The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2731 - 2706: Lin Ye’s Fury

"I advise you not to court death!"

Lin Bai spoke to Qian Youcai with a smile, yet Qian Youcai perceived the smile as laced with chilling menace.

A shiver instantly coursed through Qian Youcai upon witnessing that smirk.

Qian Youcai attempted to maintain composure, letting out a laugh: "Ha ha ha, courting death? Do you truly dare to end my life? I am a direct descendant of the Qian family, and the current patriarch of the Qian family is my cousin!"

"Should you dare to harm even a single strand of my hair, I assure you the Qian family will not let you off the hook!"

"Now, allow the beast to depart with me, or else the Qian family’s wrath will be more than you can possibly endure!"

Qian Youcai addressed Lin Bai with a seemingly calm demeanor.

"My own anger is also something the Qian family cannot withstand!" Lin Bai replied coldly. "I have no more time for idle chatter. I shall give you three breaths’ time to clear the way!"

"Fail to do so, and I will kill you!"

Lin Bai’s gaze pierced Qian Youcai with icy intensity, as if his eyes could consume a person whole.

"One!" Lin Bai uttered the count softly.

Qian Youcai’s expression grew grave, and he stated coldly: "I refuse to believe you would dare kill me right at the Tang family’s doorstep. I am a direct successor of the Qian family, one of the Eight Great Clans residing in Black Water City!"

Lin Bai continued his count: "Two!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai’s hand subtly moved towards his storage bag.

The storage bag glinted, releasing a sliver of a sharp, ruthless sword, poised for action.

Qian Youcai’s complexion paled, sweat beading on his brow. He turned to Tangjing Yuan, asking: "Tangjing Yuan, if anything were to befall me here at your Tang family's entrance, can your Tang family truly bear that responsibility?"

Tangjing Yuan found himself in an awkward predicament, clearly taken aback!

"Three!"

Lin Bai decisively called out the final count.

As the word left his lips, a swift blade shot from Lin Bai’s storage bag, landing in his grasp, unleashing a formidable sword aura and an overwhelming sword intent simultaneously.

A potent sense of fatal danger washed over Qian Youcai. He swiftly retrieved a treasure from his own storage bag, shouting indignantly: "Very well, then I shall witness firsthand how a mere martial artist of the Seventh Layer of the Death Reversal Realm can best me, a cultivator at the Ninth Level of the same realm!"

"Bring it on!"

Qian Youcai clenched his teeth, resolute on unleashing his full power!

At that precise moment, Lin Ye, who had remained silently behind Lin Bai, suddenly surged forward.

With a force akin to a thunderbolt, he struck Qian Youcai squarely in the chest.

Darkness flashed before Qian Youcai’s eyes. Glancing up, he saw Lin Ye’s massive fist, fist-sized as a pot, shattering all his defenses and impacting his chest directly!

Bang!

Qian Youcai was sent hurtling backward, a distance of a hundred meters, before crashing to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face contorting into a puce, a truly ghastly sight.

Lying prone, he yelled furiously at Lin Ye: "You beast, you accursed beast, how dare you strike me!"

Lin Ye’s face was a mask of pure rage, his entire being radiating murderous intent. After delivering the blow, he advanced towards Qian Youcai!

Lin Bai, observing Lin Ye’s swift action and the palpable killing intent, was momentarily taken aback.

It became clear that Lin Ye harbored a deep-seated resentment towards Qian Youcai for a considerable time.

Lin Bai's appearance had seemingly liberated Lin Ye from the Qian family's constraints, finally allowing him to unleash his true self!

"What do you intend to do!"

"Do not approach me!"

"Stop!"

Qian Youcai, still sprawled on the ground, watched Lin Ye advance steadily, his expression one of utter terror. His body writhed, desperately trying to escape Lin Ye’s grasp.

As Lin Ye drew nearer, he seized one of Qian Youcai’s legs, hoisting him up and violently slamming him against the ground.

Boom boom boom—

Lin Ye repeatedly used Qian Youcai’s leg to smash him into the earth, accompanied by Qian Youcai’s piercing shrieks of agony.

Tangjing Yuan approached Lin Bai at this juncture, speaking in a low tone: "Lin Bai, teaching him a lesson is sufficient. Do refrain from taking his life. If Qian Youcai were to perish at the Tang family’s entrance, I fear the Qian family would not let the matter rest!"

Lin Bai responded: "Worry not!"

