The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2738 - 2713: Life and Death Is Decided in a Single Thought! (5 Updates)

Tai Yi positioned the Tang Family martial artists to the southeast of the Dragon City Mountain Range, yet he did not depart. Instead, he held a Sound Transmission Token, waiting with patience.

During this period of anticipation, Tai Yi cast a glance at Lin Bai and offered a wry smile.

Lin Bai understood Tai Yi's thoughts and simply responded with a smile, remaining silent.

Before long, a deep voice emanated from Tai Yi's Sound Transmission Token: "Begin!"

Upon hearing this, Tai Yi smiled at the Tang Family martial artists behind him. "It has commenced. You may now enter the Dragon City Mountain Range, but exercise extreme caution. Within these mountains, life and death can vanish in an instant!"

"Proceed!"

With a nod, Tai Yi departed.

At this juncture, Tang Yuezhi turned to Lin Bai and declared, "Let's go!"

Lin Bai gave a slight nod.

Swiftly, Tang Yuezhi ascended into the air, calling out, "Tang Family martial artists, follow me!"

As he spoke, hundreds of Tang Family martial artists surged into the Dragon City Mountain Range.

Lin Bai, naturally, was among them.

With the commencement of the Dragon City Battle, immense projection screens flickered to life before the Dragon City Mountain Range.

These screens displayed the warriors from the Eight Great Clans as they penetrated the Dragon City Mountain Range.

Tangjing Xiu immediately scanned the displays, locating the Tang Family martial artists entering the Dragon City.

"Eldest Brother, Yuezhi and the others have entered," Tangjing Yuan announced with palpable excitement.

Tangjing Xiu nodded, observing Tang Yuezhi and Lin Bai as they entered the Dragon City Mountain Range accompanied by hundreds of Tang Family martial artists. Concurrently, Tangjing Xiu shifted his gaze to the other seven great clans, assessing their participating powerhouses.

Tangjing Xiu's primary focus was on the enigmatic Guest Officials that the other seven great clans had enlisted, seeking to identify their identities.

The Eight Great Clans of Black Water City were intimately familiar with one another, possessing a clear understanding of the internal strength of each clan.

However, Guest Officials presented a different matter entirely. Their origins were shrouded in mystery, their strength immense, and they possessed the potential to be the decisive factors in the Dragon City Battle. Consequently, Tangjing Xiu paid exceptional attention to the Guest Officials invited by the other seven great clans.

Tangjing Yuan followed his gaze, and after a period of observation, he whispered, "Eldest Brother, observe the Guest Official the Zhou Family has invited. Who is that individual?"

Heeding Tangjing Yuan's inquiry, Tangjing Xiu directed his attention to the Zhou Family. Upon recognizing the Guest Official, Tangjing Yuan's complexion turned a sickly green, and he uttered with chilling coldness, "That is... Cai Chi, the Imperial Guard Commander of the Lounan Dynasty!"

"The Zhou Family already maintained a close relationship with the Lounan Dynasty. The current Patriarch's sister is, in fact, one of the Emperor's consorts. It stands to reason they would invite an Imperial Guard Commander!"

Tangjing Yuan gasped in astonishment, "So it is an Imperial Guard Commander from the Lounan Dynasty. No wonder his aura is so potent; that stifling murderous intent would compel even ordinary warriors to maintain their distance!"

After a brief assessment, Tangjing Xiu swiftly shifted his focus towards the Zhao Family and the Qian Family.

Upon glimpsing the identity of the Qian Family's Guest Official, Tangjing Xiu was struck with disbelief: "The Qian Family's Guest Official is none other than the Undefeated General Edward Yang from Houtu City!"

"What!" Tangjing Yuan exclaimed, quickly turning his gaze. Spotting Edward Yang amidst the warriors acting in concert with the Qian Family's forces, he cried out, "This is dire! Is the Qian Family colluding with Houtu City? If Black Water City were to fall into the Qian Family's control, would it not effectively be surrendered to Houtu City?"

Tangjing Xiu declared with icy resolve, "The Qian Family truly deserves retribution for this!"

Immediately thereafter, Tangjing Xiu directed his eyes towards the Zhao Family.

On the projection wall, Tangjing Xiu recognized all the individuals among the Zhao Family warriors, with the sole exception of a graceful man clad in blue robes. This individual struck him as utterly unfamiliar.

This blue-robed figure moved with exquisite grace, possessing a countenance as smooth as jade and a subtle, confident smile gracing his lips. He advanced step by deliberate step at the very heart of the Zhao Family's assembled warriors.

