Chapter 945: Sword Immortal Lin Beichen
Zhu Zhixun, Xiong Gang, and the others began to grow tense.
“Senior, should we slow down a bit?” Zhu Zhixun whispered cautiously.
Diving so recklessly could prove fatal. If they encountered a higher level Void Beast or accidentally triggered a natural formation embedded in the terrain, it could easily lead to a deadly trap with little chance of survival.
“It’s fine,” Li Xiaofei replied calmly.
He couldn’t be certain whether there were any traps left behind by the Reapers. Logically speaking, if someone like Zhu Zhixun could trace the possibility of Sword Immortal Lin Beichen being trapped here, then the Reaper Ancestor Court would undoubtedly be aware of it too.
That meant the Reapers might have indeed left behind some sort of trap. If someone trespassed, it could trigger a reaction. Therefore, this had to be settled quickly and decisively.
A roar suddenly echoed as a bat-like creature with wings spanning nearly a thousand meters surged upward, lunging straight toward Li Xiaofei and his group.
The Void Beasts, which inhabited the rising cliffs of the abyss, were at least at level seven. But to Li Xiaofei, such a threat was negligible. He had already been able to fight cultivators of the Seven Transformation Realm back when he was still in the Six Gods Realm. Now that he had reached the Seven Transformation Realm himself, his strength had increased dramatically.
A blade flashed through the air and the Void Beast was slain instantly. However, bats were social creatures by nature. Sure enough, the very next moment, more flying Void Beasts burst forth from the darkness. They swarmed toward Li Xiaofei and the others like a tidal wave.
Shrill, piercing cries erupted from their mouths. The sound was incredibly powerful, capable of shattering the icy cliffs around them in an instant. Yet the flying sword beneath Li Xiaofei’s feet generated a pale red barrier in a flash, isolating them from all the incoming sound waves.
This scene left Zhu Zhixun and the others even more shaken and excited. Time and again, Li Xiaofei shattered their understanding of what was possible. Relentless flashes of his blade slew all the bat-like Void Beasts. Their corpses plummeted into the depths of the abyss like dumplings dropping into boiling water.
“What a pity. The corpses of so many level seven Void Beasts could have been a fortune if we managed to collect them,” Xiong Gang murmured.
