Swish!
Sword energy shot out in all directions!
In the astonished eyes of the Alchemy Sect disciple, the intertwined purple and red sword energy cleanly severed the head of the tusked wild boar, sending a fountain of blood gushing out.
[Killed 7th-tier Tusked Wild Boar, gained 80 evolution points!]
[Absorbed 7th-tier Tusked Wild Boar's blood essence, gained 6 energy points!]
"Gasp?!"
The Alchemy Sect disciple gasped in shock, his hands still clutching the boar's tusks as he tossed aside the lifeless body and shouted, "Senior Brother Lin! You're so powerful!"
"And... how are you able to release an attack at the level of a Foundation Establishment cultivator when you're also only at the Qi Refining Peak like us?"
"Hehe, the situation is critical now, we'll discuss it later!" Lin Li chuckled, feeling a surge of energy being fed back to him through the Blood-Drinking Sword. His spirit lifted as he thought, "Finally, it's starting!"
"This time, I'm going to have a real slaughter!"
At the same time, Ye Fan was equally exhilarated.
"This beast tide came at the perfect time! I'm definitely going to rack up a huge amount of evolution points and energy from this!"
Ye Fan's excitement was contagious, and Lin Li felt the sword trembling slightly in his hand, making him grin. "Blood-Drinking Sword, you're getting excited too, aren't you? Hahaha!"
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin!" The Alchemy Sect disciple nodded, convinced of Lin Li's logic, and pointed to a distant figure, shouting, "Please, help save my senior brother!"
Following the direction, Lin Li saw another Alchemy Sect disciple with a goatee struggling against a Saber-Toothed Tiger's attack.
"Understood!"
Lin Li leaped into the air, and while mid-flight, he unleashed a powerful slash at the Saber-Toothed Tiger.
Swish!
Another crescent-shaped sword aura swept across the battlefield, instantly cleaving the Saber-Toothed Tiger in half!
[Killed 9th-tier Saber-Toothed Tiger, gained 180 evolution points!]
[Absorbed 9th-tier Saber-Toothed Tiger's blood essence, gained 66 energy points!]
"That tiger yielded a decent amount of evolution points!" Ye Fan felt satisfied, growing more eager for the bounty the beast tide would bring.
The previously arrogant Qi Sect disciples, who had been boasting, were now utterly shocked after witnessing Lin Li's sword energy instantly kill two fierce demonic beasts.
"How is this possible?!"
The two Qi Sect disciples were currently engaged in battle with a towering twenty-meter-tall giant elephant.
Though they had inflicted many injuries on the giant creature, the wounds were minor compared to the beast's enormous size, leaving it with plenty of fighting power.
"How is he this strong?!"
Caught in their disbelief, the two Qi Sect disciples failed to evade in time and were struck by the elephant's massive trunk.
The elephant's trunk was as thick as a barrel, and the impact was akin to being hit by a speeding bus.
"Pffft!"
Both disciples spat out blood simultaneously, their bodies sent flying backward. They smashed through two large trees before finally being wedged into the third tree, clearly severely injured.
Seeing this, Lin Li's eyes burned with fury.
"You beast! How dare you harm my fellow disciples! Prepare to die!"
With a fierce roar, Lin Li leaped into the air, soaring over ten meters high. As he reached the peak of his jump, he channeled half of his spiritual energy into the Blood-Drinking Sword.
With the combined power of the Bloodlust and Slaughter abilities, Lin Li's body surged with power, and a massive sword aura, more than ten meters long, was unleashed.
"Roarrr!!"
The towering elephant could only let out one final cry before the sword aura pierced through its head, killing it instantly.
Splurt!
Blood sprayed across the sky.
[Killed 10th-tier Giant Elephant, gained 300 evolution points!]
[Absorbed 10th-tier Giant Elephant's blood essence, gained 89 energy points!]
"What?!!"
The two Qi Sect disciples, having barely managed to climb down from the damaged trees, looked up just in time to witness the giant elephant collapsing to the ground. Their eyes widened in disbelief, mouths agape as they exclaimed, "Even that giant elephant… he killed it with just one sword?!"
"This…"
"This is…"
"Unbelievable!!"
Even Ge Hao from the Sword Sect, who had fought Lin Li before, was utterly astonished. "If he had shown this level of strength when we dueled, I wouldn't have stood a chance! To think I once believed he won through the use of pills in a drawn-out battle. But his true power is far beyond what I imagined!"
The non-combat-oriented disciples from the Talisman Sect, Alchemy Sect, and Equipment Sect were even more shocked than the Qi Sect disciples and Ge Hao. For them, Lin Li was like an invincible war god. If he wanted to kill them, it would be effortless!
"No wonder Lin Li had the confidence to act alone…"
"With such overwhelming strength, he has nothing to fear, even against teams from other sects!"
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
While everyone was still reeling from shock, Lin Li wasn't idle.
After landing, he unleashed sword energy in every direction, sweeping through the beast tide.
At this moment, the ground was crawling with beasts!
Lin Li didn't even need to worry about depleting his spiritual energy. Every time he released a sword strike, it would inevitably hit a demonic beast, allowing the Blood-Drinking Sword to absorb their essence and restore his energy.
In no time, Lin Li's spiritual energy was completely drained.
But in the next instant…
The Blood-Drinking Sword absorbed energy from the slain beasts, replenishing Lin Li's spiritual energy to full—and even making it stronger than before!
[Killed 6th-tier Tusked Wild Boar, gained 50 evolution points!]
[Killed 7th-tier Demon Dog, gained 80 evolution points!]
[Killed 8th-tier Barbarian Ox, gained 99 evolution points!]
[Killed 9th-tier Flying Eagle, gained 108 evolution points!]
[Killed 10th-tier Demon Wolf King, gained 280 evolution points!]
[Killed 6th-tier Demon Wolf, gained 60 evolution points!]
[Killed 7th-tier Demon Wolf, gained 77 evolution points!]
[Killed 9th-tier Demon Wolf, gained 150 evolution points!]
[Killed 8th-tier Demon Panther, gained 120 evolution points!]
…
In the span of one incense stick, the entire forest had been transformed into a bloody battlefield filled with the corpses of demonic beasts.
The once verdant forest had become a hellish landscape bathed in red.
Standing amidst the piles of demonic corpses, Lin Li resembled a god of death.
The nine representatives from Xuantian Sect, who had been bystanders for the most part, were now completely stunned, their expressions frozen in disbelief.
Finally, after a long silence, Ge Hao stammered, "S-s-senior brother… you…"
