Chapter 1152 - Within Half a Year!
Chapter 1152 of "The Unparalleled Sword Emperor" opens with: Chapter 1152: Chapter 1150: Within Half a Year!Master Ye Wuhuan and Zhao Longtu fell silent... Find out what happens!
Chapter 1152: Chapter 1150: Within Half a Year!Master Ye Wuhuan and Zhao Longtu fell silent upon hearing Dugu Yunâs words.
The only warrior who had comprehended the complete Supreme Sword in the last several hundred years!
With this single reason, Dugu Yun, as the Dean of the Sword Art Academy, was willing to risk his life to protect Lin Bai!
Zhao Longtu shouted in anger and frustration, "Dugu Yun, do you still have any respect for Saint Yejian Jun in your actions?"
"Do you still respect the rules of the Miracle Ridge?"
"Saint? Haha," laughed Dugu Yun coldly upon hearing this, "Two years from now, itâs still uncertain whether the title of Saint will belong to Yejian Jun!"
Gulp!
Such startling statements that rest didnât come after them!
Dugu Yunâs words hit all the warriors gathered like a bolt from the blue!
What did he mean by it being uncertain whether the title of Saint would still belong to Yejian Jun two years from now?
Understand that Yejian Jun had held the position of Saint for over five years, and in those five years, aside from the first two, almost no one dared to challenge him for the title of Saint in the last three years!
Did Dugu Yunâs statement imply that Yejian Junâs position as Saint might change hands after two years?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Longtuâs and Ye Wuhuanâs eyes narrowed instantly, and their bodies broke out in goosebumps.
"Dugu Yun, what do you mean by this?" demanded Zhao Longtu with an icy face.
Dugu Yun snorted coldly, as if turning a deaf ear.
"Sect Leader Supreme Zhao Longtu," said Yejian Jun nonchalantly, "do you still not understand?"
"Dean Dugu Yun means... in two yearsâ time, once Lin Bai has grown, he will snatch the title of Saint from my hands."
"Is that what you mean, Dean Dugu Yun?" Yejian Jun asked with a smile, looking at Dugu Yun.
Dugu Yun narrowed his eyes, looking at Yejian Jun, and cracked a faint smile.
At this moment, Lin Bai stood up from the ground and said coldly, "Senior Dugu Yun, arenât you underestimating me?"
When Lin Bai spoke, all eyes once again shifted focus.
"Why wait two years?"
"If I donât die today, within half a year, whether itâs the title of Saint or Sect Leader Supreme,, on the Miracle Ridge, no one will be my opponent!" Lin Bai said with intense confidence, his voice roaring.
Dugu Yun looked at Lin Bai with satisfaction. Hearing Lin Baiâs words was a great comfort to him.
Within half a year, invincible on the Miracle Ridge!
Hearing Lin Baiâs words, Zhao Longtu and Ye Wuhuan were both shocked into a cold sweat!
Others like Chu Yue and Yan Yu harbored cold smiles instead, believing Lin Bai was just bragging to get Dugu Yun to save him!
"Ha! A frog in a well, looking at the sky," scoffed Yejian Jun upon hearing Lin Baiâs words, his face showing disdain.
Lin Bai sneered, "Yejian Jun, what, do you think I canât do it?"
Yejian Jun sneered back, "Lin Bai, you have no idea how powerful I am. Here on the Miracle Ridge, if I wish it, I could reduce it to ashes in a blink of an eye!"
"Whether it be the Sect Leader Supreme or high-ranking Elders, they are but toys in my hands."
"You want to challenge me within half a year? Fine, Iâll give you those six months to build your own grave!" Yejian Jun said, looking at Lin Bai with contempt.
Then, he clasped his hands in a bow to everyone present and laughed, "Master Ye Wuhuan, Sect Leader Zhao Longtu, Dean Dugu Yun, Peak Master Kang Xiao, Peak Master Wenyue, and all the high-ranking Elders!"
"Todayâs gathering was merely a banquet to host Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan. They did not intrude without permission. During the banquet, Chu Yue, Yan Yu, Wen Ye, and others saw that Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan possessed exceptional cultivation and wished to spar."
