"Is this the Azure Spirit Mountain Range?"
"Alright, the journey begins!"
Grasping the Spirit Severing Sword tightly, Lin Bai walked directly into the Azure Spirit Mountain Range, heading straight for the location of the Spirit-Bearing Fruit according to the map Ye Suxin gave him.
Roar!
Having only walked a few steps, Lin Bai heard some movement in the jungle ahead.
Lin Bai quickly put away the map, fixed his eyes forward, and from the weeds in front of him, a lithe Black Scale Leopard pounced out like a hungry tiger.
"Black Scale Leopard!"
Seeing the leopard pounce out, Lin Bai was first startled, then a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Since you've come to my door to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
The Black Scale Leopard is covered in black scales, making it difficult for ordinary weapons to penetrate. It is a True Martial Realm level three demonic beast, a good match for Lin Bai!
Dodging the Black Scale Leopard's swift attack, Lin Bai quickly drew the Spirit Severing Sword, and a sword light danced up, hitting the Black Scale Leopard's abdomen and cutting a bloody mark.
"A first-grade spirit weapon, although it is the lowest level weapon, its power is not bad."
A successful strike made Lin Bai feel delighted.
"Let's try the Blood Weeping Swordplay."
The Blood Weeping Swordplay has a total of five stances.
First stance, One Sword Bloodspray.
Second stance, Rivers of Blood.
Third stance, Bloody Tempest.
Fourth stance, Cold-Blooded Strike.
Fifth stance, Ten Steps, One Kill.
Having arrived at the Azure Spirit Mountain Range, Lin Bai spent a day diligently studying the Blood Weeping Swordplay.
Upon arriving at the Azure Spirit Mountain Range, Lin Bai successfully practiced the first stance with one sword strike.
"Roar—" The Black Scale Leopard was injured by Lin Bai's sword, furious, and roared as it pounced again.
Its ferocious claws attacked Lin Bai's chest as if to tear apart the sky.
"Beast, you dare to clamor!"
"One Sword Bloodspray!"
Whoosh—
A sword as fast as lightning streaked across the air, leaving a blood-red crescent sword light.
With a poof, the sword fell, instantly decapitating the Black Scale Leopard.
The Black Scale Leopard, separated from its head, fell to the ground.
After killing the Black Scale Leopard, Lin Bai was slightly happy, and then he activated the Devouring Sword Soul.
"Devouring Sword Soul, devour!"
Lin Bai pressed his palm towards the Black Scale Leopard's body from a distance, and the blood in the Black Scale Leopard's body quickly evaporated, turning into wisps of blood-red smoke, which merged into Lin Bai's body.
The Devouring Sword Soul devoured the Black Scale Leopard's Bloodline Power, removing impurities and leaving only the purest Bloodline Power for Lin Bai to absorb.
The so-called Bloodline Power is the condensation of the essence of a demonic beast's entire body, including essence, energy, spirit, true energy, bloodline, and other elements.
Bloodline Power is not only present in demonic beasts, but also in martial artists...
However, the Devouring Sword Soul did not say that it could devour the Bloodline Power of martial artists, so Lin Bai did not dare to try it rashly.
"The Devouring Sword Soul is indeed powerful. After only absorbing the Black Scale Leopard's Bloodline Power, the true energy I just consumed has been replenished, and I can also feel the advancement of my cultivation realm!"
This was only a level three martial arts demonic beast, and it already made Lin Bai feel the advancement of his cultivation. There were as many demonic beasts in this Azure Spirit Mountain Range that were more powerful than the Black Scale Leopard as there were hairs on an ox. If he killed them all, Lin Bai could hardly imagine what terrifying level his realm would reach!
Before leaving, Lin Bai hid the Black Scale Leopard's body.
Although there was no demon blood, the Black Scale Leopard's flesh and bones were still good materials for refining first-grade spirit weapons. Selling them in Spirit Rhino City would be worth a hundred taels of silver.
Lin Bai planned to find all the hunted demonic beast bodies when he was about to leave the Azure Spirit Mountain Range and return to Spirit Rhino City for supplies, and take them back to Spirit Rhino City to sell together.
"Half a month, and I've finally found it!"
Half a month later, Lin Bai looked at the mountain in front of him, covered in a mess.
This place was the location of the Spirit-Bearing Fruit marked on the map.
During these two weeks, Lin Bai had almost scoured half of the Azure Spirit Mountain Range, killing more than a hundred demonic beasts, which allowed Lin Bai's martial arts cultivation to be promoted to the fourth level of martial arts.
