From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

"Argh."

The soldier cried out in pain as he held onto his chest.

Zhao Jia Rui held the bloody red stone in her hands as it glowed bright red and caused the soldier's blood circulation to reverse.

She lunged at him with a half-crescent slash, slicing the lower jaw off the soldier's head.

The soldier fell from the Ember Moose's back and onto the ground in pain.

"Damn!"

"Kill them all!"

"Don't let any of them escape!"

The leader of the patrolling soldiers reacted, raised his hands, and twirled in a circle.

He signaled to the rest of the soldiers to try to encircle Lin Fan and the others.

Lin Fan immediately injected Qi into his toad statue and brought out the Dragon's Roar Spear.

The rest of the team also got to work, lunging at their allocated targets.

Boom.

With the Chain Leap ability, Lin Fan leaped into the air.

The two soldiers coming at him pulled back their leashes, and the Ember Moose lifted their heads.

Flames engulfing the Ember Mooses' antlers burned vigorously, turning into huge fireballs with a diameter of around one meter.

Whoosh.

The two fireballs shot at Lin Fan.

To their surprise, Lin Fan turned into mist, and the fireballs shot through him.

Lin Fan thrust his spear at one of the soldiers.

The soldier raised his sword to try to block the spear.

But the thrusting wave from the tip of the spear went through the sword and broke it into pieces.

It continued through the soldier's head and through the Ember Moose's body.

Splatter.

The abdomen of the Ember Moose exploded as the thrust wave from Lin Fan's spear appeared and created a small crater on the ground.

"What in the world..." The soldier who was nearest couldn't believe his eyes.

He quickly tried to run away.

These people were too powerful for them.

He had to inform his officers.

Before he could pull the leash to the side for the Ember Moose to turn around, Lin Fan's hammers were already coming for his head.

The last thing he saw was the hammers coming closer and closer.

Splatter.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 200.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 410]

Lin Fan turned and checked how the others were doing.

Ho Ming, Hun Yen Kun, and Hu Tuo were done dealing with their targets.

The Lai brothers were just finishing off the last of their targets.

Zhao Jia Rui, who had a head start, was done much earlier and kept watch for more dangers ahead.

"Give me a moment," Lin Fan said as he started to slit open the Ember Moose's carcass for its demonic beast core.

The rest of the team knew what he could do with it, so they waited for him.

His ability to turn into demonic beasts would be useful for them in times of need.

It didn't take long, and they continued their way after Lin Fan was done.

The subsequent journey was uneventful again.

After trekking for another half hour, they reached a clearing smack in the middle of tall cliffs of the mountain by the side.

And in the middle of the clearing was a small military guard post.

Soldiers were on guard and some preparing to move out on their patrol.

If they could, they'd prefer to get around the military guard post.

But they couldn't, as the only path available was behind the military guard post.

Lin Fan assessed the situation and came up with a plan.

"I will use my ability and get to the back of the military post, while the rest of you attack from the front.

"We can't afford anyone running away and informing the Castle.

"I shall deal with anyone who runs away from the back."

The rest of the team agreed.

Boom.

Lin Fan leaped vertically into the air.

He then stepped onto the air as if it were a wall and leaped horizontally toward the military guard post.

Doing this for a few times, he finally went past the military guard post without anyone noticing.

When he landed at the back of the military guard post, he used the voice-transmitting jade pendant and informed the others.

Soon after, Hun Yen Kun led the rest and walked toward the military guard post.

"Stop right there!" The soldiers standing on the watchtower shouted as they saw them approaching.

Archers readied their bows and arrows and aimed at them. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire

The officer in charge of the military guard post came onto the wooden defense wall to see what was happening.

The man with a huge bushy beard shouted at Hun Yen Kun, "Who are you? And you shouldn't be here."

"We are just merchants lost in the mountains," Hun Yen Kun fanned himself as he took a few steps closer.

"What is Lee doing? Their patrol team should have dealt with them." Bushy beard said, and after a moment of thinking, his eyes opened wide.

"Fire at will!" Bushy beard immediately shouted.

The next moment, he felt pain in his heart as the blood inside him reversed its flow.

"Commander!" The soldiers standing beside him quickly brought him down from the wooden wall.

Boom!

Arrows engulfed with Qi from the archers shot at Hun Yen Kun and the rest, causing the ground to explode as the arrows hit.

But it was no use.

Ho Ming used his turtle shell artifact, and a huge, illuminated turtle shell blocked the arrows that rained upon them.

Before the next wave of arrows came, the illuminated turtle shell went away, and they leaped onto the wooden wall.

Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun took on the archers.

With their twirling wind strike, the archers had no chance.

Even the scriptures in their armor couldn't hold off the twirling wind strikes as they tore them apart.

The other soldiers coming at the Lai brothers, Hu Tuo, or Zhao Jia Rui weren't faring any better.

The Lai brothers, using their Tiger and Crane Style, cooperated seamlessly, and with their wrist armor plates caused damage to the soldiers as their attacks rebounded.

Hu Tuo with his yellow glow blocked attacks, and his punches smashed the soldiers into smithereens.

The Yi Mei Sword Style was deadly as Zhao Jia Rui sliced off body parts from the soldiers with precision.

"Commander, better run and inform General Tan."
