Chapter 71: A Strong Villain That's Overlooked the Most

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Lin Fan couldn't believe what he just experienced.

How can I, a man that's going to stand on top of the world, be humiliated in such a manner? How am I supposed to face the world from now on?

He recalled the string of events that had taken place in detail, and Lin Fan's gut feeling told him that it was all planned.

He left the sect and was killed. After that, he profited from some corpses and was hunted down. However, he came across a huge pile of feces and hid in it, but then ended up in a beast along with the pile of feces. Shortly, the beast he was in came across a stronger beast, which killed and ate him. Currently, this beast was trying to excrete him.

Now, now. What do these people take me as?

"No, no!" Lin Fan grabbed onto the flesh tightly. I'm not going to let go despite the suction force! If I do, my life is ruined!

I will never let go, for my pride!

Soaring high up in the air, the eagle felt a sharp pain in its abdomen. It felt as if a part of its flesh was about to come off. Soon, a loud cry could be heard as the eagle mustered its energy.

With all its strength, the eagle exerted this energy.

At the same time, Lin Fan had an ominous feeling about what was happening. When he realized that the piece of flesh was falling off, his face fell as he shook his head in disbelief. "No…! Ahhhh…!"

The world was spinning.

And Lin Fan was sucked out of the eagle.

"Damn it, you shall wait and see! I'll never forgive you!" After being sucked out of the weird-looking "hole," Lin Fan burst into anger.

The eagle let out a call of comfort and turned back to take a glance at its huge pile of feces, puzzled. It seemed to have heard something.

But the eagle did not dwell on it. It spread its wings and flew up to the air, feeling at ease.

As for Lin Fan, he was most certainly not feeling at ease. He only managed to free himself from the pile of feces after some time.

Taking a glance down, Lin Fan gulped in fear.

"If I drop down from this height, I might die in a bad way." I have been coming across unlucky events ever since I stepped out of the sect.

I have been dying in weird ways ever since then.

Whoosh!

Lin Fan jumped down as the strong wind blew against him, making his clothes rustle and blowing away the dirt on him.

"Haish…" Lin Fan sighed. He hugged his arms and closed his eyes shut, ready to take a nap. Whatever, I'm tired of asking. I'm going to die anyway, so why not enjoy the feeling of sleeping in the air before I pass away?

Fengshan Camp:

Jiang Gu walked out of the secret chamber that he spent his days in during seclusion. He had finally succeeded in cultivating his venomous parasites. Just one more step and I'll become an Earth Star Border Realm cultivator! By then, I will be able to act freely in this world!

"Let me give my babies a try to see how they work!" Jiang Gu mumbled to himself and opened up his palm. Suddenly, movements could be seen on the surface of the palm, as if there were something wiggling inside of the palm.

Szz!

A crack formed on the surface of his palm, and venomous parasites could be seen wiggling out of his palm one by one.

The venomous parasites might've been tiny, but they weren't to be underestimated. The venomous parasites were exceptionally toxic to the point that all plants that came into contact with them withered immediately.

"Haha…" Jiang Gu burst out into laughter. He had finally succeeded in his evil practice! Even though it was not yet a big success, but with this ability, he would be able to act without constraint, and there would be nobody with the ability to stop him!

"Come out! Come out, my babies!" Jiang Gu ripped his clothes off, standing naked in the open.

Gulu!

Gulu!

Numerous bumps surfaced on his body. Slowly, the bumps enlarged and cracked. Numerous venomous parasites gushed out of Jiang Gu's body, burying him within no time.

For this piece of evil cultivation, Jiang Gu had gone through uncountable hardships and torture, just to complete the first step of this cultivation, which was to house the parasites within his body.

Step one: foster the parasites in the cultivator's body, and make them a part of their body. The aim was to make the venom and his body unite as one.

Excitement was written all over Jiang Gu's face when he saw the venomous parasites wiggling on the ground. To him, all of them were his precious children. "Babies, you must be hungry, right? Let me get you some food."

Thus, he left the Fengshan Camp.

Not long later, Jiang Gu came back, but now, he was carrying a lady on his shoulders. From her clothing, she was no doubt from an ordinary family that was living at the foot of the mountain.

She was currently unconscious and unaware of her surroundings.

Jiang Gu threw the lady on the ground. He stared at her silently with a lascivious and sinister look while waiting for her to wake up.

And indeed, the farm girl woke up very soon. Her eyes widened in fear, and she started to panic when she saw the scene in front of her.

"Great, fresh food. My babies will love it." Jiang Gu eyed the girl greedily. He licked his lips, looking like he was prepared to swallow the girl down in one gulp.

"Who are you? What do you want?" The farm girl was currently as pale as a sheet of paper. Fear could be seen swimming in her eyes as she registered the fact that she had been kidnapped.

She had heard from the villagers that an evil person who fed on human blood had come to the mountains.

Initially, she thought that it was just a rumor, but now, she knew that the rumor was true.

"Hehe!"

"My babies are so excited, they can't wait anymore! C'mere and let me love you." Jiang Gu took off his clothes and went toward the farm girl naked.

Seeing Jiang Gu take off his clothes all of a sudden, the farm girl could not believe her eyes.

Especially the long thing that was below, which stupefied her.

Many red worms could be seen fighting to wiggle out of the small hole, causing bumps with sharp teeth to be seen on the side. Not only that, the sharp teeth could be seen moving as well.

"No…" the farm girl was so badly shocked that she lost control of her limbs. She sat on the ground, moving back slowly.

"Stay still. Very soon, my babies will enter your body. They will suck up all your blood and eat you up. We will then be one forever…." Jiang Gu burst out in evil laughter.

Whoosh!

All of a sudden, a loud noise could be heard. Jiang Gu looked around, but there was nobody to be seen. He took a glance up at the sky, and his eyes widened in fear.

A figure could be seen getting closer to him at the speed of lightning.

Boom!

The ground cracked instantly. A deep pit could be seen in the middle of the ground as cracks spread out like a spiderweb.

The farm girl was dumbfounded. All she currently saw was blood.

"Ah!"

She covered her eyes and let out a scream in fear before standing up to dash away from the scene.

Report chapter

Chapter 72: I'm Astounded

It was a quiet and peaceful day at Fengshan Camp.

After going through unbearable suffering, evil cultivator Jiang Gu's hard work finally paid off. During the moment of success, he stepped out of his secret chamber, ready to start roaming the world.

His success was short-lived, but it was the brightest Jiang Gu had ever shined in his life.

Blood filled the deep pit, and there were fragments of remains scattered all over the place. It was a horrible and terrifying sight.

A head could be seen in the deep pit, floating in the pool of blood. The victim's eyes were opened wide, permanently showing the fear that he experienced right before his death.

And maybe, Jiang Gu would never know the reason for his death.

Because of Jiang Gu's death, the venomous parasites lost their lives too.

Ten seconds later, revive.

"Aish, what the hell happened? Why did I receive points? Did I bump into somebody?" Lin Fan scuttered up and shook his head. He was full of energy now, but still at a loss about what was going on.

"Eh? Why is there a head here?" Lin Fan's face fell when he saw Jiang Gu's head floating in the pit. "Damn! Did I drag an innocent down the waters?"

Lin Fan was unable to accept the facts.

I am a man that's going to reach the top of the world, how could I kill any innocents?

"Haish…"

But what can I do? He's already dead.

"Where did these worms come from?" Lin Fan kicked the dead worms under his feet away, revealing a sect badge.

"Gu?"

The sect badge was made out of metal, and a "Gu" character was carved on it. What's this? The word seems familiar too.

Lin Fan took a look around his surrounding but was unable to recognize the place he was currently at. However, when he saw the words carved on a stone some distance away, he was dumbfounded.

"Fengshan Camp?"

Lin Fan couldn't believe his eyes. This is extremely far from where I was killed by the sword!

"Wait a minute…."

Suddenly, an important matter crossed Lin Fan's mind. He immediately took out the mission card from his storage ring.

Evil cultivator Jiang Gu, Body Tempering Stage Nine….

Lin Fan turned to the bloody corpse lying on the ground and mumbled to himself.

"Don't tell me that he's Jiang Gu…."

Lin Fan blinked his eyes, shocked. So I accidentally smashed the target dead and completed the mission?

At last, after many confirmations, Lin Fan knew that the guy he just killed was Jiang Gu, the evil cultivator that he needed to take down.

"That beast, I… haish." Lin Fan did not know what to feel. He remembered the beast in his heart, as he was planning to take revenge when he had the ability to.

However, not only did the beast bring him to his destination, but it supported him to get the kill!

So what should I do when I come across that eagle in the future?

Should I kill it or not do anything about it?

Such a complicated question. Nevermind, let's not think about it now, I'm glad I finished the mission easily.

Lin Fan chuckled. He had completed the mission without even doing anything.

He kept the sect badge to bring back as a piece of evidence to show that he completed the mission.

Lin Fan searched around the place. It's such a regret that he's so poor that all he can give me is points and nothing else.

…

After a few days, Yuan Tianjun and his group finally arrived at Fengshan Camp. They had picked up a mission to take down a wanted person at Ancient River Village that was located at Fengshan Camp.

The wanted person was part of a cult situated in the Magnificent Flame Sect's territory. He was currently hiding in Ancient River Village and had disguised himself as an ordinary villager while planning to overthrow the Magnificent Flame Sect in secret.

"Senior Brother, what should we do now?" a disciple asked.

"We should stay calm and set up an ambush outside Ancient River Village. If the target shows up, we will take action," Yuan Tianjun replied.

"Senior Brother, we wanted to get that guy here to be our cannon fodder. Without any cannon fodder, our plan will be affected."

Yes. Lin Fan was the cannon fodder they were talking about.

When they were back at the sect, they were searching for someone to be cannon fodder for their group when they met Lin Fan. However, they never thought that Lin Fan would immediately reject them, not even bothering to give them face! This made the group unhappy with Lin Fan.

Yuan Tianjun waved his hands. "Nevermind, we will do as planned. Look out for that guy too. We should be in front of him with our speed, but do not beat the grass and scare the snake if you happen to come across him."

"Yes, Senior Brother."

…

Ancient River Village:

On his way back, Lin Fan took the time to check the items he had gotten from the two old men.

He was curious as well as excited to find out what was in the storage rings.

The two elderly men looked rich, they should have a lot of treasure with them.

Lin Fan walked on the trail with smiles all over his face. "Grandpas, be at ease. I, Lin Fan, swear that, if there's any treasures in the rings, I will kill Jun Wuwu when I come across him in the future."

He held up the first ring.

His heart beat rapidly when he opened up the first ring, but his smile was gone as soon as he saw the contents.

"Huh?" Lin Fan could not understand what he was seeing. It's empty? Why?

Nuggets!

Lin Fan could not believe his eyes. He had never seen such a clean storage ring that had absolutely nothing in it! What should I think about this?

I don't care what others think, but I don't like it.

"What on earth!? Why is there nothing here? You have ruined our friendship!" He really did not wish to say anything more.

Where's the trust between humans?

I have put in so much effort to fumble through your corpse, and yet all I get is a shell? I've been wronged!

He then opened up the other storage ring.

Lin Fan no longer had any hope for the second storage ring, as the previous one already brought such a huge setback to him.

He stole a glance at the other storage ring's contents.

Lin Fan was unable to calm down.

"Chicken nuggets, this is too much…!" He was extremely angry this time around, as he felt that he had been cheated. But right at this moment, he saw a book in the corner of the storage ring.

A smile crept up his face once again, replacing the disappointed expression.

"Luckily, it's better than nothing." He took the book impatiently.

When he saw the name of the book, he was taken aback.

Transformation into God Swordsmanship.

"Fifty thousand points to learn the Transformation into God Swordsmanship."

"Yes, learn."

"Insufficient points."

Lin Fan was thrown off his feet. All he felt was happiness now.

Fifty thousand points to learn a skill? What kind of skillset is this that it requires such a huge amount of points?

This…

…is astonishing.

Chapter 73: They Are Very Cordial

Fifty thousand points to learn a single skillset was an enormous figure to Lin Fan.

I will need to give it my all and earn more points now.

This journey might've started off rocky, but it ended off nicely, though.

Never would I have thought that I would finish the mission and gain a strong skillset so easily! Even though an enormous amount of points is needed for me to learn it, I am sure it will be achievable with my hard work.

On the trail:

"Aunty, where am I?" Lin Fan stopped at the roadside and called out to a middle-aged lady who was busy farming in the field.

She turned to Lin Fan, slightly taken aback. "You came from the mountain?"

"Yeah." Lin Fan nodded. "Why? I came from somewhere far away, thus I have to pass the mountains."

Looking at the lady's expression, Lin Fan understood the reason for her question. She must be afraid of the evil cultivator that lived on the mountains.

It's such a pity for him that I accidentally murdered him.

"Didn't you come across anyone?" the lady asked, puzzled.

"No. I'm alone." Lin Fan shook his head. "Aunty, you have yet to tell me where this place is."

"Ancient River Village…." the lady answered, suspicion written all over her face.

Lin Fan waved and walked off. So, this is Ancient River Village, huh? I was prepared to return as soon as I completed my mission, but I guess that I'll have to change my plans.

I won't be able to feel at ease if I do not gain enough points to pick up that skillset that I just got!

Watching Lin Fan leave, fear and confusion drained from the lady's face slowly, replaced with stillness as she got into a train of thought.

Not long later, Lin Fan saw a row of houses. This was none other than Ancient River Village. It was not huge, and it only had about a hundred houses at most. There were also no youths to be seen in the village, and most villagers were of an old age.

He glanced around the place. There's something a little amiss here.

"Lord, are you from the Magnificent Flame Sect?" Just when Lin Fan was looking around, a benevolent-looking old man came up to him.

He held a walking stick in his hands, giving off an aura that made one feel at ease.

"Yeah, you are…?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

"This old man is Bai Shi, the chief of Ancient River Village. Lord has come from a faraway place to our village, so please take a seat in my house."

In the house:

"Why are there no youngsters in the village?" Lin Fan asked in curiosity.

"Lord, our youngsters have left the village, leaving only us, the old and the children," Bai Shi replied. "We rarely receive visitors, and you're the first in such a long time."

"Oh yeah, do you know who's residing in Fengshan Camp?" Lin Fan asked.

Bai Shi smiled and shook his head. "Lord, it's deserted. It used to be home to burglars, but the Magnificent Flame Sect has sent their disciples over to save our lives."

With that, Bai Shi stood up. "My Lord, please hold on. I'll prepare a feast for you."

"No need to trouble yourself." Lin Fan waved his hands. As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, how could I mooch off others?

"It's fine. Lord, please give me a moment." Bai Shi stood at the door and flashed Lin Fan a smile before leaving the house.

…

Not far away from Ancient River Village, someone had been observing the village for some time. He left immediately when he saw Lin Fan.

Near the surroundings of Fengshan Camp:

"Senior Brother Yuan, that Lin guy is here at Ancient River Village. I think he came from Fengshan Camp. It seems like he has completed his mission."

Yuan Tianjun was taken aback. He was unable to believe what he just heard. "How can that be? We aren't slow at all! How could he have arrived before us? Nevermind, you said that he's now in the village?"

"Yeah. The Ancient River Village chief has invited him into his house.

"According to my research, it's a weird village. Different from what the sect had gotten from their investigation, there aren't any youths in the village. There are only the old, young, and weak. The chief, Bai Shi, seems the oddest of them all."

Yuan Tianjun nodded. His junior brother had given a good analysis. "Okay, take a close look. Let's see what happens to that Lin guy."

"Yes."

…

Back in Ancient River Village:

"A Magnificent Flame Sect disciple has come. What shall we do?"

"Should we kill him?"

"I don't think there's a need. This guy looks stupid. I guess that he has just completed his mission at Fengshan Camp. That Jiang Gu is an idiot. How did he even manage to get killed?"

"Prepare something for him. I'll send him out after the meal. Let's not alert him."

…

Lin Fan sat in the house, patiently waiting for the food. This village feels dead. And it feels… a bit weird. I do not know how to put it into words.

Just as this was going through Lin Fan's mind, Bai Shi held a plate and walked into the house.

Looking at the delicacies on the table, Lin Fan's heart raced in excitement. He had not eaten since he stepped out on this journey!

The villagers here are nice. I like them.

"Aiya, there's no need for this." Lin Fan was overwhelmed with happiness. He took the pair of chopsticks immediately and downed the food.

When Lin Fan was enjoying his meal, Chief Bai Shi sat at the table. Every time Lin Fan looked down, a creepy smile could be seen on the chief's face. But when Lin Fan looked back up, the chief would look like the benevolent elder he was playing.

After a delicious meal, Lin Fan took a few notes out from his storage ring as payment for the meal.

"Thank you for the meal, I'll stay no longer." All that was in Lin Fan's mind currently was to find more beasts!

I need to earn points.

Bai Shi stood up. "Lord, aren't you going to stay longer?"

Lin Fan waved his hand. "No. I have something on. It's a tiring journey."

There was nobody to be seen at the entrance of the village.

Bai Shi kept following after Lin Fan.

"Chief, it's alright. You can go back now." Lin Fan waved his hands.

"It's alright. I should send you off. Please, Lord." Bai Shi smiled thinly and followed behind Lin Fan. As Lin Fan was walking in front, the chief stared at Lin Fan's head, deep in thought.

Chills ran down Lin Fan's spine. Bai Shi's gaze made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Lord, this old man shall send you up to here." Just then, Bai Shi's voice could be heard.

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. How scary. How much longer would he have stared at me if he kept following?

"Alright. Thank you, Chief. Goodbye," Lin Fan said and went off.

Crack!

Watching the figure shrink into the distance, Bai Shi cracked his neck and mumbled.

"So I was just overthinking."

Report chapter

Chapter 74: Tricked

The humane side of the world had warmed Lin Fan's heart.

Especially the villagers! They are so generous, kind, and friendly! Moreover, they respect me.

"If not for my big ambitions, I would've liked to further strengthen our relationship. There must be a lot of tasks that the villagers aren't able to carry out due to the lack of youths in the village."

This was the moment where Lin Fan felt that he was indeed a person with a kind heart. If I was an unkind person, I would not have come across such people with such kind intentions.

…

"Senior Brother Yuan, Bai Shi has sent that Lin guy off. I realized that, when both of them were making their way out, Bai Shi had the intention to kill him, but I have no idea why he decided to spare him in the end."

"He's just lucky." Yuan Tianjun sneered. "Bai Shi should be afraid of the consequence of killing a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple too. Since we have already confirmed his identity, then we should take action soon."

"Senior Brother, should we carry out a surprise attack or should we take him down justly and honorably in front of the village?"

"Of course, the second option," Yuan Tianjun wore a smile and answered without hesitation. "The commoners can sing us praises too."

The group let out a smile hearing Yuan Tianjun. "Good idea, Senior Brother."

Cultivation might've been important to the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, but reputation was similarly important too.

The group picked up their speed and went to hide in the village, getting ready to attack.

After observing the village closely, the group came to the conclusion that Bai Shi would be their target and the other villages were harmless.

However, Bai Shi should've been praised for his intelligence for coming up with the idea to hide among the commoners.

Near the entrance of the village, a child with a braided hairstyle could be seen running around the area barefooted with a pellet drum in her hands. There was a wide smile plastered on her face.

Bang!

She fell onto the floor with a thud after bumping into something on accident. "Who are you?" She looked up at the strangers standing in front of her with her shiny doe eyes.

"Little girl, where are the adults?" Yuan Tianjun asked, staring at her in disdain.

"Senior Brother, do we need to give this girl a check?" his junior brother on the side whispered.

"There's no need to," Yuan Tianjun answered. "It's just a little girl, what matter would there be with her?"

Very soon, Huang Hou, who was observing Bai Shi, came over. "Senior Brother, he's almost here."

"Great." Yuan Tianjun nodded. "Go and get everyone out here!" he said sternly.

Slightly frightened, the little girl took a glance at the group before running off into the village with her pellet drum.

"We have visitors!"

"We have visitors!"

The little girl shouted to every household as she ran around the village happily.

In the kitchen of an ordinary house, a hunchbacked elderly woman could be seen scooping water into a pot. "Old man, make some fire to boil the water. There will be pigs for us to kill soon," she said calmly in her low voice.

The elderly man nodded. He picked up a bunch of firewood with his skinny hands and smiled at the woman widely. "Okay. Go take a look at the pigs, make sure they don't escape."

"Be at ease. With the chief around, there's nowhere they can go."

…

"Senior Brother, this village seems odd. There isn't even a single healthy man to be seen. Did they all leave?"

Yuan Tianjun was currently standing at the village entrance. "That is normal," he said, looking forward. "This is not a place for them to grow, they all should have already left for the outside world, leaving only the old, young, and weak behind. That's why the cult was able to seep into the village."

"Senior Brother, he's here."

The group could see Bai Shi walking toward them slowly with his walking stick. He was staring at Yuan Tianjun initially, but when they made eye contact, Bai Shi looked back down to the ground once again.

"My Lords, how may I help you?" Bai Shi asked calmly. However, unlike how he spoke to Lin Fan, he spoke to the group with a different tone, making him sound like he was teasing the group.

Huang Hou took a step forward. "Bai Shi, cut the act. Do you think we do not know who you are? It must be tough to hide in the village alone, right?"

"It's such a pity that you found me." Bai Shi flashed the group a wide smile. "I don't find it tough, though. Being the chief of this village is not a tough job. Am I right, my Lords?"

At the same time, villagers started heading out of their houses to the entrance. There were only about thirty of them.

Yuan Tianjun frowned seeing the number of people. "Where are the other villagers?"

"My Lord, they are still sleeping. What's the matter with our chief?" the hunchbacked elderly woman spoke up.

However, in every house, horribly disfigured corpses could be seen lying in pools of blood.

But Yuan Tianjun did not suspect her words. Whatever, the numbers are fine, Yuan Tianjun thought and turned to the crowd. "The chief of your village is part of a cult! He's amongst all of you in disguise! We are here to represent the sect to take him down and to free the village."

Bai Shi stood at his spot calmly, looking at the group with mockery swimming in his eyes. However, Yuan Tianjun and his junior brothers did not notice his expression.

To them, Bai Shi was like a turtle in their jar.

They were currently making a speech to the villagers just to make a point: Yuan Tianjun and his group have saved your lives.

"Haish, it's such a pity…." Bai Shi shook his head with regrets.

"It's indeed a pity for your outstanding act. Luckily, the sect has discovered your plans in time, or else the villagers would've died at your hands after you made use of them! But be at ease, you won't get the chance to carry out your evil plans anymore!" Yuan Tianjun said.

"Da Gege, can someone still be able to walk if they lose a leg?" Just then, the little girl came to Huang Hou and plopped down on the ground. She hugged his leg tightly and asked. (TL Note: Da Gege means elder brother in Chinese, mostly used by children.)

"Of course not," Huang Hou answered.

"Oh." The little girl nodded obediently and patted Huang Hou's leg with her small hands.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a ray of light was seen flashing by.

Feeling weird, Huang Hou looked down to realize that his left calf was disjointed. Within a split second, his blood-curdling scream could be heard clearly.

"My leg! My leg…!" Huang Hou sat on the ground, dumbfounded, while holding his injured calf. Blood could be seen gushing out everywhere, dying the ground red.

Yuan Tianjun jumped up in shock upon seeing this. He launched an attack at the little girl without hesitation.

However, the harmless little girl dodged the attack in peace.

"All of you…" Stupefied, Yuan Tianjun stared at Bai Shi. He then took a look at the harmless-looking villagers in disbelief.

"Like I said, it's not a tough job being the chief of this village, because I'm surrounded with comrades!" Bai Shi smiled widely, making his skin burst open. "It's all your fault," he said while pressing down onto the skin. "You have ruined my clothes."

"You…" the sect group's hearts sank.

This wasn't like what they had expected.

The next minute, a terrifying scene unfolded in front of the group.

"Grandpa Chief, I can't take it anymore! This piece of clothing is too small for me. It doesn't fit me well." The girl placed her hand on her scalp and pulled it down hard along with her hair, revealing a curled-up man.

Crack!

The man cracked his bones and twisted his body before standing up slowly. He stared at the group with an evil smile. "This feels better. That skin is too small for me!"

"Evil cultivation! This evil cultivation…! All of you are part of the cult!" a disciple shouted in fear upon witnessing the scene.

Chapter 75: Speak Up and Don't Betray Me

"Bingo! But it's such a pity that you only realized it now." The man who was previously hiding in the little girl's skin laughed slyly. "Da Gege, can a human survive without their head?" the man asked, imitating the voice of the child.

Yuan Tianjun and the group gulped. They had an ominous feeling about this; their opponents were not just ordinary evil cultivators, but ones that had picked up a bizarre skillset.

It was also the reason why the man was able to disguise himself as a little girl. With evil cultivation, he was able to murder the little girl and hide in her skin and take over her identity.

Yuan Tianjun was currently an Earth Star Border Stage Two. It was not a problem for him to take down Bai Shi if he worked with his junior brothers. However, they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers now. Escaping was the only way for them to keep their lives.

"Okay, there's no need for us to hide our identities anymore." The hunchbacked elderly woman stood up. "Let's kill them and leave this place." She pulled the skin of the elderly woman off herself, revealing a terrifying and wicked-looking face.

"This feels more comfortable! If we did not look so ugly, why would we need these skins?" she said and pointed at Yuan Tianjun. "I want his skin. I might even be able to sneak into the Magnificent Flame Sect and pretend to be their disciple."

"I'm afraid you wouldn't survive more than a day if you did that."

…

Hearing their conversations, Yuan Tianjun and the group's faces turned as white as a piece of paper.

"Let's go…."

At this moment, Yuan Tianjun took off without any hesitation. He could care no more. To him, as long as he survived, any action he took was worth it.

He dared not imagine the consequences he would face if he were to land in their hands.

Would they tear off my skin?

The thought of it sent Yuan Tianjun shuddering.

"Hoping to get away, huh? But can you?" The evil cultivators who were in disguise sneered and came for Yuan Tianjun and the group,

Bai Shi watched the scene unfold silently and calmly. To him, the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples standing in front of him were as good as dead.

"Senior Brother, bring me with you!" Huang Hou, who was currently lying on the ground, screamed, tears of despair rolling down his cheeks.

However, Yuan Tianjun did not even take a glance at Huang Hou. He continued to dash forward with all his power, abandoning Huang Hou.

"Da Gege, let's play!" The man who had disguised as the little girl smiled at Huang Hou widely. But in Huang Hou eyes, it was the most terrifying smile he had ever seen in his life.

"No…! Ahhh!"

His blood-curdling screams filled the air.

It passed to Yuan Tianjun's ears, making his heart race as if it was going to pound out of his chest.

Yuan Tianjun was more than terrified. He did not even have the courage to fight his opponents.

Even if he knew that he would be able to defeat some of the evil cultivators if he put in all his effort, the possible consequences held him back from doing so.

Whoosh!

A few figures could be seen sprinting on the road.

Just a glance at the evil cultivators that were chasing after them was enough to leave Yuan Tianjun panic-stricken. From how the evil cultivators were staring at him, Yuan Tianjun could not imagine how badly he would die if he ended up in their hands.

But will I be able to escape just by sprinting?

"Senior Brother, what shall we do?" Huang Feilong was at the end of his wits. With his speed, he could barely keep up with Yuan Tianjin, but for his life, he ran as fast as he could.

"Let's fight them! It's not wise to continue running. We won't be able to run away from them," Chen Hu spoke up.

But Yuan Tianjun did not respond. He did not wish to make any comments. He was currently dying to return to the sect and report on the current situation.

All of a sudden, Yuan Tianjun felt danger right behind him. He pulled over his junior brother at the side without even turning back. The junior brother was taken by surprise at his actions.

Pss!

"Senior Brother, you…" Huang Feilong felt a stinging sensation in his back. He realized that a metal chain had pierced through his chest, and blood was dripping down furiously when he took a look at it.

Chen Hu never would have expected that his Senior Brother Yuan would treat his junior brothers as human shields.

"I have no choice. There's nothing else we can do," Yuan Tianjun said. "Hurry up, we will be able to survive like this."

Chen Hu's heart hurt so badly that it felt like it was being stabbed a number of times. He could not believe that the senior brother that he looked up to the most would use them as human shields! He gritted his teeth and glared at Yuan Tianjun.

"Senior brother…"

"What?"

"You're utterly disappointing!" Chen Hu looked at him with disappointment and came to a stop abruptly. He turned to his enemies who were coming at him and yelled, "I'm going to fight you!"

Within no time, Yuan Tianjun heard Chen Hu's blood-curdling scream.

This took Yuan Tianjun aback. When he realized what was going on, he cursed. "Stupid trash. Good that you're dead though, at least you can buy me some time."

Suddenly, Yuan Tianjun heard a voice next to him.

"Indeed the disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect. It seems like a good method to betray your friends." He didn't know when Bai Shi had caught up with him, but there was still a distance between the both of them.

Yuan Tianjun said nothing in reply. To him, all he wanted was to survive. Nothing else mattered to him.

…

"Lalalala, I'm coming for you, points." Lin Fan strolled along the way. If I come across any beasts, I'll have a nice chat with them.

I'm curious about the Transformation into God Swordsmanship! I wonder what changes there will be after I pick the skill up. How much stronger will I get?

I'm so excited to learn it.

"Junior Brother, save me…!"

Suddenly, Lin Fan heard a cry for help coming from behind him. Lin Fan turned around with confusion to see a figure covered in blood coming toward him.

When Yuan Tianjun saw Lin Fan, it lit up the hope within him. Of course, he wasn't expecting Lin Fan to defeat the opponents.

Very soon, Yuan Tianjun came to Lin Fan's side. "Junior Brother Lin, save me."

"Eh, isn't this Senior Brother Yuan? What happened to you?" Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, but he still managed to make out that the guy in such a sorry figure was Yuan Tianjun.

This was the guy that invited him to group up back at the sect. Lin Fan did not accept because he felt that Yuan Tianjun was not a trustworthy person, and he wished to act on his own anyway.

He did not expect that they would come across each other.

He could see figures coming toward their direction from the distance, but Lin Fan did not take it to heart.

To him, if anything happened, either they would die or he would and then revive; there was no other option.

A figure appeared behind them very soon.

"Eh? Chief Bai Shi, what's going on?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

Seeing Lin Fan, Bai Shi put on the warm smile that he used to speak to Lin Fan previously. "So I was overthinking. But it's still your death day today…."

Lin Fan was utterly confused. What is he talking about?

In despair, Yuan Tianjun hid behind Lin Fan. "Junior Brother, save me, please, I can't die here…!"

All of a sudden, Yuan Tianjun pushed Lin Fan hard toward Bai Shi and ran off in the opposite direction.

When Lin Fan realized what was going on, he burst out in anger.

He took out the mace from his storage ring immediately and smashed it at Yuan Tianjun.

"What the hell!? We can speak nicely if you have any problems! Why did you have to f* betray me? Unforgivable!"

Chapter 76: Let's See Who's More Terrifying

The incidents before meeting Lin Fan took place like moving clouds and flowing water, as if Yuan Tianjun had already mastered the skills of betraying his friends.

All Yuan Tianjun could do was run away, but a glimmer of hope arose when he saw Lin Fan in front. If he can take an attack for me, I will be able to escape this place!

Thus, he pushed Lin Fan to Bai Shi when Lin Fan wasn't paying attention, hoping that Lin Fan would take down the disaster for him.

Suddenly though, he felt a cold breeze blowing up at him, making chills run down his spine.

Yuan Tianjun looked back to see something coming down at him. The relief on his face was soon gone and replaced with fear.

"No…!"

Bang!

With a loud bang, Yuan Tianjun was smashed into the ground, making the ground sink in.

"I knew you were a good-for-nothing. I waited a long time for you to act up," Lin Fan said angrily. He picked up the mace and started to fling it hard, making the bloodstains on it splatter all across the ground.

Points 300

Well, it's not a bad thing. I only earned 200 points when I killed that Liu Feng, who was an Earth Star Border Stage One. This proves that it's not an easy task to earn points. There isn't much of a change to the points even if Yuan Tianjun is an Earth Star Border Stage Two.

Silence took over the area.

Lin Fan squatted down and fumbled around Yuan Tianjun's body. There were only two bottles of pills to be found. "Such a poor thing. I thought you were rich!"

This is an utter disappointment.

Just then, it crossed his mind that there were others who had come too. Communication time!

Lin Fan turned around, making cracking sounds with his neck and flashing Bai Shi a wide smile. "Chief, what are you doing?"

Bai Shi frowned, puzzled at Lin Fan's action, but the frown did not stay long. Soon, Bai Shi burst out laughing. "Impressive. This is indeed impressive. All Magnificent Flame Sect disciples sure are cold-blooded."

"Haha, you're being too polite. I only dislike it when others betray me." Lin Fan waved his hands humbly. "Oh, Chief, your village is indeed full of pests and ghosts who are good at hiding, huh? You're so good that I couldn't tell when I was there."

Bai Shi stood at his spot, supporting himself with the walking stick while wearing a sly smile on his face. "It's such a pity. I was not planning to kill you, but it seems like I was just overcomplicating things. Now, I am ready to murder you and watch fresh blood drip from your body drop by drop…."

"Hehe, I like his skin so much! I want it!" a nasty-looking man said while staring at Lin Fan with a perverted look – one that seemed like he was dying to get Lin Fan in his hands. He was also holding onto a child's skin.

Lin Fan furrowed his eyebrows. He was unhappy not because of the nasty man but the skin he was holding.

"The thing in your hands…?" Lin Fan asked calmly, despite the burning fire in him.

"This?" The nasty man held the skin up and felt it with his face, enjoying the feeling of the skin. "I love this skin! That girl was so cute. I liked it so much! I made her bleed drop by drop, slowly to her death. I was so excited and happy to see her eyes enlarging out of fear. Oh, and I can't forget her tears….

"They were so sweet!" The nasty man let out a burst of crazy laughter as if he was reminiscing about the incident.

"B*!" Lin Fan lost his temper. How could you treat a cute little girl in such a cruel way instead of loving her!? This is infuriating.

I wanted to play along with them, but I don't think there's a need now.

You deserve death for torturing the cute little girl to her death.

Your lives aren't enough to pay for your mistake.

