Well, look at the situation I’m currently in. The sneaky Gorefiend Dragon has called its subordinates over to gang up on me, but frankly, it’s not enough.
This Gorefiend Dragon is here to bring me gifts! There are so many beasts here. I will earn quite a bit of points if I kill them all.
“Transformation into God Swordsmanship level one.
“Such a sneaky dragon.”
The Gorefiend Dragon was at a total loss. It did not understand why the man who had just disappeared in front of it would reappear, and in a completely fine state.
It let out a growl in anger, urging its subordinates to go up and attack Lin Fan.
The Gorefiend Dragon wasn’t the only beast living in Scaled Dragon Lake.
As an Earth Star Border Stage Five beast, the Gorefiend Dragon had its territory. In addition, being the descendant of a powerful creature, the Gorefiend Dragon had a particularly high desire to have a territory of its own.
It used to have a younger brother who angered it, but some time ago, it was murdered by humans, allowing it to be the sole owner of its territory. Any intruders would be killed by the Gorefiend Dragon with its great power.
The pond loach demons hissed, not fearing for their lives. To them, fear was nothing. Only their master’s orders mattered.
“Very sneaky. Asking your subordinates to take an attack for you? It’s such a sad thing. Let me free you guys.”
The first group attack went well for Lin Fan. The pond loach demons might’ve been weak, but they were huge in numbers.
Points +30
Points +80
The pond loach demons’ cultivation varied. Some were of a stronger cultivation, but under Lin Fan’s sword energy, they were all nothing more than trash.
A pond loach demon came jumping up. It opened its mouth wide and bit fiercely but was immediately killed by the sword energy.
The Gorefiend Dragon never thought that the man would be so difficult to deal with. It called for more of its subordinates, trying to make use of them to exhaust the man to death.
It might’ve been just a beast, but it was still intelligent.
Time flew past.
It did not know how many times the man had disappeared and reappeared, and it had lost count of the number of its subordinates who had died, but the Gorefiend Dragon now had only one aim, which was to kill the man.
The man was testing its limits. As the honorable descendant of a dragon, it was a gifted and noble beast. Thus, to it, there was nobody who could offend it.
The man disappeared once again. He turned to pieces and dispersed in the wind.
And its subordinates were all dead. There were only corpses that amounted to a hill to prove that they once came to its aid.
“I have now returned.”
Lin Fan was now standing where he was before, but this time around, he returned as a winner.
Because the Gorefiend Dragon was an idiot that let his points increase from forty thousand to sixty thousand, he was able to pick up the Magic of the Seven Gods.
Roar!
The Gorefiend Dragon roared in anger. It wanted to summon more subordinates to kill Lin Fan, but sadly, no pond loach demons appeared endlessly like the previous times even when the Gorefiend Dragon screamed its head off.
Lin Fan checked his points. He was currently in a good mood. “Gorefiend Dragon, stop screaming. Your subordinates are all dead.”
Piak!
Suddenly, a noise could be heard. It was the sharp cry belonging to a pond loach demon.
There are still pond loach demons? How many beasts can there be in such a small lake?
The Gorefiend Dragon stared at Lin Fan in anger. On the other hand, it was proud too.
Lin Fan stared at the cave attentively. When he realized what was going on near the entrance of the cave, his facial expression changed.
A pond loach demon that was different from the previous pond loach demons made an appearance slowly. It seemed to be of a very old age, and it was no longer agile. But because its master had given an order, it came even if it required using up all its energy.
After a long time, it finally arrived.
The Gorefiend Dragon turned its huge head around. When it saw the small figure at the cave entrance, it was taken aback too.
Roar!
It let out a roar in anger, shocking the pond loach demon so hard that it nearly fell to the ground. But in front of its master, the very old pond loach demon supported itself up and growled softly at the Gorefiend Dragon, full of respect.
“Master, I’m here. I am going to use up all my energy to uphold your pride.”
The gills of the pond loach demon could be seen vibrating as it let out a sharp cry toward Lin Fan. There were no teeth to be seen in its mouth.
“Haish!” Lin Fan sighed. Time to bring this to an end. But that pond loach demon has earned my respect. I’m so touched by its actions. It might be old, yet it still tries to uphold its master’s pride.
