From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

The Emperor watched as he leaned forward and gripped his wine cup tightly.

His concubine sitting beside him quickly soothed him by running her hand down his back.

"Where is the incense? Get it out here to help calm his majesty!" she shouted at the chief eunuch.

Displeased with the chief eunuch's efficiency.

The chief eunuch quickly apologized and went off to hurry the men.@@novelbin@@

Soon, men in black robes brought incense urns and placed them all over the sparring area.

On the spectators' stand and the stage area.

The incense smell was pleasant and made everyone feel calm.

Qing Yang Zi and the other disciples from Qing Feng sect weren't feeling the same.

They used the turtle breathing technique to try and breathe as little as possible of the incense.

"Grr…"

Jiu Shu stared with his reddened eyes and growled like an animal.

He tried to get the poison in his fingers into Lin Fan but could barely break Lin Fan's skin.

Lin Fan was, however, taking the chance to absorb the poison and direct it into his poison gland.

Making the poison in his poison gland much more lethal.

After a few moments, Jiu Shu realized that he couldn't harm Lin Fan with his poison, so he lunged at Lin Fan with his ghastly fangs.

Whoosh.

Lin Fan activated his Shadow Slip ability and Jiu Shu went through Lin Fan like mist.

The next moment Lin Fan materialized behind Jiu Shu, and he smashed his hammers at Jiu Shu's back.

Thud!

The hammers hit hard, and the sounds of bones cracking could be heard.

Jiu Shu coughed out blood and his senses were gone for a moment.

Because of the Oblivion steel in Lin Fan's hammers, its effect took him out.

The short moment of Jiu Shu being stunned was enough for Lin Fan to follow up and swipe his hammers at Jiu Shu.

The Ember Wolf illuminated brightly, lunging at Jiu Shu's neck, taking out a chunk of it.

Splatter.

Blood spilled onto the dirt ground as Jiu Shu knelt down.

…

"What is happening? I feel pain all over my body."

"Argh. Someone please help me."

"Poison!"

The spectators wanted to jeer at Lin Fan's winning but the next moment they felt pain.

They started to cough out blood and slumped to the ground as they lost control of their muscles.

"Protect the Emperor!" the General shouted as he saw what was happening.

Chaos ensued.

Soldiers streamed into the sparring area but also started to have the same symptoms.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Fan walked over to Jiu Shu, and he smashed his hammers at his head from behind.

Jiu Shu's head exploded into a pulp as the impact was too much for him to bear.

An end that was fitting for the Storm Fist Thunder Sect.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 230.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 1160]

Lin Fan saw the vengeance points and he figured Jiu Shu's techniques must be of a lower level than Di Tuo's.

His choice to learn the Eight Trigram Beast Hammer Style, which was Mystic Level, was a good one.

After taking a Blood and Qi Restoration Pill, he looked up.

The spectators were mostly on the ground, poisoned and helpless.

Those men in black robes were fighting with Zhang Xi, Ho Ming and Hun Yen Kun.

Lin Fan looked at the incense urns burning and thought for a moment.

The poison must have required two parts for it to take effect.

When they were tested individually, it would not be poisonous.

But when both of them combined together, the reaction would make it poisonous.

The first part was the food that the concubine had given.

And the second part must have been the incense that was burning.

All of it looked like something that the Dark Envoy would do.

Boom!

Lin Fan leaped and joined in the fight with Ho Ming and the rest.

…

"What is happening? Where's the imperial guard!"

The chief eunuch shouted for the imperial guards to come and protect the Emperor.

No one came running in.

And at the next moment, the chief eunuch stopped shouting and fell to the ground.

A dark tentacle shot through the chief eunuch's head and killed him on the spot.

Blood splattered onto the Emperor's face.

As the warm blood dripped off the Emperor's face, he felt a chill down his spine instead.

One of the men in dark robes had come to the stage and killed the chief eunuch.

Qing Yang Zi, with his index and middle fingers straight, swiped his hand at the man.

A slicing wave went through the man's neck.

Thud.

The man's head dropped onto the floor, rolling as it left a trail of blood.

Seeing this, the Emperor quickly scrambled behind Qing Yang Zi and the peak lords from Qing Feng Sect.

"Li Fei, I trusted you! How dare you collaborate with others to try and take my life!"

The Emperor shouted and pointed at the concubine.

The concubine shook her head and tried to explain.

This was not what was briefed to her.

She had only wanted to weaken Qing Feng Sect as per Tan Kun's plan.

Never did she think of killing the Emperor.

It might not be too late, she thought.

"Tan Kun told me it would be about weakening the Qing Feng Sect, your majesty!" She quickly gave up the mastermind, trying to redeem herself.

Qing Yang Zi quickly turned around and apprehended Tan Kun on the spot with his hands on Tan Kun's shoulders.

The concubine's accusation was good enough to nail Tan Kun.

"Sect master, it's all a misunderstanding," Tan Kun pleaded as he felt his Qi being locked.

Qing Yang Zi didn't bother with him and struck his palm onto Tan Kun's forehead.

Thud.

Tan Kun immediately dropped to the ground.

That felt like what the Dao wanted me to do, Qing Yang Zi thought as he felt great doing it.

Maybe Zhao Qing Ying was right all along.

"I see that you've changed," a voice interrupted Qing Yang Zi.

The Dark Envoy slowly stepped onto the stage.

Men in black robes streamed onto the stage after him.

"The Dark Lotus Sect!"

The other sect masters were in shock as they saw the Dark Envoy coming onto the stage.

This was not what they had signed up for.

The plan was to weaken the Qing Feng Sect, but now it seemed they were being played like toys.

"I only want the Emperor's life. Let me have him and your disciples will live," the Dark Envoy said and pointed to the disciples of the sects now lying on the ground.
