He only wanted to run away, so why?
Why wouldn't they give him the chance? He had been so sure of success, yet this blasted complication had cropped up.
The Sunshine Sect disciples far outnumbered them, but now they weren't afraid in the slightest. In fact, every one of them seethed with fighting spirit, fired up by Lin Fan's words.
"Kill!"
Sword in hand, Yin Xiaotian flashed forward like a great roc spreading its wings. With several swift slashes, his sword slit the throats of a row of disciples before him.
"Amazing, Senior Brother Yin! Your swordplay is slick as hell."
Gao Dazhuang roared, his veins coiling like dragons, looking utterly ferocious. His fist thundered out, sending a Sunshine Sect disciple flying. With his menacing presence, Gao Dazhuang was like a humanoid savage beast before the Sunshine Sect.
"Senior Brother Gao, your fists are incredible! Kill them!" Lin Fan cheered. Fuck, just tell him that wasn't powerful!
Gao Dazhuang turned back and grinned foolishly. "Watch closely. I've got something even better."
The Flame Magnificence Sect disciples roared and all charged into the fray.
The Sunshine Sect outnumbered the Flame Magnificence Sect, but now their Senior Brother Qiu was injured this badly, and the Flame Magnificence Sect disciples' imposing momentum had frightened them. For a moment, they fell into utter chaos. Everyone had only one thought: run, now.
Qiu Li's eyes bulged with fury, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He had never expected this outcome. Originally, their overwhelming strength should have let them crush the Flame Magnificence Sect, but now their hearts had scattered.
The earlier explosion had killed a large number of junior brothers at the Body Tempering Fifth Stage and Body Tempering Sixth Layer. In terms of top fighting strength, they had already fallen far behind the Flame Magnificence Sect.
Lin Fan was speechless now. What the fuck was this?
Qiu Li glared at Lin Fan, grinding his teeth. Then he gritted his teeth and hurriedly retreated despite his injuries. Staying here would mean certain death.
Damn it! You damned bastard! I, Qiu Li, won't let you off.
Lin Fan felt a wave of resentful killing intent wash over him. When he looked toward Qiu Li, he found the fellow hiding in the crowd, glaring furiously at him.
At that moment, he couldn't stand it anymore. The bastard was already in this fucking state and still wanted to come after him? He clearly didn't know how the word "death" was written.
Then he shouted, "Senior and junior brothers! He's Qiu Li of the Sunshine Sect, the one in charge of this operation! He just told me he enjoys cooking babies and wants to boil and eat every baby in Heavenly Peak City! We have to kill a pervert like him!"
Severely wounded and already crippled, Qiu Li blazed with anger when he heard this. He had never imagined this bastard would dare slander him.
Cooking babies?
Cook your fucking mother!
Unable to endure it any longer, he roared, "You bastard Lin, just you wait! I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Lin Fan chuckled. "A one-armed pervert with just one hand left, and you want to make me wish I were dead? Trash like you might not even get away today! Senior brothers, hack him to death!"
At that moment, Lü Qiming, Gao Dazhuang, and the others spotted Qiu Li, their gazes sharpening. "Let's go! We can't let him leave."
Qiu Li was dumbfounded now. He had the strength of the eighth level of Body Tempering. At his peak, killing these fellows would have taken no more than the blink of an eye. But in his current state, never mind someone at the Body Tempering Sixth Layer-even a disciple at the Body Tempering Fourth Stage might kill him.
He gritted his teeth, reluctant, but with danger upon him, he couldn't afford to think so much. He took out a pill and gulped it down.
Mid-grade human-tier pill: Wind Travel Pill.
Although it was only a human-tier pill, a speed-support pill like this wasn't easy to obtain. He had paid a hefty price to trade for it from someone in the sect, saving it for a dangerous moment.
But using it in the current circumstances really wasn't worth it.
They should have crushed the enemy, yet his carelessness had let someone trick him and turn a perfectly good situation into this. He couldn't accept it.
Whoosh!
Qiu Li couldn't afford to think any further. He took to his heels, moving so fast it was as though he hadn't been injured at all. In the blink of an eye, he vanished without a trace, leaving only an angry voice behind.
"You bastard Lin, just you wait!"
"Holy shit!" Lin Fan looked at where Qiu Li had vanished and chuckled. That lackey ran way too fast.
With Qiu Li gone, the Sunshine Sect disciples were dragons without a head. They too screamed and began fleeing.
But the path was so narrow that they couldn't possibly scatter all at once.
"Run faster up front!"
"Don't cut me!"
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Lü Qiming said, "Junior brother, rest and recover. Leave this to us."
How could he rest under these circumstances? He had originally intended to run away, but now that he couldn't, he could only start killing and rack up more points.
