"Lin San, what are you doing here!?" Li Fan stared at Lin San in disbelief.
He hadn't expected to see Lin San appear at this moment!
"I just returned from the secret realm," Lin San said with a wry smile.
He had thought someone was hiding inside, but to his surprise, it was Li Shu.
"You're lucky you didn't come back earlier, or things could've been disastrous," Li Shu sighed as he put down his weapon.
Not long after Lin San entered the secret realm, a group of powerful Demon Gods invaded. These Demon Gods were immensely strong, slaughtering all the Wu Shen in Tianyun City. There was no way to fight back.
If Li Shu hadn't hidden in this secret chamber, he would likely have been killed as well.
"They're probably still in the main city. We need to leave quickly!" Li Shu suddenly warned, his voice urgent.
With Lin San having killed those Demon Gods, if they didn't leave soon, they would likely be discovered!
Thinking about this, Lin San grew more anxious.
"Are they really that strong?" Lin San asked reflexively.
His strength had grown significantly, and he no longer felt fear when facing the so-called Demon Gods.
"They're incredibly strong, and one of them might even be the Demon God King," Li Shu said, shuddering at the memory. "The scariest thing is, that guy holds a sword that seems to suck blood!"
"A bloodsucking sword!?" Lin San was taken aback.
A sword that could absorb blood? Wasn't that similar to his own sword?
"A sword that absorbs blood?" Ye Fan chimed in from within the sword. He too was curious now.
For such a long time, no other sword besides his had displayed such an ability.
"Yes, from a distance, I saw the Demon God King absorb the blood of the Wu Shen he killed with his sword!" Li Shu recalled, his scalp tingling with fear.
Buzzing—
"Let's go see it!" Ye Fan's voice echoed loudly.
Though Lin San couldn't hear Ye Fan's words directly, the sword vibrated intensely in his hand.
"You want to go?" Lin San muttered, looking down at the sword in his hand.
"Of course," Ye Fan responded. For some reason, the thought of another sword capable of absorbing blood intrigued him. He had to find out what it was.
"Alright, let's go check it out," Lin San nodded, sensing the urgency.
"Lin San, are you talking to your sword?" Li Shu was stunned, looking at Lin San's odd behavior.
"Yes, I feel like my sword is urging me to head over there," Lin San explained with a nod.
"Are you insane!? That's the Demon God King—a deity-level being! You're not even..." Li Shu exclaimed in shock.
But before he could finish, he suddenly realized something. He looked closely at Lin San.
His arm... had been restored!
"Did you... recreate your body!?" Li Shu asked, astonished.
He could clearly sense the powerful energy waves coming from Lin San's body now, completely different from before.
"Did you have a miraculous encounter in the secret realm!?" Li Shu added, excitement in his voice.
"Indeed," Lin San smiled. "And I found what I was looking for."
"Good boy!" Li Shu patted Lin San's shoulder, genuinely happy for him.
"I'm heading to the main city to investigate. Li Shu, you should leave Tianyun City for now," Lin San said, his gaze shifting to the distance.
Tianyun City was vast, and the main city was where the City Lord's Mansion was located. The City Lord of Tianyun City was a peak Nine-star Wu Shen. But against the Demon God King, he was likely in grave danger.
"If you're set on this, there's nothing more I can say," Li Shu sighed in resignation. "I'll go to Linhai City and report this to the God Kings."
Linhai City was the superior city to Tianyun City, where powerful figures like God Kings resided.
"Alright," Lin San nodded slightly. With that, his figure soared into the air, flying swiftly toward the central city.
From the sky, he could clearly see the devastation below—many buildings had been destroyed, and even the place where he had lived was reduced to rubble.
Seeing this, Lin San's expression grew colder.
"Hahaha! To think the City Lord of such a large city is such a weakling!" a towering figure laughed boisterously in the City Lord's Mansion.
The Demon Gods around him laughed heartily as well.
"You dare to break the truce and invade our Wu Shen Realm!" the heavily injured City Lord of Tianyun City glared at the towering Demon God before him, speaking with great difficulty.
The strength of this Demon God King was overwhelming. With his current power, he stood no chance.
What was even more terrifying was the sword the Demon God King wielded—a sword that could absorb blood!
After absorbing blood, the sword became even more fearsome.
"Heh heh," the Demon God King sneered. "We in the Demon God Domain now possess the power to crush you Wu Shen."
The Demon God King continued with a chilling grin, "We've forged eighteen powerful swords, each one containing immense power. With these weapons, our strength has increased exponentially!"
...
"Are they all over there?" Lin San murmured as he neared the City Lord's Mansion, sensing an overwhelming wave of energy coming from ahead.
As he approached, he saw a large group of Demon Gods gathered there, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't expected there to be so many!
"Who goes there!?" several Demon Gods suddenly emerged, rushing toward Lin San from the surroundings. They seemed to be guarding the area.
"Get lost," Lin San said indifferently.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he swung the Ye Fan Sword in the air.
[Void-Splitting Slash]!
Three powerful sword beams shot out in a conical formation.
The three Demon Gods didn't even have time to react before they were struck.