"Hehe, Chief, I will go first. His skin is mine!" The nasty man threw the girl's skin to the side.

His hands turned black slowly. Not only that, his sharp fingernails also grew longer too. It was a scene that would make chills run down one's spine.

"You're mine! I'll make a hole in your throat and dye the sky red with your blood!

"Bloody Claw of the Mysterious Ghost!"

Whoosh!

The next second, the nasty man was next to Lin Fan, ready to take his life.

"Hehe, relax. It will end soon," his sharp and strange voice rang in Lin Fan's ear.

At the same time, Bai Shi's face fell slightly. He could feel Lin Fan's aura slowly getting weirder.

"Ci Gui, step back."

However, to Ci Gui, Lin Fan was already his, and there was nobody who could take his prey away.

Within the blink of an eye, Ci Gui was now standing on Lin Fan's left, sticking out his red tongue, looking like he was hungry for Lin Fan's body. He reached out his pitch-black claws, aiming at Lin Fan's throat.

However, Lin Fan remained in his position. He did not even take a glance at Ci Gui as he raised his hands, waving his mace toward him.

Boom!

"You're incredibly disgusting. I do not wish to waste any more oxygen on you. I don't want you to even be alive for a single second longer."

The next second, Lin Fan pinned Ci Gui down to the ground with his mace.

Pss!

Ci Gui shuddered as blood gushed out of him. "It's not even painful. This is so exciting," he said hoarsely.

Lin Fan picked up the mace and smashed it down onto Ci Gui's limbs hard, turning them into mincemeat and painting the ground red with his blood.

Blood-curdling screams rang across the place once again.

Lin Fan picked up the mace and tapped Ci Gui's head with it.

"Tell me, is this still exciting?"

"Exciting…" Ci Gui laughed evilly, but fear could be seen swimming in his eyes.

Bang!

With a smash, Ci Gui was turned into mincemeat.

Points 90

Only 90?

Lin Fan looked at his remains in disdain. "Trash at Body Tempering Stage Nine, and yet you still dare show yourself…?"

He opened his eyes and flung the bloodstains off the mace once again. "It seems like you all think you're quite disgusting, huh?

"It's just perfect then that I treat my enemies strictly. Let's see who's more terrifying, alright?"

There was no response from the evil cultivators.

To them, Lin Fan was unlike any ordinary Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, and Ci Gui's death had further confirmed their guess.

Silence took over.

Lin Fan look up and placed the mace on his shoulder. He took a step forward, staring at the evil cultivators angrily. "Tell me, how does that sound?"

Bai Shi did not say anything. He felt that this wasn't the same Lin Fan as the one he met previously.

An evil cultivator could not hold his anger and yelled, "Great!"

"Since it's great, here I come!" Lin Fan smiled widely.

"Cruel Blood."

In a split second, changes could be seen taking place on Lin Fan.

Report chapter

Chapter 77: Are You Guys Ready?

Two streams of blood and vital breath coiled up against Lin Fan's body like ferocious dragons.

Blood tattoos surfaced on Lin Fan's body.

Feeling the intense energy surging up within him, Lin Fan was in an excited state.

Cruel Blood was a skillset that was powerful but detrimental to oneself. However, to Lin Fan, it was a perfect skillset.

"This feels oddly strong; he's using up his energy." Bai Shi frowned. He felt that Lin Fan was not going to be an easy opponent, unlike the previous Magnificent Flame Sect disciples.

"Damn it. I can't take it anymore!" The evil cultivator who was hiding in the elderly man pulled off his skin in annoyance. He glared at Lin Fan with a murderous look. "Die!"

For some time, the evil cultivators had been hiding in human skins to avoid pursuit. However, they could not hold it in anymore, thus their skins started to burst open. It was an extremely disgusting scene to look at.

An evil cultivator appeared right next to Lin Fan. A strong sense of danger filled the area as he launched an attack at Lin Fan. It was obvious that the skills the evil cultivator put to use required him to kill in order to train, and from how dangerous his attack felt, it indicated the huge number of victims that had died at his hands.

"Do you think you're very good? Let me tell you, more than a thousand have died at my hands, and you'll be the next to die a terrible death…" the evil cultivator said proudly, trying to show off his achievement.

And Lin Fan responded to him with a swing of his mace. "I do not wish to know how many you have killed," he said, not even giving the evil cultivator a chance to finish his words. "Because you're a dead man."

Boom!

An increase in strength, speed, and energy.

No ordinary man could defeat Lin Fan who had gotten a boost in every aspect.

Within no time, blood and remains could be seen splattered all around the place. Lin Fan was unwilling to go easy on the evil cultivators, because to him, letting them die with their bodies intact was already an act of generosity.

"Damn it!"

The evil cultivators couldn't take it anymore. They moved together to launch an attack while Bai Shi stood at his spot, waiting for the chance to kill Lin Fan with one blow.

A sword light flashed past, going toward Lin Fan in a weird manner. The other evil cultivators crowded around Lin Fan, blocking his way.

"I'm going to disassemble you and make you feel as if you're in hell!"

The evil cultivators were angered. They came from all over the place, determined to kill Lin Fan.

"Just with you guys? You must be dreaming!" With a loud bang, the spot where Lin Fan was standing cracked instantly as a blood-colored shadow could be seen making its way into the crowd of evil cultivators.

"Explosion!"

Lin Fan placed all his energy onto the mace and flung it to the side like a wrecking ball. It landed on an evil cultivator, making his upper body break into numerous pieces. Instantly, blood gushed out of his body, and his organs burst open. Within no time, he was completely dead.

Pss!

Just when Lin Fan had killed about twenty evil cultivators, one of them who had been hiding amongst the crowd tried to stab Lin Fan with his sword at lightning speed. It moved so fast that the sword seemed to have drilled its way into Lin Fan.

"Haha, die!" The evil cultivator laughed crazily. He never expected Lin Fan to be this powerful and that many of his friends would die at Lin Fan's hands!

All of a sudden, his sword was stopped forcefully, as if it was stuck.

"What did you say?" Lin Fan's left hand was so fast that only its afterimage could be seen. When it came to a stop, Lin Fan had already caught the sword in his hands. The sword was sharp so it had cut Lin Fan's palm open, but Lin Fan felt none of it.

"You…" the evil cultivator said, badly shocked. He tried to pull out the sword with all his might, but Lin Fan still held onto the sword tightly as if he did not feel pain.

"You're playing around, huh? Remember this; do not play with your sword when you're with me, because there's no difference from playing your life away!" Lin Fan yelled and smashed the mace down at the evil cultivator, turning him into a pancake.

Lin Fan proceed to fling the blood off his hands and stared at the remaining evil cultivators and Bai Shi. "Chief, if you're going to continue spectating, there's a high chance that they will all die soon. How much longer are you going to spectate?"

Boom!

As soon as Lin Fan finished his words, he killed another evil cultivator.

Bai Shi gulped. He felt that Lin Fan was way more insane compared to them, and unimaginably cruel too.

The scene was now a sea of blood. Blood and remains were scattered all around the place. Not even a single set of intact corpses could be seen.

There was a figure covered in blood standing in the middle like a demon in a sea of blood. Every time he smashed his mace down, another person was turned into a pancake.

"How could he be this powerful?"

"An Earth Star Border Stage one should not be able to take more than two attacks."

Bai Shi was aware that there had been cultivators who were known as invincible Earth Star Border Stage Ones, but even they weren't at Lin Fan's level.

"Serpent Body."

All of a sudden, an evil cultivator's body became extremely flexible and started to twist and turn. Like a python, he coiled up against Lin Fan, binding all his limbs and stretching his neck so that his head was right beside Lin Fan's.

"Haha, I have bound him! Hurry and kill him!" the man screamed, looking like a mad man.

But what came next sent him into a panic attack.

Lin Fan leaned back and started banging the other party's head with his own!

Boom!

This made the other party dizzy as blood flowed out of his head, but he still did not let go of Lin Fan.

"Let me."

An evil cultivator came with a pike and pierced through Lin Fan back. However, Lin Fan did not even spare him a glance as he continued to bang his head against the snake-like cultivator.

"Is your head as hard as mine?" Lin Fan asked while headbutting him. The Golden Body Tempering Secret might not have been any high-class skillset, but it allowed Lin Fan to have a body that was stronger than any in this world!

Pss!

The pike was still pierced through Lin Fan's body, blood dripping out of the wound.

But there wasn't even a frown to be seen on Lin Fan's face as he continued banging on the snake cultivator's head.

Blood was currently all over the evil cultivator's face. With one last strike, he fell to the floor, dead. It could be said that he was killed by Lin Fan's head.

"How could this be?" The evil cultivator who was holding the pike watched the scene take place in utter shock. He tried to pull out the pike only to realize that it was impossible.

"Since you're here, then stay." Lin Fan grabbed the tip of the pike that was poking out of his body and pulled it forward hard. The evil cultivator felt that he had lost control of the pike, and he was pulled forward by a strong force.

He threw the pike down and turned around to face the evil cultivator.

When the evil cultivator realized what was going on, he wanted to retreat, but Lin Fan held his head.

"Tell me, who are you trying to scare? You can't aim properly even when I stand there and let you! Remember; aim for the brain or heart next time! Piercing through my flesh can do nothing to me!"

He picked the evil cultivator up and swung his mace, giving him a home run.

But the evil cultivator did not fly far; he exploded in the air instead.

All the remaining evil cultivators could not believe their eyes. How could he remain so calm even though he's so seriously injured?

Sighing, Lin Fan looked down at his chest to see blood flowing out of the wound profusely. Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind. He picked up the pike and broke it into pieces before stuffing them into his wound. Wow, I'm so smart.

"Okay, it's all settled. It's no longer bleeding. Now, we can continue. Tell me, are you guys ready?

"I've had enough fun, so it's time to end this now.

"But since you let me have a great time, I'll let you die in one piece."

Lin Fan took his mace and flashed the evil cultivators a wide smile. It was a good-looking smile, but it was terrifying to the evil cultivators.

Bai Shi's fingers trembled.

He had a feeling that the person in front of him was not human.

This is too much. This person is much more powerful than I expected.

Report chapter

Boom!

Even though Lin Fan's attack was not enough to make heaven fall and the earth rend, it was powerful enough to send blood and remains flying all over the place, causing it to be a tragic sight.

"Chief Bai Shi, it's hard for me to attack you if you're still in your skin, why don't you show yourself?" Lin Fan swung his mace, killing another evil cultivator before turning to Bai Shi.

Fear washed over the remaining evil cultivators, and most felt like giving up.

They even suspected that Lin Fan was not a human being!

He was seriously injured, yet he was able to remain as calm as if nothing had happened and smile at them. Which human being would be able to do so in this situation?

Since when did the Magnificent Flame Sect have such a sick disciple that lives to fight? He's extremely cruel too.

"You're way crueler than us." Bai Shi sneered, trying his best to hide his fear.

"Cruel? No, no. How is this cruel? I have no other choice, this is the only way I could possibly treat you guys!" Lin Fan said and pointed to a pile of mincemeat right behind him. "This b," he said angrily, "How can you kill such a cute little girl? Do you even know your mistakes? Your wrongdoings hurt my heart!"

Bang!

As soon as Lin Fan finished his words, he disappeared into thin air. He was in front of an ugly and skinny evil cultivator who had lost one of his eyes.

"You…!" The one-eyed cultivator was surprised. He was suppressed by Lin Fan, and this was the first time that he ever feared someone so badly.

No!

I'm an evil cultivator! How can I be scared of a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple?

The one-eyed evil cultivator gathered all his force and enlarged his arms. "Don't go overboard! We are evil cultivators, mind you!" he yelled.

Bang!

With a swing of the mace, he sunk into the ground and turned into mincemeat.

"So what if I go overboard?" Lin Fan said calmly and turned to his side. "Chief Bai Shi, are you really going to just wait for death? Please enjoy the show then, it will be your turn soon."

"Bai Shi!" the remaining evil cultivators shouted angrily. They had already started panicking. "When are you going to do something? We will soon all die if you don't make a move!"

Initially, Lin Fan was as good as dead to them, but they never would have thought that they would come across such a cruel person. The evil cultivators could not take it anymore.

"Stop shouting." Lin Fan sneered. "He's just dumbstruck."

"How dare you…!" Bai Shi was at his limit. I cannot let him continue on or we'll all be dead!

Lin Feng thought to himself, I have activated Cruel Blood entirely and there's a pike in my chest. Who can overtake me now?

"You're just in time. The truly terrifying part has yet to begin." Lin Fan growled, filled with the energy to fight. To him, the other evil cultivators were as good as nothing.

If I can't kill an Earth Star Border Stage One with a single smash, then I'll smash him twice.

There's even Body Tempering Realm trash among these evil cultivators.

"Son of a b*" Bai Shi took his walking stick and ran toward Lin Fan.

All Lin Fan hoped to do now was kill all the evil cultivators, who were nothing more than ants to him, before tackling Bai Shi.

Since he has been a spectator throughout this whole incident, he must be extraordinary.

I'm leaving the best for last to have a good fight with.

Numerous evil cultivators exploded when Lin Fan launched an attack. One must've been daydreaming if they thought of blocking energy that caused one to explode.

Blood and remains flew all over the place.

The evil cultivators at the side watched the scene unfold with their eyes wide. The bloody and cruel scene that they had just witnessed made their legs turn to jelly.

They swore that, if Lin Fan joined their cult, he would be the scariest being on the planet.

Pss!

Bai Shi attacked Lin Fan fiercely, slashing one of his arms off.

This put the remaining evil cultivators on cloud nine.

Disgusting fellow, it will be your death day today.

However, Lin Fan remained as calm as ever and launched a counterattack as soon as he turned back. Without hesitation, Bai Shi blocked his attack. Bai Shi never expected Lin Fan to have the strength to counterattack.

Boom!

He's powerful. How can he still exert such a huge amount of force after being so seriously injured? Bai Shi frowned.

Terrifying.

Lin Fan flashed Bai Shi a wide smile, revealing his pearly white teeth. The desire to fight could be seen in Lin Fan's eyes. "It doesn't even hurt. Bai Shi, are you that weak?"

Gulp!

This was the scariest enemy Bai Shi had ever come across. It was as if Lin Fan couldn't be killed. Impossible… that's impossible.

"Save me…!"

Pui!

Just as Bai Shi was distracted, another evil cultivator was smashed to his death.

"It's so annoying to fight after losing an arm! It's made me less agile. If not for that, you guys would've already died," Lin Fan said in pity, staring at the four evil cultivators who were still alive.

Clang!

One of the evil cultivators dropped his weapon on accident. He was currently dumbstruck.

"Are you even human?" The evil cultivator trembled. He had lost the means to battle with Lin Fan.

The entire area was dyed red with blood. The strong fishy smell of blood filled each and every one of their noses.

"It's about time." Feeling that he was starting to lose energy, Lin Fan decided to not prolong his current life and pulled out the pike pieces that were stuck in his chest.

Whoosh!

A huge amount of blood gushed down his chest like a waterfall.

"Die!" As if he was still alright, Lin Fan flung his mace at one of the evil cultivators and sent an attack over.

Unable to tolerate the situation further, Bai Shi leapt up quickly, aiming at Lin Fan with his walking stick. He was determined to take Lin Fan's life with this attack.

Bang!

Pui!

Two noises rang out at the same time.

Another evil cultivator was killed. The scene of him turning into mincemeat made the remaining evil cultivators stand rooted to the ground as fear washed over them.

But excitement took over immediately when they saw what happened to Lin Fan.

The walking stick was currently pierced through Lin Fan's heart. A smile crept up onto Lin Fan's mouth as he bent his body, moving forward to pull the walking stick out. With a bang, the mace dropped to the ground.

"Not bad, I'm dead. Chief Bai Shi, you're indeed powerful," Lin Fan said with all smiles. He stood up straight, before falling to the ground with a thud.

Even though he managed to kill Lin Fan, Bai Shi did not know why he had a weird feeling about it, and his heart was racing madly.

"He's dead!" Bai Shi said softly.

The remaining two evil cultivators cheered.

"He's finally dead."

"What demon is this? Why could he survive for so long? What did we even come across?"

They plopped down to the ground and burst into tears.

They were finally rescued from despair.

Chapter 79: Boring

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Staring at the bloody corpse lying on the ground, Bai Shi heaved a sigh of relief.

He had never come across another like Lin Fan who could still fight calmly and fearlessly despite losing an arm. Lin Fan did not even have the means to retreat!

This is really a nightmare.

Luckily, he's dead. However, the loss on my side is too much for me to take responsibility.

When the evil cultivators regained their senses, both of them stared at Bai Shi angrily. "Bai Shi, why didn't you take action earlier? Were you only going to do something when all of us were dead?"

Bai Shi turned around to face them. His glare woke the two evil cultivators up from despair immediately. It dawned on them that Bai Shi was their boss, and it was a huge mistake to speak to your boss in such a manner. They looked down at the ground immediately, trying to catch their breath.

"Who is this, anyway? How can he be so powerful?" One of the evil cultivators spoke up. He had not yet recovered from the shock of seeing Lin Fan murdering his friends and striking terror in his heart. If Bai Shi hadn't managed to kill him, then we would've all ended up like the others! Mincemeat!

"How am I supposed to explain the huge number of deaths of our cult members?" Bai Shi asked, tapping his walking stick on the ground.

"We could say that we were discovered and trapped by the Magnificent Flame Sect. We killed our way out."

"Yes. We managed to escape after a tough fight with the elites they sent."

"I see." Bai Shi hummed. It was a great loss, and there was no way he could hide himself in this village or this skin anymore. Bai Shi now had no choice but to give up the skin that he liked a lot.

"If not for this guy, we would not have incurred such a great loss."

The trio currently had their backs facing Lin Fan as they could not bear to look at the scene.

It was too bloody for them to look at.

Ten seconds later…

Revive!

A pair of eyes opened up, reflecting the beautiful scenery of the clouds scattering all over the pale blue sky. Hope could also be seen swimming in these eyes. It's such a wonderful day.

I'm filled with energy now!

"Damn it. Who would have expected the Magnificent Flame Sect to have such a powerful person? We are lucky enough to be able to escape with our lives."

"Eh, Bai Shi, you're injured?"

One of the evil cultivators realized that blood was dripping from Bai Shi's purlicue. Bai Shi is an Earth Star Border Stage Two and yet he was injured by that b*. How powerful must he have been? The evil cultivator shuddered at the thought.

Bai Shi lifted his hand and looked at the injury. He never expected that the other party would be so powerful as to tear his purlicue open. The strength was overbearing.

Crack!

Crack!

All of a sudden, a strange sound rang across the area. It seemed to be the sound of bones cracking.

The trio was dumbstruck. Color drained from their faces as they were reminded of a terrifying event.

They turned around slowly to be welcomed by a mind-blowing scene.

Lin Fan, who was lying on the ground, stood up. He stretched his neck and limbs, and the cracking sound of his bones rang across the area.

"Okay, I have finished stretching. Are you guys ready?" Lin Fan lifted the mace that was sticking out of the ground up onto his shoulders. "Tell me, are you guys ready for the real battle?" He sneered.

"Impossible!"

Other than Bai Shi, the other evil cultivators screamed and stared at Lin Fan in fear, acting like they had seen a ghost. They were unable to believe the scene that was currently taking place.

He's already dead! How can he revive?

Hallucinations. We must be hallucinating.

Bai Shi was dumbfounded. "You…"

He had come across many strange sights, but he did not dare to believe the one that had just taken place. Bai Shi's gaze never left Lin Fan's left arm, which he had clearly chopped off previously. How is it possible for his arm to be there again?

"I'm so sorry, I was too furious previously, thus I was too violent. But be at ease, I have calmed down now. I can treat you fairly and promise that I won't make any of you explode," Lin Fan said, not even minding if the trio was listening to him or how they felt.

What the heck!?

Bai Shi could still try to accept the facts, but the other two cultivators couldn't. Their mental state had crumbled.

They did not even have the means to resist Lin Fan's actions. Now, Bai Shi was the only Earth Star Border Realm cultivator left. The rest had already been turned into mincemeat.

How are we supposed to resist when faced with such a terrifying being?

Plop!

At some point, the other two evil cultivators had dropped to the ground on their knees. They were currently distressed. They had wasted so many lives to kill Lin Fan, yet now, Lin Fan looked the same as when they first saw him, alive and kicking. Both of them were at a loss about what to do.

What can we fight him with?

"No, I must be dreaming! I would never be in such despair. I do not want to be in despair!" an evil cultivator said, facial muscles twitching as if he was down with a panic attack. He picked up his weapon, smiling like a mad man. "That must be the situation! This is a dream. As long as I'm freed from this dream, everything will return to normal."

"Yuan Man, Zheng Guo, Jiao Wang, here we come…."

Pui!

Both of them committed suicide without hesitation.

"Eh?" Lin Fan said, surprised. "Your friends had a mental breakdown. I see that you're the only one left who can play with me." Lin Fan turned to Bai Shi.

"Cruel Blood!"

Blood and vital breath coiled around Lin Fan, and blood tattoos surfaced again. A strong aura could also be felt.

"Bai Shi, look how nicely I'm treating you. I saved my best for you.

"Don't die immediately, alright? That would be no fun."

Bang!

And Lin Fan disappeared from the spot immediately.

Color drained from Bai Shi's face. He's too fast. And even though he doesn't have earth energy, the energy he possesses just as an Earth Star Border Stage One is able to instill fear in people.

Bai Shi looked around, searching for Lin Fan.

"Bai Shi, I'm right here."

A voice came from Bai Shi's back, and Bai Shi immediately reacted. He gathered all the energy within himself and transferred some earth energy to the walking stick too before going for Lin Fan.

Bang!

"Such a strong force." Bai Shi's arm jolted up. He took a few steps back when he felt the strong force.

"Weak. You're really weak. Can you get any stronger?" Lin Fan sent an attack over. He was a bit disappointed with Bai Shi, who was an Earth Star Border Stage Two.

After the clash, both parties stood opposite each other.

Seeing the skin that was torn apart, Bai Shi was fuming with anger. "Damn it! You have managed to anger me! You're going to pay for this."

He tore the skin off to reveal his actual appearance.

He was bald and only 66 centimeters tall. He was currently staring at Lin Fan in anger.

"You have managed to anger me. I want you dead!"

Seeing how Bai Shi looked, Lin Fan let out a laugh. "So that's how you look! I didn't expect this, no wonder you were so unwilling to show yourself."

Bulging and twitching muscles made Bai Shi look like he was incredibly strong. It was such a pity that he was so short.

"Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, I did not wish to let you see my actual appearance, but you are the one to blame." Bai Shi clenched his fists. His height was his taboo, and there was nobody who could humiliate him. "Since you've forced me, I'll show you my real ability!

"Remember, the reason for your death is Bai Shi!

"Violent Body!"

Bang!

Bai Shi became taller within no time. His arms grew larger too. Earth energy could be felt seeping out of him, and Bai Shi currently felt like a fanatic who was capable of great destruction.

"Interesting." Lin Fan laughed. "Okay, let's fight seriously. I won't laugh at your height, don't worry."

Bai Shi couldn't tolerate Lin Fan's arrogance anymore. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, dashing toward Lin Fan with all his might.

"Die…!"

"Mountain Quake Energy."

Boom!

An explosion took place.

The ground that both parties were standing on crumbled. Dust was all over the place, covering the scene.

Slowly, the dust was blown away.

A figure could be seen standing there with a pile of fresh mincemeat under his feet that was still radiating heat.

"This is no fun, I thought he was stronger….

"So, it's just a matter of a single smash."

Chapter 80: Setting a Short-Term Goal

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Standing amongst the corpses, Lin Fan stared into a distance, looking slightly down. He sighed and waved goodbye to the enemies that had died at his hands.

He thought that the midget Bai Shi was an outstanding cultivator, but the outcome proved Lin Fan wrong and that it was all his wishful thinking.

With just one attack, most of Bai Shi was turned into a mash. What can I do? I did not wish for this to happen either.

He took a look at the blood and remains on the ground. What needs to be done has to be done.

I'm a poor child, taking from the dead is not a bad way for me to earn.

However, it's not an easy task to find his possessions now. I'm regretting my method of killing him. I should have let him die in one piece so that I would not have to fumble around this bloody mash!

My body can still function well though, and I have stopped using Cruel Blood. Even though there are some residual effects, I can leave that for later. It's more important that I do the things I need to do first.

Let me check my points, I'm in such a great mood!

6,760 points.

200 points for an Earth Star Border Stage One and 300 for an Earth Star Border Stage Two.

There isn't a large difference between the two stages. It seems that, in terms of points, quality matters more than quantity.

Anyway, Mountain Quake Energy is not bad. It doubled my strength.

The force I used to kill Bai Shi is great! An Earth Star Border Stage Two like him was unable to even take a single attack and is now a pile of mincemeat!

I'm impressed with my ability! How powerful will I be in the future if I'm already this powerful now?

Taking the possessions of the dead starts now.

Lin Fan's first target was Bai Shi. Even though he's now mash, I am still going to fumble through the pile and get all his possessions. But I'm speechless though. How can someone be that short that he's nothing now with just one smash?

"Eh?" Just then, a ring came into Lin Fan's vision. It's Bai Shi's storage ring! Lin Fan's eyes shone.

I'm so excited about this. Please do not let it be disappointing.

"Open!

"Damn!" When Lin Fan saw the contents, his heart raced. Rich. He's indeed rich.

There were about ten bottles of pills, a huge stack of cash, and two skillsets.

Skin Changing Collection, Mortal high-class skillset.

Violent Body, Mystic low-class skillset.

Other than the previous elder he found in the forest, Bai Shi's storage ring brought him the most happiness.

However, this Skin Changing Collection is useless. It only has one function, and there's nothing it can do other than helping evil cultivators hide under a new skin.

But this Violent Body is good. I do not have enough points now, so it can only come later.

It was a hassle to search for the storage rings belonging to the other evil cultivators. Luckily, Lin Fan managed to earn quite a bit even though they did not possess as much wealth as Bai Shi.

Escape from the scene!

The next day, a few figures could be seen coming from afar. As soon as they arrived at the scene, the unbearable smell of blood filled their noses. All of them pinched their noses to deal with it.

"They are all dead?" a man in a gray robe asked. Only his fingers that were pinching his nose were exposed to the air, and black colored patterns could be seen on them. He felt his heart break when he saw the scene.

"My Lord, they are all dead." The men around him observed their surroundings and answered when they were sure that nobody was left alive and there weren't any intact corpses to be seen. What did they experience? Did they come across a beast who likes to disassemble people?

"Where's Bai Shi?" the man asked coldly. Feeling his unhappiness, everyone around him took a step back and stared at the ground, afraid to look at him.

"My Lord, he's under your feet."

The man looked down and lifted his feet to see gooey substances and blood on his shoes. To the side, he could see half of Bai Shi's face, and his only eye left that recorded the fear he experienced right before his death.

"How did this…?"

The man was unable to believe his eyes. Bai Shi was not a weak cultivator, but he had died such a terrible death! Moreover, from the shape of the corpse, it showed how cruel the method used by the culprit was. He might've been an evil cultivator, but the culprit was way crueler than they were.

"To Ancient River Village."

The crowd ran off toward the distance, determined to hunt the culprit down.

Lin Fan arrived at a forest.

He found a place to give all his war trophies a try.

He poured the pills out into his hand. "There's a number of Mortal high-class and Mystic pills. It seems that Bai Shi earned a number of treasures!"

Even though Mortal high-class pills were almost useless to him, Lin Fan was happy to see all the points. One experience point is still an experience point, right?

He took all of the Mortal high-class pills in one go.

The pills soon took effect, and refinement took place in every part of his body continuously. Very soon, Lin Fan's experience points soared up.

He had now set a goal for himself to cultivate to his limit before he made his way back. Otherwise, this trip will have been a waste!

There are six levels in total for Mountain Quake Energy, and I'm only at level three. How embarrassing would it be to go back without getting it to the highest level?

I have to start learning Violent Body too. I need to work harder.

As for the Transformation into God Swordsmanship that requires fifty thousand points, it's still far from my short-term goal. I'll need to work much harder.

Crack!

"Wow, the effects are a little bit too strong. Even if they are all just Mortal high-class pills, the strong effect nearly made my chest burst open! Luckily, I'm alright." Seeing the crack in his chest, Lin Fan sighed.

"I will need to take the Mystic grade pills in small servings. I might burst to my death because of the overpowering effects.

"I'm lucky this time around though. All the pills I got are cultivation pills. It wouldn't have been as useful if they were support pills.

"I'm so lucky." Lin Fan sighed happily.

Cultivation pills were much more valuable than support pills, putting aside the rare support pills. The difference between the types was obvious too.

The higher the grade of pill, the better its effects would be, and the stronger the residual effects would be too.

A few hours later, Lin Fan had gained 255,470 experience points after he took all the pills.

Let me check my statistics.

Name: Lin Fan

Cultivation: Earth Star Border Stage One ()

Experience Points: 255,470

Points: 6,760

Talents: Immortality, Ultraprecise Blade Claw

Specialty: Golden Body Tempering Secret (3)

Skills Acquired: Violent Mace (Max), Cruel Blood (Max), Mountain Quake Energy (Level 3)

Lottery: Bronze (100), Silver (300), yet to be unlocked.

The experience points gained from pills is way more than when I cultivate myself.

I'm aiming to thoroughly cultivate to the peak of every stage.

I need to level up my Golden Body Tempering Secret to the Mystic level too. Levelling up to Earth Star Border Stage Two will surely need a huge amount of points, even if I am not sure of the exact amount.

Chapter 81: A Bewildering Action

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After finishing with all his war trophies, Lin Fan was now left with completing his short-term goal.

He pulled out the Tai Sovereign Sword and committed suicide.

A great weapon is indeed a great one. I was able to make a cut that is as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water! There wasn't any resistance at all!

Ten seconds later, revive.

Filled with energy, Lin Fan stood on a tree branch, staring far into a distance while giving himself encouragements in his heart.

"I will only stop the collection of points upon my death! Mark my words!"

With a bang, Lin Fan landed on the ground and walked toward the forest with his mace.

The madman of points Lin Fan was back to work once again.

Within no time, Lin Fan stopped in his tracks. He hid behind a giant tree and had his gaze on the heard of beasts that was right in front.

"It's great to be somewhere new. I earned so much in the outer range of Qixia Forest that it's difficult for me to find any beasts there. This is a good place.

"It's such a pity that I am of lower cultivation or I would have ventured deeper into the forest."

The beasts in the deeper parts of the forest are incredibly strong, unlike those I see here now in the outer range. When I get stronger, I will venture in and earn more!

As for now, I'll just earn what I can!

Crack!

The clear and loud noise attracted the beasts' attention. Within no time, numerous ferocious pairs of eyes were looking toward the direction of the noise.

Lin Fan could then be seen walking out with the mace on his shoulders and smiles all over his face. "My dear bubbies, relax. Can we please have a special welcome party?"

Roar!

Beasts of lower cultivation weren't equipped with intelligence. They survived by natural instincts. Based on their natural instincts, they came attacking Lin Fan as soon as they saw him.

"I see that you are not a friendly bunch. Well, then I have no other choice. Sorry," Lin Fan said in pity. He grabbed his mace tightly, putting all his energy into it as he watched the beasts leap up.

Points 80

Plant Tusks were beasts that were as green as plants. They lived in herds and had the natural instincts of wolves. They were also considered beasts that were hard to get away from once one was trapped. Any cultivator below the Earth Star Border Realm should retreat immediately when they came across a herd of them.

"The points might be fewer, but there's benefits too. The points don't decrease even though I have increased in cultivation."

A fierce battle soon came to an end. Lin Fan used brutal force to resolve all his problems, and he did the same to the Plant Tusks too. It was a simple job smashing each and every one of them to their death.

Within no time, the battle came to an end.

The battle earned Lin Fan about a thousand points. It might've been a small amount, but it was satisfactory for Lin Fan who was going to continue earning for a long time to come. I'm not just going to stop here!

"Life is great!"

Now that I have taken down all the beasts here, I'm going somewhere new.

Two days later, Lin Fan could still be seen having the time of his life slaughtering beasts in the forest. Every time tiredness washed over him, he would close his eyes and imagine standing at the top of the world in the future. That was what gave him the energy to go on.

How am I supposed to be the best if I do not go through any hurdles in my life?

Whoosh!

A red colored Blood Python dashed toward Lin Fan like lightning, coiling up around Lin Fan and exerting energy slowly as if it was determined to crush Lin Fan's bones.

After coming across two Earth Star Border Stage One Blood Pythons, Lin Fan had the idea of killing both of them.

However, he was tangled up by this Blood Python that was around him after he killed the other one.

The Blood Python might've only been an Earth Star Border Stage One, but due to its nature, it was much stronger than humans. Perhaps God is fair after all.

It was blessed with extraordinary strength to make up for the intelligence that it did not have.

Szz!

The Blood Python opened up its mouth, wanting to swallow Lin Fan.

"You're going overboard." Lin Fan let go of his mace and caught the snake with his bare hands. With all his might, he pulled it off his body, making the snake twist and turn in pain.

"Die."

Bang!

With both his hands, Lin Fan tore the Blood Python in half, making blood splatter all over the ground.

"Hey, there's food tonight. Snake soup!"

Lin Fan did not know if the Blood Python was poisonous or not, but he was not afraid. I'm immune to all poisons. Worst comes to worst, I'll just die and revive.

After all, I'm always in a perfect state after ten seconds! There's nothing I fear.

Gradually, the sky darkened. There was an obvious difference in his points too.

After a day of killing, I'm getting tired. However, the harvest was great.

I now have forty thousand points in my hands. One step closer to my aim.

Szz!

Lin Fan made a fire. It was not a wise choice to make a fire openly in such a place, as it would attract unwanted beasts. However, Lin Fan was hoping that beasts would come over on their own accord. I don't know if I have overhunted the beasts or what, but I have a tough time finding them now.

It seems like they are avoiding me.

At this time, a soft noise could be heard. Lin Fan stood up and looked toward the distance, trying to figure out what was going on.

I must have heard it wrongly.

However, when he sat back down, he heard noises again.

"What's going on? What happened? I heard voices of humans, is there someone here in my territory?" Lin Fan mumbled to himself, hesitating over whether he should take a look.

In the end, he decided to take a look.

