Qin Meng was so furious that his hair stood on end, and his ferocious punch shook heaven and earth!
"Let's see whose fists are harder—yours or mine!"
"Divine Dragon Arm!"
Lin Bai no longer held back. Seeing Qin Meng charge at him with such a terrifying punch, he immediately unleashed the strongest martial technique at his disposal.
The power of his qi and blood gathered in his arm. With a furious roar, Lin Bai smashed his fist forward.
Bang!
Qin Meng, a first-level True Martial Realm warrior, was actually sent flying by Lin Bai's punch, landing ten meters away.
"Your martial technique...!" Qin Meng was so frightened by Lin Bai's attack that he could not speak.
"Weren't you going to kill me? Come on! Let's see who kills whom!"
After landing his punch, Lin Bai gripped the Spirit Severing Sword and charged forward.
Seeing that Lin Bai had developed murderous intent, Qin Meng cried out in panic, "Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life! I was only confused for a moment. Please don't kill me, don't kill me!"
"As long as you don't kill me, everything in the Soaring Heavens Alliance is yours."
"I have a great deal of spirit stones and treasure, as well as plenty of spirit flowers and spirit herbs."
"Oh, right! There are also more than a hundred respectable women I abducted from the villages below the mountain in my cave dwelling. Half of them are still virgins. I haven't touched them yet."
"If you like them, I'll give them all to you."
The martial artists of the Soaring Heavens Alliance all thought that the old Alliance Master was cultivating in seclusion.
But who could have imagined that, under the guise of seclusion, this old brute had been secretly abusing women?
In fact, Qin Meng had possessed this depraved hobby for many years. He loved to toy with women, and even many female martial artists within the Soaring Heavens Alliance had fallen victim to him.
"More than a hundred respectable women you abducted!" Lin Bai's eyes blazed with fury when he heard this.
"Yes, yes, yes! If you like them, they're all yours, all yours." Seeing that Lin Bai seemed interested, Qin Meng spoke as if he had grasped a straw that could save his life.
"Hehehe, your whole family truly deserves to die!"
Lin Bai gritted his teeth, shot forward, and decisively killed Qin Meng with a single sword strike.
"Ugh... I gave you everything I had. Why are you still killing me?" Qin Meng stared at Lin Bai in disbelief.
Lin Bai said coldly, "After committing so many bestial acts, I truly regret not killing you sooner!"
"You! You'll die a horrible death!"
"Do you know who Zhao Rong is?"
Qin Meng gave a ferocious laugh before dying.
"Zhao Rong? Qin Xiang Tian's wife?" Lin Bai looked at Qin Meng curiously.
That woman, Zhao Rong, possessed astonishing poison techniques. In particular, her Five Venoms Palm had nearly caused Lin Bai to suffer.
"Hahaha! You'll be captured by the Five Venoms Sect, thrown into a venom pit, and condemned to eternal damnation!" After Qin Meng spat out his final words, he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
The Five Venoms Sect!
It was a huge evil sect within the Divine Martial Nation. They took pleasure in killing, and their methods were exceptionally cruel.
The Divine Martial Nation had once joined forces with the Four Great Sects to besiege them for years, yet had still failed to completely eradicate the Five Venoms Sect.
"Could Zhao Rong have ties to the Five Venoms Sect?" Lin Bai muttered suspiciously to himself.
"Old Alliance Master! Old Alliance Master!" Seeing the old Alliance Master die right before his eyes, Qi Sheng was so frightened that his soul nearly left his body.
Even Qin Meng, a first-level True Martial Realm warrior, had died at Lin Bai's hands. Qi Sheng was merely a Martial Dao Realm warrior—how could he possibly escape Lin Bai?
Instead, Qi Sheng rose from the ground and sneered coldly. "Lin Bai, do you think I'll kneel and beg for mercy? Dream on!"
"Even if I die, I will never kneel before you!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
With a furious roar, Qi Sheng charged forward.
"Enough noise!" Lin Bai raised his sword and sliced straight through Qi Sheng's throat, killing him.
Qi Sheng belonged to the Demon Slayer Alliance, yet was a spy for the Soaring Heavens Alliance.
Lin Bai would never show mercy to a traitor!
The battle at the Soaring Heavens Alliance lasted through the entire night.
It was not until the next morning that the raging fire consuming the Soaring Heavens Alliance gradually died down.
The martial artists throughout the Azure Spirit Mountain Range were shaken as well.
