The Violetgold Tiger's twin claws were notoriously fearsome.
Roar—
With a furious roar, the Violetgold Tiger's eyes glowed green as it pounced at Lin Bai!
"Go to hell!"
Lin Bai raised the Spirit Severing Sword, and its fierce radiance struck the Violetgold Tiger in the abdomen. Blood sprayed in all directions.
After the Violetgold Tiger landed, it let out a pained whimper.
Yet even grievously wounded, the Violetgold Tiger still had no intention of leaving. Instead, it fixed Lin Bai with a pair of savage eyes.
"These monsters were captured by Spirit Rhino City, starved for half a month, and only then released into Sky Ghost Valley. Looks like this Violetgold Tiger was starved half to death and can't wait to eat me!"
Bang!
The Violetgold Tiger attacked again, swiping its paw and snapping the thick tree beside Lin Bai clean in half!
"One Sword Bloodspray!"
Taking advantage of the opening, Lin Bai reversed his grip and thrust straight for the Violetgold Tiger's head.
Hum—
A faint sword hum trembled through the air, and the Violetgold Tiger's massive head was cleaved off by Lin Bai in one stroke.
The enormous tiger head rolled across the ground amid a wash of blood.
With a smile, Lin Bai bent down and picked up the token from the ground, placing it into his Storage Bag. "One point secured."
"Lin Zier must have gone to the Northwest Mountain Range."
"It's time to settle the score with her!"
Lin Bai ran toward the Northwest Mountain Range, murderous intent surging from him.
"I've finally found you!"
After Lin Bai had taken only a few steps forward, a group of martial artists suddenly emerged from the forest.
At the front was a youth wearing a cruel sneer as he walked toward Lin Bai.
Ye Rulong!
After entering Sky Ghost Valley, Ye Rulong had not gone hunting monsters or collecting tokens.
Instead, he had brought the Ye Family's martial artists with him and frantically searched for Lin Bai's whereabouts.
"Roll if you don't want to die!" Lin Bai said, staring at Ye Rulong.
At present, Lin Bai truly had no interest in entangling himself with Ye Rulong.
His killing intent toward Lin Zier had now reached its peak.
That murderous impulse was already impossible to suppress!
"Hahaha, ridiculous. Lin Bai, I have more than a dozen experts at the Martial Dao Ninth Level here."
"Do you really think you can escape today?"
"You want to die? I came here today to kill you!"
Ye Rulong let out a cold laugh. "Brothers, kill him! Whoever stabs Lin Bai gets a generous reward from me!"
Upon hearing Ye Rulong's shout,
the martial artists stared at Lin Bai as if they had been injected with chicken blood, twisting and loosening their limbs.
"Young Master Ye, just watch. We'll show you how we deal with this brat."
"He's just a cripple. Why would Young Master Ye need to act personally? We're more than enough!"
"Attack!"
More than a dozen martial artists at the Martial Dao Ninth Level charged toward Lin Bai in unison.
In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Lin Bai. Axes, halberds, hooks, forks, blades, spears, swords, and halberds came crashing toward him from all sides.
"Edgeless Sword!"
"Python Ox Fist!"
"Heaven-Wasting Leg!"
One vicious martial technique after another came hurtling toward him.
A gale swept through the forest, carrying a terrifying force.
"Since you're all seeking the Path of Death, I'll grant it to you!"
"One Sword Bloodspray."
Now that they had already crossed swords, Lin Bai had no reason to show mercy.
The Spirit Severing Sword left its sheath, and a scarlet sword light swept across the field.
The martial artist attacking from closest by had his throat cleaved apart in one stroke, and blood immediately sprayed into the air.
"Ugh—!"
"I don't want to die..."
The martial artists who had charged fastest were the first to take Lin Bai's sword. Their eyes widened in terror, and they clutched their throats unwillingly before collapsing into pools of blood.
"Rivers of Blood!"
After killing several martial artists with one stroke, Lin Bai stepped forward and brought his sword down again.
With a wet splatter,
the remaining martial artists collapsed into pools of blood. Their bodies spasmed a few times before they died.
"A bunch of useless trash! I still have to act personally!" Ye Rulong roared furiously.
"Starfall Swordplay, Star Chasing and Moon Snatching!"
