The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2717 - 2692: Xu Guang’s Defeat!

A single sword strike, engulfed in blue-black Divine Thunder, unleashed a blinding silver-white sword aura aimed at Xu Guang.

As the attack approached, Xu Guang's pupils widened in shock, and he immediately retaliated with a fist technique: "Taigu Shattered Star Fist, Fifth Form, Nine Suns!"

Xu Guang unleashed nine consecutive punches in mid-air. The colossal fist imprints descended like burning suns, searing every inch of the land with their intense heat!

Lin Bai gazed upwards and swiftly moved with his movement technique.

The Demonic Sword was sheathed within the Blackwood Scabbard.

Holding his breath and focusing, Lin Bai's gaze turned icy as he observed the nine blazing suns descending from the sky.

Flashes of blue-black electricity crackled ceaselessly around the Blackwood Scabbard, radiating a potent, volatile energy.

"Five Elements Divine Thunder! Zhanlong Drawing Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai gritted his teeth and bellowed.

His right hand pressed against the Blackwood Scabbard, gathering the blue-black Thunderbolt in his palm. He drew the Demonic Sword, causing its radiant sword aura to instantly illuminate the heavens.

With a furious sword thrust.

An seemingly unstoppable streak of white sword light swept across the sky, leaving trails of blue-black Divine Thunder in its wake!

A sword strike that shook the heavens!

The sword qi surged forth, shattering the nine blazing suns in the void.

Xu Guang's eyes flared, and immense shock contorted his face as he coldly shouted: "Taigu Shattered Star Fist, Sixth Form, Star Plucking!"

Xu Guang took three deliberate steps forward in the air. With the third step, his expression grew ferocious, veins bulging on his face as he pushed his body's power to its absolute limit and punched downwards with immense force.

This single punch created a disturbance in the void.

As it landed, the entirety of Black Water City shuddered violently.

Countless martial artists below were stunned by the sheer power of that punch.

Indeed, enormous fissures, terrifying in scale, opened up throughout Black Water City, as if Xu Guang's punch threatened to tear the city apart!

Lin Bai felt a considerable pressure from this overwhelming force.

There was no question that Xu Guang's current might placed him as the strongest below the Wending Realm!

"Five Elements Divine Thunder! Zhanlong Trapping Sky Skill!"

Lin Bai let out a cold snort, and his sword darted out.

Powerful sword light directly clashed against Xu Guang's fist force.

The entire Fighting Arena resounded with earth-shattering roars.

The collision between sword and fist generated a shockwave that nearly annihilated the Fighting Arena!

Clouds of dust and smoke billowed thousands of feet high, obscuring the sun and sky!

The sword aura was majestic, the fist force absolutely terrifying!

The colossal battle between the two ignited waves of awe-struck gasps from the gathered spectators.

Following this impact, Xu Guang was sent flying backward awkwardly, crashing onto the ground and staggering hundreds of meters before regaining his balance.

However, just as Xu Guang stabilized himself, the latent sword qi and Thunderbolt power within his body erupted unexpectedly, dealing him a critical blow and causing him to spew blood before collapsing to the ground.

During their prior exchange, Lin Bai's sword qi and Thunderbolt had infiltrated Xu Guang's body, a force Xu Guang had initially managed to suppress. But now, gravely wounded, Xu Guang could no longer contain them, and they detonated simultaneously.

Xu Guang was annihilated from within by this unleashed sword qi and Thunderbolt, bleeding out and dying!

Lying on the ground, Xu Guang's eyes were vacant as he softly murmured: "The new replaces the old!"

"I... have lost!"

Meanwhile, Lin Bai remained aloft, surrounded by crackling thunderbolts and a formidable sword aura, appearing like a true Sword God!

"You still have one more punch!"

"I shall grant you the opportunity to consume some Elixir Pills, stabilize your injuries, recover your Spiritual Power, and deliver your final strike!"

"Come!"

