The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2806 - 2781: A Worm!

When Lin Bai stood up from the creek side, ready to return to his room to rest, he suddenly caught a whiff of a blood scent wafting from the forest, which made his expression turn cold.

Lin Bai’s gaze immediately turned towards the source of the blood scent.

At this moment, Lin Ye also stood up from the ground, having caught the scent as well, instantly appearing in front of Lin Bai, his eyes viciously staring into the dark forest.

The blood scent grew closer and closer, seemingly heading straight for Lin Bai’s wooden house.

"Strange, the Flying Dragon Forest is the territory of the Sword God Family, how could there be such a strong scent of blood here?" Lin Bai murmured to himself, frowning as he looked into the forest.

Just then, a suddenly blood-red light shot out from the dark forest, rushing towards the wooden house.

And within that blood-red light, there seemed to be the shadow of a person.

"Ah!" Lin Ye roared angrily upon seeing it, his whole body surging with power, rushing towards the blood-red light.

Lin Bai immediately shouted: "Lin Ye, stop!"

The roaring Lin Ye stopped upon hearing Lin Bai.

The blood-red light flew straight towards Lin Bai’s wooden house, heavily crashing into the roof, and then the shadow of a person within the light rolled down in a sorry state, landing in front of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai stepped forward, looking at the man covered in blood, on the brink of death, and frowned as he said: "Lin Chen!"

The shadow within the blood-red light was indeed Lin Chen; due to the copious amounts of blood flowing from his body and his extreme flight speed, Lin Bai and Lin Ye only saw the blood-red light.

When the light fell before Lin Bai, it dissipated, allowing him to see Lin Chen.

Lin Bai squatted in front of Lin Chen, looking down, horrified to see nine wounds on Lin Chen’s body, all of which were sword marks, left by an extremely powerful sword cultivator.

"What happened?" Lin Bai retrieved Elixir Pills from his Storage Bag and administered them to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, his face pale, looked at Lin Bai weakly and said: "Lin Bai... Lin Bai... they... they..., run quickly... run quickly..., they’re coming..."

Lin Bai asked quietly: "What happened? Who injured you?"

Lin Chen’s voice faltered as he said: "Gu Yuzhu, Huo Cheng, Jiang Zhen..."

Upon hearing the names from Lin Chen, aside from Gu Yuzhu, Lin Bai recognized none of them.

"Heh heh!"

"Ran pretty fast!"

At this moment, a sneering voice emerged from the dark forest behind Lin Bai.

Lin Chen’s expression instantly turned pale upon hearing the voice, his body trembling with fear.

Lin Bai hastily stood up from the ground, turning to face the forest behind.

A man in black, holding a Sharp Sword, emerged from the forest, a cold smile playing at his lips, and his sword still dripping with blood.

The man smiled upon seeing Lin Bai and said: "You must be the fifth person, perfect timing, I intended to finish off Lin Chen and then come for you!"

"Now he brought me to you, saving me a lot of time!"

Lin Bai curiously asked: "Who are you?"

The man sneered: "I am Meng Rui!"

As Meng Rui announced his name, his face was filled with immense pride and confidence, as though Lin Bai would tremble in fear upon hearing it, just like Lin Chen.

But Lin Bai’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing it, as he had never heard of the name.

Waiting for a while without hearing Lin Bai’s expression of surprise, the man said peevishly: "Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I said? I am Meng Rui!"

Lin Bai replied: "I heard! But so what? Should I kneel down and worship upon hearing your name?"

Meng Rui sneered: "Kneel down and worship? That’s because I grant you the power to worship, cherish the opportunity, once I leave the Sword God Family, even if you wish to kneel before me, I won’t give you the chance!"

Lin Bai scoffed disdainfully and said: "Ha, such arrogance! After all this talk, you have not mentioned who you are? A Warrior of the Edgar Clan? Also a Warrior of the Ye Clan?"

Meng Rui said: "Neither, I was personally invited by the Sword God Family as a Warrior, unlike you lot who rely on brute force to enter the Sword God Family!"

"You rely on luck, while we rely on strength!"

"Sooner or later, you Warriors who entered the Sword God Family by chance will be left behind, trampled underfoot!"

"We are the true Tianjiao, soaring across the Nine Heavens like Divine Dragons, flying over all beings like Phoenixes, swimming in the four seas like Kunpeng, suppressing the Nine Nether like Divine Spirits..."

"While you are merely opportunistic, to be honest, I oppose the Sword God Family recruiting Warriors through Sky Sword City because you don’t deserve to enter the Sword God Family!"

"Your presence within the Sword God Family will only tarnish this sacred place!"

"Thus, we intend to exclude you all!"

Meng Rui mocked with laughter.

Lin Bai at this point seemed to grasp some of the meaning, it appeared these invited Tianjiao looked down on the Warriors who came from Sky Sword City and planned to push them out.

Lin Bai asked: "How do you plan to exclude us?"

Meng Rui laughed: "Killing you would incur punishment from the Sword God Family; but if we cripple your Dantian and Cultivation, the Sword God Family won’t penalize us Tianjiao over a few crippled individuals!"

Speaking, Meng Rui raised his sword edge, coldly addressing Lin Bai.

"It’s fitting that I ran into you now, let’s deal with this together!" Meng Rui’s lips curled into a cruel smile, his figure moved, flying from a hundred meters away, appearing before Lin Bai.

His Sharp Sword swept up, its icy Sword Aura piercing the night sky.

Swish––

With one sweeping sword stroke, it cut across one hundred meters, like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, destroying everything in its path.

"Careful, Lin Bai!" Lin Chen weakly shouted at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai stood still, watching Meng Rui’s approach, unmoving, until the moment Meng Rui attacked, Lin Bai’s Eyes suddenly opened wide, and a hint of killing intent surged forth!

Three-Colored Divine Thunder gathered on Lin Bai’s two fingers, pinching the approaching sword of Meng Rui.

"What?" Seeing his sword blade caught between Lin Bai’s fingers, Meng Rui was somewhat incredulous.

At this moment, Lin Bai lightly chuckled: "Martial Soul Secret Skill! Cease War!"

A sudden black glow emanated from Lin Bai’s fingers, spreading out, enveloping Meng Rui’s sword, accompanied by a series of crisp "crack, crack, crack" sounds.

Meng Rui’s sword blade exploded forcefully.

The blade shattered, countless fragments flying out, Lin Bai flicked them with his hand, striking Meng Rui, causing him to be covered in blood and flesh, wretchedly flying backward, landing heavily hundreds of meters away.

"Is this the Divine Dragon soaring across the Nine Heavens? Is this the Phoenix flying over all beings? Is this the Kunpeng exploring the four seas? Is this the Divine Spirit suppressing the Nine Nether?"

"Ha ha!"

Lin Bai looked at Meng Rui and scoffed disdainfully: "I think you’re more like a worm than a Divine Dragon!"
