The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1397 - 1394: Five Demons of Canglong Mountain!

Chapter 1397: Chapter 1394: Five Demons of Canglong Mountain!

Zhuo Lian, Jing Shu, and Jiang Jing saw that both the Five Demons of Canglong Mountain and Zhu Lie had left the Lin Family, and immediately they were sweating bullets for Lin Bai.

These Five Demons of Canglong Mountain were extremely renowned in the Valley of Thousands Demons; originally, they were Beasts from the Canglong Mountain who had discovered Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects within the mountain, awakening their Spiritual Wisdom. Afterward, they cultivated, and the minds of the Five Demons were extremely sharp—on par with human Warriors, or even smarter.

Later, when Canglong Mountain faced slaughter from the Warriors, the Five Demons, with no other choice, sought refuge far away from the Litian Dynasty, arriving in the Valley of Thousands Demons in search of self-preservation. From then on, the Five Demons of Canglong Mountain became the most fearsome minions under the Destroying Mountain Demon Saint!

Within the Valley of Thousands Demons, the Five Demons of Canglong Mountain received the favor and cultivation from the Demolishing Mountain Demon Saint. They toiled relentlessly in their cultivation, and thus, within a short Hundred Year Period, their power reached a state close to the peak of the Yin Saint Realm!

In Dongshuang City, at the Zhang family’s residence.

Lin Bai took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag, only to discover it had lost its effect, "What’s going on here?"

This Sound Transmission Talisman was left to Lin Bai by Gui Jing. At the time, Lin Bai was invited over by the Lord of Purple Gold City as a guest in Purple Gold City, and Gui Jing had left the talisman for Lin Bai to find him after leaving the City Lord’s Mansion!

Thus, this Sound Transmission Talisman could directly contact Gui Jing.

At this moment, Lin Bai planned to inform Gui Jing about everything that had happened in Dongshuang City, but to his surprise, he discovered the talisman was ineffective here.

Lin Rong said, "This Bronze Door has the power to isolate the world. It prevents others from locating the Bronze Door, and within the Bronze Door, Warriors are unable to use any other sound transmission methods!"

After hearing this, Lin Bai turned around to leave the Bronze Door, "You stay hidden here well, I am going to notify the Elder of the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect; the Sect’s Elders will soon arrive in Dongshuang City."

"Brother, be careful!"

Lin Rong watched Lin Bai walk out and called out with a solemn expression.

After Lin Bai left the Bronze Door, he leapt up and burst forth from the lake.

Lin Bai held the Sound Transmission Talisman tightly in his hand, intending to instantly relay the message back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect as soon as he left the Bronze Door!

"Caw caw, I’ve been looking for you for half an hour, turns out you were here."

At the moment when Lin Bai burst out of the lake, a dry, mocking voice echoed in Lin Bai’s ears!

Lin Bai felt his skin crawl upon hearing this voice and suddenly turned his head to look, only to see a hunched-over black-robed elder standing atop a semi-collapsed roof in the distance!

Seeing Lin Bai, the elder’s sunken eyes flashed with piercing sharpness!

Lin Bai faced him, and instantly felt hair-raising power emanating from the elder, "Ninth Level of the Yin Saint Realm!"

Without another word, Lin Bai quickly turned around and used his movement technique to flee!

In the face of a Demon Clan Powerhouse at the Ninth Level of the Yin Saint Realm, Lin Bai was no match for him!

The moment Lin Bai used his movement technique to flee, he looked at the Sound Transmission Talisman in his hand—its Spiritual Nature had been restored!

"Elder..."

Lin Bai had only just opened his mouth to call out!

At that moment, a gust of wind swept past Lin Bai’s side, causing his body to tremble. He looked beside himself, only to see a black shadow had swept past him.

As the black shadow swept by, Lin Bai felt his gripping hand loosen.

Looking down, he saw that the Sound Transmission Talisman used to contact Gui Jing had disappeared without a trace!

"So quick!"

Only then did Lin Bai realize the startling speed of this black-clothed elder!

The shadow swept past Lin Bai, snatching away the Sound Transmission Talisman, and stopped in front of him, grinning, "Thinking of calling for reinforcements? Heh, don’t dream."

Snap—

The black-robed elder exerted force in his hand, directly crushing the Sound Transmission Talisman to pieces.

