Chapter 1408: Chapter 1405: Bonds Forged in Iron Blood!

Lin Bai slashed the earth with his sword, striking something underground!

With a splatter, blood spilled into the soil. Suddenly, a dwarf old man emerged from underground, his face etched with horror, "How did you discover my whereabouts?"

"So, it was just a rat!" Lin Bai observed that the dwarf old man looked exactly like a rat transformed!

With that, Lin Bai soared forward with his sword, its icy aura piercing to the bone, aiming for the head of the dwarf old man.

The old man’s face filled with shock as he hastily retreated. However, just then, Lin Bai’s sword fell, and he directly slew the dwarf old man under his sword, who transformed into a giant rat in a flicker!

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai silently operated the Devouring Sword Spirit, refining the demon rat’s Demon Blood completely.

"I’m still far from reaching the second layer of the Yin Saint Realm," Lin Bai narrowed his Eyes. The refinement of this triple-layer Yin Saint Realm demon rat didn’t bring him significant breakthroughs in his realm; instead, his realm seemed to solidify, not budging in the slightest.

"Junior Brother Dongfang, the red dot on my Magic Circle Compass has disappeared. Have you already killed the demon beast?" At that moment, a voice came from the Sound Transmission Talisman in Lin Bai’s arms, it was Jing Shu’s inquiry.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Senior Sister Jing Shu, your Magic Circle is quite interesting. I have indeed killed that demon beast!"

Jing Shu hastily said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, be careful. The Magic Circle Compass shows a group of demon beasts approaching you from that direction at high speed, and they are targeting you!"

"What!"

Lin Bai’s Eyes widened in shock!

Jing Shu’s voice was quick and urgent, as if a slight delay would be too late!

Right as Jing Shu finished speaking, there was a disturbance from the forest ahead, and pairs of blood-red Eyes lit up in the dim forest, menacingly lunging at Lin Bai!

Lin Bai tightly gripped the Demonic Sword, looking at the thousands of blood-red pupils ahead, his scalp tingling slightly.

Squeak, squeak, squeak—

Strange noises came as a group of demon beasts rushed up to Lin Bai.

Whoosh—

The first demon beast charged at Lin Bai, and only then did Lin Bai see clearly that these were originally a swarm of giant rats!

"Did I just poke a rat’s nest? Yet these rat demons have low cultivation; they are all from the Heavenly Elixir Realm and Earth Elixir Realm..." Lin Bai swung his Demonic Sword, directly slaying the attacking rat demons under his sword!

One rat demon was killed, and then thousands more swarmed in!

"Demons and Goblins Emerge from the Ghost Domain!"

With this sword, Lin Bai soared upward, his sword light flashing down, slaying a swath of rat demons under his sword!

Swish—

Lin Bai’s figure swiftly transformed, his expression cold, his Eyes icy as he plunged into the group of rat demons. His sword light kept flashing, slaying all the demon beasts around him!

To Lin Bai, the demon beasts of the Heavenly Elixir Realm and Earth Elixir Realm were like cabbages, still being slaughtered by him!

On the platform of Xian Dong Mountain, Jing Shu held the compass, seeing the dense cluster of red dots swarming towards Lin Bai, her expression inadvertently showing a trace of worry, her beautiful gaze looking far towards the southwest!

Jing Shu saw that, nine thousand miles away in the southwest, sword light flashed in the dark forest.

Every time the sword light flashed, Jing Shu could see Lin Bai illuminated beneath it!

At this moment, Nie Xiong returned to the platform, looking at the worried Jing Shu, and asked, "Junior Sister Jing Shu? What’s going on?"

Jing Shu said with a delighted expression, "Senior Brother Nie Xiong, it’s great that you’re back! A large group of Demon Beasts has appeared in the southwest, and now they’re fighting with Junior Brother Dongfang. I’m worried that Junior Brother Dongfang is no match for them!"

