The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2829 - 2804: A Bout or Two?

In Dugu Bai’s Cave Mansion, Lin Bai sat angrily on the ground, furiously growling, "Dugu Yitian said before, Dugu Bai was born for battle, clinging to it as his life!""Now I actually want to have a fight with you, and I’m not interested in searching for any mysteries here."

Lin Bai said with a helpless smile.

However, as soon as Lin Bai’s voice fell, a sudden tremor erupted within the Cave Mansion, and a mysterious force brushed past Lin Bai, seemingly enveloping the entire inside of the Cave Mansion.

Within this mysterious force, countless dust gathered, and in the center of this enormous Stone Chamber, it formed the shape of a Mud Figure, holding a Sharp Sword with a body radiating a murderous aura.

Although the features of this Mud Figure couldn’t be clearly seen, Lin Bai immediately felt a surge of fierce energy from the face of this figure as soon as it appeared.

"Old man always knew you little guys wouldn’t submit to me. Well, today I’ll make you all submit through force!" After the Mud Figure appeared, it pointed the Mud Sword at Lin Bai and said arrogantly.

"This is..." Lin Bai exclaimed in surprise, looking at the suddenly appearing Mud Figure before him with a startled expression.

Lin Bai hurriedly stood up from the ground, glanced around, and noticed that this mysterious force seemed to have isolated the Cave Mansion from the outside world, creating two separate realms.

Furthermore, when Lin Bai turned around, he saw the figures of Dugu Yitian and Dugu Hao appear outside the Cave Mansion, though they seemed unable to enter within.

"Come on, kid, weren’t you just itching to spar with me?"

"I’ll spar with you!"

The Mud Figure pointed at Lin Bai and said arrogantly.

Lin Bai stood in the center, completely bewildered, but at this moment, as he looked at the Mud Figure, he silently pondered in his heart, "Is it because I just challenged Dugu Bai that this Mud Figure, formed from Dugu Bai’s Sword Intention, appeared inside the Cave Mansion?"

Lin Bai looked at the Mud Figure and said, "I’m not here to fight; I’m here to seek opportunity."

The Mud Figure replied coldly, "Hmm, if you want to cultivate my ’Unbeatable Sword Skill,’ you’ll first need to spar with me a bit!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his face as he said, "So if I just spar with you a bit, I’ll be able to gain your sword technique training, right?"

The Mud Figure said, "Of course."

Lin Bai pulled out the Demonic Sword from his Storage Bag and said with a smile, "Then please enlighten me!"

The Mud Figure twisted its stiff body, and even though its features were unclear, Lin Bai seemed to feel it sneering at him, filled with disdain.

"Watch the sword!"

In an instant, the Mud Figure rushed forward, covering a hundred meters in one step, appearing before Lin Bai, its Mud Sword slicing horizontally towards Lin Bai’s body with the ferocity of a heavenly blade.

Before the sword edge arrived, a powerful Sword Qi already appeared at Lin Bai’s throat.

"Dragon Slayer!"

Lin Bai’s figure flickered as he retreated rapidly, simultaneously striking with Sword Qi, intercepting the Mud Figure’s Sword Qi, causing a tremendous vibration as the Sword Qi collided mid-air.

The Sword Qi dissipated.

Yet at the same time, the Mud Figure’s sword edge was already pressing on Lin Bai’s throat.

In that instant, Lin Bai’s mind moved, wisps of mist gathered in front of him, forming a shield of fog white in color, attempting to block the sword.

"Dugu Yunhe’s Mist Sword Art?"

"Hmm, even if Dugu Yunhe were here, I’d still make him crawl on the ground looking for teeth. You fancy using this Mist Sword Art to counter me, utterly laughable!"

"Break!"

The Mud Figure laughed arrogantly, its sword piercing through, penetrating the fog shield, the Mud Sword nearing within three inches of Lin Bai’s throat, its cold glow permeating Lin Bai’s entire body, turning him ice cold.

"Heaven-Measuring Ruler!"

"Mountain-splitting Skill!"

"Flying Swords! Tai Chi Dual Elemental Sword Array!"

"Three-Colored Divine Thunder, Divine Thunder body protection!"

In an instant, Lin Bai deployed all his techniques.

The Heaven-Measuring Ruler appeared in his hand, slashing forward.

Simultaneously, two Flying Swords emerged from his body, the Sword Shadows piercing left and right towards the Mud Figure.

And the Three-Colored Divine Thunder emerged outside his body, protecting Lin Bai.

Boom——

Boom——

The Cave Mansion was filled with earth-shaking sounds.

The Mud Figure’s sword strike directly hit the Heaven-Measuring Ruler, a mighty shock ran through Lin Bai’s hands, which were covered in blood, and the Heaven-Measuring Ruler momentarily flew out of his grasp.

While the two Flying Swords were struck away by the Mud Figure, embedding into the distant ground.

The Three-Colored Divine Thunder outside was shattered by the Mud Figure’s sword, crumbling apart.

The Mud Figure’s sword broke through Lin Bai’s layered defenses, and hit Lin Bai directly.

Pftsh!

Lin Bai spat a mouthful of blood, being sent tumbling over a hundred meters, struggling to rise as he cast apprehensive glances towards the Mud Figure, "Is this Dugu Bai’s strength?"

"This strength, even as a Mud Figure formed from his Sword Intention, is already so formidable?"

"If Dugu Bai were still alive, wouldn’t he be a Divine Spirit on the Barbaric Ancient Continent!"

Lin Bai was shocked.

He recalibrated his estimation on the power possessed by this former Strong One who once suppressed the Five Continents, realizing their profound capabilities!

"No way! If overcoming him head-on is impossible, then today’s victory seems reliant on finding another route!" Lin Bai pondered briefly, continuously contemplating a strategy!

After a while, Lin Bai stood up, looking at the Mud Figure, "There’s still one more move!"

The Mud Figure was startled, cursing, "Kid, did my sword injure you? Why do you start spouting nonsense? What’s this about one more move?"

Lin Bai wiped away the blood from his mouth, chuckled lightly, "Senior Dugu Bai, did you forget what you said earlier? You mentioned, if one wishes to attain your sword technique legacy, they must spar with you two moves!"

"We’ve already exchanged one move just now!"

"Now there’s one more move!"

"Isn’t that right?"

The Mud Figure, upon hearing this, seemed dumbfounded, stared at Lin Bai with an obscured face, and after a while said, "You sly little rascal, daring to deceive me!"

Even though the Mud Figure’s features remained unclear, Lin Bai still felt that as it said these words, it was gritting its teeth!

Lin Bai smiled coyly, "I wouldn’t dare... I’m merely following the senior’s words, senior said two moves, so the junior accompanies for two moves, isn’t that correct?"

"Sharp teeth and fangs! Fine, two moves it is, we’ve already done one move, but this second move, I’ll surely defeat you!" The Mud Figure roared arrogantly, its Sword Intention soaring into the sky.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately realized the Mud Figure had fallen for it, inwardly smiling as he thought, "Now it’s well-handled, next I’ll have to strategize to withstand his second move fully!"

"Once I’ve endured it, this battle can be said to have slipped through successfully!"

"The Mud Figure’s strength is too great, if I wanted to defeat him head-on, it would almost be impossible!"

Lin Bai murmured to himself while shaking his head.

"You little rascal, watch closely, here’s my second sword!" The Mud Figure glared at Lin Bai, an aura of Sword Intention enshrouding him, while simultaneously, a seven-colored Glow emerged from his body!

Upon seeing this Glow, Lin Bai’s expression turned horrified as he said, "This is... Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"
