Lin Bai rode his flying sword, speeding straight toward the direction in which the Soul-Reaping Leader had fled. Three hours later, he still had not found any trace of the Soul-Reaping Leader in this wilderness.
"His movement technique and concealment methods are truly impressive. He even managed to disappear where I couldn't find him!"
"Looks like the assassins of the Faceless Ones aren't frauds trading on empty reputations after all!"
Lin Bai remarked indifferently.
At that moment, Lin Bai saw rows of ocher trees between the mountains ahead. Not a single one had green leaves.
Lin Bai flew over on his sword, wanting to see whether the Soul-Reaping Leader was hiding in this forest of yellow trees.
But the moment Lin Bai stepped into the woods—
Suddenly.
Lin Bai felt a powerful crisis of life and death.
When Lin Bai turned around, a huge ocher serpent shot up from the ground. It opened its bloody maw and lunged at Lin Bai.
The ocher serpent blended perfectly into the terrain here, and Lin Bai had not noticed it at all. Now that it suddenly attacked, he was caught completely off guard.
Fortunately, the serpent's cultivation was not high. It was only at the first level of the Death Reversal Realm.
Lin Bai was just about to draw his sharp sword and kill the serpent.
At that moment, a booming shout came from afar: "Brother, watch out!"
As the voice rang out, a burly man came charging over. He wore tiger hide on his lower body and nothing on his upper body, exposing his sturdy chest and perfectly streamlined muscles. His face was fierce, and he rushed forward, striking the serpent squarely on the crown of its head.
Bang!
The man possessed tremendous strength. With one punch, he smashed the serpent's head