Watching the talisman turn to ash and fall from the white-boned fingers of the black-robed elder, Lin Bai’s entire heart sank to freezing!

"Allow me to introduce myself: I am one of the Five Demons of Canglong Mountain, what your Human Clan calls ’Crane Demon’!" The black-robed elder said to Lin Bai, standing with his hands behind him, a cold smirk on his face.

"Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, Dongfang Bai!"

Lin Bai drew out the Demonic Sword, pointing it at the Crane Demon!

Lin Bai was well aware that the Crane Demon seemed to be an expert in speed techniques, and attempting to simply flee with raw speed in front of it was rather unrealistic. Lin Bai knew that, at this point, his only option was a desperate battle to the death!

Upon hearing this, the Crane Demon chuckled and said, "It seems I have found the right person. Of the over ten thousand disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect, you are the only one left."

Lin Bai responded coldly, "What has happened to them?"

"Don’t worry, we won’t kill them. They’re of no value to us dead," the Crane Demon quipped cheerily.

"We still hope to use you in a trade with the White Snake Clan of the Hanhai Demon Kingdom," the Crane Demon said coldly.

Hearing this, Lin Bai felt chills surging throughout his body!

"Netherworld Ghost Rain touches the sky with blood!"

Lin Bai broke through the air and charged straight at the Crane Demon.

Brilliant Sword Aura burst forth from Lin Bai’s hand, heading straight towards the Crane Demon!

The Crane Demon let out a cold laugh, easily dodging Lin Bai’s strike, and taunted disdainfully, "With such little strength, do you really think you can challenge me?"

The Crane Demon flipped over and struck with its palm, sending Lin Bai flying. The tremendous force hit Lin Bai’s chest, shattering a section of his bones with a series of "crack, crack, crack" sounds.

"Blood Sea Drifting, Wind and Waves End!"

Lin Bai instantly flipped over and lunged with another sword strike at the Crane Demon.

The Crane Demon smirked with disdain, easily evading the attack.

But at that moment, when the Crane Demon regained its senses, Lin Bai had already vanished from sight!

This strike had been a feint from Lin Bai, knowing all too well he was no match for the Crane Demon. He used the sword strike to deceive the Crane Demon, buying himself time to escape!

Lin Bai’s figure flashed like lightning, rapidly weaving through Dongshuang City.

"Heh heh, old Crane, you’ve really lost your touch. You actually let a little brat slip through your fingers," sneered a burly man with the build of a tiger and a bear, his face ferocious as he emerged from Lin Bai’s direction of escape. He threw a punch at Lin Bai, sending him flying once again!

"So you’re Dongfang Bai, the successor of the Demonic Sword, one of this year’s monstrous geniuses!" The burly man sneered, "I am one of the Five Demons of Canglong Mountain, the Tiger Demon!"

Lin Bai was sent reeling back by the punch from the Tiger Demon, barely managing to stand in place.

Behind Lin Bai, the Crane Demon had caught up, its eyes flashing with cold gleam, "Tsk, almost let you slip through, kid. I won’t give you such a good opportunity this time!"

Furious, the Crane Demon transformed into a gust of Black Wind sweeping towards them.

The Tiger Demon laughed coldly, "Heh heh, old Crane, you’ve grown old. Just leave it to me!"

Having said that, the Tiger Demon charged at Lin Bai!

The two attacks from the Ninth Level Yin Saint Realm demon beasts pincered Lin Bai like two colliding mountains!

The ferocious onslaught of the two demons bore down on Lin Bai!

Between the two fearsome assaults, Lin Bai nearly tore apart, his body threatening to be shattered to pieces.

"Still thinking of resisting, brat?" cried both the Tiger Demon and the Crane Demon in unison, their voices cold.

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai’s face contorted with ferocity, as a black Sword Aura flared from above his head, descending upon the Demonic Sword. Suddenly, a slash of sword light swept out, a terrifying force concentrating on both the Crane Demon and the Tiger Demon!

Spurt! Spurt—

Both demons had a wound cleaved open upon their chests, with blood gushing out.

And these wounds that flew out were instantly absorbed by the Devouring Sword Spirit!

In that instant, Lin Bai’s Cultivation broke through to the Yin Saint Realm!
