In an instant, a streak of sword aura shot towards the person in front of him.
As soon as the sword appeared, the person's expression changed. He realized that the stone sword in Lin Long's hand was indeed a stone sword, not a wooden sword. This meant that Lin Long had the strength of a stone sword.
Wasn't this kid only at the wood sword level? How could he activate the Runestone Sword? For a moment, such a shocking thought flashed through his mind.
Amidst his shock, he hurriedly met the attack with his sword.
Peng!
The sword aura hit, and both of them took a few steps back. It seemed like they were evenly matched.
This kid's strength is only on par with mine. As long as I hold on for a while, when the others arrive, he will naturally be captured.
With this thought, he hurriedly issued a warning.
At this moment, Lin Long attacked him again. This time, Lin Long directly used the Wood Grain Steps.
Seeing that Lin Long's footwork had become extremely exquisite, the person in front of him was naturally shocked. After all, he did not know any footwork skills. He just so happened to be the one who did not know the Wood Grain Steps.
"You're using the Wood Grain Steps?" he exclaimed.
Lin Long ignored him. The Runestone Sword in his hand continued to attack.
Soon enough, he stabbed his sword into his opponent's chest.
"Ah …"
With a blood-curdling screech, the other party was directly injured and took a few steps back.
How could Lin Long let go of such an opportunity? He immediately surrounded him.
After two moves, Lin Long lost his life under his sword. This was the difference between having the Wood Grain Steps and not having the Wood Grain Steps. If Lin Long did not know the Wood Grain Steps, it would have been difficult for him to kill Lin Long so easily.
Coincidentally, there were two ferocious beasts nearby where they were fighting. Hearing the sounds of their battle, the two ferocious beasts quickly rushed over.
By the time they arrived, Lin Long had already dealt with this person.
After taking the spatial ring from this person, he turned and left.
These two fierce beasts came at the right time, so he naturally would not deal with them.
These two fierce beasts did not think of dealing with Lin Long either, because there were two corpses on the ground for them to enjoy.
Just as Lin Long left, the fastest one, Sun Yi, had already caught up. Meng Han followed closely behind him.
Meng Han and Sun Yi were a pair.
Seeing the two of them coming over, Linlong immediately left in another direction. There were two other people in that direction.
These two people were the weakest among Meng Han's people because they were Meng Han's followers. Because Sun Yi had only brought three people, including himself, these two people could not be with any Stone Sword-rank people.
At this moment, Linlong naturally chose to deal with them.
Very quickly, he saw the two people rushing towards him. He immediately revealed himself and stood in front of them to block their path.
"Lin Li!"
Seeing Lin Long, the two of them couldn't help but feel shocked. They couldn't understand why Lin Long would be here. Weren't the cries and warnings up ahead?
Before they could react, Linlong had already swept his sword towards the two of them.
This place was not far from Meng Han and the others. If he could not quickly deal with these two people, he would be in danger of being besieged by them. Thus, he naturally would not speak any nonsense.
Seeing Linlong's sword sweep towards them, the two people's expressions changed drastically. This was because they realized that Linlong was using a stone rune sword, and the Sword Qi that was activated was also at the Stone Sword-rank level.
Didn't they say that this kid could only use wooden rune swords? How could he activate a stone rune sword now? Naturally, the two of them were greatly alarmed.
In their shock, they hurriedly picked up their wooden rune swords to deal with Linlong.
However, how could their wooden rune swords be a match for Linlong? Moreover, they had acted hastily, so they did not have the slightest ability to resist.
One of the wooden swords was directly broken by Linlong's stone sword. At the same time, the Sword Qi that Linlong had sent out slashed across his chest.
With a blood-curdling screech, he lost his life.
The other person was slightly better off, but he was also forced to retreat by Linlong's sword. Before he could regain his footing, Linlong had already closed in on him.
"You … Don't kill me!" This person was so shocked that cold sweat broke out all over his body.
However, in the next moment, Linlong's Sword Qi had already slashed across his throat.
Just like that, the two wooden sword rank people were killed by Linlong in a short period of time.
Hearing two more screams, Sun Yi and the others, who had just chased away the two ferocious beasts, looked even more grim.
