Saber Intent Slices Mountain Fiend

Lin Baichuan stepped forward, his speed instantly exploding to its limit. Like a phantom, he charged at the nearest Walking Corpse. Without a word, his saber was drawn, and with a flash of cold light, it sliced the Walking Corpse in half at the waist.

Pfft!

A foul-smelling blood splattered out, mixed with strange debris and rotten flesh. The dark green pus and blood, carrying astonishing corrosive properties, ate into the ground where it dripped, creating fist-sized pits. Lin Baichuan's scalp tingled.

Damn it!

Lin Baichuan cursed inwardly, his body skillfully dodging all the pus and blood as he charged towards the next target.

Just then, the system's mechanical voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Gained 1 Merit point.]

"Holy crap…"

Lin Baichuan froze, then became ecstatic. He never expected to gain Merit from killing Walking Corpses. This was a pleasant surprise!

At this moment, Lin Baichuan was completely exhilarated. One Walking Corpse was one Merit point. There were hundreds of Walking Corpses here. If he killed them all, that would be hundreds of Merit points, even more than killing Yin Kuisheng!

"Hahaha… You're all going to die!"

Lin Baichuan roared with laughter. He took a step, and his body was already ten feet away. His Battle Saber swung, the saber light whistling, its edge sharp and prominent.

He wielded the Seven Kill Saber Art, perfected to the point of being out of this world, to its absolute limit. At this moment, Lin Baichuan was like a tiger entering a wolf pack. With every swing of his saber, no Walking Corpse could withstand its might.

Every saber strike was enough to shatter metal and break stone. His physical strength alone had reached 100,000 jin, and with the amplification from the out of this world Seven Kill Saber Art, the power of each strike increased by at least tenfold.

The power of a single strike was enough to reach a massive 100,000 jin, capable of cleaving mountains and rocks, let alone mere human bodies.

Although these Walking Corpses had bodies far exceeding ordinary people after being contaminated and eroded by Corpse Poison, even harder than ordinary Ninth Rank Skin Refinement Realm martial artists, they still couldn't withstand Lin Baichuan's saber. Where the long saber passed, limbs and arms flew.

Lin Baichuan mowed through them like a bulldozer, crushing hundreds of Walking Corpses into a bloody pulp.

Like a strong gust of wind sweeping away fallen leaves, unstoppable.

This scene instantly stunned the five people, including Li Da, who were entangled with the Mountain Fiend, fighting fiercely on the side. They were all dumbfounded and disbelieving.

"Damn it, this guy has been hiding his strength. He's too insidious."

Niu Zhenye's face was ashen, and he gritted his teeth, growling, "We've all been tricked by him. With this strength, most Eighth Rank Bone Tempering Realm experts are probably no match for him."

"Stop spouting nonsense and focus. If the Battle Formation breaks and this beast escapes, it'll be a huge problem," Li Da glanced at Lin Baichuan, who was slaughtering everything in sight. A sharp glint flashed in his pupils, carrying a hint of killing intent.

He then said this to Niu Zhenye meaningfully.

Niu Zhenye was an old hand. As soon as Li Da spoke, he immediately understood Li Da's intentions.

He then nodded almost imperceptibly, killing intent flickering in his eyes. He suddenly slashed out with his saber, aiming directly at the Mountain Fiend within the Battle Formation, shouting, "Beast, die!"

The saber light flashed and struck the Mountain Fiend's back, causing sparks to fly.

"Roar roar…"

The Mountain Fiend roared. With a low growl, astonishing cold, malevolent energy erupted from within it. It slammed out a palm, actually sending Niu Zhenye spitting blood and retreating over ten feet. With his retreat, the entire Battle Formation immediately had a gap. The Mountain Fiend seized this opening, its body like a phantom, and directly broke through the encirclement.

Everyone was stunned and didn't react in time. The direction the Mountain Fiend broke out towards was precisely Lin Baichuan.

"Not good, change formation, stop him!"

Li Da's expression changed drastically. He roared and immediately leaped forward, trying to intercept the Mountain Fiend.

Just then, the Mountain Fiend transformed into a dense mist and surged towards the back mountain of the village. Where it passed, it collided directly with Lin Baichuan.

"Lin Baichuan, be careful!"

Qin Qing was the first to notice the abnormality and shouted, her expression extremely grim.

At this moment, Lin Baichuan had completely finished killing all the Walking Corpses. He was still excited about gaining hundreds of Merit points. Suddenly, the hair on his body stood on end, and he felt a chilling wind sweep towards him.

It was the Mountain Fiend!

This guy knew he couldn't do anything to Li Da and the others and would eventually be worn down and killed by them, so he wanted to retreat.

Lin Baichuan was blocking his escape route, so he naturally didn't plan to avoid him, intending to crush him. In his eyes, no matter how powerful Lin Baichuan was, he was just a Ninth Rank Skin Refinement Realm cultivator. Such a small fry definitely wouldn't withstand a single blow from him.

Malevolent energy churned around the Mountain Fiend, like a tornado, surging directly towards Lin Baichuan.

"Slash!"

Lin Baichuan's eyes widened. He gripped his saber with both hands and slashed down fiercely.

Clang…

The saber rang like a thunderclap. The long saber descended, as if merging with heaven and earth. A surge of malevolent energy like a mountain torrent, like a river rushing, descended along the saber. The peerless Saber Intent was sharp and prominent, majestic like a mountain, fierce like ocean waves.

At this moment, everyone was drawn by the sound of the saber, their bodies trembling for no reason.

Even the Mountain Fiend's expression changed. A sense of death swept through its entire body, causing it to tremble uncontrollably, filled with shock and fear. Almost subconsciously, it wanted to turn and flee.

However, it was too late.

The long saber fell, and the saber light flashed, slicing through its body like cutting tofu, splitting it in two.

Pfft…

A stream of blood shot up. The Mountain Fiend's massive body rushed forward about ten feet before suddenly crashing to the ground with a bang, blood flowing everywhere.

[Ding! Gained 260 Merit points]

The next moment, a system prompt sounded in Lin Baichuan's mind. He trembled all over, his body, which had been somewhat weak from that saber strike, was instantly revitalized, his eyes shining brightly.

Meanwhile, the village was deathly silent.

Li Da, Qin Qing, and the other four stared at Lin Baichuan with wide eyes, looking at him in disbelief.

"Saber Intent... that was definitely Saber Intent just now. My god... Lin Baichuan actually comprehended Saber Intent, how is that possible..."

Wu Xiaoqi exclaimed in disbelief, his face full of astonishment.

In fact, Li Da and the others weren't much better off. They had all been stunned by Lin Baichuan's saber strike and were now instinctively swallowing hard as they looked at him.

Saber Intent, this was a Martial Path Intent Realm.

Many martial artists could never comprehend a Martial Path Intent Realm in their entire lives. This had nothing to do with cultivation, it purely relied on comprehension. Those who could comprehend a Martial Path Intent Realm in the major physical realms were all prodigies. Someone like Lin Baichuan, who had comprehended Saber Intent at the Ninth Rank Skin Refinement Realm, was even rarer than a phoenix's feather, and the entire Demon Suppression Division of Cangwu County couldn't find a single one.

At this moment!

Li Da, Niu Zhenye, and the others looked at Lin Baichuan with complicated expressions.

At this time, Lin Baichuan, holding his saber, was dissecting the Mountain Fiend's corpse. After a few strikes, a bead flew out with splashing blood and landed in his hand.