"Who could this person be? Is he the Guest Official the Zhao Family has invited?"

Tangjing Xiu found himself unable to identify this individual and was particularly intrigued.

Tangjing Yuan pondered intently for an extended period, also failing to recognize the man.

After considerable deliberation, Tangjing Xiu concluded, "It appears that in this decisive Dragon City Battle, our Tang Family's most formidable adversaries remain the Zhao Family and the Qian Family. Now that the Zhou Family has brought forth the Lounan Dynasty's Imperial Guard Commander, we must also proceed with heightened vigilance!"

With a worried frown, Tangjing Yuan voiced his concern, "Eldest Brother, our Tang Family stands alone and without allies. Achieving a breakthrough during the Dragon City Decisive Battle may prove exceedingly difficult!"

Though Tangjing Xiu was acutely aware of the immense challenge, he found himself without alternative courses of action. His gaze shifted to the Tang Family's projection screen. Upon seeing Lin Bai accompanying Tang Yuezhi, a surge of conviction filled his eyes.

"He will not fail!"

Tangjing Xiu declared with unshakeable certainty.

Within the expansive Dragon City Mountain Range, the eight prominent clans commenced their incursion from as many distinct entry points.

The formidable Qian Family contingent, numbering between seven and eight hundred individuals, surged into the Dragon City Mountain Range with a palpable aura of power.

At the vanguard of these Qian Family warriors was a young man whose cultivation was unfathomable, emanating ceaseless, terrifying power undulations, his gaze as piercing as a hawk's.

"Brother Qian Ruyu, what is our next move? Shall we proceed directly towards Dragon City?"

A Qian Family warrior posed this question.

Edward Yang, positioned beside Qian Ruyu, offered him a smile.

Qian Ruyu, recognized as the foremost Tianjiao of the Qian Family, had achieved the Great Perfection of the Death Reversal Realm. His might was potentially even greater than Tang Yuezhi's!

Qian Ruyu responded in a low tone, "If we venture to Dragon City at this juncture, even securing the Commander Flag would necessitate its defense until dawn tomorrow. Such an extended duration would leave us vulnerable to the combined assault of the other seven great clans..."

"In light of this, it would be more prudent to neutralize a few clans before we even reach Dragon City!"

Qian Ruyu proclaimed, his expression turning ruthless.

"Guest Official Edward Yang, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Qian Ruyu inquired of Edward Yang standing nearby.

"My purpose here is solely to provide assistance to the Qian Family. The operational decisions of the Qian Family are beyond my purview. However, should the Qian Family require my intervention, I shall not hesitate!" Edward Yang replied with a genial smile.

"Very well, let us eliminate a few families first then!" Qian Ruyu decided, "We entered the Dragon City Mountain Range from the east. The clan nearest to our current position should be the one entering from the southeast!"

"Let us proceed, heading towards the southeast!"

"Annihilate all family warriors who entered the Dragon City Mountain Range from the southeast!"

Qian Ruyu promptly directed the over eight hundred Qian Family warriors, pivoting their course to a direct heading for the southeast.

As the Qian Family forces altered their trajectory, those observing from beyond the Dragon City Mountain Range took immediate notice of the maneuver.

"Look swiftly, the Qian Family warriors have changed their direction!"

Outside the Dragon City Mountain Range, a warrior exclaimed in surprise.

Tangjing Xiu's head snapped around, his countenance draining of color.

Tangjing Yuan cried out, "Eldest Brother, the Qian Family warriors are converging upon our clan."

Tangjing Xiu's expression darkened. "Damn it! The Qian Family initiated their entry into the Dragon City Mountain Range from the east, placing them in close proximity to our Tang Family. It will not be long now before the Qian Family forces intercept our Tang Family contingent within the Dragon City Mountain Range!"

With the Qian Family's change in direction, all eyes outside the Dragon City Mountain Range focused intently on the unfolding events.

They observed on the projection screens as the Qian Family and Tang Family warriors drew nearer, their paths set for an imminent head-on collision.

"They have encountered each other!"

"The Qian Family warriors have located the Tang Family forces who entered the Dragon City Mountain Range from the southeast!"

"The two great families are poised for confrontation!"

The warriors positioned outside the Dragon City Mountain Range erupted in excited exclamations.

In the Dragon City Decisive Battle, there is no room for mercy. Once the two great families clash directly, a brutal and bloody conflict is utterly unavoidable!
