Chapter 976: Chapter 974: Slaying the Undying Stone Demon! (6 more)

Lin Bai’s sword descended, dealing a heavy blow to the Undying Stone Demon!

"Aargh!" A piercing roar emanated from the mouth of the Undying Stone Demon. Its pair of stone-crafted eyes glared at Lin Bai with furious rage, "An ant dares to harm me!"

The Undying Stone Demon retaliated swiftly, throwing a punch that came crashing down with such terrifying power that it shattered the air in its path, exploding outwards.

"Hmph!" Lin Bai snorted coldly. Facing the power of the punch, he advanced instead of retreating. He raised his Qingge Sword, and a vast surge of sword aura flashed out, his sword colliding with the Undying Stone Demon’s fist.

Boom! A loud noise.

The terrifying power between the two exploded on impact.

In an instant, a remarkable scene unfolded.

At the precise moment when Lin Bai’s sword aura and the Undying Stone Demon’s terrifying punch collided, the Undying Stone Demon’s fist exploded into pieces, turning into loose stones and flying outwards!

The whole arm of the Undying Stone Demon shattered instantly.

"Damn, how is it that you, kid, are even stronger than the person I encountered that day!"

"I’m seriously out of luck."

"I might not be able to defeat you, but don’t think you can catch up to me!"

"I’m out of here!"

With a scream of agony, the Undying Stone Demon glared hatefully at Lin Bai before it suddenly began to sprint away at a frenzied pace.

The Undying Stone Demon, towering at a hundred meters in height, could cover a vast distance with a single stride, and as it ran with great speed, it quickly vanished from everyone’s view.

"My God!"

"This man is incredibly strong!"

"This white-robed swordsman is definitely not an unknown, seeing as his sword skill is so formidable. Could he be a master from the Sword Art Academy’s Sword List?"

"I am a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, and I can tell you responsibly, I have not seen this person’s name or face on the Sword List!"

"Then who exactly is this man? If he is not a master from the Sword List, how could he possibly possess such terrifying strength!"

Every warrior who witnessed this was dumbfounded and said so.

"Oh no, the Undying Stone Demon is getting away!"

Many warriors saw the Undying Stone Demon start to run at great speed.

It’s running away?

Just now it was so ferocious, and now it’s actually turning tail to flee?

"Trying to escape?"

Lin Bai fixed his gaze. In just a breath’s time, the Undying Stone Demon had already rushed out of the Nine Turtles Mountain region and its speed kept increasing, disappearing at the horizon!

"Flying Swords!"

"Sword-controlling Skill!"

Lin Bai uttered a soft cry. The flying sword soared out from his Dantian, and stepping upon it, Lin Bai chased after his target, transforming into a streak of light that disappeared into the horizon!

"My goodness, how can he be so fast!"

Once again, all the warriors were left aghast at Lin Bai’s departure speed!

Even Xu Ning, ranked one hundred on the Hunter Ranking, had an expression of disbelief on his face.

Lin Bai stepped on his flying sword, and in a blink, he caught up with the Undying Stone Demon!

A sword aura furiously slashed down, shattering the other arm of the Undying Stone Demon!

"Damn it!" The Undying Stone Demon looked back and saw Lin Bai still in pursuit, and immediately roared angrily, "Ha ha, you think you can kill me? With your strength, it’s not possible!"

"Even if you smash my body, I can regenerate!"

"Stop deluding yourself with trying to kill me. You simply can’t!"

The Undying Stone Demon howled at Lin Bai with a fearless confidence.

"Is that so? Others can’t kill you because they haven’t discovered your weakness, but I have!" Lin Bai stared at the Undying Stone Demon with a cold smile.

Upon hearing this, the Undying Stone Demon suddenly looked at Lin Bai in shock.

Weakness.

Indeed, the Undying Stone Demon had a weakness, one that could instantly kill it!

"What a joke, I am transformed from the spirit stones of heaven and earth, indestructible, unkillable—I am immortal, what weakness could I possibly have!"

