The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3059 - 3034: Giving You Face!
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
"Tingzong!" Suyong Fei saw Lin Bai knock Su Tingzong flying with a single sword, sending him crashing to the ground unable to get up, and his gaze instantly shifted, killing intent condensing all over him.
A palm strike swept over from afar; fortunately Lin Bai sensed it in time and instantly shifted away.
Suyong Fei’s figure flickered, landing in front of Su Tingzong. He lifted Su Tingzong out from the ruins, then looked toward Lin Bai with a hostile gaze.
In Suyong Fei’s arms, Su Tingzong said weakly, on the verge of death: "I’m sorry, Master, I lost again."
Suyong Fei said coldly: "It’s fine. As long as this old man is still by your side, you can still afford to fail!"
"Losing now may very well be a good thing."
"Every defeat you taste now will become the stepping stones for you to reach the peak as a Strong One. It won’t be long before all the Sword Cultivators Under Heaven will be trembling in fear under your sword edge!"
Suyong Fei said coldly.
Su Tingzong’s expression was collapsing, his body tottering as he said: "Master, will I really become the one and only Sword Cultivator Under Heaven?"
Suyong Fei looked at Su Tingzong and said coldly: "You will! You are Su Tingzong, the legendary genius upon the Southern Continent, possessor of the God-level Martial Soul, the God-Slaying Sword, one of the most outstanding geniuses since the founding of the Sword Pavilion Clan!"
"You will definitely become the strongest Sword Cultivator Under Heaven, a Strong One who suppresses the Five Continents!"
"Do not give up, Tingzong!"
"Your world is only just beginning!"
Suyong Fei said coldly.
Hearing this speech from Suyong Fei, hope once more flickered to life in the dimness of Su Tingzong’s eyes, ashes rekindled. He looked at Lin Bai, his gaze vicious as he said: "Master, I understand!"
"Please give me one more Opportunity. In the future I will definitely seek out Lin Bai, defeat him, and bring his head back to the Sword Pavilion Clan!"
Suyong Fei nodded and said: "Very well, as your Master I will leave Lin Bai’s life to you!"
Hearing the exchange between Suyong Fei and Su Tingzong, Lin Bai said disdainfully: "If you’ve got the guts, then come!"
With that, Lin Bai no longer intended to bother with Su Tingzong.
With Suyong Fei present, Lin Bai wanting to kill Su Tingzong was practically impossible.
Immediately, Lin Bai looked toward the battlefield.
Suyong Fei, Suyong He, and Yan Long, three Strong Ones at the Peak of the Wending Realm, were besieging Gu Qi.
But Gu Qi possessed three Golden Armored Mudman Talisman Soldiers, so he was not the least bit afraid of these three, fighting them to an Inseparable deadlock.
On the other side, Yan Ji, leading the Strong Ones of the Emperor Tribe and the Sword Pavilion Clan, had almost slaughtered the younger generation of the Daogu Tribe completely; even Gu Xiang had been driven into a Desperate situation.
"Pfft!" Gu Xiang spat out a mouthful of blood, blasted flying by Yan Ji.
Yan Ji snorted coldly, his figure shifting as he moved in to kill Gu Xiang.
At that very instant, Lin Bai flew over.
At the moment when Yan Ji was about to annihilate Gu Xiang, Lin Bai appeared in front of Gu Xiang, his Wooden Sword slashing forward, forcing back Yan Ji’s incoming sword strike.
Struck by Lin Bai’s sword, Yan Ji retreated a hundred meters in a wretched state. When he lifted his head again and saw Lin Bai, his expression grew somewhat complicated.
"Brother Lin, what is the Meaning of this? Do you truly intend to interfere in the War of the Daogu Tribe?"
Yan Ji said coldly.
Lin Bai turned to look at Gu Xiang. Though this woman’s Cultivation was also at Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection, she was still far inferior to Yan Ji.
If Lin Bai hadn’t intervened, that palm strike just now would likely have killed Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang lay on the ground, barely clinging to life. Seeing Lin Bai standing before her, a trace of stubbornness showed on her Face.
Lin Bai suddenly said: "This woman has shown me kindness. Today, I’m protecting her life!"
