The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2797 - 2772: Mysterious Character Thirteenth Street
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
Gu Yang voluntarily cut down a ten-chi sword aura and sent it to Lin Bai, just to save his own life.
But at this moment, Lin Bai suddenly stopped and turned back to ask, "Do you know where Sang Feng, Yu Yu, and Lin Chen are?"
These three people are currently the ones with the most sword aura in Sky Sword City, and ever since noon today, they seem to have suddenly disappeared from the city. Even as Lin Bai stood atop the high tower, he did not see any trace of them.
This led to the speculation that now, with the final time not far off, many warriors are fighting desperately for a chance. During the past day and night, these three frequently acted to plunder sword aura and were more or less injured, with their spiritual power severely consumed. Therefore, it is assumed they are hiding to heal and recover.
Finding traces of these three in Sky Sword City was certainly difficult for Lin Bai alone.
Upon hearing Lin Bai’s question, Gu Yang’s eyes rolled, and he smirked coldly, "I don’t know about Yu Yu and Sang Feng, but I do know a bit about Lin Chen!"
"This morning, someone saw him on Mysterious Character Thirteenth Street in East City. After entering, he disappeared. He’s probably hiding there somewhere to heal."
Lin Bai heard this and nodded with a smile, "Thank you!"
After speaking, Lin Bai turned and left with Lin Ye.
Gu Yang softly called out, "You should give it your all, Lin Chen is not like me, not that easy to deal with, although I do hope you win..."
"Because once you win, the sword aura above Lin Chen’s head will be significantly reduced, then there will be someone just like me, having to start over again!"
"Hahaha."
Gu Yang laughed wildly.
Hearing Gu Yang’s voice behind him, Lin Bai smiled slightly.
Gu Yang told Lin Bai about Lin Chen’s whereabouts for two possible reasons.
The first reason: Gu Yang hopes Lin Chen defeats Lin Bai. If Lin Chen defeats Lin Bai, it would indirectly avenge Gu Yang.
The second reason: if Lin Chen unfortunately falls to Lin Bai, Lin Bai will surely plunder much of the sword aura above Lin Chen’s head, then Lin Chen will have to start over, just like Gu Yang!
Either scenario is the outcome Gu Yang wishes to see.
Thus, Lin Bai concluded that Gu Yang wasn’t trying to deceive him.
After Gu Yang informed him of Lin Chen’s whereabouts and watched Lin Bai walk out of the alley, Gu Yang quickly glanced at the sky and said coldly, "There are four hours until sunset!"
"There’s still time, I still have a chance!"
"As long as my sword aura reaches ten chi again, I still have a chance to enter the Sword God Family!"
"I just hope not to encounter another formidable opponent like him!"
Gu Yang glanced warily in the direction Lin Bai left, then quickly disappeared into Sky Sword City, resuming his plundering of sword aura!
Lin Bai exited the alley and headed straight for East City.
In a short moment, Lin Bai arrived at a street.
The street was empty, exuding a heavy, deathly silence.
At the entrance, there was a sign reading "Mysterious Character Thirteenth Street".
Taking a look at the sign, Lin Bai, accompanied by Lin Ye, stepped onto the street, spreading his senses to search for the aura of warriors in the surrounding houses.
But as he walked, Lin Bai felt no aura of warriors present.
After walking back and forth several times, Lin Bai suddenly stopped in front of a doorway, looked up at the high-walled courtyard in front of him, and smiled slightly.
Immediately, Lin Bai went in and entered the courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, there was a stone table. Lin Bai sat down, took out the green gourd, and began drinking. Then he laughed and said, "A guest has arrived; doesn’t the owner of this place intend to come out and meet me?"
Lin Bai drank and laughed as he spoke.
Just as he finished speaking, a pale young man emerged from the shadows of the courtyard.
The man’s blood and energy were agitated, his face pale, showing signs of recent illness recovery, yet despite this, he still emanated a strong aura.
"Mysterious Character Thirteenth Street has a total of nine hundred houses; how did you know I was in this one?" The young man asked with a slight smile after coming out.
Lin Bai chuckled, "Nine hundred houses, all with doors tightly shut, except for this one, where the door is open. Seems like someone thought this place had already been visited."
"Hidden in plain sight!"
Lin Bai laughed lightly.
The young man smiled, "Even the wise can make a mistake!"
Lin Bai, holding the green gourd, smiled faintly, "I’ve come to ask you for one thing!"
The young man smiled, "What is it?"
Lin Bai smiled, "The ten-chi sword aura above your head!"
Lin Bai looked at the young man, observing the fifteen-chi sword aura above his head.
This person was undeniably Lin Chen.
"I only want ten-chi of the sword aura. Once acquired, I’ll immediately leave!" Lin Bai said with a faint smile.
Lin Chen smiled, "What if I refuse?"
Lin Bai, holding the green gourd, remained silent, except for a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
The meaning was clear: if not given willingly, force would be used.
Lin Chen looked at the smile on Lin Bai’s lips and said, "You are Lin Bai, right? The one with the nine-chi sword aura at Donglai Inn, I know of you!"
Lin Bai smiled silently.
Lin Chen continued, "Alright then, since you’ve come all this way, it’s inevitable for us to battle. It’s not impossible for me to surrender the sword aura, but first... you must defeat me!"
Speaking, Lin Chen took out a sharp sword from his storage bag, looking coldly at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai continued drinking from the green gourd indifferently, not regarding Lin Chen as a threat, and smiled faintly, "I advise you not to make futile struggles!"
Lin Chen sneered, "We both have the foundation of a nine-chi sword aura, our strengths are comparable; who are you calling futile? You coming here today doesn’t guarantee you’ll win!"
"Prepare yourself!"
Lin Chen charged forward like a furious dragon, his sword aura directed straight at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai’s eyes glinted, his expression turning icy as the demonic sword flew out from his storage bag, three-colored divine thunder spread from within him, and a surge of sword light swept towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen’s face showed fear, wary of the power of the three-colored divine thunder, and quickly retreated. Simultaneously, a strong sword intention flooded from him!
"Sword Rainbow!" Lin Chen shouted, and a sword qi struck fiercely down upon Lin Bai.
Lin Bai remained calm, holding the green gourd with his left hand and gripping the demonic sword with his right, leaping to avoid Lin Chen’s assault.
Seeing Lin Bai evade, Lin Chen’s expression grew colder, his sharp sword waving, and nine shadows of swords appeared in the void: "Nine Souls Stealing Life!"
