From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Zhao Qing Ying’s body glowed as he tried to use his Qi to protect himself from the sword.

The sword bent as it couldn’t penetrate through Zhao Qing Ying’s protection.

Tan Xiao Yao then gave Zhao Qing Ying a frontal kick.

Thud.

The impact from the kick sent Zhao Qing Ying sliding back, causing the ground to crack and leaving a trail in it.

"General!"

"These bastards!"

"Cowards!"

By now, soldiers tried to come into the room to save their general.

The sect masters dealt with them swiftly.

Long Kong from the west monastery, using his deadly punches, turned the soldiers confronting him into red mist.

He was too powerful for them.

"Better hurry and finish him off, we don’t have much time left," Long Kong turned his head back and said as he held off the soldiers.

Zhao Qing Ying stared at Tan Xiao Yao and decided to go in for a final blow.

He lunged at Tan Xiao Yao again.

As Tan Xiao Yao’s sword thrust at him, he twisted his body, and the sword missed him by inches.

Zhao Qing Ying then held onto Tan Xiao Yao’s outstretched arm.

Tan Xiao Yao tried to pull his arm back, but Zhao Qing Ying was too strong for him.

Soon after, wind that came out of nowhere started swirling around Zhao Qing Ying like a hurricane with him in the center of it.

The hurricane swirled faster and faster.

Bits of cloth got torn off and cuts appeared on Tan Xiao Yao when the hurricane touched him.

Tan Xiao Yao’s armor glowed again, giving out the yellow glow protecting him.

The sect masters standing behind them were also affected as the hurricane expanded.

They quickly directed their Qi to protect themselves from the slicing wind from the hurricane.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Tan Xiao Yao at the center suffered the most damage.

His armor slowly couldn’t give out its protective glow anymore.

And soon, cuts appeared on Tan Xiao Yao’s face and body.

When it was finally over, Tan Xiao Yao knelt, and his arm broke off from his body due to the deep cuts.

He stared at Zhao Qing Ying with his bloodied face and smiled.

"Hahaha. After all these years of fighting as a loyal general, this is what I get."

He laughed hysterically and grinned, showing his teeth now stained with blood.

The next moment, his expression turned into pure anger as he gritted his teeth and took out a jade pendant.

Zhao Qing Ying immediately tried to stop him but it was too late.

Tan Xiao Yao broke the jade pendant, and he started to just stare blankly at Zhao Qing Ying.

"What did you do?" Zhao Qing Ying grabbed onto Tan Xiao Yao’s throat and asked.

"Let you have a taste of what I have had to fend off for so many years," Tan Xiao Yao smirked.

His body then started to swell up like a balloon.

"Qing Ying, he is going to self-immolate soon," Qing Yang Zi shouted immediately.

Zhao Qing Ying quickly leaped away and so did the other sect masters.

Boom!

With his self-immolation, the room exploded and collapsed.

The sect masters used their Qi to protect themselves at the last moment.

Standing nearest to Tan Xiao Yao, Zhao Qing Ying still got hit and spat out blood.

Qing Yang Zi quickly helped him up. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"Time for us to leave."

He took out a golden feather from his sleeve and threw it out of the opening created by Tan Xiao Yao’s self-immolation.

The golden feather floated as it got out of the castle wall.

Slowly it became bigger and bigger.

The sect masters then jumped onto it.

It was a rare flying artifact.

They started to fly away from the castle but when they looked down, things didn’t go as planned.

Troops from the Hulu tribes could be seen starting to move toward Bei Dian Castle.

Tan Xiao Yao must have destroyed the formation array and defense mechanisms against them.

"I wonder if they got out safely," Qing Yang Zi frowned as he thought about Hun Yen Kun and the rest.

"Just let me go and ensure that they are indeed safe," Zhao Qing Ying stood at the edge of the feather and said.

Qing Yang Zi nodded, and Zhao Qing Ying leaped off the feather.

…

Lin Fan and the rest reached the military guard post where bushy beard was stationed when they heard the commotion caused by the Hulu tribe’s troops.

"We better hurry," Lin Fan said, as he figured that Tan Xiao Yao might have just let the Hulu tribe through, rather than letting Quan Dynasty be at peace.

He got the answer to his hunch as he saw men in armor and fur appear in the military guard post.

From their attire, they were obviously from the Hulu tribe.

"Can all of you still fight?" Lin Fan turned and asked the rest as they hid behind a bush.

"The guardian beast wouldn’t wait for long where it dropped you off. We don’t have much time left,"

Hun Yen Kun said as the guardian beast can’t stay long to avoid a fight with the beasts from this area.

The Lai brothers shook their heads as they were badly wounded.

Ho Ming nodded as he wasn’t hurt too badly with protection from his turtle artifact.

Zhao Jia Rui also shook her head; she managed to barely kill her target.

Hu Tuo sighed and shook his head.

"So, it’s up to the three of us now," Lin Fan said and tried to come up with a plan.

He saw the Ember Moose wandering about in the military guard post.

The Hulu tribe soldiers were busy looting the stuff from the dead Quan soldiers and didn’t bother with them.

"I could go in as an Ember Moose, make a surprise attack and lure them away.

"The rest of you can take the opportunity to sneak through.

"I will catch up to you and join you all later."

Ho Ming shook his head and said, "No, that’s too dangerous for you to go alone. Let me go with you."

Seeing his insistence, Lin Fan thought for a moment, and pointed to the woods in the distance, "Go over and ambush them over there. I will lure them over."

Ho Ming nodded and they were set to go.
