The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3044 - 3019: Encountering the Four Symbols, Crossing Life and Death
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
With the Unbeatable Sword Skill executed to the Second Floor, Lin Bai’s strength now is comparable to a strong one at the second level of the Wending Realm.
Seeing that the two elders of the Sword Pavilion Clan had no intention of retreating, Lin Bai became furious, raised his Wooden Sword, leapt forward, and a powerful Sword Aura shot straight towards them.
"Do you think you’re the only one with a sword?" The two Wending Realm elders roared, simultaneously taking sharp swords from their storage bags, holding them in their hands.
The two both executed their sword skills simultaneously.
"Blood Shadow Dividing Spirit Sword!"
It turns out these two elders were both cultivating the Blood Shadow Dividing Spirit Sword of the Sword Pavilion Clan!
Shush shush shush——
A flurry of blood-red sword shadows swiftly danced mid-air, slashing towards Lin Bai.
"I’ve already seen this sword skill long ago; using the same sword skill a second time in front of me is pointless." Lin Bai coldly smiled, thrusting his Wooden Sword forward fiercely; a sword aura pierced through the Cloud Sky, directly hitting one Wending Realm elder.
With a spluttering sound.
This single sword not only pierced through this sword skill but also struck the elder, a sword through the chest, as blood gushed out wildly.
"Die!" Lin Bai coldly shouted, swinging his sword to slash, sending the other elder slashing away simultaneously.
Bam! Bam!
The two elders were knocked back one after another, falling to the ground in a sorry state.
"This!"
"Two elders!"
Su Shaoyou shouted in disbelief as he witnessed the scene.
The heavily wounded elders lay on the ground, dumbfounded, staring at Lin Bai in horror, and shouted at Su Shaoyou: "Young master, go quickly, this person is too strong, we are not his match!"
"Go notify Elder Suyong He to deal with him!"
The elders said coldly.
Suyong He, one of the elders of the Sword Pavilion Clan who came to the Dragon Tomb this time, besides Suyong Fei, his cultivation strength was the most formidable.
Suyong He’s cultivation still reached the peak of the Seventh Level of the Wending Realm.
This time Suyong Fei was engaged in a fierce battle with Gu Qi at the plaza.
And Suyong He accompanied Su Shaoyou and others up to Longshan.
"Quickly, young master!" The two elders shouted.
Su Shaoyou, pale-faced, glanced at Lin Bai, turned without a word, and led the group to flee hastily and embarrassingly.
"Trying to leave!" Lin Bai’s face showed anger; having already taken action, Lin Bai didn’t want to leave too many problems behind. Seeing Su Shaoyou trying to leave, Lin Bai immediately flew up, swinging a sword to block him.
But at this moment, the two heavily injured Wending Realm elders immediately flickered to block Lin Bai’s sword, buying a lot of time for Su Shaoyou to escape.
"Humph, though we are not your match, still we are warriors of the Wending Realm. To kill us, you would need to practice a few more years!" The two were confident that Lin Bai wouldn’t be able to annihilate them, so they came to stop Lin Bai with full confidence.
"Really?" Lin Bai let out a cold laugh.
He raised the Wooden Sword, a set of sword auras slashing forth, and Lin Bai roared: "Zhanlong Returning to the Sea Skill!"
The sword light was dazzling, its glow reaching the heavens.
This sword, like the Vast Ocean churning with monstrous waves, was unstoppable, cutting towards the two.
At this moment, the faces of these two Wending Realm warriors turned grim, finally understanding that Lin Bai indeed had the strength to vanquish them.
Splurt!
As the sword descended, two heads flew off directly.
The two Wending Realm strong ones of the Sword Pavilion Clan directly perished under Lin Bai’s sword blade.
Then, Lin Bai swiftly chased after them.
But by the time he returned to the Gu Dao, he found no trace of Su Shaoyou and the others.
"This place’s Gu Dao has over eighteen thousand paths, and without killing Su Shaoyou just now, now that he’s escaped, finding him again on Longshan’s Gu Dao might not be easy."
Lin Bai took a deep breath, sheathed the Wooden Sword, and decided not to waste time searching for Su Shaoyou.
Lin Bai retracted his mind, starting to ponder on the phrase that appeared in the Iron Box, what could it possibly mean!
"Tread the ancient path, see the Divine Tree!"
Lin Bai murmured softly.
Immediately, Lin Bai continued walking on the Gu Dao. This time, he did not simply wander into a side road.
Instead, searching carefully on each ancient path.
On Longshan, Lin Bai meandered around for half a day, continuously murmuring one phrase: "Tread the ancient path, see the Divine Tree..."
"Is there a Divine Tree on Longshan?"
Lin Bai said in surprise.
At that moment, an idea flashed through Lin Bai’s mind.
"Could it be..." Lin Bai murmured in surprise.
Immediately, Lin Bai soared into the air, flying up into the sky above Longshan.
On Longshan, a powerful restriction pressed down upon Lin Bai, forcing him to land.
But just in that instant of rising, Lin Bai saw...
The ancient paths on Longshan were like an unfolded Divine Tree.
And every side road was a branch of this moment’s Divine Tree.
"The ancient paths on Longshan are the Divine Tree!"
"Tread the ancient path, see the Divine Tree!"
"Meet the four celestial creatures, cross life and death!"
Lin Bai stood on the Gu Dao, deep in thought.
After a long while, Lin Bai softly murmured: "Azure Dragon of the East, White Tiger of the West, Vermilion Bird of the South, Black Tortoise of the North..."
"This refers to directions!"
"Which means, the path to truly enter the Dragon Tomb is only those four paths!"
"And on Longshan, among over eighteen thousand roads, only four paths lead into the Dragon Tomb!"
Lin Bai stood on the Gu Dao, discerning the directions.
Immediately, Lin Bai chose a path leading eastward and proceeded forward.
On this ancient path, a side road appeared, Lin Bai still chose the easternmost path.
On the side road, a fork appeared again, Lin Bai still chose the most eastern path...
Repeating this cycle, Lin Bai didn’t know how many times he chose.
Finally, Lin Bai arrived at the very end of the easternmost ancient path.
Here, there was still a mountain cave.
Lin Bai quietly walked towards it, entering the mountain cave.
Inside the cave, there was no stone table or iron box, but a dark corridor leading to an unknown place.
Standing inside the cave, looking at the dark corridor in front of him, Lin Bai chuckled bitterly: "Ah, Daogu Tribe, you really have nothing better to do, creating so many tricks."
"If it weren’t for my luck in finding that iron box with the text, I would probably be like everyone else, still looping around on Longshan!"
Lin Bai looked toward the dark corridor ahead, took out a Nightlight Stone from his storage bag, and walked in.
Inside the corridor, it led all the way down, seemingly descending to beneath Longshan.
After a short walk, ahead of Lin Bai, there appeared two brand new corridors.
Unlike the other corridors, the passage before these two corridors had words written on them: one was "Seek Life," and one was "Seek Death."
"Tread the ancient path, see the Divine Tree, meet the four celestial creatures, cross life and death..."
"Is it now time to cross life and death?"
"Before these two corridors, one seeks life, one seeks death!"
"Interesting."
Lin Bai looked at the two corridors, but he wasn’t in a hurry to choose.
