Three-Headed Serpent

Chapter 13 Three-Headed Serpent

As Lin Bai entered One-Inch Mountain, he became vigilant.

The terrain of One-Inch Mountain was cold and damp. All the trees were withered, moss grew on the rocks, and crows cawed annoyingly in the treetops.

It was clear at a glance that this was not a good place.

After walking a few steps further, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground. Lin Bai looked up in surprise and saw a large rock being pushed down from the top of the mountain, heading straight for him.

Behind the rock, a monstrous serpent about a hundred meters long with three heads, looking fierce and malevolent, swooped down from the top of the mountain, aiming right at him!

Clang!

Seeing this, Lin Bai immediately drew the Spirit Severing Sword and slashed at the rolling boulder in front of him, splitting it in two.

Hiss—

The moment the boulder was split open, Lin Bai saw the Three-Headed Serpent revealed behind it, all three heads opening their mouths to bite at him.

"You beast, I was just looking for you. I didn't expect you to come out to die!" Lin Bai sneered, nimbly dodging the Three-Headed Serpent's attack. He retreated ten meters, creating distance and readjusting his attack.

This Three-Headed Serpent had been entrenched in One-Inch Mountain for many years. Any martial artist who came to One-Inch Mountain, unaware of its presence, was devoured alive by the Three-Headed Serpent.

Relying on its profound Martial Dao Eighth Level cultivation, the Three-Headed Serpent had never encountered an opponent.

One-Inch Mountain was too barren. Apart from this powerful serpent, there were no rare spiritual herbs or minerals. Ordinary martial artists were unwilling to come here and provoke the serpent.

But Lin Bai was different. The Three-Headed Serpent, with its Martial Dao Eighth Level cultivation, was very tempting to Lin Bai.

The higher the grade of the Demon Beasts, the more abundant the Bloodline Power within their bodies, which was more helpful to the Divine Demon Suppressing Prison Sutra!

The Three-Headed Serpent roared to the sky. The left head spat out a mouthful of flames, shooting straight at Lin Bai.

The right head spat out a mouthful of ice.

"Damn! It can breathe fire!"

Lin Bai hurriedly dodged. The Three-Headed Serpent, relying on its ability to breathe fire and ice, constantly chased Lin Bai around One-Inch Mountain, forcing him to hide and dodge.

"Indeed troublesome!"

Lin Bai cursed. Stepping on a rock, he leaped up.

The Three-Headed Serpent opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of flames. Lin Bai's eyes hardened. "Evading all the time is not a solution!"

"Alright, let's gamble!"

"One Sword Bloodspray!"

With a single sword strike, the flames were shattered, and the sword light rapidly struck the Three-Headed Serpent's neck.

The Three-Headed Serpent let out a shrill scream.

"Beast, die!"

Lin Bai succeeded with one blow and quickly rushed forward, wanting to kill the Three-Headed Serpent before it could unleash its flames and ice.

But just as Lin Bai approached the Three-Headed Serpent, the middle head angrily opened its mouth, shooting out a corrosive ray that struck the ground, instantly corroding a large area into a deep pit.

"Luckily, I dodged quickly. Otherwise, if that hit me, it would have instantly rotted me." Lin Bai looked at the large pit left by the corrosion with lingering fear.

Roar—, Roar—, Roar—

The Three-Headed Serpent's three heads roared together.

"Looks like I have to fight desperately!"

"Thunder God Sword!"

Crack, crack, crack—

Suddenly, a bolt of divine lightning fell from the sky, striking Lin Bai's sword. Streaks of purple lightning immediately appeared on the sword.

"Slash!"

Lin Bai flew up, breaking through the flames spewed by the Three-Headed Serpent. With a single slash, he severed one of the Three-Headed Serpent's heads.

With one head severed, the Three-Headed Serpent's cry was incredibly shrill.

"Die!"

After killing one head, Lin Bai turned around and unleashed Cold-Blooded Strike, sending out a sword light that directly pierced through the middle head and the left head.

A huge bloody hole was left in the heads.

