The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3108 - 3083: Encountering Mo Qing Again!
Previously on The Unparalleled Sword Emperor...
A single sword chilled the heavens and earth, cold and ruthless.
Just as Lin Bai’s ruthless sword was about to kill Gou Chen, a rusty sword suddenly appeared in front of Gou Chen, blocking Lin Bai’s sword.
Clang—
After the fierce clash of the two sharp swords, a massive force wave was transmitted.
Lin Bai flashed and retreated a hundred meters.
When he looked up again, Lin Bai saw another young man appear in front of Gou Chen. At this moment, he was slowly inserting that rusty sword into the painting tube behind him.
This young man had a delicate face and looked even younger than Gou Chen, with dark, untainted eyes.
His attire was a simple green robe, looking very plain.
Lin Bai looked at this young man, remained silent, and his eyes narrowed sharply.
"Mo Qing!" Gou Chen exclaimed with surprise upon seeing this young man, "You’ve broken through to the Wending Realm? Have you emerged from seclusion?"
Mo Qing nodded slightly and said, "I stayed on the eighth layer of the Poison Cave for nearly half a year, finally breaking through to the Wending Realm. I didn’t expect that just when I was about to leave the Poison Cave, I would find you in a great battle with this person here."
"It seems I came just in time; otherwise, you might have been in danger today."
Upon hearing Mo Qing’s words, Gou Chen’s face darkened, and he gritted his teeth as he looked at Lin Bai.
"If it weren’t for him hitting my essential poison, how could I have been so easily injured by him?" Gou Chen gazed at the firebird lying in the ruins, his eyes filled with anguish.
Now that his essential poison was damaged, Gou Chen didn’t know how long it would take to refine and restore his essential poison.
Gou Chen coldly said, "This person trespassed into the Poison Cave. I came on my master’s orders to catch him, but I didn’t expect that his sword skill was so high. I was careless and turned out not to be his match."
Mo Qing chuckled lightly, "High sword skill?"
Gou Chen’s expression was solemn as he whispered to Mo Qing, "Although I rarely move about outside the Poison God Clan, based on my senses, this person’s sword skill might only be matched by Su Tingzong on the Southern Continent."
"Mo Qing, you need to be extra careful."
Mo Qing scoffed, "In my memory, aside from that Saint in the East Continent, anyone’s sword skill is trash in my eyes!"
"Let me meet you!"
Mo Qing smiled calmly, and immediately, a row of storage bags appeared, and a few seeds emitting a green glow flew out from his storage bag.
Mo Qing dropped the seeds at his feet.
The seeds immediately took root and began to grow wildly.
In the blink of an eye, the seed turned into a violently swaying vine, densely covered with sharp thorns, appearing particularly sinister.
"Poisonous Dragon Vine!" Gou Chen saw the vine grow wildly and immediately retreated a few steps, seemingly intending to distance himself from the Poisonous Dragon Vine.
"Kill!" Mo Qing said lightly.
Immediately, with a wave of Mo Qing’s sleeve, the Poisonous Dragon Vine rooted at his feet charged towards Lin Bai.
The vine, like a sharp sword, tore through the sky and reached Lin Bai in the blink of an eye.
Lin Bai swung his sword down, striking the vine, which should have been easily severed with Lin Bai’s sword skill.
But this scene did not unfold as Lin Bai had imagined.
The sharp sword struck the vine, and immediately a sound of metal clashing was heard.
The Poisonous Dragon Vine was unexpectedly tougher than the Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact in Lin Bai’s hand.
With a boom.
Lin Bai’s sword struck the Poisonous Dragon Vine, not shattering it but instead causing the longsword in Lin Bai’s hand to shatter abruptly.
"What a hard vine." Watching his longsword shatter, Lin Bai flashed aside and quickly withdrew.
The Poisonous Dragon Vine pursued Lin Bai relentlessly.
The vine seemed to be able to extend thousands of miles, infinitely.
No matter where Lin Bai fled, the vine would catch up.
"What a nuisance!" Lin Bai thought with a light smile as he evaded the Poisonous Dragon Vine’s attacks while pondering a tactic, "With my current status, it’s not appropriate to reveal my identity to meet Mo Qing."
"But if I don’t reveal my identity, Mo Qing probably won’t let me go easily today."
"However, I also don’t want to harm Mo Qing, for he is my friend and brother!"
Lin Bai looked at Mo Qing, memories of the past moments with Mo Qing resounding in his mind.
Although Lin Bai and Mo Qing hadn’t spent much time together, and unlike with Yin Jiuling and others, they hadn’t apprenticed together at the same place,
the brotherly bond between Lin Bai and Mo Qing had remained unchanged.
After meeting in Lingxi City back then, later in the Azure Dragon Empire, Lin Bai fought with Long Lingxiao, suffering severe poison, and Mo Qing came to help and detoxify Lin Bai.
Later, during the Great Witch Dynasty, Ye Suxin asked Mo Qing for help in Lin Bai’s name, and Mo Qing traveled thousands of miles from the Poison God Clan to the East Continent, hurrying day and night without any delay.
Mo Qing had shown kindness and loyalty to Lin Bai.
At this moment, Lin Bai couldn’t bring himself to harm Mo Qing.
"Why doesn’t he fight back? He just keeps fleeing?" Mo Qing watched as his Poisonous Dragon Vine forced Lin Bai into a situation where he had no escape, but Lin Bai never attacked again after the first sword.
Recalling Gou Chen’s words, this person was an extraordinarily skilled Sword Cultivator, a match for Su Tingzong, and couldn’t possibly be so weak, right? Was it that he couldn’t even handle the Poisonous Dragon Vine?
Mo Qing was filled with doubt.
Gou Chen also watched Lin Bai’s actions in amazement, puzzled. After thinking carefully, he immediately said, "He’s looking for a Teleportation Array! Mo Qing, stop him quickly!"
"So that’s it, you’re trying to escape?" Mo Qing suddenly understood, and with a flick of a spell, the tip of the Poisonous Dragon Vine split in two, attacking Lin Bai.
At this moment.
Lin Bai saw a courtyard within the ancient city ahead, with a complex formation inscribed within it.
This was the Teleportation Array.
"Found it!"
Lin Bai’s face lit up with joy.
However, just then, the Poisonous Dragon Vine that had split in two attacked Lin Bai from left and right, blocking his path to the Teleportation Array.
"Sigh!" Lin Bai sighed with a bitter smile, "No choice then, Mo Qing, you forced my hand. I’ll treat you to a few jugs of wine later."
At this moment, Lin Bai’s Sword Intention surged.
Lin Bai held a sword finger, the Sword Intention gathering at his fingertip forming a Transparent Sword.
A sword descended, striking the Poisonous Dragon Vine, severing it in an instant.
At that moment, as the Poisonous Dragon Vine was severed, Lin Bai stepped into the Teleportation Array, his form entering the Ninth Floor!
"This..." Mo Qing was in disbelief as he watched Lin Bai’s silhouette teleported away from the eighth layer, his eyes flashing with astonishment.
Gou Chen gritted his teeth and growled, "Mo Qing, didn’t I say his sword skill is incredibly strong? He doesn’t even need a sword; just the Sword Intention was enough to sever your Poisonous Dragon Vine!"
"He’s definitely not an ordinary character."
"I’ll notify my master immediately!"
As he spoke, Gou Chen was about to take out the Sound Transmission Token.
Mo Qing quickly said, "Gou Chen, no need. Leave this person to me!"