Lin Bai stood proudly in mid-air, gazing down at Xu Guang with a cold expression and declared.

Xu Guang, dragging his severely injured and near-death body, struggled to his feet in the Fighting Arena. He looked up at Lin Bai and replied with a wry smile: "No need!"

Xu Guang shook his head slightly, withdrawing his imposing aura, and chuckled bitterly: "Xu Guang, Xu Guang, you were once a warrior who traversed the world; how has your thick skin grown with age!"

"Sword Demon, your cultivation at the seventh layer of the Death Reversal Realm being able to contend with me until this point, even forcing me to utilize the Sixth Form of the Taigu Shattered Star Fist, is a testament to your incredible strength!"

"There is no necessity for further combat!"

"I concede defeat; this Martial Arts Competition concludes here, wouldn't you agree?"

Xu Guang looked up at Lin Bai, who stood like a sentinel atop the clouds, and spoke calmly.

"Surrender!" Lin Bai descended from the sky, landing on the ground. He declared, "Since Senior doesn't wish to continue fighting, let this battle conclude!"

Lin Bai spoke calmly.

Xu Guang nodded slightly. He retrieved some Elixir Pills from his Storage Bag, which halted the further spread of his internal injuries.

At this crucial moment, Xu Guang gazed up at Ning Zheng and commanded, "Ning Zheng, make the announcement!"

Ning Zheng descended from Cloud Top, his eyes wide with shock as he looked between the Sword Demon and Xu Guang. After a prolonged moment of disbelief, he addressed the tens of thousands of cultivators gathered in the Fighting Arena, proclaiming loudly, "Senior Xu Guang is gravely injured and can no longer fight. The victor of this round... is the Sword Demon!"

"Victory to the Sword Demon!"

"Victory to the Sword Demon!"

The moment Ning Zheng's voice echoed, a wave of stunned silence washed over the assembled cultivators.

Many warriors were utterly bewildered, their gazes fixed upon the arena.

Lin Bai surveyed the crowd, a subtle smile gracing his lips as he observed their astonished expressions. He could easily surmise that a significant number of them had placed their bets on Senior Xu Guang!

"Lost... lost? Senior Xu Guang actually lost?"

"By the heavens!"

"Senior Xu Guang has been defeated?"

From the Spectator Seats, countless warriors were completely dumbfounded. Their minds went blank, utterly incapable of processing this unexpected turn of events!

Within the Elegant Pavilion.

The Young Lord of Houtu City erupted in a furious shout, "Damn it! Damn Sword Demon, damn Xu Guang, how could you possibly lose? Xu Guang, how could you lose!"

"I wagered tens of billions of merits on you, how dare you utter surrender and simply give up!"

"You're still alive, how dare you admit defeat!"

The Young Lord of Houtu City bellowed in rage.

He was among those who had placed substantial bets on Xu Guang.

Meanwhile, the Undefeated General Edward Yang of Houtu City, observing the Sword Demon and Xu Guang, exclaimed inwardly, "I never imagined Xu Guang's formidable power would be completely overwhelmed by the Sword Demon!"

At this juncture, inside the Elegant Pavilion, numerous cultivators began to voice their angry displeasure.

Tang Family Pavilion: "Heavens above, Xu Guang lost, our merits!"

Tang Yuezhi watched as several Elders of the Tang Family started to weep openly, while others trembled with sheer fury!

Simultaneously, Tangjing Xiu and Tangjing Yuan wore expressions as dark as iron.

The Tang Family had staked a billion merits on Xu Guang, and with his defeat, it had all vanished like smoke.

In stark contrast, Tang Yuezhi felt a flicker of satisfaction. She had wagered five million merits on Lin Bai, and with odds of one to a hundred, the reward was quite substantial!

"Formidable!" Tang Yuezhi gazed ardently at Lin Bai's retreating figure, a mixture of joy and other complex emotions swirling in her beautiful eyes...