After getting treasures from the elderly, Lin Fan loved taking the dead's possessions now. It gave him surprises every time.

When he arrived at the scene, Lin Fan saw a group of people surrounded by beasts.

Amongst them, there were two that looked familiar. He thought hard and managed to remember them.

Yunluo City, Wang Family disciples, Wang Shufeng and Wang Ziyan.

Aren't they the people I met when I and my senior brothers went out for a mission? They seem to be in trouble.

"Attack! All of you, attack! I will reward you when we get back." Seeing the situation in front of her, color drained from Wang Ziyan's face as she hid at the back, shaking in fear. She dared not face the current situation.

Lin Fan stood on a tree and smiled. "Heaven Burning Rhinoceros, Earth Star Border Stage Two. Interesting."

The group was surrounded by Heaven Burning Rhinoceroses, and there was one at Earth Star Border Stage Two. It might not be easy to deal with, but Lin Fan could definitely save their lives.

Thanks to the Earth Star Border Stage Two cultivator amongst them, Wang Ziyan and Wang Shufeng were able to survive until now. However, the Earth Star Border Stage Two cultivator currently looked like he was not far from his death.

If he wasn't protecting Wang Ziyan and Wang Shufeng, they would've surely been dead by now.

The rest of the group wasn't that lucky, though. Most of them were already dead.

An ordinary Earth Star Border Stage Two was indeed no match for a Heaven Burning Rhinoceros.

"Hey!" Lin Fan shouted.

In utter despair, Lin Fan's voice lit up hope in the group's hearts.

Wang Shufeng had even prepared to abandon Wang Ziyan and escape the area with the Earth Star Border Stage Two cultivator, since he was one of Wang Shufeng's. Compared to Wang Ziyan, his life was way more important than hers.

"Brother Lin, save us!" Wang Shufeng yelled.

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd turned toward Lin Fan too. They felt a sense of danger, but it was impossible for the herd to let go of the prey that was right in front of them.

Seeing Lin Fan, Wang Ziyan was reminded of his ability. "Hurry up and save me! Please save me!" she shouted, grabbing onto the last straw. "I can give you anything and everything."

Lin Fan turned to the Heaven Burning Rhinoceroses. "Brothers, give some face to me, stand still and let me finish my transaction."

Of course, the Heavenly Burning Rhinoceroses wouldn't understand Lin Fan, but they could feel that Lin Fan was the most dangerous among them all. Thus, they had their guard up against him. As long as he did not move, they wouldn't either.

"Alright. I can save your lives, but I will need to receive a similar reward too. It's a simple request, you just have to give me everything you have, including your storage rings. That's not more precious than your lives, right?" Lin Fan asked.

Wang Ziyan nearly suffocated when she heard his words. She was long terrified. "How are you so thick-skinned? I'm the Wang Family's miss! As a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple, you must save me or I'll go to the Magnificent Flame Sect and lodge a complaint against you! Wait to be punished!

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and save me! I'm the Wang Family's miss…."

Wang Ziyan's words left Lin Fan speechless. Are you brainless?

"Okay, you guys can continue. It's none of my business now."

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Shufeng's voice rang across the area.

"Brother Lin, we would be extremely thankful if you save our lives. But look, this is my family member, and he's an Earth Star Border Stage Two. What do you think will happen if he manages to escape and make his way to the Magnificent Flame Sect? Do you know what the consequences will be if this matter is made known?

"But we will definitely reward Brother Lin heavily if you save us."

These words gave Lin Fan goosebumps. Why do I feel so uncomfortable hearing that?

Lin Fan leapt down from the tree and walked toward Wang Ziyan with a frown on his face.

Smiles crept up onto Wang Ziyan's and Wang Shufeng's faces immediately. Finally, we have a deal. How could we give him all our assets?

Sweet words and a threat. He should be clear on what to do after some thought.

Our Earth Star Border Stage Two might be unable to get rid of the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd, but it's not a problem for him to escape from here.

As long as he manages to escape, Lin Fan would be in trouble when the Wang Family lodges a complaint to the Magnificent Flame Sect.

Lin Fan took small steps toward them, but he stopped in his tracks when he got near them.

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks for reminding me. I'll get a complaint if you survive. But… if you're dead, how are you going to lodge a complaint?" Lin Fan looked up with a look of, I'm so impressed by my intelligence!

"What are you…?" Wang Shufeng was shocked as if he was reminded of something scary.

"Remember, I don't take kindly to threats from anyone, especially you guys…

"Because I am not obliged to save you."

Bang!

The mace went for the Earth Star Border Stage Two.

Chapter 82: A Perfect Way to Destroy the Evidence

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Boom!

The Earth Star Border Wang Family member was now dead.

"Now the potential threat is gone. If you got anything else that you can threaten me with, please do."

With a clang, the mace landed on the ground.

Lin Fan stared at both of them with a mocking smile. Wang Shufeng and Wang Ziyan had a high status in the Wang Family, and their wealth and extravagant lifestyles were no doubt attractive to Lin Fan.

Since they'd rather threaten me than pay for their lives, then this is what they have asked for. Thanks for the reminder, though.

I hate it when people threaten me!

Bleugh!

Wang Ziyan's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. The bloody mash in front of her made her vomit. As the miss and the pearl in the palm of the Wang Family, she had never seen such a disgusting scene.

Regret washed over her within no time.

"Brother Lin, it's a misunderstanding. It's really a misunderstanding. We are willing to give Brother Lin everything, as long as Brother Lin saves us," Wang Shufeng said immediately. He never thought that this Magnificent Flame Sect disciple would be this cold-blooded that he would kill just because of a disagreement.

Now they were surrounded by the herd, and there was a grim reaper right in front of them. The only person who could save them now would be the grim reaper that was standing in front of them.

Wang Shufeng was currently filled with hatred for Wang Ziyan. That useless woman! Can't she do anything useful? If not for her words that misled me, I would not have made the statement that I did!

I hope that, now that I have yielded to him, he will forgive me for my words.

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd was now utterly confused. They did not understand why the humans were starting to cut each other's throats now.

They felt that human beings were indeed the most dangerous beings on the planet. We, the rhinoceroses, are very united! We would not kill each other.

However, this human feels dangerous. Very dangerous.

Is he fooling around with me? He was unwilling to start with, but now he's willing? Lin Fan thought to himself.

"You confuse me." Communicating is indeed a hassle! Lin Fan frowned. The mace is still the best. There's no need to talk if they're dead.

Wang Shufeng's heart was already in his throat, but seeing that Lin Fan had not done anything to him yet, hope arose from deep in his heart. At least he isn't thinking of killing me.

"Brother Lin, please speak your mind. I will tell you everything I know."

Lin Fan laughed and put the mace on his shoulder. "It's hard to tell which of your words are true. They confuse me, which should I believe in?"

"Brother Lin, I mean it. I do mean it. I will give Brother Lin everything now to prove my sincerity." Wang Shufeng immediately took off his storage ring and passed it to Lin Fan.

Seeing that Lin Fan kept the storage ring, Wang Shufeng heaved a sigh of relief and hurried forward. "Brother Lin, save me. As long as I get back, I'll reward you heavily."

"I would have done so if you cooperated with me from the start." Lin Fan laughed. "But your words earlier reminded me that, even if you hand me your possessions now, you can still bring me bad luck by lodging a complaint to the sect."

"Since that's the case, I'd rather shut you up."

In a split second, the mace came down at Wang Shufeng with a whoosh.

"No…!" Wang Shufeng shrieked, eyes filled with fear.

Bang!

With a bang, he turned into mincemeat.

I was too careless previously, but thanks to these two kind souls here, I was reminded of the trouble that would come along if I had taken their possessions!

So why not solve all my problems in one go?

Wang Shufeng only had half a body at this point, and a huge stack of money dropped out of his sleeve.

"I knew that you weren't being honest." Lin Fan picked up the stack of cash and kept it in his storage ring before turning to the last person.

The Wang Family's miss, Wang Ziyan. An absolute beauty, but absolutely selfish too.

Wang Ziyan was dumbfounded. She stood on the spot, mind going blank.

Dead… everyone's dead because of him.

I'm the Wang Family's miss! I still have a long way to go, a long life to enjoy. How can I just die here?

No, definitely not.

"What do you want?" Wang Ziyan asked in horror and took a step back. However, the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd was standing right behind her.

At this moment, she was forced to the edge of the cliff. What should I do now?

This person will definitely kill me, and I will die for sure.

"I'm going to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, what else?" Lin Fan laughed.

Wang Ziyan did not dare to imagine what she would become if Lin Fan killed her. Would I be as bloody as the rest?

I'm as pretty as a picture, how can I be treated in this way?

"Let me off. As soon as you let me off, I am willing to do anything. I can give you all my wealth, status, and myself! I can even give myself to you!" Wang Ziyan was confident in her looks. She believed that nobody would be able to ignore her beauty.

As long as I am alive, there will be hope. I will ensure that this person turns into mincemeat when I get back to the family!

Suddenly, just as Wang Ziyan was deep in thought, a strong force came at her.

Color drained from her face when she looked up.

And she was dead.

Villains always die because they speak too much, and I don't want to be a villain.

Silence took over the area.

"Whew." Lin Fan sighed. I'm too violent! I killed such a stunning girl, I must truly be cut out to be a strong person!

And Lin Fan started collecting the dead's possessions. He did not even let the disciples who died from the rhinoceroses off.

"I have earned so much on this trip! I have really become rich from looting the dead." Lin Fan sighed in his heart. He used to be poor, but now he was rather rich.

"Wait, I have something important that I have not done." After careful thought, Lin Fan knew that he had to destroy the evidence.

He took a glance at the rhinoceros heard and ran off immediately after he collected all dead's possessions.

The rhinoceroses stared at each other in confusion. They were at a loss over Lin Fan's actions.

With their brutal nature, they could feel that Lin Fan was extremely dangerous, but they did not fear him that much. The reason why they did not chase after Lin Fan was that he was too fast.

Far away, behind an ancient tree, Lin Fan's head could be seen popping out as he waited slowly.

He was waiting for the heard to clear the scene.

He had turned the Wang Family members into a bloody mess, making it hard for him to deal with. However, if he let the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd deal with it, it would be much simpler.

I would then kill the herd, and everything will be solved!

How smart am I?

If I'm not considered the best, who would be the best?

Chapter 83: Be Brave If You're a Man!

The leader of the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd growled, calling its family members over for food.

The herd of Heaven Burning Rhinoceroses surged up, swallowing the corpses in greed. Despite the horrible state that some of the corpses were in, it did not bother them since it was all the same in the end, after all.

Lin Fan watched the scene secretly. "Do not blame me," he mumbled. "You're the ones to blame for planning against me and being rude."

Such people are a pain to the world, after all. Especially Wang Ziyan – rude and arrogant. She's the type that thinks it's our honor to look at her!

I will kill as many of those types as I see.

My mace is not a vegetarian.

Because of their identities, they might be discovered by some others if I were to leave their corpses out in the open, and that would bring me trouble.

But now the herd has swallowed all of them down their stomachs, a perfect way to get rid of the evidence. If they are still able to catch me, then I have nothing to say.

Within the blink of an eye, the scene was cleared by the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd. It's time for me to show myself.

The points I have now are far from what I need. I will need to work harder.

"Dear bubbies, you have not filled your stomachs, right? Time to go to heaven!" Lin Fan jumped down from the ancient tree with his mace, running toward the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros herd.

Fast and precise. I'm not a wishy-washy person.

Seeing Lin Fan return, the herd growled in anger.

To Lin Fan, the most threatening beast would be the leader of the herd, which was an Earth Star Border Stage Two. The rest of the rhinos were trash – trash that was only a little bit more powerful than an ordinary creature to Lin Fan.

"Let's go!" He swung his mace onto a Heaven Burning Rhinoceros.

Bang!

Due to the weapon used, it was hard to leave a corpse intact after taking it down.

This feature annoyed Lin Fan, but he did not really have any good weapons now, so he could only make do with the mace.

Moreover, it worked with Violent Mace, which made the effects of the mace's attack extraordinary.

As for the so-called three sovereign swords that I have gotten, it's unsafe to put them to use. The elderly men were killed, so I will have to be more careful before I know who Jun Wuwu is.

Watching its family die brutally in front of it, the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader growled in anger and dashed toward Lin Fan.

Black colored flames were burning on its body. A Heaven Burning Rhinoceros would be equipped with this characteristic since birth, which was why they were considered a high-class beast.

And this was the leader of the herd. It had broken through to the Earth Star Border Realm, which was why it was able to unlock its bloodline and form a ball of fire around itself. As for the Body Tempering Realm Heaven Burning Rhinoceroses, they had not even finished developing.

Bang!

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader attacked Lin Fan. Wow, this leader is indeed powerful. It actually moved me backwards!

"Not bad, indeed powerful. But I'm not going to fight you now. I am going to kill your family members now instead." Lin Fan did not get into a fight with the leader. Instead, he went for the other rhinos.

These are all my points! I am going to harvest them with ease!

Blood dyed the ground wherever the mace passed by. Since the Heaven Burning Rhinoceroses were huge in size, the scene was too bloody and cruel to be looked at.

Roar!

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader was angered. This human is too much! It keeps killing my family.

With a growl, the black flame around its body boiled. However, Lin Fan did not fight recklessly with the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader. Instead, he focused on the remaining rhinos and killed then without hesitation.

The rhinos were about to break down.

They came out with their leader to search for food, but they met a pervert who came just to kill them. Watching their family members being thrown up into the sky, fear washed all over them.

"Don't go…!" Watching the remaining rhinos take off, Lin Fan could not hold it in anymore. I will be at a loss if I let them leave when they're already in my hands!

Just before Lin Fan could do something, the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader, who had already gone mad, blocked Lin Fan's way, staring at him with rage.

"Great. Since you can't wait anymore, then let's fight. Show me how good an Earth Star Border Stage Two beast can get!" Lin Fan was prepared to fight an intense better with the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader.

"Cruel Blood.

"Explosion!"

Lin Fan yelled and came to the other party immediately.

"Mountain Quake Energy!"

Boom!

Both parties collided with each other, and the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader was way more powerful in comparison to Bai Shi. With the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader's innate qualities, it was extremely powerful.

"Powerful, you're actually able to take my attack, I have thought too lightly of you." Lin Fan laughed and attacked the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader continuously.

Collision between two forces – collision between a man and a beast.

There's nothing to fear if you're a man! Just go head on!

Lin Fan hit the rhino leader with his mace and the rhino attacked with its flame.

Bang!

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader let out a cry. Blood flowed out of its injury, accumulating to a pool. In the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader's mind though, Lin Fan would surely end up dead. However, its pupils shrunk in disbelief when it saw Lin Fan.

"Not bad. You're something indeed."

Lin Fan was currently covered in black flame, looking like a demon.

Szzz!

Burning sounds could be heard as Lin Fan's skin started to crack slowly.

But it did not affect Lin Fan a single bit.

"C'mon, let's continue…." Lin Fan was full of fighting spirit. He picked up the mace and swung it at the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader, leaving a trail of black flames and burnt ground wherever he stepped.

Ordinary human beings would have been in severe pain as soon as they came into contact with the black flame and died within no time. However, to Lin Fan, as long as he was alive, it was time to fight.

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader stood at its spot, dumbfounded. It moved back slowly, struck dumb by the demon. Its violent nature was being forgotten too.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid? The battle has only started!

"I have not had enough fun yet!"

Violent Mace was already at the maximum level, thus its effects were at the peak.

With a bang, the mace sent out an astounding force.

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader growled and clashed with Lin Fan.

Within a hundred mile radius, the area was turned into a battlefield. An Earth Star Border Stage One human being was having an intense fight with an Earth Star Border Stage Two Heaven Burning Rhinoceros. To others, this would be a fight that one would be in only if they hoped to die.

However, nobody was around to witness this battle.

Not long later, a blood-curdling scream could be heard.

The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader let out a cry and fell to the ground. It never would've thought that a human would be able to defeat it.

Lin Fan stood at his spot, panting. The Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader was indeed tough to deal with, but at least it proved that Lin Fan had perseverance and determination.

Crack!

His skin cracked open totally. The black flame enlarged, burning Lin Fan further. His body fell piece by piece as all of it scattered around the ground.

"It's indeed unlike ordinary fire.

"But I know how to rise from the ashes.

"It's such a pity, huh?"

At last, there was only a pile of black ashes left on the ground.

Ten seconds later, a figure rose from the ashes.

"That was damn dope!" Lin Fan opened his eyes, impressed with himself. It feels great to fight a Heaven Burning Rhinoceros and take it down with me.

In summary, the Heaven Burning Rhinoceros leader was not easy to deal with, and the skills I have picked up are limited. They're not enough for me to unleash my potential.

I would have had a better time if my Mountain Quake Energy was of the highest level.

Let me check my harvest. Wang Ziyan and Wang Shufeng were tycoons in their family, they must've been exceptionally rich.

This has been an extremely lucky trip.

Looking at the huge stack of money, Lin Fan's eyes widened in shock. "Six million…." He gulped.

An eye-opener, indeed an eye-opener.

I worked so hard, lied, and played tricks, and I only earned about a hundred thousand, but killing those two gave me more than six million. How should I spend this money?

No, I need to calm down. I became rich within the blink of an eye. This information is too much for me to take in.

"This…" Just then, a wooden box caught Lin Fan's eyes. He found six pills in it when he opened it up.

He was astonished to see the pills.

Mystic high-class support pill: Gold Essence Pill.

It might've only been of a Mystic high-class pill, but these pills were extremely precious because they could be used to change one's aptitude. Even though sects didn't really measure aptitude, every Elder in the sect was able to see the aptitude of each and every disciple clearly.

These are extremely precious pills in the sect. How do those two have any with them?

A letter came into his eyes. Lin Fan opened it and realized that the letter was regarding the arranged marriage between the Wang Family and the Zhao Family. The six Gold Essence Pills were the dowry.

"Oh no, I think I have made a big mess," Lin Fan mumbled and kept the letter aside without taking a deeper look at it. He looked around the storage space again.

There weren't many more pills, only a few Mortal high- and middle-class pills, which weren't of much use to Lin Fan. I'll gift them to my senior brothers.

A few days later, Lin Fan stood on the branch of an ancient tree. After his hard work, there were no beasts to be found within a hundred-mile radius. Most either escaped or had gone into hiding. It was almost impossible for Lin Fan to find a single beast now.

As for the monsters of a higher realm, let's not bother them. I would die even if I managed to find one.

But I'm already happy with the points.

Eighty thousand points is a lot!

"I can finally pick up the Transformation into God Swordsmanship! I wonder what it's like. It must be incredible."

Transformation into God Swordsmanship.

"Fifty thousand points to learn the Transformation into God Swordsmanship."

"Yes."

Transformation into God Swordsmanship (Level 1)

Traits: Basics of swordsmanship, increase in speed, increase in sensitivity, sword control.

What on earth? This is just level one, yet it comes with so many traits? This is a great increase!

I'm not going to think about levelling it to level two for now. The number of points needed will surely be heavenly. Let's level up my Mountain Quake Energy.

"Level up," Lin Fan mumbled to himself.

Points -7000.

It was still the same as it was in level three, it just gave a slightly bigger strength increase, but this was still not enough.

Level up!

Level up!

Mountain Quake Energy (Level 6, maximum level)

Traits: Maximum increase in strength, level three thunder punch, piercing earth energy.

After getting Mountain Quake Energy to the highest level, Lin Fan became broke within no time. However, he was surprised by Mountain Quake Energy, which gave him level three thunder punch and piercing earth energy.

These are great traits!

I can feel my power increasing significantly!

A Heaven Devouring Rhinoceros's skin might be strong, but with the level three thunder punch and piercing earth energy, it would be almost nothing.

"Violent Body."

"2000 points to learn Violent Body."

After some thought, Lin Fan decided to learn it. It might've been a Mystic low-class skillset, but it was a skillset that would currently be useful to Lin Fan as it was a skillset that made use of one's brutal force.

Violent Body (Level 1)

Traits: Expansion of body, increase in strength.

Most skillsets that Lin Fan had acquired made use of brutal force. The strongest skillset was none other than Transformation into God Swordsmanship.

"Haha!" Lin Fan laughed. Life's better now. Every time I get better, I'm closer to the endpoint.

It's a long trip. I should return now. My senior brothers must miss me.

Now, I will be able to get in contact with more things after I become a third-class inner disciple!

Let's go back to the sect. Take a rest, forest. I'll come back next time.

…

"Be at ease, Junior Sister Liu Yue. He definitely won't get away." For their Junior Sister Liu Yue who was as pretty as a picture, the Magnificent Sect disciples used all their might.

A figure could be seen running away from the scene at lightning speed. He didn't expect that a group of Earth Star Border Realm Magnificent Flame Sect disciples would come at him. I would've died if I was slower.

It's my fault that I killed some people on my way and brought trouble to myself.

But I can't let my guard down. These people are chasing me relentlessly, they aren't going to let me off.

Liu Yue, the center of many inner disciples' universes, sneered seeing the evil cultivator who was running away. "Senior Brothers!" she called out sweetly. "Do not let him run off! I will be so upset if he does."

Hearing her, the inner disciples were completely energized and gave it their all.

"Don't run! Stop! If our junior sister wants you dead, you can never escape!"

"Stop and let us kill you!"

Motherf*. The evil cultivator cursed hearing the Magnificent Flame Sect disciples.

A bunch of madmen. Have they not seen a woman before? You're throwing your pride away just for a woman? Embarrassing!

Suddenly, he saw somebody walking toward him. Seeing the clothes he was wearing, the evil cultivator knew that he was a Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. It made his anger boil.

I'm already being chased by a group, and there's one here too? Then let me kill you before going off.

Lin Fan was having a good time when suddenly, he saw a figure in front of him coming toward him angrily.

"What are you trying to do?" Lin Fan asked.

"Kill you." The other party came up at him with malicious intentions immediately.

Lin Fan was taken aback. Who on earth have I offended? Why are you coming for my life when all I did is just walk and mind my own business? Lin Fan blinked his eyes in confusion.

Do you think I'm good to bully?

He swung his mace at the other party.

The evil cultivator thought that Lin Fan was just an ordinarily disciple, but all of a sudden, he realized that this attack was extremely powerful. Cold sweat ran down his forehead as his palms and feet turned cold.

Bang!

After one attack:

"What on earth? You're so weak yet you wanted to kill me? I was badly shocked, so I'll take your possessions as compensation for my mental health." Lin Fan fumbled through his body to find a skillset. It's nothing good. He took a glance at it and kept it.

Now let's continue on my journey.

"Hold up, that belongs to us."

A voice could be heard. Lin Fan stopped in his tracks and stared at the person, not knowing what was going on.

Chapter 85: So This Is What Unreasonable Powerful Figures Are Like?

Liu Yue and the group never would've imagined that the evil cultivator they were chasing for so long would be killed by somebody else.

Seeing that Lin Fan was going off, they called out to him without hesitation.

"May I help you guys?" Lin Fan asked nicely. He tried to sound as gentle as he could when he realized that the other party was similarly from the Magnificent Flame Sect.

Well, the scene is kind of disgusting now, and I might have already left an unfavorable impression on them.

Liu Yue frowned when she saw the mash of flesh on the ground. She looked unwell.

Some male disciples felt nausea seeing such a bloody image too. However, their Junior Sister Yue was right beside them, so they could not possibly embarrass themselves.

"Junior Brother, the evil cultivator you have killed was discovered by us and is also the mission that Junior Sister Liu needs to complete. We hope that you can hand the skillset to us."

"Is that so?" Lin Fan took a glance at the dead evil cultivator. "He's mincemeat now, yet you could still recognize him? I'm suspicious," Lin Fan asked, puzzled.

The evil cultivator is now beyond recognition, yet he could still tell. Impressive.

But he died under my hands, how can I just let you have it?

To the other Magnificent Flame Sect disciples, Lin Fan was just unwilling to let them have the skillset and was looking for trouble.

At this moment, everyone was unhappy with Lin Fan. "Are you Junior Brother Lin?" a disciple asked after seeing Lin Fan's face.

"The Junior Brother Lin that killed the Sunshine Sect disciples at the arena."

"Yeah, that's me." Lin Fan laughed. "I am surprised that you recognized me."

Liu Yue, who had been silent until now, spoke up all of a sudden; "So you're the arrogant guy that my sister talked about. The one that does not know how foolish your acts were back then. I hope to see the day where you kneel down crying in regret."

Lin Fan was unhappy to hear Liu Yue's rude comments. "And who's your sister?"

"Hmph, listen up, my sister is a first-class inner disciple, Liu Ruochen." Liu Yue looked at Lin Fan proudly. Thanks to her sister, Liu Yue was able to be set up on high and have many people revolve around her.

"Liu Ruochen!" Lin Fan noted down the name. She sounds smart, and I like to interact with smart people.

The disciples who were planning to get physical with Lin Fan did not take action. It was said that Lin Fan was a disciple that Elder Tian Xu liked a lot. If they were to beat him up, they might attract unwanted trouble.

"Can you hand me the item now?" Liu Yue asked.

"Sure," Lin Fan said, taking a glance at the skillset in his hand. "I can give it to you. But this is a Mystic low-class skillset. Market price is two hundred thousand. I will give it to you if you can pay for it, since I killed him but you're the one profiting from his death."

I might have millions now, but who would dislike more money?

"Impossible. Are you so poor that you have gone mad?" Liu Yue chided. I can treat another senior or junior brother nicely, but not this idiotic outer disciple.

If he was actually Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple, I might have thought of him otherwise or even bootlicked him, but he's nothing more than an idiot now.

Lin Fan weighed his mace. If not for her identity, I would have smashed it down on her already.

But I need to hold my anger in. "Whatever. Buy it if you want and give it up if not. Bye," he said and put the mace on his shoulders, walking away.

"Hold on." Feng Shaoyun blocked Lin Fan's way. He stared at him coldly. "Junior Brother Lin, are you really not going to give us face?"

Lin Fan took a glance at the sect badge hanging on his waist: third-class inner disciple. He's trying to pressure me with his status. "Senior Brother, are you trying to snatch it from me? That's not very nice, but I have nothing to say if you do so.

"I might not be Elder Tian Xu's disciple, but I will still lodge a complaint because you're bullying me."

Indeed, this statement worked. Feng Shaoyun had no words to retort.

Do I really need to get it back with two hundred thousand?

It's the market price, but the skillset is useless to me.

"And don't think of killing me. I run very fast. Within a second, I'm gone." Lin Fan felt the need to plan out all his escape routes.

There are a few people here who have higher cultivation than me. If they are planning to kill me, then I would be in danger. I need to let them know that I'm like hot wheels. With a whoosh, I'm gone!

All of a sudden, a strong aura could be felt pressuring down on the crowd, engulfing them. Color drained from their faces as they felt the pressure getting stronger.

It was nothing much to Lin Fan though. It just felt like somebody was pressing down on his shoulders.

"What are you guys trying to do?" spoke a man wearing green floating in mid-air. He shone brightly like the sun, and when he looked down at them, the crowd felt as if they were being thoroughly seen through.

Powerful. He must be very powerful.

Is this Cheng Yaojin that unexpectedly got in the way going to kill all of us? (TL note: a Chinese idiom that means "a trouble unexpectedly appears in the process.")

In that case, then please, please kill us. I can then collect their possessions when I revive. Such a powerful cultivator would not be interested in our possessions.

But to be safe, I'll swallow all the storage rings.

What Lin Fan did not understand was the group started bowing to the figure in mid-air.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Jun."

"Mm. What are you guys doing? Why is there blood and flesh on the ground?" Jun Wutian asked, looking at the whole situation down from mid-air.

Liu Yue got heart eyes immediately when she saw Jun Wutian, the head of the ten peaks of the Magnificent Flame Sect and a potential candidate for the next Magnificent Flame Sect leader. He was the ideal type for all female disciples and the idol of all male disciples.

"Liu Yue pays respect to Senior Brother," Liu Yue walked out slowly and said sweetly. With a graceful posture, she was as pretty as a picture. She even stared at the figure in mid-air in affection with her pair of beautiful eyes.

"Junior Sister Liu's younger sister," Jun Wutian said.

"Senior Brother, Liu Ruochen is indeed my elder sister. I have made a trip out of the sect to complete my mission with the help of my senior and junior brothers. However, this junior brother snatched our mission item away and asked us to buy it back with two hundred thousand YHB! Senior Brother Feng couldn't stand it, so he's reasoning with him. I hope Senior Brother can help us settle this matter," Liu Yue said in a delicate way, making herself look extremely helpless. "He even said that he will tell Elder Tian Xu about it and that we should be more careful."

Lin Fan suddenly had an ominous feeling about this. This pretty b* is trying to make me the bad guy? I might not be horny, but those guys over there might be blinded by looks!

This pink skeleton is extremely lethal.

This sure makes things harder for me.

At the same time, Jun Wutian turned to Lin Fan. "You're Lin Fan, the outer disciple who rejected Elder Tian Xu?"

Lin Fan was now thinking fast. I need a plan now. I might be immortal, but I am nothing to a powerful cultivator. What if he decides to bully me?

And I'm such a petty person who's easily blinded by hatred. It's not a good thing if I then decide to dye the place with blood.

"Yes, Senior Brother," Lin Fan answered. "In fact-"

But before he could finish his explanation, Jun Wutian cut him off.

"Return the item to Junior Sister Liu," Jun Wutian said coldly, forcing Lin Fan to act as he said. "Even though Elder Tian Xu favors you, justice still comes first in my eyes. And Elder Tian Xu would approve of my choice if he knew about it."

Lin Fan stared at him calmly. So this is what unreasonable powerful figures are like?

It's my first time experiencing it.

Liu Yue and the rest stared at Lin Fan mockingly, rejoicing in his misfortune. What are you going to do now? This is Senior Brother Jun.

Only obediently handing the item over is the right way.

Lin Fan was currently in deep thought.

Should I give up this easily?

Am I someone who gives up so easily? This is food for thought.

Report chapter

Chapter 86: Senior Brother, Fighting!

Noticing that there was no response from Lin Fan, Feng Shaoyun's face fell. "Are you perhaps turning a deaf ear to Senior Brother Jun?"

With Senior Brother Jun standing with them, they feared nothing from Lin Fan even though he was somewhat related to Elder Tian Xu. So what?

Senior Brother Jun is the head of the ten peaks of the Magnificent Flame Sect. With Jun Wutian's status, it's not a big deal if he teaches an outer disciple a lesson. Elder Tian Xu would not have much to say even if he knew about it.

Lin Fan looked around. A dog threatening me based on your master's power? Such a tyrant. Do you think you can pressure me with this? Yes, you can. You make me feel so helpless and sad!

If I were to act as I wish, I would have turned this crowd into mincemeat, but this Jun Wutian is here, so I need to stay calm.

Even if you think that you're in complete control, I won't let you have it. I will overpower all of you even if there's only a one percent chance of me succeeding. So, here's a word for you.

F* your mothers.

Lin Fan then turned to Jun Wutian. "Senior Brother Jun, I have a small doubt about this matter. May I voice it?"

Jun Wutian sneered coldly, suppressing Lin Fan with his pressure. He did not expect an outer disciple to not heed his instructions. Dying to go to hell, huh? I need to give you a lesson or you would not know where you stand.

Suddenly, Feng Shaoyun and the crowd started breaking out in cold sweat. Their palms and feet turned icy cold too. Even though Jun Wutian did not suppress them, the group still experienced huge stress, which put a toll on their mental state. They were all about to break down soon.

Lin Fan stared at the crowd in front of him weirdly. What are these guys doing? Why do they look like they were scared badly? He only said "Hmph!"! Is there a need to react in this manner?

Feng Shaoyun and the group were surprised to see how calm Lin Fan was. How could he feel nothing under Senior Brother Jun's pressure?

Jun Wutian frowned. The current scene was unexpected.

"Hmph!"

He sneered again. The noise boomed across the area like thunder.

A powerful cultivator could simply exert such a huge amount of pressure just by clearing their throat.

Lin Fan looked up, confused. What is he doing? Is his throat okay?

Jun Wutian might seem expressionless, but he's stupefied in fact. How can this happen?

Feng Shaoyun and the group's legs were shaking. They could no longer take the pressure of Jun Wutian. It was as if there were numerous mountains on their shoulders. They were crumbling down mentally and were currently extremely distressed.

"Hmph!"

Jun Wutian sneered.

"Senior Brother Jun, is your throat feeling unwell?" After some time, Lin Fan couldn't contain his curiosity. "Back in my hometown, we drink water when our throat is feeling unwell."

Jun Wutian was astonished. He was confused about how Lin Fan was able to take the pressure. Does he have some special treasure on him or a secret that I'm unaware of?

An idea came to his mind and Jun Wutian's eyes shone.

Seeing greed in Jun Wutian's eyes, Lin Fan had a bad feeling.

"Return the item to Junior Sister Liu." Jun Wutian snapped. He made it clear with his tone that, if Lin Fan dared to make any more comments, he would be dead.

Did immortality impact my mental state in a bad way? Lin Fan was now aware that Jun Wutian was trying to suppress him with his pressure. Otherwise, why would Feng Shaoyun and the rest look like they just had a bath?

After some thinking, Lin Fan came to the conclusion that there was a possibility. I have committed suicide for God knows how many times, I might have already gone nuts long ago.

"Are you going to hand it over or not?" Lin Fan now only had two choices.

A wise man submits to circumstances. When there's life, there's hope.

If I'm fearless, I'll go down and then revive. If I'm afraid, I'll become an embarrassment.

Ah, it's such a tough choice. I can only blame myself for being weak. If I was stronger and had power closer to this Senior Brother Jun, then I would be able to act as I wish.

I would definitely smash him into mincemeat without hesitation.

At the moment though, it makes my head hurt.

Boom!

All of a sudden, two huge figures landed from the sky with a boom, and the ground started to shake violently.

This scene left the crowd dumbfounded. Dust blinded their sight as they were still at a loss over what was going on.

Jun Wutian's face fell. He looked worried.

When the dust was gone, two huge figures, one shorter than the other, could be seen standing in front of them.

Roar!

Its growl could be heard across the entire area, making the birds fly off in a hurry. Within this twenty-mile radius, there was no beast who dared to come near.