When Ye Rulong saw Lin Bai kill the martial artists he had brought with him as swiftly as thunder, he could no longer restrain his murderous intent.
He drew his sharp sword and thrust it at Lin Bai.
The sword came as fast as lightning. Its radiance condensed into a single point of starlight, piercing through heaven and earth as it sought to run straight through Lin Bai's throat.
"Get lost!"
Lin Bai gave a low, furious shout and shattered Ye Rulong's attack.
"You have some ability, but that little bit of ability is far from enough before me!"
"Just wait to die!"
"Starfall Swordplay, Stars in Radiant Splendor!"
Sword light burst forth from Ye Rulong's sweeping strike. Thousands upon thousands of sword lights descended from the sky like stars falling from the Ninth Heaven, carrying terrifying power as they smashed toward Lin Bai.
Lin Bai's brows rose, and he inwardly cried out that something was wrong. He immediately flashed backward.
The instant Lin Bai retreated, that rain of meteoric swords flattened everything within ten meters before him.
"Starfall Swordplay, Starfall!"
"With this sword, I'll definitely take your life!"
Seeing Lin Bai evade his sword techniques again and again, Ye Rulong flew into a rage and directly unleashed the strongest move in Starfall Swordplay—Starfall.
Starfall Swordplay was a hereditary secret art of the Ye Family, a Profound Grade First-Class martial technique.
In particular, its final move, Starfall, possessed power at the level of a Profound Grade Second-Class technique. Its might was utterly terrifying.
"Thunder God Sword!"
Facing such a vicious sword, Lin Bai advanced instead of retreating. Lightning blazed along his sword as he clashed head-on with it.
Boom!
The Thunder God Sword directly severed the sharp blade in Ye Rulong's hand. Lightning struck Ye Rulong in the chest, blasting him a hundred meters away. He crashed to the ground and spat blood.
"This martial technique is at least Profound Grade Second-Class!"
"Impossible! How could a cripple like you have obtained such an advanced martial technique?"
Lying on the ground, Ye Rulong spoke in utter shock.
"Hmph. Want to know? Go to the underworld and ask King Yama."
Lin Bai shot forward, cold light blanketing his sword.
"Lin Bai, how dare you kill me?"
Seeing the killing intent rise in Lin Bai, Ye Rulong immediately shouted furiously, "I'm a martial artist of the Ye Family! I'm the sole son of the Ye Family's patriarch! If you dare kill me, my father will make sure you die a miserable death!"
"If you know what's good for you, kneel and beg for mercy!"
"Enough noise!" Lin Bai glared at Ye Rulong impatiently.
Killing intent revealed itself in his eyes, making him seem like a demon god from hell.
When Ye Rulong saw that he could not frighten Lin Bai, he hurriedly changed his tune. "Big Brother Lin Bai, Big Brother Lin Bai, please don't kill me. Don't kill me... Ugh!"
"Lin Bai, you're ruthless!"
Lin Bai raised his sword and cleaved Ye Rulong's throat apart.
With that, Ye Rulong collapsed into a pool of blood and unwillingly closed his eyes.
"Lin Zier, I'm coming!"
After dealing with the nuisance that was Ye Rulong, Lin Bai did not even turn his head as he sped toward the Northwest Mountain Range.
Two hours later, Lin Bai finally reached the Northwest Mountain Range without stopping for even a moment.
At that moment, Lin Bai saw many martial artists lingering at the foot of the mountain, not daring to ascend.
"My heavens, Lin Zier took more than two hundred martial artists up there. Looks like those more than one hundred monsters are doomed."
"Don't underestimate those monsters. It's not certain that Lin Zier can deal with them."
"Those monsters are all at the Martial Dao Ninth Level. They're extremely difficult to kill."
Many martial artists stood at the foot of the mountain, afraid to go up.
Lin Bai walked over and asked, "Has Lin Zier gone up?"
"Yes, Lin Zier took more than two hundred martial artists up there. Brother, I advise you not to go up. It's useless. You won't even get a sip of the soup."
"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you! I told you not to go up!"
The martial artist tried to persuade Lin Bai.
But as soon as Lin Bai heard that Lin Zier was above, he ran up the Northwest Mountain Range without even turning his head.
"It's time to end this!"
