The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2748 - 2723: One Sword Once Stopped a Million Lions! (Five Updates)

Previously, the cultivators gathered outside the Dragon City Mountain Range had been observing the two individuals from the Tang Family within Dragon City with condescending sneers, scorn, and ridicule. However, following the appearance of the suffocating spectacle unfolding inside Dragon City, the expressions of these scornful onlookers froze. The disdain in their eyes transformed into sheer astonishment, and those who had been mocking were rendered utterly speechless. "This..." "How could this be possible!" "No, no, no, I must be dreaming; I haven't even woken up yet!" "This is utterly impossible! How can this be? Thousands of individuals attacked in unison, yet now not a single one can breach a hundred-meter perimeter, and instead, Lin Bai has single-handedly eliminated over 200 warriors!" "This..." Countless warriors watching from the Dragon City Mountain Range cried out in shock, their hearts filled with a mixture of dread and awe as they gazed upon Lin Bai. "Nine Flashes during the Flying Sky!" "Coiling Dragon Fist!" "Purple Qi Sword Skill!" "Zhanlong Sword Skill!" "Zhanlong Drawing Sword Skill!" "Zhanlong Trapping Sky Skill!" "..." "Thunder Annihilation!" "Three Thousand Thunder Destruction!" "Ten Directions Annihilation!" A barrage of formidable martial techniques and divine abilities erupted from Lin Bai's grasp. With one strike, Lin Bai felled a warrior using his sword, simultaneously unleashing a fist infused with Three-Colored Divine Thunder upon another, and then, his figure blurred, reappearing in an instant before still other warriors. Such terrifying speed, such astonishing might, such decisive execution—this scene would be permanently seared into the memories of every warrior in Black Water City. Even many years in the future, when the warriors of Black Water City recounted the legendary Dragon City Decisive Battle, they would still speak of Lin Bai with a profound sense of dread! "Ahhhhh..." "Help!" One warrior after another charged forward, their faces etched with terror, their eyes fixated in disbelief upon Lin Bai. The sheer ferocity of Lin Bai's power at this moment was overwhelming, causing the advancing warriors to falter and retreat. Noticing that no warrior dared to approach within a hundred meters, Lin Bai's figure flickered once more, and he reappeared atop the Stone Stele. Yet, at this moment, Lin Bai stood upon the Stone Stele with a malevolent grin gracing his lips. His white robes were now a canvas stained crimson with blood, but it was not his own blood; it was the life essence of the warriors he had vanquished. Even the Demonic Sword gripped in his hand was dripping, each drop of blood sliding slowly from its razor-sharp tip! Lin Bai stood poised on the Stone Stele, his Sharp Sword held aloft, a cold smile playing on his lips, exuding the aura of a God Slayer! Surrounding the Stone Stele, within a radius of a hundred meters, corpses lay piled like mountains, and rivers of blood flowed abundantly! Tang Yuezhi, who was leaning against the Stone Stele to recover, was utterly dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before her! Fearfully, Tang Yuezhi stammered, "What did I just witness? Lin Bai... he... single-handedly repelled the assault of thousands of warriors..." "This... how is this even remotely possible!" It wasn't only the other onlookers who found the spectacle unbelievable; even Tang Yuezhi herself was struggling to comprehend it! At this point, the leaders of the Four Great Families who were besieging the Tang Family also turned their gaze towards Lin Bai, their expressions filled with shock. Sun Xiaodie stated coldly, "How can this individual possess such immense power?" Zheng Shanhe mused, "Could it be that this person has achieved the cultivation level of the Wending Realm?" Wu Xingyue countered, "He is merely at the Death Reversal Realm, and only at the Seventh Layer of the Death Reversal Realm at that, yet his power is already infinitesimally close to that of the Wending Realm!" Li Xiao stared at Lin Bai in stunned silence, utterly incapable of uttering a single word! Meanwhile, Mao Xin, standing beside Li Xiao, narrowed his eyes and uttered in a low tone, "So that's how it is..." Li Xiao, looking towards Mao Xin with a perplexed expression, inquired, "Senior Mao Xin, have you discerned something?" Mao Xin explained in a hushed voice, "He designates the Flying Swords as the boundary, establishing a hundred-meter Forbidden Area; I initially dismissed his words as mere hyperbole, but now it seems this individual is far from ordinary!" "A hundred meters serves as his boundary, he has demarcated a hundred-meter Forbidden Area with the Stone Stele at its heart!" "Within this hundred-meter Forbidden Area, his Flying Swords demonstrate unparalleled agility, rendering it impossible for anyone to withstand them within that zone!" "Furthermore, his movement technique is of an exceptionally high caliber, enabling him to manifest instantaneously at any location within this hundred-meter radius!" "And his swordsmanship and fist techniques also exhibit immense power; even those who have reached the Great Perfection of the Death Reversal Realm find it arduous to endure his strikes, and even if they manage to withstand the blow, they will invariably sustain severe injuries, rendering them incapable of combat!" "..." Li Xiao listened intently to Mao Xin's detailed explanation, his understanding a mixture of partial comprehension and lingering bewilderment.

