What do you have to compete with me?

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

"Second brother!!!"

"Roar!!!"

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

Only Old Master Bai remained rational. With a grim expression, he walked back to the study.

Shen Lin shoved aside the corpse of the second son of the Bai family, casually tossing his head aside.

"Good, you've come!"

With a loud 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 bull. Among the three white foxes, she emanated the most potent demonic energy.

The moment the saber descended, the tail behind the white fox protected its upper body.

The Bai fox clan's entire skill set resided in this single tail.

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

With a clang, the saber struck the fox tail, even sparking.

"Die!"

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

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

Boom!

Shen Lin's Qi and Blood Force surged within him, the immense power directly crushing the fox demon to the ground.

The saber couldn't break through the fox tail's defense, so Shen Lin used it like a club, relying on the surging Qi and Blood Force within him to 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 inexplicably increased her speed, exceeding Shen Lin's expectations. Her silver-white tail stabbed towards his back.

At this moment, her demonic energy surged, and her sharp claws faintly glowed with black light.

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

Her current demonic energy was almost comparable to that of the Opening Meridians Realm wolf demon from before.

Almost, but not quite.

She still hadn't reached the Opening Meridians Realm.

Dodging her sneak attack, Shen Lin twisted his wrist, his long saber slashing horizontally. All the Qi and Blood Force within him erupted.

Swish!

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

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

Kicking away the little fox cub trying to bite his heel, Shen Lin flicked the blood from his 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, lost all reason and charged forward, baring her fangs and claws.

Shen Lin bent slightly, dodging her sharp claws and fox tail.

Then, he thrust his long saber upwards diagonally.

With a squelch, it pierced directly into her chest.

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

Blood gushed out, dyeing the ground red.

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

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

It seemed the old man had consumed that spiritual herb.

It was originally meant for the second son, capable of helping him open two demonic meridians at once.

What a pity...

But if the old man consumed the spiritual herb and could open two demonic meridians...

He should be able to... avenge her...

With her last thought, Madam Bai closed her eyes.

Old Master Bai, who had just rushed out, saw this scene and his eyes split in rage.

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 attacked with his treasured sword.

Raising his long saber, Shen Lin also slashed out.

Clang! The saber and sword were both repelled.

A hint of surprise appeared on both their faces simultaneously.

Old Master Bai was puzzled. How could Shen Lin block this sword strike?

The previous blow to his chest had already made him realize that Shen Lin was a Martial Artist of the Opening Meridians Realm.

But now, after consuming the spirit grass and using its potent medicinal effects, he had desperately broken through two demonic meridians.

Logically, each opened meridian should widen the gap in strength considerably.

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

Could it be that this fellow was also a Martial Artist who had opened two meridians?

At such a young age, with such cultivation... even Ah Hao back then...

"Old man, I didn't expect..." Shen Lin examined the long saber in front of his eyes, a hint of pleasant surprise on his face. "You have quite a few good things here."

The sabers wielded by these Constables were all Hundred Refined Steel Sabers specially forged by the county yamen's blacksmiths.

After all, ordinary iron tools would break after just a few strikes when encountering some powerful demonic creatures.

But now, the Hundred Refined Steel Saber in his hand had a conspicuous nick after just one clash with the opponent's long sword.

Despite the opponent wielding a sharp weapon, Shen Lin showed no fear.

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

This sword would soon become his trophy.

Old Master Bai saw through Shen Lin's intentions 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 lying on the ground and chuckled, "You mean like this?"

Old Master Bai instantly flew into a rage, his composure vanishing from his face. He thrust his sword forward.

"You're seeking death!!!"

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

But at this moment, in Shen Lin's mind, the experience of the "Wild Wind Sword Technique," cultivated to perfection over fifty-two years, flashed through his consciousness.

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, sealing off all of the opponent's variations with a single strike.

Screeeech!

The saber and sword seemed stuck together, sparks flying continuously from the friction.

"You..."

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

He hadn't expected that Shen Lin, despite his young age and superb saber skills, would also possess such formidable sword mastery.

He had seen through the flaws in his sword moves at a single glance.

Helpless, he gritted his teeth fiercely, his demonic energy boiling, preparing to break through skill with brute force.

But in the next moment, Shen Lin's body erupted with a Qi and Blood Force far stronger than his own.

The Qi and Blood Force within his four meridians surged out of his body without reservation. The formidable power directly overwhelmed Old Master Bai.

As the long saber pushed away the treasured sword, the broken blade directly sliced into 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.

"When it comes to strength, you're even more outmatched!"

Shen Lin's disdainful words landed on the ground along with Old Master Bai's head, making a resounding thud.
