The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1409 - 1406: The Strength of a Monstrous Genius!

Chapter 1409: Chapter 1406: The Strength of a Monstrous Genius!

Immediately, Nie Xiong interjected, "I have a Yin Saint Realm fifth level Demon Beast here, which have been locked in battle for over a hundred rounds. It’s already covered in wounds. Within fifty more rounds, it will surely die under my sword. Junior Brother Dongfang, just go and block that Demon Beast, I’ll be right there!"

Lin Bai stomped his foot and soared into the air, charging eastward, "Senior Brother Nie Xiong, you focus on the Yin Saint Realm fifth level Demon Beast. Leave the Yin Saint Realm fourth level one to me!"

Jing Shu hurriedly said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, don’t be reckless. You can’t withstand that Yin Saint fourth level Demon Beast..."

Ding—

Just as Jing Shu finished speaking, the light representing the Yin Saint fifth level Demon Beast on the Magic Circle Compass suddenly disappeared.

This gave Jing Shu quite a shock; she thought there was some problem with the Magic Circle!

But at that moment, Lin Bai’s deep and husky voice came through a Sound Transmission Talisman, "The Yin Saint fourth level Demon Beast has been killed. Are there any others?"

"What!" Jing Shu’s eyes widened. She never imagined Lin Bai could kill a Yin Saint fourth level Demon Beast with his mere Yin Saint first level cultivation!

And in such a short time?

It felt as if Lin Bai had rushed over and with just a single sword strike, slain the Yin Saint Realm fourth level Demon Beast!

You should know, even a sword art genius like Nie Xiong, challenging a higher level, would still have to fight hundreds of rounds against a Yin Saint fifth level Demon Beast, yet Lin Bai went over and killed it with just one strike!

It was astounding!

"Is this the strength of a monstrous genius?" Jing Shu’s heart was pounding at this moment.

At that moment, Nie Xiong’s voice came through, "Junior Sister Jing Shu, I’ve finished over here, and now I will go to assist Junior Brother Dongfang!"

Jing Shu came back to her senses, saying, "There’s no need, Senior Brother Nie Xiong."

"No need? Why?" Nie Xiong exclaimed in surprise.

Jing Shu spoke calmly, "Junior Brother Dongfang has already killed that Yin Saint fourth level Demon Beast!"

"What! Junior Brother Dongfang is only at the Yin Saint first level, how could he possibly kill a Yin Saint fourth level Demon Beast..." Nie Xiong’s incredulous shriek resounded from the Sound Transmission Talisman, followed by silence.

Jing Shu smiled faintly, "Perhaps this is the power of a monstrous genius."

Nie Xiong laughed, "It seems we made the right choice. He’s the only one within the Hanhai Demon Kingdom with the capability to lead us back to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"If he can kill a Yin Saint fourth level Demon Beast at the Yin Saint first level, then we only need to wait until he reaches the Yin Saint fifth or sixth level, and he will be able to slaughter Yin Saint Great Perfection Demon Beasts. At that time, we can prepare to return to the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect!"

"And with Junior Brother Dongfang’s Quasi-Divine Martial Soul and potential, breaking through from the Yin Saint first level to the sixth level could probably happen within half a year, or even less!"

"Ha ha ha ha, there’s hope for going home!"

Nie Xiong laughed loudly in the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Jing Shu was also excited, her eyes misting up, "Yes, we’re going home."

...

After a night of relentless fighting, none of the disciples had rested for even a moment.

From nightfall, they fought relentlessly until dawn broke in the east.

It must be said, although the majority of the disciples from the Heaven-reaching Sword Sect were from noble families and titled sons, their sword arts cultivation and techniques were genuinely formidable!

After all, even the least of the disciples coming out of the Seven Great Unparalleled Sects on the Lingnan Continent would stand out from the rest!

At dawn, the mountain range gradually calmed down. Most of the Demon Beasts that couldn’t break through the fiery defense line set up by Lin Bai and the others retreated silently, disappearing into the mountains.

"The Demon Beasts are retreating beyond my Magic Circle."

"This night has finally passed."

