“Xiao Bai’s aura?”
Lin Yun looked at Xiao Bai in astonishment.
He noticed that Xiao Bai’s aura seemed vastly different from before.
“Master, with the Ksitigarbha Bodhi Fruit, I’ve successfully awakened the hidden bloodline within me,” Xiao Bai transmitted to Lin Yun.
“Oh? Awakened your bloodline?” Lin Yun was surprised.
Lin Yun knew that the cultivation of demon beasts differed greatly from humans.
While humans were influenced by bloodlines, their progress relied heavily on acquired cultivation. For demon beasts, however, bloodlines were the primary factor.
A demon beast with an ordinary bloodline, no matter how much it cultivated, had limited potential and a low ceiling.
But for those with powerful bloodlines, their starting point was high, and their growth was rapid.
Take Little Green Dragon, for example. With its dragon clan bloodline, and an exceptionally pure one within the dragon race, it was chosen as the dragon prince shortly after birth. From the moment it was born, its strength was formidable.
Compare that to some pythons, which needed thousands of years of cultivation and a successful tribulation to transform into dragons—and even then, they were low-tier dragons.
Little Green Dragon surpassed them from the start. That was the gap in bloodlines!
Xiao Bai, as a White Ze Beast, was already an impressive species.
Lin Yun wondered what level Xiao Bai’s awakened bloodline had reached.
“Master, leave Elder Mu to you. I’ll handle the others,” Xiao Bai transmitted.
With that, Xiao Bai’s four hooves ignited with cyan flames. It leapt into the air, stepping through the void, charging fiercely at the dozens of Baili Clan members forming the array.
Where Xiao Bai’s hooves tread, space trembled!
“Elder Zhen, that beast is coming for us!” the Baili Clan members exclaimed.
“Quick, join forces and kill it!” the white-haired elder said, standing and drawing his weapon.
The others stopped forming the array, rising to meet the attack.
In an instant, Xiao Bai clashed with the group, powerful fluctuations rippling out.
“Hm? Xiao Bai’s gotten this strong?” Lin Yun was shocked.
When Xiao Bai charged, Lin Yun had been a bit worried, especially since the white-haired elder was Nine-Turn Tribulation Realm.
But now, seeing the battle, Xiao Bai was holding its own.
While it couldn’t dominate, it fought without falling behind.
With Xiao Bai keeping them occupied, they couldn’t form the array to empower Elder Mu—a perfect chance for Lin Yun to counterattack.
“Elder Mu, now it’s my turn to strike back!”
Shadow Sword Art, Sixth Form!
Heaven-Shaking Hand!
With a shout, Lin Yun shot forward like lightning, charging at Elder Mu, his body radiating light, his sword surging with power, all techniques unleashed.
“Damn it!”
Elder Mu’s face changed. He swung his warblade, channeling all his strength to meet the attack.
Clang!
A terrifying collision erupted, and this time, Elder Mu was forced back.
Even with his forbidden technique, losing the Baili Clan’s array empowerment significantly weakened him.
“Keep going!”
Lin Yun didn’t pause, his terrifying attacks flowing like water, relentlessly enveloping Elder Mu.
The fierce battle erupted in midair.
Though Lin Yun held the advantage, Elder Mu, empowered by his forbidden technique, wasn’t easily defeated. The battle became a stalemate, both sides fighting fiercely.
“Haha, exhilarating!”
Lin Yun attacked wildly, feeling utterly satisfied and thrilled!
by the battle!
This kind of fight was what made it exciting.
Their battle had even drawn some teams to watch from a distance.
“I’m here!”
A booming voice suddenly echoed through the sky.
The next moment, Old Man Yan’s figure shot forward like a rainbow.
Clearly, Yan had been drawn by the commotion.
After observing from a distance and seeing Lin Yun fighting the Baili Clan, and noticing his massive strength boost, he rushed over.
“Senior Yan!” Lin Yun was both surprised and delighted to see him.
Lin Yun had been unsure of Yan’s safety since Yan had stayed behind to cover his escape last time, and he hadn’t known what happened after he fled.
Seeing Yan safe and sound, Lin Yun was completely relieved.
“I told you, escaping is my specialty,” Yan said with a smile.
Then, Yan drew his weapon, “Let this old man join you to take him down!”
With that, Yan charged into the battlefield, his weapon carrying immense power, striking at Elder Mu.
As a Tribulation Realm cultivator, Yan’s arrival instantly shifted the tide, turning it into Lin Yun and Yan against Elder Mu alone.
Clang, clang, clang!
In the terrifying battle, the situation completely changed.
Pfft!
Shortly after Yan joined, Elder Mu, unable to defend properly, was slashed by Lin Yun’s sword.
“Bastards! Bastards!” Elder Mu roared in fury.
“Elder Mu, you’re done for!” Lin Yun laughed.
If Elder Mu could still resist before, now he had no chance to even hold on.
As Lin Yun spoke, his attacks didn’t slow, and Yan relentlessly assaulted from the other side.
Boom!
When Elder Mu failed to defend again, Lin Yun sent him flying, crashing into a broken stone mountain, shattering it.
Escape!
Knowing he had no chance, Elder Mu burst into full speed, fleeing frantically into the distance.
“Senior Yan, don’t chase,” Lin Yun transmitted to Yan.
Lin Yun knew that cornering Elder Mu could push him to self-destruct, trying to take Lin Yun with him.
Tribulation Realm cultivators, with no future and limited lifespan, might do anything when desperate. That’s what made them so dangerous.
A Tribulation Realm self-detonation was something Lin Yun likely couldn’t withstand!
Plus, Elder Mu’s full-speed escape was fast, making pursuit troublesome.
“Elder Mu fled!”
Seeing Elder Mu escape, the Baili Clan members fighting Xiao Bai fell into panic.
“Run, run, run!”
Losing their will to fight, they burst into speed to flee.
“Kill!”
Lin Yun shot forward, chasing them, with Yan close behind.
Xiao Bai, already in the fray, pounced on the fleeing Baili Clan members, swiftly killing several.
Lin Yun caught up to the Nine-Turn Tribulation Realm white-haired elder, striking from behind with his sword.
“Pfft!”
The sword, carrying immense power, pierced through the white-haired elder’s back.
He turned to Lin Yun, his eyes wide.
Lin Yun looked at him, “The first time by the silver lake, you escaped. This time, you don’t. Crossing me was your biggest mistake.”
With that, Lin Yun pulled out his sword.
Boom.
The white-haired elder’s body plummeted, crashing into the valley below, dead.
