The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2974 - 2949: Fierce Battle with the Giant Beast!

Lin Bai walked out of the Guest Ship, stood on the Flying Swords, and faced the Nine-headed Snake.

The Guest Ship instantly vanished behind Lin Bai.

Blocked by Lin Bai, the Nine-headed Snake’s path was cut off; the blood-red Eyes on its nine heads were all fixed on Lin Bai, its gaze flickering with bloody fury as it bared its fangs at him.

Then, an earth-shattering roar erupted, like the might of heaven itself, bursting from the Nine-headed Snake’s mouths!

"Roar!"

The Nine-headed Snake roared in rage; the sound waves shook the Manwu River into towering waves, shattered the cliffs on both sides into layer upon layer of cracks, collapsed the forests on both banks in an instant, and sent all the Demon Beasts within ten thousand meters fleeing in panic!

With that roar, the Nine-headed Snake’s nine heads dove down, bloody maws gaping wide as they lunged to tear Lin Bai apart.

Lin Bai stepped on the Flying Swords, darting away at extreme speed.

The Sword-controlling Skill was pushed by Lin Bai to its limit as he constantly dodged the assaults of the Nine-headed Snake’s nine heads.

"Slash!"

"Zhanlong Sword Skill! Zhanlong Returning to the Sea Skill!"

"Zhanlong Sword Skill! Hidden Dragon in the Abyss!"

Lin Bai, standing on the Flying Swords, wielded the Wooden Sword as the moves of the "Dragon Slashing Sword Skill" flowed one after another; each Sword Skill struck the Nine-headed Snake’s scales and flesh, knocking out showers of sparks.

Dang, dang, dang——

A series of piercing, deafening clangs rang out.

After several hundred fierce strikes in a row, Lin Bai still could not shatter a single scale on the Nine-headed Snake, let alone injure it in the slightest.

Standing on the Flying Swords, Lin Bai immediately pulled back a hundred meters, and said coldly, "These Prehistoric Giant Beasts, though they don’t possess the Human Clan’s level of intelligence, nor the Human Clan’s level of Strength!"

"Yet their bodies alone are hideously tough; Warriors of the same State would likely be unable to break through their scale armor!"

"Even if you break through, these Giant Beasts have terrifying vitality; even after hacking them a few hundred times and cutting off one of their heads, it’s still not easy to kill them!"

"Perhaps after exhausting all your strength to barely sever one head, the damage you inflict still can’t compare to the injury you’d suffer from just a casual hit from it!"

"This kind of battle was never meant to be winnable to begin with!"

"I truly don’t know how the Martial Art Seniors of the Ancient Era dealt with the countless Prehistoric Giant Beasts that roamed the Barbaric Ancient Continent back then!"

After crossing blows with the Nine-headed Snake for just a few breaths, Lin Bai had already discerned its terrifying might.

Its fleshly body had nearly reached the point where no Weapon could harm it; impervious to water and fire, untouched by blade or spear.

And its strength was so domineering that with a single roar it could shatter mountains and rivers, nearly impossible to oppose.

"Heaven-Measuring Ruler!" Lin Bai gave a low shout, and from within his Storage Bag flew out a Heavy Sword, landing in his hand; immediately, with a Wooden Sword in one hand and the Heaven-Measuring Ruler in the other, he stepped on the Flying Swords and charged in again.

"Sky-splitting Sword Skill! Mountain-splitting Skill!"

The Heaven-Measuring Ruler crashed down in a heavy blow, smashing onto one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads; flesh and blood instantly splattered everywhere.

This strike finally shattered the Nine-headed Snake’s scale armor.

But that was all it did—merely break the scales. Such a negligible wound could not possibly inflict any fatal effect on the Nine-headed Snake.

On the contrary... Lin Bai had completely enraged it.

Blood streamed down from one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads, yet it suffered no great harm; instead, it was driven into a frenzy, glaring at Lin Bai as it let out continuous furious roars.

But Lin Bai still paid it no mind. Wooden Sword in one hand, Heaven-Measuring Ruler in the other, he let the Sword-controlling Skill ceaselessly shift and dodge his body as he launched relentless attacks on the Nine-headed Snake, move after move, Sword after Sword.

Every Sword that landed on the Nine-headed Snake’s body burst into a flare of blinding sparks.

Just then, as Lin Bai was locked in fierce battle with the Nine-headed Snake above the Manwu River—

Within the mountain forests on both banks, one terrifying Demon Beast after another gathered, crouching in the shadows as they watched the Great battle over the Manwu River.

