The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 3212 - 3187: Azure Sky Demon-slaying Sword

Lin Bai roared angrily, slashing down with his sword from the heavens.

In the eyes of the Longhe Governor, he only saw a sword qi stirring the wind and clouds descend from the sky, tearing through the void and firmament along its path. Even before it landed, a strong sense of death surrounded him.

"Not good!"

The Longhe Governor hurriedly retreated in haste, but at this critical moment, the sword had already fallen.

The Longhe Governor could only grit his teeth and endure as blood splattered everywhere, and an arm was torn off by that sword.

In that instant, disregarding his own body, Lin Bai lifted Su Jin and dashed toward the horizon, disappearing in the blink of an eye into the Sword Lake Mountain Range.

Longhe Governor’s face flushed with anger as he stared at his severed arm on the ground, unable to contain his rage.

At this moment, other Governor’s Guards arrived at the Sword Lake in succession, gathering around the Longhe Governor.

"Pay respects to the Governor!"

Seeing the ground full of corpses and the Governor in such a state, these guards felt somewhat fearful.

The Longhe Governor looked in shock towards the direction where Lin Bai had disappeared, "That earlier sword was definitely a sword skill from within Sword Lake, but aren’t the sword cultivators of Sword Lake only supposed to know the three divine powers within the Sword Scripture?"

"I’ve experienced Sword Lake’s three divine techniques multiple times: Tearless Jianghu, Boundless Fallen Leaves, and Great River Eastward. None have such tremendous power."

"Could it be that this sword is another technique from the Sword Scripture?"

The Longhe Governor exclaimed in surprise, "This person has cultivated other techniques from the Sword Scripture!"

"If I could acquire these sword techniques, I could one day make my name known before the Holy Kingdom, dividing lands and being enfeoffed as a marquis!"

"This will be a great opportunity for my advancement!"

"Even a chance for me to leave this realm!"

"I must capture this person!"

"There’s no way I can let him escape Longhe County!"

The Longhe Governor gritted his teeth as he growled, then immediately turned to the guards around him and said, "Send out the order at once, use all the spies in Longhe County to locate this person. Whoever captures him and brings him to me will be rewarded with a thousand spirit crystals, ten thousand beauties, a set of Emperor-level cultivation skills, and if they wish to be an official, they may join the Governor’s Mansion as a Governor Guard Colonel!"

The Governor’s Guards’ eyes were filled with fervor upon hearing the Longhe Governor’s words.

What a heavenly reward the Governor is offering this time!

...

"Was that sword technique earlier from the Sword Scripture?" Su Jin exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, the Sword Scripture contains twelve sword skill divine powers in total, and the one just used was the tenth. To use this divine power, one must at least have the cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Wending Realm," Lin Bai said while glancing down at his cracked and bleeding body, his heart filled with terror.

Lin Bai also didn’t expect that after performing this sword stroke, his body couldn’t withstand the overwhelming sword aura, being torn apart, and it thoroughly drained his spiritual power.

"Luckily, I’d cultivated the Unbeatable Sword Skill to the Fourth Floor. Otherwise, with just my First Floor Wending Realm cultivation, if I’d used that sword... I might have been countered by it and died before even striking," Lin Bai spoke with lingering fear.

"Both you and I are gravely injured, let’s find a safe place to heal first."

Lin Bai said in a low voice.

Su Jin took a deep breath and said, "Let’s head to Thousand Leaves City! I have an old friend whose family is there, they might be able to shelter us for a while."

Lin Bai asked, "Can they be trusted? I’ve just severed an arm from the Longhe Governor. If they’re untrustworthy, going there would be like walking into the tiger’s den."

Su Jin replied, "They should be trustworthy!"

Lin Bai asked, "Alright, which direction is it?"

Su Jin gave directions to Lin Bai, who sped away.

After a journey of a few days, they finally arrived in Thousand Leaves City, directed by Su Jin.

Thousand Leaves City is a large city within Longhe County, with numerous family influences. Among them, the most powerful are the Zhang family and the Zhao family!

Su Jin’s mentioned old friend is the current Patriarch of the Zhang family, named Zhangtian Ye!

Lin Bai and Su Jin, dragging their severely injured bodies, arrived outside the Zhang family mansion in Thousand Leaves City.

It was noon, and people were coming and going at the entrance of the Zhang family mansion.

Su Jin, pale-faced, said, "Given our current identities, we shouldn’t draw too much attention. Let’s discreetly leave."

Lin Bai nodded silently, his face equally pale. Although his injuries had recovered somewhat, they hadn’t reached their peak.

Originally, Lin Bai planned to sneak into the Zhang family with Su Jin to find Zhangtian Ye.

But at this moment, a few young men and women approached, seeing Lin Bai and Su Jin both wearing cloaks, hiding their faces, they immediately shouted, "Stop! Who are you, lurking around the Zhang family mansion, hiding your heads and tails?"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Bai’s expression turned murderous.

Su Jin held onto Lin Bai’s hand, slightly tilting his head to look at the youths, and then a smile broke out, "Zhengqing..."

Su Jin softly called out.

Among the group of young men and women, the leader, a man whose cultivation had reached the Death Reversal Realm, after hearing the voice, his expression changed, and he whispered, "Is it..."

Before he finished speaking, he told his companions, "I have some matters to attend to today, I won’t be joining you for drinks, you go on without me."

"Alright, alright, Zhengqing, come find us when you’re done."

"We’ll go ahead then."

The group of young men and women sensibly left.

Then, Zhang Zhengqing approached, standing before Su Jin, and whispered, "Uncle Su Jin, is it really you?"

Su Jin removed his cloak, revealing a pale, bloodless, weakened face, and smiled, "Zhengqing, long time no see!"

"It’s really you, Uncle Su Jin!" Zhang Zhengqing exclaimed in joy, "This isn’t the place to talk, let’s go inside!"

"Uncle Su Jin, I can’t take you through the front door, too many people and prying eyes..."

Su Jin nodded slightly, "Take me to see your father."

Zhang Zhengqing nodded, "Alright!"

Immediately, Zhang Zhengqing helped Su Jin inside, with Lin Bai following behind, entering the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhengqing placed Lin Bai and Su Jin in a secluded part of the Zhang family courtyard before leaving, saying he would inform his father.

After days of rushing, Lin Bai and Su Jin finally got to sit down and stay for a while!

Not long after, Zhang Zhengqing returned with a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious purple robe, who hurried to Su Jin’s side, exclaiming in surprise, "Brother Su Jin, it really is you, you’re actually alive!"

Su Jin smiled bitterly, "Though alive, it’s almost just like being dead."
