The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Inside the Demon Slaying Alliance Canyon.

Just as Zhao Rong instructed before leaving, Qin Xiangtian had set up the canyon as if it were undisturbed, waiting for Lin Bai to walk right into their trap.

Meanwhile, Qin Wentian and Lishu Sheng sat in the Alliance Leader's Cave Mansion, waiting.

Qin Wentian asked, "Lishu Sheng, is everything set up?"

"Rest assured, Alliance Leader, everything is well arranged. Even if Lin Bai sprouts wings and tries to fly away, I assure you, he won't escape!" Lishu Sheng replied confidently, grinning.

"His sword skills are not to be underestimated," remarked Qin Wentian.

"Worry not, Alliance Leader, I have arranged for archers to hide on the cliffsides. Once Lin Bai enters, they'll unleash a deadly shower of arrows," reassured Lishu Sheng.

"Not only that, even if Lin Bai somehow manages to dodge the barrage of arrows with his extraordinary agility, five hall masters from the Qingtian Alliance - Hall Master Li, Hall Master Zhang, Hall Master Zhao, Hall Master Qian, Hall Master Sun, along with over a hundred men, are lying in ambush within the Demon Slaying Alliance Canyon."

"Additionally, with you holding fort here, and my martial arts skills tantamount to that of the Martial Arts Eighth Level, we have a truly foolproof plan."

"With such an intricate trap, even if Lin Bai were a divine being descended from heaven, he won't escape death!"

Lishu Sheng laid out his entire plan for Qin Xiangtian.

After listening, Qin Xiangtian, satisfied, nodded and said, "Very well, I will credit you once Lin Bai is killed."

"Serving the Qingtian Alliance is my duty. There's no need for rewards," Lishu Sheng said with a cryptic smile.

Thud——

Right then.

As Qin Xiangtian and Lishu Sheng sat in the Cave Mansion, commending their foolproof plan, a severed head was thrown into the Cave Mansion.

"Lishu Sheng, check whose severed head this is. Does the fool not know we are resting here?" Qin Xiangtian thought this was done by one of his own warriors of the Qingtian Alliance.

"I'll check on that, Alliance Leader," said Lishu Sheng, still wearing his grin. He walked over to inspect the head.

One look at the detached head left Lishu Sheng utterly horrified.

"What happened, Lishu Sheng?" Qin Xiangtian asked.

"Al...Alliance Leader, it's Hall Master Li's head!" Lishu Sheng exclaimed in shock.

Qin Xiangtian came over to verify and confirmed that it was indeed Hall Master Li from the Qingtian Alliance, "Wasn't he tucked away in hiding by you? How was he killed?"

"I have no idea," an utterly confused Lishu Sheng replied.

Thud!

At this moment, a second severed head was tossed into the Cave Mansion.

Lishu Sheng checked this one as well. "It's Hall Master Zhang!"

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

A series of thudding sounds followed as several blood-stained heads were tossed into the Cave Mansion.

Some had just been severed, their eyes were still moving.

"Hall Master Zhao, Hall Master Qian, Hall Master Sun, Hall Master Chen, Hall Master Zhuge. How did they get killed!" exclaimed a horrified Lishu Sheng.

Upon seeing all his hall masters' severed heads being tossed one after the other into his Cave Mansion, Qin Xiangtian, enraged, said, "Let's go see for ourselves who dares kill the warriors of the Qingtian Alliance."

Lishu Sheng and Qin Xiangtian headed out of the Cave Mansion together.

"Heh, if you didn't come out now, I would have run out of heads to toss." Lin Bai was standing on the plaza outside the Cave Mansion, a blood-thirsty smile playing on his lips.

"Lin Bai!" roared Qin Xiangtian, furious at the sight of Lin Bai. "Lishu Sheng, have the archers shoot him!"

"Yes, Alliance Leader!" Lishu Sheng began to give the order at once.

"Stop right there. While you all were chit-chatting about your grand strategies, I took the liberty to kill all the archers you had arranged. Additionally, I found a bit of extra time to kill the warriors you had positioned within the canyon as well." Lin Bai said cheerfully.

