The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2848 - 2823: The Eve of the Final Battle! (5 Updates)

Mu Mountain, located 100,000 miles north of Mirror Lake, the Sword God Family’s territory, was originally a place where the Sword God Family raised spirit beasts; hence it became known as Mu Mountain.Walking into Mu Mountain, one could occasionally see some birds and beasts, none weak in cultivation, yet none reaching above the Divine Elixir Realm.

Lin Bai, with Lin Ye, stepped into Mu Mountain one step at a time, found a relatively high hill, sat down, and waited for the arrival of Yejian Jun.

As Lin Bai sat down, he noticed that outside Mu Mountain, warriors from all directions had gathered, most of them from the Sword God Family.

They all wanted to witness this battle.

And there were other warriors from certain stronger forces on the Northern Continent, like the Fighting Arena and the Lounan royal family.

These North State forces, with their heaven-reaching influence, naturally could learn from inside the Sword God Family about Lin Bai ascending the Sword God Path and about his upcoming duel with Yejian Jun!

Lin Bai sat on the high mountain, looking at the warriors gathered outside Mu Mountain, but ignored them.

Sitting down, he took out a jug, poured himself a drink, and drank alone.

Outside Mu Mountain, on a large tree, Dugu Hao came flying, appearing beside a young boy, and said with a smile: "You really picked a good spot!"

"Standing on this tree, you can see every part of Mu Mountain!"

"Not bad, not bad!"

Dugu Hao said with a smile.

The young boy turned and said, "Why are you here?"

Dugu Hao smiled, "If you can come, why can’t I? Besides, the Saint of the East Continent is having a death duel with the Sword God Family’s Sword Child, how could I miss it?"

The young boy smiled and said nothing.

This young boy was none other than Dugu Yitian.

When Lin Bai bid farewell to the Ed Clan, it was Dugu Yitian who saw him off at Mirror Lake.

But Lin Bai didn’t know that after sending him off at Mirror Lake, Dugu Yitian didn’t immediately return to the Sword God Family, but followed him all the way to Mu Mountain, found a good spot, and waited for the duel to begin!

Dugu Hao said, "But speaking of, the last time I saw Yejian Jun take action was before he left the family for training, right?"

"Since he returned to the family, he has been in seclusion, as if greatly stimulated, going mad!"

"This time, it should be the first time he’s taking action since returning to the family!"

Dugu Yitian nodded slightly, "Indeed, but Yejian Jun’s strength is indeed very strong, especially since he returned to the family and unlocked his Martial Soul seal!"

"On Sword God Mountain, he was able to reach the 920th step of the staircase, proving his power is incredibly terrifying!"

Dugu Hao asked, "Then what do you think, if you were to battle Yejian Jun, what are your chances of winning?"

Dugu Yitian thought expressionlessly for a moment and said, "If I were to fight Yejian Jun, it’s sixty-forty, I four, he six!"

Dugu Hao nodded in sudden realization, completely agreeing with Dugu Yitian’s estimation.

But what Dugu Yitian said next startled Dugu Hao out of his wits. He said, "But if I were to battle Lin Bai, it would probably be ninety-one, he nine, I one!"

Hearing this, Dugu Hao widened his eyes and exclaimed, "If you battle Lin Bai, do you have so little confidence? This is unlike you, Yitian!"

Dugu Yitian shook his head and said, "You don’t understand, when Yejian Jun stands in front of me, at least I can see through him, maybe not entirely, but I can see through half of him!"

"But Lin Bai is different!"

Dugu Hao asked curiously, "How is he different?"

Dugu Yitian said, "When he stands in front of me, I feel like he’s a bottomless pool of water, no matter how many rays of light shine upon it, they cannot pierce the darkness beneath, cannot see its bottom!"

When he said this, Dugu Yitian looked out at Lin Bai sitting on the mountain top, seeing him sitting there, drinking alone.

This feeling was as if he were sitting alone at the summit of the clouds, too high to bear the cold.

"Do you remember the death of those eighteen Tianjiao in the Flying Dragon Forest?" Dugu Yitian asked.

Dugu Hao nodded, "I remember, back then the Ye Clan suspected you suppressed them, and Ye Nuo even led most of the strongest from the Ye Clan to confront the Ed Clan for a whole day!"

Dugu Yitian said, "The Ye Clan thought I did it, but now it seems I may have found the warrior who killed those eighteen people!"

Dugu Hao asked, "Who?"

Dugu Yitian looked at Lin Bai and said, "It’s him!"

Dugu Hao exclaimed, "You’re saying Lin Bai killed the eighteen Tianjiao in the Flying Dragon Forest?"

"In the Sword God Family, not many can instantly kill eighteen Tianjiao with one sword, if it weren’t for an Elder taking action, in the younger generation, only I, Yejian Jun, and Ye Canhen could do it!"

"Yejian Jun was in seclusion at that time!"

"Ye Canhen would never act against warriors valued by the Ye Clan!"

"And I know I didn’t do it!"

"So, tell me, who else in the Sword God Family at that time had such capability?"

Dugu Yitian asked, looking at Dugu Hao.

Dugu Hao seriously considered, suddenly realizing, "Yes, eighteen Tianjiao, all killed in one strike, their strength wasn’t weak, yet they had no power to fight back!"

"If it weren’t the three of you, then only Lin Bai could have done it!"

"Indeed, it was him!"

Dugu Hao looked at Lin Bai in shock.

Dugu Yitian said, "I’m afraid what we see of Lin Bai’s strength now is just the tip of the iceberg. Let’s see, not sure how far Yejian Jun can push Lin Bai today!"

"We don’t even know if Yejian Jun can force Lin Bai to show his full abilities!"

Dugu Yitian’s eyes gleamed, speaking with some anticipation.

...

To the east of Mu Mountain, rows of neatly lined soldiers surrounded a luxuriously adorned spirit boat hovering in mid-air.

On the deck of the spirit boat, a royal man sat on the dragon throne, looking at Lin Bai on the mountain top, and said in a low voice, "So he is Lin Bai?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it’s said... the Fifth Prince died at his hands in Sky Sword City!" a eunuch-voiced, pale-faced old man softly said beside the royal-robed man.

This royal-robed man was none other than the current Emperor of the Lounan Dynasty.

The Emperor of Lounan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze hinting at a touch of coldness.

The eunuch beside him hastily said, "Your Majesty, please don’t get angry, this person has an extraordinary background, the East Continent Academy is not an enemy we can afford to make!"

The Emperor of Lounan said, "Just hope Yejian Jun can try harder today and kill him, it wouldn’t be a waste of my hasty journey to Mu Mountain these past few days!"
