From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

"Good. It worked as I expected." Su Qi Nian's eyes were gleaming with excitement, and he took a mouthful of his tea and gulped it down.

Lin Fan on the other hand was calm.

Hempared the powers of the imperial seal with his Centurion Leader ability.

The imperial seal didn't use up any Qi or energy while the Centurion Leader did.

It would certainlyme in handy when he helped Lu Ding at the Northern borders.

He took off the Thief's Gauntlet and looked at Su Qi Nian.

"What do you want for this?" Lin Fan asked.

Su Qi Nian frowned, and he thought for a long moment.

He wasn't in need of any material needs.

Gold, resources, you name it, and he already had it.

And when he was thinking, the ground shook again.

Su Qi Nian quickly held onto the stone table to prevent himself from falling.

"That bastard…" He cursed in the direction of the entrance of the cave.

When the shaking stopped, he had an answer for the trade.

"I want you to get rid of the Giant Magma Leopard that's by the magma pool. Bring its demonic beastre to me."

He stood up and went over to a pile of artifacts again.

When he was done, he came back with a few pendants.

"These pendants were made with the Nine Heaven's Xuan Ice. It should protect you from the magma."

He proceeded to hand Lin Fan and the others one each.

"Deal. We shall kill it and bring you the demonic beastre." Lin Fan agreed to Su Qi Nian.

He had wanted to kill the Giant Magma Leopard anyway.

As for the demonic beastre, it was only a small price to pay.

"The Giant Magma Leopard is like fish in water in the magma pool. Be careful."

Su Qi Nian warned them as they set off for the magma pool.

…

They descended halfway down the mountain and took a turn away from the mine.

The path led to an area that got hotter and hotter.

Beads of sweat came dripping down everyone's back.

As they got near to a huge pool of magma, Lin Fan raised his hand and stopped.

The others followed suit.

They saw a huge beast, the size of an elephant that was in the form of a leopard.

It had hot magma flowing through its body and its fur was resistant to the hot magma.

They had chanced onto it during its nap time.

Rags that were burnt and looked like clothes from minersuld be seen nearby.

It must have just taken a meal.

Lin Fan took out his spear and said, "Ho Ming and senior martial brother fight closely behind me."

They nodded and Han Dang stayed behind for his own safety.

Lin Fan approached the Giant Magma Leopard slowly, trying his best not to make any noise.

Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun with their swords crept few steps behind.

Plop.

Some rocks fell from the walls of the mountains onto the Giant Magma Leopard.

Lin Fan stopped and waited.

Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun held their breaths.

The Giant Magma Leopard gave out a low growl and swiped its paw at the air.

It went back into its slumber after that.

After a few moments later, Lin Fan got to the side of the Giant Magma Leopard.

He held his spear back and he injected his Qi into it.

With a sudden twist of his waist, projecting all of his strength onto the spear, he thrust it at the Giant Magma Leopard's abdomen.

A slicing wave shot at the Giant Magma Leopard.

Thud.

It hit but ituldn't slice through the tough skin of the Giant Magma Leopard.

The pain woke up the beast and it gave out a loud roar.

It turned and swiped its paw at Lin Fan.

Slicing waves that had magma with it came at Lin Fan.

Boom.

Lin Fan used his Skybound Stride and leaped away to the side. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The slicing wave with the magma hit the ground and the rocks exploded with some melted into molten rocks by the magma.

It splattered all over and some landed onto Lin Fan's skin.

He activated his Primordial Titan Bastion, and his skin only got burnt.

Lin Fan brushed off the molten rocks and his skin quickly regenerated.

He looked at the Giant Magma Leopard as a familiar sound erupted in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected soul with malevolent intent iming!]

[Terminate Giant Magma Leopard with malevolent intent for 1000 vengeance points.]

Lin Fan stowed his spear and took out his hammers.

He injected his Qi into one of the hammers and it glowed in a bright blue glow.

With it, he swiped it at the Giant Magma Leopard.

The Frost Fang Ice Tiger lunged at the Giant Magma Leopard.

Thud.

Using its huge paws, the Giant Magma Leopard tried to squash down onto the Frost Fang Ice Tiger.

But the Frost Fang Ice Tiger was nimble enough and it leaped away, dodging the paws.

Boom.

Rocks and debris flew all over as the paws hit the ground.

The Frost Fang Ice Tiger took the opportunity and lunged at the Giant Magma Leopard's back.

Its fangs glowed blue and gave out chillingld as it tried to plunge it into the back.

Thud.

Ituldn't get through the tough skin, so itntinued to unleash the chillingld.

The skin of the Giant Magma Leopard froze and it caused the Giant Magma Leopard to run in circles, trying to make the Frost Fang Ice Tiger fall.

Boom.

Lin Fan leaped into the air with his Skybound Stride ability.

Trying to distract the Giant Magma Leopard, Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun thrusted their swords at the Giant Magma Leopard.

Twirling winds shot at the Giant Magma Leopard butuldn't get through the tough skin.

But it was enough distraction for Lin Fan.

With his spear in his hand, he stepped onto the air like a wall, using the Skybound Stride ability to dive down onto the Giant Magma Leopard.

The speed at which Lin Fan descended made him turn into a shimmer.

Splatter.
