From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Next day.

Lin Fan and the rest, except for the Lai brother, waited for Lee outside the inn.

When Lee was ready, he came out of the inn and led them with his merchant team.

Lee chatted with Lin Fan on the way.

He told him about the north as Lin Fan was curious.

Lin Fan knew it was inevitable that they would have to go further up north and face Tan Xiao Yao.

"I would advise not going there.

"The north is very unstable, with barbarians from the grasslands trying to conquer it for years.

"Sometimes the soldiers will just run away, leaving the peasants to fend for themselves.

"General Tan is a blessing for the Quan Dynasty.

"He has been able to instill some discipline and hold the line for the past few years."

Lee briefed Lin Fan as they finally reached the outpost.

When Lin Fan heard what Lee said about Tan Xiao Yao, he frowned for a moment.

It seemed like Tan Xiao Yao had some influence in the north, Lin Fan thought.

It might be tough for them to go against him openly.

"Stop right there."

One of the soldiers guarding the entrance to the outpost shouted when he saw Lee and his merchant team approaching.

Lee stepped forward and passed him a letter. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The letter was the permit for them to bring the goods in, then to be loaded onto the boats.

After the soldier read the letter, he waved for Lee to enter.

Lin Fan and the rest followed.

The outpost had a five-meter-high defense wall surrounding it.

Inside the wall was a row of buildings that were the warehouse, and the pier where the boats would dock.

Lin Fan took note of where the buildings were situated.

He discreetly pointed to the buildings as he looked at Ho Ming, Hu Tuo and Zhao Jia Rui.

Once the Lai brothers were done, they could do their job immediately.

For Lin Fan, his focus would be on the piers.

Lee was bringing them over to the piers when they heard the soldiers shouting.

A few moments later, some of the soldiers got on their horses and left the outpost.

"Look at the smoke." One of the merchants pointed in the distance.

"The boats that just left must have caught fire." Another merchant said.

This meant that the Lai brothers had completed their task.

Everything stood still in the outpost as the soldiers tried to make sense of what had happened.

They waited for half an hour before Lin Fan glanced over at the rest.

They nodded and the next moment, leaped toward their allocated targets.

"What are you doing!"

"Stop right there!"

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers quickly knew what was happening and the drum on top of the defense wall sounded.

Lin Fan and the team had to destroy the facilities fast, before the other soldiers came back.

Soon a team of soldiers came over and surrounded Lin Fan with their long spears, shields and swords.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan’s mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected 10 souls with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate 10 soldiers with malevolent intent for 500 vengeance points.]

The soldiers thrust their spears at Lin Fan.

The tips of the spears glowed as they injected their Qi into them.

But Lin Fan took out his hammers and swung them in a circle.

Breaking the spears as he crushed through them.

His hammers at Spirit Level were too much for the soldiers’ weapons at Mortal Level.

With their spears destroyed, the soldiers closed in with their shields.

Cracked.

The shields offered them no protection.

They cracked whenever Lin Fan’s hammers smashed onto them.

Without their shields, the soldiers’ armor gave out that protective white glow.

But Lin Fan at full strength was too much for it.

His hammers easily went through the protective white glow and killed the soldiers.

When he was finally done, a familiar sound erupted in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 500.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 860]

Immediately, another two teams of soldiers came toward Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn’t want to engage with them as this was not his mission.

He quickly injected his Qi into the amulet and turned into a Fire Deer.

With his antlers, he charged at the soldiers.

The soldiers pointed their spears at him, but at the last minute, Lin Fan leaped over them.

And landed at the piers.

The sailors and workers quickly scurried away from Lin Fan. Stay tuned to freewebnovel

He must be a devil that could change forms, they thought.

Lin Fan turned back into his human form and with his hammers he unleashed the Ember Wolf with the Eight Trigram Beast Transform Strike.

The illuminated Ember Wolf set fire to the pier wherever it went.

Lin Fan then followed up with his hammers, smashing the piers made of wood into pieces.

"Fire!" Suddenly, someone shouted, and arrows rained down onto Lin Fan.

Lin Fan turned around and saw archers with a man coming toward him.

The two-meter-tall and well-built man wore the armor of a General.

He must be General Gu Dao, the person in charge of the outpost.

Boom.

Explosions ensued when the arrows shot onto the ground.

These weren’t ordinary arrows.

Much more powerful than what Lin Fan had seen before.

When the arrows that were on target came closer, Lin Fan swiped his hammers at them.

Boom.

The explosion nearly made Lin Fan drop his hammers and the shockwave could be felt in his body.

If it were not for his Physique Cultivation, Lin Fan would have been hurt.

"Die!"

Gu Dao wasted no time and lunged at Lin Fan with his huge sword, which was one meter long.

The sword slashed at Lin Fan’s waist.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan’s mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected 1 soul with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 350 vengeance points.]

Lin Fan turned into a mist and the sword went right through him, causing Gu Dao to expose his shoulders to Lin Fan.

Thud.

Lin Fan swung his hammer at Gu Dao’s shoulders but the white glow from his armor stopped Lin Fan’s hammer.

With his hammer being blocked by the white glow, Lin Fan kept them, and he used his Primordial Qi Claws and plunged them through the white glow instead.

The claws went through the white glow effortlessly.

But they were stopped by the armor plates protecting Gu Dao’s shoulders.

Gu Dao quickly gave Lin Fan a front kick trying to get Lin Fan away from him.