Yan Ji chuckled lightly: "Kindness? Then I truly don’t understand—just how great a kindness has this Miss Gu Xiang shown Brother Lin?"
Gu Xiang herself was quite baffled—how had she ever shown kindness to Lin Bai?
Even Gu Xiang didn’t understand when she had done anything kind for Lin Bai.
Lin Bai said: "She Once fed my daughter two steamed buns!"
"I said back then that I, Lin Bai, would remember this kindness!"
Hearing this, Yan Ji’s Face showed a look of surprise as he stared at Lin Bai: "A mere two steamed buns? Is Brother Lin truly planning to become an enemy of my Emperor Tribe over the kindness of two buns?"
"Brother Lin, if your daughter likes steamed buns, then once this matter is concluded, come to my Emperor Tribe. I, Yan Ji, can provide her with more buns than she could eat in a lifetime!"
"So I ask Brother Lin Bai, today, please give me some face and step aside!"
Yan Ji looked at Lin Bai and spoke in a low voice.
Lin Bai said: "Those two steamed buns hold extraordinary Meaning for me. So today, I am determined to protect Gu Xiang’s life!"
"If Brother Yan Ji wants to come up and have a bout, then I, Lin Bai, will accompany you to the end!"
Lin Bai lifted the Wooden Sword, staring coldly at Yan Ji as he spoke.
Yan Ji looked at Lin Bai, his expression somewhat displeased.
In Yan Ji’s heart, Lin Bai’s talk of protecting Gu Xiang’s life over the kindness of two steamed buns was clearly just a pretext, merely an excuse Lin Bai had casually come up with.
Lin Bai simply wanted to protect Gu Xiang, to protect the Daogu Tribe.
This so-called bun kindness was nothing more than Lin Bai’s cover story.
On the side, the Daogu Tribe’s Clan Leader, Gu Qi, was fighting fiercely. Seeing his daughter saved by Lin Bai, he felt deeply grateful to Lin Bai.
He had just been entangled by Suyong Fei and the others; although he saw Gu Xiang about to be slain by Yan Ji, he could do nothing. Now, seeing Lin Bai save Gu Xiang made Gu Qi immensely joyful.
Yan Ji stared coldly at Lin Bai. Although in his heart he felt that Lin Bai using the bun kindness as a reason to protect Gu Xiang was merely an excuse, he still didn’t wish to become enemies with Lin Bai.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Ji withdrew his offensive and smiled toward Lin Bai, saying: "Since Brother Lin Bai is unwilling to give me face, then today I’ll give Brother Lin Bai some face—Gu Xiang, I won’t kill."
Yan Ji pulled back, no longer attacking.
Lin Bai was stunned; he had thought Yan Ji would be like Su Tingzong and charge up to fight him desperately.
But Yan Ji’s way of doing things was completely different from Su Tingzong’s.
This man’s thoughts were hard to fathom; there was no telling what he truly wanted.
Lin Bai was also somewhat surprised by Yan Ji’s sudden withdrawal.
But since Yan Ji was not attacking anymore, Lin Bai smiled and said: "My thanks, Brother Yan Ji!"
Hearing Yan Ji’s words, Lin Bai was naturally pleased.
But the Warriors of the Sword Pavilion Clan were not.
Suyong Fei immediately roared in fury: "Yan Ji, what’s your Meaning?"
"Yan Long, is this the style of your Emperor Tribe?"
Seeing Yan Ji withdraw, Yan Long’s Face also turned somewhat unsightly, but upon hearing Suyong Fei’s words, he instantly said coldly: "Does the style of the Emperor Tribe need to be judged by your Sword Pavilion Clan?"
Hearing Yan Long’s retort, Suyong Fei ground his teeth and said: "Fine, fine, fine! Whoever your Emperor Tribe is unwilling to kill, my Sword Pavilion Clan will kill!"
"Today, whether it’s the Daogu Tribe, Gu Xiang, or Lin Bai, my Sword Pavilion Clan is determined to kill them all!"
"I’ll kill Lin Bai and Gu Xiang first, then kill Gu Qi!"
Suyong Fei suddenly pulled away, ignoring Gu Qi, and charged straight toward Lin Bai and Gu Xiang.
This Strong One at the Peak of the Wending Realm rushed in, and even Lin Bai felt a hint of pressure!