These Demon Beasts possessed extremely high intelligence; though they were unwilling to transform into human form, their wits were nearly no different from an ordinary person’s.

As the Demon Beasts watched Lin Bai and the Nine-headed Snake clash, an unprecedented look of shock appeared in their pupils.

There were even some Warriors who had long lived by hunting Demon Beasts who now appeared on both banks of the Manwu River, staring, dumbstruck, at the Great battle between the Nine-headed Snake and Lin Bai!

"Is that the Prehistoric Giant Beast, the Nine-headed Snake?"

"I never thought it actually existed! I always assumed it was just a legend about the Manwu River!"

"The Nine-headed Snake... so that’s a Prehistoric Giant Beast!"

"The Nine-headed Snake’s Strength, in the present Barbarian Ancient Continent, is probably enough to be called a peak existence!"

"Who is the one engaging it in battle?"

On both banks, many Warriors hidden in the dark stared wide-eyed at this clash.

Rumble, rumble, rumble——

The Manwu River surged with towering waves, its raging torrents spreading outward.

The Nine-headed Snake and Lin Bai battled fiercely for a brief span of time.

The Nine-headed Snake failed to injure Lin Bai.

Yet the damage Lin Bai dealt to the Nine-headed Snake was likewise negligible!

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, Lin Bai spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

His body was blasted off the Flying Swords, tumbling messily through the air for three thousand meters.

The Flying Swords spun around and shot forward at high speed; just as Lin Bai’s body was about to plunge into the water, they caught him.

Lin Bai lay prone on the Flying Swords, staring coldly at the Nine-headed Snake.

The Nine-headed Snake raised its heads high, glaring at Lin Bai with a ferocious look; it had already seen that Lin Bai was severely wounded, and believed victory was in its grasp!

"Beast!" Lin Bai rose from the Flying Swords, gripped the Wooden Sword, and immediately began running through Sword Skills move after move in his hands.

Every sword path was unleashed in rapid succession.

When seven hundred and twenty sword paths fused into one, a tremendous surge of power suddenly boiled up within Lin Bai, swiftly flooding into his limbs and bones.

"Dragon Slaying Skill! Sword One!"

Lin Bai roared, took a single step forward, lifted the Wooden Sword, and slashed toward the front.

The Wooden Sword cleaved down, and a heaven-rending Sword Aura tore through the sky.

As this Sword struck out, mountains and rivers shattered, wind and clouds changed color, sun and moon lost their light, the river flowed backward; the forests on both sides were utterly annihilated beneath this one Sword.

When the Sword fell, the waters of the Manwu River were completely split down the middle.

With a boom!

The Sword swept past one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads and struck its neck.

With a sharp "pfft," one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads was lopped off on the spot by Lin Bai’s Sword; the severed head tumbled down and plunged into the river.

"Roar!" As one head was cut off by Lin Bai, a shrill, miserable scream erupted from the Nine-headed Snake’s mouths; its roaring was deafening, filled not only with agony but even more with rage.

After severing one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads with a single Sword, Lin Bai’s face turned slightly pale; he chuckled lightly and said, "It seems the Dragon Slaying Skill truly holds the power to kill these beings that are so hard to slay!"

"This battle—I just wanted to test the power of the Dragon Slaying Skill!"

"It seems its reputation is well deserved!"

"Since that’s the case, vile beast, I won’t keep playing with you."

Seeing that the Dragon Slaying Skill’s Sword One had chopped off one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads, a satisfied smile appeared on Lin Bai’s Face. He immediately stepped onto the Flying Swords, and the Sword-controlling Skill carried him away from above the Manwu River at extreme speed.

In an instant, he vanished into the distance.

The Nine-headed Snake, missing one head severed by Lin Bai, was drenched in blood; at that moment, the massive wound on that neck began to writhe, and before long a brand-new head sprouted from the wound.

The Nine-headed Snake’s heads grew out once more.

Just then, the Nine-headed Snake lifted its heads again to look around, but finding no trace of Lin Bai, it could only keep roaring in furious rage!

The Warriors and Demon Beasts hidden within the forests on both sides were all scared out of their wits by that final Sword Lin Bai had unleashed just now: "What Sword Skill was that just now!"

"How could it possibly cut off one of the Nine-headed Snake’s heads!"

"Heavens, that Sword Skill is far too powerful!"