An alliance that had stood in the Azure Spirit Mountain Range for more than twenty years had vanished without a trace in a single night.
The Demon Slayer Alliance then seized all of the Soaring Heavens Alliance's territory with lightning speed.
Three days later, the turmoil caused by the destruction of the Soaring Heavens Alliance finally subsided throughout the Azure Spirit Mountain Range.
The Demon Slayer Alliance became the largest martial artist alliance in the Azure Spirit Mountain Range.
Tie Feng's loyalty and righteousness attracted many martial artists to join, and the Demon Slayer Alliance rapidly expanded to a terrifying scale.
"Are you leaving today?" Tie Feng walked out of the Demon Slayer Alliance's canyon alongside Lin Bai.
"More or less. I've been out for two months, and I've done everything I dared to do. Now it's time to return and settle accounts with my enemies." Lin Bai smiled as he spoke.
"All right. You really aren't going to say goodbye to Haitang?" Tie Feng asked with a frown.
"Forget it. It's hard to meet, and parting is just as hard. If I say goodbye to her, I'm afraid I'll only break her heart again."
"Alliance Master, please give her my farewell." Lin Bai cupped his fists.
"All right. Lin Bai, I'm afraid that after we part today, we may never see each other again. I wish you smooth progress in the Martial Dao and that you'll rise straight into the clouds." Tie Feng smiled.
"Thank you. I won't forget the Azure Spirit Mountain Range. If I get the chance, I'll come back to visit."
Lin Bai smiled.
"I'm off!"
Lin Bai set out lightly equipped.
He mounted the horse Tie Feng had prepared and rode away into the distance.
"Lin Zier, I'm back."
As Lin Bai left the Azure Spirit Mountain Range, Tie Haitang also packed her belongings and quietly slipped out of the Demon Slayer Alliance. "Hmph, hmph. The man I've set my sights on thinks he can escape my grasp? No chance."
Spirit Rhino City, the Ye Family.
Lin Taiheng gently knocked on Lin Zier's door and asked, "Zier, have you emerged from seclusion? The discipleship ceremony is tomorrow. Don't be late."
The door opened, revealing a girl in purple. She smiled and said, "Father, how could I possibly delay something this important?"
"Rest assured, Father. I've already broken through to the ninth level of the Martial Dao. At tomorrow's discipleship ceremony, I only need to reveal my fifth-grade Heaven Rank martial spirit. The Four Great Sects of the Divine Martial Nation will surely fight to take me as a disciple."
"Hahaha, good, good. As long as you enter the Azure Cloud Terrace Palace, even if Lin Duo returns, he won't dare do anything to you!" Lin Taiheng smiled in satisfaction.
"Lin Duo? Hmph, what is he worth? He's no longer my target. My target is the vast sea of stars." Lin Zier spoke with soaring ambition.
Lin Taiheng was deeply pleased by his daughter's ambition.
"But you must be careful of Lin Bai," Lin Taiheng reminded her.
"Don't worry, Father. As long as Lin Bai dares to show himself, I'll make sure he comes to tomorrow's discipleship ceremony but never leaves!" Lin Zier said with complete confidence.
"I'll make him understand the difference between a Yellow Rank One martial spirit and a fifth-grade Heaven Rank martial spirit!"
Spirit Rhino City, the Ye Family!
Ye Rulong walked out of the secret chamber.
"Rulong, how did it go? Have you broken through to the ninth level of the Martial Dao?" an elderly man asked anxiously.
Ye Rulong was the Ye Family's foremost genius. The martial spirit he awakened two months ago was a first-grade Profound Grade martial spirit.
If not for the existence of that monstrous Lin Zier, Ye Rulong's martial spirit would have been the highest grade among Spirit Rhino City's younger generation.
"Father, rest assured. I've already broken through to the ninth level of the Martial Dao." Ye Rulong smiled.
"Good. As long as you possess ninth-level Martial Dao cultivation and a first-grade Profound Grade martial spirit, entering one of the Four Great Sects shouldn't be difficult," Ye Rulong's father said.
Spirit Rhino City, the Tang Family.
Spirit Rhino City, the Sun Family.
Spirit Rhino City, the Zhao Family.
At the same time, all the great families in Spirit Rhino City were preparing for the Four Great Sects' discipleship tournament tomorrow.
And just then, a young man, wearing the stars and moon, walked into Spirit Rhino City.
