From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Lu Ding with Governor Lu quickly scanned around for the Left Prime Minister.

When they saw the Left Prime Minister who was in a corner, they quickly went over.

Having the Left Prime Minister alive was crucial to the Quan Dynasty if they succeeded.

"Prime Minister, come with us! We will get you to safety."

Flames scorched the imperial court as the guardian dragon tried to get Zhao Qing Ying away from it.

The heat wave came upon the Left Prime Minister, setting part of his court uniform on fire.

He panicked, but Lu Ding came over and helped him.

Using his feet, Lu Ding stamped on the flames and put them out after a few moments.

"Thanks!" The Left Prime Minister tried to give Lu Ding a bow, but he was stopped by Lu Ding.

"No time for formalities," Lu Ding said and pulled him along.

Together they headed out of the imperial court, leaving behind the screams and cries from within.

...

Boom.

Ho Ming thrust his sword at the ground and explosions ensued.

Imperial guards that were guarding in front of the tower were blown into pieces.

Lin Fan nodded at Ho Ming, and he activated his Skybound Stride ability.

Wham.

With a leap forward, he smashed through the wooden doors of the tower.

He saw that further on the other end, there were a few men in robes who were channeling their Qi onto a dragon statue with scriptures all over it.

They must be the cultivators holding up the Formation Array.

But first he had some obstacles to clear.

Fifty imperial guards who were guarding the cultivators inside lunged at him with their swords.

Lin Fan took out his hammers and banged them together.

Dang!

The Eight Trigram Sound Wave got into their heads and caused a splitting headache for them.

Clank.

They dropped their swords and held onto their heads with their hands.

"Argh." It was too much for them, and they cried out in pain.

Lin Fan didn't bother with them as he knew time was short; he had to destroy the formation array as soon as possible.

He wasn't sure how long Zhao Qing Ying and the other peak lords could hold off the indestructible guardian dragon.

When some of the imperial guards that were in his way tried to stop him, he smashed at them with his hammers.

Thud.

With a swing of his hammers, a loud thud could be heard when the skulls of the imperial guards cracked.

The impact splattered the flesh and white matter of the imperial guards all over the floor.

As he got near to the cultivators, three of them except one last cultivator turned and lunged at Lin Fan.

A familiar sound erupted in his mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected 3 souls with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate persons with malevolent intent for 2400 vengeance points.]

The three of them held a flag in their hands.

They raised it up, and a cold frost started forming.

A moment later, the cold frost turned into icicles with the pointed end aiming at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan didn't wait and swiped his hammers at two of the cultivators.

The illuminated Ember Wolf and Frost Fang Ice Tiger shot out from his hammers and lunged at the cultivators.

Without any pause, Lin Fan turned and lunged at the other cultivator.

Whoosh.

The cultivators unleashed the icicles at the Ember Wolf and Frost Fang Ice Tiger.

However, the icicles missed as the Ember Wolf and Frost Fang Ice Tiger were too nimble for them.

Growl.

The Ember Wolf bit onto the cultivator's neck and unleashed a scorching flame, setting the cultivator on fire.

Next to it, the Frost Fang Ice Tiger also got near the other cultivator and gnawed at the cultivator's waist.

Using its frost fang, it unleashed a chilling cold and made the waist and surrounding area freeze immediately.

Crack.

With a sharp pull, the Frost Fang Ice Tiger yanked out the frozen waist and parts of the flesh surrounding it.

"Argh." The cultivators gave out a scream in pain as their lifeforce slowly left them.

Thud.

Lin Fan swatted the icicle that was shot at him with his hammer.

And before the cultivator that he was dealing with could react, Lin Fan threw one of his hammers at the cultivator's head.

Splatter.

The hammer hit the cultivator's head and spattered it into a red and white mass.

Spilling flesh and blood onto the ground.

A familiar sound erupted in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 2400.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 5000]

When the remaining imperial guards who were behind Lin Fan saw the cultivators go down, they tried to attack him from behind.

Ho Ming wouldn't let him.

He thrust one of his swords onto the ground and shot out twirling wind with his other sword.

Boom.

The explosion from the Thunderous Exploding Sword Technique took down half of the imperial guards.

Those that remained standing were taken care of by the twirling wind.

The armor of the imperial guards glowed as the scriptures on it tried to stop the twirling wind.

It was futile as the twirling wind drilled through their armor and ripped their bodies apart.

With Ho Ming as reliable as usual, Lin Fan was able to face the last of the cultivators.

Sensing that the other cultivators had fallen, the last cultivator turned around and stared at Lin Fan.

He was old, with a long gray beard, with scriptures all over his body.

Out of nowhere, five flags appeared on his back.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind again.

[Ding!]

[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 1000 vengeance points.]

The old man took out a blue-colored flag from his back and pointed it at Lin Fan.

It gave out a blue glow, and Lin Fan felt the hair on his arms stand up immediately.

He activated his Primordial Titan Bastion in preparation for what was coming.

Lin Fan was right at in an instant, lightning shot out from the flag and struck him.

Sizzle.

Even with his Primordial Titan Bastion ability, he could feel his whole body being fried from the lightning.
