The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2973 - 2948: Prehistoric Giant Beast! Nine-headed Snake!

The old man pushed the guest ship’s journey to the limit, forcing it out.

Lin Bai and the other warriors stood on the deck, all looking at the gigantic beast rushing towards them. Though it hadn’t reached the ship yet, the surging waves already struck the ship.

At this moment, Lin Bai noticed that the runes on the ship’s hull started to flash, transforming into flames and blazing fiercely.

In the blink of an eye, the guest ship turned into a ship of flames.

"It’s on fire, the ship is on fire..." the warriors cried out in panic.

The old man said coldly, "What’s there to panic about? This is a formation engraved on the ship, used for escaping at critical moments!"

"But using this formation comes at a great cost. Not only will it shatter most of the hull, but it will also destroy the entire ship. Let’s hope we can make it to the next ferry crossing."

The old man’s expression was particularly solemn.

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Lin Bai suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the prehistoric giant beast’s attack.

Ye Suxin came to Lin Bai’s side and said in a low voice, "Lin Bai, you know I’ve inherited the legacy of the Beast-controlling Ancestor and have been cultivating the ’Qiankun Beast-controlling Art’."

"These days, I’ve been comprehending the mysteries of this spell, and now I can perform it!"

"Perhaps we could..."

Ye Suxin whispered.

"No," Lin Bai responded coldly, "This prehistoric giant beast is too powerful!"

"I know you are aware of the ’Qiankun Beast-controlling Art,’ but don’t forget, I’ve also obtained the Dragon Slaying Skill!"

"Although the Dragon Slaying Skill was created for beasts not easily killed, our current strength is too low to annihilate this giant beast!"

"The strength of this beast probably approaches the pinnacle of strong ones on the Barbaric Ancient Continent."

Lin Bai’s eyes were filled with terror.

At the moment Lin Bai saw the Primordial Colossal Nine-headed Snake, he considered using the Dragon Slaying Skill ’Sword One’ to annihilate it. But witnessing the dragon bone being easily destroyed by the Nine-headed Snake without any resistance, he realized it wouldn’t be easy to kill it.

As the guest ship was about to rush out, the enormous body of the Nine-headed Snake came forward where warriors and demon beasts were fighting, its nine heads howling to the sky.

Instantly, the nine heads of the Nine-headed Snake dove into the water one by one, grabbing demon beasts from below and swallowing them whole.

"My God, what is that thing!"

"Is that the prehistoric giant beast?"

"Nine-headed Snake, is it the Nine-headed Snake?"

"What’s it doing?"

The warriors on the guest ship could faintly see the immense size of the Nine-headed Snake.

Even the vast ship seemed like a small stone in front of it.

"It’s hunting!" the old man exclaimed, eyes narrowing, "Just as many demon beasts gathered there, I figure it won’t notice us for a while!"

"We can take advantage of this time to escape!"

The old man appeared somewhat worried.

With the appearance of the prehistoric giant beast, the demon beasts attacking the ship scattered and fled.

The guest ship rapidly hurled itself out of danger, exploiting a stream of flames, heading straight towards the Manwu River in front.

After swallowing a large number of demon beasts, the Nine-headed Snake seemed unsatisfied, the nine heads howled to the sky and charged towards the ship again.

It came with incredible speed, crossing over a thousand meters in the blink of an eye!

"It’s coming!"

"It’s coming!"

The warriors on the ship saw the gigantic body of the Nine-headed Snake crushing forward, its nine heads roaring, the sound echoing on both sides of the Manwu River, scaring the demon beasts both sides and in the water into chaotic escape!

"Damn it!" the old man cursed lowly, teeth clenched.

The Nine-headed Snake’s speed was too fast; even with the forbidden spell formation, the ship couldn’t completely outrun it.

As if it had its sights set on the ship, it charged relentlessly forward.

"No, at this rate we’ll be caught!" Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed, speaking coldly.

Ye Suxin said, "Lin Bai, don’t be impulsive. You mentioned earlier that the strength of this prehistoric beast is nearing the peak strong ones of the Barbaric Ancient Continent. Even with the Dragon Slaying Skill, your current cultivation is not enough to kill it."

Lin Bai replied, "I understand, I just need to hold it off for a while."

"Otherwise, when it catches up, the warriors on this ship will die, and both you and Lin Ye might not escape its clutches!"

Lin Bai’s gaze was firm.

Ye Suxin stared at Lin Bai in a daze and asked, "Do you have a way to hold it off? And when you do, how will you escape?"

Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said, "I naturally have the ability to escape! You don’t need to worry about that!"

"You and Lin Ye stay on the ship."

"Lin Ye, protect Suxin."

Lin Bai instructed Lin Ye.

Lin Ye nodded resolutely.

At that moment, the Nine-headed Snake was already within a hundred meters of the ship, its raised waves hitting the vessel, nearly tearing it apart.

The gigantic body of the Nine-headed Snake covered the sky, its nine heads coldly looking down at the warriors on the ship.

Some warriors on the ship looked up at the heads of the Nine-headed Snake, gazed into its eyes, and were scared to the ground.

"It’s over, it’s over; it’s coming."

"We’re doomed!"

"We’re done for."

The warriors lamented despondently.

The old man resignedly said, "Since we’ve come to this point, let fate take its course!"

His words held a hint of surrender.

Roar! Roar! Roar...

The Nine-headed Snake’s heads howled to the sky, its roar deafening.

Then, its nine heads descended together, attacking the deck with their target the warriors collapsed on the ground.

At that moment.

Swish—

A dazzling sword aura streaked across the sky, hitting the scales on the neck of one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads, causing sparks to fly.

A bit of pain made the head that had lunged down sway back up.

The Nine-headed Snake fixated its angry gaze on the ship, its nine heads focusing on Lin Bai.

Lin Bai stepped forward, gripping the wooden sword, and stared coldly at the Nine-headed Snake.

In front of the massive body, Lin Bai seemed as insignificant as an ant.

"Brother Lin..." Mu Ting exclaimed in surprise.

The surrounding warriors turned their gaze towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai spoke calmly, "You go on ahead. I’ll hold it off!"

The old man looked at Lin Bai with gratitude and nodded.

Lin Bai said, "But be cautious; I might not hold it off for long, just a moment!"

The old man nodded and said, "A moment is enough for us to escape!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, stepped out, leaving the ship, stood on the flying sword, looking up at the vast body of the Nine-headed Snake.

Lin Bai alone hindered the path of the Nine-headed Snake.

The Nine-headed Snake’s heads opened their blood-filled mouths, roaring towards Lin Bai.

"Come on, let me witness the power of the prehistoric beast!" Lin Bai gripped the wooden sword tightly, saying coolly to the Nine-headed Snake.
