Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The next day, the three of them set off and arrived at the area where the Jade Scaled Red Armored Lion was located.

At the same time, the City Lord of Wandering Cloud City was waiting with his people in a distant location. The City Lord had brought along many soldiers and was worried that Lin Bai and his companions might not be able to defeat the demonic beast. He was there to assist with evacuation if necessary.

The City Lord of Wandering Cloud City had a worried expression on his face. He knew that the demonic beast was very powerful and extremely cruel.

He had heard about Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue’s initial inquiry into the demonic beast and knew that the two of them had not engaged in battle with the demonic beast and had retreated immediately.

Lin Bai was aware of the demonic beast’s strength and had armed himself with all his equipment, including the Spirit Fire Sword on his back, and wearing the Immortal Feather Internal Style and Immortal Feather Boots given to him by Zhao Fei’er.

Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue were also equipped and armed. Zhao Fei’er even brought quite several talismans.

Lin Bai’s parents had heard about Lin Bai and the other two were going to fight a particularly powerful demonic beast. At this moment, the old couple was also anxiously wandering around the entrance of the Lin Manor.

“Any news?” Father Lin asked a servant.

“Not yet, Master.”

“Go ask again!”

“Yes, Master!”

The demonic beast had a significant impact on Wandering Cloud City. Although it was quite far away from the city, many people who passed through the area were attacked and killed by the beast.

Many people in the city knew about Lin Bai and his companion’s mission to attack the demonic beast, and they were nervous about the outcome.

Even the city gate was only partially open, as people were worried about potential changes and possible attacks from demonic beasts. Today, the number of soldiers guarding the gate had increased significantly.

On this day, even the school had closed, resulting in fewer pedestrians on the streets than usual.

One should know that even the cultivator who had been tyrannical in the city did not dare to attack this demonic beast.

“Strange, where did the demonic beast go?” After wandering around for a while, the three of them saw no sign of it.

Just as they were about to return home, Lin Bai suddenly sensed something. His heightened perception alerted him that something was staring at him from a distance.

The degree to which his body was perceived by his surroundings was particularly powerful, and he immediately sensed that the demonic beast was approaching.

Lin Bai signaled to Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue, and they immediately began preparing for battle.

Right at that moment, a huge black shadow dashed out from afar. The cold claws of the demonic beast struck the ground, causing the earth to crack open.

Lin Bai’s heart trembled as the hot blood in his body boiled with excitement. This demonic beast was even more powerful than the one they had previously defeated as a team.

The Spirit Fire Sword was infused with spiritual energy, causing the entire sword to turn fiery red. Stronger flames than before were emitted from the tip of the sword. Lin Bai’s aura rose steadily, and his aura of the eighth level of the Qi Refinement stage spread out.

Then, Lin Bai noticed that the demonic beast opposite him seemed off. As he filled with battle intent, the demonic beast took a step back.

Lin Bai was stunned. What situation?

Lin Bai didn’t think too much and rushed forward.

The Jade Scaled Red Armored Lion turned and ran!

Lin Bai was speechless, wondering if the Jade Scaled Red Armored Lion was truly afraid. However, he soon realized that the demonic beast’s speed wasn’t as fast as he had anticipated.

He injected his spiritual energy into the Immortal Feather Boots and immediately felt his entire body lighten. Then, he injected his spiritual energy into a few acupuncture points on his feet and legs.

His body left afterimages as he moved through the air.

Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue both looked at Lin Bai in astonishment.

“That’s incredible speed! Even faster than before!” Ouyang Ruoxue exclaimed.

Lin Bai caught up to the demonic beast. The demonic beast let out a terrified roar, causing it to knock down several giant trees in its panic.

Far away, the City Lord and his elite soldiers noticed the commotion. These elite soldiers nervously held their weapons, and their faces were pale with tension.

The City Lord also had a solemn expression.

No matter how the Jade Scaled Red Armored Lion tried to evade, Lin Bai was always behind it. Just as the demonic beast’s body swayed, appearing to have lost some strength, Lin Bai roared angrily and swung the Spirit Fire Sword downwards.

A massive blaze streaked across the sky, and a flame over ten meters long slashed toward the demonic beast.

The Jade Scaled Red Armored Lion tried its best to dodge but found that it was unable to evade. The entire demonic beast’s head was directly severed.

Its body continued to run for a few steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Lin Bai held his Spirit Fire Sword, feeling speechless. This was the powerful demonic beast he had been chasing after?

After relentlessly pursuing it, he had become impatient and slashed out with his sword. To his surprise, the demonic beast couldn’t withstand a single strike and was immediately killed.

Ouyang Ruoxue and Zhao Fei’er hurried over, following behind. Unfortunately, Lin Bai’s speed was too fast, and they were always far behind.

When they saw the demonic beast lying on the ground, both women were stunned. The demonic beast died just like that?

Even its head had been severed, and it couldn’t have been more dead!

The two women looked at Lin Bai. At this moment, he was putting his Spirit Fire Sword back into his sheath. They felt that his strength was dazzling.

Ouyang Ruoxue cast a talisman into the air that emitted a bright light. The talisman didn’t have much power, but it was used to signal for help.

In the distance, the City Lord saw this ray of light.

“Let’s go, hurry over there! The demonic beast is dead!” The City Lord’s voice was excited.

Just moments ago, he had witnessed the earth-shattering battle from afar and didn’t expect it to end so quickly. He was overjoyed that the demonic beast had finally been defeated.

Leading his elite soldiers, he quickly arrived at Lin Bai’s location. When he saw the massive demonic beast’s corpse, his heart couldn’t help but shudder.

The beast’s gruesome head was more than ten meters away from its body, and apart from a wound on its neck, the rest of its body was unscathed.

The City Lord gasped in shock and had a suspicion in his heart. He thought that the demonic beast must have been killed with a single strike of a sword!

Those two female cultivators couldn’t have killed the demonic beast with just one slash, so it must have been Lin Bai who did it.

The City Lord was commanding his soldiers to handle the demonic beast’s body and collect materials while also considering how to treat Lin Bai’s parents in the future. He had dealt with some cultivators before, but encountering someone as powerful as Lin Bai was a first for him. He realized that Lin Bai could become a famous and powerful cultivator in the future.

If he took good care of Lin Bai’s parents, it could help secure his future as well.

In a large area, the influence of the Human Immortal Sect was sometimes even stronger than the imperial power.

Lin Bai, accompanied by Zhao Fei’er and Ouyang Ruoxue, made their way toward Wandering Cloud City. The materials from the demonic beasts would be delivered to them after being prepared.

Before they entered the city, they saw a large crowd of people gathered at the city gate. When they saw Lin Bai and the others, they all cheered.

It turned out that the City Lord had already informed the city of Lin Bai’s feat of killing the Jade Scaled Red Armored Lion.

The three of them were escorted into the city amidst the cheering crowd and were eventually led back to the Lin Manor with a festive procession.

Upon hearing the commotion, Father Lin and Mother Lin rushed out to greet them. They too had already received the news of Lin Bai’s achievement.