Junior Sister Jing Shu said over the Sound Transmission Talisman.

Lin Bai’s voice came through, "Since the demon beasts have temporarily retreated, all disciples should return to Fairy Cave Mountain to rest."

At that moment, Lin Bai, Zhuo Lian, Nie Xiong, Lei Yizhe, Luo Xuan, and all other disciples from Heaven-reaching Sword Sect began returning to Fairy Cave Mountain from all directions.

Jing Shu looked at them, each one in disarray, with wounds all over their bodies and blood having dyed their clothes red, faces filled with evil Qi, as if they had just returned from the Asura battlefield!

Nie Xiong had just returned and said with a grin, "Damn it, although this night was perilous, it really was thrilling; these demon beasts rushed in as if they were on a suicide mission!"

Zhuo Lian laughed and said, "Indeed, they were utterly reckless. The trial missions arranged by the Sect in the past, although they also involved hunting demon beasts, those beasts were too weak or simply trembled in fear at the mention of our Heaven-reaching Sword Sect’s name, rarely could we enjoy such a delightful fight like today."

Luo Xuan chuckled, "Yeah, I almost took on close to a thousand demon beasts last night. Although most of them were from the Heavenly Elixir Realm, this feeling really is exhilarating."

Lei Yizhe laughed, "Especially since we’ve come to Hanhai Demon Kingdom, we originally had a grudge against these demon beasts, so killing them now feels exceptionally thrilling!"

Jing Shu saw all the disciples excitedly sharing their experiences.

Lin Bai asked, "Has anyone been killed or injured?"

Nie Xiong replied, "A few were injured, but thankfully no junior brother has fallen in battle!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, his gaze growing profound.

Jing Shu looked at Lin Bai and saw that, although there was a smile on his face, his eyes were deep, as if he were pondering something.

At this moment, Jing Shu suddenly remembered, "Junior Brother Dongfang, you asked us to preserve the demon blood after killing the demon beasts, what do you plan to do with the demon blood?"

Nie Xong, Zhuo Lian, and Luo Xuan also looked curiously at Lin Bai.

Nie Xiong said, "Yeah, every time I killed a demon beast, I carefully collected the demon blood, and made sure my Sword Skill didn’t mess with the blood too much."

"Junior Brother Dongfang, what do you need the demon blood for?"

Luo Xuan and Lei Yizhe and the others also asked out of curiosity.

Lin Bai took a deep breath, seemed hesitant, and then said, "You don’t need to ask so many questions. I certainly won’t harm everyone. Please, just trust me and give me the demon blood."

"Here you go, all yours," Nie Xiong said with a grin, the first to take out the demon blood from his Storage Bag and hand it over to Lin Bai.

The other disciples also took out their demon blood one by one.

Originally, they had no use for the demon blood; they only collected it because Lin Bai needed it, so now they could give it all directly to Lin Bai!

Lin Bai accepted the demon blood from everyone and said, "Now that dawn has just broken, Senior Sister Jing Shu, I’m going to trouble you to stay up and keep an eye on the Magic Circle Compass, be vigilant in case the demon beasts return."

"Here are some Healing Pills for you to distribute to the disciples to take."

"The other disciples can take a moment to rest."

Lin Bai said indifferently, handing over all the Healing Pills from his Storage Bag to Jing Shu.

These pills, including the ones Jiang Jing had given Lin Bai, as well as the Talisman that could withstand a blow from a fifth-level practitioner in the Yin Saint Realm, he handed over to Jing Shu; these things were not of much use to Lin Bai anyway!

Jing Shu said, "Junior Brother Dongfang, you all go and rest first, I can keep watch here."

"Alright!" Lin Bai, carrying all the demon blood, went directly into a secluded place inside the mountain, sat down cross-legged, and took out all the demon blood from his Storage Bag!

"So much demon blood, even though it’s all from beasts below the fifth level of the Yin Saint Realm, it should help me break through to the second level of the Yin Saint Realm."

Lin Bai closed his Eyes, and the Devouring Sword Spirit refined all the demon blood on the ground into emptiness, infusing it into Lin Bai’s body!
