The Unparalleled Sword Emperor

Chapter 2865: Chapter 2840: Slaughter!

In the Eighteen Levels of Hell, within the dark underground canyon, the stone chambers on both sides of the rock walls, over thirty thousand Warriors lowered their heads, looking at Lin Bai and Lin Ye, their eyes filled with wild joy.

Just before the Crown Prince, Wu He, left, he clearly stated: If Lin Bai cannot leave this place within seven days, then after seven days, when Wu He returns, he will pardon everyone here!

This undoubtedly gave these prisoners a glimmer of hope.

Although they all understood that Wu He might be deceiving them, for these prisoners who have been imprisoned for decades, even a deceitful hope gave them the motivation to survive.

"Freedom... freedom... freedom..."

Each prisoner muttered the word "freedom."

They had been imprisoned for too long, yearning to leave the Eighteen Levels of Hell.

They were willing to do anything to escape this place.

"Stay! Stay! Stay!"

The prisoners gazed at Lin Bai, chanting "stay," their meaning was clear: Lin Bai must remain here for seven days, unable to leave!

But how could Lin Bai stay here for seven days?

After seven days, the Demon Slaying Conference would be over, and Zhao Yue would already be dead.

Zhao Yue’s death meant little to Lin Bai, but once Zhao Yue died and her Divine Soul was destroyed, Ye Suxin would die as well!

This was something Lin Bai absolutely could not tolerate!

Back on the Miracle Ridge, Lin Bai was weak, helpless, and could only watch as Ye Suxin took her own life before him.

But now Lin Bai was different. As the Saint of the East Continent, unmatched below the Wending Realm, Lin Bai now possessed the power to change destiny. This time, he would not watch Ye Suxin die!

Lin Bai stepped forward with Lin Ye, intending to dash out of the canyon, but at that moment, prisoners of the Eighteen Levels of Hell moved to block Lin Bai, densely packed, shrouding the sky and sealing Lin Bai at the canyon bottom!

"I advise you all, do not seek death!"

Upon seeing these people obstruct him, Lin Bai immediately flipped his hand, the Demonic Sword appearing in his palm.

A trace of murderous intent quietly emerged.

Lin Bai’s face was icy cold.

Just then, an old man dressed in tattered clothes stepped forward from among the prisoners, leaning on a stone staff, lightly coughed, and said: "Wu He said you are the Saint of the East Continent?"

Lin Bai looked at the old man, fast approaching his twilight years, his face full of wrinkles, all teeth gone, hunched over, emanating a strong deathly aura—clearly, the old man was close to death.

Lin Bai silently gazed at the old man.

He noticed that as this old man appeared, the murmuring prisoners all went silent, evidently holding a certain reverence for the old man.

The old man, seeing Lin Bai remain silent, chuckled: "Since you won’t answer, it’s not important. But today, Saint Lin Bai, we cannot let you leave!"

"You are our only chance to escape this cursed place."

The old man said coldly, with a hint of joy lighting up his eyes at the mention of escaping.

Lin Bai replied coldly: "You know very well Wu He is deceiving you."

The old man nodded: "I know he might be deceiving us, but this is our last hope. If we don’t believe Wu He, we have no hope of escape!"

"Even if I know Wu He is deceiving us, we are willing to try. What if Wu He truly lets us leave!"

Spoke the old man coldly.

Lin Bai declared firmly: "I must leave!"

The old man shook his head and smiled: "Then I apologize, Saint Lin Bai. If you wish to leave, don’t blame us for being ruthless."

"We will stop at nothing to keep you here!"

Declared the old man coldly.

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, looking at the prisoners whose eyes glowed coldly, he spoke: "It seems we haven’t agreed on terms, so we can only proceed with our own methods!"

Lin Bai’s hand flashed, and the Demonic Sword radiated a powerful Sword Intention.

The old man sneered: "Saint Lin Bai plans to force your way through, but with thirty-five thousand prisoners here, although individually they may not be a match for you, rushed together, perhaps even you cannot resist!"

Lin Bai coldly replied: "Whether or not I can resist, we’ll know after a fight!"

"One last warning, anyone who comes within three steps of me, I won’t be held accountable for my cruelty!"

"Lin Ye, let’s go!"

Lin Bai led Lin Ye, clutching the Demonic Sword, step by step out from the canyon bottom, ascending towards the canyon top.

With Lin Bai’s determined steps, the old man’s gaze grew cold, while the prisoners’ eyes turned increasingly ferocious.

At that moment, a prisoner shouted furiously, saliva flying, his face terrifying: "Stay..."

The prisoner stepped forward, into Lin Bai’s three-step radius, intending to grasp Lin Bai’s shoulder.

And in that instant, as the prisoner entered Lin Bai’s three-step radius, the Demonic Sword flashed, severing the prisoner’s head, concurrently, Lin Bai declared: "Within three steps, kill without mercy!"

Lin Bai’s face twisted with ferocity, looking at the surrounding prisoners.

Having killed the first person, Lin Bai needed to intimidate these prisoners.

"Stop him!" the old man shouted coldly as Lin Bai’s pace grew quicker.

"Roar! Roar!" Thirty-five thousand prisoners opened their mouths in fury, looking viciously at Lin Bai, shouting "Freedom! Freedom! Freedom," charging towards Lin Bai together!

"Lin Ye, kill them!"

Lin Bai saw the thirty-five thousand prisoners rushing towards him, the canyon filled with shadows of people.

At this moment, Lin Bai’s face remained icy cold, his eyes blood-red, desperate to leave, he had lost Spiritual Wisdom, commanding Lin Ye to begin slaughtering.

"I must leave!"

"I must leave!"

"I cannot watch Ye Suxin die before me again!"

"On the Miracle Ridge, I was powerless; but this time, even for my life, I cannot fail her again!"

"Within three steps, kill without mercy! All who block me must die..."

Lin Bai’s eyes went blood-red, glaring at the thirty thousand prisoners rushing him, a fierce expression on his face.

The Demonic Sword flashed, an unrivaled Sword Aura gleamed through the canyon.

Two Flying Swords, like Divine Light piercing the vault above, continually shining through these prisoners.

The Heaven-Measuring Ruler, with earth-shattering power, shattered the heavens and earth!

Move after move of swordsmanship, wave after wave of Sword Intent, appeared in an endless stream.

Zhanlong Sword Skill, Mist Sword Art, Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, Sky-splitting Sword Skill, Tai Chi Dual Elemental Sword Array, Slaying Immortal..., devastating sword skills flowed from Lin Bai’s hand.

Within the canyon, countless Warriors fell beneath Lin Bai’s sword, their blood staining the earth red...
