The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Lin Bai stood on the tree branch ten miles away, watching Xuan Qing lead Zhang Lingkong and the others back to Nanxi City, his gaze falling on Uncle Yuan and Chi Wei who had not yet left.

These two, Uncle Yuan is a demon clan of the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm.

While Chi Wei's cultivation is weaker, only at the fourth level of the Life-and-Death Realm, but he excels in earth escape and is covered in sharp spikes, making him extraordinary.

Turning around, Lin Bai disappeared into the forest in an instant.

As he sped along, Lin Bai's eyes were firm, his mood somber, and he said quietly to himself, "The words I heard just now must have been Captain Chen Hu risking his life to say them, to pass on this message to me..."

"Litian Ying and Kong Qi have betrayed, joining the demon clan, telling the Alliance Army not to attack Nanxi City lightly!"

"I need to get this message back to Tide City!"

Lin Bai turned and dashed out of the forest.

"Trying to escape?"

Just as Lin Bai was speeding through the forest, suddenly a cold laugh came from beside his ear.

Hearing this laugh, Lin Bai's scalp tingled immediately, all his hairs stood on end, and looking back, Uncle Yuan's aged face was already behind him, his speed astonishing, catching up to Lin Bai in just a few breaths!

"Little brat, prepare to die."

Uncle Yuan sneered coldly, striking with his palm directly towards Lin Bai's back.

His palm seemed to carry monstrous force, enough to shatter mountains, its power boundless.

Lin Bai's expression changed drastically, and the demonic sword flew out of the storage bag, countering with a sword strike, the sharp sword aura hitting Uncle Yuan's palm print, producing a thunderous sound between the two.

With a bang.

After the clash, Lin Bai's body flew back like a kite with a broken string, falling miserably a hundred meters away, snapping several large trees in half and spewing blood from his mouth, his face turning pale.

"Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm!"

In an instant, Lin Bai sensed the old man's cultivation power, his expression changing dramatically.

The moment he climbed up from the ground, Lin Bai didn't hesitate at all, immediately mustering all his strength to increase his speed, rushing out of the forest.

This demon was at the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm, if Lin Bai got entangled with him, he'd undoubtedly end up dead!

"Hmph." Uncle Yuan snorted coldly, his figure flashing as he caught up with Lin Bai again, chuckling coldly as streaks of power shot from his hands like divine light towards Lin Bai's back.

"Get lost!"

"Seeking Dragon!"

Lin Bai gritted his teeth, face twisted with ferocity, knowing clearly this was not the time to hold back; if he didn't shake off the old man quickly, he might really die by his hands.

Without another word, Lin Bai unleashed his strongest sword skill.

The fourth style of the Zhanlong Sword Skill, roaring to unfold.

A sword swept across, shattering all of Uncle Yuan's divine light into pieces.

At the same time, the sword still targeted Uncle Yuan.

"Not good!"

Uncle Yuan hastily retreated, his expression changing in shock, surging demonic qi forming a massive shield before him, which Lin Bai's sword struck and shattered instantly.

Uncle Yuan walked out with a dark expression, raising his head to see that Lin Bai's figure was nowhere to be seen in the forest ahead.

"What a sly little thing."

Uncle Yuan chuckled coldly.

At this moment, Chi Wei approached Uncle Yuan, seeing him standing silently in the forest, he asked with a puzzled look, "Uncle Yuan? Where's that kid? Did he get away?"

"No way, Uncle Yuan, even you, a warrior of the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm, couldn't catch him?"

Chi Wei said with some astonishment.

Uncle Yuan glared at Chi Wei irritably, sneered, "Escape? Do you think he can escape?"

After speaking, Uncle Yuan stomped his foot, planting it heavily on the ground, forming a rune with his hands as endless demonic qi rolled in.

Then, Uncle Yuan shouted in a low voice, "Demonic Art! Evil Ghost Forest!"

Uncle Yuan pinched the rune with two fingers and struck it fiercely onto the ground.

Rumble——

The earth immediately trembled.

After completing all this, Uncle Yuan walked forward.

Chi Wei looked at Uncle Yuan with a bewildered face, asking, "Uncle Yuan, what are you doing?"

Uncle Yuan sneered, "No one can escape from my Evil Ghost Forest. Let's go, we just need to walk slowly and find the Evil Ghost Forest, then we can collect that kid's corpse."

Uncle Yuan's face was filled with confidence.

This demonic art of the Evil Ghost Forest was Uncle Yuan's ultimate technique, with which he had slain many warriors of the same realm.

Chi Wei followed Uncle Yuan closely, searching for the location of the Evil Ghost Forest!

At this time, Lin Bai was speeding through the forest, wanting to break through the forest and return to Tide City.

But at this moment, suddenly around Lin Bai, one tree after another sprang up from the ground, each tree bereft of leaves, the trunks pitch-black, exuding a sinister and horrifying aura!

Whoosh—

After these black trees appeared, a chilly wind blew through the forest.

Suddenly, from these trees, black mist flew forth, with tormented human faces within, rushing directly towards Lin Bai.

In an instant, the place was engulfed in a skyful of black mist, extremely eye-catching.

These evil ghosts in the mist also completely intercepted Lin Bai!

"Slice!"

Lin Bai immediately swung the demonic sword, slashing out powerful sword aura to tear apart the attacking ghost shadows.

"Three Feet Qingfeng!"

Lin Bai grunted through gritted teeth, a sword qi slashing out to annihilate the ghost shadows under his sword.

Tangled with these ghost shadows, Lin Bai was caught in a dilemma.

"These ghost shadows seem to be a formation..." Lin Bai's eyes flashed, a surge of black radiance rose within him, converging on the demonic sword as Lin Bai slashed forward with all his might!

"Martial Soul Secret Skill! Breaking Prohibition!"

The black sword light, like a heavenly blade, swept across in all directions, hitting all around the black trees.

With a boom, the trees shattered instantly, and the ghost shadows besieging Lin Bai dissipated into the air.

Without the obstruction of ghost shadows, Lin Bai took a step forward, intending to break out of the forest.

However, as Lin Bai took just a few steps, his expression changed, his pupils turning fierce, "No, if I continue out of the forest, with the strength of that demon clan powerhouse of Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm, I will eventually be caught!"

"Moreover, if Litian Ying and Kong Qi have betrayed, the demon clan hunting me will know I'm from Tide City. Even if they can't find my tracks now, they'll surely find me if they head towards Tide City..."

"If I'm caught again by that demon clan powerhouse of Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm, I fear there will be no chance to escape again..."

"I can't head towards Tide City..."

"Then there's only one option..."

At this thought, Lin Bai looked back in the direction of Nanxi City.

Immediately, Lin Bai's figure flashed, heading in the other direction, abandoning the escape from the forest, instead rushing towards Nanxi City.

"Now, merely fleeing won't help me escape the grasp of that demon clan powerhouse of Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm!"

"Now, I can only survive by facing death! Head towards Nanxi City!"

Lin Bai's face was resolute, with a hint of madness!