“Sixty thousand points to learn the Magic of the Seven Gods.”
“Yes.”
“Magic of the Seven Gods, level one.
“God of Internals, Zhongchi”
During that split second, Lin Fan felt that a mysterious treasure within him was activated, as if a spirit had broken its shackles and now had descended to the world once again.
With his cultivation and the God of Internals in him, Lin Fan’s earth energy became more solid, as if his inner core had been stimulated. It started spinning, causing the earth energy in the surroundings to spin rapidly too.
“It’s as if there’s a god enveloping me.”
This was what Lin Fan felt exactly. At the same time, a spirit could be seen behind his back. He shut his eyes, letting the strong force take over him. It then dispersed gradually, shrinking back into him.
“What is this?”
Feeling the changes taking place to his body, Lin Fan realized that a red bead had appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the edges of his Earth Inner Core. There wasn’t any sound made, but the red rays of light on it made Lin Fan shiver in fear. The energy contained within seemed to be a shocking amount.
Lin Fan opened his eyes, staring at the Gorefiend Dragon in front of him.
Feeling the power radiating from Lin Fan, the Gorefiend Dragon let out a cry in anger. The pond loach demon did so too.
It did so because its master roared.
Pui!
The Gorefiend Dragon stomped down on the old pond loach demon. It faced Lin Fan, looking fearless.
Lin Fan was now different from how he was before. He felt that he was filled with energy, which made him excited yet terrified.
“Gorefiend Dragon, you’re so cruel. How could you swat your cute subordinate to death? Your death day is here,” Lin Fan said calmly.
The Gorefiend Dragon screamed and bent its body, swinging its tail at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan let out a laugh.
“Violent Body.
“Cruel Blood.
“Inner God.”
He used all three of his skills that utilized brute force. A powerful aura lingered in the air. With Lin Fan as the center, a gale started blowing. A strong force suppressed everything. He wrapped his arms around the Gorefiend Dragon’s tail.
“Hehe, you’re doomed.” Lin Fan laughed. This energy was so powerful that it made even him afraid.
This energy was enough to suppress everything, and the Gorefiend Dragon’s death day arrived.
Back in the Cumulus Bazaar:
“Miss, Gentleman Lin is not around,” Uncle Cheng said, wearing a weird expression on his face. The Gentleman Lin who made a promise to them yesterday had now disappeared. There was nobody in his room. Uncle Cheng thought he had run off.
Maybe he did not want to embarrass himself, so he pretended to agree and then left after realizing that he was no competition for the Gorefiend Dragon.
Mo Lingyu remained calm. “Gentleman Lin might have left for some urgent matters,” she said, sighing in her heart.
There were four men standing next to the Mo Family currently. All of them had unique auras, and they gave off vibes of a powerful martial artist who one should not underestimate.
“Miss Mo, the Gorefiend Dragon is of a strong cultivation. Even we are not a hundred percent sure about the outcome. It’s understandable that the other party backed out at the last minute. Let’s set off now,” Song Zhenshan said arrogantly. He did not say much, but he could not care less about this Gentleman Lin. In his eyes, the other party must have escaped after hearing about the Gorefiend Dragon.
The group of four specially picked up missions that others could not complete at the Cumulus Bazaar.
Especially if it was a mission from the Mo Family, which was famous for being extremely wealthy. They would be able to earn a huge amount by completing this mission.
As Earth Star Border Stage Five cultivators, they would be pillars of support if they were in a sect and receive benefits that were exclusive to elites. However, they were willing to stay at the bazaar and work for others because the benefits here were even greater.
Song Zhenshan wasn’t born with the name Song Zhenshan. He changed his name after acquiring a skillset called Genuine Mountain as Heaven’s Magic. (TL note1)
He was one of the most powerful cultivators in the bazaar.
“Thank you, everybody. Let’s set off,” Mo Lingyu nodded and said after some thought.
Whispering could be heard around the Cumulus Bazaar.
“They are going to kill the Gorefiend Dragon. Let’s follow and take a look.”
“Yes. This Gorefiend Dragon is extremely powerful. It lives in the bottom of Scaled Dragon Lake. It’s difficult to kill. We should not miss a fight between powerful cultivators.”
This matter had thus garnered the attention of unrelated people in the Cumulus Bazaar.
