Lin Bai and Tang Yuezhi are in Dragon City anticipating the arrival of other families. The Li Family, led by Li Xiao and advised by the formation master Mao Xin, arrives with a large force. They aim to seize the Commander Flag and use a formation to defend it until dawn. Li Xiao offers Tang Yuezhi a chance to surrender the flag, but Lin Bai intervenes, leading to a swift, brutal display of his power as he kills a Li Family warrior.

The first individual to initiate an assault on Lin Bai was a branch disciple from the esteemed Li Family, known for their considerable might within the clan.

However, before this challenger could even draw within ten paces of the Stone Stele, they were bisected by an astonishingly peculiar white light!

Even before their fallen form could hit the ground, the assembled crowd remained utterly stunned into silence!

Li Xiao's eyes flickered, brimming with disbelief.

At this precise moment, the two beams of white light that had dispatched the challenger began to orbit Lin Bai, morphing into a pair of agile flying swords.

Then, with a mere thought from Lin Bai, the two flying swords gracefully detached, hovering a hundred meters away.

"Don’t say I didn’t offer you a chance!"

"Consider the flying swords as your boundary; one hundred meters is forbidden ground. If anyone dares to cross that line... they shall perish!"

Lin Bai declared with a chilling tone, his expression utterly impassive.

Establishing the two flying swords as markers, Lin Bai delineated a forbidden zone spanning one hundred meters in radius, with the Stone Stele at its core.

Lin Bai's decree was crystal clear: the flying swords marked the limit, enter within a hundred meters and face death!

Observing the twin flying swords patrolling the hundred-meter perimeter, Tang Yuezhi's eyes widened in shock. The mere presence of these two flying swords had instantly annihilated a peak expert of the Li Family, one who had reached the Great Perfection stage of the Death Reversal Realm.

What an overwhelming display of power!

The martial artists of the Li Family were equally taken aback.

"What is happening? How was Li Yun eliminated so swiftly?"

"Are those two flying swords truly THAT formidable?"

"Hmph! I refuse to believe it. Can two mere flying swords truly deter so many of us?"

"I will go!"

As these words were spoken, an additional seven warriors from the Li Family, their disbelief fueling their courage, surged forward towards the Stone Stele.

A smirk of disdain played on Lin Bai's lips as he remained seated upon the Stone Stele, utterly motionless. With a simple mental command, the two flying swords sprang to life, darting towards the seven charging warriors.

With unparalleled sharpness, the flying swords moved in tandem, slicing across the throats of the seven combatants. In a flash, their heads were severed, tumbling to the ground alongside their lifeless bodies.

This gruesome spectacle intensified the horror gripping the Li Family's martial artists: "What! How is this possible? Are these two flying swords truly so potent?"

Tang Yuezhi, too, was aghast, her gaze lifting to meet Lin Bai, who sat serenely atop the Stone Stele. She grasped that throughout the entire ordeal, Lin Bai had not budged an inch; it was solely his two flying swords that had consecutively felled eight warriors of the Li Family.

Li Xiao's face contorted, turning a furious shade of green, his expression one of sheer disbelief as he witnessed the unfolding events.

Mao Xin, a Guest Official standing beside Li Xiao, advised, "Young Master Li Xiao, this individual is proving to be quite troublesome. Do not engage him for an extended period. Let the Li Family's warriors launch a full-scale assault and overwhelm them!"

"Then I shall immediately prepare the Magic Array!"

Mao Xin stated in a hushed tone.

Li Xiao nodded, then turned to Tang Yuezhi, his voice laced with impatience, "Yuezhi, this is your final opportunity. If you still refuse my offer, do not hold me responsible... for any ruthlessness I may show!"

Before Tang Yuezhi could utter a word, Lin Bai interjected, "There is no need to bother Tang Yuezhi further. I am in command here, and as I have already stated, anyone who steps within a hundred meters shall meet their end!"

"If you doubt my words, feel free to test them!"

Li Xiao glared at Lin Bai, the murderous intent in his heart beginning to surface, and he declared coldly, "Then I shall indeed test them. Let's see if your two flying swords can possibly halt over three hundred warriors of my Li Family!"

"Attack!"

Li Xiao's patience evaporated entirely. With an angry roar, more than three hundred warriors from the Li Family surged forward as one, descending like a deluge from the heavens to assault Lin Bai and Tang Yuezhi.

"Kill!"

