The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2751 - 2726: The Arrival of the Strong One!

"Lin Bai, spare his life!" Tang Yuezhi cried out immediately as she witnessed Lin Bai poised to strike down Li Xiao.

Lin Bai's sword tip halted mere inches from Li Xiao's throat. Hearing Tang Yuezhi's plea, Lin Bai paused for a moment. Then, with a powerful kick to Li Xiao's chest, he inflicted severe injury, sending him hurtling back for hundreds of meters!

Li Xiao, flung through the air, landed with a thud on the ground and looked towards Tang Yuezhi.

Tang Yuezhi spoke with composure, "The Li Family and the Tang Family have maintained a cordial relationship for generations. Had it not been for the Dragon City Decisive Battle, our two families would not have found themselves in this predicament!"

"Li Xiao, for Uncle Li's sake, gather the Li Family's martial artists and depart!"

Tang Yuezhi declared sternly.

Li Xiao, rising weakly from the ground, faced Tang Yuezhi, cupped his fists, and expressed his gratitude, "Thank you!"

"Li Family martial artists, fall back!"

Li Xiao immediately commanded the Li Family martial artists to withdraw from the unfolding conflict.

Subsequently, Li Xiao, accompanied by Mao Xin and a contingent of Li Family martial artists, made their way to the outskirts of Dragon City.

At this juncture, Lin Bai had already vanquished nearly all the martial artists from the other Three Great Families, notably their leaders, who had all met their demise at Lin Bai's hands.

The martial artists belonging to the Sun, Wu, and Zheng Families now cast fearful glances at Lin Bai, their feet instinctively retreating.

Lin Bai's prowess had utterly terrified them!

Lin Bai's figure blurred, reappearing instantly atop the Stone Stele. He then proclaimed with a cold demeanor, "Now that the primary forces of your esteemed families have all fallen by my hand... if you wish to embrace death, you are welcome to try!"

"If you desire to live, then be gone!"

Lin Bai's gaze swept across the assembled crowd.

The martial artists of the Sun, Zheng, and Wu Families, originally numbering close to nine hundred, had sustained losses of three to four hundred individuals amidst the chaotic battle!

Lin Bai's fearsome reputation loomed large, instilling profound dread in the hearts of the martial artists from these three prominent families.

Especially following the deaths of Sun Xiaodie, Zheng Shanhe, and Wu Xingyue, the martial artists of these three great families were like a leaderless dragon, with no one daring to provoke Lin Bai!

One by one, the martial artists from the three great families began to retreat.

They gradually shifted away from Lin Bai's established hundred-meter Forbidden Area.

Tang Yuezhi, seated beneath the Stone Stele to tend to her injuries, observed the surrounding martial artists slowly withdrawing. A flicker of relief crossed her face.

Although the martial artists of these three great families had temporarily relinquished their aggressive intent, Lin Bai had, against all odds, repelled this formidable wave of assault!

Just as the martial artists from the three great families retreated, momentarily denying Lin Bai and Tang Yuezhi the chance to savor their victory.

A resonant, heroic voice echoed through the air!

"Excellent! Excellent! Truly commendable!"

"To seize the enemy general's head amidst ten thousand soldiers, a feat unparalleled through the ages!"

Accompanying this heroic declaration, a burly middle-aged man materialized outside Lin Bai's hundred-meter Forbidden Zone.

Lin Bai, standing atop the Stone Stele, turned his gaze towards the imposing man.

This burly man, standing over eight feet tall, possessed brows like sharp swords, an imposing killing aura that pierced the heavens, and his hands were clasped behind his back. As he fixed a cold stare upon Lin Bai, an undeniable fighting spirit blazed within his eyes!

Following the burly man's appearance, a retinue of martial artists quickly emerged in his wake.

Lin Bai clearly did not recognize this formidable figure.

However, Tang Yuezhi exclaimed in surprise, "Lounan Dynasty, Imperial Guard Commander, Cai Chi!"

"From the Zhou Family!"

Tang Yuezhi added, her voice tinged with astonishment.

