Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Encounter at Canghai Yuntai Palace (Third Update)

Half an hour later in some part of Qitian Mountain Range.

A bear demon, as raging as the thunder, pounced at Lin Bai with its wide-opened jaws and wavy claws.

The terrifying strength tore through the heavens and earth on its claws.

"Feng Lei Divine Wings!"

Seeing the bear demon charging at him, Lin Bai transformed into a waning shadow and retreated hundreds of yards, avoiding the bear demon’s ferocious claw.

Immediately after, Qingge Sword shot out an extraordinarily sharp and glimmering light that tore through the sky and heavily struck the bear demon’s neck.

Aow——

The bear demon let out a terrifying scream. A wound as large as a bowl appeared in its throat with the fountain-like blood streaming out frantically.

With difficulty, the bear demon fell to the ground and struggled for a while before losing its breath.

Lin Bai walked over, and the Devouring Sword Spirit absorbed all the fresh blood from the bear demon.

"This Earth Grade 9 bear demon was somewhat troublesome," Lin Bai said. He then collected the body of the bear demon into his storage bag. He looked at the sunset slowly setting below the West Mountain and said, "Not much time left."

"I’ve only gathered three or four ten thousand points so far."

"To exchange for Beacon Fire and City Flowers, I need one million. It’s far from enough."

Lin Bai continued to step into the forest. He executed the Feng Lei Divine Wings, moving fast, and started the hunt for a new demon beast to kill.

Boom——

As Lin Bai had just proceeded for several hundred yards.

He suddenly sensed a slight vibration coming from the ground, followed by a roar of a beast echoing throughout the earth.

"Listening to that roar, it should be a Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer demon beast."

"Who is hunting a Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer demon beast?"

Lin Bai felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

He had been looking for such a beast for so long in the Qitian Mountain Range, but the most formidable beast he had encountered was the Heaven Martial Realm Second Layer bear demon he had just killed, which was worth twenty thousand points.

However, he hadn’t seen a single Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer demon beast.

A Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer demon beast would be worth thirty thousand points.

"Let’s go check it out."

Lin Bai followed the direction of the beast’s roar and shot off.

At a mountain far away.

A group of warriors from the Canghai Yuntai Palace had assembled. Before them was a pack of wolves.

"Senior Brother Yi Han, you’re back!" Li Luobei asked in surprise as he saw the returning and bedraggled Yi Han.

Li Luobei looked at Yi Han who was full of belligerence; his body covered in dried blood, his internal energy chaotic, and his eyes radiating a murderous intent as if he wanted to devour someone.

"Senior Brother Yi Han, what happened? Didn’t you go to hunt down Lin Bai? Did something go wrong?"

Li Luobei asked puzzledly.

Yi Han had gone to kill Lin Bai, but Li Luobei hadn’t gone. Leading several tens of Canghai Yuntai Palace Warriors, he had begun hunting demon beasts.

Yi Han said in a cold voice, "Nevermind that, Junior Brother Li, I was tricked by Lin Bai. But it doesn’t matter. Come the Imperial Banquet Martial Arts Competition, I will make sure he pays in blood!"

Li Luobei immediately said, "Senior Brother Yi Han, be patient. Since we can’t kill the Spirit Sword Sect warriors in the Imperial Hunting Garden, let’s ruin them all at the Imperial Banquet. It will be more disgraceful for the Spirit Sword Sect."

"Senior Brother Yi Han, you came at the right time. We have found a pack of demon wolves here, about forty-something."

"The leader of the pack, the Wolf King, is a Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer demon beast."

"The lesser wolves in the pack are also Earth Martial Realm Seventh or Eighth Layer demon beasts. I was worried on my own, I fear that I won’t be able to handle the Wolf King. It’s perfect that you came."

"If we join forces, we will be able to slay the Wolf King."

Yi Han spoke out coldly, "Good, dusk is nearly here. After we have killed this pack of demon wolves, we will return to the Imperial Capital and prepare for the Imperial Banquet Martial Arts Competition."

"Let’s take action."

Yi Han and Li Luobei launched their attack on the Wolf King.

The rest of the warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace charged at the lesser wolves.

Both parties were equally powerful, but Yi Han and Li Luobei, two Heaven Martial Realm Third Layer experts, didn’t have a hard time killing a Wolf King.

Just as the warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace were taking action,

Lin Bai abruptly appeared from a hundred yards away, standing on a large tree’s branch.

