Roar——

The deafening roars of the Earth Snakes echoed continuously in everyone’s ears.

Ban Ye said to Lin Bai again, "Little brother, I’m sorry, this time we’ve dragged you into this too. If there’s a chance later, you should escape together!"

"I’ll hold off these Earth Snakes!"

A look of unprecedented solemnity appeared on Ban Ye’s face; clearly, facing these hundreds of terrifying Earth Snakes alone, he also felt somewhat powerless.

Lin Bai smiled faintly, not taking it to heart.

Rumble——

Suddenly, a blood-red-eyed Earth Snake charged swiftly towards Ban Ye.

Uncle Ban Ye roared angrily, his five fingers clenched into a fist, and powerful strength instantly shook the world. With a punch, he struck the head of the Earth Snake, and with a loud bang, the Earth Snake was blasted to pieces.

"Now’s the time, run quickly!"

Simultaneously, Ban Ye roared at several young men and women.

The expression of these young men and women was somewhat stunned upon hearing this.

"Should we go?"

"No, we can’t leave Uncle Ban Ye here!"

"We are already warriors; it’s time to face the attack of these demon beasts!"

"Brothers, we can’t run anymore; let’s draw our swords and fight!"

These young men and women seemed to have their own thoughts; now they didn’t want to escape but wanted to fight alongside Uncle Ban Ye.

Upon hearing the words of these young men and women, Lin Bai’s eyes froze in shock, staring blankly at them. Their cultivation was merely at the Perfect Yin Saint Realm, while these Earth Snakes were almost all demon beasts above the Fifth Layer of the Death Reversal Realm.

If they fight, isn’t it courting death?

"What are you still standing around for? If you don’t go now, it’ll be too late!" Uncle Ban Ye roared at the young men and women from behind while fighting the Earth Snakes.

"Uncle Ban Ye, we’ll stay and help you!"

"Yes, we’ll fight together!"

"Kill!"

These young men and women immediately drew their sharp swords and charged at an Earth Snake.

Seeing this scene, Ban Ye turned pale with fright, his face full of anger.

Lin Bai shook his head slightly, thinking to himself, "Isn’t the Tang family a prominent family in Black Water City? How come their disciples are all a bunch of useless people? Do they have any brains?"

"How much cultivation do you have?"

"Not even enough to be food for these Earth Snakes!"

Lin Bai said speechlessly.

Ban Ye, upon seeing this scene, was also filled with fury.

But at this moment, the Earth Snakes had already surrounded everyone.

"Damn it!" Ban Ye roared repeatedly.

As those young men and women charged forward, an Earth Snake swung its tail and struck them, severely injuring them on the spot. They fell to the ground, wailing in pain.

"Ah ah ah!"

"I’m going to die. I’m going to die."

"Save me, save me, Uncle Ban Ye, save me."

These young men and women screamed frantically.

With a solemn expression, Ban Ye’s eyes turned cold when he saw this scene.

Suddenly, more than a dozen Earth Snakes rushed forward, opening their bloody mouths to devour the young men and women whole.

"No!"

However, at this moment, Uncle Ban Ye exclaimed. He clenched his teeth, his expression resolute, as black thunderbolt power emanated from his body, coursing around him.

A violent, imposing power spread from Ban Ye’s body.

Lin Bai raised his eyes, watching Ban Ye in surprise and exclaimed, "This is..."

The black Divine Thunder emerging from Ban Ye’s body was fierce and violent.

Suddenly, this thunderbolt power spread out.

"Thunder Shock!"

Rumble——

A deafening sound of a giant explosion could be heard.

The thunderbolt power within Ban Ye exploded forth, sweeping across a hundred meters, striking the Earth Snakes attacking the young men and women. In an instant, the bodies of those Earth Snakes exploded into pieces.

The Earth Snake corpses fell to the ground, charred by the thunderbolt power, both inside and out!

"Five Elements Divine Thunder Art!"

Lin Bai looked at Ban Ye in astonishment.

When the black thunderbolt emanated from Ban Ye’s body, Lin Bai immediately sensed this was the power of the second volume of the "Scripture of Five Elements," the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Art"!

And Lin Bai had also cultivated the Five-element Divine Thunder Skill!

Lin Bai had cultivated the "Qingmu Divine Thunder Secret Skill," and the color of the thunderbolt was teal.

But now, the thunderbolt power Ban Ye displayed was primarily black.

However, Lin Bai could clearly feel that the Divine Thunder Art Ban Ye was currently exhibiting was precisely the "Five Elements Divine Thunder Scripture."

"Uncle Ban Ye actually knows the Five-element Divine Thunder Skill!" Lin Bai was somewhat shocked.

The black thunderbolt exploded, instantly destroying more than a dozen Earth Snakes and saving those young men and women.

But alas, as Ban Ye went to rescue those young men and women, other Earth Snakes found an opening and, after a series of fierce attacks, Uncle Ban Ye was gravely injured, vomiting blood pathetically as he flew backward.

"Cough, cough!" Uncle Ban Ye landed on the ground, coughing violently, and eventually spitting out fresh blood!

Pale-faced and dispirited, he looked as if he could leave this world at any moment!

"Uncle Ban Ye!"

"Uncle Ban Ye!"

These dozen or so young men and women exclaimed.

"Uncle Ban Ye lost!"

"What should we do? Are we destined to die?"

These young men and women cried desperately.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The Earth Snakes swung their gigantic bodies, charging at Uncle Ban Ye and those young men and women.

They opened their bloody mouths, ready to bite Uncle Ban Ye.

If this bite landed, it would certainly swallow Uncle Ban Ye whole.

Ban Ye helplessly closed his eyes; now he was out of options and couldn’t resist these Earth Snakes anymore. He could only close his eyes and await death.

But at this moment, a bright sword light cut across the sky.

The sword light was sharp and remarkable, cutting off the head of the Earth Snake with one stroke.

With a thud, as the Earth Snake’s head hit the ground, Uncle Ban Ye opened his eyes in surprise and looked up. In front of him, a white-robed man stood with a sharp sword, looking at the approaching Earth Snakes!

This person turns out to be Lin Bai!

"Brother..." Ban Ye looked at Lin Bai in surprise. He never expected Lin Bai to have such strength, to be able to slay a Seventh Layer Death Reversal Realm Earth Snake with one sword!

Ban Ye was stunned!

Roar——

The Earth Snakes saw Lin Bai slay their companion with a single sword, and their blood-red eyes brimmed with killing intent, roaring at Lin Bai.

"Get lost!" Lin Bai raised his sword and said coldly. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The Earth Snakes seemed to understand Lin Bai’s words but, instead of retreating, they were provoked further, roaring furiously and charging at Lin Bai.

Hundreds of Earth Snakes rushed at Lin Bai; his face remained cold and indifferent.

"Courting death!"

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed, and a brilliant, dazzling sword aura spread out.

With one furious slash, the powerful sword light tore through the sky, slashing forward.

As the sword landed, those Death Reversal Realm Earth Snakes were like vegetables being chopped under Lin Bai’s sword aura, blasted into pieces with no resistance whatsoever!
