Lin Bai looked at Bai Xiaoxiao with a touch of tenderness.
"I don’t want you to wander the world with me."
Lin Bai said with a smile.
Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Since we both don’t want to run, let’s face it together."
"Isn’t Lin Zhai also my home?"
Bai Xiaoxiao laughed, "I am the lady of the house here."
"Today, let them see that Lin Zhai is not a manor that they can enter at will!"
Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao exchanged smiles, and instantly, both of their figures flickered, disappearing within the manor.
At this moment Cheng Hua, along with a group of warriors, was constantly searching for Lin Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao within the vast Lin Zhai.
When Cheng Hua arrived at the water pavilion, he saw that the food on the table was still warm and sternly said, "They were just here. They must’ve discovered us."
"Search quickly, don’t let them get away."
Cheng Hua said coldly, and immediately his figure flashed as he quickly moved through Lin Zhai.
In a dim passageway, four or five warriors were constantly searching each room.
"Damn, the kid must be hiding here."
"Yes, we haven’t found him anywhere!"
"Lin Zhai is too big, we probably will have to search room by room until dawn!"
As these five warriors were looking for him, they were cursely whispering.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning crossed the sky.
The bright lightning illuminated the dark passageway for a moment.
The five warriors were taken aback because in front of them, a white-robed woman suddenly appeared, her eyes filled with boundless coldness.
The five warriors were frightened and cried out in surprise.
"Weren’t you here to look for us? Why don’t you know who we are?" The white-robed woman replied coldly.
Suddenly, the white-robed woman’s figure flickered, moving like a ghost in the wind, passing by these five people and releasing five thunderous palms.
Bang bang bang bang——
Five crisp sounds were heard. These five warriors were directly hit by the white-robed woman and smashed onto the wall. They spit out fresh blood, their bodies convulsing a few times before they died.
"I’ve handled five. I wonder how many Lin Bai has dealt with?"
The white-robed woman revealed her face. It was Bai Xiaoxiao.
Bai Xiaoxiao was not weak in her cultivation. Even compared to Lin Bai, she was only slightly inferior.
However, Bai Xiaoxiao had long held a high position and did not take action easily, so few people knew of her extraordinary combat power.
After killing these five people, Bai Xiaoxiao continued to go forward, looking for other warriors.
Just then, Bai Xiaoxiao arrived at the waterside pavilion where she had dined with Lin Bai.
Suddenly, a cold gaze locked onto her!
Bai Xiaoxiao looked up to see Cheng Hua standing on the waterside pavilion, his eyes were cold and he was grinning at her.
Bai Xiaoxiao saw Cheng Hua at that moment.
Cheng Hua, the ninth rank on the Potential List, was renowned for his earth-shattering boxing skills. Warriors who could enter the top ten of the Potential List were all monster-level prodigies, absolutely not to be underestimated.
Of course, Bai Xiaoxiao recognized Cheng Hua, having encountered him earlier during the day.
In the dark corridor, shadows were flashing like ghosts.
"Strange, how is it that there’s not a single soul in Lin’s residence?"
"Yes, it’s so desolate, not even a ghost in sight!"
These seven or eight warriors whispered amongst themselves, their eyes prudently scanning their surroundings.
All of a sudden, an oppressive power surged towards them rapidly.
The complexions of these seven or eight warriors changed, and they turned around quickly. All they saw was a white-robed man, like a streak of white lightning, charging towards them from the end of the corridor and reaching them in an instant!
"Are you an idiot? Who do you think it is!"
"Apart from our target, Lin Bai, who else could be in Lin’s residence?"
"Brothers, let’s kill him!"
These seven or eight men exclaimed in surprise, and initiated a terrifying assault on Lin Bai, with fists flying towards him!
"One-breath Instant Kill Sword! Die!"
The sword’s aura revealed itself, sword lights dancing around.
Swish swish swish swish——
A flurry of sword light soared into the sky, causing blood to fly everywhere.
Lin Bai moved relentlessly, weaving through these seven or eight warriors.
When he passed them, these seven or eight warriors fell to the ground, their eyes wide open in shock, dead with disbelief!
"How is this possible..."
"In a joint attack from us, we couldn’t even block his single sword stroke..."
"No, no, I am a genius, I have to get to Miracle Ridge... I have to become the ultimate strong one..."
These seven or eight warriors lay in pooling blood, after struggling, they lost their vitality.
Lin Bai kept moving proceeding, with not a moment’s hesitation. He continued to search for any others who had escaped his notice in the residence.
"With my current power, killing those in the Half-step Divine Pill Realm is as easy as turning my hand!"
"Even if I face a person in the First Layer of the Human Elixir Realm, if I use all my resources, I could kill them!"
"But now, if a master in the Second Layer of the Human Elixir Realm comes, I’ll have to use the Great Desolation skill to defeat them."
"But the side effects of the Great Desolation skill are horrifying. If, after using it, I still can’t escape, when the time limit runs out, I’ll become as weak as a lamb ready for slaughter, perhaps even someone in the Xuanwu Realm could easily kill me."
"Unless I’m in a desperate situation, I wouldn’t resort to using the Great Desolation Skill."
Lin Bai thought back to the time when he exercised the Great Desolation Skill in the Shengyue Sect. That sense of powerlessness gave Lin Bai a deep-seated trauma.
It was utter despair.
At that time, Lin Bai felt a tremendous amount of power in his Dantian, but he just couldn’t utilize it.
His entire body was weak, he felt empty and powerless, like being engulfed by despair.
Back then, he felt that even a warrior in the Xuanwu or Earth Martial Realm could easily kill him.
After that experience, Lin Bai vowed to himself, unless it was a matter of life or death, he would never employ the Great Desolation Skill.
"If a practitioner from the Third Layer of the Human Elixir Realm comes, even if I unleash the Great Desolation Skill, I probably won’t stand a chance..."
"But in all of Tianding City, very few people have reached above the Third Layer of the Human Elixir Realm. Even if there were, they wouldn’t appear easily."
Lin Bai walked while pondering.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh——
As Lin Bai continued on, he saw five or six warriors. Without a moment’s delay, Lin Bai lunged forward, and with a flash of his sword, he immediately executed them. They didn’t even have time to scream before they fell into the blood-soaked ground, dead.
Just then, after killing those invaders of Lin’s residence, a sudden pillar of fire rose into the sky from a distance, a fearsome power resonated throughout Lin’s residence.
The color drained from Lin Bai’s face as he blurred into a shadow, racing toward the source of the power