"After I saw it, I couldnât restrain myself from exchanging a few moves. Who knew that our actions would accidentally be too powerful and alarm the seniors? Thatâs my fault!"
"I apologize for that."
Yejian Jun continued smiling and saluted all the warriors present.
"Though Junior Brother Lin Baiâs cultivation is exceptional, his present state is still too low. In fighting me, he collapsed before I even exerted a third of my strength."
"However, Junior Brother Lin Bai is of extraordinary talent. I wish to set a date with Junior Brother Lin Bai: in six months, we shall fight again, and the victor shall claim the title of Saint!"
"And the loser will kneel and kowtow, begging for mercy until the other party agrees to spare his life before he can leave!"
"What say you?"
Ye Jian Jun looked at Lin Bai with a smile, asking.
Jian Ruohan, Dugu Yun, they all looked at Lin Bai, waiting for his answer.
"It seems that if I do not agree today, the Saint will not let me leave easily, right?"
"Fine, I agree!"
"Half a year later, on the third day of the ninth month, a battle will decide life and death!"
Lin Bai said coldly.
"Agreed," Ye Jian Jun responded coldly.
"Since the matter here has been resolved, I will not keep the Sect Leaders and Elders any longer."
"Chu Yue, show our guests out."
Ye Jian Jun said coldly.
Zhao Longtu swept his sleeves and, after giving Lin Bai a cold glare, strode away.
Originally an outsider to these affairs, Zhao Longtu naturally had no reason to continue pressing Lin Bai since Ye Jian Jun had decided not to pursue the matter!
And Ye Wuhuan left the place directly with Ye Suxin and Hong Su!
"Lin Bai, letâs go." Bai Xiaoxiao helped Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan to stand up and they walked out of the Saint Mansion together.
Dugu Yun sighed softly and said to Pei Ji behind him, "Pei Ji, you take them back to the Sword Art Academy first. I want to go and see Lin Bai."
"Yes,"
Pei Ji answered.
The First Peak, the Kang Family!
After arriving at the Kang Family, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan recuperated for a long while and recovered some of their injuries; at least now they could walk without assistance.
"Tonight has finally passed." Kang Xiao took a deep breath and said lightly.
Wenyue and Dugu Yun sat in their chairs with gloomy expressions.
At this moment, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan emerged from the secret chamber and bowed with a fist, saying, "I am deeply grateful to Peak Master Kang Xiao, Peak Master Wenyue, and Senior Dugu Yun for their righteous help tonight. My thanks are beyond words!"
Kang Xiao said indifferently, "Friend Lin Bai, you found the Elixir Pills necessary for restoring the Dantian for Yi Yang, so naturally I would not stand idly by tonight. However, friend Lin Bai must understand..."
Lin Bai said with a smile, "I understand what Peak Master Kang Xiao means. From now on, this is a private grudge between Ye Jian Jun and me, and the favor owed by the Kang Family is now settled."
"Should I find myself in trouble again and Peak Master Kang Xiao does not wish to lend aid, I will not hold any grudge against the Kang Family."
Kang Xiao said with a smile, "You are a clever boy. Compared to Yi Yang, he is far behind you."
Dugu Yun took a deep breath and asked, "Lin Bai, letâs talk serious business. Are you confident?"
"To seize the title of Saint in half a year?"
Lin Bai smiled, "The sole purpose of my coming to the Five Peaks was to claim the title of Saint. Even if I had not made an arrangement with Ye Jian Jun today, I would still challenge for the title of Saint within half a year!"
"And since I now have half a yearâs time, it will be enough for the so-called Saint to take proper notice of me."
"Please rest assured, Senior Dugu Yun. In half a year, I will certainly not disappoint you!"
"Iâve said it, in half a year, I am determined to claim the title of Saint!"
Lin Bai stated resolutely.
Dugu Yun nodded in satisfaction, "Supreme Sword, which form have you understood up to now?"
"The eighth form, and I am just a little away from the ninth,"
Lin Bai replied.
Dugu Yun nodded, "Good. Lin Bai, I believe you wonât let me down in half a year, and the title of Saint is bound to be yours. If you have any requirements during this half-year, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help you!"
Lin Bai bowed with a fist, "Thank you, Sect Leader Dugu Yun. As a matter of fact, I do have a favor to ask!"