Watching the scene, Lin Fan gulped.

He had the feeling that he was meeting somebody he knew. The huge body, strong arms, and captivating eyes. With the thin fur on its body, it looked majestic.

"Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape!"

The one that I met previously, and the other Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape next to it is twice its size!

Feng Shaoyun's heart sank seeing the beasts of such high cultivations.

At that moment, Lin Fan realized that the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was staring at him. Anger was swimming in its blood-colored eyes.

"Oh no, what a tragedy," Lin Fan muttered. He had forced this ape with intelligence in front of him to move out of its forest with his bombings in the past.

Now it's in front of me and staring at me. It must be determined to kill me.

Jun Wutian frowned, staring at the huge Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape as if he was trying to send a message of, "I am just a passerby and not here to fight" to the other party.

Lin Fan thought about it. It's time for my performance. He stood up and pointed at the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape who he had met before. "What are you looking at? I'll take your eyes out if you continue looking at me. Do you know who he is? He's my Senior Brother Jun. If you don't leave immediately, he will stew you!"

The demonic ape that he had originally met was already powerful on its own. After hearing Lin Fan, it turned to the other demonic ape and howled with grievance, complaining about Lin Fan.

Suddenly, Jun Wutian felt the larger demonic ape staring at him angrily. He jumped up and turned to Lin Fan in anger. "You…!"

Before he could finish his words, the larger demonic ape clenched its fist, suppressing the crowd with its pressure.

Seeing this, Lin Fan ran off without hesitation. "Senior Brother Jun, Junior Brother will get you help. Chicken nuggets, they are both of high cultivation!"

Chapter 87: Still Can't Do As I Please

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"You…!" Jun Wutian cursed, anger boiling in his system. He was still confused over the reason why the pair of Blood-Eyed Demonic Apes were enraged.

The shorter Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape might not have been threatening to Jun Wutian, but that didn't mean the grown-up Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape wasn't.

Within the blink of an eye, the grown-up Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was staring at Jun Wutian in anger. The pressure it exerted was enough to shatter space. Its attack was so strong that no earth energy would be able to block it.

Liu Yue was struck dumb by the scene. "Junior Sister Liu, let's go," Feng Shaoyun said and pulled her away immediately.

To Feng Shaoyun, the current situation was something that he would not be able to handle. The Blood-Eyed Demonic Apes were considered beasts of high cultivation, and any such beast could take their lives simply.

Just then, the shorter Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape growled and ran after Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was currently sprinting off, so he did not realize that the shorter Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was coming for him. God really loves me, he blessed me with help from out of nowhere! I was unhappy with the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape, but I am extremely happy with it now.

Our resentments have been wiped out now.

Boom! Boom!

The ground started shaking violently. Wow, it's such an intense fight, huh? But when Lin Fan turned around, he was dumbfounded; the shorter Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was chasing him relentlessly.

"What the hell is going on? What's happening?" An alarm rang in Lin Fan's heart. He never expected the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape to be so petty.

"Trash. He's such trash! What Senior Brother Jun or head of the ten peaks, he can't even take down both of the Blood-Eyed Demonic Apes and let one escape to come at a pretty flower like me! He's so embarrassing."

Suddenly, Lin Fan heard Liu Yue rejoicing.

The group was still sprinting with all their might, fear written all over their faces. "Senior brothers, this Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape is after him, let's go the opposite direction and escape from the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape."

Feng Shaoyun was happy to hear Liu Yue. He too had no idea why the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was only going after Lin Fan. He might have committed so many sins that even the heavens are angry with him.

Their comments made Lin Fan extremely unhappy. These people, how dare you rejoice at my misfortune? If I don't play a prank on you, I will take your surnames!

Thus, Lin Fan put on a scared expression and ran after the group. "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, please do not abandon me! I'm so afraid!" He turned around and ran toward the group.

"I'll kill you if you dare come over here!" Feng Shaoyun shrieked and glared at Lin Fan. He never thought that Lin Fan would dare to lure the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape over to their group!

If the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape puts its eyes on us, it will be a tragedy. I wouldn't even know how I died.

Liu Yue was as pale as a piece of paper.

"Senior Brother! Help!" Lin Fan could not care less. Senior Brother Jun is not around now and there's the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape to blame for anything that happens. What else would I be scared of?

Boom!

The Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape growled in anger and hammered down on the ground, sending a strong energy wave toward the group.

Affected by the energy wave, Lin Fan lost his balance and banged into a senior brother. "Senior Brother, look out!" he shrieked, waving his mace.

Being called, the nameless senior brother turned around. When he saw what was going on, his face fell. "Don't come over…!"

Bang!

Lin Fan swung the mace around in a way that made it seem as if he did not deliberately smash the senior brother's face.

Senior brother, dead!

Feng Shaoyun stared at him in anger. "You…!"

Lin Fan looked at him pitifully. "Senior Brother, I really did not do it on purpose!" Anger could then be seen written all over his face. "It's that Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape! If not for him, Senior Brother would not be dead! I'm going to fight that b*!

"No, I can't! I can't die now. I am going to become stronger and take revenge for Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Feng Shaoyun nearly vomited blood. How shameless can he be?

Seeing that the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was still chasing after them, color drained from Liu Yue's face. "Senior Brother, bring me along…."

Feng Shaoyun was the strongest cultivator among the group. If he were to bring Liu Yue along with him, it would reduce his speed, and it would be extremely dangerous taking into account the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape that was chasing right after them. In this case, Liu Yue was just a burden.

Especially when Lin Fan was deliberately following after them when he knew that the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was after him. He's so evil.

Many male disciples around Liu Yue were hesitating about abandoning her too as they knew that Lin Fan would not follow after them, and they would be able to escape if they went separate ways.

"Junior Sister, good luck."

After some thoughts, the male disciples lowered their heads and went separate ways. It was obvious that they did not want to be with Liu Yue anymore.

"How dare you abandon me!? I am going to tell my sister about this, just wait and see!" Liu Yue shrieked.

She never expected that the group of men who had been escorting her around would abandon her during such a situation.

Feng Shaoyun gritted his teeth, ready to retreat and abandon Liu Yue.

But all of a sudden, a roar could be heard coming from afar.

The Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape that was chasing after them came to an abrupt stop, staring at them with its pair of bloody eyes. It then leapt up and went back to the place it came from.

"What's going on? Why did it stop?" Lin Fan cursed in his heart. It's such a great opportunity! Am I going to lose it like this?

Feng Shaoyun heaved a sigh of relief seeing this. He similarly did not know why the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape stopped chasing them, but he glared at Lin Fan. "This little b*…"

"I have no idea. It's got nothing to do with me." Lin Fan shrugged.

Those disciples that left Liu Yue came back too, looking at her awkwardly. "Junior Sister Liu, we-"

"Get lost." Unable to recover from the fear, she stared at them angrily. "How dare you abandon me during this situation? I never want to see you guys again."

The group shared a glance and nodded. They bowed and made their leave.

Lin Fan looked into the distance. Space had collapsed, and surging clouds could be seen all over the sky. It seems that Senior Brother Jun and the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape are having an intense fight.

I must return to the sect immediately. It's too dangerous out here. And without hesitation, Lin Fan retreated.

I am unable to kill them, especially Feng Shaoyun, who's a few realms above me.

My cultivation does not allow me to act as I wish yet.

When I get back to the sect, I am not going to rest until I level up.

…

Jun Wutian was unwilling to get into a battle with the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape, thus he leapt up into the void to hide, but within no time, a huge palm shattered it and pulled Jun Wutian out of it forcefully.

"Damn it…" Jun Wutian might've had a shocking level of cultivation, but the descendants of the Huanggu Vicious Apes that bore extraordinary bloodlines, the Blood-Eyed Demonic Apes, weren't like any other beast.

"Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape, are you insisting on battling to the death with me?" Jun Wutian asked fiercely. With such high cultivation, the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape was an intelligent beast, and Jun Wutian would have no choice but to fight it if the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape insisted. I will be able to kill it, but I would suffer a great loss in doing so.

He was still confused as to why a grown-up Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape would appear here.

This makes no sense.

Chapter 88: Shameless

Lin Fan was unaware of how the situation was going for Jun Wutian. I hope he's being beaten to death, but that seems impossible.

Lin Fan sprinted all the way and heaved a sigh of relief when he got back to the sect. It was a perfect trip, but who would have expected I'd meet with trouble on the return trip?

Liu Yue, that witch, has nothing on me, but that Jun Wutian is the one that is stressing me out. He's too powerful, and there's nothing I can do to him. He's not an opponent that I could take down even if I used up all my brain cells.

Immortality might be powerful, but if I go forcefully fight him, I would surely not be able to return to the sect. The price is too huge.

I'll gamble on it and return to the sect and see how things go.

"Slave, how dare you cause trouble to me?"

Jun Wutian could be seen dashing over from afar. He only managed to escape the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape using tremendous strength.

He was unhappy about the incident. How could a small outer disciple dare to cause trouble to me? Where's my dignity?

Absolutely horrifying!

Lin Fan gulped. Don't tell me this guy dares to get rid of me in the sect?

I don't believe this!

"Senior Brother Jun, this is a misunderstanding." Lin Fan frowned helplessly, staring into the distance. Is this guy nuts? What am I supposed to say other than "Senior Brother Jun, this is a misunderstanding" when it's really a misunderstanding?

If I wasn't way weaker than you, I would really teach you how to be a human.

The Magnificent Flame Sect might've been a place filled with love, but anyone who was like Jun Wutian could indeed act without boundaries, just like his name suggested. Even ordinary elders would have to bootlick him.

Anyone that was not blind would know clearly if they should stand by a noble or a Diaosi. (TL note 1.)

"Senior Brother Jun, this guy is despicable! If it wasn't for him attracting the Blood-Eyed Demonic Ape, Senior Brother Chen would not have died!" Feng Shaoyun stood next to Jun Wutian, staring at Lin Fan in anger. He was dying to see Lin Fan dead immediately.

"Senior Brother Jun, you should help the sect by killing this rotten apple to clear the sect of all future troubles!" Liu Yue glared at Lin Fan.

The intention to kill!

I can feel that they want me dead.

The disciples who were guarding the sect lowered their heads seeing the situation. They did not even dare to breathe as they were afraid of being pulled down the waters.

On the other hand, they were unaware of what Lin Fan did wrong that resulted in such public wrath.

Lin Fan frowned and looked up at the sky. "Are you planning to kill me at the sect's entrance? Aren't you afraid that the sect would punish you?"

"What a joke. Senior Brother Jun's only helping to get rid of a pest in the sect. Why would they punish him? You think too highly of yourself." Liu Yue sneered. "Right, how can an ant like you understand how much power and status Senior Brother Jun, the head of the ten peaks, holds? He even has the right to kill."

Bullies, you guys are such bullies.

Anger boiled in Lin Fan's system. You guys do talk cutely. I have noted it down, and I will never forget it. Make sure I never catch you ever or I'll smush your mouths.

"You thought that you would be able to dodge the bullet after returning to the sect, right? I, Jun Wutian, have the right to keep the sect clean. Kneel down," Jun Wutian said, staring at Lin Fan. In his eyes, Lin Fan was none other than an ant. He could kill him within no time.

The surrounding disciples felt the aura and looked down. They were trembling in fear as silence took over the place. The head of the ten peaks was not someone they could afford to offend.

At the scene, Lin Fan was the only person who was staring into space. What's the relationship between Jun Wutian and Jun Wuwu? he pondered, shocked at the name.

"Are you deaf?" Seeing that there was no response from Lin Fan, Liu Yue called out sternly. "How dare you not kneel down when Senior Brother Jun has told you to? Even an ant knows how to save their own life. I think you're worse than an ant."

"Ant, ant, ant. Your words are really unpleasant to hear. Liu Yue, what are you other than a dog that threatens others with its master's power? Come down if you dare and see whether I turn you into mincemeat or not." Lin Fan stepped up with his mace, still staring up at them. "The head of the ten peaks of the sect Senior Brother Jun, you're nothing but that too. You can kill someone but not insult them. I, Lin Fan, am aware that I'm not your opponent, but I do not fear you."

"You…!" Liu Yue stared at Lin Fan coldly. She never expected Lin Fan to speak so daringly when he was on his death bed.

Jun Wutian sneered and said nothing more. He raised his hands and did nothing more, but a transparent giant palm came down from the sky with incomparable force, going for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had no fear when he was facing something fearful. He was calm when facing someone that was way stronger than him.

If that happens, I'll just go hard.

"C'mon. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Lin Fan stared at the transparent palm in the air. An extraordinary force came for him, making his clothes dance in the wind.

A smile crept up the corner of Liu Yue's mouth. Senior Brother Jun has finally taken action.

I can't wait for this stubborn guy to turn into a cold corpse.

All of a sudden, the surroundings seemed to have frozen. Jun Wutian's transparent palm had disappeared into thin air too.

A majestic aura could be felt coming out from the sect.

Before the crowd could register what happened, a figure appeared in front of the crowd.

All disciples, including Jun Wutian, bowed down with respect. "Greetings, Elder Tian Xu."

"Mm." Elder Tian Xu stood in mid-air, long beard flowing down from his chin. He only hummed in response, but before Elder Tian Xu made any comment, no one else dared to speak.

Even the head of the ten peaks of the sect, Jun Wutian, would have to bow down to the strongest Elder of the sect.

"Chicken nuggets, you scared me." After playing cool, Lin Fan's heart raced after being saved out of nowhere.

Elder Tian Xu, I'll give you many 6s with my hand…. You're right on time. (TL note 2.)

However, it was so silent that it confused Lin Fan. Why not say something more since you're here?

When Lin Fan looked up to Elder Tian Xu, he realized that he had a meaningful glance.

This glance seemed to contain many meanings, but he could understand at least one of them.

"You're in big trouble, and I'm the only person who can save you. Do you now understand the importance of stable support?

"Do you still not get the idea?"

Others acted according to the other party's disposition, but Lin Fan had the talent of acting according to the other's glance. He could understand the other party's message through their gaze.

Lin Fan was currently speechless. So this old man is forcing me to make a decision.

He still can't forget the previous incident, huh?

I rejected him without hesitation, which was an embarrassment to him.

But am I the type of person to look back and throw my pride away when I am in danger?

I am well known for being someone who never goes back on his words, and my words are worth nine sacred tripods! (TL note 3.)

But there's a special case too.

I can throw my pride away after experiencing the cons of having no support. A fall into a pit, a gain in wit. I am a good teenager if I can identify my mistakes.

If Liu Bei could make three humble trips to the thatched cottage, then it's already good enough that you gave me two chances. We can be too arrogant, and it's a mistake to be shining too brightly too! (TL note 4.)

Even someone like Elder Tian Xu could not forget me, what's there left to say?

All of a sudden, a shocking scene unfolded.

Lin Fan went up to Elder Tian Xu and spoke loudly, afraid that not everyone would be able to hear him. "Your humble disciple Lin Fan greets my mentor."

Elder Tian Xu, who had been putting up a poker face, smiled, which was a rare scene. He nodded his head lightly too. A promising young man.

"I can feel your sincerity, thus I'll take you in as my direct disciple."

Lin Fan: "…"

Shameless.

Chapter 89: Do it if You're a Man!

The disciples who were spectating from afar got the shock of their lives hearing Lin Fan's words. Having Elder Tian Xu as his master would allow Lin Fan to shoot to success. A huge rise would definitely be seen in his status in the sect, and he would be the person that everyone envied the most. Now, he would be able to act without restraint.

Feng Shaoyun's face fell. He did not expect the situation to progress in this manner.

Elder Tian Xu has agreed to take him in. Now, even Senior Brother Jun won't be able to find trouble with him.

There were many things that Liu Yue hoped to say, but her words were all stuck in her throat as if there was someone choking her. She was unhappy and unwilling to accept the fact, and she felt a sense of regret at the same time too.

Maybe it was because she never thought that the ant she disdained could turn into an existence that was too high for her to reach in an instant.

She was extremely uncomfortable with this change.

Elder Tian Xu nodded. "The apprentice ceremony will be held three days later," he said and left. He did not even mind what was going on at the place because there was nobody who dared to touch his disciple in the sect.

And no one dared to do so openly outside the sect.

"See you, Master." Lin Fan smiled widely. He then stared into space, feeling a bit weird about the sudden change in his identity.

Seeing how powerless Liu Yue and the rest looked, Lin Fan felt extremely happy. So happy that I can't describe it with words.

Lin Fan pointed to the air with his mace. "Girly, who are you calling an ant? Come on down and see if I'll kill you or not. You called me an ant, right? So you're technically insulting my master, Elder Tian Xu. As his disciple, I have the responsibility to teach you a lesson.

"Come down!"

It's not a nice thing to act arrogantly as soon as one gets the power, especially in an instant, but I have held it in for such a long time, I must vent it out!

Liu Yue stood there, face turning pale. "Senior Brother Lin…" she said, forcing a thin smile.

"Who's your senior brother? Do you even take me as your senior brother? And keep your puppy-dog eyes. I'm unlike those idiots who forget who they are as soon as they see you." Lin Fan chided.

Feng Shaoyun's and Jun Wutian's faces fell upon hearing Lin Fan's words. They were aware that he was scolding them indirectly, but there was nothing they could do.

Unable to contain her anger anymore, Liu Yue burst out in rage. "Don't think you can go about with your nose in the air just because you're Elder Tian Xu's disciple! I'm not afraid of you."

"Fine. Then come down. I promise to not turn you into mincemeat." Lin Fan twirled the mace in his hand.

But Liu Yue dared not do so. She hid behind Jun Wutian instead. Jun Wutian and her elder sister, Liu Ruochen were the reason why she dared to shout at Lin Fan.

She knew that nobody dared to take action against her, but she wasn't confident that Lin Fan would be the same.

Jun Wutian did not expect Elder Tian Xu to come over and take Lin Fan in as his disciple. Not only that, but the direct disciple who would take over Elder Tian Xu's legacy too.

"Junior Brother Lin, this matter will come to an end," Jun Wutian said, full of the imposingness the head of the ten peaks should have.

Of course, he might've been the head of the ten peaks and have a high status in the sect, but if he were to be compared to Elder Tian Xu, he was no better than Lin Fan.

When Jun Wutian had just entered the sect, Elder Tian Xu was already one of the best elders in the sect. Even now that Jun Wutian had become who he was today, he dared not act as he wished.

This was what a difference in ability resulted in. He was helpless when it came to Elder Tian Xu.

However, his impression of Elder Tian Xu had changed negatively after this incident, and Jun Wutian had taken note of this incident.

"Come to an end? Who are you? Why's it coming to an end just because you said so? Didn't you wish to kill me? I'm standing right here, so come and kill me!" Lin Fan took a step forward with a "kill me if you can" expression on his face.

It was obvious that Lin Fan did not want to let the matter rest easily.

He was determined to come up with a proper end, which meant that someone must concede defeat or he would not let this matter off.

"You're sneaky!" Feng Shaoyun chided.

"Yes. Why say anything since you already know?" Lin Fan said calmly. "Find a teacher who will cover you if you can. But I don't think someone like you would be able to do."

These words were quite damaging. Feng Shaoyun clutched his chest, which felt weirdly stuffy, as if there was blood stopped up there.

Jun Wutian swung his sleeve, ready to leave, but he was stopped as soon as he made a move.

"You're trying to run away, huh?" Lin Fan said. "Nobody will look down of you if you just admit you're a coward. You're the head of the ten peaks of the sect, but you don't even dare to kill me!? After cultivating for such a long time, it has all gone to waste."

"You…" Jun Wutian might've been full of worries, but he could not stand being humiliated by an outer disciple who was no more than an ant to him.

He was afraid that, after today, the incident would be known to the entire sect.

"'You…', what you? Come, hit me here. With one attack, I can guarantee you that I'll die." Lin Fan pulled open his shirt and pointed to his chest.

The surrounding disciples stared at each other at a loss for words.

To them, Lin Fan was as courageous as a tiger.

Previously he was suppressed, but within no time, he gained the upper hand in the situation, thus Lin Fan was now embarrassing Senior Brother Jun in public. They had never seen any disciple like Lin Fan, who dared to provoke Jun Wutian in public. He had gained the respect of many disciples.

To Lin Fan, he had already offended Jun Wutian, so he did not mind offending him further.

I'm a petty person.

Since you suppressed me with all your might, then I'll have to tease you to my heart's content now that I can!

Jun Wutian came down from mid-air, wearing a scary expression on his face. He came toward Lin Fan in a hurry. "Okay. You said that I am a coward, right? Then do you dare to take action against me?"

He questioned fiercely.

But as soon as he finished his words:

Bang!

Lin Fan smashed the mace on Jun Wutian's head.

Because Jun Wutian was of a high cultivation, his body was hard, thus the mace ended up cracking slightly while Jun Wutian was fine. My heart hurts a little, but it's alright.

"I do what I say, and that's how a man should act. I will definitely fulfil all your wishes." Lin Fan smacked Jun Wutian again without hesitation.

The surrounding disciples had their jaws dropped. They were dumbfounded by Lin Fan's actions.

The area turned silent.

Liu Yue was in utter disbelief.

And Feng Shaoyun had his eyes wide open and jaw dropped.

Jun Wutian never thought that Lin Fan would dare to attack for real. He could not hold his anger anymore and launched an attack, but before Lin Fan could be injured by the attack, he stopped in his tracks.

"Why? Are you afraid and dare not attack me anymore?" Lin Fan felt slightly nervous. He thought that Jun Wutian really dared to attack him, but it seemed he was overthinking.

As the head of the ten peaks, Jun Wutian murdered anybody he wished. He killed the three elders of the Imperial Sword Pavilion without mercy, yet he couldn't do anything to Lin Fan, an outer disciple.

Just because he was the direct disciple of Elder Tian Xu.

He was dying to kill Lin Fan, but the consequences were not something he could bear.

Ability. It was all because of ability.

If I was as strong as Elder Tian Xu, why would I have such a worry?

Damn it!

Time's up, and I have gotten back my pride. Lin Fan slapped Jun Wutian's hands away and walked toward the sect. He then stopped in his tracks before turning to give the other party a glare. "I have given you the chance, and you're the one who did not treasure it, so you can't act arrogantly with me."

He then continued walking, but his comment could still be heard.

"What head of the ten peaks, you're just a coward."

Jaws dropped.

The surrounding disciples were unable to believe what they just saw.

Senior Brother Lin has gone too far in this situation.

He really is a hooligan!

On the spot, Jun Wutian clenched his fist tightly, veins popping out. This is such an embarrassment!

Chapter 90: Dividing Ill-Gotten Gains; Catch up with Me

Jun Wutian did not leave, and the disciples around him dared not move or make a sound.

Feng Shaoyun and Liu Yue stood at the back, frozen to the spot.

They would never have believed that Lin Fan dared to humiliate Jun Wutian in public if they had not witnessed the scene.

A bone-chilling aura filled the area, making everyone shiver. They could deeply feel how powerful Jun Wutian was.

"Trash!" Jun Wutian gritted his teeth, blood vessels in his eyes bursting. He made a vow in his heart that he would remember today's incident and take revenge by killing Lin Fan. With that, he shot up high and disappeared into thin air.

His aura dispersed within no time.

The crowd heaved a sigh of relief, and whispering could be heard.

"He humiliated Senior Brother Jun in public, let's see what his consequence will be!" Feng Shaoyun sneered.

"Who does he think he is? How dare he offend Senior Brother Jun? I'm waiting to see how pathetic he will be in the future. Will he drop down to his knees? Elder Tian Xu can cover him for now, but not forever!"

"Senior Brother Jun will be the sect leader eventually. We shall see then."

…

At the same time. Lin Fan had already returned to his room. He could feel his heart racing violently on his way back home.

I'm acting cool with my life! Now that I have started this, there's no turning back.

Ah, this feels pleasurable! I'm so happy that I feel like I'm flying! Even my little elephant raised its head, trumpeting.

But I'm well aware that Jun Wutian dares not do anything to me only because I'm Elder Tian Xu's disciple. Elder Tian Xu can protect me now, but not forever. This is enough, though. As long as I have the time, I will be able to grow so that I can be strong on my own and act as I wish. It won't take long either.

"Jun Wuwu, Jun Wutian?" Lin Fan mumbled. He was sure that he had made a mistake. Right before the grandpa died, he must have been in such pain that he was unable to say the last word and ended up repeating the second character!

Yes, that must be the case! Let me roleplay it now. If I am about to die and I wish to name the murderer, won't I only say half of it and leave out the last character?

"Jun… Jun… Wu… Tian." Lin Fan stretched out his hands, stammering and pretending to fall dead. "I'm right. This is it.

"Who are the grandpas, though? Why did Jun Wutian kill them? This is weird. It's such a pity that I can't put the three sovereign swords to use now.

"Eh? Why does it seem that my room is different from how I left it? It's not my style to keep my room this clean!" Lin Fan took a look around his room that was in a neat state right now. He was puzzled by the state. Who would come along to tidy my room for me?

"Junior Brother Lin…"

His senior brother's voice cut his train of thought. Lin Fan pushed the door open immediately. "Senior Brothers, news sure is fast. I only just returned and you already heard of it!"

"Junior Brother, you were gone for such a long time. Did you come across any troubles?"

Zhang Long and the others were looking at Lin Fan anxiously too. Their Junior Brother Lin went on such a long trip and there was no news to be heard, thus all of them were worried for Lin Fan. They were only able to be at ease when they heard that Lin Fan had returned.

"Yes, a lot," Lin Fan said, putting on an exaggerated expression. "I just embarrassed Jun Wutian in front of a crowd at the entrance. If not for him, I would have been back earlier."

When Lu Qiming and the rest registered Lin Fan's words, they were stupefied. All of them stared at Lin Fan with jaws wide open. "Junior Brother, what did you say? Jun Wutian? The Jun Wutian from Heavenly Retribution Peak?"

"Yes. I'm now Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple. Jun Wutian can only blame himself for being embarrassed by me. He is the one that wanted to kill me first. Let's not talk about this anymore. I have brought goods back for Senior Brothers from this trip." Lin Fan smiled and pulled out a pile of items from the storage ring.

A pile of Mortal pills was placed on the tabletop. They weren't much use to Lin Fan, but they would be a big help for his senior brothers.

Among these, the six Gold Essence Pills were the most valuable.

"Junior Brother, what do you mean?" Zhang Long's face fell.

"Nothing much. It's just a gift for my senior brothers," Lin Fan said.

Lu Qiming took a pill and had a closer look. "A Mortal high-class pill! Beast Blood Pill!" Lu Qiming shrieked. "It can increase your qi and blood and give you the power of a beast. This is one of the best pills among all Mortal high-class pills! This gift is too expensive, Junior Brother. Take it yourself or sell it. It's such a waste to give it to us."

Yin Xiaotian and the rest might've craved the pills, but they were aware that Lin Fan must have gone through a lot to get them.

"What do you guys mean?" Lin Fan pretended to be unhappy with Yin Xiaotian and the rest. "Are you looking down on me? If you take me as your family, share these evenly!

"Besides, three days later is the apprentice ceremony for me. By then, I will have as many pills as I need, so these are nothing to me."

Even though they were friends, the damage they received from Lin Fan's words was huge.

This was absolutely angering.

Looking at Lin Fan, Lu Qiming's heart hurt. We are really proud of you, but you can't treat us like this!

"Okay, since it's Junior Brother Lin's good intention, we will take it."

Lin Fan smiled thinly. "That's the way. I'm already an Earth Star Border Stage One, Senior Brothers. All of you must work hard or it will be hard for me to take you out in the future!"

"Stop." Yin Xiaotian stopped Lin Fan immediately. "Junior Brother Lin, we can chat nicely, there's no need for you to bring us so much damage."

"Okay, this bottle of pills is the main thing." Lin Fan opened the bottle and poured out the pills, passing everyone one.

Before Lin Fan could say anything, Zhang Long's face turned pale. He jumped up immediately. "This is a Gold Essence Pill, a Mystic high-class support pill. It can cleanse your entire body and cure all illnesses. It will also increase the efficiency of cultivation drastically. It might be a Mystic high-class pill, but it's more valuable than some Earth pills." Zhang Long waved his hands immediately. "No, this is too much. Junior Brother, you should keep this for yourself."

Lu Qiming was obviously shocked by the pill, as it was something that disciples like them – no, that even most inner disciples would not have.

It was too precious.

One's constitution was inborn. Only external factors like pills or skillsets could change it.

But no matter which method, they were all extremely valuable. For example, this pill could turn a skinny man into a bulky one within no time.

These changes were qualitative.

Lin Fan. "Alright, Senior Brothers, take it. I have already taken a pill, and I will give you five out of the six I currently have. Take them now.

"Do not spread this news out either. It's a burden to keep them with me."

Hearing this, the group's hearts sank. They were now aware that Lin Fan did not get the pills in a just and honorable way. What did Junior Brother Lin experience on this trip?

Huang Fugui was so touched that he cried. He never expected that such sincerity could be found in the sect.

How am I supposed to take in the fact that Junior Brother Lin is now giving us such valuable pills?

At last, when all his senior brothers had pills in their hands, they stared at Lin Fan in a different manner.

It was as if they were boring a hole through Lin Fan's face, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Senior Brothers, go back and take them," Lin Fan said.

When Lu Qiming and the rest left, they patted Lin Fan's shoulder but did not say anything more, as they knew that words weren't needed.

Chapter 91: I Want to Get Stronger

The Gold Essence Pill was highly valuable to everyone except Lin Fan, who cultivated with experience points. Improving his constitution would not do him any good, which made the pills useless to Lin Fan.

"It's such a pity that my mace cracked. I'll have to find a way to mend it." Looking at the crack in the mace that had aided Lin Fan in his numerous achievements, Lin Fan felt his heart hurting. It feels just like my best friend has been killed! I'm unable to calm down!

"Jun Wutian, how dare you destroy my mace? Both of us can't exist in this world at the same time."

I have completed the test to become an inner disciple, but I will only hand the evidence over three days later when I become Elder Tian Xu's disciple. At that moment, I will go and hand the evidence over grandly.

I will not level up the Golden Body Tempering Secret for now. I will see what skillsets I get after I become Elder Tian Xu's disciple three days later, then I shall decide if I will continue cultivating that skillset or give up on it and start cultivating another.

I must cultivate hard and raise my cultivation.

Before this, let me spend 2,000 points on the lottery. It's no fun to just keep them.

"Let's go. Six silver lotteries."

Points -1,800

"Silver lottery: Thank you, please try again.

"Elite lottery: A small remote-controlled grenade."

Chicken nuggets, what on earth is that?

But I'm fearless. It's just the second lottery. There are more to go.

"Silver lottery: Mystic low-class skillset full boost card."

And that was all he got in total.

Lin Fan was confused now. What's a full boost card?

Mystic low-class skillset full boost card: able to level up any mystic low-class skillset to its maximum level. Points will not be deducted.

"Damn, this is such a great item!" Lin Fan said excitedly. He wasn't expecting to get something useful from the 2,000 points he spent, but he did.

Every mystic skillset needs at least ten thousand points for me to get it to the maximum level.

But should I use it now, or save it for later?

I only have the skillset Violent Body that meets the requirements right now.

And Violent Body has nine levels in total. Its first level might not be powerful, but I do not know how the skillset will turn out due to the amount of levels it has in total.

Skillsets are something that get more powerful as they level up.

After some thought, Lin Fan decided to level up Violent Body to its maximum level, as power was extremely important to him.

It's hard to say whether I might offend anybody and die when I leave the sect again.

"Use the full boost card for Violent Body."

Level up!

Level up!

Violent Body (Level 2)

Violent Body (Level 3)

…

Violent Body (Max)

Suddenly, Lin Fan growled. Violent energy surged up in his body, making his bones and skin crack. Blood-filled veins could be seen popping out of his body, repairing the injuries that were caused by the energy in his body.

"I've lost control."

Violent Body (Max)

Traits: Gigantic body, maximum increase in strength, recovery, hard shell.

The table in Lin Fan's room fell over, and cracks could be seen on the floor that was made of brick.

The effects of the maximum level Violent Body was beyond Lin Fan's expectations.

He put out his hands, and he could tell that his arms were four times larger than they were previously. His arms were also covered in with a thin black film. Is this what the hard shell is?

He felt that he had all the strength in the world and that he possessed absolute power in his hands now.

"It's indeed true that incredible changes will be seen in a skillset when it reaches its maximum level. Violent Body might only be a mystic low-class skillset, but the effects that come with it when it's at maximum level are beyond imagination.

"And the traits will be affected by one's strength too. The stronger one is, the more powerful the traits will be.

"It also increased my height to around three meters! I'm now a mini giant."

All Lin Fan's clothes had burst open, leaving only his pants. Wow, this is amazing.

All my skillsets are made to use brute force. I can suppress anything, from skills to speed, with a smack!

Very soon, Lin Fan managed to gain control of the energy surging in his body, and his body returned to its normal state.

"I'm speechless by the skillsets that I choose to cultivate. I will need to prepare a huge amount of clothing and put it in my storage ring, or it will be awkward to end up naked when I come across an enemy."

Everything's done, so I'm going back to cultivate!

I must get to Earth Star Border Stage Two soon. After that incident with Jun Wutian, I am aware that, without absolute strength, you will end up being suppressed by others.

And I do not like that.

Great Emperor Peak:

In a training room, there was an odd-looking space that looked like it was being forced open.

In the odd-looking space stood a man. He wore a scary-looking armor, and he had his eyes shut while standing at his spot straight. He stayed still, but he gave off a mighty aura that made him seem invincible. His will to conquer could be felt distinctly.

Suddenly, a movement could be seen in space. Numerous shadows that bore an uncanny resemblance to the man showed up. Each and every one of them was wearing armor too, but their faces were covered up by the black colored fog, hiding their true identity.

At the same time, the man opened his eyes. The strong aura of death lingered in the air, and the space that was once peaceful could no longer be seen.

"Kill!"

The man may have been unarmed, but he was able to control a hundred soldiers. He launched an attack that held unknown force, destroying every single enemy that was in front of him.

After overcoming all his inner demons, the man put his hands together and merged his inner demons into one, making it into a pill.

The space shattered, and the man walked out of the space.

As an inner disciple, Lu Daosheng was full of respect for the man in black armor. "Greetings, Senior Brother. Junior Brother congratulates you for overcoming all your inner demons."