"Canghai Yuntai Palace warriors, long time no see!"

Lin Bai instantly recognized the warriors struggling with the demon beast and let out a cold laugh.

Standing on the branch, Lin Bai wasn’t in a rush and instead revealed a strange, smirking smile on his face.

After half an hour of entanglement, the warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace succeeded in slaughtering all of the demon wolves.

And the strongest Wolf King, in particular, let out a mournful howl as it fell to the hands of Li Luobei and Yi Han.

"Great, we finally killed off this pack of wolves."

"These wolves altogether could have given us seventy or eighty thousand points."

"About that, since that Wolf King alone was worth thirty thousand points."

The warriors cheered in joy.

With a cold face, Yi Han said: "Stop your foolish grins. Quickly clean up the battlefield, we need to return to the Imperial City."

"Alright."

A group of warriors from Canghai Yuntai Palace took action, totaling more than thirty people.

They prepared to collect all the corpses of the demon wolves into their storage bags.

But at that moment, a wild wind swept across the battlefield, and within the wind was a continuously flashing purple thunderbolt.

Within the stormy wind and thunderbolt seemed to be a person...

This gust of wind swept by, taking all the demon wolf corpses from the ground, even the Wolf King was not spared.

"My demon wolves are gone."

"Who is it!"

"Who dares to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth!"

"Looking for death! Daring to snatch the prey of our Canghai Yuntai Palace."

A group of warriors cried out in alarm.

Yi Han and Li Luobei also revealed astonishment in their eyes, and they stared in shock at the Wolf King which had disappeared from the ground.

SWOOSH–––––

The wild wind subsided revealing a figure.

He was looking at Yi Han and Luobei with a chilling grin.

"Long time no see, Yi Han," Lin Bai said with a cold smile.

Once Yi Han and Li Luobei saw who it was, it was Lin Bai, they immediately roared furiously: "Well, you dare to come and die!"

Li Luobei also scorned: "Hmm, you choose not to take the path to heaven but barged into Hell instead! Since you seek death, let me help you."

At this moment, upon seeing Lin Bai, Yi Han was beyond furious and roared: "No one should get involved, let me personally kill this scum!"

While speaking, Yi Han leapt into action.

"Lin Bai, do you dare to fight me?" Yi Han stepped forward, shouting coldly.

"Why wouldn’t I dare!" Lin Bai responded self-assuredly.

As of now, Lin Bai had already broken into the first layer of the Heaven Martial Realm. According to Lin Bai’s assumptions, defeating the third layer of the Heaven Martial Realm shouldn’t be very challenging.

"Very well. Prepare to die."

"Sea Overlapping Waves!"

As soon as Yi Han made his move, he directly employed the famous technique of the Canghai Yuntai Palace. Once unleashed, it had immense momentum and limitless power, like a overturning ocean wave, unstoppable!

"Astonishing Wind Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai instantly retaliated with a sword, and after the two traded blows, they simultaneously retreated by one hundred meters, unharmed.

"Hmm, you’re quite capable, no wonder you dare to roar. But no matter how capable you are, you are still a warrior at the first layer of Heaven Martial Realm: this palm strike will surely kill you," Yi Han said coldly.

Suddenly, a deep blue aura ignited all over Yi Han.

A fearful amount of power was immediately released.

"This move...is...?"

"Senior Brother Yi Han’s move is...?"

"The second move of Sea Overlapping Waves, Boundless Ocean!"

"Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Yi Han has practiced the move ’Sea Overlapping Waves’ to its second form! This is an Earth Grade 9 martial art."

"Senior Brother Yi Han deserves to be one of the Seven Kings."

"Lin Bai is doomed. Under ’Boundless Ocean,’ Lin Bai will surely be reduced to ashes."

The surrounding spectators, warriors, all cheered excitedly.

"Lin Bai, prepare to die! Boundless Ocean!"

Yi Han gave a furious yell. A large clump of blue divine light gathered in his hands and in an instant, it shot out towards Lin Bai, enough to perforate heaven and earth.

This divine beam of light held a vastness akin to the ocean, and the mighty power to shatter heaven and earth.

Upon feeling these powers, Lin Bai felt so insignificant, like a tiny grain of sand in the ocean. So pathetic.

"Sword Intention! Eternal Silence of Mountains and Rivers!"

Lin Bai’s eyes lit up instantly, the Sword Intention soared, and the sword technique swept in all directions.
