Chapter 954: Chapter 952: Wait for Me to Return, Slay Everything Under Heaven!

"Let’s go, Senior Brother Lin Bai, Senior Sister Jian Ruohan!"

"Leave this place to us."

The warriors of the alliance all spoke to Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan stood behind the wall of people, their expressions showing towering rage!

Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong sneered cruelly, "Hahaha, a bunch of ants daring to block us, to kill you all is but a thought away!"

"Kill!"

Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong both unleashed powerful forces, charging into the midst of the people’s wall and started slaughtering!

A fist fell, shattering Ling Shuang’s phantom body directly!

A sword flew, cutting down Qian Shanyun and Chi Hu both!

Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong entered the human wall like reapers, starting a frenzied slaughter.

"Let’s go, Lin Bai, don’t let them sacrifice in vain," Jian Ruohan pulled Lin Bai, fleeing towards the back.

But Lin Bai’s gaze was fixed tightly on Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong, sharp as a sword, as he coldly said, "Wait for my return, if I don’t kill you all, I, Lin Bai, swear not to be human!"

The alliance warriors’ actions deeply moved both Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan.

Especially in this Martial Arts World where the social climate has declined and human hearts are no longer what they once were, it’s too hard to find such people.

"Elder Brother Ruan, Senior Sister Ling Shuang, Qian Shanyun, Chi Hu, I will avenge you! Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong, neither of you will live long," Lin Bai said with a ruthless gaze.

"Lin Bai, stop!"

Hua Jingcheng, seeing Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan flying away and about to leave the battlefield, flew into a rage at once.

Unfortunately, at this moment both Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong were entangled by the alliance warriors.

Although the martial intent of these alliance warriors was not high, there were simply too many of them. Even if Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong could defeat one with each punch or sword strike, it would still consume a great deal of time!

Half an hour later.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan had left the area of the great battle, shaking off the pursuit of Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan stood atop the boundless, scorching Gobi.

The once mighty, over five thousand-strong alliance now had only Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan remaining.

As for the other alliance warriors, Lin Bai now guessed that they probably had all been killed by Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong.

Seeing Lin Bai’s cold face and gloomy expression, Jian Ruohan asked, "Lin Bai, what are your plans now?"

Lin Bai stated firmly, "To find high-ranking Spirit Puppets, kill them, enhance my martial intent, then go back and kill both Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong!"

"The alliance warriors used their bodies to block Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong for us."

"If I don’t avenge this, what face would I, Lin Bai, have to continue cultivating on the Miracle Ridge?"

Lin Bai said fiercely.

Jian Ruohan, seeing Lin Bai like this, knew that Lin Bai was truly enraged.

"Ruohan, I have over a hundred Spirit Crystals from those we’ve killed just now. Let’s divide them and see if we can break through to the Sixth Stage Martial Intent," Lin Bai said to Jian Ruohan in a calm tone.

Jian Ruohan shook her head and said, "I don’t need to, I have just made a breakthrough to the Fifth Level Martial Intent, and it’s impossible for me to make another breakthrough in a short period of time. Instead of dividing all the Spirit Crystals, rendering both of us unable to make a breakthrough,"

"It’s better to let you refine them all and see if you can break through to the Sixth Stage Martial Intent!"

"If you make the breakthrough to the Sixth Stage Martial Intent, your combat power will be at least three times mine. When facing Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong again, you won’t be so constrained."

Jian Ruohan knew very well that allowing Lin Bai to break through the Sixth Stage Martial Intent would be much more powerful than if she did it herself.

Jian Ruohan had absolute faith in Lin Bai’s strength.

She was fairly certain that, within their realm, Lin Bai’s strength must be enough to completely overpower someone of the same level!

"This..." Lin Bai was somewhat hesitant. The Spirit Crystals had been obtained by working together with Jian Ruohan, and if Lin Bai consumed them all by himself at this moment, it would seem somewhat unfair to Jian Ruohan.

