Chapter 347: Chapter 346: Black Smoke Wolf

The Martial Soul Secret Skill of the Devouring Sword Spirit allowed Lin Bai’s body to enter the Chaotic Stone Array at the very last moment.

Hiding behind a stone stele, Lin Bai watched the warriors from the Eight Great Clans return victorious with triumphant smiles on their faces, stoking a rage within him.

"Wait until I return! You all will die!"

Lin Bai spoke, his face cold and expression fierce.

Right then, Lin Bai sat cross-legged, rotating the Great Five Elements Skill to heal his injuries.

"Your Martial Soul Secret Skill is quite interesting."

Upon Lin Bai’s entry into the Chaotic Stone Array, the Great Demon naturally sensed his presence.

Thus, the Great Demon began to speak to Lin Bai.

But Lin Bai did not respond to the Great Demon, instead he sat down to begin healing his injuries, ignoring everything else.

One day, two days passed.

By the third day, Lin Bai’s wounds had slowly started to heal, and the injury on his chest formed a scab.

At this juncture, Lin Bai stood up, gazing deeply into the depths of the Chaotic Stone Array. The entrance connecting to the underworld resembled the gaping maw of a terrifying demon king.

"Lucky that the Great Demon did nothing to me these past three days. Otherwise, with my heavily injured body, I would have no power to resist."

Lin Bai murmured, a lingering fear in his heart.

Upon entering the Chaotic Stone Array, Lin Bai immediately began to heal for fear that the Great Demon would come out. With his heavily injured body, all he could do was watch himself die at the hands of the Great Demon.

Fortunately, throughout these three days, the Great Demon stayed quiet, not bothering Lin Bai at all.

After completing his healing, Lin Bai recovered significantly.

Turning around, Lin Bai started walking towards the edge of the Chaotic Stone Array.

Lin Bai had no wish to spend a moment longer here.

Staying with a peerless Demon God, unless you have a death wish.

"Are you leaving already?" The Great Demon asked.

"Not leaving? Or do you want me to stay and have late-night snacks with you." Lin Bai reached the edge of the Chaotic Stone Array and prepared to unleash his Martial Soul Secret Skill to cut open a gap in the array.

"Your Martial Soul Secret Skill is interesting, and I believe your Martial Soul must be interesting too." The Great Demon said with a curious smile.

"Heh."

Lin Bai sneered, readying his Martial Soul Secret Skill. He was about to break open the Chaotic Stone Array and escape.

"Ready to leave already? Did you ask for my permission?"

"Stay, it’s been a very, very long time since I have had a proper conversation."

The Great Demon spoke while laughing.

Suddenly, at this moment.

Lin Bai was shocked to see a colossal black smoke erupting from the hole at the center of the Chaotic Stone Array, quickly taking the form of a Black Smoke Wolf after hitting the ground.

The demonic wolf, made of black smoke, had blood-red eyes that glared at Lin Bai, baring its teeth.

Whoosh--

Suddenly, the Black Smoke Wolf lunged forward from the hole, reaching Lin Bai’s back in a blink, its speed chilling Lin Bai to his core.

"Scram!"

Immediately abandoning his Martial Soul Secret Skill, Lin Bai drew the Qingge Sword for the counterattack.

The Sword Qi fell from the sky, hitting the Black Smoke Wolf and flinging it aside.

Lin Bai could easily guess that the Black Smoke Wolf was one of the tricks up the Great Demon’s sleeve.

"What do you want?" Lin Bai asked, his voice cold.

"Heh, I don’t want or can do anything. It’s just that it’s been a while since I had company. Why don’t you stay and play with me."

"Also, I’m interested in your Martial Soul and wish to see it."

"A Martial Soul that can break the Chaotic Stone Array must be at least God Level."

"Let me have a look at your Martial Soul."

The Great Demon spoke, sneering.

"Dream on!" Lin Bai retorted coldly.

"Then play with my little pet." The Great Demon said, chuckling.

The moment the Great Demon’s words were spoken, the Black Smoke Wolf that Lin Bai had flung away got up, transformed into a rolling mass of ink, and started moving rapidly across the Chaotic Stone Array.

Roar--

A flash of cold light whooshed over. The Black Smoke Wolf moved at great speed, reaching Lin Bai in front of him in an instant. Its blood-red eyes stared at Lin Bai causing his spirit to tremble.

"Sword Intention! The wind blows and the sea blows."

