The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2896 - 2871: Scholar Bai Mu

Scholar Bai Mu and Monk Jiufeng, these two were also warriors on Peach Mountain back in the day.

Only after the events more than twenty years ago did they have to go into hiding. If it weren’t for Fu Qingshuang’s summons this time, they probably wouldn’t have appeared in the East Continent.

Zhang Yushan and the others’ expressions slightly flickered, and they gathered together, their faces grim.

"Fu Qingshuang, Xun Zhizang, Su Yanhua, Bai Mu, Monk Jiufeng, who would’ve thought we’d encounter traitors from over twenty years ago here!" Zhang Yushan growled through gritted teeth.

Scholar Bai Mu shook his folding fan and said, "Not so, not so, how can they be called traitors? Back then, we just lost a couple of rounds. The so-called winner is king; we have nothing to say!"

Since Monk Jiufeng’s appearance, he had been silently reciting mantras, not speaking.

The gazes of Xun Zhizang and Su Yanhua inadvertently glanced at Lin Bai, their faces showing some guilt and remorse.

Songyun He asked, "What do we do?"

Zhang Yushan sneered, "What else? Fight them! The Central Holy Nation has quite the bounty on them. Capturing them is much more rewarding than catching Lin Bai and Ye Suxin!"

Songyun He and Su Cheng exchanged a look, silently making up their minds.

Songyun He once again brought out the Summoning Soul Banner.

Su Cheng’s body emanated a burst of golden light.

Scholar Bai Mu laughed, "Fu Qingshuang, it seems they want a battle with us!"

Fu Qingshuang coldly laughed, "Just what I wanted!"

Xun Zhizang said coldly, "Quick battle, or it’ll be unfavorable for us if too many people are drawn here later!"

"Alright!"

Scholar Bai Mu chuckled softly, closed his folding fan, and approached Zhang Yushan, saying, "Senior Zhang Yushan, back when I was still learning at the East Continent Academy, I knew that your cultivation of the ’Slaughter Blade’ was one of the rare ultimate techniques in the Sky Area!"

"I’ve always wanted to challenge it; looks like I have the opportunity today!"

Scholar Bai Mu said with a laugh.

Zhang Yushan’s eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice, "I’m just afraid you won’t be able to block my blade!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yushan swung his blade at Scholar Bai Mu while simultaneously flashing forward to engage in battle with Bai Mu!

In an instant, Songyun He shook the Summoning Soul Banner, launching an attack on Su Yanhua from behind.

Li Fu wasn’t idle either, engaging in combat with Fu Qingshuang.

Monk Jiufeng was fighting with Gu Daozhi.

Xun Zhizang looked at Su Cheng at this moment, and as he launched an attack, he transmitted a message to Ye Suxin, saying, "Take him away; leave this to us!"

Upon hearing the transmission, Ye Suxin looked at the fierce battle in mid-air, immediately picked up Lin Bai, and turned to flee southward.

Ye Suxin didn’t know where they were escaping to, but at least for the moment, she needed to take Lin Bai away from this place!

Ye Suxin’s cultivation wasn’t high, only at the fifth layer of the Death Reversal Realm, thanks in part to Zhao Yue occupying Ye Suxin’s body and helping her cultivate. Otherwise, Ye Suxin’s cultivation would permanently stop at the moment of her death!

With her low cultivation, her speed was very, very slow.

And just as Ye Suxin was desperately fleeing with Lin Bai, from Lin Bai’s body emerged two Flying Swords, landing beneath Ye Suxin and Lin Bai’s feet, dragging them away, transforming into Escape Light, disappearing tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

This wasn’t Ye Suxin controlling the Flying Swords; it was entirely the Flying Swords’ self-preservation instinct for their master.

With the sword-controlling skill, Lin Bai and Ye Suxin instantly traversed several territories, disappearing off the East Continent.

...

Meanwhile, in the Jianghai Region, the fierce battle among Fu Qingshuang and the others was far from over.

"Slaughter Blade!" Zhang Yushan gave a cold snort, forming a sinister long blade with his spiritual power in his hand and ruthlessly slashing at Bai Mu.

Scholar Bai Mu faintly smiled, spread open his folding fan, wielded spiritual power, and waved forward, a tumultuous storm sweeping up, instantly devouring Zhang Yushan’s Saber Qi.

"What!" Zhang Yushan was incredibly shocked as he looked at Bai Mu.

Bai Mu sneered slightly, stepped forward, raised his hand to the sky, and lightly laughed, "Teaching Heaven’s Hand!"

Zhang Yushan looked up at the Cloud Sky in shock, where a powerful force had gathered into a palm, and in that palm’s grip, a ruler was faintly visible, which slapped down viciously on Zhang Yushan.

"If you don’t listen, you should be punished!"

Bai Mu smiled slightly.

The ruler slammed down, striking Zhang Yushan, and with a puff, Zhang Yushan spewed blood, his body flying back in a sorry state.

And in that instant, the second strike from the ruler arrived instantly.

Zhang Yushan, already unconscious and in a sorry state, severely wounded, looked at the ruler attacking again and cried out in horror, "No, no, no..."

Pa!

The ruler swept past, striking Zhang Yushan.

A booming sound was heard as Zhang Yushan’s body was crushed, his divine soul shattered!

After killing Zhang Yushan, Scholar Bai Mu smiled faintly, saying, "It was easier to deal with than I imagined."

On the other side.

Songyun He looked terrified; the Summoning Soul Banner in his hand had been slashed to tatters by Su Yanhua.

Staggering back, Songyun He looked in horror at the one-armed man in front of him, saying in a terrified expression, "I never intended to be your enemy!"

Su Yanhua said coldly, "Indeed, I never thought to be your enemy either, but who’d have thought... today I must kill you!"

As he spoke, Su Yanhua wielded his sword, and with a swift slash, the sword aura swallowed Songyun He’s body, destroying his divine soul.

After Su Yanhua slew Songyun He, his gaze turned towards Xun Zhizang and Su Cheng’s battlefield.

He saw Xun Zhizang gaining the upper hand completely.

Countless Divine Soldier Weapons flew out from Purple Gold City, slashing at the golden light around Su Cheng, and in an instant, Su Cheng retreated in defeat, the golden light on his body being shredded by Xun Zhizang’s Divine Soldier Weapons.

Retreating a thousand meters, Su Cheng said in horror, "Xun Zhizang’s Purple Gold City contains so many Divine Soldier Weapons today!"

Standing above Purple Gold City, Xun Zhizang smiled and said, "It seems you cannot escape death in this battle."

Hearing this, Su Cheng said nothing further and tried to escape using a secret skill.

But at that moment, Purple Gold City suddenly shook, and from it shot a cold and relentless arrow, striking Su Cheng.

As the arrow struck Su Cheng, he cried out in shock, "Sun Shooting Arrow!"

Bang!

Letting out a startled cry, Su Cheng’s body instantly disintegrated, perishing on the spot.

Xun Zhizang chuckled lightly, "The Sun Shooting Arrow, refined to counter Everlasting Night City’s ’Sun True Scripture,’ finally sees some use!"

The five strong ones who came to hunt Lin Bai were now slain by the Eighteen Immortals of Peach Mountain, with three of them—Zhang Yushan, Su Cheng, and Songyun He—already dead, leaving only Gu Daozhi and Li Fu still stubbornly holding on.

But Li Fu’s duel with Fu Qingshuang clearly placed him at a disadvantage.

Meanwhile, Monk Jiufeng and Gu Daozhi’s match ended in a stalemate; neither could gain the upper hand on the other!
