Just as Yuan Shan was desperately fighting with Lin Bai, other martial artists from the Qingtian Sect rushed to this treasure mountain.
"Another treasure mountain has appeared!"
"Quick, is that Senior Brother Yuan Shan?"
A group of Qingtian Sect martial artists arrived at the base of the treasure mountain and exclaimed in surprise.
"Is it Junior Brother He Qun?" Yuan Shan turned his head and said coldly.
He Qun, the ninth of the top ten outer disciples of the Qingtian Sect, was at the first level of the Xuanwu realm. However, as one of the top ten outer disciples, he had many tricks up his sleeve and was not weak.
"Indeed, it's me, Junior Brother!" He Qun said.
Yuan Shan was overjoyed: "Junior Brother, quickly go up the treasure mountain and snatch the spirit herbs. I will hold this person back."
Yuan Shan was tightly entangled by Lin Bai and had no time to spare. He could only watch helplessly as the spirit herbs and grasses on the treasure mountain were picked one by one by Qi Shaolong and Tiedan and stored in their storage bags, his heart burning with anger.
Yuan Shan was puzzled. How could this True Wu realm ninth-level martial artist be more difficult to deal with than a Xuanwu realm third-level martial artist? They had fought for over a thousand rounds, yet there was still no clear winner.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother."
He Qun was overjoyed and immediately led the Qingtian Sect martial artists to charge up the treasure mountain.
"This treasure mountain belongs to the Qingtian Sect! Get out of here!"
He Qun roared as he charged up the treasure mountain.
Qi Shaolong and Tiedan were startled, their faces dark.
They had only dug half of the treasure mountain, and the other half was still untouched. They certainly wouldn't hand over the treasure they had obtained.
"Keep digging! Leave them to me!"
Lin Bai noticed He Qun's movements and shouted to Qi Shaolong and Tiedan.
"Hehehe, leave them to you? You can't even protect yourself, do you know that?"
Yuan Shan flashed in front of Lin Bai.
"Do you really think I can't kill you?"
Seeing Yuan Shan blocking his way, Lin Bai's face flashed with a murderous intent.
Previously, Lin Bai had only been competing with Yuan Shan and hadn't used lethal moves, just trying to hold him back to give Qi Shaolong and Tiedan time.
But now that others had arrived at the treasure mountain, Lin Bai naturally couldn't hold back anymore.
Lin Bai was determined to kill Yuan Shan, even if it meant using his trump cards.
"Want to kill me? Come and try if you have the ability!"
"Storm Sword Technique, Heavenly Wind Swallows the Sun!"
Yuan Shan slashed down with a ruthless sword, an endless storm suppressing Lin Bai as if swallowing the heavens and earth!
"Sword Intent! Sever the Starry Sky!"
Lin Bai's sword flew up, shattering Yuan Shan's sword.
He then took a quick step forward, the Qilin Step carrying him like a meteor toward Yuan Shan.
Approaching Yuan Shan, he swept his sword horizontally at Yuan Shan's throat.
"Get out of the way!"
Yuan Shan reacted quickly, and before Lin Bai's lightning-fast sword reached him, he punched with a thunderous force.
"Hahaha, with just this much ability, do you really think you can kill me?"
"It's over, this sword will definitely kill you!"
Yuan Shan gathered his true qi, and boundless violent power condensed around him. The wind in the sky then appeared.
The wind around Yuan Shan was particularly strange, all of it black.
"Storm Sword Technique, Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth!"
A black storm swept in, ravaging the heavens and earth, destroying everything in its path.
Under this sword, Lin Bai felt the fear of death!
"Dragon Force Sword Qi!"
In his dantian, a crimson sword qi stirred restlessly, rushing into Lin Bai's meridians and infusing the sword.
The Evil Wind Sword, its blade piercing the sky, angrily slashed down.
The crimson sword light soared, shattering the black storm in front of him, then pressed down on Yuan Shan's chest like a collapsing mountain.
Pfft!
Yuan Shan immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his chest making a "crack" sound.
