From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Lin Fan lifted his head and looked up at how the rest were doing.

The other peak lords like his master, Qing Yang Zi and Zhao Qing Ying were now dealing out finishing blows to the stone statues going after them.

Zhao Ming Ye and Han Dang were however struggling.

A statue of a monk was towering over them with a golden arhat engulfing the statue.

Lin Fan leaped into the air with his Skybound Stride ability and punched at the monk statue.

Dang!

His Qi wave hit the golden arhat, and it gave out a loud sound.

However, the golden arhat wasn't able to withstand the Qi wave from Lin Fan's punch.

Crack.

Cracks began appearing on the golden arhat, with it breaking into pieces at the very next moment.

Lin Fan who was now in front of the monk statue pulled back his fist and punched at the monk statue at close range.

Boom.

The monk statue broke into pieces as Lin Fan's fist went through the statue.

The pieces from the statue that fell off continued to move and Lin Fan stomped on them, causing them to break into tiny pieces.

"Thank you, Lin Fan." Zhao Ming Ye stood up and stretched out his hand to help Han Dang get up.

Han Dang pulled Zhao Ming Ye's hand and got up.

"You're welcome," Zhao Ming Ye said to Han Dang when he saw Han Dang go on to dust the dust off his robe.

"Everyone all right?" Qing Yang Zi came over and asked.

So far, none of them were seriously hurt.

Everyone replied to Qing Yang Zi that they were all right.

"Let's get going. The Xuan Ming Elder must have known we are at the Dark Temple now, so be extra careful."

Lin Fan nodded and they continued their way into the Dark Temple.

...

Inside the Dark Temple, there was a lingering smell of rotten meat and the sweet iron smell of blood.

Warm glowing torches were lit in the dark surroundings of the Dark Temple, as if it was made to welcome them.

They walked deeper into the Dark Temple, finally arriving at the giant hall where the Dark Lord and his masters used to sit.

Now there were only empty seats in the hall except one.

"Welcome to the Dark Temple." The Xuan Ming Elder stood up and raised his hands, making the chains around his arms give out clanking sounds.

He stared at the peak lords and Lin Fan with his red glowing eyes.

"I don't have all day..." He smirked and said, "Let the fun begin!"

Boom!

The Xuan Ming Elder lunged at Ho Ming, coming at great speed.

His figure was now a shimmer, and he was near Ho Ming before Lin Fan appeared and blocked his punch.

Thud.

Lin Fan blocked the Xuan Ming Elder's punch with his arms crossed, and the rebounding force from the Primordial Titan Bastion forced the Xuan Ming Elder to take a few steps back.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate Xuan Ming Elder with malevolent intent for 3500 vengeance points.]

Xuan Ming Elder wanted to punch at Lin Fan again but wasn't as fast as Lin Fan.

Thud.

With his frontal kick, Lin Fan kicked the Xuan Ming Elder's chest.

Crack.

The loud sound of bones cracking could be heard.

Xuan Ming Elder endured the pain and grabbed onto Lin Fan's leg.

Lin Fan turned into a mist and Xuan Ming Elder grabbed onto nothing.

Cough.

The mist traveled across Xuan Ming Elder's body and it made his dantian disrupted.

Lin Fan with his Celestial Primordial Claws wanted to claw at Xuan Ming Elder's neck, but chains came out from the ground and shot at Lin Fan's face.

Clank.

He parried the chains away from his face with his claws.

Xuan Ming Elder had made use of the little interruption to roll to the side of Lin Fan.

Boom!

The Xuan Ming Elder then punched at Lin Fan's ribs.

Lin Fan turned into a mist again and the Qi wave missed.

By now Qing Yang Zi was ready by the side with the Qing Feng Sword lifted to his face.

When he was ready, he thrust the Qing Feng Sword at the Xuan Ming Elder.

Slice.

A thousand Qi waves appeared and sliced at the Xuan Ming Elder.

The slicing waves continued as the Xuan Ming Elder got cut and sliced.

"Huh!" Finally, the Xuan Ming Elder had enough, and he gave out a loud roar.

More chains appeared from the ground, and they covered the body of Xuan Ming Elder.

Clank.

There was the clanking of the chains as the slicing waves continued to slice at the Xuan Ming Elder.

When it was finally all over and the thousand Qi waves disappeared, the chains fell onto the ground and the Xuan Ming Elder emerged again.

He lifted his arm and swung it in the direction of Ho Ming.

One of the chains whipped at Ho Ming.

Lin Fan quickly stood in the way and used his Primordial Titan Bastion ability to block the chain.

Clank.

The chain rebounded and the Xuan Ming Elder cursed at Lin Fan.

Zhao Qing Ying sent out a slicing wave at Xuan Ming Elder with his fingers.

Xuan Ming Elder activated another chain to protect himself from the slicing wave.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Fan turned into a mist and got through the body of Xuan Ming Elder again.

Cough.

This time the Xuan Ming Elder coughed out a mouthful of blood as his dantian got disrupted.

Lin Fan appeared and with his spear thrust at Xuan Ming Elder with the Abyssal Fang.

The Qi wave from the spear scratched the skin of the Xuan Ming Elder.

"Argh." The soul searing attribute did its work, and the Xuan Ming Elder felt his soul was on fire.

The burning sensation in his soul made him blank out for a moment.

Lin Fan thrust his spear at the Xuan Ming Elder's neck.

Splatter.

The tip of the spear penetrated the skin of the Xuan Ming Elder's neck but couldn't get any further.

Xuan Ming Elder was now back to his senses, and he grabbed onto the shaft of Lin Fan's spear.

Clank.

Chains that were on the ground came alive and they entangled Lin Fan.

The chains tightened and Lin Fan could feel the stress that was put on his body.