"Mm. Junior Brother Lu, I have called you here today because I have a query. Do you know the person whom Elder Tian Xu has taken in as his disciple?" Zhan Hongdi asked.

"He's an acquaintance of mine," Lu Daosheng answered truthfully.

"Oh?" Zhan Hongdi looked at Lu Daosheng with great interest. "Tell me about it. I want to know how different he is that he could become favored by Elder Tian Xu and even humiliate Jun Wutian in front of a crowd.

"Jun Wutian is the head of the ten peaks and has the highest cultivation of us all. There's nobody who dares to offend him. I do not believe that, after being humiliated by an outer disciple, he could still call himself the head of the ten peaks."

Lu Daosheng stood at the side, not making any comments. There were ten peaks in total; he was part of Great Emperor Peak, and he cultivated with his senior brother, Zhan Hongdi.

There had always been a strong competition among the ten peaks for the position of sect leader.

But Jun Wutian had always suppressed the other peak leaders, coming in as the best amongst them.

Never would Lu Daosheng have dreamt that an outer disciple whom he knew slightly would be able to improve at such a shocking speed. Within no time, he had become Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple and even humiliated Jun Wutian in public. The entire sect was taken aback by this piece of news.

"Interesting. This is interesting." Zhan Hongdi laughed after hearing from Lu Daosheng. Lu Daosheng had told him all that he knew.

"Junior Brother Lu, Senior Brother sees that you're at the peak of Earth Star Border Stage Five. I'll give you this Star Breaking Demon Pill, you will be able to get to Earth Star Border Stage Six with it." Zhang Hongdi raised his fingers slightly and gave Lu Daosheng the pill that he had just made.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Lu Daosheng responded happily.

The Star Breaking Demon Pill was a pill that was extremely hard to make. One would need to overcome all their inner demons and congeal the purest form of energy of the inner demons together. The Star Breaking Demon Pill in Lu Daosheng's hands was made of Zhang Hongdi's inner demons' energy, thus the power of the pill was extremely great.

"Haha, I'm going to make a trip to Heaven's Retribution Peak to congratulate Jun Wutian."

Lu Daosheng looked down. Every peak leader was the best among all the disciples in the sect. They were also candidates for sect leader, so they were locked in constant strife.

And he was part of Great Emperor Peak and also a trusted aide of Zhang Hongdi. If Zhan Hongdi became the sect leader successfully, he would become part of the sect's core.

Some people pursue strength, while others pursue authority.

And Lu Daosheng was the latter.

Chapter 92: Oath

Three days later, Lin Fan opened his eyes, wearing a smile on his face.

To a cultivating madman like him, as soon as he started, he would not stop unless something happened. He had been cultivating constantly over the past three days. Every time he felt tired, whether physically or mentally, he would commit suicide and revive.

Power is my safeguard. If I do not wish to get killed, then I have to work hard and improve.

He pressed on the () to increase his cultivation.

Earth energy could be felt bursting out, surrounding Lin Fan entirely. Earth energy cleansed his bones. The Earth Inner Core in his dantian was spinning rapidly too, drawing earth energy all toward it as it became the center of an outburst and grew larger as time passed.

He had already gotten four skillsets to their maximum level, and Lin Fan currently had a strong foundation. Thus, Lin Fan was a solid Earth Star Border Stage Two after levelling up, not one that had the realm but not the corresponding ability.

But that wasn't what excited Lin Fan the most. As an Earth Star Border Stage Two, his earth energy would be able to leave his body and make an attack about a hundred meters away from where he was. It might have just been a difference of one stage, but the increase in ability was qualitative.

Experience points -1,000,000.

Cultivation: Earth Star Border Stage Two ()

"Wow, the points required after I breaking through to the Earth Star Border Realm is terrifying," Lin Fan mumbled.

As the basic realm, the Body Tempering Realm required fewer experience points.

About two hundred thousand experience points were required to level up from Body Tempering Stage Nine to Earth Star Border Stage One, but one million were required to level up from Earth Star Border Stage One to Earth Star Border Stage Two.

When Lin Fan cultivated the Golden Body Tempering Secret, he only gained three experience points per second. It wasn't slow, but how many points would he require when he wanted to level up to Earth Star Border Stage Three or an even higher realm?

That was why Lin Fan believed that he needed to have a good skillset. It wasn't a bad idea to improve the class of the Golden Body Tempering Secret either.

"Grandpas, rest at ease. I will take revenge for all of you since you have given me such a precious treasure before your deaths.

"I might be weak now, but I can already anger Jun Wutian. This is a big improvement."

My heart hurts thinking about the grandpas who have died. How could Jun Wutian do that? It's so inhumane.

I can't tolerate this anymore.

Let me check my status.

Name: Lin Fan

Cultivation: Earth Star Border Stage Two ()

Experience Points: 33,070

Points: 200

Talent: Immortality, Ultraprecise Blade Claw

Specialty: Golden Body Tempering Secret (3)

Skills: Violent Mace (Max), Cruel Blood (Max), Mountain Quake Energy (Max), Violent Body (Max), Transformation into God Swordsmanship (Level 1)

Lottery: Bronze (100), Silver (300), yet to be unlocked.

Wow, I have done well on the whole, but I still have to work hard.

"Junior Brother Lin, the apprentice ceremony is about to take place soon. Hurry up!" Lin Fan could hear Lu Qiming's voice coming from his door. Lu Qiming might've been chubby, but he was hardworking and efficient.

After taking the Gold Essence Pill and the other pills, his cultivation increased by a stage.

He might've still been weak, but it was a good start.

In the atrium, the ground was paved with jade, and numerous disciples stood at the side. They were here to observe the ceremony, and it was a spectacular scene.

Many were envious of the disciple who was going to become Elder Tian Xu's disciple – direct disciple, to be exact – soon. They were envious of what a powerful support the disciple would soon have and how powerful he was going to become in just a day.

To the outer disciples, they were curious about who the lucky disciple was.

As for the inner disciples, they were just filled with jealously and envy.

Elder Tian Xu sat on the throne. There was an elderly man with red hair standing next to him, staring blankly into space. He looked calm, but he also looked like he was about to burn holes into the space he was staring at.

"Tian Xu, you're being too frivolous this time around," the red-haired elder said. He felt that it was stupid for Tian Xu to take in an outer disciple as his direct disciple.

Especially one who had humiliated Jun Wutian in public. This matter made many elders in the sect dislike Lin Fan, as they felt that he was too arrogant and petty.

Tian Xu smiled, caressing his beard. He did not give a reply, but the expression on his face indicated how confident he was with his judgement. He believed that he had made the right choice.

The red-haired elder took a look at the empty seats that were set up for the ten peak leaders. It was obvious what the peak leaders were trying to convey with their absences.

Many thought that the leaders were unhappy with the incident and that the matter of Elder Tian Xu taking in a direct disciple was insignificant to them.

But in reality, the peak leaders wanted Lin Fan to know that, even if he gained power in a day and was Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple now, he would not gain their respect; Lin Fan was still nowhere near them.

"The apprentice ceremony begins!"

Boom!

A bell rang across the sect, passing into the sky. Clouds scattered all over the place, exposing the sect to the flaming sun in the sky. Sun rays shone down onto the sect, making it glimmer.

A figure could be seen on the pathway paved with jade.

Lin Fan was dressed formally for the apprentice ceremony. He wore a blue gown with patterns of clouds on it. He also wore an ancient crown hair accessory on his head, and his hair on the side swayed with the wind. Standing straight up, Lin Fan looked refreshing and handsome, unlike the past.

"Junior Brother Lin looks so different today," Huang Fugui gasped.

"We'll have to call him Senior Brother Lin from now on." Zhang Long laughed. They were truly happy for Lin Fan and happy for themselves as well. If Lin Fan got stronger, it meant that they would have a support behind them.

"That's why I am calling him Junior Brother now," Huang Fugui replied. "After the ceremony, he will be our senior brother."

Some female outer disciples were aware of who Lin Fan was, and they knew what happened in the arena back then too, but the Lin Fan that was currently standing in front of them gave off a different vibe.

Violent, barbaric, gentle, elegant, and handsome… with all these qualities, Lin Fan was able to have all the female disciples screaming for him.

"Senior Brother Lin is so good-looking…."

Amongst the crowd stood a woman who was staring at Lin Fan with heart eyes. Her surroundings had disappeared to her, and she could only see her Senior Brother Lin standing in front of her.

Mu Ling watched Lin Fan silently. Unlike the other female disciples, she did not cheer for Lin Fan as she knew how points-deducting her looks were.

She only wanted to look at him quietly. Being able to see him was a blessing.

Looking at Lin Fan, Elder Tian Xu caressed his beard and nodded in satisfaction. "This kiddo is just like me. The only difference is that he's younger and still lacking a bit," he mumbled to himself.

Elder Tian Xu did not hope that Lin Fan would do extremely well. He just hoped that his new disciple could reach seventy percent of his power.

Lin Fan came to the steps. He shook his gown to the side and kneeled down on one knee. "Your humble disciple Lin Fan greets Master."

"Mm." Elder Tian Xu nodded. "Get up."

"I, Tian Xu, swear that I will take in outer disciple Lin Fan as my direct disciple. He will carry on my legacy, and I'll guide him with all my heart. Heaven and earth will not tolerate a violation of this oath!"

He said the last sentence strong and loud, as if making a connection with heaven and earth.

The red-haired elder's face fell. Elder Tian Xu was making an oath to heaven and earth.

Lin Fan looked up, and he could feel a mysterious power surrounding Elder Tian Xu as if everything he said was heard and witnessed by heaven and earth.

"This is getting serious," Lin Fan mumbled to himself.

As for the red-haired elder, he never thought that Tian Xu would make an oath. This meant that he sincerely hoped to take Lin Fan in as his direct disciple.

Nobody would make an oath normally when they conducted an apprentice ceremony.

And it proved that Tian Xu indeed wanted to hand everything to Lin Fan. Why? Did his cultivation go wrong and turn him crazy?

Chapter 93: Can I Go Against the Oath?

Liu Yue stood amongst the crowd, watching the ceremony with hatred on her face. Her blood boiled when she saw Lin Fan moving up. Unfair! Why is he so lucky?

If she did not have any grievance with Lin Fan, she might have even thrown herself at Lin Fan and claim connections with him.

No matter what, he was the disciple of Elder Tian Xu, the elder who possessed great strength and an extremely high status in the sect. He was one of the most powerful elders in the entire sect.

But Lin Fan embarrassed me in public, and he even wanted to hammer me to death! Since that's the case, we'll be enemies!

On the other hand, Liu Ruochen was calm about this matter. "I see that he knew how stupid he was to reject Elder Tian Xu. He's smart enough to take his words back now. But if he believes that he can gain success just by doing that, then he's being delusional. His strength is what matters in the end."

Hearing Liu Ruochen's words, a smile could be seen on Liu Yue's face. "Elder Sister, he's now Elder Tian Xu's disciple. He'll be different from now on, and he will play a big role in the sect. With the help of Elder Tian Xu, he might even establish the eleventh peak."

Liu Ruochen did not reply. She stared at Liu Yue coldly instead. "I brought you to the sect from the village to let you have a greater view of the world, not for you to make use of my name and fool around outside. I'll never let you go out if that ever happens again."

Liu Yue was most afraid of her sister. "I'm sorry, Elder Sister." She shuddered.

Liu Ruochen said nothing more and replied to Liu Yue's question. "There are ten peaks in the sect, and to establish the eleventh peak, you would not only need status but ability too.

"It's suicidal if you try to compete for the position of sect leader. It's useless even if he has the help of Elder Tian Xu. Do you think the other elders would just sit and watch that take place?

"It's a mess whether you look at it internally or externally. The position of sect leader is not something just anyone can have their eyes on."

Liu Yue said nothing. She knew that her sister had huge ambitions and was aiming to establish the eleventh peak. However, she was not capable of doing so. She lacked the ability and experience. It was now just Liu Ruochen's hopeless illusion.

Liu Yue was aware that a religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect favored Liu Ruochen, but because of her sister's pride, the religious brother was rejected.

Liu Yue had seen the religious brother before. He was talented, good-looking, and stood high above the world. When he came to the Magnificent Flame Sect, the sect leader would even have to greet him personally, which showed how well-respected he was.

If Liu Yue were in Liu Ruochen's position, she would surely not reject the religious brother. Who would dare to offend me if I was the religious brother's wife?

Even this guy here would not be able to do anything to me despite Elder Tian Xu's protection. He would have to kneel down to me if I said so. That's what status and power can do.

Jun Wutian did not attend the ceremony because he was afraid that he would be unable to hold back his anger and kill Lin Fan on impulse.

As for the other peak leaders, some were not in the sect while some were spectating. They did not have any comments.

With their status, a small act from them would be able to cause an uproar.

Or maybe to them, Lin Fan would not be a threat to them even if he had Elder Tian Xu as his master.

All ten peaks had elders supporting them, and Elder Tian Xu had always stayed neutral on their matters. He never took sides with any of them.

At the same time, they did not really care about this ceremony. They had already decided that, if Lin Fan ever offended them, they would just close an eye to Lin Fan and let him go for the sake of Elder Tian Xu.

Even Jun Wutian, who always seemed to stand at the top of the world, was behaving carefully, not daring to act frivolously with the fear of offending Elder Tian Xu.

He's such a scaredy-cat.

…

The apprentice ceremony ended, and the crowd dispersed.

Lin Fan left with Elder Tian Xu.

This situation was extremely beneficial to Lin Fan, but he did not expect Elder Tian Xu to be so serious about taking him as his disciple. He has even sworn an oath!

What should I do now?

If you're doing it for real, then c'mon! I'm not afraid.

I, Lin Fan, do not have the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog. I'll treat anybody that treats me nicely well. On the other hand, if you're mean to me, I'll smash you to your death. (TL note 1)

That's how domineering life should be!

On a cliff, with snow-white clouds scattered across the sky, there was only Lin Fan and Elder Tian Xu left on the scene.

He did not say anything, he simply waited for his master to speak. Normally, the master would make a speech and give his disciple some advice first.

And indeed, Elder Tian Xu stood there with his arms behind his back, staring somewhere into the distance. "Disciple, after I took you in as my direct disciple, many elders said that I'm being frivolous and I should not do this…."

Hearing him, Lin Fan couldn't help but mumble. Am I that bad?

"Master, then why did you take me in as your disciple?" Lin Fan put on a calm expression. I'll leave the cursing aside for now. When I get the chance, I will use those elders who bad-mouthed me as practice.

"Because when I first saw you, I saw the good in you."

Hearing this, Lin Fan was unable to remain calm anymore. He looked around himself. There's good in me? Is it because I shine too bright, making me give off some kind of aura unintentionally?

Soon after, Elder Tian Xu said, "Without insight, you can only see what's on the surface, but with insight, you can see the origin and essence of everything.

"Master does not need you to be higher than the peak, near the peak is enough."

Those words were touching, but why did they sound weirder toward the end? Are you praising me or yourself?

Shameless.

You're just praising me to give yourself a head start so you can blow your own trumpet later. Such a smooth and skilled transaction.

But as the master, everything you say is correct. I'll just listen and take anything good that you give me.

"Master, you're absolutely right," Lin Fan said.

Elder Tian Xu nodded in satisfaction. "Since you're now my disciple, master won't let you suffer. Here are some skillsets for you. Learn them slowly and ask when you have questions."

Lin Fan was extremely excited. Finally, that's the main point!

"Now you're already in an Earth Star Border Stage Two, you have a strong foundation. Take this bottle of pills and take one every day. After a month, come and get some more from me.

"And this Earth-level middle-class weapon – the weapon that I used when I was younger. It has been with me for a long time, but I have not put it to use for a while. It's time for it to see light again.

"It might not be a high-class weapon, but it has been with me for all my life, and the credit for my achievements in this lifetime goes to it."

A pike appeared out of nowhere.

Elder Tian Xu caressed the pike, as if it reminded him of his youth. He was reluctant to part with the pike.

"Master, your humble disciple has something to say," Lin Fan spoke up. "I do not use pikes as my weapon. I used a mace, but it was ruined. I hope Master can help fix my mace."

Lin Fan took out his mace that was in a disastrous state. Elder Tian Xu was slightly taken aback, but he let out a sigh at last.

"Haish, since you have a route that you wish to take, Master will fix this for you."

The mace was sucked out of Lin Fan's hands into Elder Tian Xu's hands. "It's of a lower quality." He then threw the mace up into the air and surrounded it with mysterious energy before changing it into a fundamental state.

Lin Fan waited slowly. He was curious to see what his mace would look like after Elder Tian Xu fixed it for him.

Crack!

A clear crack could be heard.

Lin Fan was extremely shocked.

The next second, Elder Tian Xu could be seen throwing his precious pike up into the air and refining it without hesitation.

"Isn't that pike your old buddy? You're merciless!" Lin Fan mumbled to himself.

But his gaze was fixed to the middle of the air. He could see the two different materials fusing into a new mace, which looked way cooler than the one Lin Fan owned originally. It was silver in color, and it shone brightly under the sun.

"Oh, it's at its limit. What should I do with the materials left over?" Elder Tian Xu mumbled.

"Master," Lin Fan spoke up without hesitation. "Can you make disciple a frying pan with the materials left over?"

"Frying pan?" Elder Tian Xu was at a loss.

Under Lin Fan's description, Elder Tian Xu finally understood what Lin Fan meant. However, he was still confused. What kind of weapon is this?

When Lin Fan got his hands on both weapons, he felt extremely powerful.

A mace in his right and a frying pan in the left. Who would be able to take the joint attack of a frying pan and a mace?

Seeing that Lin Fan was happy with the weapons, Elder Tian Xu nodded happily. "Okay, you may leave. Master will take my leave now. Work hard."

"Hold on…." Hearing him, Lin Fan immediately stopped Elder Tian Xu.

Elder Tian Xu turned back, confused. What's wrong? Does he perhaps wish to thank me? Elder Tian Xu came to the conclusion after some thought.

But there's no need to. This is something that I, as his master, should do.

"Master, these skillsets aren't suitable for me. Can I change them…?" Lin Fan felt that the skillsets he had gotten were more graceful, and some were unusual skills. It was different from his usual style.

Elder Tian Xu's heart sank after hearing this. This disciple is a tad bit troublesome, huh?

Can I go against my oath?

Report chapter

Chapter 94: Are There Any Other Skillsets?

Since I have a venerable elder as my master right now, then I have to seize the chance! How could I just let it pass?

These skillsets that I have just gotten might be special, but they do not match my style well. It would be too pitiful if I had to use great effort to get used to a completely new style.

I am not someone who would do that.

"What type of skillset would you prefer?" Elder Tian Xu took in a deep breath to calm himself down. For the past few minutes, he had been constantly reminding himself that Lin Fan was his direct disciple and that he would need to leave a wonderful and caring impression in his disciple's heart.

After some thought, Lin Fan decided to cut straight to the point. Look at my mace and frying pan! How domineering do these weapons look? If I could get a more violent skillset, I would become a walking piledriver!

"Master, do you have skillsets that will allow me to gain enormous strength in an instant?" Lin Fan asked.

Elder Tian Xu eyed Lin Fan weirdly. "What do you need them for?" he asked hesitantly.

Nobody would make use of such skillsets except as their last resort because the side-effects were too severe for anyone to shoulder. Elder Tian Xu certainly did not want Lin Fan to spend any effort on such skillsets, as sending his disciple off to heaven was something that Elder Tian Xu never wanted to see happen.

Having someone to care for him when he grew old was another reason why he chose to take in a direct disciple.

"Master, with such a skillset, I will be able to save my life in exchange for some small side-effects when I come across any danger in the future."

"Disciple, are you suggesting that Master is unable to keep you safe?" Elder Tian Xu eyed Lin Fan angrily.

"Master, you're a renowned and formidable figure, you can definitely keep me safe, but with such a skillset, I would be able to protect myself when I come across any special circumstances. I hope Master can agree to my request," Lin Fan said, looking serious. I really need those skillsets!

Elder Tian Xu remained silent. To Lin Fan, Elder Tian Xu was considering his request.

But he was unaware of was that Elder Tian Xu was just trying to figure out which skillset he should give to Lin Fan.

Extreme Wipe Out Body: a skillset that allowed the cultivator to exert strength that was three times higher than normal, but it came with the price of death. No, that won't do.

Hunyuan Devil's Heart: a skillset that summoned a demon into the cultivator's body. It came with the price of having one's IQ decreased, and the cultivator would turn into a madman who was only hungry for blood. This skillset won't do either.

At last, Elder Tian Xu finally decided on a skillset. This was the one that he was most reassured with letting Lin Fan have.

Magic of the Seven Gods. Elder Tian Xu had gotten this skillset by chance. It was highly related to the seven spirits living in a human's seven vital organs.

If the cultivator was able to wake the spirits up, they would be able to exert force far beyond their own power. The seven spirits were: God of Internals Zhongchi, God of Violence Tianzhong, God of Existence Zhidao, God of Earth Baigu, God of Heaven Lingtian, God of Vitality Sanguan, and the God of Rebellion Wuhang.

This skillset would wake up all seven spirits in the cultivator's body and allow them to exert unimaginable force and gain incomparable strength.

If one managed to wake all seven spirts, they would end up losing their cultivation and become a muggle, but it would not endanger the cultivator's life.

At the same time, the method to wake up the God of Rebellion Wuhang was missing, so it was impossible for anyone to wake up all seven of their spirits. Thus, even if Lin Fan managed to wake up all six of the other spirits, he would only end up being in poor health for about two years. Nothing else would go wrong.

Thus, Elder Tian Xu said nothing more and threw the skillset to Lin Fan.

"You can try this skillset. This is the only skillset that master has that makes use of brute force," Elder Tian Xu said. "Oh, this is a special skillset! It's a treasure of mine! And there's a secret behind it. Even deities have picked up this skillset."

Lin Fan took the skillset with suspicion. He did not reply to Elder Tian Xu's words.

Magic of the Seven Gods!

The title sounded cool.

"Sixty thousand points to learn Magic of the Seven Gods."

"Yes."

"Insufficient points."

I might not have sufficient points right now, but I can still dream.

But from the points, I can tell that this skillset is a tad bit more powerful than the Transformation into God Swordsmanship.

Interesting. Very interesting.

But this isn't enough. Lin Fan kept the skillset and cackled. "Master, do you have those kinds of skillsets that make your body explode or something?"

"What do you want them for?" Elder Tian Xu stared at Lin Fan weirdly.

"Master," Lin Fan answered after a short pause. "There's nothing I plan to do with them. I just hope to learn some of these skillsets. What if one day, your disciple was humiliated and could not escape? I could use an explosive skillset to kill both myself and the enemy! There's nothing to lose, right?"

"No." Elder Tian Xu rejected without hesitation. "I have no such skillsets. And your words make Master unhappy. With Master around, there wouldn't be anyone that would dare to touch you. Let's not speak about this anymore. Master will take my leave, and you shall return and cultivate hard. If I learn that you're slacking off, I'll take action against you," Elder Tian Xu said unhappily.

"Master…!" Lin Fan called after him, but Elder Tian Xu did not want to continue the conversation anymore. He was taken aback by the terrifying skillsets that his disciple kept asking him for.

Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

I guess I will have to get them on my own if I want skillsets.

But the Magic of the Seven Gods is a good skillset. From the points required, I can tell it's even more powerful than the Transformation into God Swordsmanship.

Now that I'm broke, I must think of a way to earn points again.

Back in his room, Lin Fan took out another skillset.

Qingxu Taoism Spell.

Comparing it to the Golden Body Tempering Secret, the Qingxu Taoism Spell was obviously of better quality and a higher class, but the cultivator would have to be enlightened by staying focused. It did not have any impacts on one physically.

I have immortality and I always pick up skills that use brute force, so it's not going to be very useful if I suddenly decide to learn this type of skillset.

It's a scary thing to cultivate without a fixed style.

Even though the Golden Body Tempering Secret is only a Mortal high-class skillset, I can raise it up to the Mystic level with my talent!

My Mystic skills creation guide book is still waiting for me.

I'll leave my cultivation at Earth Star Border Stage Two for now. Let me upgrade the Golden Body Tempering Secret to Mystic level first.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged. He took out the small notebook that he used for recording and started his cultivation journey.

In the inner disciple's residence, Liu Yue was currently boiling with anger. She had never been this angry before. Feng Shaoyun was sitting across from her with a serious expression on as if he was in deep thought.

Suddenly, his face lit up. Feng Shaoyun had an idea.

"Junior Sister Liu, I have an idea!" Feng Shaoyun laughed.

Liu Yue's appearance might've been like a goddess, but there was nothing inside her. She was just like a vase: gorgeous on the outside and empty on the inside. Without a capable sister, she might've died already.

"Senior Brother, what idea do you have?"

"Junior Sister, do you remember the reason that he left the sect?"

Liu Yue was slightly taken aback, but she got Feng Shaoyun's idea within no time. "Senior Brother, you're smart! He's going to complete his mission and take part in the inner disciple assessment."

"That's right." Feng Shaoyun nodded. "Elder Tian Xu might be his master now, but it's not a short cut. How would things turn out if he was still an outer disciple, taking the sect's rules into consideration?"

"Great idea, Senior Brother." Liu Yue was delighted to hear Feng Shaoyun.

Seeing Liu Yue's pretty smile, Feng Shaoyun nearly could not hold himself back anymore, but he did.

Chapter 95: This is Interesting

In Lin Fan's room, the Tai Sovereign Sword was placed next to Lin Fan. With a slash, Lin Fan's body trembled and turn lifeless.

Ten seconds later, Lin Fan opened his eyes. The sky had already lit up.

"It's such a pity that I failed." Lin Fan scratched his head. He looked at the recordings in his notebook with satisfaction. It might not be easy, but luckily, I have infinite tries. There's still a huge improvement seeing the results of my experiments.

The traits of the Golden Body Tempering Secret when it reaches the Mystic level should be great.

Undying body and expansion of muscles are not enough for me now. I must level it up and unlock more traits.

"Today's a good day. I'll go and submit the mission that I have completed so I will be eligible for the test. After I become an inner disciple, I'll have more freedom," Lin Fan mumbled. He fell from the sky and smashed his target to death the previous time. I did not even get to bring out my skills!

The Magnificent Flame Sect is so troublesome! You have to complete a mission to be eligible for the test, and you will only be a third-class inner disciple if you manage to pass the test.

"There are so many people suppressing me, but I still offended that Jun Wutian from Heaven's Retribution Peak when I'm powerless!" Lin Fan laughed. This is dope! I'm the best in the world. There's nobody who is more powerful than me!

Luckily, things have been developing in a good way instead of getting worse.

After making sure that there were no bloodstains on the floor, Lin Fan took his leave.

The three sovereign swords were great weapons. Lin Fan might not have found out the actual uses for the swords yet, but they were perfect for suicide since they didn't make one bleed when being killed, unlike in the past where the entire ground was covered with blood when he committed suicide.

Hall of the Inner Sect:

"Here to submit the completed mission." Lin Fan took out the badge that belonged to the evil cultivator, Jiang Gu. This was the proof that Lin Fan had completed the mission. Oh, I did not even get to show off my ability and he's dead! That's so sad to die without knowing what's going on.

A disciple in a white robe came to receive Lin Fan. He took a look at him and immediately recognized that Lin Fan was the lucky disciple that Elder Tian Xu took in. However, he also knew that Lin Fan had offended Jun Wutian, so many disciples were not willing to get close to him.

Jun Wutian might not have taken action yet, but that did not mean that he would stay silent forever.

If they were too close, they might get into trouble.

"Come over tomorrow for the test." After getting the procedures done, the disciple wasn't willing to say more to Lin Fan. He left as if he had met a Wen Shen. (TL note 1)

Lin Fan chuckled. So what if you're unfriendly now? I will not pay attention to you when you're being friendly to me in the future.

After Lin Fan left, Liu Yue came to the disciple that received Lin Fan.

"Junior Brother…" she said, sounding soft and sweet, making the disciple shudder. When he saw Liu Yue, he stammered. "Senior Sister Liu…."

Liu Yue was one of the most active and beautiful disciples in the inner sect.

It was unknown how many inner disciples had fallen head-over-heels for her.

And he was just a disciple who was in charge of arranging the test for soon-to-be inner disciples. He could only look at Liu Yue from afar; it was impossible for him to play with her.

But this Senior Sister Liu had just spoken to him! How excited and happy that made him!

"Junior Brother, can Senior Sister ask you a question? Who will he be put against tomorrow?" Liu Yue asked softly. She had uncountable ways to toy with her admirers and control them.

"Hold on, Senior Sister, let me take a look," the disciple said, looking through the records. "A third-class inner disciple, Wang Yan."

Liu Yue frowned and took the book. Wang Yan, Earth Star Border Stage One. His cultivation is too low. She then put her eyes on a name. A smile crept up the corner of Liu Yue's mouth.

"Junior Brother, Senior Sister thinks that this disciple is the most suitable choice. What do you think?" Liu Yue said, pointing to a name.

"Senior Sister, this…" The disciple in white was shocked to see the name. Worries were written all across his face.

But before he could finish his words, he saw Liu Yue's puppy-dog eyes, which made him give in immediately. "I get it, Senior Sister." He nodded.

Qin Shan, Earth Star Border Stage Four, and has mental problems.

…

"Junior Sister Liu, how did it go?" Feng Shaoyun came to Liu Yue and asked.

"I have settled it." Liu Yue smiled cunningly.

"Who did you pick for him?" Feng Shaoyun asked. The reason that Liu Yue went instead of him was that Liu Yue would surely succeed while he was incapable of doing so.

"Qin Shan."

Hearing the name, Feng Shaoyun couldn't help but take in a deep breath. "Qin Shan, that madman? That guy went crazy after his elder brother died during the war. He's okay at times and bad at times. Would anything go wrong if he's the one going up against Lin Fan?"

"How could it be that nothing goes wrong?" Liu Yue said.

The next day, Lu Qiming and the others were already waiting for Lin Fan outside his room. Now, they had changed their way of addressing him. He was their Senior Brother Lin now.

Initially, Lin Fan could not get used to it, but as time passed, Lin Fan felt that it wasn't bad to be called Senior Brother Lin.

"Senior Brother Lin, today is the test. I'm sure that you'll make it," Huang Fugui said.

"Of course," Lin Fan said. "Who would succeed if even I don't?"

It's just a small test, what's the big deal about it?

If I fail to become an inner disciple with my strength, then nobody in this sect would pass.

To Lu Qiming and the others, Lin Fan would definitely pass the test. It wasn't difficult to pass the test to become a third-class inner disciple. During the test, the candidate would be put against an inner disciple around the same stage. They were not required to win over the other party; as long as they could keep it up for five minutes, then they would be considered to have succeeded.

Among the others, Zhang Long was the closest to the Earth Star Border Realm. As soon as he managed to break through, he would be eligible to take part in the test.

And he wasn't far from that day as he was already at the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.

Many disciples had registered for the test, but it did not take long for it to be Lin Fan's turn.

"First-class outer disciple Lin Fan, please report for the test!" a disciple from the Hall of the Inner Sect shouted.

The crowd looked over to Lin Fan, who was very popular currently. They all looked at him green with envy – envious that he was chosen to be Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple.

Somewhere far away, Liu Yue and the others were watching the scene. She had a smirk hanging on her face. She could already see how badly injured Lin Fan would end up being.

"Senior Brother, all the best!" Huang Fugui said.

Lin Fan walked toward the circle of light calmly. Soon, a force came, surrounding him. When he opened his eyes, he was in the ring.

To the spectating disciples, there weren't any changes to be seen. To them, there was only a layer of light separating them from the ring.

Lin Fan took a look around. This place is strange, I wonder which past master opened this space up.

Boom!

Just then, Lin Fan heard a vibration. When he looked over, he saw a foolish-looking but huge man walking toward him.

Huang Fugui and the rest were discussing where to celebrate Lin Fan's success.

Suddenly, everyone had their jaws dropped.

"How could it be Qin Shan? How could Qin Shan be going against Senior Brother Lin?" Lu Qiming shrieked.

Qin Shan was not a popular figure in the sect originally, but he became popular due to him becoming an Earth Star Border Stage Four despite being mentally unfit.

This is so unfair!

The disciple that set Lin Fan up against Qin Shan had a shocked expression on his face too. He knew what was going on, but he pretended not to.

"Oh no, something went wrong…."

Other spectating disciples let out screams too.

"This is so unlucky. It's Qin Shan! Lady Luck must not be on Lin Fan's side."

"Qin Shan is an Earth Star Border Stage Four. He's very powerful!"

"Why is Qin Shan even put to go against these candidates? Do they not want to let them pass?"

"No matter how powerful Senior Brother Lin is, he would never be Qin Shan's opponent. The results are clear. There's no need for us to watch this competition."

Just at this time, everyone present was extremely shocked.

It's an unfair test!

The difference in power was too huge!

In the ring, Lin Fan watched the icy-looking and muscular guy walk out. He looked strong and powerful.

"It's the inner sect, of course it wouldn't be an ordinary test. If it's too simple, how could I experience how good the inner sect disciples are?

"Such a strong will to fight.

"Interesting. This is interesting."

Chapter 96: Not Used to This Style

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Observing the inner sect test, two elder sat cross-legged. They were hidden from the crowd near the arena, but they could see everything that was going on.

"That disciple should be Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple. But why is he being put against Qin Shan? There's something wrong with the arrangement." One of the elders was surprised.

The other elder opened his eyes slightly and looked away. "Let things be. It should be Jun Wutian who did this to teach this outer disciple a lesson."

"But he's Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple! How are we going to take responsibility for it if something bad happens to him?"

"How can anything happen with us around? But Jun Wutian is so disappointing. He's the head of the first peak and the candidate with the most potential to be the next sect leader yet he's so petty! What will the sect become when he takes over?"

Haish!

Haish!

The elders sighed and tacitly agreed that Jun Wutian was a petty person who took revenge on an outer disciple.

On Heaven's Retribution Peak, Jun Wutian was filled with determination. Even though he was furious with the incident that took place previously, he had been cultivating hard these days. Now, he was about to break through to the Heaven Star Border Realm.

However, just when he was concentrating, a special sense alerted him that, very near to him, there was someone who was talking about him.