"Kid, do you think your gibberish can scare me?"

The Undying Stone Demon said coldly.

"I’m spouting nonsense? Then let’s try and see if I can kill you!"

Lin Bai, riding on a flying sword, suddenly surged in speed, charging directly at the Undying Stone Demon’s glabella from a strange angle!

Above the Undying Stone Demon’s glabella, there was a fingertip-sized stone. Had Lin Bai not looked carefully, he would have failed to notice its presence!

Seeing Lin Bai targeting that stone, the Undying Stone Demon’s expression changed dramatically, as if someone had grabbed it by the tail!

"Not good!"

The Undying Stone Demon cried out in horror, just about to defend.

But Lin Bai’s sword was swift as lightning, instantly striking the stone.

With a loud bang!

The sword pierced through, and Lin Bai shattered the Undying Stone Demon’s head along with that stone!

Afterward, the Undying Stone Demon said in despair, "How did you find my life spirit stone..."

After uttering these words, the Undying Stone Demon collapsed to the ground, its body went limp, and the stones of its body started to scatter everywhere.

The small stone that had just been hit by Lin Bai suddenly flew up from the ground, darting away into the distance.

"Still trying to run?"

Lin Bai’s expression darkened, and he pursued on his flying sword.

"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me," the small stone transmitted the Undying Stone Demon’s pitiful screams, "If you shatter my life spirit stone, I’ll truly be doomed!"

"Great hero, spare my life, please."

The Undying Stone Demon begged pitifully.

"In your dreams!" Lin Bai glared at the stone with ruthless determination and delivered a furious slash with his sword.

The overwhelming sword aura, with unmatched sharpness, cleaved the stone into fragments!

After the stone shattered, nine drops of golden blood sprayed out.

"Devouring Sword Spirit, absorb!"

Lin Bai activated the Devouring Sword Spirit rapidly, and a terrifying force absorbed the nine drops of golden blood into his body, transforming them into surging spiritual power.

"Human Elixir Realm Seventh Layer."

After absorbing the Undying Stone Demon’s Demon Blood, Lin Bai’s cultivation realm immediately broke through to the Human Elixir Realm Seventh Layer.

From the moment Lin Bai saw the Undying Stone Demon, he sensed something strange.

Lin Bai had once visited the mountain that the Undying Stone Demon had transformed into and found nothing unusual.

After the Undying Stone Demon stood up, Lin Bai then saw that after shattering its body, there was no blood, leading him to speculate that the gigantic body of the Undying Stone Demon might not be its true form!

Sure enough, whenever the Undying Stone Demon channeled its power, a surge of force would emanate from its glabella.

That’s when Lin Bai confirmed that the small stone above the Undying Stone Demon’s glabella was indeed its true form!

And when Sword Demon severely wounded the Undying Stone Demon before, he had inadvertently hit this small stone, causing the Undying Stone Demon to flee in a dire state!

Lin Bai flew over, gathered the fragments of the Undying Stone Demon, and stored them into his storage bag.

"Although I’ve absorbed and refined the Demon Blood, the corpse of the Undying Stone Demon is still worth fifty thousand points!"

"With the Undying Stone Demon dead, it’s time to check out the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower."

Lin Bai descended into the mountains, having lost interest in Nine Turtles Mountain, and immediately left.

Pulling out the map, Lin Bai wasted no time in heading straight for the location of the Earth Core Fire Lotus Flower.

Just as Lin Bai had left, Xu Ning and a large group of Warriors arrived at the site, witnessing the aftermath of the great battle and feeling the aura of the Undying Stone Demon gradually dissipating in the air.

"He actually killed the Undying Stone Demon!"

"It seems that before long, a monster will emerge at the Hero Ranking Martial Arts Competition."

Xu Ning and the numerous disciples all said in astonishment.

"Hero Ranking Martial Arts Competition, Nine Academies Great Competition, there’s only one month left!"
