Chapter 27: The Great Demon of the Purple Mansion

  "A roar." A loud growl echoed through the mountains and forests. Not long after, the growling suddenly stopped, followed by a heavy thud.

  "Nineteen." Ling Lin muttered to himself, counting quietly. This was the nineteenth fierce beast he had killed, "Still not enough." He let out a faint sigh and quickly left, starting his search for the next target.

  "Twenty-four." Ling Lin stepped on a giant white wolf with piercing green eyes.

  Thirty.

  Forty-three.

  ……

  "Fifty." The white robe was spotless, and Ling Lin looked like a young man on an outing, slowly emerging from behind a tree. He raised his head, looking at the sky that had already begun to darken, and muttered to himself. Behind him, one could vaguely see the corpse of a giant ape floating in the water.

  In one day, Ling Lin fought in many places, spanning several areas. Although it was hard work, the harvest was also great. In just one short day, he killed fifty fierce beasts.

  "Just a little bit more." Feeling the intense killing intent within his body, Ling Lin narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.

  In the dense forest, a hundreds of meters long giant python with bright red color is hovering in mid-air. The enormous divine sense of the python is scanning downwards.

  "Not here."

  "There isn't one here either."

  ……

  The red python flew while scanning its surroundings. It had been three days already, and although it was a powerful demon from the Zi Fu realm, the Lian Yun mountain range was too vast. Despite having ruled out many places, it still couldn't keep up with the search.

  Suddenly, the dark red eyes of the giant python burst open, and a terrifying aura rose sharply, mixed with boundless anger. The giant python growled: "Finally found you!"

  A fiery red glow flashed across the sky and quickly disappeared on the spot.

  Suddenly, Ling Lin's eyes snapped open, and a breath that was hard to imagine appeared in his perception, and it was still rapidly approaching him. It was rushing towards him, this was Ling Lin's first reaction.

  "Zifu Great Demon!" Ling Lin roared. Feeling the terrifying aura that was transmitted, Ling Lin knew that this was absolutely not something he could resist at his current level. Escape! Without time to think, Ling Lin instantly began sprinting at top speed - this was truly a matter of life and death. If he were caught by the Zifu Great Demon behind him, there would be no escape route! Although he could easily kill a pre-heavenly realm early-stage fierce beast, or even contend with a late-stage fierce beast, in front of a Zifu Realm great demon, he was still as weak as a child. It was just like how Ling Lin at this moment could kill a martial artist in the Martial Dao realm. In front of the Zifu Great Demon, Ling Lin might not be able to withstand even a single blow - the difference was enormous!

  Fortunately, I have the power of absorption, and fortunately, the power of absorption has the magical ability to sense the powerful ferocious beast. Otherwise, by the time I sensed it, the Purple Mansion Great Demon would almost be in front of me. There's still a chance! Without panic, the more dangerous it is, the calmer Ling Lin becomes. The Purple Mansion Great Demon is still some distance away from me, and I still have a chance.

  The internal force surged, and like a flash of lightning, it galloped rapidly through the dense forest.

  Can't shake off!

  Ling Lin's expression was solemn, and he quickly unfolded his devouring power, wildly absorbing the spiritual energy, condensing it to its fastest behind him, rapidly compressing, then suddenly releasing.

  "Hum." A white rainbow rose from the forest, tearing through the sky and flying swiftly towards the distant horizon.

  "It's really useful." Ling Lin was slightly delighted in his heart, after entering the Xiantian realm, his devouring power had become much stronger, and this unique accelerating secret method of his had also sped up a lot. Once again sensing the aura of the Zifu Great Demon, he had actually pulled open some distance.

  After using it several times in a row, Ling Lin finally stopped when he could no longer feel the aura of the purple mansion's great demon. He felt that his internal yuan force had been depleted by more than half, and his face was slightly pale. Although he had the power to absorb spiritual energy at an incredible speed, this flying method was too exhausting for his yuan force. The replenished spiritual energy still needed to be converted into yuan force, and the rate of replenishment and consumption were completely disproportionate.

  Slowly exhaling a breath, Ling Lin felt a bit frightened. How could there be a Purple Mansion Great Demon specifically hunting him down? Could it be that he had killed too many Innate Fierce Beasts recently, which led to this guy being drawn out, Ling Lin wondered. It seemed that for the time being, his actions needed to be more discreet and he also needed to change locations. This guy wouldn't keep chasing after him relentlessly, would he?

  Ling Lin never thought that this purple mansion's great demon was here to avenge him for killing so many pre-heavenly fierce beasts, but rather because his own son had been slaughtered by Ling Lin. A father's vengeance would not be easily forgotten, and he would not let Ling Lin off so lightly.

  "Hurry up and find a place to recover." Ling Lin thought so, quickly leaving this place.

  Just as Ling Lin left, a huge figure of fiery red color suddenly descended from mid-air. "How detestable! He actually got away. This little brat is really sinister, not only is his speed so fast, but he can also sense ahead of time." Chi Meng was furious, a great demon of the Violet Mansion, yet he let a pre-heavenly human brat escape from under his nose. "This brat must have some special treasure," Chi Meng thought to himself, he wouldn't believe that all this was due to the brat's own abilities, what a sinister existence!

  "No way, I have to think of a plan, or else he'll escape from me again next time." Akuma thought to himself.

  In an instant, a fierce flame suddenly burst forth, and a large expanse of dense forest was instantly incinerated into nothingness, the giant python's shadow disappearing without a trace.

  In the woods, "Huh." Ling Lin withdrew his palm and looked at the corpse of the fierce beast that had fallen at his feet, his expression slightly excited. Since being hunted down by the Red Python that day, Ling Lin's actions had become increasingly cautious. After repeatedly moving to many places and crossing several regions, Ling Lin finally dared to come out and continue hunting fierce beasts.

  After two days, Ling Lin's body finally reached a point where his killing intent could condense into a killing heart.

  No longer hesitant, Ling Lin prepared to find a safe place to start gathering the heart of slaughter. After gathering the heart of slaughter, the "Slaughter Fairy Scripture" would officially enter the doorway. At that time, his own strength would increase greatly, and even if he encountered the Purple Mansion's Great Demon head-on, he would still have a thread of chance to escape.
