Nighttime Killing Intent

Putting aside the jumbled thoughts in his mind, Chen Lin stood up. He controlled his sword with his mind, then gripped the hilt and dragged the sword onto the giant tree branch.

After steadying himself, Chen Lin secretly resolved that if he had time in the future, he would definitely practice sword flight properly. Otherwise, the posture of being dragged by the sword was simply not befitting his image as a dashing Sword Immortal.

As Chen Lin's gaze turned towards the battlefield between the oxen and dogs, the Cold Moon Flying Daggers on his lower back flew out one by one, circling around him.

After Chen Lin's spirit soul had undergone a qualitative improvement last time, the number of flying daggers he could precisely control increased from three to six.

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~

The six flying daggers instantly shot towards the Spotted Scale Dogs like lightning dragons.

"Thwack! Thwack!"

Spirit Artifact-grade flying daggers were like a dimensionality reduction attack against Demonic Beast-level monsters.

The incredibly tough heads of the Spotted Scale Dogs were like tofu against the attacks of the Cold Moon Flying Daggers. Brain matter scattered along with the flying daggers.

These flying daggers, which had pierced through the skulls of the Spotted Scale Dogs, continued to attack other Spotted Scale Dogs at astonishing speed under Chen Lin's Spirit Sense Power control.

Seeing the brain matter of their companions inexplicably splattered everywhere, the other Spotted Scale Dogs' blood-red beast eyes were filled with panic as they barked wildly, searching for the enemy.

"The Spirit Sense Power I added points to has not only increased my control range but also significantly boosted my power?" Chen Lin was also surprised by the attack's effectiveness.

However, although Chen Lin was a little surprised, the attack did not stop.

In less than a minute, the six Cold Moon Flying Daggers, like ghostly dragons, not only took the heads of the Spotted Scale Dogs but also the heads of the three White Jade Horned Oxen.

[Slaughter Points +2]

[Slaughter Points +3]

Information about Slaughter Points entering his account continuously appeared in his mind.

Glancing at the ground full of demonic beast corpses, Chen Lin's lips curled up. Gripping his sword hilt, he flew towards the location of the ox and dog battle.

Upon landing, looking at the ground covered in blood and brain matter, Chen Lin clicked his tongue in admiration. "Spirit Masters are indeed the strongest and most elusive profession. If I had to fight these demonic beasts with my sword, not only would it be less efficient, but I might even get slightly injured. But with the Spirit Master, I can just squat on a tree and control a few flying daggers. Swish, swish, swish, in less than fifteen minutes, so many demonic beasts are dealt with. It's too satisfying!"

After lamenting the power of a Spirit Master, Chen Lin quickly collected the materials from the demonic beasts on the field.

Once all the demonic beast materials were collected, Chen Lin looked at the sky, which had completely darkened, and immediately turned to head back.

Even though he was now a Martial Master in the mid-stage, killing Demonic Soldier-level demonic beasts was like slicing through vegetables. He still didn't dare to wander in the wilderness at night.

Otherwise, if he were unlucky enough to encounter a wild Demon General-level demonic beast that had escaped, he would be praying for mercy!

This kind of thing wasn't impossible; it happened frequently.

Especially in areas inhabited by humans, even after being cleared out by various forces multiple times, powerful demonic beasts would still occasionally appear, attacking human cities and causing great disaster to humanity.

This was also the fundamental reason why most human cities prohibited civilians without cultivation from leaving the city.

Chen Lin traveled at lightning speed. The journey that took nearly half an hour on the way took him less than fifteen minutes to return to the camp.

At this time, everyone in the camp had already begun cultivating cross-legged.

Chen Lin's return did not attract much attention from others. Only Wu Fan, seeing the six additional white jade ox horns on Chen Lin's back and his slightly bulging backpack, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As night gradually deepened, the wilderness was occasionally filled with the roars of demonic beasts, adding a touch of liveliness to the silent night.

"Whoosh~"

A piercing sound of air being broken cut through the night sky.

"Bang!"

A giant hammer blocked the arrow that was shot towards Chen Lin.

"Enemy attack! Everyone prepare for battle!"

Zhu Wei appeared in front of Chen Lin, warily looking towards the dark night sky in the distance.

"Which bastard is it, sneak-attacking us for no reason!" Wang Ming, holding his saber, stared intently in the direction the arrow came from and said hatefully.

Chen Lin wiped a bead of cold sweat from his forehead, thinking how close it was.

He had actually discovered the arrow that had pierced the night sky and was aimed at him when it was still over a hundred meters away.

He had originally intended to roll and dodge, but the arrow was flying incredibly fast. The time from detection to it reaching him was less than a second.

In such a short time, he didn't have time to dodge. In his desperation, Chen Lin instinctively used his Spirit Sense Power to obstruct the arrow layer by layer, significantly reducing its speed towards him.

This gave Zhu Wei the opportunity to use his giant hammer to block the fatal shot for him.

Otherwise, he would have been praying for mercy.

"Damn it, I almost went back to my hometown!" Chen Lin stared intently at the direction the arrow came from, cursing hatefully.

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

In the dark night sky, four arrows flew in succession, targeting Zhu Wei, Li Fei, Wu Fan, and Wang Ming respectively.

"Put out the bonfire!" He Yanjun shouted to Jiang Tianyu, who was closest to the fire.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianyu immediately swept his spear, extinguishing the blazing bonfire.

Chen Lin's vision instantly went black, plunging him into a brief state of blindness.

The four who were attacked, having been prepared, either blocked with their weapons or dodged.

Only Wu Fan, due to insufficient strength, narrowly avoided the arrow's shot with the help of He Yanjun's saber.

After the bonfire was extinguished, no more arrows were fired.

After waiting for a while, Zhu Wei spoke, "That group is gone! Everyone tidy up and let's find another place to rest!"

"Boss, did you get a clear look at who those people were?" Wu Fan, who had almost been pierced by an arrow, asked with a furious expression.

"The enemy had a similar number of people to our team, seven in total. As for who they were, I couldn't see clearly because of the distance," Zhu Wei replied with a helpless shake of his head.

"It seems our journey back to the bridgehead will be a bit turbulent!" He Yanjun said to Zhu Wei with a serious expression.

"Since they dared to attack us, they should be prepared to die! Tonight, we will have a good fight with these human traitors!" Zhu Wei said with anger filling his eyes.

Chen Lin gazed at the dark night sky before him, a chilling killing intent appearing in his eyes.

Being this close to death for the first time filled him with rage at this moment.