"Hopefully the Spirit-Bearing Fruit is ripe."
Lin Bai ran happily into the mountain, searching every inch of land from the foot of the mountain to the top, looking for the location of the Spirit-Bearing Fruit tree.
Finally, on the top of the mountain, on a cliff, Lin Bai saw a green, crooked-neck tree.
On this large tree, three crimson fruits hung from the branches.
"Spirit-Bearing Fruits!"
Arriving at the cliff, Lin Bai looked at the three fruits with excitement.
"If the cultivation resources my father left behind hadn't been seized, I could have as many Spirit-Bearing Fruits of this level as I wanted." Lin Bai said resentfully in his heart, his hatred for Lin Zier and Lin Taiheng growing even stronger.
Climbing the crooked tree, Lin Bai approached the three Spirit-Bearing Fruits.
Just at that moment, a startling cry of a bird echoed from the sky.
Lin Bai turned his head in surprise and saw a huge eagle swooping down from the highest point of the sky, its sharp beak and claws aimed directly at Lin Bai.
"A White-Headed Eagle at the fifth level of the True Martial Realm!" Lin Bai exclaimed, hastily abandoning the impulse to pick the Spirit-Bearing Fruits. He jumped down from the tree, drew the Spirit Severing Sword, and prepared to counterattack.
This White-Headed Eagle was not easy to deal with. It was a tyrant of the skies, with extremely fast flight speed. A light touch from its beak and claws could tear off a large chunk of flesh.
Moreover, it was a demonic beast at the fifth level of the True Martial Realm, one level higher than Lin Bai's martial cultivation.
"I'll risk it! So what if it's at the fifth level of the True Martial Realm? Those who stand in my way shall die!"
Watching the White-Headed Eagle swoop down, unstoppable.
A cold, bloody light flashed in Lin Bai's eyes.
"One Sword Bloodspray!"
With a backhand strike, he aimed directly at the White-Headed Eagle's abdomen, intending to cut it open!
The White-Headed Eagle was startled and quickly twisted its body, avoiding Lin Bai's sword.
"Beast, you think you can escape?" Lin Bai saw that the White-Headed Eagle's sneak attack had failed and it was trying to flee. Instantly, a monstrous bloody light erupted from the Spirit Severing Sword.
"Second Form, Rivers of Blood!"
The second form of the Blood Weeping Swordplay, Rivers of Blood!
Puchi!
The bloody sword light struck the White-Headed Eagle's wing, spraying a burst of fresh blood in mid-air.
The White-Headed Eagle let out a shrill scream, and its body fell rapidly from the sky.
"Hmph, trying to fight me!" Lin Bai saw the White-Headed Eagle falling from a height of several meters, certain that it would be smashed into bloody paste, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But who would have thought that when the White-Headed Eagle was only three feet above Lin Bai's head, its wings suddenly flapped, stabilizing its body again. Instead, it turned defeat into attack, flipping over and striking at Lin Bai's head with a claw.
"Not good!"
Lin Bai cried out in alarm, his scalp tingling.
"Bloody Tempest!"
The third form of the Blood Weeping Swordplay, Bloody Tempest.
A wave of bloody wind gathered around Lin Bai, as he unleashed a sword strike.
The boundless storm enveloped the White-Headed Eagle, and with a tremor of the vortex, the White-Headed Eagle screamed miserably. Its white feathers were quickly dyed red, and its flesh was torn into three or four pieces in an instant by this sword, falling to the ground.
"Beast, you almost got me!" Lin Bai looked at the White-Headed Eagle's corpse, secretly shocked. If he hadn't already mastered the third form of the Blood Weeping Swordplay, he probably wouldn't have escaped death from this White-Headed Eagle's sudden attack!
After the Devouring Sword Soul quickly devoured the White-Headed Eagle's demonic blood, Lin Bai walked towards the Spirit-Bearing Fruit tree.
"The demonic blood of a White-Headed Eagle at the fifth level of the True Martial Realm is indeed much more powerful than those demonic beasts at the third or fourth level." Lin Bai smiled happily, walked to the Spirit-Bearing Fruit tree, and picked off the three Spirit-Bearing Fruits.
"Three Spirit-Bearing Fruits should be enough for me to break through to the True Martial Realm, right?"
Lin Bai smiled joyfully.
"Boy, the Soaring Heavens Alliance has taken a fancy to the fruits in your hand!"
Just as Lin Bai was rejoicing, a cold laugh came from behind him.
