The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

A cold sword light flashed across Shen Shou's neck...

Shen Shou's head uncontrollably flew into the air, accompanied by spurting blood.

Even as the head landed, Shen Shou's face retained an expression of terror.

A strong one ranked eighty-eighth on the Life-and-Death Ranking, thus perished at the hands of Lin Bai.

At this moment, Zhou Shaoyu, who was crushed amid the white bones, crawled out. Just as he emerged, the first thing he saw was Lin Bai's slaughter of Shen Shou: "How is this possible? You, a mere warrior of the eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm, how could you possibly kill a strong one on the Life-and-Death Ranking!"

Zhou Shaoyu exclaimed in disbelief.

After killing Shen Shou, Lin Bai looked coldly at Zhou Shaoyu, his figure flickered, transforming into a waning shadow, rushing straight toward Zhou Shaoyu.

Zhou Shaoyu hastily reacted, scowling as he shouted: "Do you think I'm as easy to kill as the soft target Shen Shou? Do you want to kill me too?"

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded, and the power of Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm erupted from Zhou Shaoyu's body, gathering with overwhelming force. Zhou Shaoyu's face was ferocious as he struck with a palm toward Lin Bai.

With a thunderous crash, after the two of them clashed, both were forced back.

Their collision resulted in a draw!

Zhou Shaoyu was shaken back a thousand meters, and he coldly looked up at Lin Bai, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "How can this kid be so strange, his mere eighth level of the Life-and-Death Realm strength is actually able to contend equally with me!"

Meanwhile, Lin Bai, also a thousand meters away, remained expressionless, but thought to himself: "This person's cultivation is extremely strong, but he is definitely not a Quasi Holy Son, he should be a warrior from the top of the Life-and-Death Ranking!"

"Is he a warrior from the top ten of the Life-and-Death Ranking?"

Lin Bai speculated in his heart.

Previously, Lan Yuxin had detailed the Life-and-Death Ranking to Lin Bai!

The Life-and-Death Ranking has a total of one hundred warriors, each one an extremely strong presence within the Life-and-Death Realm.

Only those who enter the top ten of the Life-and-Death Ranking have the qualifications to vie for the Quasi Holy Son!

If Dongzhou Academy believes that a certain warrior within the top ten of the Life-and-Death Ranking has surpassed the ranking by far in strength, he would be promoted to Quasi Holy Son.

Therefore, the strength of a Quasi Holy Son far exceeds that of any warrior on the Life-and-Death Ranking, only warriors within the top ten can battle with a Quasi Holy Son!

And since Zhou Shaoyu still remains on the Life-and-Death Ranking, it shows that his cultivation is not sufficient to become a Quasi Holy Son!

"After I used the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, I was already able to compete equally with the front ten warriors of the Life-and-Death Ranking, if I want to kill him... it's not difficult!" At this moment, Lin Bai's eyes flashed, and the sword aura spread forward.

Lin Bai, like a sharp sword out of its sheath, charged toward Zhou Shaoyu!

Zhou Shaoyu's face hardened, he likewise used martial techniques, and fiercely fought Lin Bai.

As the two engaged, in the blink of an eye, they exchanged so many moves!

"Overturning River!" At this moment, Lin Bai's sword skill suddenly changed, the fifth move of the Zhanlong Sword Skill erupted, as if the heavens reversed and the stars flowed backward, bursting out violently.

Bang!

A sword rainbow struck Zhou Shaoyu's chest.

Zhou Shaoyu was sent flying, spitting blood, his face pale, his expression unimaginably shocked.

"So strong!" Zhou Shaoyu said with some dread, and at that moment, after landing, without any hesitation, he turned around and fled straight into the distance, disappearing among the white bones!

"Boy, don't be smug, I will come back for revenge!"

Lin Bai quickly took a step forward, trying to catch up with Zhou Shaoyu.

But now Zhou Shaoyu had already vanished within Bone Mountain.

"The peculiar terrain of this Bone Mountain is really unsuitable for pursuit!" Lin Bai shook his head, having failed to catch up with Zhou Shaoyu, he spoke gloomily.

