Chapter 558 - She is waiting for someone! A fated enemy!
Chapter 559 of "The Unparalleled Sword Emperor" begins with intriguing events: Chapter 558: Chapter 557: She is waiting for someone! A fated enemy!Yejian Qiu looked at... Donāt miss it!
Chapter 558: Chapter 557: She is waiting for someone! A fated enemy!Yejian Qiu looked at Lin Bai, and Lin Bai looked at Yejian Qiu, both of them tacitly breaking into hearty laughter.
Since Yejian Qiu had come to agree to participate in the Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition, and he was the champion last year, his goal for this year must still be the first place.
And Lin Bai just bluntly stated that his goal was also the first place.
Then, this competition for the first place between Yejian Qiu and Lin Bai, was certainly going to require a battle!
Yejian Qiu laughed and said, "Good, chatting with Brother Lin is really interesting. Come on, Brother Lin, letās have another drink. I hope that three days later in Sword Discussion City, no matter how we may fight against each other, we will not harm our good relationship. After leaving Sword Discussion City, we can still enjoy wine together."
"Absolutely!" Lin Bai clinked his glass with Yejian Qiuās and drank the wine.
"Brother Ye, you were already the top sword cultivator last year, why do you still want to participate this year?"
"You know, if you lose this year, even if you win the second place, all your glory will be reduced to ashes."
Lin Bai said deeply.
Generally speaking, sword cultivators who had participated in the Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition would not come again the next year, regardless of whether they had broken through to the Human Elixir Realm or not.
Yejian Qiu gave a bitter smile and said, "The reason we fight in the world of martial arts is just that we canāt give up fame and benefit."
Lin Bai laughed and said, "Only by putting down fame and benefit can a sword cultivator be at ease."
Yejian Qiu shook his head and said, "If I could put it down, perhaps I would have broken through to the Human Elixir Realm already. Itās just that I canāt let go of this fame and benefit!"
"To be honest, Brother Lin, I am not coming to Sword Discussion City this year to retain my championship, but to find someone who can defeat me!"
"In this yearās Sword Debate, I just wish to be defeated!"
Yejian Qiu said affirmatively.
"As long as I am defeated, I can break through to the Human Elixir Realm immediately!"
Yejian Qiu said with absolute certainty.
Although Lin Bai didnāt know if what Yejian Qiu said was true or false, Lin Bai laughed and said, "Then your wish for this year will definitely come true. I will certainly defeat you!"
Yejian Qiu laughed and said, "I am looking forward to it."
"Brother Lin, letās not talk about such a depressing topic anymore."
"Brother Lin is from Shenwu Kingdom, do you know Lin Ziāer?"
Yejian Qiu looked at Lin Bai curiously.
Upon hearing the name Lin Ziāer, Lin Baiās smile instantly froze on his face, a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and then Lin Baiās expression returned to normal, and he asked with a smile, "Why did Brother Ye suddenly mention Lin Ziāer?"
Yejian Qiu laughed and said, "Ha ha, itās nothing. Itās just that this personās recent reputation is too strong, I am just curious."
"With the Heaven Level Fifth Grade Martial Soul, let alone in Lingdong, even in Lingnan it would be difficult to find a hundred such people in thousands of years."
"Brother Lin, did you know, that Lin Ziāer had a draw against a Human Elixir Realm expert after her recent breakthrough to the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm. It was truly astonishing."
"And half a month ago, one of the three Sect Leader Supremes on the Miracle Ridge personally came down the mountain to invite her to join the Miracle Ridge, showing great fondness for her, and adopted her as his goddaughter."
"The Supreme Sect Leader originally wanted to take Lin Ziāer to the Miracle Ridge, but Lin Ziāer said she was waiting for someone in the Shenwu Kingdom, someone who was the mortal enemy of her life!"
"Because of this, that Supreme Sect Leader put aside all his pride, and chose to stay in Canghai Yuntai Palace with Lin Ziāer. You can imagine how much he values Lin Ziāer."
