The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2741 - 2716: Encounter! Qian Family Warriors!

As the white-haired ape charged, Lin Bai's demeanor turned frigid. "Three Thousand Thunder Destruction!" With the ape closing in, countless threads of three-colored divine thunder shot forth from Lin Bai, impacting the beast's form. The white-haired ape let out a furious roar; aware of the destructive power of Lin Bai's thunderbolts, it didn't attempt to block but instead lunged forward viciously, annihilating the incoming bolts! Having shattered the thunder, the white-haired ape materialized before Lin Bai, bellowing as a fist hurtled towards him! "Sword’s Arrival!" In that crucial moment, Lin Bai's storage bag split open, unleashing a chilling, sharp sword. Gripping the weapon, Lin Bai brought it down with great force. "Zhanlong Drawing Sword Skill!" A brilliant, blinding sword aura blazed across the sky, once more repelling the aggressive white-haired ape. *Splurt—* Blood erupted. This time, the white-haired ape was sent flying, a crimson sword gash marring its body, profusely bleeding and staining its formerly white mane a deep red! "Damn you! Damn you..." Witnessing the injuries it sustained, the white-haired ape's rage intensified, unleashing a direct punch at Lin Bai. Lin Bai met the assault with his sword, engaging the white-haired ape in a furious exchange. Man and beast clashed fiercely within the Dragon City Mountain Range, each blow met with another. The very ground where the intense battle raged was left desolate, livelihoods ruined. In mere moments, the mountains and forests for thousands of meters around were flattened by their conflict! After what felt like thousands of exchanges, Lin Bai had struck the white-haired ape over ten times, inflicting more than a dozen grievous sword wounds. Yet, shielded by the three-colored divine thunder, Lin Bai emerged relatively unscathed. The white-haired ape retreated, a flicker of astonishment in its bloodshot eyes. It gritted its teeth, growling, "This brat is incredibly vexing. How can he feel this powerful, being stuck at just the Seventh Layer of the Death Reversal Realm?" "Forget it. The Dragon City Battle has only just commenced. There's no point in continuing to engage him here; I should seek out easier prey among the other cultivators!" Despite fighting for countless rounds, neither the white-haired ape nor Lin Bai had secured victory. Now, the white-haired ape's resolve began to waver. Without another word, the white-haired ape abandoned a fight to the death with Lin Bai. Its form flickered into a streak of white light, vanishing into the dense woods ahead of Lin Bai. "It fled?" Lin Bai offered a slight smile, sheathing his demonic sword as he remarked, "If it wishes to escape, with its Wending Realm strength, I naturally cannot pursue." "However, after thousands of clashes, while I landed over ten blows, they were merely superficial. I failed to inflict any true damage to its core!" "It seems there's still a considerable chasm between my might and the Wending Realm!" "But for now... though I cannot slay a Wending Realm cultivator, it's not simple for them to kill me either!" Following the brutal encounter with the white-haired ape, Lin Bai gained a preliminary grasp of his current power. He couldn't kill those in the Wending Realm. But those in the Wending Realm couldn't easily kill him either. Sheathing his demonic sword, Lin Bai surveyed the devastated landscape. "This fierce battle will likely draw attention. It's best to depart swiftly." Lin Bai shook his head, sheathed his demonic sword, and his form blurred as he took flight. He had agreed to rendezvous with the Tang Family martial artists outside Dragon City. ... Meanwhile, concurrently with Lin Bai's intense struggle against the white-haired ape. Tang Yuezhi, leading the warriors of the Tang Family, pressed onward toward Dragon City. They had only traveled a short distance before encountering other cultivators! *Swish, swish, swish—* Tang Yuezhi and all the Tang Family warriors moved swiftly through the thick woodland. But suddenly, Tang Yuezhi halted, her expression grave as she gazed forward. Tang Yang inquired, "Miss, what troubles you?" Tang Yuezhi stated coolly, "There are people ahead!" Having narrowly escaped the white-haired ape incident, Tang Yuezhi remained exceptionally cautious and vigilant on their journey to Dragon City. At this precise moment, Tang Yuezhi sensed the presence of cultivators directly in their path... Upon hearing Tang Yuezhi's words, Tang Yang abruptly looked up. The other Tang Family warriors also ceased their movement, fixing their gazes ahead. *Rustling—* From the dense forest in front, the sound of leaves crunching underfoot could be heard. "Hmph, finally found you. So it's the Tang Family cultivators. Perfect timing; your strength among the Eight Great Clans is considered the weakest. You shall be the first to be eliminated!" Accompanying the rustling sounds came a cold, derisive voice. Tang Yuezhi and Tang Yang raised their heads, witnessing cultivators leap from the dense foliage ahead, swiftly surrounding the Tang Family warriors.

In the meantime, Qian Ruyu and Jiang Yang made their appearance from the concealing shadows, their gazes fixed coldly upon Tang Yuezhi.

"Qian Ruyu!" A solemnity immediately fell upon the faces of Tang Yuezhi and Tang Yang.

"Houtu City’s Undefeated General, Jiang Yang!" Tang Yang’s eyes widened in shock as he recognized the old man accompanying Qian Ruyu.

This Jiang Yang, known to rival Xu Guang, was a martial artist at the Death Reversal Realm, a being akin to a divine spirit.

"It has been quite some time, Miss Tang!" Qian Ruyu greeted with a smile.

Tang Yuezhi’s expression grew grim.surveying their surroundings and noticing the Qian family's warriors had them surrounded, she declared icily, "Qian Ruyu, do you intend to fight us to the death right here?"

"Why don't we wait until we reach Dragon City before settling this with a duel to the death?"

This suggestion was merely a tactic; Tang Yuezhi clearly wished to avoid a direct confrontation with the Qian family's forces at this location.

The Tang family, originally possessing fewer warriors and being considered the weakest among the Eight Great Clans, would only worsen their situation by engaging the Qian family now.

"Haha, Miss Tang speaks wisely. We came for you, after all. How could we simply depart?"

"Very well, enough with the pleasantries!"

"After we deal with you, our next targets will be the other families!"

"Brothers, attack!"

"Leave no one alive!"

Qian Ruyu's eyes turned frigid as he commanded the Qian family's warriors.

Responding to Qian Ruyu's order, the Qian family's warriors swiftly unsheathed their weapons and charged at the Tang family's fighters!

"Hahaha, offer up your lives!"

"Today, every warrior of the Tang family shall perish!"

"Kill!"

The Qian family warriors surged forward like a pack of wolves and tigers.

Tang Yuezhi immediately bellowed, "Break through!"

Drawing her gleaming sword in an instant, Tang Yuezhi led hundreds of her family's warriors in a concentrated push towards a single direction, aiming to carve an escape route.

With over eight hundred warriors, the Qian family forces were overwhelmingly numerous compared to the Tang family's few hundred. A direct engagement would be suicidal.

Consequently, Tang Yuezhi had no choice but to guide the Tang family's warriors in a desperate attempt to breach the Qian family's encirclement, seeking any path to freedom...

"Trying to flee? It won't be that easy!" Qian Ruyu stated coldly. "Senior Jiang Yang, the Tang family is but the weakest among them. There's no need for you to intervene; we can manage this ourselves."

Jiang Yang offered a slight smile and remained still.

However, Qian Ruyu advanced, his target set directly on Tang Yuezhi. He understood that she was the linchpin of the Tang family; her demise would undoubtedly scatter their warriors into a chaotic, leaderless mob!