"Senior brother, do your thing. I'm still fine. I can hold on." Holding his nine-ringed saber, Lin Fan fixed his gaze on the trash disciples of the Sunshine Sect. These first- and second-level disciples would take just one slash each.
Lü Qiming was startled. "Junior brother, your injuries..."
At that moment, Lin Fan's presence changed instantly. Raising his nine-ringed saber, he charged toward those disciples. "You little fuckers! Your granddaddy's here!"
Some Sunshine Sect disciples who couldn't escape turned pale with fright when they saw Lin Fan. He had already terrified them, and seeing him charging menacingly toward them with his saber made them panic so badly they didn't know what to do.
"Don't kill me!"
"I surrender!"
"Under the Sect Joint Covenant, those who surrender receive preferential treatment!"
How could Lin Fan let these fellows surrender? In his eyes, they were all points.
"Preferential treatment, my ass! Surrender rejected!"
Although he was severely wounded, he could still hold on. Hacking some trash to death was no problem.
Points +10. Points +20.
Now Lin Fan specifically targeted rookies to hack down. Although they didn't give many points, there were plenty of them.
Seeing Junior Brother Lin fighting so fiercely, Lü Qiming was utterly bewildered. He could still be this strong with such severe injuries? What a beast!
Lin Fan was having a wonderful time hacking away, deliberately seeking out the weaker ones and cleaving them in half with a single stroke.
But such intense movement aggravated his injuries, and he couldn't stop himself from spraying out a mouthful of blood.
Lin Fan couldn't care less. It didn't hurt anyway, so he kept hacking.
Suddenly, Lin Fan noticed Senior Brother Lü knock a disciple to the ground. As Lü Qiming moved forward to finish him off, Lin Fan shouted, "Senior brother, let me kill him! This fellow insulted me earlier. If I don't kill him, I can't quell the hatred in my heart!"
"All right." Lü Qiming stopped and handed the Sunshine Sect disciple straight over to Junior Brother Lin.
Delighted beyond measure, Lin Fan brought his saber down.
Points +40.
Wonderful.
Hacking a piece of trash at the Body Tempering Fourth Stage to death and gaining those points left him refreshed in body and mind.
Just then, he noticed Gao Dazhuang fighting a disciple at the Body Tempering Sixth Layer.
Although they were at the same cultivation level, Gao Dazhuang clearly held the advantage, crushing his opponent with absolute strength.
His fist thundered out, and even the air rang with an explosive crack.
Crack!
The disciple took a heavy blow to the chest, which caved in abruptly. He vomited great mouthfuls of blood.
Just as Gao Dazhuang prepared to deliver the finishing blow, he heard Junior Brother Lin shout.
"Senior brother, let me! This fellow insulted me earlier. Unless I kill him myself, my heart won't be at peace."
How could he bear to let disciples with decent cultivation die for nothing? Naturally, he had to deliver the finishing blow himself. Missing out would be wasteful, something even heaven's laws wouldn't tolerate.
"All right." Gao Dazhuang didn't think much of it. He simply withdrew his hands and let Junior Brother Lin take revenge.
Lü Qiming looked at Lin Fan, a little puzzled. Just how many people had insulted Junior Brother Lin?
Why did every enemy they encountered seem to have insulted him?
"Die!" Lin Fan was excellent at delivering finishing blows-fast, precise, and ruthless, without wasting any extra effort. He killed the disciple with a single slash.
Points +60.
By the time Lin Fan was ready to keep delivering finishing blows, the Sunshine Sect disciples had long since fled.
"Damn it, they ran way too fast." Lin Fan was a little displeased, and he was still thinking about Qiu Li. Hacking him to death would have been so much more satisfying.
Pfft!
Suddenly, Lin Fan sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
This wasn't an act. It was real, every drop of blood the genuine article.
Only he knew his body's current condition. He was severely wounded. He only needed to kill himself, and he could resurrect ten seconds later, but how could he kill himself now?
It seemed he could only hold on until they got back.
"Junior brother, are you all right?" Lü Qiming stepped forward and caught Lin Fan, worry showing in his eyes.
The disciples gathered around. They admired Senior Brother Lin immensely. Despite such severe injuries, he had persisted in killing the enemy.
Such spirit truly moved them and filled them with admiration.
Lin Fan swept his arm out. "I'm fine. What do these little injuries count for? A real man without a few injuries would be laughed at if word got out."
His words moved everyone present.
"Sob, sob!"
Some disciples who weren't quite so emotionally resilient burst into tears.
"I never thought Senior Brother Lin was so strong-willed. Look at his chest-it's caved in."
"Yes. If it were me, I'd probably have died already. Even if I hadn't, I'd be crying and screaming."
"I admire him so much."
Lin Fan lifted his chin slightly, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.