They had already confirmed that the two people who had been eaten by the two ferocious beasts were their companions. Moreover, they could also see that these two companions had not only been attacked by the ferocious beasts, but also by the Sword Qi.
Before they could carefully investigate and analyze how these two people had been killed, screams came from the other side. Their expressions did not look good at all.
At this time, other than Meng Han and Sun Yi, the other two people had also arrived.
One of these two people was naturally someone with the strength of a stone sword rank. This meant that they now had two people with the strength of a stone sword rank.
After the two screams, Meng Han's expression turned ugly. "It seems to be Mao Zhiyong and that person!"
The Mao Zhiyong and that person he spoke of were naturally his two followers. Although the two screams were very sudden and he did not recognize them, he had a vague feeling that it was them.
"Hong Da, I'll go over and take a look!" The other stone sword rank person immediately said to Sun Yi.
"Don't! The other party might also have a stone sword rank expert! "Sun Yi frowned.
Although he did not analyze the specific process, he guessed that the other party had the help of a stone sword rank person. Otherwise, there was no way they could have caused such damage in such a short period of time.
Hearing this, the other Stone Sword-rank person's expression naturally changed.
"Let's all stay together. Let's check this place first, then go over and take a look," Meng Han said.
Although he wanted nothing more than to capture Linlong immediately, the situation in front of him forced him to do so.
"Alright." Knowing that he could not be rash, the other stone sword rank person immediately nodded.
After observing for a while longer, Sun Yi and the others confirmed that of the two people who had been killed, the weaker one had been ambushed by a sword. As for the other person who had the strength of a Stone Sword Rank, they could not see the specific situation because he had been bitten to pieces by the two beasts.
"It is also very likely that the two of them encountered these two ferocious beasts. Then, Lin Li ambushed the Crown Prince's friend from behind. Then, he went to deal with He Yu. Because He Yu was attacked from both front and back, he eventually died," Sun Yi analyzed.
He Yu was this friend of his who had already fallen.
As the two ferocious beasts that they chased away were not too weak, he made this guess.
"In other words, Lin Li is very likely to be alone and does not have any companions!" Hearing Sun Yi's analysis, Meng Han's eyes immediately lit up.
With this, he naturally rekindled his hope of dealing with Linlong.
Because if Linlong really had companions of the stone sword rank, it would definitely be more difficult to deal with them, especially in a place where there were obviously more and stronger ferocious beasts.
"Yes, Crown Prince." Sun Yi nodded.
"Let's go to the place where the two screams came from!" Meng Han immediately said.
The four of them immediately turned around and walked in that direction.
Very quickly, they arrived at that place. Immediately, they saw the corpses of the two people on the ground, but what made them depressed was that there were three ferocious beasts tearing at their corpses, and the situation was even worse than before.
After they chased away the three ferocious beasts, they could not even recognize the two people. But in the end, they still confirmed that it was the two people from the two people's belongings on the ground.
"Seems like they were also tricked by Lin Li," Sun Yi said with a frown.
At this moment, one of Sun Yi's companions could not help but say, "Hongda, it is more dangerous here. I think we should leave and find a better opportunity to deal with Lin Li."
There was a trace of fear on his face. It was obvious that even though he was a Stone Sword-rank expert, he was still afraid of the deaths of these four people.
"Alright then, let's go back first," Meng Han said helplessly.
Although he felt that Lin Long was only able to launch a sneak attack because he was hiding in the dark, how could he force the other party to stay when someone was already afraid?
Because even if the other party stayed, he might not be able to do anything.
"Alright then, let's find a better opportunity another day," Sun Yi said helplessly.
The four of them immediately went back the way they came. However, just after they took a few steps, a scream came from the right.
And from the sound, it seemed like some ferocious beast was chasing someone.
"Could it be Lin Li?" Meng Han immediately said with joy.
"Let's go and take a look!" Sun Yi made a prompt decision.
The four of them immediately rushed in that direction. Soon, they saw two level-3 ferocious beasts chasing a person. Who else could it be but Lin Long?
What made them even more happy was that there were obvious traces of blood on Lin Long's body.
