The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2975 - 2950: Escape from Death

Taking advantage while the Nine-headed Snake was recovering, Lin Bai quickly used sword-controlling skill to escape.

When the Nine-headed Snake recovered, it could only roar furiously without stopping.

The deafening roars of the Nine-headed Snake echoed on both sides of the Manwu River.

After a while, the giant body of the Nine-headed Snake slowly sank into the water, disappearing under the Manwu River’s muddy surface as if it had never appeared.

After both the Nine-headed Snake and Lin Bai vanished, the demon beasts and warriors hiding on both sides finally emerged from hiding, observing the gradually calming waters of this place. Who could believe that just now, at this place, a warrior had beheaded a prehistoric giant beast?

This scene, even if it were told, would likely be hard for anyone to believe.

Not long after, the demon beasts and warriors all left the area. But within just two or three days, a piece of Recording Orb spread throughout the entire Southern Continent via Tianbao Tower.

The image within this Recording Orb was shockingly of a white-robed man battling a prehistoric giant beast above the Manwu River.

This image caused a tremendous commotion among the Southern Continent martial artists.

...

While Lin Bai stalled the Nine-headed Snake, the guest ship had already sped several million miles away, far from that battleground region.

At this point, the flames on the guest ship have also extinguished; the once splendid and majestic guest ship has become tattered and only the framework supports its journey on the Manwu River.

The Old Man stopped at this moment, turning back to look at the river surface behind, his gaze showing deep contemplation.

At this moment, Liu Fei, who had been hiding and trembling in the cabin, emerged again. Seeing the restored calm around, a hint of joy also appeared on his face.

Liu Fei said, "Elder Wei, why are we stopping? Let’s go quickly!"

The warriors on the guest ship, having just survived a life-and-death catastrophe, were still shaken. Hearing Liu Fei’s words, they said dejectedly, "Just now, Brother Lin Bai went to stall the Nine-headed Snake. We don’t know if he can catch up!"

Mu Ting said to the Old Man, "Elder Wei, we have already left that area far behind. Let’s wait here!"

Ye Suxin and Lin Ye stood together, silent.

The Old Man also remained silent, pondering something unknown.

Liu Fei urgently shouted, "Elder Wei, what are we waiting for? Quickly go, in case those demon beasts chase us again, with our current strength we wouldn’t stand a chance!"

"Since Lin Bai is willing to stall the demon beasts for us, that’s his own choice and nothing to do with us. We have no reason to risk waiting here for him!"

"Elder Wei, let’s go!"

"Everyone, say something! Let’s go quickly!"

Liu Fei said impatiently.

The surrounding warriors angrily looked at Liu Fei and said, "Liu Fei, shut your mouth. Brother Lin Bai disregarded his own life and safety to buy us escape time. Now that we are temporarily safe, how can we abandon him?"

"Liu Fei, I advise you to shut up, or else I’ll throw you into the Manwu River!"

"My anger hasn’t subsided yet. Liu Fei, if you’re bold enough, try provoking me!"

The surrounding warriors said coldly and sarcastically to Liu Fei.

Liu Fei stood awkwardly, stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "I’m only trying to help you. Do you all really want to court death?"

At this moment, the Old Man, with somewhat cold eyes, looked at Liu Fei and said in a low voice, "Liu Fei, if it weren’t for the troubles you caused on the guest ship, we wouldn’t be in this situation!"

"What? Have you forgotten? Were it not for you trying to throw the siblings Mu Ting and Mu Yu into the Manwu River?"

"Because of you, how did so many demon beasts get drawn here?"

"This guest ship is my ship, and every move on it is known by me!"

"Do you still want to deceive me?"

The Old Man said coldly, glaring at Liu Fei.

"So it was you who caused trouble!" The surrounding warriors glared at Liu Fei and shouted.

Liu Fei was so frightened that his expression was blank, his steps staggered as he retreated.

And just at this moment, over the distant river surface, a quickly approaching stream of light appeared in everyone’s field of vision.

"He’s here." Ye Suxin’s solemn expression finally revealed a hint of a smile.

Swish——

That long streak of light flew rapidly and appeared above the guest ship, transforming into a white-robed man.

At this moment, all the warriors looked at the white-robed man, and they saw his blood-stained white robe and pale face.

The man revealed to be Lin Bai.

Even though the guest ship burned a forbidden skill, its speed was incredible, but the sword-controlling skill could cover 108,000 miles in an instant, catching up to the guest ship easily.

Lin Bai descended from the flying swords, speaking coldly: "Let’s go!"

The Old Man saw Lin Bai return, noticing Lin Bai was heavily injured, but he also showed unprecedented astonishment on his face. After a moment, the Old Man hurriedly urged the guest ship to continue forward.

"Our guest ship is now damaged, incapable of reaching Fire Lotus Mountain, we need to repair it at the next ferry crossing!"

"The next ferry crossing is 5 million miles away, known as Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing, it’ll take about five or six days, hopefully, the guest ship can hold up!"

The Old Man steered the guest ship, briefly explaining the situation, then the guest ship tottered on the river surface, speeding towards Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing.

The warriors on the guest ship, seeing Lin Bai return, also smiled on their faces.

Ye Suxin supported Lin Bai to rest beside him, and Lin Bai closed his eyes treating his injuries.

The others noticed Lin Bai healing, and they didn’t disturb him.

Liu Fei, meanwhile, wisely hid behind the crowd, avoiding the gazes of other warriors. After all, Liu Fei is now the target of everyone’s ire!

Seven days later, the guest ship shakily entered Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing.

Within Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing, hundreds of guest ships also berthed, waiting to depart.

At this time, many warriors boarded the guest ships.

Now, all the warriors at Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing raised their heads, looking at the distant guest ship over Manwu River, their expressions showing shock.

When this guest ship arrived in Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing, the warriors were surprised and said, "This..."

"What did this guest ship experience on Manwu River to appear so ragged?"

"It’s just a skeleton, struggling to fly back!"

"It must have encountered a demon beast attack!"

"It seems to be a ship from Zhaixing Tower!"

Warriors at Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing discussed.

Immediately, several elders from Zhaixing Tower rushed out from the crossing, came to the guest ship, discussed with the Old Man, learned about the situation, and began guiding the guest ship into the crossing.

After the guest ship docked properly at the crossing, the Old Man once again appeared in front of everyone, cupping his fist and said, "Everyone, I fear I must apologize to you!"

"This time, the guest ship has been severely damaged and cannot leave Hidden Dragon Ferry Crossing for a short time. It may take a month or two to fully repair!"

"Although everyone has paid Spirit Liquid, you may reclaim half of it here!"

"If you still wish to go to Fire Lotus Mountain, then you must find another way."

The Old Man said earnestly.

Hearing the Old Man’s words, the surrounding warriors did not blame the Old Man or Zhaixing Tower, and some even didn’t retrieve half of their Spirit Liquid, choosing to leave directly, find a place, and quietly rest.

After all, the catastrophe over Manwu River is not something everyone can easily accept in a short time!
