Lin Bai was surrounded by Demon Sect martial artists, watching the gravely injured Feng Wenjun and Feng Wujun. Feng Wenjun defied Shen Qin's demand to join the sect, unleashing 'Wind Rise God Manifest' only to be crushed by Shen Qin's counterattack. As Shen Qin's fist descended lethally, Feng Wujun sacrificed himself to shove his brother aside, perishing under the devastating blow. Lan Yuxin used a Martial Soul secret skill to aid Lin Bai's breakthrough but was injured and rescued by Hu Xiner. Devastated, Feng Wenjun stared at his brother's corpse as Shen Qin raised his fist once more.

Lin Bai suddenly showed up right in front of Feng Wenjun, whirling around to glare at Shen Qin while an intense, unparalleled killing intent exploded in his gaze!

"Lin Bai!"

Shen Qin glanced downward and spotted Lin Bai underfoot, tiny like an ant. Shock filled his eyes.

Lin Bai rose slowly from before Feng Wenjun, hovering right in front of Shen Qin’s massive face, staring coldly at him before speaking in an icy tone: "Shen Qin, are you courting death?"

Gazing at Lin Bai, fury blazed in Shen Qin’s heart. Memories from the Ice Lake Sea flashed through his mind—how Lin Bai arrived with powerful allies and wrecked all the Demon Sect’s schemes.

In the end, though, Shen Qin couldn’t recall much. He had no clue how he escaped the Ice Lake Sea.

Shen Qin bellowed: "Lin Bai, what exactly happened in the Ice Lake Sea? Why are so many of my memories missing?"

Lin Bai stared back at Shen Qin with a frosty look, his eyes chilling and ruthless, then uttered coldly: "Want to know? Go to Hell and ask Yama!"

"Flying swords!"

With a mere thought from Lin Bai, two flying swords burst forth from his body, streaking straight toward Shen Qin.

"Perfect timing!" Shen Qin snarled furiously, swinging his colossal hundred-zhang frame to unleash a punch at Lin Bai, his features twisted in wrath.

The punch’s horrifying might warped the void, demolishing all in its path. Upon colliding with the flying swords, it hurled both of them flying back.

Right then, Lin Bai shot skyward, the Demonic Sword whipping out from the Blackwood Scabbard, unleashing dazzling icy beams that pierced the Cloud Sky—one sword beam cleaved the heavens, its frosty edge crashing down upon Shen Qin’s gigantic form.

"Zhanlong Drawing Sword Skill!"

A single sword stunned the heavens, earth-shaking sword qi plummeted, obliterating everything in a hundred-meter radius!

Lin Bai’s descending sword left everyone stunned.

The Wending Realm powerhouses clashing high in the Cloud Sky all peered down, utterly appalled by this strike, speechless in awe.

"What a powerful sword!"

"Unbelievable—a warrior at the third layer of Death Reversal Realm unleashing such might!"

"Who’s this guy? One of our Feng Family warriors?"

Shock rippled through the Wending Realm experts overhead in the Cloud Sky.

The Feng Family Patriarch gazed down, astonishment crossing his face as he exclaimed: "The Saint of the East Continent Academy, Lin Bai!"

Upon hearing the Patriarch speak, nearby warriors went still, then fixed their gazes on Lin Bai with looks of pure shock.

"So he is Lin Bai!"

It finally dawned on them—this was the renowned Saint Lin Bai from the East Continent Academy!

As the sword descended, its immense power rattled the Cloud Sky.

The blazing sword beam struck Shen Qin’s body, carving from his left shoulder clear to the right abdomen, flinging a chunk of flesh aside with the gash!

"Ah!" A piercing wail tore from Shen Qin’s lips.

Clearly, Lin Bai’s blade had dealt Shen Qin devastating, unprecedented damage.

Shen Qin’s hundred-zhang body lurched back unsteadily.

Witnessing Shen Qin’s heavy wounds, joy flickered across Lin Bai’s face, and the two flying swords surged anew, the sword array’s might erupting as the blades, like divine weapons, pierced Shen Qin’s flesh in humiliation, wildly ravaging his meridians and bones!

Puh chi! Puh chi!

Blood sprayed repeatedly from Shen Qin’s mouth as he stumbled back.

His footing grew wildly unsteady, on the verge of collapsing.

"You... you... you..." Shen Qin stared at Lin Bai in utter disbelief; right now, Lin Bai seemed even stronger than back at the East Continent Academy.

Since fleeing the East Continent Academy, Shen Qin had received the Demon Sect’s full support, skyrocketing his cultivation to the Sixth Layer of Death Reversal Realm.

Shen Qin believed his current power put him at the peak among his peers.

He had figured that even against Lin Bai, he could crush him effortlessly now.

Yet reality hit hard—he couldn’t survive even one sword from Lin Bai, despite Lin Bai’s cultivation being three realms below his!

"Save me... save me... Senior, save me!" Panic-stricken, Shen Qin cried out toward a distant mountain behind him as Lin Bai’s flying swords bore down!

At that instant, from a far-off peak beyond the Storm Mountain Range, a black-robed elder snapped open his eyes, a piercing glint locking onto the Storm Mountain Range as he growled coldly: "Humph, to run into the Saint of the East Continent Academy here!"

"What a pity you’ve crossed me—even the Heavenly King couldn’t escape death today!"

Perched cross-legged on the mountain peak, the black-robed elder’s face twisted viciously; he lifted a finger, pointing at Lin Bai, summoning a colossal force in the empty air.

This energy ripped the void apart, blasting directly at Lin Bai’s chest!

Lin Bai, poised to slay Shen Qin, jolted at the abrupt lethal assault, abandoning all else to activate his arts and defend with everything he had!

"Flying swords! Tai Chi Dual Elemental Sword Array! Formation Protect!"

"Qingmu Divine Thunder!"

"Red Moon Nine Tribulations Body!"

Sensing the deadly force closing in, Lin Bai unleashed every defensive technique at his disposal, battling fiercely to repel it.

The overwhelming power slammed into Lin Bai, shredding the sword array and Qingmu Divine Thunder before striking his chest.

It punched clean through, blood erupting from Lin Bai’s back in a gush.

Lin Bai tumbled backward messily, crashing to the ground. Though alive, he glanced at his chest to see a finger-thick bloody hole oozing blood!

"Hmm? Didn’t die? This Saint of the East Continent Academy has real talent!"

"Humph, looks like I’ll need to get serious to take you down!"

The mountain-perched elder leaped to his feet, channeling energy before jabbing at the void again, unleashing destructive power onto Lin Bai once more.

Fear gripped Lin Bai’s features in that instant.

Lin Bai braced to sacrifice his Demon Body against this horrifying attack.

Yet in this dire moment, a soft energy enveloped Lin Bai, instantly snuffing out the incoming threat!

"Heavenly Dog True Person, since you’re here, why hide? Show yourself!"

An aged voice boomed across the Storm Mountain Range right then.

The mountain elder smirked faintly, striding through the void to hover above the Storm Mountain Range, scanning coldly before sneering: "Feng Tianqing, you’re still kicking!"

Next, a tattered-robed elder emerged from hiding within the Storm Mountain Range, body bent, tottering every three steps, stumbling every five, scarcely able to stay upright!

"Seventh Ancestor!" The Feng Family Patriarch stared at the unsteady elder in astonishment, shock flooding his eyes.