From within the burly man's entourage, a young man stepped forward. Gazing at the strewn corpses, he offered a faint smile and remarked, "I truly didn't anticipate this. Merely two individuals from the Tang Family managing to hold back the four other great families!"

"These Four Great Families are demonstrably weakening."

"It appears that once my Zhou Family assumes the mantle of City Lord of Black Water City, there will no longer be a necessity for such a multitude of families to persist within its borders."

After this young man stepped forth, he directed a cold, smiling gaze towards Lin Bai and Tang Yuezhi.

"Tang Yuezhi, it has been some time!" the young man stated with a chilling smirk.

Tang Yuezhi's countenance contorted with disgust as she retorted icily, "Zhoutian Hao!"

This young man, Zhoutian Hao, was recognized as one of the Zhou Family's elite Tianjiao, and furthermore, he was a principal participant in the Dragon City Battle.

As for the burly figure, Cai Chi, his position as the Imperial Guard Commander of the Lounan Dynasty afforded him sufficient authority to be summoned by a princess within the Imperial Palace – an individual who happened to be the sister of the current Zhou Family Patriarch!

Zhoutian Hao directed a frigid glare at the retreating cultivators surrounding him. "It would seem the martial artists from the other Four Great Families have been thoroughly intimidated. Now is the time for the truly powerful individuals to make their appearance!"

"Tang Yuezhi, now that I have arrived, do you still intend to stubbornly defend the Commander Flag?"

"Hurry and surrender it!"

A condescending smirk played on Zhoutian Hao's lips as he spoke with cold emphasis.

Tang Yuezhi's expression tightened. It was evident that the Zhou Family's might far surpassed that of the other Four Great Families.

She had not yet offered a response to Zhoutian Hao's demand.

Then, a light, mocking laugh echoed from another direction. "Even if it were to be handed over, the Commander Flag would not go to your Zhou Family. However, Zhoutian Hao, you speak the truth; truly strong individuals are needed now!"

Rumble—

This voice was accompanied by the thunderous sound of approaching footsteps.

Lin Bai glanced back, observing the arrival of yet another family.

Among this new contingent, Lin Bai recognized a few faces.

Leading this group of martial artists were two men and one woman whom Lin Bai knew.

These three were, of course, the Tianjiao of the Zhao Family. Lin Bai had encountered them previously when Zhaoyun Tian extended an invitation to the Zhou Family!

These three figures were none other than... Zhaosi Yun, Zhaosi Yuan, and Zhao Zheng.

Standing beside these three was another young man.

Clad in azure robes, this young man stood with impeccable posture. His sword-like eyebrows and bright, piercing eyes were particularly striking, and the corners of his mouth curved into a slight, self-assured smile.

This young man captured Lin Bai's attention more intensely than Zhaosi Yun, Zhaosi Yuan, and Zhao Zheng combined.

The reason for this heightened focus was the terrifying Sword Aura Lin Bai sensed radiating from him!

Even though the young man held no blade in his hands, his palms bare, Lin Bai could still perceive a tempestuous Sword Intention swirling within him, more potent than any turbulent river or vast ocean...

"He is a genuine powerhouse!"

Lin Bai fixed his gaze on this young man, contemplating this realization.

The young man, upon noticing Lin Bai, did not let his smile falter. His gaze met Lin Bai's, holding a subtle hint of disdain.

The Zhao Family had made their entrance!

"Oh ho, it seems our Qian Family has arrived precisely on time!" A sneering voice emanated from another direction as a contingent of martial artists emerged from the shadows into the expanse of Dragon City.

This group clearly represented the Qian Family, spearheaded by Qian Ruyu and Jiang Yang.

Observing the arrival of the Qian Family's forces, a flicker of intense hatred and raw killing intent flared in Tang Yuezhi's eyes!

The harrowing memories of the Qian Family's assault on the Tang Family martial artists within Dragon City Mountain remained vividly etched in her mind.

Tang Yuezhi would never forget the fallen Tang Family cultivators who met their end at the hands of the Qian Family!

Her animosity towards the Qian Family had now reached an unbearable zenith within her heart!
