Chapter 935 - 933: Breakthrough! Fourth-order Sword Intent! (5 Updates)

Chapter 935: Chapter 933: Breakthrough! Fourth-order Sword Intent! (5 Updates)

At the foot of a hill, Lin Bai sat cross-legged and took out two fourth-level Spirit Crystals, as well as other third-level Spirit Crystals he had obtained from the recent skirmish.

"Not a bad haul!"

"I got seven third-level Spirit Crystals and two fourth-level Spirit Crystals."

"If I include the third-level Spirit Crystal I had previously refined, I now have a total of eight third-level Spirit Crystals."

"I wonder if these seven third-level Spirit Crystals and the two fourth-level Spirit Crystals can help me break through to the Fourth-order Sword Intent!"

A fiery glow emerged in Lin Bai’s eyes.

Immediately, Lin Bai held the Spirit Crystals in his hand. With a thought, the Spirit Crystals transformed into surging earthly forces and were absorbed into his body.

With the power of the Spirit Crystals, Lin Bai’s faint silhouette began to recover some solidity and gradually became more substantial.

After Lin Bai had absorbed all the Spirit Crystals,

His Sword Intention officially broke through to the Fourth-order Sword Intent!

"Fourth-order Sword Intention. With my current Sword Intention, I am a minor power on this Scorching Gobi, as there are few here whose Sword Intent surpasses the fourth order!"

"I should have stronger abilities to survive now."

"Now, I am also qualified to explore the outskirts of Martial Intent Mountain. How could a Seventh-level Spirit Puppet appear in such an inconspicuous place?"

"An abnormality betrays a ghostly cause!"

Lin Bai rose silently from the ground, looked around to make sure there were no Spirit Puppets nearby, and then sprinted away in a certain direction using his movement technique.

"Si Bao, are there any messages for assistance?" Lin Bai took out his token and asked.

"There are. In the past three hours, we have received over one thousand five hundred messages for assistance," Si Bao replied. "Would you like to listen to them?"

"Let’s hear them."

Lin Bai nodded.

Si Bao then played many of the messages asking for help to Lin Bai.

"Enough!" After listening to half of them, Lin Bai shook his head and said, "It seems a significant event is truly unfolding upon this insignificant Scorching Gobi."

"Otherwise, why would so many high-level Spirit Puppets appear?"

Lin Bai’s expression turned grim. The large number of high-order Spirit Puppets was not good news for him.

Although Lin Bai was considered a minor expert among the warriors of the Scorching Gobi with his Fourth-order Sword Intention, if he encountered Sixth or Seventh Level Spirit Puppets, they would have the power to kill him with one slash!

Moreover, among the recent calls for help, Lin Bai heard one message mentioning a Ninth Level Spirit Puppet!

A Ninth Level Spirit Puppet!

To say without exaggeration, Ninth Level Spirit Puppets were extremely rare existences even within Martial Intent Mountain, and countless Strong Ones at the Eighth Stage sought them.

Who would have thought that such a king amongst Spirit Puppets in the grand Martial Intent Mountain would appear in this bird-shunned Scorching Gobi?

"What in the world is happening?"

As Lin Bai sped along, he pondered the situation.

Since it was Lin Bai’s first time at Martial Intent Mountain, and he had not encountered such an event before, he was utterly confused.

Ahead, three-meter-high flames rose up from the Earth, extremely fierce.

Suddenly, Lin Bai saw five warriors frantically rushing forward through the sea of flames, each one visibly panicked, with faces full of urgency.

Seeing them, Lin Bai immediately stopped and watched from a distance.

His gaze turned to the rear of the five.

Indeed.

Behind them, about thirty Third-level Spirit Puppets were in hot pursuit, frantically chasing after them!

"Brothers of the Sword Art Academy, save us!" The five, seeing Lin Bai standing ahead, promptly cried out for help.

"Thirty-odd Spirit Puppets, not so easy to handle," Lin Bai muttered with a dark expression, and then his figure flashed as he rapidly left the scene: "With the situation unclear, it’s better not to act rashly!"

"What if one of those thirty-odd Spirit Puppets is hiding a Seventh-level one. Wouldn’t that be a terrible loss for me!"

"Forget it. Seeing their speed, although they can’t shake off those Third-level Spirit Puppets, they shouldn’t get caught by them either!"

After giving them a casual glance, Lin Bai was about to leave!

"He ran? Mad, you coward, you craven!" The person who had previously asked Lin Bai for help saw him turning to flee, and immediately burst out cursing in anger.

"Never mind, forget it. Senior Brother Hu Yunhu, why bother with a coward?" Another disciple of the Sword Art Academy spoke beside the man.

Just then.

The only female among the five saw Lin Bai and called out, "Senior Brother Lin Bai, please save us."

On hearing this, Lin Bai found the voice somewhat familiar and turned his head to look.

He coincidentally saw the woman among the five, with a refined appearance, comely features, a vibrant and endearing look, exuding a girl-next-door vibe.

"Lin Ling?"

Lin Bai was startled. This woman was none other than the one he had previously met during the New Green Mountain Assessment, who had also kindly warned him to be careful of the Spider Queen in the Swamp.

She was a girl with a kind heart.

Unable to bear leaving her behind, Lin Bai immediately turned back.

Seeing Lin Bai return, both Lin Ling and Hu Yunhu’s faces lit up with joy.

The five hurriedly approached, and Hu Yunhu looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Are you alone? Do you have any other teammates?"

"Just me alone," Lin Bai nodded and said.

