Bounty of Ten Thousand for a Head

Chapter 44: Bounty of 10,000 for a Head

With a single sword strike, Lin Bai shattered the attacks of the twenty-odd people.

"Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish!"

The Spirit Severing Sword emanated an endless chilling light as Lin Bai darted forward like a ghost. He swept his sword out, unleashing a crescent-shaped arc of sword energy.

He cleaved the heads off several martial artists who had attacked him.

"One sword, blood spatter."

Another ruthless strike.

"Bastard, you dare kill my men! You're asking for death!" Fang Mo roared in fury, seeing Lin Bai kill over a dozen people with a single sword strike.

He gripped a short blade and slashed at Lin Bai. The saber energy raged like the creation of the world.

"Petty tricks!"

Lin Bai sneered, watching Fang Mo's fierce strike.

"Bloodless Sword!"

The sword struck, instantly piercing Fang Mo's chest and shattering his heart.

"How could your swordsmanship be so strong!" Fang Mo collapsed to the ground, convulsing a few times before dying.

"Senior Brother Fang Mo is dead."

"What do we do?"

"Even Senior Brother Fang Mo was killed by him, aren't we…"

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, don't kill me! I'm willing to follow you forever, to be your slave."

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Lin Bai, please spare me."

Lin Bai's heart softened as he looked at the kneeling, pleading figures before him. "If you dare appear before me again, I will surely kill you," he said.

"Get lost."

Lin Bai roared coldly.

"Yes, yes, Senior Brother Lin Bai is handsome, dashing, and extraordinary. All the top ten New Talent Kings will submit beneath Senior Brother Lin Bai's sword."

"That's right, that's right, Senior Brother Lin Bai is simply too handsome."

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, I love you to death."

Before leaving, the group of martial artists didn't forget to flatter Lin Bai.

Then, they scurried into the forest and disappeared.

"You shouldn't have let them go. They'll definitely go back to report. Fang Mo's elder brother is one of the top ten New Talent Kings!"

Qi Shaolong had thought Lin Bai would kill them all, but he didn't expect Lin Bai to let them go.

Lin Bai felt a pang of regret.

"It doesn't matter. If they dare provoke me, I'll make sure they never return."

Lin Bai said with a grim expression.

"Shaolong, Tiedan, Xu Shangjie has put a bounty on my head. Staying with you will only bring trouble."

"Let's part ways for now then."

Lin Bai suggested.

Although Qi Shaolong was reluctant to separate from Lin Bai, Tiedan's Martial Dao cultivation was too low, and Qi Shaolong also had to protect Tiedan. Staying with Lin Bai would undoubtedly be a burden.

"Then you must be careful," Qi Shaolong reminded him.

"Big Brother Lin Bai, it's okay if you can't beat them. When Tiedan gets stronger, I'll avenge you," Tiedan said, clenching his fist.

In the past few days, Tiedan had also noticed that Yellow Grade Five was bullied every day. If Lin Bai wasn't strong enough, the people of Yellow Grade Five would probably be dead.

From that moment on, Tiedan resolved to become stronger.

Qi Shaolong felt the same way.

Qi Shaolong was originally combative and competitive. At home, Qi Shaolong was the strongest disciple, but when he came to the Spirit Sword Sect, he didn't even make it into the top ten New Talent Kings.

This made Qi Shaolong feel frustrated, and he vowed to cultivate diligently and make a name for himself in the Spirit Sword Sect.

"Alright, take care. If you're in danger, you must escape and come back to tell me. I'll help you get revenge."

Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Hahaha, it's good to have a New Talent King backing you. You don't have to be afraid of anyone when you go out," Qi Shaolong laughed heartily.

"Take care."

The three exchanged farewells.

Lin Bai headed east, while Qi Shaolong took Tiedan south.

"Xu Shangjie, you dare put a bounty on my head? Are you tired of living?"

Lin Bai's killing intent rose, and he entered the forest with his sword.

He hadn't walked more than a few steps when another group of martial artists rushed out of the forest. Seeing Lin Bai, they were first surprised, then overjoyed, saying, "You're Lin Bai? Xu Shangjie offered a bounty of ten thousand Spirit Stones to kill you. Looks like I, Zhao Suan, will be the one to get it today."

Xu Shangjie, a disciple of the Imperial Xu Family, was rich and generous, offering ten thousand Spirit Stones to kill Lin Bai.

"Come if you want to die!"

Lin Bai raised the Spirit Severing Sword and said with an unkind expression.

"Hahaha, there are more than twenty of us here, you don't think you can escape, do you?" Zhao Suan laughed wildly, "Brothers, go! Cut off his head, and we'll go to Xu Shangjie for the Spirit Stones."

"Alright!" The other martial artists shouted in unison, revealing their weapons and attacking Lin Bai.

Whoosh!

Seeing these people attacking, Lin Bai narrowed his eyes, revealing his killing intent.

Blood Weeping Swordplay frantically reaped souls.

A moment later.

"Spare me! Spare me, Lin Bai." Zhao Suan fell into a pool of blood with a look of horror, constantly begging Lin Bai for mercy.

"I won't kill you, but you're going to deliver a message to Xu Shangjie." Lin Bai stared at Zhao Suan with cold eyes.

"Go tell Xu Shangjie to wash his neck and wait, I will definitely come and take his head!"

Zhao Suan panicked and said in terror, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely tell him, I will definitely tell him."

"Get lost!"

Lin Bai roared.

Zhao Suan hurriedly got up and scrambled away from Lin Bai's sword.

Lin Bai looked back at the corpses all over the ground, blood flowing like a river: "Xu Shangjie, wait for me, I will definitely come and kill you."

At this moment, Lin Bai's killing intent towards Xu Shangjie had risen.

Since this person offered a bounty to kill him, how could Lin Bai be someone who would take a beating without retaliating?

"Since you want to kill me, then I won't let you live long either."

Lin Bai walked into the forest, his killing intent soaring.

In the quiet mountains, beast roars shook the sky.

More than seven hundred disciples were constantly searching for Demon Beasts to seize tokens.

Although Lin Bai had just taken action and killed martial artists, none of them had a single token in their storage spaces.

These people actually wanted to kill Lin Bai from the start to get the ten thousand Spirit Stones.

On the eastern mountainside, Lin Bai slashed a roaring tiger under his sword with one strike.

"Ten tokens, that's considered completing the assessment. Now it's time to settle accounts with Xu Shangjie."

"You want to kill me? How could I let you live long?"

Lin Bai put away the tenth token and turned to walk down the cliff.

"Lin Bai, I actually ran into you. Heaven is really taking care of me!"

Just as he was descending the mountain, Lin Bai saw a young man at Martial Dao Ninth Level Peak walking out of the forest.

"Hmph, Lin Bai, do you want me to kill you? Or will you kneel down and wait for death?"

The young man said in a cold voice.

Lin Bai glanced at him sideways: "Do you think you're a True Martial Realm martial artist, daring to clamor in front of me!"

"Die!"

Lin Bai sent out a sword, hitting the man's chest.

With one sword, the man spat out blood.

"Lin Bai, don't kill me, don't kill me."

Seeing that Lin Bai's swordsmanship was so powerful, the man hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Tell me, where is Xu Shangjie?" Lin Bai asked.