Lin Bai spread his Sword Intention, angrily slashing down his sword.

But this time, Lin Bai missed. The Black Smoke Wolf managed to dodge his attack.

To be precise, it wasn’t that Lin Bai had missed, but that the Black Smoke Wolf had sped up again.

"Given your age, you must be about seventeen, eighteen years old, yet you have cultivated the peak of a first-grade sword intention, which makes you a prodigy in the Sword Art."

The Great Demon said with a light laugh.

Lin Bai’s face was cold as he watched the black smoke darting back and forth within the Chaotic Stone Array.

Whoosh!

Another gust of wind howled, the black smoke rushed in front of Lin Bai, rolled on the ground, and transformed into a ferocious demon wolf, lunging in for the attack.

"This time, let’s see how you’ll dodge."

Lin Bai was furious, and as his Sword Intention spread in all directions, a mysterious and unpredictable power descended from the sky.

"Divine Skill! Wind Slash!"

One of the Four Swords of Wind and Snow, the Divine Skill Wind Slash, mercilessly struck.

The sword, bearing the power to destroy heavens and earth and swift as lightning, hit the body of the Black Smoke Wolf.

Bang!

The enormous power, like a collapsing mountain, instantaneously chopped the approaching Black Smoke Wolf into a cloud of black mist, which vanished in front of Lin Bai.

"You could actually kill the Black Smoke Wolf, indeed you’re somewhat interesting."

"However, while you can kill one, can you kill ten, a hundred, a thousand?"

The Great Demon smirked slightly.

Having heard these words, Lin Bai looked towards them in astonishment. Emerging from a dark hole in the center of the Chaotic Stone Array were wave after wave of Black Smoke Wolves, their menacing gazes fixated on Lin Bai.

At a glance, there were a thousand of them at the very least, covering the entire surface.

Lin Bai’s face paled.

Roar!

An explosive shout echoed, and the thousands of Black Smoke Wolves came charging from all directions.

Lin Bai looked around in terror, he was completely surrounded.

Moreover, these Black Smoke Wolves moved extremely quickly. It was by sheer luck that Lin Bai had managed to shatter one. Now faced with the onslaught of over a thousand Black Smoke Wolves, Lin Bai couldn’t possibly block them all in an instant.

"I just wanted to see your Martial Soul." The Great Demon spoke in a soft voice.

Lin Bai clenched his teeth forcefully, a defiant glimmer in his eyes as he gripped the Qingge Sword tightly.

"If you won’t show me, then you’ll soon learn what it is like to be torn apart."

"Kill him."

The Great Demon spoke, wearing a slight smile.

Suddenly, the thousands of Black Smoke Wolves surged forward, attacking simultaneously.

Like a thousand swords aiming at the same target, they charged directly at Lin Bai.

Bang!

The first Black Smoke Wolf struck Lin Bai, and he could feel his left abdomen being torn apart by a ripping pain.

This hit nearly tore off a piece of flesh from Lin Bai’s left abdomen.

The force of just one Black Smoke Wolf was already so incredible. If thousands of Black Smoke Wolves attacked simultaneously, Lin Bai might be torn into shreds in an instant by the Black Smoke Wolves.

"If you want to see my Martial Soul!"

"Then I’ll show it to you!"

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai roared in anger.

Black mist rose from his head, and within it, an incredibly bright black sword, carrying a magnificent aura, was suspended above Lin Bai’s head.

Once the Devouring Sword Spirit appeared, an intense suction force spread throughout the entire Chaotic Stone Array.

At this moment, all the attacking Black Smoke Wolves were shattered by the Devouring Sword Spirit and were sucked into it, transforming into pure Spirit Qi which flowed back into Lin Bai.

The destruction of thousands of Black Smoke Wolves provided Lin Bai with enough Spirit Qi to advance from the Heaven Martial Realm Fifth Layer directly to the pivotal Heaven Martial Realm Sixth Layer.

"Now at the Heaven Martial Realm’s Sixth Layer..."

Lin Bai was somewhat startled, he had never imagined that the Black Smoke Wolves would contain such rich Spirit Qi.

"Demonic Martial Soul! Devouring Sword Spirit!"

"So, you’re one of us."

"Hahaha, Fortune favors me, my day of liberation is near."

"You, will become my new host!"

The Great Demon recognized Lin Bai’s Demonic Martial Soul, and burst into a crazed laughter.