"I really want to meet such a favored girl."
Buzz buzzāā
Yejian Qiu was only engrossed in speaking, but did not notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere around him.
Lin Bai, holding his wine cup, fiddled with it ceaselessly at his fingertips. While a smile still adorned his face, it had gradually turned icy cold.
"She said sheās waiting for someone? Waiting for the enemy of her lifetime?" Lin Bai asked with a grin.
Yejian Qiu replied with a laugh, "Yes, she did say so, but no one knows exactly who this enemy is."
"However, Brother Lin, given Lin Ziāerās current cultivation level, coupled with her Heaven Level Fifth Grade martial soul, I fear that there arenāt many young warriors within the 700 states of Lingdong who can defeat her anymore."
"I wonder who the formidable enemy she spoke of is, that she places such high importance on him!"
Yejian Qiu was also very interested in who this formidable enemy Lin Ziāer was talking about.
Previously, Lin Ziāer had lost twice to Lin Bai, often in full view of the crowd.
However, unbeknownst to Lin Bai, Canghai Yuntai Palace, in order to protect Lin Ziāerās reputation, had killed all the warriors who witnessed Lin Ziāerās defeat in secrecy.
The Canghai Yuntai Palace needed a invincible Lin Ziāer.
Not a Lin Ziāer who was humiliated twice in succession by Lin Bai.
Now, within the territory of Shenwu Kingdom, virtually nobody knew of the deep-seated hatred between Lin Bai and Lin Ziāer.
"She is waiting for me..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Baiās eyes turned cold, and the blood in his body began to boil.
"Itās almost time, nearly there."
Lin Bai muttered softly to himself.
There was only a little more than half a month left before the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition.
The time Lin Bai would need to return to Shenwu Kingdom, after participating in the Sword Cultivator Competition at the Famous Sword Manor, would also be roughly half a month. He should be able to make it in time for the competition of the Four Major Sects.
Lin Bai was aware that Lin Ziāer was his destined enemy.
If the destiny of the Devouring Sword Spirit was to annihilate the heavens,
Then Lin Baiās destiny now was to kill Lin Ziāer.
Just as Ling Tianzi had said, Lin Baiās humiliation had begun with the awakening of his martial soul, and the first person to humiliate Lin Bai was Lin Ziāer.
When Lin Ziāerās martial soul awakened, a Heaven Level Fifth Grade, it shocked Lingdong. Lin Ziāer, originally hailed as a heaven-pride girl, should have soared proudly above the Nine Heavens like a phoenix. But the first person who defeated her was Lin Bai.
Lin Ziāer was Lin Baiās inner demon! She was his hindrance!
Lin Bai was Lin Ziāerās inner demon! He was her hindrance!
Ling Tianzi had once told Li Shanqing, regardless of whether Lin Bai or Lin Ziāer had killed the other, the one who survived among the two would become unrelentingly determined in their martial arts journey.
This was an incredibly crucial battle for both Lin Bai and Lin Ziāer in regards to their martial arts path.
This was destiny, and between the two of them, only one could survive.
Yejian Qiu, noticing the change in Lin Baiās facial expression, laughed and said, "Ha, Brother Lin, Iāve digressed. Letās talk about the Sword Cultivators in the Famous Sword Manor."
Yejian Qiu quickly changed the topic with a laugh.
Hearing about the Sword Cultivators in the Famous Sword Manor piqued Lin Baiās interest, and he asked, "Brother Ye, donāt laugh at me, but I actually know nothing about the Sword Cultivators in the Famous Sword Manor."
Yejian Qiu laughed, "Thatās perfect, I happen to know quite a bit about them."
Lin Bai chuckled, "In that case, Brother Ye, please enlighten me. Iām curious to know which renowned experts are participating in this yearās Sword Cultivator competition!"
Yejian Qiu took a deep breath and said, "Brother Lin, this yearās Sword Cultivator competition might be the edition of the Famous Sword Manorās Debate and Martial Arts Competition that has the most experts since it was first held."