But he did not know who and did not care about it.

…

Lin Fan took a glance at the bulky, tall, and fierce-looking disciple that he was going to go against. However, there was something weird about him.

Lin Fan was slightly confused by the person standing in front of him, who was constantly swaying his head, looking as if he was deep in thought.

But none of that mattered to him. Since it was a test, he was going to do it with his own ability, not his mace. The last thing Lin Fan waned was to smash someone into mincemeat in the sect. He seems strong too, physically. We should be able to go hard for quite a while.

"Senior Brother, please guide me true." Lin Fan bowed, greeting the other party. Etiquette is a must.

"Ah!" All of a sudden, Qin Shan went mad. His eyes turned red as he punched into thin air. He launched an attack and came for Lin Fan.

Being an Earth Star Border Stage Four, Qin Shan's earth energy was now outside of his body. His punch came with strong earth energy, and his attack was so powerful that the air shook.

"Interesting, but there's no need to be so extreme!" Lin Fan didn't expect the other party to attack him so suddenly just because they were opponents, but he was happy with how things turned out since it would only be fun if it was violent.

Outside of the arena, Liu Yue was happy to see the scene. She did not expect that she would be so lucky to have Qin Shan going mad immediately. When he was in a muddled state, he was never lenient. Most who came across him would end up dying.

Boom!

Both bodies collided, making earth energy spread all over the place.

Lin Fan was jolted. His Earth Inner Core started spinning at a fast speed, covering his body with earth energy. Wow! Lin Fan was pleasantly surprised as he moved back. He's so strong! I actually lost the first exchange.

"Earth Star Border Stage Four… this is such a hard test." Lin Fan moved back, looking in front seriously. He underestimated the other party, but after the attack, he realized that Qin Shan was extremely strong.

"Die, all shall die!" Qin Shan gritted his teeth, facial muscles twitching. He bent his arms, feeling stronger. His aura had obviously changed, and steam could be seen coming from his body. "You must die…!"

Feeling his aura, Lin Fan smiled thinly. "Interesting. In that case, come at me!

"Cruel Blood!"

Blood tattoos could be seen on Lin Fan's body, and blood dragons coiled up onto Lin Fan. I must give the senior the respect he deserves, he thought as blood tattoos covered his entire body.

"C'mon!" Lin Fan yelled. He stomped the ground and raised his speed within no time. He clenched his fists tightly and landed on the ground with a loud thud. With overwhelming force, Lin Fan attacked Qin Shan with a force that was three times stronger than his usual strength.

Qin Shan growled and spread out his arms. Earth energy surrounded both his palms, forming two earth energy bull heads to go against Lin Fan's strong attack. He pushed forward hard, cupping Lin Fan's fists with his own.

Whoosh!

Earth energy that was as sharp as a knife passed through Qin Shan's fingers.

It cut his arms, making blood gush out.

But Qin Shan did not even flinch. He held Lin Fan's fists tightly while looking at Lin Fan with anger and insanity in his eyes. "I want you dead."

Lin Fan's face fell. He might be an Earth Star Border Stage Four, but his strength is overwhelming.

At this moment, Lin Fan's chest was completely exposed to danger.

"Heaven's Cannon!" Qin Shan growled. He clenched his fists and aimed for Lin Fan's chest at an extremely fast speed.

The intense fight had left all the spectating disciples dumbstruck.

They did not expect Lin Fan to be so powerful that he was able to fight a madman like Qin Shan to such an extent. This is terrifying.

"Fun," Lin Fan said, laughing like a madman. He blocked Qin Shan's attack with his hands forcefully. Strong earth energy passed through his hands, and Lin Fan was thrown off to the side of the ring.

"Very powerful." Lin Fan raised his hand, wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth. "Interesting, very interesting.

"It's such a pity that you're too arrogant.

"Use all your ability or it will be an unlucky day for you.

"Violent Body!"

Suddenly, huge changes could be seen taking place on Lin Fan. Cracks could be heard as Lin Fan became taller. His muscles grew, making his clothes burst.

His shoulders and back enlarged, creating an uneven surface. It looked like a mountain range. The black film blended with the blood tattoos. It was terrifying to see the blood tattoos coiling around the black film.

This caused a huge uproar amongst the spectators.

The spectating disciples all had their jaws wide open. They were unable to believe their eyes.

"How did he manage to do that?"

Nobody could believe that the Senior Brother Lin that was standing in front of them had changed into a different person within no time. Each of his muscles seemed to contain an infinite amount of energy.

Even the elders who were hiding among the clouds were surprised by Lin Fan. "Powerful. I didn't expect that this disciple would be at this standard."

"The disciple that caught Elder Tian Xu's eyes has the ability to train in skillsets that use brute force to such a standard? There's less than five in the sect who are able to do so!"

Lu Qiming and the group were taken aback too. They were the closest to Lin Fan, but they never knew that Lin Fan could be this good.

On the other hand, Liu Yue seemed to be at a loss. Not only was he not defeated by Qin Shan in one move, he can actually fight back!

How did it turn out like this? How…?

Liu Yue screamed silently. Unhappiness could be seen all over her face; she was unhappy with the situation.

"I'm not really used to this style." Lin Fan clenched his fist experimentally. Energy surged up his body. He cracked his neck, making noises. "Okay, let us have another round now." He clapped, sending a boom across the area.

Report chapter

Chapter 97: An Uncontrollable Action

He took a step forward.

The ground shook. Initially, Lin Fan was the one smaller in size when placed beside Qin Shan, but now, after his height had increased to three meters, Qin Shan was the dwarf to Lin Fan now.

Standing tall, Lin Fan looked down at Qin Shan.

"Younger brother, you have committed a mistake." Lin Fan obviously wasn't Qin Shan's elder brother, but since he was now bigger in size – the size of a mini giant – he called Qin Shan younger brother to show that the difference in their power was too huge for Qin Shan to surpass.

But hearing Lin Fan call him younger brother, Qin Shan became even more uncontrollable. To him, Lin Fan had suddenly turned into another person, but within a split second, he turned back into a stranger again – a stranger that angered him the most.

"Ah!" Qin Shan growled. Earth energy covered his entire body as he attacked Lin Fan with his fist. He might have gone mad and gained great strength, but all his improvements seemed insignificant.

Bang!

Lin Fan caught Qin Shan's fist in his hands easily and fixed it in place. "You are powerful, but this is enough." He looked at him coldly.

Qin Shan looked into Lin Fan's eyes. He saw the familiar face once again, but it disappeared within no time, leaving only anger in Qin Shan.

Lin Fan held onto Qin Shan's fist tightly and pulled his arms open. He smirked and leaned his head back. All of a sudden, he came for Qin Shan's head like a hammer.

Bang!

The sound of a collision rang across the arena.

Lin Fan's forehead seemed fine, but blood could be seen on Qin Shan's forehead.

"Tough. You're the first disciple that I've met who managed to cultivate into this state. However, this is not enough!" Lin Fan laughed and hammered his head down again.

When the spectating disciples saw the scene, their eyes and mouths were frozen wide open.

They were unable to believe their eyes.

The elders hiding among the clouds had their expressions changed too. "What realm is this disciple in that Qin Shan is no competition for him?"

"Earth Star Border Stage Two. But it's scary considering how he has already cultivated a few skillsets to their maximum."

"How much determination must he have to be able to cultivate these skillsets to the maximum before even breaking through to the Earth Star Border Realm? His foundation is extremely strong. His future is limitless!"

The Body Tempering Realm was the realm for cultivators to strengthen their foundation. The stronger their foundation was, the more it would benefit them in the future. However, everybody had their limits.

Being smacked in his head so hard, Qin Shan became totally muddled. All he saw now was Lin Fan's face constantly changing and merging with another face.

Bang!

Blood flowed down Qin Shan's head. He stared at Lin Fan blankly. His memory was currently muddled up as if all his memories had been regrouped.

However, Lin Fan was unaware of the situation. All he felt was that Qin Shan was extremely powerful since he was able to remain calm, only changing his facial expression from blank to lunatic even after Lin Fan attacked him numerous times.

I have a feeling that he's mad.

A few more attacks.

The sound of the collisions rang across the area.

So, an Earth Star Border Stage Four is not something I can't deal with, but I will need to use all my skillsets. This Earth Star Border Stage Four disciple might be tough, but he does not have any tricks up his sleeves except fighting with raw strength.

But none of that matters now.

"Okay, this is the last attack, time for you to sleep," Lin Fan said. He gathered all his earth energy, ready to get rid of Qin Shan.

Of course, Lin Fan wasn't planning to kill him, he just wanted to knock him unconscious.

Qin Shan's arms became weaker. To him, all he could see was a familiar face that he missed a lot.

"Elder Brother…."

Just as Lin Fan gathered all his energy, ready to launch his last attack, he heard Qin Shan calling him Elder Brother. He stopped in his tracks and realized that the other party had already calmed down, and Qin Shan's arms were weak.

"Have you conceded defeat?" Lin Fan asked, confused. He then let go of Qin Shan.

Suddenly, a bewildering scene took place; Qin Shan dropped to the ground suddenly and hugged Lin Fan's thigh. "Elder Brother, you're finally back…!"

"What on earth? Let go of me. I am not actually your elder brother. Are you crazy?" Lin Fan jumped up, ready to kick Qin Shan away.

But when he saw Qin Fan's face, he was dumbfounded.

Tears were all over his face, and they were mixed with blood. Qin Shan looked extremely pitiful.

Just before Lin Fan could make any other comment, a voice rang in his head.

"Qin Shan's elder brother was sacrificed during the war. He's now insane since he can't accept the fact. Pretend to be his dead elder brother since he now thinks you are."

Lin Fan looked up at his surroundings. Which master is it? Sending me messages out of nowhere? Lin Fan muttered.

A younger brother that comes with the test?

And one that's insane?

"Whatever." Lin Fan was speechless. He kept his strength and made his body return to his original state. "Let go, stand up and come with me," Lin Fan said to Qin Shan's who was hugging his thigh tightly.

Qin Shan might've been insane, but he listened to Lin Fan well. He immediately let go of his thigh and stood up straight, following behind Lin Fan closely.

"Outer disciple Lin Fan has passed the test and has managed to level up to a third-class inner disciple," the Hall of the Inner Sect disciple announced.

Lu Qiming and the group were elated. Even though there was a small mishap, Lin Fan succeeded in the end.

When Lin Fan left the ring, the crowd went up to him. But they were wary of Qin Shan. After all, he was insane, it was unpredictable when he would go mad.

Feng Shaoyun gritted his teeth, unhappy with the result.

Liu Yue kept her unhappiness and went over to Lin Fan with a fake smile plastered on her face. "Congratulations for passing the test, Senior Brother Lin."

"Get lost." Lin Fan looked at Liu Yue, embarrassing her in public.

Hearing Lin Fan's reply, the crowd was shocked. Wow, he's even unwilling to see such a beautiful senior sister?

Instantly, Liu Yue was embarrassed. A glint could be seen in her eyes. "I have tried to be nice, don't you dare…"

Suddenly, before Liu Yue could finish her words, a huge figure stood in front of her. She swallowed her words back, facial expression changing.

"Those who have evil intentions toward my elder brother shall die!" Qin Shan boomed. He threw a punch at Liu Yue's face with his fist that was covered with earth energy.

Boom!

A pretty figure that was the dream of many men shot up into the air like a cannon. Blood splattered across the sky as the pretty figure dropped to the ground, rolling away. She came to a stop soon, face down on the ground. The pretty figure was now motionless.

Silence took over the place.

Qin Shan turned around to Lin Fan. He looked stupid but determined. "Elder Brother, I will protect you. Nobody can hurt you."

Lin Fan looked at Qin Shan. He blinked before turning to the motionless figure that was a distance away.

"All of you are witnesses. He's crazy, so this was an unintentional and uncontrollable action."

Lin Fan spoke and left with Qin Shan in a hurry.

That was such a great move!

But I'm not sure if she's dead.

When the crowd realized what was going on, Lin Fan and the rest had already left.

Feng Shaoyun's face was full of anger. He felt his heart tearing apart.

"Junior Sister…!"

Author's note: Guys, stay calm and do not panic.

Report chapter

Chapter 98: Highly Likely That She's a Fox

Feng Shaoyun kneeled down onto the ground. He turned Liu Yue over, ready to pull the junior sister that he had yearned for into his eyes, but what he saw next left him in utter shock.

He could not believe that this was the gorgeous Junior Sister Liu who wore an alluring smile on her face.

Her jaw was dislocated, and it could be seen from her slightly opened lips that she had lost quite a number of teeth. Blood was all across the face, and she was no longer the pretty Junior Sister Liu everyone had in their hearts.

Moreover, it was unknown if she was alive or dead.

Feng Shaoyun's facial muscles twitched. He hammered his chest in sorrow. "Junior Sister…!"

The surrounding disciples were all dumbstruck.

They did not foresee that Qin Shan would burst into anger and send Liu Yue flying off with an attack. He punched her at such close proximity, so how strong must the force have been? There was a high chance that Liu Yue was already dead.

Feng Shaoyun's bellow of rage was deeply felt by them. The disciples were upset that Liu Yue was now disfigured. Everyone loved beautiful things, and Liu Yue, who was as pretty as a picture, was naturally the goddess in every male disciple's heart.

But now, their goddess was no longer their goddess.

They couldn't even bear to look at Liu Yue after a glance. How was this still the goddess of their hearts?

Boom!

Thunder could be heard.

Clouds that were as dark as lead enveloped the sky of the Magnificent Flame Sect. Within no time, it started raining.

The spectating disciples covered their heads with their hands. "It's raining, let's hurry back."

The crowd dispersed within no time. The goddess in their hearts was no longer around, which made them even more determined to cultivate hard.

Raindrops slid down Feng Shaoyun's cheeks. The fires of fury were swimming in his eyes. "Junior Sister, Senior Brother will take revenge for you!"

Elder Tian Xu might not have asked for Lin Fan's consent, but he watched the entire test. He was furious when he saw Qin Shan, as he could immediately tell that someone had set Lin Fan up. However, he was satisfied when he saw that Lin Fan ended up passing the test, and he even subdued the disciple who had a mental disorder.

But he did not expect things to end up in this way.

…

Lin Fan and the crowd had already left. As soon as the group reached Lin Fan's room, it started pouring. "What weather is this? It started raining almost immediately! Come on in to hide from the rain," he said, frowning.

In Lin Fan's room, Lu Qiming looked at Qin Shan in fear. "Senior Brother Lin, what should we do with him?"

Huang Fugui and the rest nodded. Qin Shan was insane, and it was hard to say if the other party would suddenly hammer them to their death in the night.

The thought of it made their hearts race.

Lin Fan felt his head pounding slightly. He turned to Qin Shan, speaking more indirectly. He's crazy after all. "Brother, you may leave now."

However, Lin Fan did not expect Qin Shan to lower his arms, clench his fists tightly, and wear a wronged expression on his face. "Elder Brother, do you not want me anymore?" he asked, looking like he was about to burst into tears.

"Of course not, Elder Brother wants you. Go to the corner and squat there." Lin Fan waved his hands helplessly. Thus, Qin Shan did as he was told and stared at Lin Fan from the corner. "See, I can't get rid of him. He has his eyes on me."

Zhang Long looked extremely worried. "But this matter is troublesome. Liu Yue is Liu Ruochen's younger sister. We do not know if she even survived his attack, and the things that will come after this incident won't be simple."

"Yes." Yin Xiaotian agreed. "If she learns about this incident, she won't let it slide simply."

"Won't let it slide? I do not fear her. That punch was great, and it would be better if she's dead. It will save me many troubles," Lin Fan muttered, accidentally exposing himself.

Lu Qiming stared at Lin Fan in fear.

Seeing how the others were looking at him, Lin Fan waved his hands. "What's on your minds? Why would I attack her when she's out of the sect? I'm not such a person, don't worry."

Indeed!

Even if Qin Shan did not punch her today, Senior Brother Lin would have done something if Liu Yue left the sect in the future! It's scary to even think of it.

However, this matter was not as simple as it seemed. Everybody knew that Qin Shan was insane, so they should forgive him.

Lu Qiming and the others did not know how to handle the matter either. To them, Senior Brother Lin was Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple, so Liu Ruochen might not dare to go overboard.

When the others left, Lin Fan was now left with a headache. What should I do with Qin Shan?

I know that he's insane, but he wanted me dead previously. And now he thinks I'm his elder brother!

I'm afraid I gave him some delusions from hammering his head with mine.

"Go back and rest," Lin Fan said.

"Elder Brother, I can't. I'm going to stay here and protect you." Qin Shan shook his head.

Lin Fan: "Be good and listen to me."

Qin Shan: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Qin Shan stood up and walked to the door, turning back to look at Lin Fan every three steps he took. Finally, he left.

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. What did I get myself into? This is so confusing. But whatever, this free stupid younger brother is an Earth Star Border Stage Four, and he listens well, so it's okay if he takes me as his elder brother. I need people for tough work too.

"Cultivate. Let me level up my skillsets. The Golden Body Tempering Secret is now too weak for me."

He sat cross-legged and took out his little notebook, cultivating according to what he had recorded.

The next morning, a ray of light shone into Lin Fan's room. Lin Fan was currently sitting cross-legged. After many failures the previous night, he finally saw a turn for better.

He found a successful route that made his Earth Inner Core spin and transfer earth energy to every one of his meridians.

"This feels so good. I should be getting there."

Lin Fan thought happily. He took in a deep breath and made his earth energy surge, going in the route that he had confirmed.

Changes could be seen on the mystic skills creation guide book that was placed outside.

Words surface on the blank page.

"Immovable Earth Body: increase in strength, tyrant body, protective earth shield, experience points 5.

"Mystic low-class."

"That's not bad. I'll have countless possibilities by levelling up this skillset. The skillset that master gave might be of a higher class, but it does not offer as much variety compared to me levelling my own skill." After some thought, Lin Fan decided to level up his own skillset.

The was the start, and the foundation.

Two more experience points than the Golden Body Tempering Secret. I can cultivate faster from now on.

Earth Star Border Stage Two is too weak! However, when I unleash my potential, even an Earth Star Border Stage Four is too weak compared to me.

"Senior Brother Lin! Something bad has happened. The Inner Sect's Liu Ruochen brought men to surround Qin Shan!" Lu Qiming had not arrived, but his voice could already be heard.

Lin Fan only just passed the test, so he had not been allocated a new room or given a new skillset. He frowned when he heard Lu Qiming. Indeed, trouble has come.

He pushed the door open.

"Is that witch dead?" Lin Fan asked. He was more concerned over whether Liu Yue was dead or alive. If she's still alive, then I will have to do it myself in the future.

"I have no idea. There has not been news. But she should be." Lu Qiming guessed. Qin Shan's punch was so powerful that, if she wasn't dead, she would be half-dead at least.

"Should be? Then she might not be dead," Lin Fan muttered. But I could pay that Liu Ruochen a visit.

There's a high chance that she's a lowly fox, since she was able to win the hearts of many male disciples.

Report chapter

Chapter 99: Lying Down is What a Weaking Should Do

Inner Sect:

"Senior Sister Liu has gone to look for Qin Shan. I'm afraid that something bad is going to happen."

"Yesterday, Qin Shan gave Liu Yue a punch and sent her flying off. As Liu Yue's sister, Senior Sister Liu would definitely not turn a blind eye to it."

"That's right. Senior Sister Liu brought Liu Yue into the sect from their village personally. Even though Liu Yue embarrasses Senior Sister Liu by going around to seduce male disciples, she's still her blood-related sister. Qin Shan might be doomed."

"To be honest, that Qin Shan should be dead. Who knows what trouble that madman will bring us?"

"Shh, be careful with what you say. He's insane because his brother died for the sect. He's a poor thing."

"Not only did Senior Sister Liu go to look for Qin Shan personally, Childe Wind Fire, Yuan Mingkong, is accompanying her too. He's ranked 52nd on the Inner Sect Earth Ranking."

"Not only that, Senior Sister Liu also has a high reputation in the inner sect. Not only is Yuan Mingkong going with her to look for Qin Shan, but the other senior brothers will also be going along too. We should go and take a look. This is something that we should not miss."

The inner sect disciples spoke to one another. They might've all been inner disciples, but all of them were only of the third class. In comparison to their senior brothers who were ranked on the Earth Ranking, they were still way behind.

The inner disciples' residences, compared to the outer disciples' residences, were of a way better condition. Each room even had its own courtyard. Currently, there was a crowd outside Qin Shan's room.

Numerous pairs of eyes were staring at the icy-beauty Liu Ruochen and a few senior brothers who were on the Earth Ranking.

They were figures that one would hardly get to meet. Thus, many disciples came just to get a rare glimpse of their seniors who were currently gathered outside Qin Shan's room.

"Come out, Qin Shan." Next to Liu Ruochen stood a handsome man in a white robe. He took a step forward and bellowed. Earth energy went toward Qin Shan's door with the sound wave he emitted.

"He's Ye Chenfeng. He ranked 80th on the Earth Ranking, and he's known for having strong earth energy and using sound waves as his weapon. Those who are of lower cultivation might be seriously injured by his voice."

"The senior brothers who can rank on the Earth Ranking are extremely powerful. They are all way stronger than we thought."

Childe Wind Fire Yuan Mingkong wore a blue and red colored robe. He was nodding as Ye Chenfeng spoke. "Junior Brother Ye, your Sky Melody Energy is such a superb skillset."

"Senior Brother Yuan is being too polite," Ye Chenfeng replied proudly. "I have not trained it to the maximum level, but if I had, Qin Shan would already be seriously injured by my sound waves."

Just as Yuan Mingkong was speaking to Ye Chenfeng, a growl could be heard, and Qin Shan pushed his door open.

"What do you guys want!?" Qin Shan bellowed, staring at them with anger.

Yuan Mingkong stared at Qin Shan in disdain. "What do we want? Qin Shan, were you unaware of what would come when you punched Senior Sister Liu's younger sister?"

"Who is Senior Sister Liu? Who is the younger sister? I don't know." Qin Shan shook his head here and there. He might've listened to Lin Fan well, but he was still insane.

"Senior Brother Yuan, there's no need to communicate with a crazy man." Ye Chenfeng laughed. "I'm afraid he does not even know what he did."

"Junior Brothers. I do not wish to get you involved in my matters," Liu Ruochen said.

"Senior Sister, Liu Yue is not just our junior sister, but our younger sister too." Yuan Mingkong waved his hands. "How can we sit and watch her get hurt? Qin Shan is mentally unstable, and he fights violently. Let your junior brothers do the work."

Liu Ruochen said nothing and stood on the spot quietly as if she was an outcast. Liu Yue was her blood-related younger sister. Even though she survived, she was now ruined.

There was no right or wrong in this situation, but Liu Ruochen was here to bring a message across to the sect. She wanted everybody to know that the Liu Family members were not people whom anyone could step on.

"Junior Brothers, he's a violent person, so to avoid unwanted troubles, we should work together and get him," Yuan Mingkong said loudly. He was obviously ganging up on Qin Shan, but it was surprising how he could make it sound reasonable and righteous.

"Senior Brother, you're smart." Ye Chenfeng and the two other disciples nodded. Since they had come along with Liu Ruochen, they were obviously here to help out. But Qin Shan was seriously mentally unstable and powerful, so they might not be able to take him down if they went against him one-on-one.

But if they worked together, they would be able to take down Qin Shan easily.

"Nasty man. You'll be punished for injuring Liu Yue!" Yuan Mingkong yelled and stepped forward. He launched a powerful attack immediately.

The skillset that he was cultivating was called the Wind Fire skillset. It was a strong and smooth skillset that could change continuously, making him an extremely powerful figure among the inner sect disciples.

Seeing this, the surrounding disciples yelled.

It's an unlucky day for Qin Shan. How is he going to take down the joint attack of several inner disciples?

Being mentally unstable, Qin Shan attacked fiercely, but he did not know how to dodge, so he ended up taking all the attacks forcefully. If he wasn't an Earth Star Border Stage Four and the skillset he trained wasn't something that used brute force, he would have already been defeated.

"Indeed an idiot." Yuan Mingkong snickered, not even giving him face. He attacked Qin Shan with his Wind Fire energy that he hid in his palm while Ye Chenfeng seized the chance to attack Qin Shan from the back. Qin Shan's face fell, and within no time, he vomited blood and crashed onto the decorative hills in his courtyard.

"They are so powerful. Qin Shan couldn't even take it." The surrounding disciples gasped. The senior brothers on the Earth Ranking were powerful, and yet they weren't ashamed.

They had four people and they were ganging up against one, but no one dared to say much since these were their senior brothers who were on the Earth Ranking and Liu Ruochen was present too. They would not be able to lead a good life if they offended any of them.

"Hehe." Ye Chenfeng laughed and walked toward the battered Qin Shan slowly.

But suddenly, an icy cold aura could be felt, and he retreated all of a sudden.

Boom!

There was a deep pit in the ground. When the dirt scattered, a huge mace could be seen sticking up from the ground.

"Who is it!?" Ye Chenfeng shouted in anger as he turned to the surrounding disciples.

The disciples moved away, opening up a path.

"Interesting to see a group of such shameless inner disciples. Four against one? Do you know how I feel about this?" Lin Fan walked up from a crowd and stood in front of Qin Shan.

Seeing Lin Fan, Qin Shan smiled widely, looking like an idiot. "Elder Brother, be at ease. I will protect you." Suddenly, Qin Shan stood up and stared at Yuan Mingkong and his junior brothers in anger. "I'm going to kill you."

Lin Fan raised his hand, but he couldn't touch Qin Shan's head.

"Violent Body."

He could hear his bones cracking as he sprouted up. His top burst open as his stature overtook Qin Shan's. "My stupid younger brother, squat down." He caressed his "younger brother's" head with his black-colored hand.

"Yes, Elder Brother." Qin Shan looked at Lin Fan in adoration. He squatted down as told.

Lin Fan turned over and cracked his neck. He picked up the mace when he walked past it, carrying it on his shoulder. He came up to Ye Chenfeng and looked down at him, smirking. "You were the one that attacked him from the back?"

Ye Chenfeng frowned. Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple, Lin Fan was a thorny problem. Especially now that the other party's height had increased, it made Ye Chenfeng feel threatened. However, his senior sisters and senior brothers were around. He was not afraid of Lin Fan.

"Ye-"

Piak!

But before he could finish his word, a huge hand pressed down on his head and lifted him up.

"Earth Star Border Stage Three, Inner Sect Earth Ranking 80th rank. That's too weak." Lin Fan shook his head.

Ye Chenfeng felt that he was unable to move or avoid Lin Fan's attack. He was picked up forcefully. He kicked Lin Fan only to realize that he was just kicking Lin Fan's earth energy.

Lin Fan watched Ye Chenfeng's small actions that did nothing to him. His tyrant body could withstand anything.

He raised his arm to make an eye contact with Ye Chenfeng calmly.

Ye Chenfeng gulped. He wanted to struggle out of Lin Fan's grasp, but the hand that was holding onto his head was too strong for him to struggle away.

An icy cold voice passed through Lin Fan's ears.

"If I was you, I would put him down," Liu Ruochen said coldly, staring at Lin Fan calmly.

Lin Fan turned to Liu Ruochen and stared at her hour-glass figure. "Senior Sister, you're right. I should put him down." He smiled.

Liu Ruochen heaved a sigh of relief. It's not the end, we can still-

But before she thought of what she could do, surprise washed over her icy cold face.

Lin Fan threw Ye Chenfeng down on the ground hard. A loud boom could be heard as the ground shook.

Ye Chenfeng hit the ground heavily. His mouth was slightly open, and fear was swimming in his eyes. He vomited blood and died.

"Senior Sister, you're right, I should put him down." Lin Fan picked up a bloody Ye Chenfeng, whose limbs were swaying weakly in the wind, and threw him to the side like a piece of trash. "A weakling doesn't need to stand, he should just lie down."

He then made eye contact with Liu Ruochen. "Senior Sister, I'm curious why you came to look for my younger brother.

"Can you tell me why?"

Chapter 100: I, Lin Fan, Keep My Word

The surrounding disciples were in utter disbelief. Never would they have dreamt that Senior Brother Lin would kill someone because they had different opinions. Moreover, he killed Ye Chenfeng, who was ranked 80th on the Inner Sect Earth Ranking. He might've only been an Earth Star Border Stage Three, but he picked up skillsets faster than cultivators of the same level.

But now, his body was thrown far away by Lin Fan randomly, as if he was nothing more than a piece of trash. This was a terrifying scene to watch.

Under the burning sun, the unusually black figure that stood three meters tall from the ground made the crowd feel threatened.

Yuan Mingkong's mouth was slightly opened. "How dare you murder Junior Brother Ye!? How dare you!?" he shouted, facial muscles twitching.

He growled and yelled, not wanting to accept the fact.

Lin Fan raised his hands to dig his ear. He took out a speck of earwax and shot it onto Yuan Mingkong's face randomly. "Senior Sister Liu, how much longer are you going to act calm? Don't you think that you owe me an explanation as to why you're bullying my little brother?"

"Arrogant!" Yuan Mingkong felt extremely humiliated. He went up, wanting to fight Lin Fan.

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow and placed the mace that was on his shoulder on the ground randomly. Just a small action was enough to make Yuan Mingkong freeze to the ground.

The difference in size was enough for Yuan Mingkong to feel threatened. Moreover, Yuan Mingkong watched Lin Fan kill Ye Chenfeng a moment ago, so he was cautious of Lin Fan.

"Senior Sister Liu, you're really planning to keep quiet about this, huh?" Lin Fan stared at the woman who had many male disciples falling head-over-heels. To him though, she was just average. One that you want to toy with, but not give her your heart.

As for Yuan Mingkong, Lin Fan did not even bother to take a glance at him.

To Yuan Mingkong, this was humiliation. He exchanged glances with his two junior brothers and got ready to fight Lin Fan.

Liu Ruochen stood at the side coldly. Pity could be seen swimming in her eyes.

She thought that, after becoming Elder Tian Xu's disciple, Lin Fan would seize the chance and cultivate hard so that he would gain some standing in the sect. But now, it seemed that he was nothing more than an idiot.

He was extremely arrogant and thought he owned the world after a small success.

Ye Chenfeng might've been ranked 80th on the Inner Sect Earth Ranking, but he was part of the Skies of Zhong Peak, the peak where Wan Zhongtian was the leader. Now that Lin Fan had killed Ye Chenfeng, it could be said that he had offended Wan Zhongtian.

Within such a short period of time, Lin Fan had offended two peak leaders. How could he possibly survive in the sect in the future?

Elder Tian Xu might be one of the most powerful elders in the sect, but he won't be able to be his support forever.

One day, Elder Tian Xu will leave. With our messy situation and all the eyes that are on the Magnificent Flame Sect now, who knows what might happen to Elder Tian Xu?

Then, when his support is gone, he won't be able to do anything but face his enemies that he made when he was being arrogant.

Liu Ruochen shook her head and sighed.

"Stand aside," Liu Ruochen commanded coldly and walked toward Lin Fan slowly. "Junior Brother Lin, he injured my sister, so I am hoping to get an explanation for why he did so."

"Explanation? There's nothing to explain." Lin Fan laughed and turned to Qin Shan, who was squatting on the ground in a daze. "Tell me loudly, my stupid younger brother, did you hurt Senior Sister Liu's younger sister?"

Being insane, Qin Shan tended to forget things that he did immediately, so how could he remember what took place the day before?

Hearing Lin Fan's question, Qin Shan shook his head hard. "No, I did not injure anyone."

The surrounding disciples looked at the scene helplessly. He might as well not have asked. If Qin Shan knew what he was doing, he would not be called crazy.

Lin Fan looked toward Liu Ruochen. "Did you hear him? My younger brother did not injure anyone. You can't just frame people as you like even if you're the senior sister here. Especially somebody that's under me."

Liu Ruochen felt anger boiling up. Such a shameless and despicable person. But it's not worth it for me to get angry with such a person who is ignorant about the sect's silent rules. Thus, Liu Ruochen did not ask anything more and changed her tone, glaring at Lin Fan coldly.

"Do you think that you can do whatever you want after gaining Elder Tian Xu as your master?" Liu Ruochen asked coldly. "If that's the case, you're just a disappointment that will end up like a frog living at the bottom of a well."

Lin Fan shook his head, making cracking sounds with his neck and smiled. "Senior Sister Liu, you're so smart. You could even figure that out.

"Yes, I admit that I'm now able to do whatever I want after gaining Elder Tian Xu as my master, and there's nothing you can do about it.

"As for ending up like a frog living at the bottom of a well, that's impossible. It only seems possible to you, Senior Sister, because you are jealous of me.

"Skillsets, pills, and other things that I'm going to get are out of your reach. And Senior Sister would be unable to get them even if you become a prostitute, but I can get them easily, just because I have a great master.

"I even have the right to choose what I want. So, Senior Sister, you are wrong to say such things.

"But be at ease, Senior Sister, I will not think of you as a joke. We simply have different standings, so we get in touch with different things. You have no idea what environment I am in, so all Senior Sister can do is imagine my life."

All the spectating disciples held their breath. They felt blood boiling in their chest, not because of excitement but anger.

This was too much.

They had never seen somebody who was able to make such comments sound so reasonable that they couldn't even retort.

Liu Ruochen's face fell. She was boiling with anger too, as she didn't expect Lin Fan to be so shameless.

But what Lin Fan said next made it even more unbearable.

"Senior Sister, remember this: I'm not just lucky to have been picked by Elder Tian Xu, it's because I shine. To me, the things that contribute to Senior Sister's reputation in the sect are just tiny things that aren't useful. Do you know why there isn't any elder that is willing to take you in as their disciple even now? It's because you're too ordinary and not to the liking of any of those venerable masters.

"To real masters, appearance is not important. Inner beauty is what matters the most. I hope Senior Sister does not think too highly of yourself."

What Lin Fan said was right. Even he felt that his eloquence had improved largely at this time. How did I say something that's so logical?

Liu Ruochen stared at him in anger. "You're rather sharp-tongued. But do you think he will get away with injuring my younger sister?"

"It doesn't matter if he gets away with it or not. It's not important. So what if he did injure your younger sister? What do you dare to do to him with me over here?

"Remember, I'll kill your sister if you touch his hair and your entire Liu family if you touch him.