The force of this sword shattered Yuan Shan's chest.
Yuan Shan fell to the ground, looking at Lin Bai in disbelief: "What kind of sword technique is this!"
"Dragon River Sword Technique!"
Lin Bai said coldly.
"Dragon... River..."
Yuan Shan lay on the ground, his breath gone.
Lin Bai's Dragon Force Sword Qi had already shattered Yuan Shan's chest and all his internal organs.
After killing Yuan Shan, Lin Bai turned around and saw He Qun charging toward Qi Shaolong.
"Damn, didn't you hear me? This treasure mountain belongs to the Qingtian Sect!"
He Qun attacked Qi Shaolong.
Qi Shaolong's face changed drastically. He Qun was one of the top ten outer disciples of the Qingtian Sect, and his strength was even greater than Qi Shaolong's.
"Do you think this treasure mountain is yours?"
At this moment, a cold voice came from behind He Qun.
He Qun turned around and saw a man at the foot of the mountain, his figure blurring as he appeared in front of him in an instant.
"You, you actually killed Senior Brother Yuan Shan!"
Seeing Yuan Shan dead at Lin Bai's sword, He Qun was terrified, his face pale.
"That's right, I killed him. Now it's your turn to join him!"
Lin Bai charged forward, his sword piercing into He Qun's body, the sword qi tearing his flesh to shreds.
"Keep digging, faster, I'll go and kill the other Qingtian Sect martial artists."
After killing He Qun, Lin Bai turned and charged at the other Qingtian Sect martial artists.
Compared to He Qun and Yuan Shan, these Qingtian Sect martial artists were much weaker, all at the ninth level of the Martial Dao realm. Lin Bai killed them one by one with a single sword strike, clearing them out in a breath.
With these obstacles cleared, Lin Bai turned to help Qi Shaolong and Tiedan gather the spirit herbs.
Half an hour later.
The three quickly left the treasure mountain.
After they left, the once colorful treasure mountain was left barren.
In the forest, the three rapidly fled.
Qi Shaolong said excitedly: "Lin Bai, we've gained a lot this time. There are nine treasure mountains in the Origin Land, and we've already obtained two. Although we used some spirit herbs for cultivation, the spirit herbs in our storage bags are still terrifying, enough to make one's scalp tingle!"
"We've become rich overnight."
Qi Shaolong said excitedly.
"Big Brother Lin Bai, my storage bag is almost full."
Tiedan also said excitedly.
Hearing Qi Shaolong and Tiedan, Lin Bai's eyes also burned with excitement.
"Don't be in a hurry, we've only gotten two treasure mountains. There are nine in the Origin Land, let's try to get more."
Lin Bai said.
"Good! Damn it, let's go all out!"
Qi Shaolong said: "Lin Bai, you are the strongest among us. I found a spirit herb on the treasure mountain that looks very precious. If you take it, you should be able to break through to a higher realm."
"Only if you break through will we have the capital to compete for the other treasure mountains!"
"What kind of spirit herb?" Lin Bai asked curiously.
Qi Shaolong rummaged through his storage bag for a while and took out a flower emitting a seven-colored light.
"Ten-thousand-year spirit herb!" Lin Bai was surprised.
"That's right, a ten-thousand-year spirit herb!"
Qi Shaolong handed it to Lin Bai: "Lin Bai, if you take it, you should be able to break through to the Xuanwu realm!"
"I can! Hahaha."
Lin Bai was overjoyed and didn't refuse. After taking the ten-thousand-year spirit herb, he found a secluded place and had Qi Shaolong and Tiedan guard him.
Swallowing the ten-thousand-year spirit herb, he activated the Devouring Sword Soul, absorbing all the medicinal power.
"Xuanwu realm first level!"
"I can still break through!"
Lin Bai quickly took out other spirit herbs, and the mountain of spirit herbs in front of him was absorbed completely.
With the power of the ten-thousand-year spirit herb, Lin Bai broke through to the Xuanwu realm second level.
