Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhao Fei’er looked at Lin Bai in surprise. She didn’t even notice it. How did Lin Bai, whose cultivation level was lower than hers, know?

However, since they had discovered that someone was secretly spying on them, it was better to be careful.

“Everyone, be careful.” Zhao Fei’er also felt that she heard something.

Could it be that the demonic beasts had already discovered them?

In Lin Bai’s perception, the thing that was spying on them seemed ready to attack them at any time.

He drew his sword, activated his true essence, and stood ready to strike at any time.

They continued to walk into the forest. Originally, they planned to reach the place where the demonic beast often appeared first, but now they decided to find a spacious area nearby.

It was very likely that Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard was spying on them.

Zhao Fei’er held a talisman in her hand, and there was a faint flash of lightning on it. It seemed that Zhao Fei’er might have felt that there was danger and prepared to use the talisman in advance.

Originally, Lin Bai wanted to buy some talismans from the sect before he set off, but he felt that the price was a little expensive, so he gave up.

Lin Bai even wanted to learn how to make talismans himself. The cultivators in the sect who knew how to make talismans were extremely rich.

Liu Dong and Xu Xiaoran held their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

Zheng Yu followed Zhao Fei’er and seemed a little nervous. Perhaps it was because she rarely went out for missions, so her mental state was not as good as the others.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past, accompanied by the roar of the demonic beast.

“Dodge!” Zhao Fei’er pushed the stunned Zheng Yu. She had no chance to use the talisman in her hand.

At this moment, the black shadow had already appeared. It moved extremely fast. It was their target, Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard.

Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard’s scarlet eyes looked extremely terrifying, and the horn on its head flickered with a cold light under the weak sunlight in the woods. Its initial attack on Zheng Yu was just a feint. Its true target was Zhao Fei’er.

However, its speed was too fast. Before Zhao Fei’er could cast her talisman, it twisted its body in the air and slapped Zhao Fei’er with its powerful claws.

Lin Bai rushed forward and raised his sword to block the attack. “Clang”, Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard’s claws collided with the sword, and a stream of demonic beast blood spurted out.

Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard turned around and rushed into the forest.

All of this happened in a split second, and no one had expected the Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard to be so fast. It almost injured Zhao Fei’er.

Just now, Lin Bai’s reaction was the fastest, and his move was also very fast. It made them all think that Lin Bai had learned some movement techniques. But in fact, it was just because of Lin Bai’s excellent physical fitness. After all, he had an extra 200 years of lifespan compared to others. His current physical fitness was extraordinary.

“Thank you, junior brother Lin.” Zhao Fei’er’s face was a little pale. She had taken on many missions before, but this was the first time she had encountered such a dangerous situation.

Although Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard’s cultivation level wasn’t high, its speed was as fast as lightning.

In the team, Lin Bai was probably the only one who could keep up with its speed.

Zhao Feier instantly understood that this task would mainly rely on Lin Bai to complete.

Zheng Yu, on the other hand, was still trembling next to them. The demonic beast had come straight for her just now, and its might made her terrified. This was her first time on a mission, so her mentality was poor.

“Its claws are injured. Don’t worry too much. From now on, Lin Bai takes charge of the attack. Others cooperate with him!” Zhao Fei’er changed her strategy. After saying that, she glanced at Lin Bai again.

Among the outer sect disciples of the Human Immortal Sect, there were not many people who were as outstanding as Lin Bai.

No one had objections to Zhao Fei’er’s strategy. In the short battle with the demonic beasts just now, their side had a slight advantage.

“Strike while the iron is hot!”

Everyone began to track down and chase the demonic beasts.

Lin Bai’s sword had wounded the demonic beast’s claw, and there were faint traces of blood on the ground.

Due to the early attack of the demonic beast, some of their preparations became completely useless.

Zhao Fei’er couldn’t even manage to cast her talisman earlier because the demonic beast’s speed was too fast and she was a bit slow to react after rescuing Zheng Yu.

Soon, they tracked down the demonic beast to a clearing where a giant tree stood in the center, with a dark figure resting on a thick branch.

Lin Bai scanned the surroundings and noticed several skeletal remains beneath the tree, likely victims of the Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard’s previous killings.

The demonic beast’s angry roar came from the tree. It might not have expected Lin Bai and the others to dare to chase after it.

In the blink of an eye, the Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard disappeared from the tree, but Lin Bai could sense that the beast was nearby, ready to attack them at any moment.

To everyone’s surprise, the demonic beast charged straight toward Xu Xiaoran at an incredible speed, like a bolt of lightning.

But in Lin Bai’s eyes, the speed didn’t seem that fast.

Before Xu Xiaoran could react, Lin Bai had already drawn his sword.

“Everyone, attack!” Lin Bai shouted.

Zhao Fei’er was the first to react. The talisman in her hand shot toward the position in front of Lin Bai, and a lightning bolt as thick as a finger shot over. This should be a Lightning Strike Talisman.

Everyone looked at the position of Lin Bai’s sword. Wherever Lin Bai slashed, they would attack.

Although the Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard was extremely fast, it had already suffered many injuries after a few attacks. It stared at Lin Bai with a murderous gaze.

However, its current speed was not as fast as before. They surrounded it from front to back and trapped it in the middle.

When it tried to attack Lin Bai, everyone took the opportunity to attack it again and directly knocked it over.

After killing the demonic beast, everyone felt relieved.

Xu Xiaoran and Liu Dong were responsible for handling the materials on the Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard. From its fur to its blood to its horn, everything was valuable. These were additional rewards for their mission, and the sect would also pay spirit stones to collect these materials.

After examining the value of these materials, the group estimated that they were worth at least 1000 spirit stones. This was due to the fact that the Purple Striped Single-horned Leopard’s speed was extremely fast, which indicated that its horn had the potential to be forged into special equipment.

Since it was mainly thanks to Lin Bai that they were able to complete the task, the group unanimously decided to give half of the extra spirit stones they received to Lin Bai. This meant that Lin Bai would receive 500 spirit stones on his own.

If not for Lin Bai’s keen senses and movement techniques, even if they could defeat this demonic beast, they would still be injured, or even seriously injured.

Lin Bai clearly felt that everyone was much more enthusiastic toward him. Zhao Fei’er even exchanged the address of her abode with him, so that they could go on missions together in the future.

Lin Bai noted it down.

Zhao Fei’er was in a bit of a miserable state this time. Her white dress was torn up by the demonic beast, exposing her thighs, but thankfully, she wasn’t directly hit by the demonic beast.

Lin Bai used his clothes to cover Zhao Fei’er’s exposed skin.