"Perish!"

"Slay these two and seize the Commander's Banner!"

The martial artists of the Li Family bellowed their war cries in unison.

Witnessing the overwhelming number of approaching adversaries, Tang Yuezhi, disregarding her injuries, pushed herself up from the ground, preparing to stand her ground!

At that critical juncture, Lin Bai descended from the Stone Stele, gently pushed Tang Yuezhi back down, and commanded in a low voice, "You do not need to intervene. Focus on your recovery. Leave these individuals to me!"

As he spoke, Lin Bai took a single step forward, and the Demonic Sword, previously stored away, flew from his Storage Bag into his waiting hand.

The two flying swords instantaneously converged, their sharp points aimed at the entire contingent of Li Family warriors.

"Kill!"

Lin Bai's eyes darkened with resolve, and the two flying swords mirrored his intent, plunging with lethal precision into the dense mass of enemies.

A cacophony of screams erupted instantly as individual Li Family warriors were pierced through by the swift, deadly arcs of the two flying swords, their cries of agony echoing incessantly!

"Ahhh!"

"These two flying swords bypassed my defenses with effortless ease..."

"My shield is an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact, yet it's as if it's made of paper, easily pierced by these flying swords!"

"This is bad; this flying sword is coming right at me... save me... ahhh..."

Screams erupted from the Li Family's martial artists.

Within moments, the number of warriors who fell to the flying swords surpassed thirty.

At this juncture, many warriors, displaying a semblance of prudence, chose not to directly confront the flying swords. Instead, they maneuvered to evade the blades' deadly trajectory and charged towards Lin Bai and Tang Yuezhi.

"These flying swords may be potent, but if Lin Bai and Tang Yuezhi are eliminated, they become useless!"

<

"Precisely! Flying swords derive their might from the controller. Eliminate the controller, and they are no more than inert metal!"

These Li Family martial artists skirted the path of the flying swords and hurtled towards Lin Bai!

At this critical moment, Lin Bai retreated from the Stone Stele, made a forward gesture, and a surge of Three-Colored Divine Thunder erupted from his being, manifesting as a storm of destruction around him, painting the sky in a tempestuous spectacle.

"Thunder Annihilation!"

Lin Bai thrust his hand forward, the Three-Colored Divine Thunder roaring like an enraged dragon, shaking the very heavens.

The Divine Thunder made contact with a martial artist's body, resulting in a thunderous detonation that tore them apart into a mist of blood.

In that instant, Lin Bai surged forward, plunging into the enemy ranks like a whirlwind of death.

The Three-Colored Thunderbolt continuously flashed across his form; the terrifying might of the Divine Thunder imbued Lin Bai's fists with a power capable of shattering the heavens and the earth. Anyone caught in Lin Bai's onslaught met a swift end, either grievously wounded or instantly slain!

"Ahhh..." the screams intensified.

Of all the Li Family martial artists who dared to enter the hundred-meter forbidden zone, almost every single one was annihilated by Lin Bai in mere moments.

Fifty bodies lay strewn across the ground, their blood forming a crimson stream!

"Retreat! All Li Family martial artists must withdraw beyond the hundred-meter mark..." Li Xiao commanded urgently.

Witnessing Lin Bai's instant annihilation of over fifty warriors, Li Xiao's complexion was etched with profound fear.

Upon hearing Li Xiao's decree, the Li Family martial artists scrambled to retreat, vacating the hundred-meter perimeter.

As they cast their gazes back, they beheld Lin Bai standing amidst the fallen, an imposing figure akin to a God Slayer, instilling an primal sense of dread.

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed as he fixed his gaze upon Lin Bai, a low tone escaping his lips, "Three-Colored Thunderbolt... Black Water Divine Thunder, Qingmu Divine Thunder, Houtu Divine Thunder. In Black Water City, only one individual can cultivate more than two types of Thunderbolts..."

"Sword Demon!"

Li Xiao uttered the title while looking intently at Lin Bai, his voice barely above a whisper.

Mao Xin's expression contorted with a measure of fear as he, too, observed Lin Bai.

Lin Bai effortlessly rose to his feet once more, settling onto the Stone Stele, his gaze sweeping coldly over the retreating Li Family martial artists.

At this juncture, Li Xiao, having already deduced Lin Bai's identity, turned his attention to Tang Yuezhi. "I never anticipated the Tang Family would enlist the Sword Demon's aid!"