"What! Just you alone?" Hu Yunhu was somewhat angry, grinding his teeth and said, "I thought I had encountered a savior. It turns out it’s just you, no help at all. You’d better run fast!"

"I see you’re quite adept at fleeing, must be running away often, huh?"

Hu Yunhu said coldly.

Lin Bai was taken aback, silently glancing at him before asking Lin Ling, "Is it only these thirty-something Third Grade Spirit Puppets that are pursuing you?"

Lin Ling looked at Lin Bai with joy, nodding vigorously, her voice soft and pleasant as she said, "Mhmm, it’s only these thirty-something Third Grade Spirit Puppets. Initially, there were even more Spirit Puppets, but then a group of Senior Brothers appeared, wanting to slay the Spirit Puppets!"

"Unfortunately, they didn’t know that among that group of Spirit Puppets was a Sixth Level Spirit Puppet, which killed those Senior Brothers, and then we ran. Now, it’s only these dozen or so Third Grade Spirit Puppets chasing us."

Lin Ling hurriedly explained the situation to Lin Bai.

Hearing this, Lin Bai’s face brightened, "If there are only these thirty-something Third Grade Spirit Puppets, then it should be easy to deal with!"

"Easy to deal with? Haha, big talker!" Hu Yunhu said disdainfully, "If you’re capable, then kill all these thirty-something Spirit Puppets and save us!"

"If you don’t have that ability, don’t block our way!"

Hu Yunhu said with extreme impatience.

Lin Bai looked at Hu Yunhu with an unkind expression, his voice cold, "Being polite doesn’t mean I can be bullied!"

"Speak nicely, and I might share some information with you; but if you keep being so disrespectful, be careful of your own life!"

Lin Bai said sternly as he glared at Hu Yunhu.

Hu Yunhu was startled, mocking, "Heh, can’t one even speak if you’re not up to the mark? Prove your worth by killing all these Third Grade Spirit Puppets!"

"If you can do that, then I’ll be impressed!"

Lin Bai smirked coldly, no longer paying attention to Hu Yunhu and the others, and saw the thirty-something Third Grade Spirit Puppets swiftly approaching, step by step he walked over.

"Senior Brother Lin Bai, let me help you!" Lin Ling jogged over to Lin Bai’s side, conjuring a Treasure Sword in her hands.

Her Martial Intent was only at the second stage, very low!

"Sister Lin Ling, why bother with him? If he wants to go and get himself killed, let him. Let’s run!" Hu Yunhu shouted urgently at Lin Ling, as he watched those Third Grade Spirit Puppets getting closer and was feeling quite anxious.

Upon hearing Hu Yunhu urging her to run, Lin Ling was somewhat torn. Just now, Lin Bai was going to leave on his own, and it was she who called for Lin Bai to come back.

Now that she had called Lin Bai back, yet she was to run away, Lin Ling felt very sorry for Lin Bai.

Lin Bai chuckled lightly, "No need, just stand by and watch!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ling showed a look of surprise.

No need for me to act? Just stand by and watch?

Lin Ling was shocked. Could it be that Lin Bai was strong enough to kill these Third Grade Spirit Puppets?

"Haven’t used the Mo Wen Sword Second Form since I practiced it, it’s perfect to try the power of the Mo Wen Sword Second Form on this group of Third Grade Spirit Puppets!"

Lin Bai looked at the approaching Third Grade Spirit Puppets, his eyes suddenly flashing with a cold light.

The sword blade shone with a resplendent sharp glow.

The terrifying Sword Intention shook the Void in all directions.

Lin Ling was shocked, feeling an oppressive power emanating from Lin Bai’s sword blade!

It wasn’t just Lin Ling who was shocked; Hu Yunhu and the other three disciples were also staring at Lin Bai in astonishment.

This power, too strong!

"Fourth-order Sword Intention!" Standing beside Lin Bai, Lin Ling could clearly feel the power of the Sword Intention emanating from him, a full two stages higher than hers!

A warrior with Fourth-order Sword Intention on the outskirts of the Martial Intent Mountain in the Scorching Gobi was already considered a strong one.

That’s because almost all warriors who reached the fourth stage in the Scorching Gobi would leave to go deeper into the Martial Intent Mountain, seeking even more powerful Spirit Puppets.

In the blink of an eye, the group of Third Grade Spirit Puppets was already within ten meters of Lin Bai. The cold light on their sword blades had already burst forth, attacking Lin Bai!

"Mo Wen Sword! Second Form!"

"Sweeping Thousands of Soldiers!"

Lin Bai, with an indifferent face, brandished his Sharp Sword, releasing a world-shattering Sword Qi that bombarded all directions, sweeping across heaven and earth.

The sweep of Sword Qi upon those Third Grade Spirit Puppets was like hitting papier-mâché; under this god-slaying, immortal-eradicating Qi, they were directly obliterated.

With one sword, all was silent!

With that one sword, Lin Bai vanquished all the Spirit Puppets rushing towards him!

Then, Lin Bai moved swiftly, gathering all the thirty-something Spirit Crystals into his hands, not in a hurry to refine them but rather stowing them away.

After doing all this, Lin Bai finally turned to look at Lin Ling and Hu Yunhu and the others.

At this moment, they, too, had been frightened by Lin Bai’s sword into a daze, each one staring blankly, so surprised that their mouths hung open wide enough to fit two eggs!

Too strong!

To kill thirty-something Third Grade Spirit Puppets with one sword, saying this would make others think it’s a boast!

Lin Bai turned to Hu Yunhu and asked coldly, "Do you have anything else to say now?"