Lin Bai watched the enraged Lin Ye, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Suddenly, a booming roar echoed from the heavens above the Tang family entrance: "Hmph, in broad daylight, you dare to lay hands upon a martial artist of my Qian family?"

"Is your Tang family seeking its own demise?"

Accompanying this shout was a terrifying wave of power that descended, directly sending Lin Ye flying backward to land at Lin Bai’s feet.

Lin Bai helped Lin Ye to his feet and looked up to see a middle-aged man descending from the clouds. Though not overtly angry, his presence exuded overwhelming authority. Clad in a green robe with his hair streaming, his power was immense!

"This is not good, the head of the Qian family has arrived!" Tangjing Yuan’s expression shifted drastically as he murmured.

This formidable individual was none other than Qianduo Jin of the Qian family!

Qianduo Jin halted before Qian Youcai, with a contingent of Qian family martial artists soon arriving on the bustling street.

Bruised and battered, Qian Youcai pushed himself up from the ground, his gaze fixed on Qianduo Jin. He cried out, "Cousin, cousin, save me! The Tang family is indulging their Guest Official and intends to kill me!"

"Cousin!"

"Cousin, the Tang family has gone too far, completely disregarding our Qian family. If this continues, I fear our Qian family will have no place in Black Water City!"

"Cousin, you must stand up for me!"

Qian Youcai implored, looking pleadingly at Qianduo Jin.

Tangjing Yuan then stepped forward, offering a clasped-fist salute with a smile. "Tangjing Yuan greets the Qian Family Master!"

Qianduo Jin's expression was cold. He spoke with icy resolve, "I have not come here today to exchange pleasantries. Hand over the beast, and we shall depart immediately!"

"This..." Tangjing Yuan appeared somewhat hesitant.

Lin Bai interjected, his voice cutting through the tension. "What if I refuse to hand it over?"

Qianduo Jin fixated on Lin Bai, his tone chilling. "You, a mere martial artist at the Seventh Layer of the Death Reversal Realm, are you truly so fearless of death, insisting on provoking the Qian family?"

Lin Bai let out a chuckle. "I have encountered far too many adversaries on my journey. Compared to them, your Qian family is but a trifling minnow!"

"Do not presume too much of yourself; in truth, you are utterly insignificant!"

Lin Bai's words were laced with contempt as he addressed Qianduo Jin.

"Brat, what did you just say!" Qianduo Jin roared in fury.

A potent aura, emanating from the Wending Realm, immediately bore down upon Lin Bai.

Lin Bai's eyes flickered, his expression hardening.

At this precise moment, a voice carried from a distance. "Tai Yi from the Fighting Arena greets the Qian Family Master and the Second Master of the Tang Family!"

Upon hearing this announcement, both Tangjing Yuan and Qianduo Jin turned their heads to look.

Just as they spotted Tai Yi approaching.

"Tai Yi?" Qianduo Jin's face registered a peculiar expression.

Tangjing Yuan was also perplexed as to why Tai Yi would visit the Tang family.

Tai Yi advanced, bypassing both Qianduo Jin and Tangjing Yuan. He addressed Lin Bai with a smile, "Lin Bai, come with me. Someone wishes to meet you!"

Lin Bai chuckled. "That is most opportune. I was indeed planning to seek you out!"

Lin Bai had departed from the Tang family earlier that day with the intention of finding Tai Yi!

However, before he could even step outside the Tang residence, he had encountered Qian Youcai!

"Then, please." Tai Yi replied with a smile.

Qianduo Jin spoke with coldness. "Manager Tai Yi, I have some personal matters to resolve with Lin Bai. Might I request you allow him to leave after I have concluded them?"

"Could you perhaps wait a little longer?"

Tai Yi let out a light chuckle. "I can wait for a short while, but the individual I am escorting is not one who particularly enjoys waiting!"

Qianduo Jin laughed heartily. "Ha ha ha, now I find myself curious. Who might this person be? Is it possible there is someone in Black Water City held in higher regard than myself?"

Tai Yi chuckled lightly. "The City Lord, Zhao Wuji!"

Hearing this name, Qianduo Jin's expression instantly contorted with fear.

Tai Yi added with a smile, "Qianduo Jin, might I inquire if you believe the City Lord's status surpasses your own?"

Qianduo Jin's face turned a sickly green. He clenched his teeth, consumed by rage but utterly unable to direct it anywhere!
