A killing frenzy, eight hundred thousand event points!
Elsewhere.
Lin An, already deep within the horde of Sin Beasts, had gone on a killing frenzy.
With every rise and fall of his saber, streaks of saber qi flew out, cutting down the Sin Beasts around him.
Although attacking like this consumed a considerable amount of his spiritual energy and stamina, he had the Spirit Devouring divine ability, so there was no need to worry.
Even if he accidentally got injured, as long as he killed Sin Beasts, the Spirit Devouring divine ability could restore him instantly.
Besides, he had all kinds of pills and defensive treasures. Even against countless Sin Beasts, he had nothing to fear.
Unless an extremely powerful Sin Beast appeared that could kill him instantly.
But that was absolutely impossible. Even if a Gold Realm Sin Beast attacked him, his various life-saving measures would let him hold out for a while.
That would be enough time for Lin Xiao, a gold ninth grade expert, to arrive.
Lin An took a moment to glance at his points. He already had over forty-five thousand.
Compared to his points, however, he had not gained many attribute points.
Although he had killed plenty of Sin Beasts, his attribute points had barely increased, mainly because the Silver Realm Sin Beasts had not charged forward yet.
"Still too slow."
Lin An thought to himself.
He saw that many Sin Beasts had already passed him and were attacking Shenglin City.
He was not surprised. He did not think he could stop a hundred thousand Sin Beasts alone.
But most of the Sin Beasts had gone to attack the city. If he killed too slowly, the points he could harvest would be greatly reduced.
"I have to pick up the pace."
With a thought, another long saber appeared in Lin An's hand.
Although he had never practiced a dual-saber technique, it would be more than enough to kill these Black Iron and Bronze Sin Beasts.
Lin An's aura surged once again, and he charged out with a saber in each hand.
With two sabers, his hunting speed increased noticeably. Vast swathes of saber qi interwove into nets, slaughtering every Sin Beast in his path.
While Lin An continued hunting Sin Beasts, two figures at the very rear of the horde watched everything unfold.
The Flame Hell Dragon Lizard, a Gold Realm Sin Beast, had an enormous body about a hundred feet long, covered in crimson scales with lava-like light flowing over them.
The Thunder Griffin, a Gold Realm Sin Beast, had a wingspan of fifty meters and was covered in purple-gold feathers that flickered with lightning.
"Who is that Human Race member? How is he so strong? He's deep within our army, yet not only has he remained completely unharmed, he's killed so many of our subordinates." The Flame Hell Dragon Lizard watched Lin An amid the Sin Beast horde, fire gleaming in his eyes.
The greatest distinction of Gold Realm Sin Beasts was that they had developed intelligence, unlike the muddleheaded Sin Beasts below the Gold Realm.
"I don't know, but we can't let him keep this up. Besides, he's powerful. If he runs into danger, Lin Xiao, as the city lord, will certainly intervene. Then we can see exactly how strong Lin Xiao is," the Thunder Griffin said.
"In that case, let's gather a thousand Silver Realm subordinates to surround and attack him. That should be enough to make Lin Xiao act," the Flame Hell Dragon Lizard said.
Although both of them were in the Gold Realm, they were only first and second grade.
Lin Xiao was different. He had reached the Gold Realm ten years ago. Now that ten years had passed, he would be at least above gold fifth grade.
They did not dare fight him, or they would very likely die here.
Their main purpose this time was to probe his strength, then return to Black Mountain and report the situation to their superiors.
The Thunder Griffin nodded, then dispatched a thousand Silver Realm Sin Beasts to charge toward Lin An.
Even the weakest of these Sin Beasts had reached silver seventh grade, and there were quite a few silver ninth grade ones among them.
In their view, although Lin An was powerful, he could not possibly withstand a siege by so many Silver Realm Sin Beasts, especially with so many Black Iron and Bronze Realm Sin Beasts around him.
Soon, the thousand Silver Realm Sin Beasts reached Lin An's vicinity.
Lin An, who was still fighting, noticed them as well.
"Have I been targeted?"
Rather than being afraid, Lin An was a little excited.
He knew that the hidden Gold Realm Sin Beasts had set their sights on him.
Although he had killed some Silver Realm Sin Beasts, there had been very few, and the strongest had only been silver third grade.
I just hope they send enough Silver Realm Sin Beasts over. That way, I can earn event points and farm a batch of attribute points too.
As Lin An was thinking, more than a dozen silver seventh grade Sin Beasts suddenly attacked him, using the Black Iron and Bronze Sin Beasts to conceal themselves.
"Just in time."
Instead of retreating, Lin An advanced, unleashing the Army-Breaking Saber Technique and cleaving out in one fluid motion.
Slash...
As saber light flashed, the dozen or so silver seventh grade Sin Beasts were all slain in practically a single exchange.
Lin An did not stop moving, continuing to swing his sabers as he charged at the remaining Silver Realm Sin Beasts.
[You have killed a silver seventh grade Sin Beast and gained 1 attribute point.] [You have killed a silver ninth grade Sin Beast and gained 900 event points.] [...]
Notifications popped up one after another, and both his attribute points and event points rose rapidly.
In just half an hour, he killed all thousand Silver Realm Sin Beasts.
These Sin Beasts also contributed more than eight hundred thousand event points.
Seeing that his event points were about to pass one million, Lin An smiled.
Hunting Silver Realm Sin Beasts really was better. Not only could he gain attribute points, but his points also soared.
"Too bad there are so many Sin Beasts here. It's hard for me to find the Silver Realm ones."
Lin An kept swinging his sabers. There were so many Sin Beasts that they blocked his vision, and their auras were too chaotic, making it difficult to locate Silver Realm Sin Beasts.
Now, he only hoped that the hidden Gold Realm Sin Beasts had seen his performance and would send more Silver Realm Sin Beasts to attack him.
Naturally, the two Gold Realm Sin Beasts, the Flame Hell Dragon Lizard and the Thunder Griffin, had seen Lin An's performance.
Seeing the thousand Silver Realm subordinates they had sent die so quickly, both beasts grew solemn.
"This Human Race member is no ordinary person. When did someone like him appear in Shenglin City?"
Although disposing of a thousand Silver Realm subordinates would not have been difficult with their strength, the problem was that this Human Race member was only silver ninth grade himself.
"This boy has tremendous potential. His identity must be far from ordinary."
"I heard before that Lin Xiao has a son. Could this boy be him?"
As the Flame Hell Dragon Lizard spoke, the Thunder Griffin's eyes lit up.
That was indeed quite possible. If he really was Lin Xiao's son, it would make sense.
"Keep sending Silver Realm subordinates to surround and kill this boy. If he really is Lin Xiao's son, Lin Xiao will certainly act when he sees him in danger," the Thunder Griffin said.
"But this boy is strong. He's been surrounded for two hours already, yet he still hasn't exhausted himself. I'm afraid sending more Silver Realm subordinates won't pose a threat to him."
The Flame Hell Dragon Lizard said, "We might as well strike from hiding and kill him in a surprise attack. Lin Xiao will certainly act."
"That could work. Let's do it." The Thunder Griffin nodded.
"You go. You can fly, so if Lin Xiao makes a move, you'll be able to escape."
The Flame Hell Dragon Lizard said, "I'll create a disturbance in the rear to draw Lin Xiao's attention."
The Thunder Griffin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded.
Then, at the two beasts' command, several thousand more Silver Realm Sin Beasts charged toward Lin An.
At the same time, the Thunder Griffin vanished from his spot, hiding among the Sin Beast horde as he approached Lin An.
