The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2787 - 2762: Strange!
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
Even though Lin Bai felt somewhat strange inwardly, seeing so many Warriors swarm into Sky Sword City, Lin Bai also carried a few traces of disturbance, slowly stepping into Sky Sword City.
Upon entering Sky Sword City, rows of houses were neatly arranged, yet there were no residents in the city.
The Warriors who entered the city now began observing the surroundings all over the city.
Lin Bai and Lin Ye walked aimlessly along the streets within the city, looking at the houses built from yellow mud on both sides, their expressions unchanged.
And at this moment.
In the city, a loud rumbling sound occurred.
Lin Bai suddenly turned back to look, seeing the city gate he had just entered close tightly.
The closing of the city gate made Lin Bai frown slightly.
Suddenly, a shadow of a person appeared in the sky above the city, it was an Old Man, smiling as he said, "Welcome everyone to Sky Sword City, from now on, the Martial Arts Competition officially begins!"
"Currently, there are quite a few Warriors inside the city, now I have temporarily closed the gates of Sky Sword City, this Martial Arts Competition belonging to you begins now!"
"Listen clearly to the rules of the competition... the last Warrior alive in this city may join the Sword God Family!"
"The competition time is half a day. If after half a day, there are still many Warriors surviving in the city, you will lose qualification. Then I will allow other Warriors to enter the city to spar with you until the emergence of the last one!"
"Now, you may begin!"
After speaking, the Old Man’s figure flickered and disappeared from the sky above the city.
"Are we supposed to slaughter each other?" Lin Bai frowned.
Immediately, Lin Bai looked around the streets, also seeing other Warriors arriving in groups, whose expressions immediately changed upon hearing the Old Man’s words.
Suddenly, a sharp Sword Aura flashed across the throat of a Warrior.
"Brother Li, you actually attacked me..." the Warrior whose throat was cut, exclaimed in terror.
The Warrior named Brother Li coldly laughed and said, "Humph, Brother Zhou, don’t blame me. We were only companions crossing Yunmeng Marsh. Now that we’ve reached Sky Sword City, it’s time for us to part ways!"
"Killing you, I will go to kill others!"
"As long as I demonstrate enough strength, I believe the Sword God Family will see my potential!"
After this Warrior killed his Companion with one sword strike, his figure flickered and he darted off towards other places.
Lin Bai stood at a distance, watching this scene unfold, his expression normal.
In the face of great Benefits, such temporary friendships are naturally unreliable.
Simultaneously, for a moment, Lin Bai heard fierce sounds of slaughter echo from every corner of the city, with the clashing of Weapons ringing out, and harrowing screams reverberating through the city.
"Humph!" A cold snort sounded behind Lin Bai.
Lin Bai glanced to the side, seeing a Sword Cultivator wielding a Sharp Sword charging towards him.
But before he reached Lin Bai’s back, Lin Ye punched out directly, shattering the Sword Cultivator’s Sharp Sword, simultaneously punching him in the chest, causing him to spit blood and fly backward.
This person, realizing he was no match for Lin Bai and Lin Ye, immediately turned and ran, disappearing from the street.
"The slaughter has already begun."
"But why do I still feel an ominous premonition within?"
Lin Bai shook his head as he spoke.
Immediately, Lin Bai and Lin Ye jumped onto a rooftop, standing atop the highest roof in the city, Lin Bai looked throughout the entire city, seeing fierce clashes both in East City and South City.
Warriors one after another turned against each other, pointing Sharp Swords at their friends and Companions, all to become the last surviving Warrior and a disciple of the Sword God Family.
Among the Warriors who entered Sky Sword City earlier, there were as many as three thousand.
And now, in just a short moment, nearly two thousand died tragically.
Most of these two thousand died were ambushed by their closest friends.
The intense clashes shattered many of the city’s houses, collapsing them into ruins.
Lin Bai looked up and saw Sky Sword City engulfed in a rising haze, countless Warriors desperately slaughtering each other for a Sword God Family disciple spot.
"Is this the way the Sword God Family selects their disciples?"
"Setting the Martial Arts Competition in Yunmeng Marsh makes sense, the Sword God Family wants to use the natural barrier of Yunmeng Marsh to prevent some riff-raff!"
"But already having the natural barrier of Yunmeng Marsh, now in Sky Sword City, the Sword God Family still makes us slaughter each other!"
"This falls short of the demeanor of a superpower!"
"This city seems more and more abnormal the more I look at it."
Lin Bai looked at Sky Sword City, his gaze coldly speaking.
"Let’s go, Lin Ye, we’re leaving here." Lin Bai turned around, not intending to stay in this city, turning towards the gate they came in through.
Approaching the city gate, Lin Bai raised his hand, the Demonic Sword fell into his palm, as he walked towards the gate, he struck powerful Sword Aura down, hitting the City Wall.
Lin Bai intended to directly shatter this city wall.
However, when Lin Bai struck at the city gate, the Sword Qi couldn’t shatter the gate, instead it seemed to pass through the gate.
"Hmm?" Lin Bai approached curiously, striking again, the Sword Qi vanished into the city wall instantly.
"Is this a formation? Or an illusion?" Lin Bai’s Eyes flashed, sensing something amiss about this city.
Immediately, Lin Bai’s figure flickered, a piercing black light spread from within him, gathering on the Demonic Sword, simultaneously Lin Bai shouted, "Martial Soul Secret Skill! Breaking Prohibition!"
The Breaking Prohibition sword slashed forth, black Sword Aura ripping through the Splitting Vastness.
This sword struck the city gate, instantly shattering it open.
Lin Bai quickly looked up, seeing the city gate was formed by condensed smoke.
And within that smoke, Lin Bai seemed to sense a trace of Demonic Qi...
However, after Lin Bai’s Breaking Prohibition sword pierced the city gate, just in an instant, the city gate restored completely.
Rumble—
At this moment, from beneath Lin Bai’s feet, sharp spikes burst out, crazily stabbing towards Lin Bai.
Lin Bai pulled Lin Ye, immediately soaring into the air, looking at the spikes suddenly protruding from the ground, his expression turning cold.
Lin Bai coldly said, "Isn’t the Sword God Family letting us compete among ourselves? Why? Are the Sword God Family’s Warriors planning to Take Action against us?"
Lin Bai noticed there were no Warriors within a hundred meters, these spikes couldn’t be wielded by any Warrior, only something within this city could wield them.
When Lin Bai and Lin Ye hovered in midair, suddenly spikes also flew from the Void, forcing Lin Bai and Lin Ye away from the city gate back into the city.
The spikes attacked from all directions, forcing Lin Bai and Lin Ye to leave the gate, returning to the city.
"Since you don’t want me to leave, I’ll just have to see exactly what you are!" Lin Bai’s Eyes flashed, staring viciously at this city.
