The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2827 - 2802: Dugu Yitian

Five days later, within the Flying Dragon Forest, before Lin Bai’s wooden house.Yu Yu wore a cold smile, a sharp crimson glow enveloped his body. Gripping a sharp sword in hand, he gazed at Lin Bai, his expression icy.

"Hah!" Yu Yu shouted suddenly, taking a step forward and flying towards Lin Bai. The crimson sword aura converged at the sword’s edge, and with one slash forward, a blood-red moonlight-like sword qi shot straight at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai stood a hundred meters away from Yu Yu, facing the incoming sword qi, calm and unflinching.

In fact, Lin Bai’s hands were behind his back, not drawing the Demonic Sword.

At the instant the blood-moon-like sword qi reached Lin Bai, he smiled, a thought flickered in his mind, and with a wave of his sleeve, countless misty white sharp swords shot out.

In an instant, tens of thousands of misty white sword shadows descended from the sky, shattering Yu Yu’s blood moon sword qi and forcing Yu Yu to retreat repeatedly. Had Lin Bai not deliberately held back, Yu Yu would have died under the misty white sword qi.

"I lost." Yu Yu retreated five hundred meters, raised his head, and said with a bitter smile. He stood up, sheathed his sword, and said to Lin Bai, "Brother Lin, is this the ’Mist Sword Skill’ left behind by Senior Dugu Yunhe?"

Lin Bai nodded with a serene smile.

Standing by, Lin Chen watched and smiled, "This ’Mist Sword Skill’ is indeed as mysterious as rumored, possessing unfathomable power, ever-changing, and hard to comprehend!"

Lin Bai said calmly, "You only see the power of the Mist Sword Skill, but you don’t know how much effort it takes to cultivate it!"

"Once, someone took over seventy years to cultivate it to the Great Achievement Realm!"

"And now, I am merely scratching the surface."

Lin Chen and Yu Yu, hearing this, were shocked and said, "If you are already so powerful just scratching the surface, wouldn’t you overturn the heavens if you reached the Great Achievement Realm?"

Lin Bai chuckled, recalling the nine hundred and ninety-nine sword marks left in Dugu Yunhe’s cave, and said calmly, "Those nine hundred and ninety-nine sword marks are the culmination of all sword skills under heaven!"

"Dugu Yunhe integrated the sword skills of the world into the sword marks. By comprehending these marks, there’s no need to cultivate sword moves; a single thought brings the sword skill!"

"If one day I can cultivate the ’Mist Sword Skill’ to the Great Achievement Realm, every move would be a sword move; every thought would be sword intention!"

"This sword skill is a technique that forms a shape with a single strike!"

"Emphasizing the heart in intention first, intention in the sword first, sword in form first!"

"With a thought, endlessly changing; with a killing intention, destroying heaven and earth!"

"Indeed, it’s an excellent sword skill!"

Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

After returning from Sword God Mountain, Lin Bai spent two days stabilizing his agitated emotions within Swordgod Dugu Yunhe’s cave, returning to a calm state.

At that moment, Yu Yu and Lin Chen also returned from Sword God Mountain, and the three, being idle, started sparring.

Lin Chen had already been defeated by Lin Bai.

And earlier, Yu Yu was defeated too.

Yu Yu sheathed his sword, walked up to Lin Bai, and said with a bitter smile, "I truly envy you geniuses of the sword art; your comprehension is so strong. What takes others decades to comprehend, you achieved in just half a month."

"Truly, comparing oneself to others can be infuriating!"

Hearing Yu Yu’s words, Lin Bai smiled slightly and said, "Your ’Red Flower Sword Skill’ is not bad either. If it wasn’t against me, you would have a chance of winning against other strong ones of the same realm!"

Yu Yu and Lin Chen both smiled wryly.

Lin Bai said, "Alright, enough chatting, I’m heading to Sword God Mountain!"

Yu Yu curiously asked, "You’re going again?"

Lin Bai laughed, "When I was comprehending the ’Mist Sword Skill’, I saw the phantom of Dugu Yunhe, who said his sword skill was different from Dugu Bai’s!"

"I want to see what kind of sword skill Dugu Bai has!"

Lin Chen exclaimed, "You want to comprehend Dugu Bai’s ’Unbeatable Sword Skill’?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, immediately bid farewell to the two, and headed straight for Sword God Mountain.

Yu Yu and Lin Chen exchanged glances, and Yu Yu said, "Then I’ll go too!"

Lin Chen said bitterly, "I originally planned to rest for a few days, but seeing you two who are better than me working hard, it seems I can’t rest anymore."

"Let’s go, to Sword God Mountain together!"

Lin Chen said with a cry of mixed feelings.

...

Lin Bai once again stepped into Sword God Mountain, took out a map, and found the direction to Dugu Bai’s cave.

Immediately, he walked directly over.

Upon reaching before Dugu Bai’s cave, Lin Bai saw that there were two people inside.

One was a young boy, appearing to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a gray-white long robe, with a sharp sword strapped on his back.

Beside the boy stood a son of a prince, whose face was like jade and wore a gentle, warm smile.

Lin Bai saw them and had a vague impression but couldn’t remember where he’d seen them, so he didn’t pay them any mind and went directly into the cave mansion to examine it meticulously.

As Lin Bai stepped into the cave, the handsome son noticed him first. Seeing Lin Bai, he showed some surprise, leaned towards the boy, and whispered, "Yitian..., it’s him!"

The boy had been contemplating the mysteries within the cave but now, hearing the son’s voice, he snapped awake and looked at Lin Bai on the side, with clear and bright eyes.

The boy approached Lin Bai.

Lin Bai smiled slightly, as if greeting them, and paid no more attention.

The boy said, "You don’t recognize me anymore?"

Lin Bai frowned at this, looked at the boy with a puzzled expression, and pondered for a long time. Truly, Lin Bai couldn’t remember where he’d met these two before.

The boy chuckled, "Indeed, that day you had just comprehended the ’Mist Sword Skill’ left by Ancestor Yunhe. You must have been disturbed by the sword intention within the cave, making you somewhat mad and unclear in mind!"

"I am Dugu Yitian, and this is my cousin, Dugu Hao!"

That handsome son Dugu Hao smiled and said, "Friend, we’ve met before, though you may not recall."

Hearing Dugu Yitian and Dugu Hao’s words, Lin Bai frowned, thought about it, and a forgotten memory within him gradually emerged.

Lin Bai recalled that when he came out of Dugu Yunhe’s cave, he once encountered some warriors causing trouble.

At the time, Lin Bai used the ’Mist Sword Skill’, a single sword strike, although without the intention to kill them, was indeed immensely powerful.

Those dozen people would’ve died under Lin Bai’s sword.

But this young man suddenly appeared, and with just his sword intention alone, he withstood Lin Bai’s strike.

"Oh, I remember now." Lin Bai nodded slightly, saying, "Dugu Yitian, Dugu Hao, so you are two of the Sword Children of the Ed Clan, esteemed names indeed!"

Lin Bai had heard of Dugu Yitian.

After Lin Bai killed those eighteen Tianjiao within the Flying Dragon Forest, the Ye Clan thought it was Dugu Yitian’s doing and directed all their anger at Dugu Yitian.

Speaking of which, Lin Bai felt a bit guilty towards Dugu Yitian!

As for Dugu Hao, like Dugu Yitian, he too was a Sword Child of the Ed Clan!

Among the Nine Swordsmen of the Sword God Family, Lin Bai had now heard of four: Dugu Yitian, Dugu Hao, Ye Nuo, Duan Hao!
