Lin Bai is surrounded by Scholar Ye Jing, Liu Yuan, the Violent-tempered Woman, and warriors from the Tianji tribe. After ensuring Ye Suxin's safety, Lin Bai faces his attackers. He quickly defeats Liu Yuan and Scholar Ye Jing, but is forced to catch the Violent-tempered Woman's punch. The Bald Elder intervenes, saving the Violent-tempered Woman and confronting Lin Bai. Despite using his Unbeatable Sword Skill to reach the Wending Realm, Lin Bai barely blocks the Elder's casual strike, realizing the vast difference in their power.

After deploying the Unbeatable Sword Skill, Lin Bai’s cultivation reached the First Level of the Wending Realm.

His gaze coldly fixed on the Bald Elder, he whispered, "With my current strength, if I don’t see the Unbeatable Sword Skill performed at the Fifth Layer, or even the Sixth Layer, it’s impossible to defeat him!"

"But if I perform the ’Unbeatable Sword Skill’ to the Fifth Layer, the damage to my body is too great; even if I defeat him, or scare him away, I would at least be weakened for half a year to recover!"

"Moreover, if it’s serious, I might directly lose my cultivation again!"

As Lin Bai thought of this, his eyes slowly turned cold.

Although the Unbeatable Sword Skill could help Lin Bai defeat the Bald Elder, or even annihilate him, the harm it would cause to Lin Bai’s body was unacceptable!

Unless it was a matter of life and death, Lin Bai planned to deploy the Unbeatable Sword Skill only beyond the Fourth Layer.

"Besides, fighting here might harm the innocent..." Lin Bai thought again, looking at Ye Suxin and Lin Ye on the guest ship.

Even if Lin Bai deployed the ’Unbeatable Sword Skill’ at this moment and squared off with the Bald Elder, two Warriors comparable to the Sixth Level of the Wending Realm fighting would surely trigger a monstrous aftershock, and in this aftermath, the guest ship and Ye Suxin would likely be affected!

"Forget it, I’ll find a way to lure him away from the vicinity of the guest ship, and after shaking him off, I’ll use the Flying Swords to escape!" Lin Bai made up his mind, coldly looking at the Bald Elder, saying, "Fighting here is too restrictive!"

"If you really want the ’Qiankun Beast-controlling Art’ and the ’Dragon Slaying Skill’, then follow me!"

Lin Bai gave a cold smile to the Bald Elder, immediately turned around, transformed into a long rainbow, and rushed toward the Manwu River.

"Hmph, ridiculous, do you think you have any power to resist in front of me?" The Bald Elder said with determination.

Subsequently, the Bald Elder looked at Liu Yuan and the others on the guest ship and coldly said, "Kill those two, I’ll kill Lin Bai!"

As he spoke, the Bald Elder flew and dashed toward Lin Bai’s direction.

As the Bald Elder and Lin Bai went one after the other,

A Scholar missing half his face’s flesh, Ye Jing, slightly turned his head, looking at Ye Suxin and Lin Ye with unprecedented cruelty and coldness in his eyes: "This is what your fiancé left us, and we will reclaim it all from you!"

And Liu Yuan, with a limp arm, also looked at Ye Suxin and Lin Ye with hatred: "That’s right, the pain caused by Lin Bai, today we will have you repay a hundredfold!"

The Violent-tempered Woman also coldly looked at Ye Suxin and Lin Ye.

Ye Suxin remained expressionless, her gaze gradually turning cold.

At this moment, Lin Ye took a step forward, looking at the three with cold eyes.

Lin Ye stayed behind, following Lin Bai’s order, to protect Ye Suxin.

"Get out of my way!" Scholar Ye Jing rushed angrily, attacking Lin Ye.

Lin Ye roared furiously, throwing a punch.

With a bang,

Scholar Ye Jing was sent flying by Lin Ye’s punch, landing embarrassingly at the edge of the guest ship, and after falling, blood constantly spurted from his mouth as he looked at Lin Ye in shock.

