As the purple light pillar shot skyward in that instant, it immediately overshadowed the red and orange light pillars. Almost all the strong ones now on Death Island rushed toward the location of the purple light pillar.

Lin Bai's face sank, and he swiftly flew forward.

"I thought it was someone else who got the purple token, turns out it's you!" At this time, a voice filled with cold laughter came from the woods ahead of Lin Bai.

Lin Bai's steps paused slightly at the words, and he looked up towards the forest ahead.

At this moment, three warriors emerged from the forest, one of whom was a young man that Lin Bai recognized.

"It's you!" Lin Bai sneered.

"After we parted at Bone Mountain, I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon." The young man sneered as he spoke.

This person was He Ran, Zhou Shaoyu. Previously, Lin Bai had crossed paths with him at Bone Mountain, but he had relied on the terrain of Bone Mountain to escape from Lin Bai's grasp. Lin Bai didn't expect to encounter him again on Death Island.

Besides Zhou Shaoyu, there were two others, a man and a woman, both handsome and beautiful, with strong cultivation, exuding an aura of the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm.

These two, like Zhou Shaoyu, were strong ones ranked on the Life-and-Death Ranking, even within the top twenty!

Seeing these three, Lin Bai's face sank.

"Zhou Shaoyu, is this the sword cultivator who made you return empty-handed from Bone Mountain?" The woman, as beautiful as a flower, chuckled, her eyes lively, sizing up Lin Bai.

"Doesn't seem like much, just a mere warrior of the Eighth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm." The other man snorted disdainfully.

Zhou Shaoyu's face sank, and he said flatly, "Chen Han, Zhao Sheng, don't underestimate him. His sword cultivation might be on par with Qin Tang, the top on the Life-and-Death Ranking!"

The two who came with Zhou Shaoyu indeed had extraordinary backgrounds.

The woman's name was Chen Han, a strong one ranked twenty-first on the Life-and-Death Ranking.

The other man, Zhao Sheng, was ranked twelfth on the Life-and-Death Ranking!

They were long-time friends with Zhou Shaoyu, intending to find these two to seek revenge on Lin Bai after leaving Bone Mountain. Unexpectedly, the Blood Sea suddenly surged, and the three came to the Blood Sea first.

But enemies met by chance, and in the Blood Sea, they happened upon Lin Bai again.

As for Qin Tang, he was the top on the Life-and-Death Ranking, dubbed the most promising sword cultivator to become a Quasi Holy Son. His strength was not far from that of a Quasi Holy Son.

"Brother Zhou, you must be joking. You say this ant from the Southern Yard of the Eighth Level of the Life-and-Death Realm can match Qin Tang in sword skills?" Zhao Sheng expressed his disbelief.

Zhou Shaoyu nodded coldly.

"Since he's such a formidable opponent, I'm curious to see how capable he truly is!" The beautiful woman, Chen Han, laughed chillingly and approached Lin Bai!

Seeing the three, Lin Bai understood they were strong ones on the Life-and-Death Ranking and said coldly, "If you want to spar, come at me together. Otherwise, it's a waste of time!"

"If you don't want to spar, then get lost!"

"Don't block my way!"

Lin Bai said coldly.

"Humph, what arrogance! I don't need them to deal with you!" The beautiful woman, Chen Han, shook her body slightly, turning into shadows that pressed toward Lin Bai, her terrifying power unfolding instantly.

The warriors on the Life-and-Death Ranking, especially those in the top thirty, were truly extraordinary!

"Prepare to die!" Chen Han shouted, her beautiful eyes sharp, as she delivered a palm strike.

"You think you can handle me? You're not qualified!" Lin Bai's eyes flashed, his demonic sword flew from the storage bag, and a sharp sword aura shot toward the woman.

Rumble——

A deafening explosion sounded.

One sword strike hit Chen Han, sending her flying backward.

"Chen Han, are you all right?" Zhao Sheng called out urgently.

Repelled a hundred meters by Lin Bai's strike, Chen Han landed with a face of fear, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and said with a dark expression, "I'm fine. This person's swordsmanship is truly strong; that strike just now could almost rival Qin Tang."

Seeing Chen Han driven back by a single strike and even bleeding, Zhou Shaoyu's face sank immediately and said, "Zhao Sheng, Chen Han, let's not waste words with him, attack together, kill him and seize the purple token!"

"Alright!" Zhao Sheng, also full of viciousness, agreed.

The three of them launched forward from all directions, attacking together, and their terrifying power shook the surroundings instantly.

"Die!"

The three attacked simultaneously without any words; the cold word "die" showed their determination to kill Lin Bai.

"Couldn't hold back after all? So be it, let's resolve this together then!"

"Heaven-reaching Sword Skill!"

As Lin Bai saw the three approaching, he growled internally, and three-colored flames instantly gathered within him.

"Ruyi ring!" In the instant Lin Bai operated the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill, the Ruyi ring flashed, and Lin Bai's figure vanished from where he stood!

Rumble——

The three joined forces to attack, only to find Lin Bai's figure suddenly disappeared upon impact.

"Where did he go?" Zhou Shaoyu said with a face of terror.

Coinciding with Zhou Shaoyu and the others' surprise, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Zhou Shaoyu: "If I could use the Ruyi ring at Bone Mountain, you wouldn't have had the chance to escape!"

"Originally you escaped and should have avoided me, but you insist on seeking death today!"

"Then I shall take your life!"

Upon hearing the cold voice from behind him, Zhou Shaoyu's pupils burst with fear, terrified, cold sweat drenching him, he turned around abruptly, seeing a flash of golden light behind him, as if a cold, ruthless person emerged from the void!

One sword, aimed directly at Zhou Shaoyu's head!

"No, no, no...don't..." The intense crisis of life and death forced Zhou Shaoyu to plead, "Don't kill me, my elder brother is the Quasi-Saint of the East Continent Academy, Zhou Shaoxuan, if you dare kill me, my brother won't spare you!"

"I don't care who your brother is. Today you provoke me, your life must be left behind!" Lin Bai brought the sword down, and Zhou Shaoyu's head, accompanied by blood, flew off his neck!

Bang!

Zhou Shaoyu's headless corpse fell to the ground.

At this moment, Chen Han and Zhao Sheng returned to their senses, watching Zhou Shaoyu's body fall with incredible shock on their faces!

"You actually killed Zhou Shaoyu with one sword!"

"But he was the ninth-ranked strong one on the Life-and-Death Ranking!"

Zhao Sheng was frightened pale by Lin Bai's sword!

"You're insane! You dare kill Zhou Shaoyu; aren't you afraid of his brother Zhou Shaoxuan's retaliation?" The beautiful woman, Chen Han, exclaimed.

"Today it's not just him who must die; the same goes for you..." After killing Zhou Shaoyu, Lin Bai's face grew colder, looking at Chen Han and Zhao Sheng. The Ruyi ring flashed, and Lin Bai teleported twice, appearing in front of Chen Han and Zhao Sheng.

One after another, two swords landed, and the two fell instantly!

Just as Lin Bai killed the three of Zhou Shaoyu, warriors emerged from the surrounding forest, all eying the purple mark on Lin Bai's forehead with extraordinary greed...

Lin Bai looked around at the countless warriors, unsure if it was one hundred or two hundred...

But Lin Bai no longer cared. Looking at these people, he coldly said, "I'll say this first...if you want to live, get out now!"

"If you don't want your life, then come at me!"

Lin Bai gave a cold warning.

Yet these warriors, their eyes blood-red, did not retreat, charging toward Lin Bai...
