Chapter 13

As Lin Bai entered the One-Inch Mountain, he became alert. 520 Official Website

The terrain of One-Inch Mountain was cold and damp, with all the trees dead and moss growing on the rocks. Crows perched on the treetops, their calls annoyingly persistent.

This place clearly wasn’t a good one.

After taking a few steps inside, a slight tremor suddenly came from the ground. Lin Bai looked up in surprise to see a large rock on the mountaintop being pushed down, hurtling straight toward him.

Behind the rock, a monstrous snake about a hundred meters long with three heads descended fiercely from the mountaintop, aiming directly at him!

Clang!

Lin Bai immediately drew his Spirit-Cutting Sword and slashed at the rolling rock, splitting it in two.

Sss—

The moment the rock split, Lin Bai saw the three-headed snake behind it, all three heads opening their mouths to tear at him.

“Wretched beast, I was looking for you, and you come out to die on your own!” Lin Bai sneered, nimbly dodging the three-headed snake’s attack and retreating ten meters to create distance, readjusting his offensive stance.

This three-headed snake had long been entrenched in One-Inch Mountain. Any martial artists who came here, unaware of the danger, were all devoured alive by the three-headed snake.

Relying on its Eighth Rank Martial Dao, the three-headed snake had never encountered a match.

One-Inch Mountain was too barren, with no rare medicinal herbs or minerals except for this powerful snake. Most martial artists were unwilling to come here and provoke the snake.

But Lin Bai was different. The Eighth Rank Martial Dao cultivation of the three-headed snake was a great temptation to him.

The higher the rank of a beast, the more abundant its vital energy, which was very beneficial for the Divine Punishment Technique!

The three-headed snake let out a roar, its left head spewing a mouthful of flames directly at Lin Bai.

While its right head spewed a mouthful of ice.

“Damn! It can spew fire!”

Lin Bai quickly dodged, and the three-headed snake, relying on its ability to spew fire and ice, relentlessly chased Lin Bai around One-Inch Mountain.

“Indeed troublesome!”

Lin Bai cursed, leaping onto a rock.

The three-headed snake opened its mouth and spewed a mouthful of flames at Lin Bai. Lin Bai’s eyes hardened: “Just dodging isn’t a solution!”

“Fine, let’s go all out!”

“Blood-Spewing Sword!”

With one sword strike, the flames were shattered, and the sword light swiftly struck the three-headed snake’s neck.

The three-headed snake let out a piercing cry.

“Beast, die!”

Lin Bai struck successfully and quickly rushed forward, aiming to kill the three-headed snake before it could use its flames and ice again.

But just as Lin Bai approached the three-headed snake, the middle head opened its mouth in anger, shooting out a corrosive beam that hit the ground, instantly corroding a deep pit.

“Luckily I dodged quickly, or I would have been instantly corroded.” Lin Bai looked at the large pit on the ground with lingering fear.

Roar—, Roar—, Roar—

The three heads of the three-headed snake roared in unison.

“It seems we have to go all out!”

“Thunder God Sword!”

Crack, crack, crack—

Suddenly, a divine thunder from the heavens struck Lin Bai’s sword, and purple lightning immediately enveloped the blade.

“Slash!”

Lin Bai rushed forward, breaking through the flames spewed by the three-headed snake. With one sword strike, he severed one of the snake’s heads.

The pain from losing a head made the three-headed snake’s cries even more pitiful.

“Die!”

After severing one head, Lin Bai turned and used the “Cold-Blooded Sword” technique, sending a sword light that pierced through the middle and left heads of the snake.

A large blood hole was left on the heads.

The three-headed snake fell to the ground, no longer moving.

Killing the three-headed snake, Lin Bai was overjoyed: “I wonder if this snake can help me break through to Seventh Rank Martial Dao.”

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Bai used his Blood Refinement technique to refine the demon blood from the three-headed snake into blood essence, which he absorbed, converting it into spiritual energy.

“It’s loosening, but it’s not enough…”

Lin Bai felt his realm loosening, but he hadn’t yet broken through to Seventh Rank Martial Dao.

“I’ll go find the next beast!”

Lin Bai carried the corpse of the three-headed snake back to the Beast-Slaying Alliance.

Returning to the Beast-Slaying Alliance.

When Lin Bai returned carrying the massive three-headed snake, it immediately drew the attention of the entire Beast-Slaying Alliance.

“That’s… the three-headed snake from One-Inch Mountain!”

“My goodness, that snake is an Eighth Rank demon beast. How could he possibly kill it?”

“Wow, so impressive. I hope I can one day kill an Eighth Rank demon beast on my own.”

Martial artists all admired strength.

And Lin Bai, who had killed an Eighth Rank demon beast at Sixth Rank Martial Dao, quickly gained the recognition of the martial artists.

Qi Sheng stood coldly to the side, sneering: “Hmph, what’s so great about it! It’s just an Eighth Rank demon beast. I can kill it too!”

Lin Bai carried the demon beast to the Contribution Hall of the Beast-Slaying Alliance, exchanged it for contributions, and then headed to the Life and Death Cave.

Iron Hibiscus had been very troubled these past few days, with no heart for cultivation.

Because in her heart, besides cultivation, there was a man she thought about day and night.

As soon as she heard that Lin Bai had returned, she rushed out of her cave and headed straight for the Life and Death Cave.

What a coincidence, Iron Hibiscus arrived just as Lin Bai was coming out of the Life and Death Cave.

“Lin Bai, you’re back. How did things go at One-Inch Mountain?” Iron Hibiscus asked with a smile.

“Smoothly. I’ve already killed the three-headed snake and am now preparing to hunt the next demon beast.” Lin Bai smiled.

“Are you going out again so soon? Don’t you want to rest?” Iron Hibiscus said with some concern.

“Ha ha, I want to rest, but I’m already behind. If I rest again, I might really fall behind.” Lin Bai said, then quickly walked out of the Beast-Slaying Alliance.

“Lin Bai, Lin Bai, Lin Bai,” Iron Hibiscus called out loudly, watching Lin Bai’s resolute back as he walked away without looking back.

Iron Hibiscus could only return alone, feeling dejected.

After the two left, Iron Peak emerged from the shadows, shaking his head: “Sigh, it seems Hibiscus will be disappointed. Lin Bai is not interested in women. The path he is on is the path of a strong man.”

“This Green Spirit Mountain Range will not be his final destination.”

Iron Peak had already seen that Lin Bai was just a passerby in the Green Spirit Mountain Range and would not stay.

Five days later!

Lin Bai returned to the Beast-Slaying Alliance carrying a lion with fur like flames.

“Lin Bai, can I go with you?” Iron Hibiscus asked hopefully.

“No, Hibiscus. This time I’m going to kill a Ninth Rank demon beast. I don’t have the confidence myself, so you shouldn’t come. It’s too dangerous.” Lin Bai smiled and walked out of the Beast-Slaying Alliance.

“Oh.” Iron Hibiscus responded dejectedly.

Four days later!

Lin Bai returned to the Beast-Slaying Alliance carrying a Ninth Rank demon beast, causing another stir.

“Lin Bai, let me go with you this time. I’ve become very strong. Even a Ninth Rank demon beast, I can fight!” Iron Hibiscus, dressed in a set of exquisite leather armor and holding a long spear, stood in front of Lin Bai, full of determination.
