From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Few of the Fire Goats charged at their line with their burning horns.

The soldiers, holding their spears, stood firm in their line formation and waited.

Lu Ding watched and shouted when the Fire Goats got near enough, "Get ready, on my count. One, two, three! Thrust."

Their spears glowed white with Qi, and they thrust them at the Fire Goats head-on.

The Fire Goats cried out in pain and struggled as they fell onto the ground.

Some soldiers drew out their swords, closed in, and finished them off by slitting their throats.

They then fell back into line and waited for the next encounter.

Lu Ding and the soldiers didn’t even have time to catch a breather before the next wave came.

This time, it was Fire Wolves coming at them in twice the numbers.

Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva when they saw the wave of Fire Wolves coming at them.

Lu Ding and the soldiers speared the Fire Wolves when they got near.

But this time, there were just too many.

"Watch out!" someone shouted when he saw a Fire Wolf lunging at Lu Ding.

Lu Ding was trying to get his spear out of another Fire Wolf’s body.

It was too late.

Everyone gasped as they saw the Fire Wolf get closer and closer.

If only there was someone who could help.

Their hearts sank as they thought about Lu Ding’s fate.

He was eccentric and idealistic, but he had never ill-treated them.

Suddenly, a spear shot through the Fire Wolf’s body.

And the Fire Wolf lay motionless when it hit the ground.

Who did that?

Someone must have speared the Fire Wolf.

They were so busy fighting off the Fire Wolves that they didn’t take notice.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

Lin Fan had speared the Fire Wolf.

With the danger threatening Lu Ding over, the soldiers focused on killing off the Fire Wolves.

When they were done, all of them were tired as they’d expended most of their Qi and energy.

Boom.

Boom. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Boom.

The next wave came soon after, not giving them time to recuperate.

This time, they had a bad feeling about it.

The ground trembled much more vigorously than before.

And they were right.

Thud!

The camp wall fell over as four Ice Tusk Elephants rammed it down.

When Lu Ding saw it, he held his spear in his hand and looked at the soldiers on his team.

He had to make a decision soon.

"Help me!"

"Argh."

"Qi, watch out."

The soldiers in front of them couldn’t do anything to the Ice Tusk Elephants.

They were trampled or squashed into pulp by the Ice Tusk Elephants.

Lu Ding took a deep breath and said, "Remember why we joined the Raging Tiger Army. To protect our loved ones, to uphold…"

Thud.

Before he could finish, Lin Fan gave him a chop at his neck, and he became unconscious.

"What did you do?" The other soldiers were shocked when they saw what Lin Fan did.

"What did I do? I saved your lives. Now, take care of him and let me handle these demonic beasts."

Lin Fan said and passed Lu Ding over to Lee.

Lee looked at Lin Fan in shock and wanted to stop him.

What was he thinking, trying to stop four Ice Tusk Elephants?

But he didn’t have the chance.

Boom!

Lin Fan, with his Magnificent Leap, lunged at one of the Ice Tusk Elephants.

A familiar sound erupted in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate Ice Tusk Elephant with malevolent intent for 150 vengeance points.]

The Ice Tusk Elephant lifted its trunk and swiped it at Lin Fan as if Lin Fan were a pesky fly.

But the Ice Tusk Elephant was wrong.

Lin Fan used his Primordial Qi Claws and sliced the trunk into pieces.

The Ice Tusk Elephant gave out a loud trumpet, and Lin Fan landed on its head.

It tried to shake its head vigorously to shake off Lin Fan but couldn’t.

Crack.

Lin Fan’s Primordial Qi Claws had dug into the Ice Tusk Elephant’s head and cracked the skull.

He went deeper in as he injected more Qi into his Primordial Qi Claws.

The pain made the Ice Tusk Elephant go on a rampage.

It ran and knocked over the Ice Tusk Elephant in front of it.

The soldiers took the chance and closed in on the fallen Ice Tusk Elephant.

Lin Fan held on amidst the violent jerks of the Ice Tusk Elephant.

Soon after, his whole arm was in the Ice Tusk Elephant’s head.

A familiar sound then erupted in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 150.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 1080]

Lin Fan looked and checked on Lu Ding.

He was now awake and in awe of what Lin Fan did.

So were the other soldiers.

Lee, however, was cursing him.

Most probably about why Lin Fan didn’t tell him that he was more powerful than he seemed.

Lin Fan just shrugged his shoulders and turned his attention to the remaining two Ice Tusk Elephants.

Boom!

He leaped onto the back of another Ice Tusk Elephant.

With his Primordial Qi Claws ready, he went for the neck.

He dug into the neck and slid all the way down, slicing a huge wound.

Blood gushed out of the wound.

Thud.

The Ice Tusk Elephant fell onto the ground, sending a loud, muted thud into the air.

A familiar sound then erupted in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 150.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 1230]

He’d wanted to finish off the last Ice Tusk Elephant, but it was already taken care of by another cultivator.

By now, all the demonic beasts had been taken care of.

The soldiers began to regroup and take care of the wounded.

Lin Fan went back to where Lu Ding and the rest were.

"You…" Lu Ding didn’t know what to say to Lin Fan.

"Yes, you guessed it right. I’m here to ensure your safety, courtesy of your father."

"I told him I’m more than capable now." Lu Ding wasn’t too pleased, but he stopped after he recalled what he was prepared to do earlier.

If it weren’t for his father, his team would have perished.

"Lin Fan, as someone from the village, how can you be so cunning?" Lee came up and said.

"Cunning? I’ve never said I was weak. I wanted to take on ten demonic beasts, remember?"

Lin Fan shrugged and refuted.

"You…" Lee couldn’t say anything else as Lin Fan was right.

He had wanted to take on ten demonic beasts.

Just that no one took him seriously.

"All clear! Take the wounded to the tents!"

A messenger soldier with the general’s flag in his hand ran around with the message.

Everyone then sighed with huge relief.