Jian Ruohan laughed softly, "Don’t hesitate anymore. Aren’t we going to take revenge for them? Once you make a breakthrough, your strength will be greater, and our hopes for vengeance will also be higher."

"Quickly refine them. I will act as your Dharma Protector. What if Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong catch up to us again?"

Jian Ruohan urged.

"Alright, Ruohan, consider this as me borrowing your Spirit Crystals. I will return them to you later," Lin Bai was not one to be oversensitive, so since Jian Ruohan had spoken, he agreed.

Then, Lin Bai refined all the Spirit Crystals on his person.

An hour later, Lin Bai’s Martial Intent officially broke through to the Sixth Stage Martial Intent.

"Just right, after refining over a hundred and fifty Fifth Level Spirit Crystals, more than sixty Sixth Level Spirit Crystals, and one Seventh-level Spirit Crystal, I’ve broken through to the Sixth Stage Martial Intent," Lin Bai stood up from the ground and happily said.

Jian Ruohan came over at this moment and smiled, "Congratulations!"

Lin Bai gave a cold smile, "This is still not enough. My Sixth Stage Martial Intent is not strong enough to confidently kill Hua Jingcheng and Ning Yunlong. If I want to be absolutely sure, I must attain the Seventh Stage Martial Intent!"

"Once I have Seventh Stage Martial Intent, killing an Eighth Stage Warrior will be as easy as flipping my hand!"

Lin Bai declared firmly, "Let’s go, Ruohan. We’ll go look for Seventh-level Spirit Puppets. I estimate that if I can get a few hundred Seventh Level Spirit Crystals, I might be able to break through to the Seventh Stage Martial Intent!"

"Right now, the Scorching Gobi is teeming with Seventh-level Spirit Puppets!"

"This is a great opportunity!"

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan walked shoulder to shoulder, continuing forward.

More than ten days passed.

Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan teamed up to fight enemies in the Scorching Gobi, slaying numerous Seventh-level Spirit Puppets.

This allowed Lin Bai’s Martial Intent to break through from the early phase of the Sixth Stage Martial Intent to the middle phase, but to break through to the Seventh Stage Martial Intent, there was still a long way to go.

In these ten-plus days,

A multitude of high-ranking Martial Artists poured into the Scorching Gobi, starting to sweep through the Spirit Puppets present.

The number of Spirit Puppets also decreased significantly.

One day, as Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan were scouring the Scorching Gobi looking for any Seventh-level Spirit Puppets,

Suddenly, a flash emanated from the Identity Token.

Both Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan took out their Identity Tokens, as Si Bao’s voice transmitted, "You have received a bounty message."

"Listen," Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan didn’t hesitate in the slightest and immediately opened it.

In these twenty-plus days, aside from the few days at the start when Lin Bai received a deluge of distress messages, for these past ten or so days, Lin Bai had not received any message at all.

Finally, today there was a new message, and Lin Bai was eager to find out exactly what was happening in the Scorching Gobi.

A voice transmitted from the Identity Token, "This is Disciple Zhu Kun of the Sword Art Academy, offering a bounty of one thousand Seventh Level Spirit Crystals for locating a Spirit Puppet with the character ’Ling’ written on its mask. If any fellow Daoists discover its trail, notify me immediately, and you will be rewarded with one thousand Seventh Level Spirit Crystals!"

That was all that was said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai and Jian Ruohan were both startled, "A bounty of one thousand Seventh Level Spirit Crystals for finding a Spirit Puppet?"

"Zhu Kun!" Jian Ruohan exclaimed.

"You know him?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Jian Ruohan laughed, "How could I not? The genius ranked ninth on the Sword List, having a meteoric rise within the Sword Art Academy, and furthermore, he is famously a part of the Nine Swords of Yunhai at the academy!"

"The Nine Swords of Yunhai! Zhu Kun!" Lin Bai immediately understood.

Dugu Yun had once told Lin Bai that the vice dean of the Sword Art Academy had trained nine exceptional talents in the way of the Sword Art, all of whom were masters on the Sword List, known as the Nine Swords of Yunhai!