The Three-Headed Serpent fell to the ground, no longer moving.

After killing the Three-Headed Serpent, Lin Bai was overjoyed. "I wonder if this serpent can help me break through to Martial Dao Seventh Level."

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Bai activated the Devouring Sword Soul, devouring the essence and blood within the Three-Headed Serpent's body.

"It's loosened, but not enough..."

Lin Bai felt his realm loosen, but he did not break through to Martial Dao Seventh Level.

"Time to find the next Demon Beasts!"

Lin Bai carried the corpse of the Three-Headed Serpent and walked back towards the Demon Slayer Alliance.

Back at the Demon Slayer Alliance.

When Lin Bai returned carrying the massive Three-Headed Serpent, he immediately attracted the attention of the entire Demon Slayer Alliance.

"That's... the Three-Headed Serpent of One-Inch Mountain!"

"Good heavens, that serpent is a Martial Dao Eighth Level Demon Beast! How could he have killed it?"

"Wow, so amazing! If only I could slay a Martial Dao Eighth Level Demon Beast on my own one day."

Martial artists all admire the strong.

And Lin Bai, having killed a Martial Dao Eighth Level Three-Headed Serpent while only at the Martial Dao Sixth Level, instantly gained the recognition of the martial artists.

Qi Sheng stood coldly to the side, saying in a chilling voice, "Hmph, what's so great about it! It's just a Martial Dao Eighth Level Demon Beast, I could kill it too!"

Lin Bai carried the Demon Beast to the Demon Slayer Alliance's Contribution Hall, exchanged it for contribution points, and then headed to the Life and Death Cave.

Tie Haitang had been very troubled these past few days, unable to focus on cultivation at all.

Because in Tie Haitang's heart now, besides cultivation, there was a man she yearned for day and night.

As soon as she heard that Lin Bai had returned, she rushed out of her cave dwelling and headed straight for the Life and Death Cave.

As luck would have it, when Tie Haitang arrived at the Life and Death Cave, Lin Bai had just come out.

"Lin Bai, you're back! Did things go smoothly at One-Inch Mountain?" Tie Haitang asked with a smile.

"Smoothly. I've already killed the Three-Headed Serpent and am now preparing to hunt the next Demon Beast," Lin Bai said with a smile.

"You're going out again so soon? Aren't you going to rest?" Tie Haitang said with some concern.

"Hehe, I'd like to rest, but I'm already behind. If I rest again, I'm afraid I really won't be able to catch up," Lin Bai said, then quickly walked out of the Demon Slayer Alliance.

"Lin Bai, Lin Bai, Lin Bai," Tie Haitang called out a few times, watching Lin Bai's back, but Lin Bai walked away resolutely, not looking back at all.

Tie Haitang could only walk back alone, dejected.

After the two had left, Tie Feng walked out from the shadows, shaking his head and saying, "Alas, I'm afraid Haitang's affection will be misplaced. Lin Bai, he is not interested in women; the path he wants to take is the path of the strong."

"This Azure Spirit Mountain Range will not be his final destination."

Tie Feng had already seen that Lin Bai was just a passerby for the Azure Spirit Mountain Range; he would not stay.

Five days later!

Lin Bai returned to the Demon Slayer Alliance, carrying a lion whose fur was like blazing flames.

"Lin Bai, can you let me go with you?" Tie Haitang asked pleadingly.

"No, Haitang. This time I'm going to kill a Martial Dao Ninth Level Demon Beast. I don't even have confidence in myself right now, so you shouldn't go. It's too dangerous," Lin Bai said with a grin, walking out of the Demon Slayer Alliance.

"Oh," Tie Haitang responded dejectedly.

Four days later!

Lin Bai returned to the Demon Slayer Alliance, carrying a Martial Dao Ninth Level Demon Beast, once again causing a stir.

"Lin Bai, let me go with you this time! I've become very strong. Even against a Martial Dao Ninth Level Demon Beast, I have a way to fight!" Tie Haitang, wearing a set of exquisite leather armor and holding a long spear, stood in front of Lin Bai with a look of determination.
