From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

It was an Ice Tusk Elephant; it brushed against the trees and bushes as it went along.

Lin Fan noticed it stumbled left and right, unable to walk in a straight line.

It must have been hurt, Lin Fan thought.

And he knew he was right when he saw the Ice Tusk Elephant's wounds all over its body.

He didn't wait and wanted to make a move to kill it.

The demonic beast core would be something useful to him with the Ice Tusk Elephant's strength and size.

But Guo He Ru grabbed his collar and stopped him.

"Don't kill it. Let's follow it first.

"They are known to use the Dragon's Tail Grass to heal their wounds.

"It might lead us to where the Dragon's Tail Grass is located."

Guo He Ru explained.

Lin Fan nodded, but he thought for a moment.

Who had hurt the Ice Tusk Elephant?

There were most likely others like them, trying to gather the Dragon's Tail Grass and maybe deliberately hurt the Ice Tusk Elephant.

"Ho Ming, follow the Ice Tusk Elephant with him. I need to make sure that it's safe," Lin Fan said.

Ho Ming nodded and followed the Ice Tusk Elephant with Guo He Ru.

Lin Fan hid in the bushes and waited.

A few moments passed and he heard some shouting. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire

"Where did it go?"

"Useless fool."

"I'm sorry, sir, it should be around here."

A group of four men appeared, three of them dressed like merchants were armed with swords.

And the last man in hunter's wear with his fur hat and boots was geared with bow and arrows.

The hunter was the one being scolded.

He looked around and said, "The blood trail leads up ahead. But wait..."

Squatting down, he looked at where Ho Ming and Guo He Ru had walked by.

The hunter turned around the next moment and said, "There are two other men that followed the Ice Tusk Elephant."

"Two other men? We better hurry and kill them off like the other bastards earlier," one of the merchants said, and they drew out their swords.

When Lin Fan heard this, he knew he had to get rid of them first.

The hunter was the one tracking the Ice Tusk Elephant, so he decided to get rid of him first.

He readied his spear in his hand, gathering strength as he held it back.

Then with all his might, he thrust the spear at the hunter.

Whoosh.

It caught the hunter by surprise, and he got nailed to a tree by the spear.

Coughing out blood, the hunter struggled to pull out the spear from his body but couldn't.

He slowly stopped moving as his lifeforce ebbed away from his body.

"Show yourself, coward!"

"I'm going to gut you alive if I get my hands on you."

The three merchants turned toward where the spear came from and slowly approached it.

A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected 3 souls with malevolent intent incoming!]

[Terminate people with malevolent intent for 300 vengeance points.]

When Lin Fan saw the vengeance points, he walked out of the bushes.

They weren't anything he couldn't handle.

Boom.

With his Chain Leap, he lunged at one of the merchants.

The next moment, he got closer, and he saw the merchant thrust his sword at him.

The sword glowed as the merchant injected his Qi into it.

Lin Fan used his Celestial Primordial Claws and parried the sword to the side.

Dang.

The sword was knocked out of the merchant's hand.

With the merchant's body wide open, Lin Fan slashed at the merchant's dantian next.

Splatter.

Blood spilled onto the ground.

The merchant quickly drew out a small dagger and thrust it at Lin Fan.

To the merchant's surprise, he realized he couldn't direct his Qi anymore.

It was as if his Qi was severed with his dantian, and the Qi couldn't be reached anywhere in his body anymore.

Lin Fan stepped to the side, dodging the dagger, and he ripped out the throat of the merchant.

The other two merchants, seeing how powerful Lin Fan was, quickly turned around and tried to run away.

But it was too late for them.

Lin Fan took out his hammers and threw them at the merchants using the Eight Trigram Hammer Throw.

Thud.

They cried out in pain and tumbled across the ground when the hammers hit their waists.

Lin Fan lunged at one of them, and with his Celestial Primordial Claws, ripped out the throat of the merchant.

The merchant's blood spurted out as bubbles appeared when air escaped from the lungs.

Before he could get up, all that the last merchant saw was Lin Fan's hammers coming closer and closer to his face.

And the next thing he saw was total darkness.

Lin Fan flicked the blood off the hammers as he walked toward the hunter.

A familiar sound erupted in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]

[Vengeance points + 300.]

[Current Vengeance Points: 800]

He pulled out his spear and stowed it back into his storage artifact.

Lin Fan rummaged through their belongings and tried to find something useful.

He found a few taels of silver, some pills, and herbs they had collected.

What interested him was a map the hunter had on him.

It marked a cave where some powerful demonic beast called the Acid Venom Scorpion lived.

Which was what he had come looking for.

After Lin Fan ensured there wasn't anything of importance left, he quickly hurried to catch up with Ho Ming and Guo He Ru.

Following the trail of blood left behind by the Ice Tusk Elephant, it wasn't difficult for him to do so.

"What were you doing?" Guo He Ru asked as he looked at Lin Fan's robe, which was now splattered with blood all over.

Lin Fan shrugged and said, "Nothing much. I had to get rid of some distractions."

"Oh. Distractions. Got it," Guo He Ru nodded.

This Lin Fan might just be as powerful as Ho Ming had told me, Guo He Ru thought to himself.@@novelbin@@

After he had seen Lin Fan getting rid of the assassins and now, some 'distractions,' he began to believe what Ho Ming had told him earlier.