"Don't challenge my credibility. I, Lin Fan, keep my word. If I say that I'll murder your entire family, I will. You can give it a try if you dare.

"Qin Shan, come over and let Senior Sister Liu touch you."

Lin Fan waved to Qin Shan, who was still squatting at the corner.

Qin Shan walked over without fear. Being a madman, he did not fear Liu Ruochen even slightly. He even pointed at her and said, "If you dare to touch me, my elder brother will kill your entire family. I'm not afraid."

Lin Fan carried his mace and smirked at Liu Ruochen. "Senior Sister Liu, do you dare?"

Rich people were afraid of people with power, and people with power were afraid of those who did not cherish their lives. As for the latter, they feared madmen.

Lin Fan currently had both. He did not cherish his life, and Qin Shan was mad.

Life would be too boring if I can't take you down.

Chapter 101: Fan Fan is So Afraid!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

"Enemies? How did this happen?"

"Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Liu do not have any relation with each other. I did not expect them to be fighting so fiercely either."

"This is insane. Senior Brother Lin has forced Senior Sister Liu to the edge. I wonder if Senior Sister will make a move for real?"

"I don't think so, Senior Brother Lin is no different from a madman. How scary would the consequences be if Senior Sister Liu attacked Qin Shan?"

A tornado could be seen in mid-air. If any ordinary person entered, they would be torn to death. However, there were two people standing in the tornado peacefully, chatting with each other.

The red-haired elder sighed. "Tian Xu, your disciple is being too evil. Are you regretting now that he has shown his true colors?"

Both of them witnessed all that Lin Fan was doing. They knew that Lin Fan did whatever he pleased just because he was Elder Tian Xu's disciple, resulting in a fight with the inner sect disciples. He was simply too much.

Tian Xu looked at the red-haired elder in disbelief. "Regret? I never regret my actions. Huo Rong, you always asked what the difference between us is. Now I can clearly tell you that the difference between us is that you might not like this disciple, but I, Tian Xu, like him a lot.

"If he puts justice before relation, what would I do when I'm old and useless? At least I will have somebody to depend on. Justice isn't going to be important by then. And I, Tian Xu, have the ability to protect him until he's ready to survive on his own. No threat will get him.

"I would only be regretful if he was a scaredy-cat.

"I'm very happy with how he is now."

Huo Rong stared at Tian Xu. He did not agree with his rationale. That's absolutely faulty reasoning! Huo Rong never liked Tian Xu's character even when they were sect mates. As time passed, Tian Xu managed to beat him in cultivation and even managed to seize a status higher than him in the sect. Huo Rong never understood why. I was always careful and righteous! Even now. Why am I still second to Tian Xu?

"Tian Xu, are you going sit by and watch this situation escalate?" Huo Rong furrowed his brows. To him, an elder should interfere in the matter and reward or punish those who deserved it, but Tian Xu forced him to sit by and spectate the incident with him! He did not understand what the point of doing so was.

"Yes. Let it escalate. My disciple is doing fine, why should I stop them?" Tian Xu answered like it was a matter of course. There's no problem, so why should I?

"You're an elder. This is unfair," Huo Rong said.

"That's my disciple." Tian Xu pointed at Lin Fan.

Huo Rong was left speechless. We are certainly on a different frequency. I hope this matter comes to an end soon without worsening.

…

"Elder Brother, I'm tired." Qin Shan, who was standing in front of Liu Ruochen, turned back to Lin Fan, not knowing what he should do next.

"Senior Sister Liu." Lin Fan laughed. "My little brother is tired. Are you going to attack him?"

Burning rage hissed through Liu Ruochen. I really can't do anything about them, huh? They are certainly mad! Provoking me constantly and not giving me a way out of this situation!

Not only that, Liu Ruochen believed that, if she actually did launch an attack at Lin Fan, he would indeed murder Liu Yue or even the entire Liu family.

If he had any scruples or fear, he would not have murdered Ye Chenfeng or let Qin Shan attack my younger sister in the first place.

Her slender fingers trembled, not because of hesitation but of anger.

Yuan Mingkong was extremely upset too. There was nothing he could do other than watch his senior sister being humiliated. It made him feel extremely useless. The other party is just a third-class inner disciple, why am I so afraid of him?

Why?

I'm ranked fifty-second on the Inner Sect Earth Ranking! Why am I being intimidated by someone who has only just become an inner disciple?

Just what is this situation?

Yuan Mingkong was full of unwillingness. He was dying to fight Lin Fan with all his might. However, there was a voice in his head that kept telling him to stay calm. "Impulse is the devil, it will turn you into the next Ye Chenfeng," the voice said.

Thus, he could only watch his senior sister being humiliated by Lin Fan.

"Are you sure you want to go overboard like this?" Liu Ruochen stared at Lin Fan coldly.

A sigh could be heard.

Lin Fan shook his head. "Senior Sister Liu. It's no fun if you act in this manner. Moreover, how am I going overboard? You're the one who brought a group over to beat up my little brother! And you're saying that I'm too much? Senior Sister is as pretty as a picture, but that doesn't give you the right to frame others."

All of a sudden, a hiss could be heard coming from afar.

"Uncultured swine, how dare you make such comments? Do you think that there is nobody who can take you down?" A ray of light could be seen piercing through the mountain range from afar before stopping in mid-air.

The crowd gasped when they saw the owner of the voice.

"Xiao Lingyi! He's ranked third on the Inner Sect Earth Ranking!"

"That's Senior Brother Xiao! After three years of seclusion, he returned with outstanding ability and defeated many elites, making his way to third place on the Inner Sect Earth Ranking, taking the sect aback."

"Senior Brother Wan has made a move by sending Xiao Lingyi over. Maybe they want to suppress Senior Brother Lin, who's going overboard."

Xiao Lingyi wore a piece of white clothing with a golden hem. His eyes shone, and he bore an imposing demeanor. Xiao Lingyi stared at Lin Fan with a smirk before turning to Liu Ruochen.

"Junior Sister Liu, Senior Brother apologizes for being late, making you suffer," Xiao Lingyi said gently. If he wasn't glaring at Lin Fan, Lin Fan would have thought that he was a gentleman.

Lin Fan felt his head hurt. Indeed, other than a man who doesn't treasure his life and a madman, you should not get on the bad side of a beautiful woman either.

She has too many helpers for you to deal with.

I'm really curious how Liu Ruochen got all these idiots in her palm. If I have the chance, I'd like to dissect her and research it. Learning is a life-long journey, right?

Liu Ruochen heaved a sigh of relief. "Ruochen greets Senior Brother Xiao."

Previously, she was indeed helpless, but the arrival of Senior Brother Xiao helped her out of trouble. It's too bad that I'm ambitious, so I will only thank Senior Brother Xiao in my heart.

And of course, Liu Ruochen was aware of her strengths, she was just being more low-key about it.

In mid-air:

"Tian Xu," Huo Rong said. "Xiao Lingyi is here. I guess that your disciple won't have the upper hand in this situation."

"Hmph. If he dares to touch my disciple, I'll make him pay for it." Tian Xu stared at Xiao Lingyi, who made an arrogant entrance, coldly. How dare they take turns to bully my disciple? This is unforgivable!

…

At the same time, Xiao Lingyi was looking down at Lin Fan coldly. "I heard what you said to Junior Sister Liu, you uncultured and arrogant swine. You do not know where you stand, huh?

"I'll return you your words; if you dare to touch Junior Sister Liu's hair, I'll kill your entire family." He then turned to Liu Ruochen. "Junior Sister, see if he dares to take action against you.

"Hmph!"

Like thunder, Xiao Lingyi's snort boomed across the area.

The spectating disciples all turned to their Senior Brother Lin. The development of this incident had them left dumbfounded.

Xiao Lingyi's appearance was clear representative of Wan Zhongtian.

Lin Fan looked at Xiao Lingyi, who was in mid-air, and Liu Ruochen at the front. He blinked his eyes.

"Interesting."

They are going to kill my entire family! Fan Fan is so afraid!

Somebody, help me!

Chapter 102: Do You Dare to Fight Me?

The arrival of a true expert was a majestic scene.

Chills ran down the spines of the spectating disciples.

It had been some time since they had become disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect, and they had never met such an impudent disciple. Even if there were some unpleasant disciples who tried to get up to little tricks, they would be caught and suppressed within no time, ruining them with just a stroke.

But now, Liu Ruochen lost the upper hand and Xiao Lingyi of the Skies of Zhong Peak arrived, sending a warning to Lin Fan and suppressing him.

How would this matter escalate?

Every disciple was in doubt.

As the disciple of Elder Tian Xu, Senior Brother Lin had a higher status compared to any ordinary disciple.

Liu Ruochen stared at Lin Fan in pity. "It's wisest to take a step back when the situation becomes too much for one to handle," she said coldly.

Upon Xiao Lingyi's arrival, Liu Ruochen knew that the matter would come to an end, because whether it was status or ability, Lin Fan was at a disadvantage.

Liu Ruochen might've seemed to be a cold and indifferent woman, but she was ambitious and particularly enjoyed the feeling of being protected and surrounded by men.

Because she knew that she was worth receiving such treatment.

"Hehe!" Lin Fan turned to Liu Ruochen. "Please keep quiet, I really can't understand you."

He then turned to Xiao Lingyi, who was standing in mid-air with his nose in the air. "What did you just say? If I touch Senior Sister Liu, you'll kill my what? Can Senior Brother please repeat your words?"

Xiao Lingyi sneered and glared at Lin Fan. "Kill your entire family," he said clearly without hesitation.

Lin Fan popped his neck and took a step forward with his body that had grown to three meters after making use of the skill Violent Body. The ground rumbled every time he took a step forward. He stood in front of Liu Ruochen, flashing a wide smile at her.

"Your Senior Brother Xiao said that I dare not touch you, what do you think about that?"

Liu Ruochen stared at him coldly. Even now, he's still trying to be tough. This is such a lowly act. "If I were you, I would have left and started cultivating hard with Elder Tian Xu. The sect is not a place where you can act freely. It's only that you have yet to experience the tough times in the sect."

Lin Fan looked down, snickering. He then broke into laughter and pointed at Liu Ruochen with his black finger. "Liu Ruochen," he said frivolously. "Who gave you the confidence such that you believe I dare not touch you?" But the next second, Lin Fan looked discouraged. "But he's right. I wouldn't touch you."

Hearing him, Xiao Lingyi smirked. With my presence, he would have to be a madman to be daring enough to take action against Junior Sister Liu.

All of a sudden, a loud bang travelled across the area. Xiao Lingyi stared at Lin Fan in utter anger. "How dare you…?" he chided.

But it was too late.

Lin Fan pulled back the frying pan that Elder Tian Xu made him. His left arm enlarged in an instant as he aimed for Liu Ruochen.

"He's right, I dare not touch you with my hands.

"But I dare to smack you."

Bang!

A loud and clear bang spanned across the area.

Lin Fan bent his body. The frying pan had left an afterimage in the air. He placed the pan down on the ground. Liu Ruochen, who was initially standing in front of Lin Fan, was currently nowhere to be seen. She was now a ray of light, and with a bang, she fell into some ruins in the distance.

Lin Fan stood up straight and swung his frying pan casually. "This is great. With a clear and loud bang, she has flown away."

Far away, Liu Ruochen climbed up from the ruins, unable to believe what just happened. Her left cheek was currently badly swollen, and bruises could be seen all over her face. If she was not an Earth Star Border Stage Five, she would have already died.

Anger was written all across her face.

No matter how well she could hide her anger, she could no longer tolerate this incident.

"You… how dare you attack her?" Xiao Lingyi's voice quavered slightly, but his words still boomed across the area. "Do you think I really dare not kill your family?"

Junior Sister Liu was everyone's favorite junior sister in the inner sect!

We couldn't even bear to scold her on a normal basis, yet this guy gave her a smack and ruined her beautiful face! Not only that, he even ignored my warnings!

The surrounding disciples had their jaws dropped. They took in a deep breath. None of them expected Lin Fan to attack Liu Ruochen for real.

"Elder Brother, you're so powerful." Qin Shan did not know what Lin Fan did, but he could feel that his previous attack was strong. He waved his arms in the air, imitating Lin Fan despite not having a frying pan in his hands.

With a frying pan in his left and a mace in his right hand, Lin Fan looked up at Xiao Lingyi. "I'm afraid of Senior Brother Xiao's warning, of course, but there's a difference between fearing and not daring. Obviously, I dared, and now, I'm curious to see how Senior Brother Xiao will carry out your words.

"I left the village at ten and lived on my own as an orphan. After joining the Magnificent Flame Sect, my junior brothers of the outer sect showered me with love and care. To me, all of them are my family. You said that you're going to kill my entire family, right? So are you going to kill all the outer sect disciples?

"Let me ask you, do you dare?" Lin Fan carried the mace on his shoulder and pointed at Xiao Lingyi, asking him fiercely.

His words were so fierce that it made Xiao Lingyi feel guilty.

The outer disciples who were spectating the scene blinked their eyes. They had no idea how they became involved just by watching the scene.

However, they were deeply touched by Lin Fan's words. So Senior Brother Lin has always taken us as his family!

Touching. This is so touching.

However, that aside, if Xiao Lingyi went insane and decided to kill all of us, we would die for nothing!

"You…" Xiao Lingyi stopped in his tracks. He felt guilty hearing Lin Fan's words, especially the phrase, "Do you dare?"

"Hmph, look at you. I knew you wouldn't dare.

"Elder Tian Xu's my master. As the saying goes, a teacher for a day, father forever. He's the closest to me. Since you're going to kill my entire family, are you going to kill my master too?

"Xiao Lingyi, I heard that you went into seclusion for three years and once you succeeded, you became an inner disciple and are now part of the Skies of Zhong Peak. How arrogant and villainous have you become? Killing other's masters and ancestors? You're so unethical and cunning to commit such mistakes."

Lin Fan spoke righteously. He did not chicken out in front of Xiao Lingyi, looking as if he was ready to defend the sect no matter what.

In the tornado, Elder Tian Xu trembled while Huo Rong watched the scene dumbfoundedly. This disciple is so witty! He can even turn justice upside down!

Suddenly, Elder Tian Xu's voice could be heard; "I'm really blessed to get such a disciple.

"A teacher for a day, father forever. I, Tian Xu, have spent my life cultivating. I don't have any partner or children, but I'm like a father to my disciple.

"It's enough just to have such a disciple in my life."

Huo Rong wanted to say something more, but he did not. It's no use for me to say anything more.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan banged the mace down to the ground loudly, pointing at Xiao Lingyi with his frying pan.

"Xiao Lingyi, you will have to step over my dead body to kill my family.

"I, Lin Fan, might have low cultivation, but I'll never bow down to someone like you – for my family and master.

"Do you dare to fight me?"

At this moment, all disciples held their breath. This is so unbelievable.

Report chapter

Chapter 103: So Cruel

Xiao Lingyin stood in mid-air, breathing heavily. He couldn't believe that he was now left speechless by a disciple like this. How could he, an inner disciple of the Skies of Zhong Peak, be pushed to the edge by a disciple who just entered the inner sect?

Whispers could be heard coming from the spectators.

"Senior Brother Lin is right."

"Elder Tian Xu is Senior Brother Lin's master. It's right for Senior Brother Lin to say that he's a teacher to him for a day, but a father forever. So, does Senior Brother Xiao mean that he's going to kill Elder Tian Xu too? Since he said that he's going to kill Senior Brother Lin's entire family."

"Senior Brother Xiao must be insane. How could he say such things?"

"It should be meant to give Senior Brother Lin a scare since the elders aren't present."

To Lin Fan, he felt that he now had control of the crowd. This guy seems to still be able to keep himself intact. I admire his mentality.

"Xiao Lingyi, I can't help but admire you. How do you dare to kill the entire sect for a woman? Should I compliment you for doing so for beauty, or does it mean that women are more important than the sect to you?

"I pity that I'm your sect mate!"

Lin Fan shook his head and sighed. He looked as if he was embarrassed to have Xiao Lingyi as his sect mate. He then turned to Liu Ruochen, who was not far away. "Senior Sister Liu, as a woman, you should strive to improve constantly. You might not have anything good in you, but as long as you make the effort, you will at least reap what you sow.

"But now, you're making a mess in the sect, seducing man everywhere and making them fall out with each other. You're cunning, too. The smack with this frying pan I gave you today is not because I dislike you, but to let you know that not everyone will be on your side. Remember, you are unable to act as you wish simply because you have the looks.

"To me, no matter how pretty you look, you're just a pink skeleton. Inner beauty is more valuable than a gorgeous appearance." (TL note)

After that, Lin Fan turned away, not even sparing Liu Ruochen a glance.

The spectating disciples were enlightened by Senior Brother Lin's words. To them, Senior Brother Lin made sense, and they were convinced by him.

And after some thought, they realized that his words were right. Because of Liu Ruochen, the senior brothers in the inner sect were fighting with each other, destroying the peace in the sect.

But there had been nobody who dared to voice it out. Since Senior Brother Lin had now done so today, it was time they got rid of such a problem in the sect.

"Haha!" Just then, Xiao Lingyi laughed deeply. "Sharp-tongued. Indeed, sharp-tongued."

He turned to Lin Fan, anger could be seen swimming in his eyes. "How brainwashing and sugar-coated your words are, huh? I'm going to give you a lesson today."

Lin Fan's heart sank. Is he going to come at me for real? There's a huge difference between our power! I might not be able to defeat him.

"I'm going to make you kneel down and admit your mistake for hurting Junior Sister Liu." Xiao Lingyi stared into the distance. He clenched his fist tightly, and earth energy surged. Even though he was going to spare Lin Fan's life, he was determined to give Lin Fan a huge lesson.

Just when Lin Fan was ready to fight back with all his might, a voice boomed across the sky.

"My disciple, stand still. I'm going to take a look at the bully that dares to bully you in the sect." Two figures stepped out of the sky in an imposing manner.

The spectating disciples kneeled down in respect after seeing the elders.

"Greetings, Elder Tian Xu and Elder Huo Rong."

Every disciple was full of respect for the elders that made their appearance. The appearance of the elders who rarely showed themselves left all disciples present thrilled.

In the sect, the elders with high status did not interfere in any matter unless it held huge importance.

Seeing Elder Tian Xu, Liu Ruochen's face fell. She was afraid that troubled had arrived.

Xiao Lingyi's heart raced seeing the elders. He might've been part of the Skies of Zhong Peak, but even his peak leader Senior Brother Wan dared not act frivolously in front of the elders.

The ten peak leaders might've been of a higher status than most elders, but in front of the most powerful elders of the sect, there was no difference between the peak leaders and ordinary disciples.

"Disciple Xiao Lingyi greets elders." Xiao Lingyi trembled. He got to the ground and bowed to the elders in respect.

"Hmph." Elder Tian Xu sneered, making Xiao Lingyi's legs turn to jelly. Elder Tian Xu's demeanor made him feel like begging for forgiveness immediately.

"My disciple, ask him if he dares to touch you," Elder Tian Xu said.

Lin Fan heaved a sigh of relief. So my dearest master has been taking notice of me all the time. He used the words that I used too.

Since my dearest master is here, I feel so powerful.

"Senior Brother Xiao, my master might be here, but I, Lin Fan, am not someone arrogant. My master asks you if you dare to touch me."

Xiao Lingyi was boiling with anger, but he had his head lowered.

"Master, he says that he dares not." Lin Fan turned to Elder Tian Xu with respect.

Elder Tian Xu nodded lightly. "Disciple, what do you think should be done?"

After a short pause, Lin Fan cupped his fist. "Even though Senior Sister Liu has bullied my little brother and Senior Brother Xiao wants to kill my entire family, this disciple is still forgiving. To your humble disciple, where it's possible to forgive one, he should be spared."

Elder Tian Xu nodded softly before turning to Xiao Lingyi. "If you're going to murder my disciple's family, are you going to murder me too!?" he yelled.

Plop!

Xiao Lingyi trembled and kneeled to the ground immediately. His face turned as pale as a sheet of paper. "Mighty Elder, please forgive this disciple who talks without thinking. Please forgive me!"

Lin Fan sighed. He changes so fast, where was his demeanor that he had before? Now he's kneeling down just like that?

This is such a disappointment.

A person like this is not worthy of being my opponent. He'll only be my points at most.

After a moment of silence, Lin Fan stepped out. "Master, disciple feels that Senior Brother Xiao is pardonable. Everyone makes mistakes, as long as he's remorseful, that's more than enough."

Elder Tian Xu looked at Lin Fan weirdly. He never thought that Lin Fan would make such a comment.

Xiao Lingyi looked up at Lin Fan in shock too. He did not know why Lin Fan chose to speak for him.

Just then, Lin Fan made another comment. "However, this incident caused by Senior Brother Xiao has affected both the inner and outer sect largely. He should receive the punishment he deserves."

Xiao Lingyi immediately did a few kowtows. "Disciple knows my mistake. Disciple is willing to be subjected to punishment, please spare my life, elder."

It was absolutely against morality to talk about murdering one's elders.

Elder Tian Xu said nothing, as if he was waiting for Lin Fan to finish his words.

"For this incident, Senior Brother Xiao can be spared from the death sentence, but he should still be punished. Disciple feels that abolishing his cultivating and kicking him out of the sect is the best choice."

As soon as Lin Fan said this, Xiao Lingyi nearly suffocated.

Elder Huo Rong, standing at the side, was greatly shocked too.

Abolishing his cultivation? What's the difference from taking his life, then?

Could be spared from the death sentence, but he should still be punished, huh?

That's so cruel.

Chapter 104: Acting Cool Naturally

Xiao Lingyi was initially surprised by Lin Fan speaking up for him, but upon hearing Lin Fan's next words, his bloodshot eyes opened wide.

"You're so cruel." Xiao Lingyi stared at Lin Fan in disbelief.

Lin Fan frowned. Cruel?

There's no such thing. I guess he can't appreciate my goodwill. Do you know how many great masters became even determined and achieved great success after a setback?

But it's such a pity that Xiao Lingyi is not such a person.

If Xiao Lingyi receives the punishments that I have suggested, I will kill him when he's out of the sect and take all his possessions.

"Hmph!" Elder Tian Xu sneered, making Xiao Lingyi look down in fear.

Xiao Lingyi was aware that, if Elder Tian Xu decided to abolish his cultivation, there would be nobody who would speak up for him. All he could do was beg for forgiveness and hope that Elder Tian Xu would let him off.

He had not thought that Lin Fan would be so cunning as to trick him.

Xiao Lingyi only said he would kill Lin Fan's entire family out of anger.

It wouldn't be a problem if Elder Tian Xu did not hear it, but never would he have expected that Elder Tian Xu would be in hiding and listening to his words and make his appearance afterward.

Elder Huo Rong, who put the sect first, felt that it would be a loss to the sect if Xiao Lingyi were to have his cultivation abolished. He's a pillar of strength for the sect.

But before he could voice his thoughts, somebody beat him to it.

"Elder Tian Xu, please be lenient." A voice boomed across the sky. A man could be seen flying over. Within no time, he was standing next to Xiao Lingyi.

Seeing this person, Xiao Lingyi fell to the ground. "Senior Brother Wan, please save me…!"

Wan Zhongtian stared at him coldly and turned to Elder Tian Xu. "Elder Tian Xu, please do spare him. If there's a next time, I'll take action against him personally and won't bring Elder Tian Xu any trouble.

"And this should be Junior Brother Lin. You're surely a giant among men, neither haughty nor humble. I hope that Junior Brother Lin won't take this matter to heart."

Skies of Zhong Peak leader, Wan Zhongtian, had arrived personally to bail Xiao Lingyi out.

Liu Ruochen walked to Wan Zhongtian to greet him. "Greetings, Senior Brother Wan."

Seeing Liu Ruochen, Wan Zhongtian couldn't help but hold his breath. Terrible. She looks terrible. He then diverted his attention to Lin Fan. Wow, he sure does have a hard heart.

Liu Ruochen was of no importance to Wan Zhongtian. The only thing that mattered to him was the relationship between Liu Ruochen and the Saint Convent Sect.

"Junior Sister Liu, please take this incident to heart and never act rashly ever again." As the peak leader of the Skies of Zhong Peak, Liu Ruochen had to show Wan Zhongtian respect.

Liu Ruochen knew that the matter had already come to an end. "I will remember Senior Brother's words by heart." She nodded.

Wan Zhongtian then turned to Xiao Lingyi, who had fallen to the ground. "Get up," he said coldly. "Apologize to Elder Tian Xu and Junior Brother Lin, now! If you shoot your mouth once again, there's no need for your mouth to exist in this world."

Xiao Lingyi trembled. "Yes, Senior Brother."

To the spectating disciples, it was a surreal day. Not only did they get to see the elders that rarely made an appearance, they saw Senior Brother Wan from the Skies of Zhong Peak too.

Lin Fan had been silent since Wan Zhongtian arrived. He scanned the man in front of him. He has looks, and he's manly. Oh, he gives off the feeling that he's an ambitious person too. A master is different from ordinary figures.

I might have won with my mouth and back up this time around, but if I wish to act as I want, then I will need the ability to do so.

However, the act of spouting rubbish and having support is also considered ability.

But this person is a little bit too arrogant. As soon as he arrived, he thinks that the stage is his and he has the ability to take control of the situation.

He needs a spanking.

Watching Wan Zhongtian take the situation into his hands, Huo Rong sighed. He knew that Tian Xu was angered.

He had known Tian Xu since they were young, how would he not know how Tian Xu was?

Wan Zhongtian looked confident. He had his arms behind his back, and he stood high in front of the crowd. As the peak leader of the Skies of Zhong Summit, his bearing was not something that an ordinary cultivator would bear.

Xiao Lingyi stood in front of Elder Tian Xu and Lin Fan and bowed. "Disciple knows my mistake. I ask for Elder Tian Xu and Junior Brother's forgiveness."

Elder Tian Xu did not reply. No emotion could be seen on his face.

Wan Zhongtian nodded softly and lifted his hand up. "Zhongtian will not further trouble Elder and Junior Brother anymore. I will give him the punishment he deserves when we return."

Just then, Elder Tian Xu, who had remained silent, reached out his hand suddenly and placed it on Wan Zhongtian's head.

Wan Zhongtian broke out into cold sweat. Elder Tian Xu made the surroundings freeze just be raising his hand. Wan Zhongtian could not even move.

Pat!

His palm landed on Wan Zhongtian's head. Elder Tian Xu caressed him lightly, but a terrifying aura could be felt.

"Wan Zhong, I see that you've grown up."

It might've only been eight words, but they were like thunder to Wan Zhongtian. He gulped as cold beads of sweat ran down his forehead.

"Back then, you bowed to me respectfully, asking me to take you in as a disciple. Now, you're the peak leader of the Skies of Zhong Peak, who is able to act naturally around me. I'm pleased to see this," Elder Tian Xu said calmly while caressing Wan Zhongtian's head. It looked as if he was praising Wan Zhongtian.

But Elder Tian Xu's words woke Wan Zhongtian up. After becoming a peak leader, Wan Zhongtian started to think that he was high above others and that he had the ability to take every situation into his hands after having power and influence for years.

If it was any other ordinary elder, he would be able to resolve the issue with his status, but it was Elder Tian Xu he came across today. Wan Zhongtian suddenly realized that he had made a grave mistake.

"Master, disciple thinks that he's being presumptuous." Lin Fan dug his ears, saying in a relaxed manner.

Elder Tian Xu smiled thinly. "Disciple, let master give you a lesson today. Act how you should, and do not try to cross the lines."

Lin Fan nodded. "Master, disciple will remember your words by heart."

Elder Tian Xu might've been speaking to Lin Fan, but to Wan Zhongtian, the words were directed at him.

"Elder, I…" Wan Zhongtian's arrogance was all gone in an instant.

Elder Tian Xu said no more and took a glance at Wan Zhongtian. However, this glance was able to make Wan Zhongtian drop to the ground immediately.

"Please forgive me, Elder. Zhongtian knows my mistake." Wan Zhongtian looked down immediately. He had come to understand that his current status was nothing in Elder Tian Xu's eyes.

The ten peak leaders who were fighting for the seat of Sect Leader stood high above any ordinary disciple.

But what were they to Elder Tian Xu?

They were nothing.

Seeing that Senior Brother Wan had knelt down, Xiao Lingyi did the same too.

Elder Tian Xu kept his hand and turned back to Lin Fan. "Disciple, have you collected your Inner disciple package?"

"No, Master. I came here early in the morning. I haven't had the time to do so."

"Then let's go collect the package."

"Yes, Master."

Lin Fan had long returned to his usual height. He took a glance at Wan Zhongtian, who was still kneeling on the ground, and snickered.

I didn't know Master was so dominating. I couldn't tell. I was nearly deceived by his appearance.

He's even better at acting cool compared to me! There's still a lot that I need to learn.

As Lin Fan and Elder Tian Xu walked off into a distance, Qin Shan followed.

They shrunk into the distance, but their conversation could be clearly heard.

"Master, when do they have to kneel til? Next year?"

"Tomorrow."

"Oh, that's such a pity."

Chapter 105: Cultivating Hard

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Looking at Wan Zhongtian kneeling on the ground, Huo Rong sighed and took his leave. He rarely interfered in feuds among disciples. Moreover, if one thought that they were above everything and could overlook the best elders in the sect just because they were one of the peak leaders, then they were digging their own grave.

He knew that Tian Xu was being lenient to Wan Zhongtian. If this incident took place about twenty years ago, the punishment for Wan Zhongtian might've been way more severe than just kneeling down on the spot, taking into consideration Tian Xu's temper back then.

However, there was something that Huo Rong understood from this incident; Tian Xu's direct disciple was very important to him.

Even though Huo Rong still did not understand what was good about Lin Fan even now.

The spectating disciples were at a loss about what was going on.

They had no idea why their Senior Brother Wan, who was here to save the day, would suddenly kneel down to the ground. After a few glances, the crowd scattered.

It's not a good idea to watch Senior Brother Wan kneel on the ground. If we were so unlucky that he remembered us, how would we continue living in the sect?

Liu Ruochen caressed her swollen cheek. Her feeling of indignity was long gone. The outcome of this incident was something that Liu Ruochen never expected. She never thought that Wan Zhongtian would be pulled down the waters for such a small incident.

If I knew that this would happen, I would not have been so impulsive.

Wan Zhongtian currently had his head lowered down. He was feeling conflicted, but there was nothing else he could do.

He had remained composed in front of Elder Tian Xu because he wanted to let Elder Tian Xu regret not sparing him an eye when he pleaded to become his disciple. Do you regret now, after seeing that I'm standing high up above everyone?

But now, he knew that he was just a joke. Even now, Elder Tian Xu had still not spared him a glance.

On Heaven's Retribution Peak, Jun Wutian stood at the peak of the mountain, gazing toward the inner sect from afar. He could see all that was taking place at the scene clearly. Jun Wutian's robe danced in the wind as he lowered his head, pondering.

"Threatening Wan Zhongtian… and us?"

Just then, a ray of light shone past. A figure that resembled the god of war appeared right in front of Jun Wutian. His fighting intent could be strongly felt. "Jun Wutian, do you get it now? Elder Tian Xu has suppressed Wan Zhongtian just for his precious disciple."

"Zhan Hongdi, what are you trying to say?"

"Haha, Jun Wutian, are you still unable to understand? Elder Tian Xu is paving the way for his disciple. Do you think that it's impossible for the ten peaks of the Magnificent Flame Sect to become the eleven peaks of the Magnificent Flame Sect?" Zhan Hongdi had a pair of eyes that was similar to any man, but his will to fight could be seen burning in his eyes ferociously.

This was an indication that he had gotten his cultivation to the limit and had it totally comprehended.

"You're going to break through?" Jun Wutian did not reply to Zhan Hongdi's question. He could feel Zhan Hongdi's strong will to fight, which gave him a shock. It felt as if Zhan Hongdi was dying to overtake others.

"Breakthrough? There's still a long way to go. However, the other seven peak leaders have already gone out of the sect in search of their chance to break through so they can catch up with you. They will soon be able to achieve that. Please beware or the first peak of the sect will become the last peak of the sect." Zhan Hongdi laughed and changed his tone. "I heard that the sect is furious with the destruction of the Imperial Sword Pavilion and the death of the three elders of the Imperial Sword Pavilion. They are currently hunting the murderer down. I wonder if you know about this."

"Zhan Hongdi, what are you trying to say exactly?" Jun Wutian kept a poker face. "Have you already forgotten how it feels to be living under my feet?"

Crack!

The cracking of bones could be heard. Fires of fury could be seen burning in Zhan Hongdi's orbs as he heard Jun Wutian's words. Slowly, he disappeared into thin air, and soon he was nowhere to be seen.

"Jun Wutian, I hope you will be the last one laughing."

"Damn it." An icy aura could be felt, destroying and shattering all plants in the surroundings. "Hongdi, one day, I'll let you know what regret is."

Hall of the Inner Sect:

Elder Tian Xu had taken his leave.

Lin Fan brought along Qin Shan and his junior brothers to collect the rewards for becoming an inner sect disciple.

To him, the incident that took place today was nothing much. It was just a brief episode to him. And ever since Wan Zhongtian made his appearance, Lin Fan knew that it would be that guy's unlucky day.

Look, he's indeed unlucky.

Lu Qiming and the rest were still in deep shock. The incident today had left them mind-blown.

At the same time, they were happy for Lin Fan that Elder Tian Xu came to resolve all Lin Fan's problems. This was a situation that everyone looked forward to, and they were all hoping that they would gain a master like Elder Tian Xu.

Of course, these were just hopes.

The disciple of the Hall of the Inner Sect came out with a huge stack of items. "Senior Brother, all your items are here."

Lin Fan took a badge made of iron and took a look at it. This was the evidence of an inner sect disciple. As for other items, clothes, room allocation, and so on were all included too.

"Junior Brothers, let's go and take a look at the inner disciples' residence." Lin Fan waved his hand and set off with the group.

There was a huge difference between the benefits received by an outer disciple and an inner disciple. As an inner disciple, one would get a courtyard to himself, which was something that outer disciples would not.

At the same time, an inner disciple was eligible to collect two mystic-level skillsets from the Hall of Skills, but that was not of any use to Lin Fan for now.