"Looks like he is injured. Let's chase after him!" Sun Yi could not help but exclaim.
After saying that, the four of them chased in that direction.
As they were far away, after chasing for a while, the four of them realized that they had actually lost sight of the two ferocious beasts and Lin Long when they reached the bottom of a hill.
But at this time, how could they give up? Most importantly, Lin Long was already injured. This was a great opportunity.
Sun Yi then instructed, "Cao Shi, the two of you on the left. Crown Prince and I on the right!"
Not only were there many trees at the bottom of the hill, but there were also many rocks. There was no way to see far, so he could only arrange it this way.
Since he and Cao Shi both had the strength of a stone sword rank, and Lin Long was already injured, he was not worried about anything happening.
At this time, Lin Long was hiding on their left, which was also the direction that Cao Shi and Meng Han came from. As for the two ferocious beasts that were chasing after him, they had already been killed by him.
The one who was injured just now was not him, but the two ferocious beasts. The blood on his body came from the two ferocious beasts.
As for the scream, it was intentional. It was to attract Meng Han and the others over.
As expected, his plan worked.
When those people came chasing just now, Lin Long took advantage of the distance between them and killed the two ferocious beasts using the intricacies of the Wood Grain Steps.
Because of his ingenious actions and the fact that the two ferocious beasts had special voices, they could not make any loud noises. Therefore, the people behind him did not notice anything amiss.
By the time they caught up, he was already hiding.
"Damn it, where did that brat hide? And those two beasts, how did they suddenly disappear?" Meng Han's lackey, who had followed Cao Shi to this side, mumbled as he searched for Cao Shi.
"Lower your voice!" Cao Shi frowned.
This person's voice was obviously telling others that they were here, so how could he be happy?
Hearing this, the lackey quickly shut his mouth. This was a time where strength was respected. The other party was stronger than him, so he did not dare to say anything.
Lin Long could see the two of them coming in his direction, but he did not attack immediately. He wanted to find the most appropriate time to ensure that he would succeed in one strike.
If he did not succeed in one strike, it would be troublesome if the two people on the other side surrounded him.
However, what made him depressed was that after searching for a while, the two people only stayed around him and did not come to his place.
Lin Long planned to wait for them to come to his side and then launch a sneak attack. This would have a much higher chance of success than sneaking over by himself.
If this dragged on, it would be bad if the two people on the other side came over.
With this thought in mind, Lin Long immediately made a sound.
This sound immediately made Cao Shi and Meng Han turn their heads and look in his direction.
"Let's go over and take a look!" As he said this, Cao Shi immediately walked over to Lin Long.
Soon, Cao Shi arrived at Lin Long's place first. At this time, Lin Long was hiding behind a large tree.
Even though Cao Shi was in front of him, he did not notice him. Of course, this was because Lin Long could hide his aura. Otherwise, Cao Shi would have noticed him long ago.
This was a good opportunity. Moreover, the person behind him was still a little distance away from Cao Shi.
Lin Long immediately made his move. He directly flashed out and attacked Cao Shi with his sword. In an instant, a sword aura suddenly attacked Cao Shi's throat.
Cao Shi was shocked, and hurriedly swung his sword to block it. However, he was still a step too late, and Lin Long's sword directly pierced his throat.
"You..."
Cao Shi looked at Lin Long in disbelief, but there was nothing he could do. In the next moment, he directly clutched his throat and fell to the ground, dead.
"Lin Li, you..."
Seeing that Lin Long suddenly appeared and killed Cao Shi with a sword, the other person was naturally extremely shocked.
As for Lin Long, he directly rushed towards him with his sword.
As soon as he saw Lin Long coming over, the person turned around and ran. He had already seen that Lin Long could activate the stone sword, so how could he still think of fighting Lin Long head-on?
However, how could he outrun Lin Long? In just two leaps and bounds, Lin Long, who had used Woodgrain Steps, was already in front of him and then stabbed at him.
How could this person be a match for Lin Long?
After one move, he was directly knocked to the ground by Lin Long.
Just like that, the two of them died in Lin Long's hands in a short period of time.