"You... how can you possess such power!" Scholar Ye Jing got up from the ground in disbelief, looking at Lin Ye.

Scholar Ye Jing thought that even if he wasn’t Lin Bai’s match, he was still a distinguished disciple selected by the Southern Continent Divine Gate and even ranked in the top eight at the Monarch’s Birthday Celebration of the Venerable Lord of Thousands Treasures. Lin Ye couldn’t possibly be his opponent!

But Scholar Ye Jing never imagined that the ugly-looking man, Lin Ye, in front of him was the legendary Dragon Elephant Devouring Heaven Body.

If it weren’t for Lin Bai’s overwhelming brilliance, many people would have ignored Lin Ye’s existence.

Otherwise, with Lin Ye’s Dragon Elephant Devouring Heaven Body, he could contend with the likes of Yan Ji and Su Tingzong.

"Damn it, all together!" Liu Yuan shouted angrily.

The Violent-tempered Woman gritted her teeth and hissed, "We can’t beat Lin Bai, but I don’t believe we can’t beat you!"

The three teamed up again, charging toward Lin Ye.

Lin Ye leaped forward, battling fiercely with the three.

Although Lin Ye was extremely strong, his intelligence was not high, unlike Lin Bai who was as cunning as a demon; hence, for the time being, Lin Ye couldn’t defeat all three of them!

Ye Suxin quietly watched the battle between Lin Ye and the three, without worry.

Instead, Ye Suxin looked in the direction where Lin Bai and the Bald Elder flew, her gaze gradually icy.

At this moment, an old man leaning on a walking stick emerged from the shadows, came to Ye Suxin’s side, and whispered, "Sect Leader, Lin Bai is probably not his match!"

This old man suddenly appearing behind Ye Suxin was the Snake King.

Ever since the Snake King and the Wolf King met with Ye Suxin on the Southern Continent, they hadn’t separated, always protecting Ye Suxin in secret.

Ye Suxin said expressionlessly, "That man possesses the Sixth Level of the Wending Realm cultivation, Lin Bai is naturally not his match!"

"No! To be precise, if Lin Bai doesn’t want to fight desperately, he’s not his match; but if Lin Bai wants to fight to the death, that man is sure to die!"

"The cost of letting Lin Bai fight desperately is too disastrous!"

"I cannot watch Lin Bai lose his cultivation, it would disrupt my plan!"

Ye Suxin whispered.

The Snake King whispered, "Sect Leader, should I go to assist Lin Bai?"

Ye Suxin shook her head and said, "If you go, it would attract Lin Bai’s attention!"

"Forget it, you don’t need to go!"

"I’ve already thought of someone to help Lin Bai!"

Ye Suxin walked expressionlessly to the ship’s railing, looking down at the surging waters of the Manwu River, her long sleeves moving within its folds.

At this moment, from within her sleeves, a palm-sized Nine-headed Snake emerged, falling into the river.

This creature was the Primordial Colossal Nine-headed Snake.

Since Ye Suxin subdued the Nine-headed Snake, she used Secret Skills to shrink its body for easier carry.

"Go!" Ye Suxin said faintly, looking at the Nine-headed Snake in the river.

The Nine-headed Snake hissed at Ye Suxin and flipped into the water, speeding away.

Ten thousand meters away, on the originally calm surface of the Manwu River, there came a thunderous boom, with massive waves crashing up, a towering colossal creature appeared on the water.

The Nine-headed Snake broke through the water, nine heads howling at the sky, all Demon Beasts within the nearby forest and the Manwu River, frightened out of their wits by the Nine-headed Snake’s roar, rapidly fled the area of the Nine-headed Snake’s presence!

Immediately, the huge body of the Nine-headed Snake flew forward, crushing everything in its path, unstoppable like a descending Demon God!
