What are you going to use to compete with me?

"My son!!! You deserve to die!!!"

"Second Brother!!!"

"ROAR!!!"

Amidst piercing screams, the three generations of the Bai family revealed their true forms and charged at Shen Lin.

Only Old Master Bai, however, did not lose his mind. With a grim expression, he walked back into his study.

Shen Lin shoved aside the corpse of Bai family's second son and casually tossed its head aside.

"Good timing!"

With a booming shout, Shen Lin didn't retreat but advanced, charging forward.

His target was clear, his long saber slashing horizontally towards his objective.

Madam Bai!

Her body was as large as a calf. Among the three white foxes, she radiated the most potent demonic energy.

The moment the saber descended, her tail shielded the area above her.

In the Bai fox clan, all their skills resided in this single tail.

Its fur was like steel needles, not only tough but also incredibly agile when swung.

Clang! The long saber struck the fox tail, actually sparking.

"Die!"

Madam Bai didn't miss this rare opportunity. Her sharp claws extended, aiming for Shen Lin's heart.

But in the next instant, a powerful force came from the long saber.

Boom!

Shen Lin's vital energy surged within him, the immense force directly slamming the Fox Demon to the ground.

Since the saber couldn't penetrate the tail's defense, Shen Lin simply used it like a club. Relying on the surging vital energy within him, he beat the opponent to the ground.

But just as he raised his foot, intending to crush the Fox Demon's head, he suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.

He stomped hard on the ground, using the force to dodge to the side.

Qianqian, transformed into a white fox, had somehow drastically increased her speed, exceeding Shen Lin's expectations. Her silver-white tail stabbed towards his back.

At this moment, the demonic energy radiating from her surged, her sharp claws faintly glowing with a black light.

He hadn't expected that among this nest of fox demons, the strongest would be this seemingly delicate Qianqian.

The demonic energy she possessed now was almost comparable to the Meridian Opening Realm wolf demon from before.

Almost, but not quite.

She still hadn't reached the Meridian Opening Realm.

Dodging her surprise attack, Shen Lin twisted his wrist, his long saber slashing horizontally as all the vital energy within him erupted.

Swish!

A flash of the saber, and a thin line appeared across Qianqian's mouth.

Madam Bai, just rising to her feet, saw her daughter's head half-severed by Shen Lin's saber. She cried out in grief, "No!!!"

Kicking away the little fox trying to bite his ankle, Shen Lin flicked the blood from his long saber, his expression indifferent.

"Second one!"

"I'll fight you to the death!!!"

Madam Bai, watching her son and daughter both fall to Shen Lin's blade, had lost all reason. She charged forward, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws.

Shen Lin slightly lowered his stance, dodging her sharp claws and fox tail.

Then, he thrust his long saber upwards diagonally.

Puchi! It pierced directly into her chest.

Without hesitation, he placed his left hand on the back of the blade and pushed, cleaving Madam Bai's body in half.

Blood gushed out, staining the ground.

Her massive body fell powerlessly, her long tongue lolling out of her mouth.

In her final glance, she saw her husband, his aura surging, charging out with the precious sword their eldest son had brought home last time.

It seemed the old man had consumed that spirit grass.

That was originally meant for their eldest son to help him open two demonic meridians at once.

What a pity...

But if the old man consumed the spirit grass and could open two demonic meridians...

He should be able to avenge her...

As her last thought faded, Madam Bai closed her eyes.

Old Master Bai, who had just rushed out, saw this scene and his eyes were about to split.

In just this short while, his wife and two children had all died by Shen Lin's hand.

"You deserve to die!!!"

Old Master Bai did not reveal his true form, but instead drew his Precious Sword and attacked.

Shen Lin raised his long saber and also slashed out.

Clang! The saber and sword both bounced away.

A hint of surprise appeared on both of their faces simultaneously.

Old Master Bai was somewhat confused as to why Shen Lin was able to block this sword strike.

From the previous strike to his chest, he had understood that Shen Lin was a Martial Artist in the Meridian Opening Realm.

But now, he had consumed the Spirit Grass, and using its potent medicinal effects, he had desperately opened two Demonic Meridians.

Logically speaking, with each opened meridian, the gap in strength would widen considerably.

Yet, the force transmitted through the sword just now was on par with his own.

Could it be that this guy had also opened two meridians?

At such a young age, with such cultivation, even Da Lang back then...

"Old man, I didn't expect..." Shen Lin brought his long saber closer to his eyes to examine it, a hint of pleasant surprise on his face as he said, "You have quite a few good things here."

The sabers used by them, the constables, were all hundred-refined steel sabers specially forged by the county yamen's blacksmith.

After all, ordinary iron tools would be damaged after only a few strikes against some powerful demonic creatures.

But now, his hundred-refined steel saber had a noticeable chip after just one collision with the opponent's long sword.

Even though the opponent wielded a sharp weapon, Shen Lin showed no fear.

Instead, he greedily eyed the long sword in the other's hand.

This sword would soon become his spoils of war.

Old Master Bai saw through Shen Lin's thoughts and sneered, "Later, this sword will pierce your chest and dig out your heart and lungs..."

Before his threatening words were finished, Shen Lin casually pointed his long saber at Madam Bai, who lay on the ground, and chuckled, "You mean like this?"

Old Master Bai instantly became enraged. The composure on his face vanished, and he thrust his sword forward.

"You're seeking death!!!"

This sword strike was at a tricky angle. Even if Shen Lin blocked it with his saber, there were follow-up variations that could continue the attack.

But at this moment, the experience of the "Gale Sword Technique," which he had spent fifty-two years to perfect to Perfection, flashed through Shen Lin's mind.

He saw through all the follow-up variations of the opponent's sword strike at a glance.

"Sword techniques... I'm not unfamiliar with them either!"

As his calm voice fell, Shen Lin swung his long saber, and with a single strike, he blocked all of the opponent's subsequent moves.

Screech!

The saber and sword seemed to stick together, constantly sparking as they scraped against each other.

"You..."

With his follow-up moves blocked, Old Master Bai felt incredibly uncomfortable.

He hadn't expected that Shen Lin, despite his young age, not only had superb saber skills but also possessed equally impressive sword techniques.

He had seen through the flaws in his sword moves with just a glance.

Helplessly, he gritted his teeth fiercely, his entire body's demonic energy surging as he prepared to break through skill with brute force.

But in the next moment, Shen Lin unleashed a surge of vital energy far more potent than his own.

The vital energy within his four meridians burst forth from his body without reservation, its formidable power directly overwhelming Old Master Bai.

As the long saber pushed the Precious Sword aside, its chipped blade directly slashed into the side of Old Master Bai's neck.

Shen Lin pulled back his hand, and the long saber, like a steel saw, directly severed Old Master Bai's head.

"In terms of strength, you're no match for me either!"

Shen Lin's disdainful words landed on the ground along with Old Master Bai's head, the sound echoing decisively.