"What!" Qin Xiangtian bulged his eyes, finding it hard to believe what he just heard.

"Impossible, how advanced is your cultivation level? We had more than fifty archers and each of them was at the Martial Arts Sixth Level. How can you manage to kill them all so easily!" Lishu Sheng firmly denied the possibility of this being true.

"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." Lin Bai lightly chuckled.

Lishu Sheng and Qin Xiangtian stepped out of the Cave Mansion and looked up at the cliffs on both sides of the canyon.

The corpses of the Qingtian Alliance Warriors were hanging off the cliff edges, their blood flowing down the ravine, creating a terrifying scene.

In the midst of the canyon, the Hall Masters, who were cleverly hidden by Lishu Sheng, were all sprawled across the ground, their blood gushing from their bodies.

Bodies were scattered around and blood flowed like a river.

And there Lin Bai stood among all this gore, dressed in white robes, holding a longsword, and grinning coldly at Qin Xiangtian and Lishu Sheng.

"You damn bastard, you dare to kill the warriors of our Qingtian Alliance. I will avenge them today!" Qin Xiangtian was completely enraged, his martial aura flared up, and the atmosphere of a Great Perfection Martial Realm instantly stunned everyone around.

"Without True Martial Realm, there is no fight." When Qin Xiangtian showed off his cultivation, Lin Bai internally chuckled.

If Qin Xiangtian possessed True Martial Realm power, Lin Bai might have faced some difficulties dealing with him.

However, if it was just Great Perfection in the Martial Realm, he assumed it would be easier for him.

"Where is Tiehai Tang? Where is Tie Feng?" Lin Bai stared at Qin Xiangtian and inquired.

"You want to know where they are? I'll tell you. When you reach the Netherworld Path, slow down a bit, they will catch up with you soon." Qin Xiangtian smirked, pouncing towards Lin Bai like a hungry wolf.

While in the air, Qin Xiangtian swung out a claw.

"Ripping Sky Claw!"

Three energy streams shot out from Qin Xiangtian's hand, heading straight for Lin Bai.

"One Sword, Blood Spurt!"

Lin Bai launched an attack with his sword and asked simultaneously, "Tell me where Tiehai Tang and Tie Feng are, and I can spare your life!"

"I think you're mistaken. Your life is the one hanging in the balance now!" Qin Xiangtian laughed scornfully. To him, there's no way Lin Bai, a Martial Arts Eighth Level user, could defeat him.

"You refuse to see reason! It seems like I must beat you to the ground before you'll talk sense!" Lin Bai wielded the Soul-Slaying Sword, and an oppressive sword aura began to emanate from him.

"Greenhorn! You overvalue your strength!" Qin Xiangtian coldly sneered, continuing his charge!

"Thunder God Fist!"

Divine Thunder gathered around Qin Xiangtian's fist. A formidable punch assaulted Lin Bai, carrying with it a monstrous intensity that seemed unstoppable as if it was about to slam directly into Lin Bai.

"I've already witnessed this move, now let me show you my refined Thunder God Sword!"

Crack!

A Divine Thunder, far more robust than the Thunder God Fist, fell from the sky. Lin Bai swept out with his sword, shattering Qin Xiangtian's attack and heavily slamming the sword into his chest, sending him flying backwards.

"Is this the power of the Thunder God Fist?" Qin Xiangtian spat out a mouthful of blood, looking paler and grimly asked.

"Killing you is like slaughtering a dog!" Lin Bai stepped forward, the sword enveloped in a blood-red glow. As he thrust his sword, Lin Bai was ready to take Qin Xiangtian's life.

"Hahaha, ridiculous! You want to kill me? Today, I will show you the unbridgeable gap between the Martial Arts Eighth Level and Ninth Level!"

"Thunder God's Apocalypse!"

Qin Xiangtian's eyes were filled with ferocity. He was enveloped in thunderbolts, transforming into a thunder god.

On seeing this, Lin Bai immediately drew back his sword and retreated!
