Roar, roar, roar——

The Earth Snake had a massive body, about a hundred meters long, as thick as a barrel, with blood-red eyes, charging at Lin Bai menacingly.

Lin Bai, wielding the Demonic Sword, charged into the Earth Snakes.

With one sword strike piercing the sky, he slashed down explosively, killing dozens of Earth Snakes beneath his sword!

Amidst the encirclement of hundreds of Earth Snakes, Lin Bai’s tiny figure seemed invincible like a Heavenly God, slicing down Earth Snakes one by one with each sword stroke.

Not a single one was a match!

"This..." Ban Ye, witnessing this scene, was stunned, eyes wide open, trembling with fear.

Ban Ye was also a minor strong one in Black Water City, having lived for decades, but he had never seen a warrior as powerful as Lin Bai, with such formidable swordsmanship.

"So amazing!"

"These Earth Snakes don’t even have the strength to resist in his hands!"

"His sword is so powerful that as soon as it strikes the Earth Snakes, their bodies are immediately severed!"

"What a fierce Treasure Sword, it must be a King-level Spiritual Artifact!"

The dozen or so young men and women exclaimed in amazement.

Uncle Ban Ye coldly said, "That sword is not a King-level Spiritual Artifact; it’s merely an Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact. What is formidable is not his sword, but his sword skill..."

"This person... is a Tianjiao!"

Ban Ye exclaimed.

Roar, roar, roar——

Howl, howl, howl——

Among the Earth Snakes, their roars were gradually turning from angry to wailing!

They had no power to resist under Lin Bai’s sword.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bai had killed half of the hundreds of Earth Snakes!

At this moment, a dozen of the Earth Snakes at Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection came charging at Lin Bai with crimson eyes, intending to surround and slaughter him!

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

Lin Bai didn’t hold back now; with his current strength, he could slay demon beasts of Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection, but with so many attacking at once, he required some strength!

Exercising the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, a tricolor aura emanated from Lin Bai.

In this moment, Lin Bai slashed and killed an Earth Snake of Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection.

With the application of the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, Lin Bai’s cultivation reached the eighth level of the Death Reversal Realm, making it easy to handle ordinary demon beasts of Death Reversal Realm Great Perfection.

Swish——

The sword light swept through, and the Earth Snakes died under Lin Bai’s sword.

At this moment, a strange sound came from deep within the Earth Snake Forest.

After hearing this sound, the Earth Snakes attacking Lin Bai and the others rapidly retreated, abandoning their encirclement.

Lin Bai was also surprised, looking towards the depths of the Earth Snake Forest!

"Did the Earth Snakes retreat?"

"The Earth Snakes have fled!"

"We’ve survived."

The dozen or so young men and women were dumbfounded as they watched the Earth Snakes flee in disarray!

Lin Bai stood mid-air, watching the Earth Snakes retreat, but he did not pursue; instead, he looked towards the depths of the Earth Snake Forest and coolly said, "What was that sound just now?"

"Why did these Earth Snakes retreat upon hearing it?"

Lin Bai was a bit curious.

And at this moment, a hoarse voice from deep within the Earth Snake Forest said: "Sword Child, please quell your anger. We were blind and offended you, I hope you will not hold it against us!"

"Here, take this Black Gold Divine Iron as compensation!"

After the Earth Snakes retreated, a hoarse voice came from deep within the Earth Snake Forest.

Simultaneously, a force brought a thousand-pound chunk of Divine Iron in front of Lin Bai.

"This old man is in seclusion and cannot meet the Sword Child, please forgive me," said the voice after delivering the Divine Iron.

Lin Bai looked strangely at the black Divine Iron before him, his expression filled with solemnity.

"Sword Child?"

"What’s a Sword Child?"

Lin Bai felt somewhat peculiar.

But Lin Bai didn’t say much; he waved his hand and placed the black Divine Iron into his storage bag, sheathed the Demonic Sword, and prepared to leave.

"It won’t happen again!"

As Lin Bai turned, he coldly said.

"Thank you, Sword Child." That supreme existence within the Earth Snake Forest gratefully remarked.

Immediately, the Earth Snakes returned to the forest, disappearing without a trace.

And Lin Bai returned to Ban Ye and the others.

Ban Ye was dumbfounded as he looked towards the depths of the Earth Snake Forest, trembling all over as he said, "Was that voice just now... the Earth Snake King?"

Subsequently, Ban Ye also looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai gently said, "Let’s leave quickly, this place is not safe!"

"Yes, yes, we need to leave here immediately!" Ban Ye didn’t have time to think more, rapidly leading the youngsters away from the vicinity of the Earth Snake Forest!

Once Lin Bai and everyone left the Earth Snake Forest. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Deep within the Earth Snake Forest, inside a melting cave, an old man dressed in an earthy-yellow robe sat cross-legged, his gaze directed towards Lin Bai, speaking lightly: "Why would a Sword Child of the Sword God Family come to a small place like Black Water City?"

"I shouldn’t be mistaken; the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill he exhibited is indeed the ultimate technique of the Sword God Family’s legacy!"

"Only a Sword Child has the qualification to cultivate it to that level."

"But this person seems unfamiliar; among the nine Sword Children of the Sword God Family, none has his visage!"

The old man whispered to himself.

However, he then shook his head and said, "Forget it, whether he is a Sword Child or not, I cannot provoke this person. If he truly is a Sword Child and I harm him here, the Sword God Family would not let it go easily!"

The old man shook his head, immediately issuing an order that all Earth Snakes must not leave the Earth Snake Forest.

...

Ban Ye led Lin Bai and the others, swiftly leaving the Earth Snake Forest.

After traveling for a day at full speed, they arrived at a safe place.

Ban Ye, still with lingering fear, said: "We are now not far from Black Water City, we can rest here for the night; it should be relatively safe, and we can return to Black Water City tomorrow!"

"Thanks for your help, brother, or else the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Ban Ye clasped his fists gratefully towards Lin Bai.

Lin Bai smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "It was nothing, just a little effort!"

However, at this moment, Ban Ye, curious, looked at Lin Bai and said: "You are a Sword Child?"

Lin Bai frowned and said: "What is a Sword Child?"

Ban Ye said mildly: "I’m not very clear either, but it’s said that a Sword Child is a title given to the most outstanding disciple in the Sword God Family, and just now the Earth Snake King seemed to regard you as a Sword Child of the Sword God Family."

Lin Bai laughed, "I don’t even know what a Sword Child is; how could I be one? He probably mistook me. Honestly, I don’t even know where the Sword God Family is located."

"By the way, Uncle Ban Ye, do you know where the Sword God Family is?"

Lin Bai curiously asked at this moment.

Ban Ye chuckled, "Of course, I know, beyond the Northern Continent, at the Peak of the Firmament, the Sword God Family, with one sword ruling the world!"

"The location of the Sword God Family is at the Peak of the Firmament of the Northern Continent!"

Lin Bai excitedly asked, "Where is the Peak of the Firmament?"

Ban Ye pointed to the sky and laughed, "Look, it’s right above us; above our heads is the Peak of the Firmament!"

Lin Bai frowned at Ban Ye, unable to understand his meaning!