How would I have the points to use on other skillsets when I have not even gotten enough to get those that I'm cultivating right now to the maximum level?

"There's such a huge difference between the inner and the outer sect." Huang Fugui gasped, looking at the courtyard.

The courtyard came with a garden and benches made of stone. It might not have been grand, but it was good enough for one to relax after cultivating hard.

"Junior Brothers, cultivate hard and become inner disciples soon. By then, we can be neighbors again." Lin Fan laughed.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhang should be the next to become an inner sect disciple after Senior Brother Lin," Huang Fugui said.

Amongst them, excluding Lin Fan and Qin Shan, Zhang Long was the one with the highest cultivation, while Gao Dazhuang was the worst.

But Gao Dazhuang always cultivated with Yin Xiaotian, and they had always broken through together. As brothers, they broke through to the next stage together,

After a short conversation, Lin Fan sent all of them off.

Lin Fan returned to the room and looked around it. It's big enough and has a good environment. It's a great place. All that's left to do is to cultivate hard now.

"Haish, I'm at my wit's end. Ten peak leaders and I have offended two within no time. I wonder if they will try to kill me when I am out of the sect. I need to be more careful.

"Of course, I could sneak out of the sect and they would not know. This is a great choice too.

"Power. Now, power is the most important. I will get myself to Earth Star Border Stage Three within this period of time before going out to get my points. I will increase my power and strengthen my foundation as an Earth Star Border Stage Three."

Lin Fan had already made plans for the near future. I must make use of this chance since I'm in such great conditions.

He took out a few bottles of pills from the storage ring. Some were collected from the Hall of the Inner Sect, and they were not of a high class. However, the pills he had gotten from his master were treasures.

Chapter 106: As Long as I Still Have My Beauty, I'm Still a Flirt

In both the outer and inner sects, everybody was talking about the incident of Wan Zhongtian being punished by Elder Tian Xu.

This incident also gave many disciples a great shock.

To them, the ten peak leaders were above all, including emperors. The ten peak leaders were the best in the universe to the disciples, but their Senior Brother Wan from the Skies of Zhong Peak was punished by Elder Tian Xu to kneel on the spot.

And it was all because of a minor incident. It's no different from humiliating our senior brother! How will he be able to continue being a prestigious figure in the sect from now on?

Everyone was aware that the ten peak leaders were the best candidates for the position of sect leader, and the sect was willing to nurture them into notable figures among other disciples.

However, Elder Tian Xu suppressed Senior Brother Wan and had him kneel in the inner sect in front of the public. How was Wan Zhongtian going to fight for the position of sect leader in the future?

Not only that, this also showed that the new inner sect disciple, who was the cause of the incident, was Elder Tian Xu's disciple – someone that nobody, not even the ten peak leaders, could offend.

Such a domineering and protective teacher made everyone look at Lin Fan with envy.

And Lin Fan, who everyone was envious of, was currently busy cultivating. He was cultivating the Immovable Earth Body. A large amount of earth energy surged up from the ground into Lin Fan's body and fused with it.

Experience points 5

He had already taken all the pills, but they were too low in class to give Lin Fan much experience points. On the other hand, the bottle of pills he got from Elder Tian Xu was magical.

They increased the size of his Earth Inner Core and increased his strength and power.

There was no doubt that the pills cost an arm and a leg. However, they were not used to gain experience points, so Lin Fan only took one per day.

With his ability, he was able to become a champion among anyone in the same cultivation realm as him since both his earth energy and strength were way greater than even an ordinary Earth Star Border Stage Four.

Of course, he believed that there were many disciples who were able to defeat cultivators of higher cultivations.

The understanding of skillsets and how developed one's Earth Inner Core was were things that one could not simply achieve with cultivation.

Take the ten peak leaders as an example. There was no doubt that there would be cultivators at the same level as them, but what differentiated them was their comprehension and insight, which were incomparable to ordinary cultivators.

A normal cultivator challenging a peak leader would result in an immediate loss.

Even though I might have my master behind my back now, the future is unpredictable still. There's nobody who can promise smooth sailing forever. So, I must become powerful, as that will be the only thing that matters at that point.

And I should not dream of making use of my master's name to gain advantages in the sect. It is impossible.

He might have just become my master, but I can tell that Elder Tian Xu is a strict master. He is here to help me out this round because the other party was too powerful for me to handle, so it counted as them bullying me. But if I go around the sect swindling others with master's name, he would slap me into mincemeat without the need for others to do so.

Days passed.

Every time Lin Fan was worn out, he would commit suicide with his Tai Sovereign Sword. It was a good weapon that killed without making one lose much blood. I'm sincerely thankful to the grandpas.

And I promise that I'll take revenge for all of you. However, I'm too weak now, so I need time to grow.

Three days later, Lin Fan opened his eyes and checked his experience points. He currently had about 1.2 million points, but he was still unable to level up.

"Oh, my life. How much experience do I need to get from Earth Star Border Stage Two to Earth Star Border Stage Three?" Lin Fan cursed in his mind. This is driving me insane.

He pushed the door open, ready to take a breath of fresh air, only to be taken aback. There was someone who was squatting outside his door. What the hell?

"How long have you been there?" Lin Fan asked.

Qin Shan's eyes shone seeing Lin Fan. "Elder Brother, I will always be by your side to protect you."

Lin Fan wanted to caress Qin Shan's head, but he was hindered by his height. "Squat down," he said calmly.

He caressed his head slowly, while pleasure could be seen on Qin Shan's face. "My idiotic younger brother, why are you so stupid? Get back to your home right now. Elder Brother permits you to squat outside my door for a few hours each day."

"Elder Brother…" Qin Shan stared at Lin Fan, looking wronged.

"Get going," Lin Fan said oppressively.

Qin Shan stood up slowly. His body that was about the height of a small hill covered the striking ray of sunlight that was shining on Lin Fan with his shadow. "Yes, Elder Brother."

When Qin Shan left, Lin Fan sighed helplessly. "Don't tell me that I will be pestered by this idiotic younger brother forever."

A smile crept up his mouth. "This might be nice too," he whispered.

He returned to his room. Lin Fan would never slack when it came to cultivation. I won't stop until I get to Earth Star Border Stage Three.

In another room in the inner sect:

As the most popular senior sister in the inner sect, Liu Ruochen enjoyed privileges that were exclusive to her.

It had been three days since the incident, but she could not forget it. Every time she shut her eyes, the incident was vivid in her mind.

Looking at her younger sister lying on the bed, Liu Ruochen was at a loss for words. It was unknown whether Liu Yue was dead or alive.

Suddenly, a soft voice could be heard.

"Elder Sister." Liu Yue woke up dazedly. She was unaware of how long she had been unconscious, but warmth filled her heart when she saw her elder sister standing by the window. It showed that at least her sister would not watch her get injured with folded arms.

Liu Ruochen did not reply. Not only did she not care about how her younger sister was, she was regretting that she had chosen to fight for the injustice of her younger sister, which had landed her into trouble.

"Is he dead? That fellow." Liu Yue thought about Qin Shan and Lin Fan as soon as she woke up.

She knew that Lin Fan would definitely be alive. But Qin Shan, who dared to punch me, must die! I am dying to drink his blood and consume his flesh!

She was pampered by many disciples, but it was all gone for her now. That hateful guy! If it wasn't for him, I would not be in this situation!

Hearing that, Liu Ruochen lost her calm and screamed at Liu Yue. "Shut up, shut your mouth up! Do you know how many people you have pulled down the waters with you?"

Liu Yue was dumbfounded. She had never seen her elder sister rage, and she would not have thought that, one day, her emotionless and icy-cold elder sister would shout and scream at her like a madwoman.

This is different from the elder sister in my impression.

Suddenly, something crossed her mind. She hurried down the bed to get the mirror and looked into it.

Seeing herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"It's still there, it's still there."

If I lose my beauty, then I would really have nothing left.

Report chapter

Chapter 107: They're Too Powerful

"If one time isn't enough, then I'll continue committing suicide."

Lin Fan had not done anything other than cultivating during this period of time. Whenever he felt tired mentally or unable to sit still, he would commit suicide.

Earth energy congealed in his body as his Earth Inner Core continued growing. Lin Fan stopped cultivating to check his experience points.

2.2 million.

"This should be enough."

Only after breaking through to Earth Star Border Stage Three, where his earth energy would solidify, would Lin Fan be able to manifest anything he wanted. However, this was just the start. He could only advance into actually attacking after more training with his earth energy.

To the ten peak leaders, they were able to congeal a palm that was extremely large with their earth energy. That was an example of getting one's earth energy to the state where it was unbreakable.

He pressed on the plus sign and increased his cultivation.

Within a split second, the earth energy in Lin Fan upsurged, making his Earth Inner Core spin rapidly and increase in size.

After getting all four of his skillsets to the maximum level and taking the pills given to him by his master, the earth energy in Lin Fan's body was way stronger than an ordinary cultivator at the same cultivation.

All his accumulations were already at the fullest stage. After entering Earth Star Border Stage Three, he would continue accumulating or he would not have a strong foundation when he broke through to Earth Star Border Stage Four, and that would cause him to no longer be the strongest among his peers.

How would Lin Fan accept the fact of being weaker than cultivators at the same cultivation? He must suppress all of them.

消耗2000000苦修值.

Experience points -2,000,000

Cultivation: Earth Star Border Stage Three ()

He made some explosions sound with his arms and spread out his fingers. His earth energy was able to change into any shape that he liked, but that was of no use for now. It was unable to create any destruction.

"My earth energy is congealing slowly, but I still have a long way to go."

As soon as Lin Fan broke through, the accumulations in his body dispersed. It must have all been used up when I broke through.

Points. I need points now.

The Magic of the Seven Gods is still waiting for me quietly! But the points needed are overbearing. Sixty thousand points is too much.

He pushed his door open.

Qin Shan was still squatting down.

"Little Brother, come with me." Lin Fan hooked his fingers and set off to the Hall of Pills.

It gave me jitters to have a huge amount of money on me since it feels like it will be snatched away by others any day. It feels best to spend it away.

Qin Shan was still squatting down on the ground, drawing circles. "Oh," he said and followed after Lin Fan like a bodyguard.

In the sect, nobody dared to get close to Qin Shan as they knew he was insane. Nobody wanted to get punched to their death for no reason.

In the Hall of Pills, there were many varieties of pills on display. Mortal-level pills did not spark Lin Fan's interest anymore. He only cared about Mystic- and Earth-level pills now.

However, Earth-level pills were way more expensive. Thus, he would need to choose wisely with his six million YHB.

Mystic middle-class support pill, First Green Spiritual Pill, forty thousand.

The pill was extremely costly, but it could help increase one's vital breath and make one's overbearing earth energy become gentle to a point where it was gentle yet strong at the same time. This was extremely beneficial to Lin Fan, and it would improve Lin Fan's skillsets.

He bought the pill after some thought.

Looking at other pills…

Mystic high-class cultivation pills, 1.2 million.

Purchase.

Purchase!

Purchase!

At last, Lin Fan had spent all six million YHB. A chill ran down his spine, but seeing the pills in his storage ring, he was satisfied.

It's such a great feeling to buy pills with others' money! I'm so satisfied that I am unable to put my feelings into words.

Taking a trip out of the sect is the only way to get rich. You will never be able to do so if you just stay in the sect.

I have made up my mind, I must take a trip out of the sect. There's nobody who can stop me.

I do not fear if you want to assassinate or create trouble for me either. There's nobody who can stop my will of making a trip out of the sect.

"Little Brother, let's go. We are going back." Lin Fan moved his fingers and left the Hall of Pills under the eyes of the disciples who were flabbergasted.

This was the first time that the Hall of Pills disciple had ever seen such a rich third-class inner disciple who could afford so many expensive pills. I might not be able to afford some of them in my entire life!

It's hard to imagine being that rich.

"Eh?" Just then, Lin Fan saw a person walking toward him, and the main point was that there was a group of male disciples surrounding her.

Liu Yue!

The woman that was sent flying off by Qin Shan.

Such a pity that she survived.

With Qin Shan's ability, it's enough to kill her in one punch.

At the same time, Liu Yue, who was enjoying the attention from the male disciples, saw the person that angered her.

The male disciples next to her turned toward the front too. When they saw Lin Fan and Qin Shan, they were filled with anger. They are the ones who injured my goddess.

But they dared not act presumptuously as Qin Shan was insane and Lin Fan was Elder Tian Xu's direct disciple.

When Lin Fan walked over with Qin Shan, fear could be seen on Liu Yue's pretty face, but a thought crossed her mind and fear was soon replaced with complacency.

Liu Yue's beauty was nothing to Lin Fan. He only took a brief stop since he was surprised that she was not yet dead.

He passed by Liu Yue, getting ready to return to his house.

"Hold on." Liu Yue turned around, sounding pleased.

Lin Fan stopped in his tracks, a smile creeping up his mouth. "What? Do you want to have a taste of death again?

"I can certainly fulfil that wish."

Liu Yue stopped in her tracks slightly, but courage rushed up to her heart. "Junior Sister will always remember what Senior Brother did to me. Junior Sister will thank Senior Brother well in the future."

"There's no need. It was only a small matter."

Liu Yue had her nose high up in the air. She had forgotten about the incident that took place some time ago. "Oh, right, a month later, the Saint Convent Sect's religious brother will be here to fetch my sister to the Saint Convent Sect. I will go along too. He would surely be interested to know about the things you did to me and my elder sister."

Her smile was so wide that it blinded everyone's eyes.

"Ah!" Just at this time, Qin Shan went from calm to suddenly insane. He clenched his fist and sent it toward Liu Yue.

Boom!

Liu Yue was sent spinning 720 degrees in the air and flew into the distance. When she landed, she did a few turns before coming to a stop and lying on the ground motionlessly.

"My idiotic brother, what are you doing!?" Lin Fan yelled after recovering from his shock.

Qin Shan calmed down. He stared at Lin Fan in confusion as if he had already forgotten about what just happened a second ago. "Elder Brother, what did I do?"

Lin Fan sighed and turned to the dumbfounded disciples. "My younger brother is crazy. He's unable to control his actions, it was unintentional." He raised his hands and waved them. "Get going to save her, she might be still alive."

"Younger Brother, go home with me. How many times have I said to not beat others up? Why do you not listen?" Lin Fan said in pain and remorse.

Qin Shan shook his head. "Elder Brother, I did not beat anyone up. I listen to you well."

"Yes, I know you do. Please be harsher next time. I do not want to see her alive again."

"Yes, Elder Brother."

Under the sunset, both shadows became longer as the figures slowly disappeared out of sight.

Somewhere, Feng Shaoyun sat on the ground. He clenched his fists so hard that his nails dug into his palms. He bit his lips to prevent himself from crying out. "Junior Sister, you told me to not look for you. I know you're angry at me for being weak and cowardly, but it's really not the case.

"They're too powerful.

"Senior Brother will work hard to become powerful. You must wait for my return, my poor junior sister."

Chapter 108: I'm Broke, Very Broke

In Lin Fan's room:

"It's not a good idea to keep cultivating. I will need the use of pills, which takes up too much money."

When he opened his eyes, he could feel that changes had taken place to his earth energy. The First Green Spiritual Pill was a type of support pill that helped increase one's vital breath and make one's overbearing earth energy become gentle to the point where it was gentle yet strong at the same time.

This was an essential factor that would help an Earth Star Border Stage Three break through to Earth Star Border Stage Four.

"Indeed, the further I go, the tougher it becomes. But if you don't build a strong foundation, you will be the worst among your peers of the same cultivation.

"Luckily, I managed to strengthen my foundation at the start accidentally or I would be in deep regret now."

Lin Fan shivered. He had started to level up his skillsets ever since he was in the Body Tempering Realm. This gave him an extremely strong foundation.

It's still not too late to realize the benefits of it.

As the child of Mother Earth, the Three Pure Ones will surely envelop me.

Six million only gave me a few pills in exchange, but they contributed largely.

Lin Fan raised his hand. The crystal-clear pill between his fingers was exceptionally eye-catching. This pill was an Earth low-class support pill, the First Hundred Refinements Star Pill. It could allow one's earth energy to be thoroughly tempered and become pure and solid.

It's the last one, and it's time to take it now.

Lin Fan swallowed it down.

The pill melted in Lin Fan's body. Instantly, many tiny men holding hammers spread out all across his body, hammering his earth energy with the hammers and sending banging sounds all around.

Strong and thoroughly tempered.

The hammers containing terrifying energy slammed down on Lin Fan's earth energy, thundering through his body.

Unwanted gas burped out Lin Fan's mouth, dispersing in the air. He was releasing the impurities in his earth energy.

A First Hundred Refinements Star Pill was enough to refine a normal cultivator's earth energy, but Lin Fan's earth energy was denser compared to cultivators of the same cultivation. Not only that, but his earth energy capacity was also many times greater than any other.

A First Hundred Refinements Star Pill was far from enough for him. Even two wouldn't be enough.

What was more terrifying was that Lin Fan was so broke that he could not even afford a Mortal-level pill. If he wished to strike the jackpot once again, he could only leave the sect and play the role of a sneaky guy who killed others to rob their assets.

I would be able to get some from my master, but it would expose my secret since the pills Master gave me are already enough for any regular genius.

But I'm way more than a genius, so I cultivate differently too.

Moreover, I level up my skillsets with points.

I can use them for the lottery too since there's a possibility that it would let me skyrocket.

Everyone in the sect was talking about the news of Liu Yue being punched, again.

The disciples were all dumbfounded. They were at a total loss. How unlucky is Liu Yue this month? She was punched again as soon as she woke up, and by the same person too.

Qin Shan, the mad man.

This made no sense.

Liu Yue might've been Liu Ruochen's younger sister, but everyone was aware of the consequence that Liu Ruochen received when she brought along her senior brothers to find trouble with Qin Shan.

Wan Zhongtian, the peak leader of the Skies of Zhong Peak, was punished to kneel in the inner sect in front of the public.

The thought of it terrified everyone. Who would dare to look for Qin Shan to trouble again?

Angering Elder Tian Xu was as good as dying.

Liu Ruochen was currently in despair. Not with the world, but with her idiotic younger sister. After being used to the life of the miss in the family, she was making use of her beauty in the sect to get pampered by the male disciples. However, in front of true strength…

It wasn't even worth mentioning.

Liu Ruochen was unwilling to let this matter slide like this too. Luckily, the Saint Convent Sect's religious brother who had been courting her would be here in a month's time to fetch her over to the Saint Convent Sect for a tour. That would be her only chance to skyrocket.

Rumors had it that the Saint Convent Sect was as pretty as a paradise. It was exceptionally prosperous, and it was said that the ground of the Saints Convent Sect was paved with fortune.

That might've been an exaggeration, but Liu Ruochen did look forward to it.

The Saint Convent Sect was the largest sect in the world. Any movement from it would have an impact on numerous sects' decision making. It was a sect that everyone yearned for.

When the Sunshine Sect invaded the Magnificent Flame Sect, it infringed on the Saint Convent Sect's control, thus it took action and made the Sunshine Sect retreat and put a stop to the war.

That might've been a secret to ordinary disciples, but with Liu Ruochen's network, she was able to learn about it from her senior brothers.

Looking at Liu Yue lying on the bed, Liu Ruochen seemed to be in a dilemma.

She's such a troublemaker, what's the use of leaving her alive? It might be a good choice to just let her sleep forever.

Liu Ruochen's expression changed slightly when this thought flashed past her mind. It looked as if she was surprised with her thought, too. However, she was unable to get it out of her mind.

She left within no time, as she was afraid that she would make her thought come true if she continued to stay in the room.

Nighttime. The crescent moon filled with numerous holes hung high up in the sky. Frost-like moonlight lit the earth up in a shade of grey.

It was a silent night. All the disciples had already drifted off to dreamland.

A figure could be seen moving sneakily. He took a close look to his left and right. When he realized that there was nobody around, he sprinted forward at lightning speed.

"I never thought that I would need to leave the sect so carefully one day. It's indeed a stupid thing to do to make so many enemies before I'm strong.

"However, there's no such thing as stupid to me. It only makes my life more interesting."

Lin Fan had made up his mind to make his way out of the sect. I can't go on like this, I'm too poor and I have no points. If I do not do something to earn points, how am I going to live on?

There were two disciples guarding the entrance currently. However, with Lin Fan's ability, it was an easy task for him to leave the sect without alerting them. He leapt up high and shot up to the sky.

He landed lightly and looked back at the sect, a smirk creeping up his mouth.

"I'll take my leave first. I will be back soon."

He did not have that many feelings or attachments to the sect. It was just that, after spending a long time at the sect, there were people that he cared about here, which was why he put a pause to his idea of wandering around the world.

With my ability, I'm able to go wherever I want.

When you're strong enough, you can turn a blind eye to anything.

The Magnificent Flame Sect might've seemed calm on the surface, but Lin Fan had come to the conclusion that it would not be easy to deal with things without power after all the incidents he had gotten through.

Especially with the other sects. He had only come across the Sunshine Sect so far, but he did not really like it.

He even hated it.

When I get the chance, I should make a trip to the Sunshine Sect and get some points to boost my power too.

Chapter 109: Valuable Blood

"It's good they have a low IQ. After being absent for some time, the beasts have already forgotten about how full of despair they were previously."

Bang!

Bursting a beast's head with a pinch, fresh blood dripped down Lin Fan's nails and dyed the ground red. He then threw the corpse aside.

Points 90

"These beasts are as good as nothing. They are all in the Body Tempering Realm. Time to search for beasts in the Earth Star Border Realm. Body Tempering Realm beast are like ants to me, they do not give me a sense of accomplishment."

The dead bodies of beasts were all placed in front of Lin Fan. They amounted to the size of a hill, and blood was all over the place. It was just like a scene from hell.

Lin Fan could not even bear to look at it.

"If I did not kill you, I would've been eaten by you guys. It's the food chain. I hope that when you all reincarnate, you will become stronger beasts that can swallow me down successfully."

He stared into the distance, where the core of the Qixia Forest was. It was home to many mighty beasts that had incomparable power. They were once unreachable to Lin Fan, but with his power now, he could step on them all.

He grabbed a beast's tail and dragged it into the pitch-black region of the forest. It was spooky, but to Lin Fan, it felt like a welcome ceremony for him.

I'm hungry, but with my frying pan, I can make a beast's feast for my lunch!

Back in the sect, Elder Tian Xu was starting to miss his disciple. It had been a while since he saw him, and he was starting to wonder how his disciple's cultivation had progressed.

But when Elder Tian Xu arrived at Lin Fan's residence, all he saw was Qin Shan squatting down in front of Lin Fan's door, drawing circles on the ground.

Qin Shan looked up at the elderly man in a daze. He could not recognize him, but he could feel that the elder had something in him that made Qin Shan fear him.

Tian Xu went past Qin Shan, who continued to draw circles on the ground.

He pushed the door open, but there was nobody to be seen. Where is my disciple? he wondered. With himself as the center, Tian Xu spread out his perception like an invisible spider web to all across the sect, but he still could not sense Lin Fan.

Did that kid leave the sect?

That was the only explanation for Lin Fan's disappearance. Elder Tian Xu was glad to see how brave Lin Fan was. Being his direct disciple, Lin Fan would be living under his wings, which would only hinder Lin Fan from growing into an independent person.

Only after being put through numerous dangers could one be reborn into a phoenix and stand on top of the world, enjoying the well-deserved glory.

Watching the sunset, Elder Tian Xu was reminded of his younger days, where he slowly grew up in the cruel world that was like a sea of blood.

Back in Qixia Forest, Lin Fan sat on a log. He was in a good mood. "It was the right thing to do to let my master make me a frying pan. I now have the tools to cook when I'm out."

A piece of meat was sizzling in the frying pan. A layer of golden oil on the meat was bubbling. It looked extremely delicious.

"Let's add some seasoning."

Lin Fan fumbled through his storage ring and took out the seasoning that he prepared earlier and sprinkled it on the meat.

Soon, Lin Fan could smell the fragrance of the meat, indicating that it was almost cooked. Lin Fan would be able to consume it within no time.

Suddenly, numerous roars boomed across the area.

Pairs of golden colored orbs shone brightly through the bushes in the dark.

Plop!

There was the sound of something dripping down.

Lin Fan looked up to see that he was surrounded by a herd of beasts who looked ready to pounce on him.

They were Earth Star Border Stage Two beasts, Golden Flame Ligers.

Lin Fan glanced around quickly. There were twelve beasts in total, and their king had a cultivation of Earth Star Border Stage Two.

A Golden Flame Liger was a beast that was commonly found near the border of the forest's core. They had tremendous strength and bite force quotients. It had been said that they could even bite through steel. If one were to be bitten by a Golden Flame Liger, they would definitely lose a huge chunk of flesh.

To the Magnificent Flame Sect's Hall of Pills, Golden Flame Liger blood was an essential material to make the Mortal high-class Liger Pill.

A Liger Pill was made by congealing the blood of a Golden Flame Liger into a drop using countless techniques. This drop of blood was where all the essence was at.

Lin Fan turned to the Golden Flame Liger king, smiling at it. "Do you want to have a taste of the meat that I have cooked?"

The Golden Flame Liger king might not have been very intelligent, but it could tell that the human standing in front of it wasn't that threatening.

The herd of Golden Flame Ligers could smell the fragrance of the meat. To any living thing, the temptation of good food was irresistible.

The Golden Flame Liger growled, seemingly to warn Lin Fan that the piece of meat now belong to it.

The surrounding Golden Flame Ligers let out numerous growls too. Following their king, the ligers went forward, trying to suppress the man.

"Alright, my food is done." Not afraid of being scalded, Lin Fan took the meat in the frying pan and had a bite. "It's so good," he said as he swallowed the meat, mouth oily from eating. Lin Fan looked as if he was enjoying the food well.

He then tore off a piece and threw it at the Golden Flame Liger king. "Have a taste. It's good. C'mere and eat together."

The Golden Flame Liger king opened its mouth, taking the small piece of meat with its tongue to swallow it down. The flavor of the meat burst out in the Golden Flame Liger king's mouth, making it salivate. The liger's saliva could be seen dripping to the ground, wetting it.

Lin Fan took his frying pan. "Come over and eat together with me. I'm a friendly human being who's willing to share his good things with strangers."

The Golden Flame Liger king led its herd over. It was confident that it would be able to take down the man in front of them. They were certain that Lin Fan would not dare to act presumptuously under their encirclement.

It came over to the man.

The closer the Golden Flame Liger king got, the more attracted it was to the smell.

Lin Fan had a smile on his face, looking friendly. He then took the piece of meat and took a large bite out of it.

Seeing that the man had eaten the delicious meat, the Golden Flame Liger let out a roar of unhappiness.

"Don't be angry, there's more. Taste it." Lin Fan put the frying pan down on the ground, looking harmless, which made the beast let down its guard.

The Golden Flame Liger king came toward Lin Fan slowly. Looking at the meat in the frying pan, the Golden Flame Liger king opened its mouth, revealing its sharp and shiny teeth.

And the smile on Lin Fan's face disappeared.

Violent Body!

"You really dared to eat my food, huh? So confident! I'm not even full!" Lin Fan's body increased in size, and he caught the Golden Flame Liger king with his huge hands.

Sensing danger, the Golden Flame Liger king wanted to avoid Lin Fan's attack. However, Lin Fan lifted it up with his hands.

"If I wasn't so poor that I need to leave you with an intact corpse, you would already be dead." Lin Fan lifted the Golden Flame Liger king up.

The blood of the Golden Flame Liger king was valuable since it could be used to make a Liger King Pill, which was a Mystic low-class pill.

The Golden Flame Liger king growled. It tried to struggle free, but suddenly, a huge force slammed the Golden Flame Liger king to the ground.

The Golden Flame Liger king was no different from a toy to Lin Fan as it crashed into the ground continuously.

Lin Fan held the Golden Flame Liger king's jaw tightly. "You must not vomit blood. It's too valuable for you to waste it, alright?"

Lin Fan only kept the Golden Flame Liger king in his storage ring when it could no longer move.

He then turned to the surrounding beasts and picked up his frying pan, putting the leftover meat in his mouth and chewing it loudly.

"But your blood isn't that valuable.

"So I will not let you die with your corpses intact."

Chapter 110: Extremely Shameless

Witnessing their king being toyed around to death at this man's hands, the Golden Flame Liger herd was in deep pain.

That was their invincible king who was going to lead them to conquer Qixia Forest and lead them to their most beautiful female partners!

But now that their leader was dead, their dreams were shattered too.

Roar!

Growls of anger could be heard. The man standing right in front of them had made a grave mistake. The Golden Flame Ligers were determined to take revenge for their king with all their might.

So what if the man in front of them was very powerful? It wouldn't stop the Golden Flame Ligers from taking their revenge.

"Great. Your king will have died without regrets to have subordinates like you guys." Lin Fan did not expect that, not only would the surviving Golden Flame Ligers stay, but they were also determined to take revenge too. I'm glad to see this.

It's proof that love exists in the world.

Duang~

Lin Fan waved his frying pan, making a whooshing sound. He took out the mace and carried it on his shoulders. The cracking sound when he stretched his neck gained the attention of all the Golden Flame Ligers.

"For your courage, I'll treat you nicer and leave you intact corpses." I have always treated courageous living things with respect. The Golden Flame Ligers might be just beasts, but to me, all living things are equal and deserving of respect.

"Come and take revenge for your king!" He placed his mace on the ground. Lin Fan cracked into a smile. These points in front of me will all be mine. This feels so good!

Roar!

A Golden Flame Liger let out a roar, seemingly to communicate with its peers.

At the same time, the Golden Flame Ligers spread out to all sides, surrounding Lin Fan. They stayed a few meters apart from each other too.

"I see that Golden Flame Ligers aren't that stupid after all. If the Golden Flame Liger king wasn't so careless, his leadership might've brought me trouble."

Lin Fan murmured. Surprising. I didn't know that powerful beasts were starting to make use of tactics now.

But Lin Fan did not take action while they were moving as he respected his enemies. I'll let them get into their formation and make their last effort. By doing so, they will die in peace. Otherwise, they would feel unhappy about how I killed them before they could even get into formation.

Very soon, the Golden Flame Ligers got into formation. Lin Fan had his eyes on a Golden Flame Liger and stepped out. "Here I come…!"

Suddenly, what took place next left Lin Fan astounded.

The Golden Flame Liger herd that was initially prepared to fight suddenly turned away and scattered off. They dashed off at an insane speed and did not even turn back. This made Lin Fan's jaw drop.

"What the hell!? You guys…"After a short pause, Lin Fan dashed after a Golden Flame Liger. "Stand there, you despicable beasts!

"Do you even have gratitude? How can you not take revenge for your king?"

To the Golden Flame Liger herd, Lin Fan was way too powerful for them to take down. If even their king was unable to take him down, how would they be able to do so?

And in every Golden Flame Liger's heart, there was a big dream.

Get more powerful first before coming back in search of the man to take revenge for the king!

They had already discussed their plans well. If they ran off separately, they were sure that Lin Fan would be unable to catch up with them.

Boom!

"Don't go!" Lin Fan ran wildly in the forest with his gigantic body. He chased the Golden Flame Liger who was sprinting away from him. With the frying pan and mace in both his hands, he looked like he was going to kill the Golden Flame Liger if it continued to run away.

The Golden Flame Liger that Lin Fan was chasing after was badly frightened. Fear could be seen swimming in its golden orbs. Why is that man coming after me and not my peers? I'm not tasty at all!

No, I must not die. I am going to run away from him.

The strong desire to survive made the Golden Flame Liger unleash its potential. It dashed so fast that it only left an afterimage behind before it was nowhere to be seen.

"It's too fast! My points have flown away just like this? If I had known this would happen, I would not have killed your king first!"

Chasing after the Golden Flame Liger, regret washed over Lin Fan. He never thought that beasts would behave in this manner. It's a pity that they do not have any integrity.

However, all of a sudden, Lin Fan realized that changes had taken place to his surroundings.

He could hear the calls of birds around the outer range, but now, it was so silent that one could hear a pin drop. It was as if there were no living things in the forest.

There were many huge trees surrounding him and vines that were as huge as a human's arm coiling around the tree trunks. The ground was bumpy too. There were probably also numerous vines under the dirt.

The place was so silent that it was terrifying.

Suddenly, Lin Fan could hear a blood-curdling cry from the front.

Paying attention, Lin Fan could tell that it belonged to the Golden Flame Liger.

"There is a stronger beast in front," Lin Fan muttered. After some thought, he decided to risk it and take a look. Between danger and wealth, Lin Fan chose wealth and decided to take a risk.

I'm immortal after all, there's nothing that I fear. I can just revive later on, no big deal.

He hid behind a tree and peaked out. The scene that welcomed him made his heart sink.

The Golden Flame Liger was wrapped up by numerous vines. It was lifted up in the air, and like living things, the vines danced in the air before coming to an abrupt stop. They then shot down from the air like arrows, piercing through the Golden Flame Liger. The vines turned transparent, and blood could be seen flowing down them.

The strong Golden Flame Liger immediately dried up. All it was left with was skin and bones. Its blood had been all sucked up.

"That's so cruel.

"That vine demon might not be a beast, but it's even scarier than one."

This made things difficult for Lin Fan. He never expected to come across such a troublesome living thing. Look at that Golden Flame Liger. If you were killed by me, you would have at least had an intact corpse and not have died such a terrible death.

A vine demon broke through the darkness and appeared behind Lin Fan, and the tip of the vine, which looked like a flower bud, opened. Small densely packed teeth could be seen in its mouth. It moved slowly and went for Lin Fan's head, trying to pierce through it.

Piak!

"Don't go overboard. I'm not planning to get rid of you, but how dare you ambush me?" Having strong senses, Lin Fan caught the vine demon. He didn't want to look at it any longer seeing how disgusting it looked.

Crack!

Lin Fan snapped the vine demon apart, and dark green blood splatter all over the place.

He waved his hand, flinging the dark green blood off, looking helpless.

"Haish, I've been discovered. Now I am unable to escape." Lin Fan sighed and walked out with his guard up.

Whoosh!

Lin Fan could hear the swishing sounds from his surroundings. It was obvious that the vine demons had blocked his escape route.

No wonder it's so silent in here. It's because this is their home.

No matter what living things entered, they would end up dying a terrible death; to have their blood sucked dry and become nutrition to these demons!
