Chapter 261: Chapter 260: Luo Sha Palm! Demons Devouring Heart! (Third Update)

Hearing the thanks from the princes and princesses...

Lin Bai smiled slightly, "I’m merely acting on behalf of others, you don’t need to thank me. Keeping track of the time, there are only a little over two hours left until the end of the Imperial Hunting Garden."

"Everyone, use your time wisely to hunt the demon beasts. I will take my leave now."

With that, Lin Bai turned and walked into the forest.

Now that he had left, Lin Bai thought about how people like Chu Jiangliu, having been caught by Qi Rui for the first time, had managed to escape and were unlikely to be caught by him easily.

Moreover, there was now very little time left until the end of the Imperial Hunting Garden. Everyone was entirely focused on hunting demon beasts.

"Should I go hunt demon beasts now or should I find Brother Lu Yuan?"

As Lin Bai marched through the forest, he spoke these words faintly.

"I should find Brother Lu Yuan, I wonder if they managed to escape."

"With my current first layer cultivation of Heaven Martial Realm, I am no longer afraid of those at the third layer of the Heavenly Martial Realm. Even if I were to encounter Yi Han now, I could easily deal with him."

With this thought, Lin Bai quickened his pace, rapidly darting through the forest.

...

Meanwhile...

In the primitive jungle of Qitian Mountain Range...

From within a cave that was obscured by the dense forest, Lu Yuan suddenly appeared.

At this moment, Lu Yun, dressed in a white robe, stood with several wounds. His face was determined, his eyes cold. He looked at the cave in front of him and said, "The marker is pointing here. I wonder if it was left by Junior Brother Lin Bai or Brother Zhang Lingdao."

Filled with doubt, Lu Yuan silently entered the cave.

In the cave, a wounded young man was healing his injuries.

"Who is it!"

Upon sensing someone entering the cave, he let out a cry of surprise. The treasure sword by his side flew into his hand as he glanced coldly at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother Zhang Lingdao, it’s me." Upon seeing Zhang Lingdao, Lu Yuan stepped out from the darkness with a smile.

Seeing Lu Yuan, Zhang Lingdao let out a sigh of relief, a joyful smile on his face, "So it’s you, Brother Lu Yuan. I thought those brutes from Canghai Yuntai Palace caught up."

"Brother Lu Yuan, wasn’t the Fire Palace after you? How did you escape?" Zhang Lingdao asked curiously.

Lu Yuan replied indifferently, "Although Wan Xia’s cultivation is not much different from mine, it’s hard for him to kill me. By the way, where is Junior Brother Lin Bai? Wasn’t he with you?"

Zhang Lingdao said coldly, "Earlier when we were escaping, Lin Bai and I split up. I managed to escape from Li Luobei and others, but I don’t know if Lin Bai managed to escape from Yi Han."

"Yi Han!" Upon hearing this name, Lu Yuan’s eyes shone with a chilling light.

Swish swish!

Just then, a rustling sound came from outside the cave.

Someone was coming here.

"Someone’s coming, hide!" Lu Yuan quickly signaled to Zhang Lingdao to hide in the dark.

But no sooner had they hidden, a cold voice came from outside, "No need to hide. Come out."

Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao were stunned.

The other party had actually sensed their location.

You should know that Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao were disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect. Their concealment skills were profound and mysterious, and ordinary Heavenly Martial Realm experts could not detect their existence.

Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao looked at each other, neither of them daring to make a move.

What if the other party didn’t know where they were and was just bluffing?

But the next line shattered the slim hope held by Lu Yuan and Zhang Lingdao.

"Why haven’t they come out yet?"

Whoosh—

As the words fell, a cold light shot directly towards the hiding place of Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao.

"Oh, no! Let’s go!" Luke Yuan screamed, realizing that the opponent was not bluffing. They had genuinely discovered their presence and even directly attacked them.

Lu Yuan hastily pulled Zhang Lingdao and jumped up from the darkness, dodging the attack.

The moment

As soon as Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao left, the cold light hit the place where the two were hiding, exploding on impact.

Upon seeing this, Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao both looked horrified.

This attack was as powerful as a Warrior of the Heaven Martial Realm Fourth Layer.

"Luo Qixing!"

Luke Yuan landed and upon seeing the figure in front of him, he immediately screamed out in surprise.

This person turned out to be Luo Qixing, the ace assassin of the Edgeless Sect.

Edgeless Sect had branches not only within the Territory of Shenwu Kingdom but also in Lingdong 700 States.

However, from the day the Edgeless Sect came into existence, no one knew where the headquarters of the Edgeless Sect was.

They existed in the Martial world as a sect, accepting assassination missions for astronomical rewards.

And Luo Qixing was one of the Edgeless Sect’s ace assassins in Shenwu Kingdom.

Being an ace assassin of the Edgeless Sect was equivalent to being in the top three of the Inner Sect Top Hundred Rankings of the Spirit Sword Sect, or one of the Seven Kings of Canghai Yuntai Palace.

"Heh Heh, I thought it was a marker left by Lin Bai. I didn’t expect you two to be here. But that’s okay, since I’m about to kill Lin Bai, I might as well kill you two as well, so Lin Bai won’t be lonely on his Netherworld Path." Luo Qixing showed a cold smile as he looked at Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao.

Luo Qixing had spotted the Spirit Sword Sect mark on the road by chance and followed it.

Initially, he thought the marker was left by Lin Bai and wanted to follow it and kill Lin Bai.

But when he arrived here and saw Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao, it didn’t matter to an assassin. An assassin was born to kill. Killing one or killing two, it was all the same.

Zhang Lingdao looked surprised when he saw Luo Qixing, and whispered to Brother Luke Yuan, "Brother Luke Yuan, what should we do? We both are injured now, I’m afraid we can’t defeat Luo Qixing."

"No worries, let’s see what tricks he wants to play." Luke Yuan said coldly.

"Luo Qixing, are you here to kill Lin Bai?" Luke Yuan asked out of curiosity.

"Yes." Luo Qixing nodded, "Where is he?"

Luke Yuan said, "He is not here."

After hearing that, Luo Qixing gave a cold laugh. "Then you shall descend to the Netherworld first!"

"Rakshasa Palm! Hell Ghost Hand!"

Even as he spoke, Luo Qixing rushed forward with a menacing grin. His entire body was shrouded in a dense fog. He targeted Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao with a palm strike, filled with a destructive, unstoppable force.

Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao both drew their swords at the same time, sparking a fierce battle.

"Heh Heh, if you were at your peak, you might have a chance to fight. But now, injured as you both are, there’s no way you can defeat me!"

"Rakshasa Palm! Demons Devouring Heart!"

Luo Qixing jumped up and suddenly unleashed a skyful of punches like a huge net that swallowed everything. He delivered a heavy blow to Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao.

Thud! Thud!

Luke Yuan and Zhang Lingdao immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Their bodies were sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground as severely injured men!
