the spectators. It so happened that I too have cultivated the 'Black Water Divine Thunder Skill'!"

"However, the Black Water Divine Thunder I practice seems to wield less than half the might of yours!"

"I wish to understand the reason for this disparity," the Immortal of Moon inquired gently.

As she spoke, the Immortal of Moon recollected the day of the Beast's confrontation with Lin Bai. He had unleashed the Black Water Divine Thunder, commanding the winds and clouds, causing the very skies to convulse as if the world were ending.

While the Black Water Divine Thunder she cultivated was formidable, it paled in comparison to Lin Bai’s mastery.

Lin Bai offered a soft chuckle. "No comment."

The Immortal of Moon responded with a delicate laugh. "I understand your reluctance to divulge such secrets easily. Yet, I must know. Perhaps we could make a wager?"

"If I emerge victorious, you will instruct me on the method to control this Dharma technique!"

"Should I fall to your might, I shall never broach this subject again!"

"What do you say?" the Immortal of Moon proposed with a smile.

Lin Bai, without a moment's hesitation, laughed. "Agreed!"

The Immortal of Moon expressed surprise. "You consent so readily? Did you clearly comprehend my terms?"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly. "Is it not simply that if you defeat me, I reveal the method to control the Black Water Divine Thunder? I heard you quite distinctly!"

"You need not fret; you shall not defeat me."

"Given that you are unlikely to be my match, why would I refuse?"

"Once I have claimed victory, I trust you will honor your word and cease your inquiries regarding the control of the Black Water Divine Thunder," Lin Bai stated with unwavering confidence.

Beneath the mask, the Immortal of Moon’s eyes narrowed, a frigid glint of murderous intent flashing within them as she fixed her gaze coldly upon Lin Bai. "It is a deal. But today, I shall employ my full strength to vanquish you!"

As she spoke, tendrils of black lightning began to coil around the Immortal of Moon's form.

The formidable Black Water Divine Thunder surged forth from her core.

Simultaneously, she extended a hand, and a cold, gleaming longsword materialized. It was entirely black, yet it radiated a mystical power that seemed capable of consuming all light in existence!

Lin Bai's gaze fixed upon the sword clutched in the Immortal of Moon's hand, his eyes narrowing as he murmured to himself, "What a sword!"

Indeed, it was a remarkable blade.

The sword wielded by the Immortal of Moon bore the name 'Eternal Night,' a supreme-grade Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact, its power unimaginably terrifying!

Draped in black, wielding a black longsword, and enveloped by crackling black thunderbolts, the Immortal of Moon stood within the Martial Arts Competition Arena, resembling a divine entity.

"Please," Lin Bai said, a faint smile touching his lips.

The Immortal of Moon offered no verbal reply, her expression hardening into a chilling mask. She lunged forward, her form dissolving into countless receding shadows that surged towards Lin Bai. Each movement left a trailing arc of black thunderbolts in its wake.

A single sword strike descended, its Sword Qi imbued with the terrifying might of the Black Water Divine Thunder, scarring the earth and leaving desolation in its destructive path.

Lin Bai swiftly activated his movement technique, narrowly evading the onslaught of powerful strikes from the Immortal of Moon!

"Black Thunder Sword Skill!" Lin Bai's eyes gleamed as he recognized the technique.

After acquiring the complete "Black Water Divine Thunder Skill," Lin Bai had discovered numerous Martial Arts Divine Abilities within it, including the very sword skill the Immortal of Moon was now employing.

This particular sword skill was known to be one of the most potent within the entire Black Water Divine Thunder Skill.

Wisps of Black Water Divine Thunder danced around the Immortal of Moon's sword, hurtling towards Lin Bai.

At that moment, the Immortal of Moon cried out, "Sky Terminating!"

Crack Crack——

The Black Water Divine Thunder surged erratically, coalescing into a phantom sword shadow imbued with Thunderbolt Power, which descended upon Lin Bai.

This strike represented the zenith of the "Black Thunder Sword Skill"!

Lin Bai's eyes burned with intensity, a profound sense of life-or-death crisis overwhelming him.

Instantly, the Black Water Divine Thunder within Lin Bai erupted with fierce energy.

The heavens themselves shifted hue, clouds amassed, and countless Black Water Thunderbolts materialized between heaven and earth the moment Lin Bai's Black Water Divine Thunder surged forth.

"It's here!"

The Immortal of Moon, her eyes wide with apprehension, observed the chaotic surge of Black Water Thunderbolt Power surrounding them.

As Lin Bai's Black Water Divine Thunder exploded, its power directly overwhelmed the Immortal of Moon's own Black Water Thunderbolt.

Indeed, the Immortal of Moon had been correct; Lin Bai's Black Water Divine Thunder was demonstrably at least three times more potent than hers!

Black Water Thunderbolts began to circle Lin Bai.

Without hesitation, Lin Bai advanced directly towards the Immortal of Moon, the tempest of Black Water Thunderbolts accompanying his every move.

He unleashed a powerful punch!

Black Water Thunderbolts enveloped his fist, unleashing a formidable force that resonated through the void as it shot towards the Immortal of Moon.

"Seven Layer Thunderstorm Fist!" Lin Bai roared inwardly, pushing the power of his punch to its absolute limit.

Witnessing this, the Immortal of Moon immediately utilized a movement technique to retreat, exclaiming, "Thunder Shadow!"

Swish Swish Swish——

The Immortal of Moon left behind numerous fleeting afterimages as her true form rapidly withdrew a kilometer away.

Having narrowly dodged Lin Bai's fist technique, the Immortal of Moon swiftly raised her sword, unleashing a sky-piercing Sword Aura that swept across the Fighting Arena towards Lin Bai!

"Tianshe Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai's eyes widened in astonishment. He hastily retracted his punch, channeling the full might of the Black Water Thunderbolt to counter the force of the Immortal of Moon's devastating strike...