Nie Xiong caught sight of the red dot on the compass in Jing Shu’s hand and was immediately alarmed, "I’ll go support Junior Brother Dongfang!"

Jing Shu nodded joyfully.

"No need, Nie Xiong. You, Jing Shu, and Zhuo Lian should keep an eye on the other directions. I’ll take care of the Demon Beasts in the southwest and then come to support you."

"The Demon Beasts that came tonight are definitely not from only one direction."

As Nie Xiong was preparing to go to support Lin Bai, Jing Shu’s Sound Transmission Talisman carried Lin Bai’s cold voice.

Nie Xiong said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, I see from Sister Jing Shu’s compass that there are many Demon Beasts at your location. Are you sure you don’t need my help?"

Lin Bai responded, "I can handle it. After all, they are just beasts from the Heavenly Elixir Realm, not a real threat. You all focus on the beasts in other directions. Remember, make sure to keep the Demon Blood safe. I have important use for it!"

Nie Xiong nodded slightly.

At that moment, Nie Xiong’s Sound Transmission Talisman lit up; a voice came through, "Senior Brother Nie Xiong, come quickly to the east. There’s a fifth-state beast from the Yin Saint Realm we can’t hold off!"

After hearing this, Nie Xiong immediately turned and flew towards the east.

Jing Shu saw Nie Xiong leaving and looked towards the mountain range in front of Fairy Cave Mountain. Everywhere, sword lights flashed continuously, and all disciples were engaged in fierce combat with the Demon Beasts in the forest!

"Fight!"

"Help, I can’t hold this spot. Is there anyone who can support me?"

"Don’t panic, Junior Brother. I’m coming too!"

"The beasts in the north have all been annihilated. Is there any other place that needs support?"

Voices came through the Sound Transmission Talisman one after another!

Standing on the platform of the Fairy Cave Mountain, Jing Shu heard the voices from the talisman and a smile appeared on her lips. "This feeling is truly wonderful—no deception, no demons and monsters, every disciple behaves like kin with no schemes, everyone showcasing their own skills and abilities!"

"This is indeed much more real than the usual trials arranged by the Sect!"

Jing Shu stood alone on the platform. The voice sounded once more from the Sound Transmission Talisman, "Senior Sister Jing Shu, there seem to be no Demon Beasts in the north for now. Should we go and support the other directions?"

Jing Shu quickly came back to her senses, looked at the compass, and spoke into the talisman, "Junior Brother Luo Xuan, 800 miles to your west, Senior Brother Lei Yizhe is fighting with over a hundred Demonic Beasts. Leave a few people there, and the rest should go support Senior Brother Lei Yizhe!"

"Alright!" came the voice through the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Immediately, Jing Shu’s gaze fixed intently on the compass as she continued to rearrange troops through the talisman.

In the southwest part of the forest.

"Blood Sea Drifting, Wind and Waves Exhausted!" The Demonic Sword shook, a powerful Sword Intention accompanied by the fierce sword light slashed out, annihilating all the rodent demons lying on the ground in front of it.

Lin Bai sheathed his sword, looking over the area in a radius of a thousand meters, which had been ravaged by the fierce battle with the rodent demons, leaving it shattered and full of wounds.

Countless Sky-reaching Trees had been severed by Lin Bai’s sword light; the ground was littered with the corpses of rodent demons!

Lin Bai activated the Devouring Sword Spirit, absorbing all the rodent demon corpses in one sweep, then he exhaled deeply, took out his Sound Transmission Talisman, and said, "Senior Sister Jing Shu, the southwest direction has been taken care of."

Jing Shu’s voice came through, "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Dongfang. One and a half thousand miles to your east, a fourth-state beast from the Yin Saint Realm has appeared. A few Junior Brothers can’t hold it off. Can you go over and support them?"

"If you can’t defeat it, just hold it off; once Senior Brother Nie Xiong is free, I’ll tell him to come over!"

Hearing this, Lin Bai gave a cold look towards the east, his body soaring off the ground, rushing over!