The terrain within Bone Mountain is so unique, everywhere looks the same, making it difficult to lock onto a direction.

It was also for this reason that Lin Bai was previously able to escape from Sheng Huayang.

Shen Shou was able to escape from Wudao.

Zhou Shaoyu was also able to escape from Lin Bai!

Having not slain Zhou Shaoyu, Lin Bai returned to the Indestructible Soul Palace!

Returning to the entrance of the Indestructible Soul Palace, Lin Bai saw the surrounding black smoke becoming thinner and said: "The black smoke here has almost been drained by me, it will soon disperse!"

"Now there's only a hundred strands of black smoke left, it's no longer possible for me to comprehend the sixth move!"

Lin Bai sat cross-legged and, after absorbing the remaining black smoke, walked out of the cave.

And here, the black bones had turned white, all of the black smoke absorbed by Lin Bai.

"This Indestructible Soul Palace has been completely absorbed by me, so let's see if there are other Indestructible Soul Palaces or other spiritual objects on Bone Mountain..." Lin Bai's figure flickered, heading forward.

As Lin Bai searched for other opportunities within Bone Mountain.

At this moment within Dongzhou Academy.

In the palace of the Order Divine Court of Dongzhou Academy.

In the darkness, nine beams of light fell on nine shadows, motionless, as if they were eternal in this darkness!

These nine people sat cross-legged in mid-air, their heads lowered, looking at the scene below them.

Below them, there was a white halo, within which scenes emerged one after another.

If Lin Bai were here, he would surely be surprised, because the scenes within the halo were precisely depictions of the Divine Demon Secret Realm!

And these nine shadows were the Nine Elders of the Order Divine Court of Dongzhou Academy!

Among these Nine Elders, there was one person whom Lin Bai recognized, and that was Lan Ling!

Lan Ling, as the leader of the Lan Clan, one of the strong ones within Dongzhou Academy, naturally has the qualification to become an Elder of the Order Divine Court!

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

At this moment, a dignified voice spoke in the Dark Hall.

The nine raised their heads, looking at the speaker, a goatee-bearded old man clad in a cyan robe, who appeared like a Taoist.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." The goatee-bearded old man spoke: "We have been monitoring the Divine Demon Secret Realm here for more than two months now, yet we still haven't discovered any warrior appearing like a Demon Sect disciple..."

"We cannot wait any longer!"

The goatee-bearded old man spoke grimly.

The other eight, upon hearing this, remained silent.

Including Lan Ling, who simply chuckled.

The goatee-bearded old man said coldly: "I propose... we let the Demon Sect Martial Arts Hall rise from the Blood Sea and command all warriors to search the sea for the Demon Sect Martial Arts Hall!"

Once the goatee-bearded old man finished speaking, another elder spoke sullenly: "What is the purpose of doing this?"

The goatee-bearded old man said: "The Demon Sect Martial Arts Hall has a Magic Circle set by Lord Yuan Mo back then, apart from warriors with a Demon Sect Disciple Badge entering without a problem, any other warrior daring to intrude would face Nine Deaths One Life!"

"At that time, we can determine who is the final Demon Sect disciple!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

The goatee-bearded old man asked.

"I propose we agree!" Instantly, an elder agreed!

"I agree too!"

"I do as well!"

Immediately, eight of the Nine Elders agreed.

Lan Ling simply gave a smile without commenting further.

The goatee-bearded old man said coldly, "Let us proceed with bringing forth the Demon Sect Martial Arts Hall from the Blood Sea, and issue the order to all warriors to search for the Dragon Sword. The one with sufficient strength and bearing shall emerge victorious!"

Lan Ling said with a smile, "Since you all agree, does my vote really matter?"

"Even if it doesn't matter, I agree as well, I am also curious to see who the last Demon Sect disciple really is!"

Lan Ling said with a light laugh.

The goatee-bearded old man concluded: "Very well, we shall proceed as everyone has agreed."
