Lin Bai followed the river downstream for a long time, finally arriving at a swamp.

Raising his head, he saw a black-iron rhinoceros drinking water in the swamp.
"Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros!" Lin Bai grinned.
This rhinoceros was Lin Bai's target this time, a peak ninth-level martial beast.
In recent times, since joining the Demon Slayer Alliance and obtaining the coordinates on the map, Lin Bai had hunted over a dozen beasts, refining their blood into essence, which raised his martial cultivation to the eighth level.
"I wonder if this rhinoceros can help me break through the ninth level of martial cultivation!"
"With the power of the ninth level, I will have more capital to challenge Lin Zier when I return to Lingxi City!"
Lin Bai watched the Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros drinking water. Suddenly, his usually calm expression turned fierce.
Clang!
The Spirit-Cutting Sword emerged, revealing his killing intent!
The Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros, focused on drinking, sensed the killing intent and raised its head, seeing Lin Bai standing on the shore, staring at it intently.
From this human, the Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros felt a strong killing intent!
Moo!
The Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros roared angrily, stomping the ground with its iron hooves and charging at Lin Bai. Each time it stomped, the swamp trembled.
This Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros probably weighed no less than three tons.
Especially its single horn, which glinted with a chilling light, as if it could pierce the heavens!
With a loud thud, the Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros charged, but Lin Bai skillfully dodged, leaping into the sky. The Spirit-Cutting Sword slashed fiercely, striking the rhinoceros's back with several sword beams.
However, the Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros, besides its formidable horn, had a black armor that was equally terrifying.
Even with Lin Bai's eighth-level martial cultivation, his sword beams could not harm its hide!
"Such formidable defense, alright, let's see a Blood-Spewing Sword!"
Lin Bai activated his martial technique, and the sword momentum became fierce.
The blood-colored sword beam struck, causing the Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros to let out a mournful cry. It stomped the ground with its hooves, sending a wave of blood from the swamp to trap Lin Bai.
"Water control?"
Lin Bai was startled.
Encased in a large water sphere, the Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros charged over.
If Lin Bai stayed inside the water sphere, he would surely be torn apart by the rhinoceros!
"Thunder God Sword!"
A crack of thunder split the air, and a bolt of lightning shattered the water sphere, allowing Lin Bai to see the charging Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros.
"Cold Blood Sword!"
The blood-colored sword beam flashed across the rhinoceros's horn.
Snap!
The Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros's horn was severed by Lin Bai's sword, and the sword beam pierced through its skull.
The massive Black-Armored Divine-Horned Rhinoceros fell to the ground, creating a large, deep pit.
"Whether I can break through the ninth level of martial cultivation depends on this!"
Lin Bai walked over with focused eyes, sat beside the rhinoceros, and used the Divine Demon Hell Suppressing Technique to refine its blood into essence. The pure blood energy poured into Lin Bai's body, advancing his cultivation by a significant step.
However, he still did not break through the ninth level of martial cultivation.
"Just a little more? But I don't have time anymore." Lin Bai shook his head.
"Fine, eighth level it is."
"It's time to return to Lingxi City."
Lin Bai stood up and looked in the direction of Lingxi City, saying, "Lin Zier, I said I would return and turn this world upside down!"
"I won't return to the Demon Slayer Alliance; otherwise, seeing Tie Haitang would just complicate things."
Lin Bai shook his head and headed straight for Lingxi City.
Although Lin Bai was only sixteen, he already understood the complexities of romantic relationships.
Tie Haitang's kindness to him was not lost on Lin Bai.
However, he had no time for such matters now. His heart was set on advancing to a higher level of martial cultivation, defeating those who had humiliated him, finding his parents, and uncovering the conflict they had spoken of.
After walking for an hour, Lin Bai suddenly saw a wounded martial artist lying on the ground in the forest.
The attire he wore was identical to that of the Demon Slayer Alliance.
"This is a martial artist from the Demon Slayer Alliance." Lin Bai quickly stepped out from the shadows. Since it was a fellow from the Demon Slayer Alliance, Lin Bai naturally had to help.
"Ha ha ha, a dog of the Demon Slayer Alliance, where do you think you can run now!"
Just as Lin Bai was about to step out, a group of five people, each wielding a blood-stained broadsword, rushed out of the forest, as if they had just finished a fierce battle.
"Brother, are you alright?" Lin Bai asked, helping the injured martial artist up.
"I can't... I can't... You... You are...?" the injured martial artist gasped.
"I am Lin Bai. What happened? Why are you so badly injured?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
Hearing it was Lin Bai, the injured martial artist's dim eyes suddenly lit up. He grabbed Lin Bai's collar and roared, "You are Lin Bai, it's your fault, you've ruined us, you've ruined the leader, and the young lady!!"
"How did I ruin Tie Feng and Tie Haitang? What's going on?" Lin Bai asked urgently.
"If you hadn't killed Qin Xiangtian's son, he wouldn't have declared a life-or-death battle with the Demon Slayer Alliance!" the injured martial artist said angrily.
"The Sky-Supporting Alliance and the Demon Slayer Alliance are at war again? What about Tie Haitang and Tie Feng?" Lin Bai asked.
"I don't know. I barely escaped, but all the martial artists of the Demon Slayer Alliance were poisoned with the Free-and-Easy Powder. Their true qi was disrupted, and they saw illusions, making them no match for the Sky-Supporting Alliance."
"By now, the Sky-Supporting Alliance probably controls the Demon Slayer Alliance. The leader and the young lady are probably..." The injured martial artist could not continue.
At that moment, the Sky-Supporting Alliance martial artists who had been chasing him arrived.
"Ha, I wondered why you were running this way. You have a helper, but what good is that? We are five, and we will kill you together!" one of the Sky-Supporting Alliance martial artists sneered.
"Kill together? Come on!"
Lin Bai's eyes blazed with anger as he glared at the man.
"Spit, what are you pretending? If we say we will kill you, we will kill you. Brothers, attack!" the martial artist spat and sneered.
"Hmph, in front of the Sky-Supporting Alliance, you still dare to be arrogant. You're asking for death!"
"Stop talking. After we tear him apart, we can still go back to the Demon Slayer Alliance and share the spoils!"
"Kill!"
The five Sky-Supporting Alliance martial artists charged at Lin Bai together.
Swords and blades flashed.
"Seeking death!"
The Spirit-Cutting Sword swung, the sword beam shattered their weapons, and then fiercely severed their heads!
"Rest well. I will avenge the Demon Slayer Alliance for you!"
After killing the five, Lin Bai turned and headed in the direction of the Demon Slayer Alliance.
