What Are You Going to Fight Me With?

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

"Second Brother!!!"

"Roar!!!"

Amid wave after wave of shrill, anguished screams, all three generations of the family revealed their true forms and charged at Shen Lin.

Only Old Master Bai kept his wits about him. With a gloomy expression, he turned and walked back into the study.

Shen Lin shoved Second Young Master Bai's corpse aside and casually tossed his head away.

"Good! Come at me!"

With a thunderous shout, Shen Lin advanced instead of retreating and charged straight out.

His target was clear. He swung the long saber in his hand horizontally at it.

Madam Bai!

Her body was as large as a calf. Among the three white foxes, the demon aura emanating from her was the strongest.

The instant the saber descended, the tail behind the white fox shielded her from above.

The White Fox clan's entire arsenal of abilities lay in that single tail.

Its fur was as hard as steel needles. Not only was it tough, but it was also extraordinarily nimble when swung.

With a clang, the saber struck the fox's tail, unexpectedly sending sparks flying.

"Die!"

Madam Bai did not let this rare opportunity slip by. She extended her sharp claws and reached for Shen Lin's heart.

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

Boom!

Blood Qi Power surged within Shen Lin's body. His formidable strength slammed the fox demon toward the ground.

The saber failed to break through the fox's tail defenses, so Shen Lin simply used it as a club. Relying on the surging Blood Qi Power within him, he smashed his opponent to the ground.

Just as he raised his foot, intending to crush the fox demon's head, he suddenly sensed an intense feeling of danger.

He abruptly kicked off the ground and used the force to dodge to the side.

At some point, the white fox Qianqian had transformed into suddenly accelerated, surpassing Shen Lin's expectations. Her silvery-white tail stabbed toward his back.

At that moment, the demon aura around her surged violently, and a faint black light gleamed from her razor-sharp claws.

Who would have thought that among this nest of fox demons, the strongest would be the seemingly delicate and frail Qianqian?

The demon aura surrounding her was now almost comparable to that of the wolf demon who had previously reached the Meridian Opening Realm.

Only, it was merely almost comparable.

In the end, she still had not reached the Meridian Opening Realm.

After dodging her sneak attack, Shen Lin twisted his wrist and swung the saber horizontally. All the Blood Qi Power in his body erupted at once.

Swish!

The blade flashed, and a thin line sliced across Qianqian's mouth.

Madam Bai had just risen when she saw her own daughter lose half her head to Shen Lin's saber. Grief-stricken, she cried, "No!!!"

Shen Lin kicked away the little fox cub that was about to bite his heel, shook the blood from his saber, and wore an indifferent expression.

"Second!"

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

Madam Bai watched helplessly as both her son and daughter were cut down by Shen Lin. She had completely lost her reason and charged over with claws and fangs bared.

Shen Lin bent slightly, dodging his opponent's sharp claws and fox tail.

Then he thrust the saber in his hand diagonally upward.

With a wet burst, it plunged straight into her chest.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pressed his left hand against the back of the blade and shoved. Half of Madam Bai's body was cleaved open.

Blood gushed forth, dyeing the ground red.

Her enormous body collapsed helplessly, her long tongue lolling out of her mouth.

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

It looks like the old man took that spirit herb.

It was originally prepared by Eldest Brother for Second Brother. It could help him open two Demonic Meridians in one go.

What a pity...

But after taking the spirit herb, the old man can open two Demonic Meridians...

He should... be able to avenge me...

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

When Old Master Bai came rushing out and saw this scene, his eyes nearly split with rage.

In the space of a moment, his wife and two children had all died at Shen Lin's hands.

"You deserve to die!!!"

Old Master Bai did not reveal his true form. Instead, he wielded the treasured sword and slashed at Shen Lin.

Shen Lin raised his long saber and slashed back at the same time.

With a ringing clash, the saber and sword both flew back.

A trace of astonishment appeared on both their faces.

Old Master Bai was puzzled. How had Shen Lin blocked that sword?

The earlier slash to his chest had already made him realize that Shen Lin was a martial artist in the Meridian Opening Realm.

But now, he had swallowed the spirit herb and, relying on its immense medicinal power, forcibly opened two Demonic Meridians.

By rights, every meridian opened should widen the gap in strength considerably.

Yet the force transmitted through the sword just now had been on par with his own.

Could it be that this fellow was also a martial artist who had opened two meridians?

At such an age and with such cultivation—even Eldest Brother back then...

"Old thing, I didn't expect..." Shen Lin brought the long saber before his eyes and examined it. A hint of delight appeared on his face as he said, "You've got quite a few good things here."

The sabers carried by constables like them were all hundred-forged steel blades specially made by the blacksmiths of the County Yamen.

After all, ordinary iron weapons would be damaged after just a few strikes against certain powerful demons.

Yet now, his hundred-forged steel saber had merely clashed once with the opponent's longsword, and a conspicuous notch had already appeared in it.

Even though his opponent held a sharp weapon, Shen Lin felt no fear at all.

Instead, he gazed greedily at the longsword 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. "In a moment, this sword will split open your chest and dig out your heart and lungs..."

Before he could finish his threat, Shen Lin casually pointed his saber at Madam Bai lying on the ground and smiled. "You mean like this?"

Old Master Bai instantly flew into a rage. The composure vanished from his face, and he thrust his sword forward.

"You're courting death!!!"

This sword thrust came from an extremely tricky angle. Even if Shen Lin blocked it with his saber, there were follow-up changes that could continue the attack.

But at that moment, the experience of the Gale Sword Technique, which he had spent fifty-two years practicing to perfection, surfaced in Shen Lin's mind piece by piece.

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

"Sword techniques, huh... It's not as if I don't know any!"

As his calm words fell, Shen Lin swung his saber. With a single stroke, he sealed off every possible variation in his opponent's attack.

Scrape!

The saber and sword seemed to stick together, sparks flying incessantly as they ground against each other.

"You..."

With his subsequent moves sealed off, Old Master Bai felt unbearably stifled.

He had not expected that, while Shen Lin's saber techniques were astonishing for someone so young, his attainments in swordsmanship were equally formidable.

He had actually seen through the flaw in his sword technique at a glance.

Left with no choice, he fiercely bit down and let his demon aura boil, preparing to overcome finesse with sheer force.

But in the next instant, the Blood Qi Power erupting from Shen Lin was vastly stronger than his own.

The Blood Qi Power within four meridians surged out of Shen Lin's body without reserve. That mighty force directly overwhelmed Old Master Bai.

As the long saber knocked the treasured sword aside, its battered blade cleaved straight into Old Master Bai's neck.

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

"When it comes to strength, you're even less of a match!"

Shen Lin's disdainful words landed on the ground together with Old Master Bai's head, ringing out with weight.