Mao Xin explained, "In essence, this is a type of Magic Circle. Anyone who enters within a hundred meters will be instantly annihilated by him!"

"Simply put, it's a domain!"

"Within a hundred meters, to step inside is to invite doom!"

The expression on Mao Xin's face was one of utter astonishment as he gazed at Lin Bai, his heart now filled with extreme caution regarding Lin Bai's cultivation!

Li Xiao drew in a deep breath, acutely sensing the formidable challenge that Lin Bai presented!

Mao Xin elaborated, "Unfathomable movement speed, terrifying swordcraft and fist techniques, an impenetrable Divine Thunder defense, Flying Swords establishing the perimeter, a hundred meters designated as a prohibition... within this hundred-meter zone, he stands unconquerable!"

Li Xiao inquired, "Senior Mao Xin, what course of action should we pursue?"

Mao Xin, after pondering, shook his head and stated, "There exist only two viable paths to surmount this predicament!"

Li Xiao pressed further, "Kindly elaborate, Senior!"

Mao Xin narrowed his eyes and proposed, "The initial strategy involves persistently engaging him in combat, thereby depleting his Spiritual Power until he is utterly exhausted and incapable of resistance, at which point we can subdue him!"

"However, achieving his complete exhaustion would likely necessitate the sacrifice of countless warriors; at present, judging by his condition... the first hundred individuals to charge forward would undoubtedly be annihilated by him!"

Li Xiao responded, "In such a scenario, even if our Li Family were to emerge victorious, we would be so severely weakened that guarding the Commander Flag, should we obtain it, would be beyond our capacity due to insufficient manpower."

"This approach is untenable. Senior Mao Xin, what is your second proposed method?"

Mao Xin countered, "The second strategy is to overwhelm him with sheer power! Presently, if a strong individual from the Wending Realm were available to engage and restrain him directly, while we launched a concerted assault, this adversary would surely meet his demise!"

Li Xiao’s shoulders slumped in dejection as he replied, "At this juncture of the Dragon City Battle, all participants are at the Great Perfection stage of the Death Reversal Realm. As per the established regulations, aside from the indigenous Demon Beasts, any warriors representing the Eight Great Clans are prohibited from possessing cultivation exceeding the Death Reversal Realm!"

"This method is also unfeasible!"

Mao Xin sighed, his head shaking, "Then, there appears to be no alternative; within the hundred-meter Forbidden Area, he is the undisputed sovereign. Unless he is somehow compelled to deplete his own strength, no one can possibly defeat him within this confined perimeter!"

Li Xiao drew another deep breath and declared, "Under these circumstances, the Li Family's aspiration to secure the Commander Flag today appears exceedingly improbable."

Mao Xin uttered in a hushed tone, "The critical factor is... our available time is rapidly dwindling; dawn is merely two hours away. If we fail to neutralize Lin Bai swiftly and cannot breach his hundred-meter Forbidden Area, he will effectively stall us until the moment of dawn!"

"At that decisive hour, the esteemed position of City Lord will inevitably fall into the possession of the Tang Family!"

Mao Xin emphasized this point with a low, resonant voice.

The countenances of Li Xiao, Sun Xiaodie, Wu Xingyue, and Zheng Shanhe turned a sickly green, their intense gazes fixed upon Lin Bai, yet they remained hesitant to provoke his formidable and surging might...
