Chapter 175 Sorry, You’re Too Late
When Lin Fan took down the religious brother, adrenaline coursed through their veins.
But right now, they felt repressed.
“Senior Brother Lin might have a chance against Jun Wutian and Zhan Hongdi, right?” a disciple whispered. The two peak leaders weren’t like any ordinary disciples. Even if it was the religious brother who fought both of them, he would definitely be defeated.
Now, Lin Fan was going against both of them. This was an unimaginable scene.
Amongst the crowd, a middle-aged man could be seen wearing a complicated look on his face. “I never thought that that ordinary disciple from a few months back would be able to make it to this stage.” He sighed.
“Yeah, who would have thought that he would be on equal footing with the ten peak leaders now?” Fang Ji said next to him.
As a disciple of Great Emperor Peak, Lu Daosheng should have been angry at the fact that his leader Zhan Hongdi was being humiliated currently. However, he was feeling conflicted instead. The disciple whom Lu Daosheng thought of cultivating due to his superb performance during the war had now reached a stage where he could not.
Now, the disciple was his senior brother whom he would have to greet with respect when coming across.
Having to keep it inside for so long, Jun Wutian could no longer take it and burst out in anger. “Lin Fan, are you really going to be this audacious?”
“Audacious? No. I guess you have mistaken me.” Lin Fan shook his head. “Jun Wutian, all I did was promise a grandpa that I would take revenge for him.”
“What are you talking about?” Jun Wutian asked, face falling.
Whoosh!
The Tai Sovereign Sword, Earthly Sovereign Sword, and Human Sovereign Sword shot up, sticking into the ground and emitting strong energy. “Do you recognize these?” Lin Fan asked calmly.
“The Three Sovereign Swords.” Seeing the swords, Jun Wutian’s heart jumped up. These swords and the Transformation into God Swordsmanship were the reasons why he killed the three elders of the Imperial Sword Pavilion.
Unfortunately for him, he never managed to find them despite searching for them diligently.
It finally dawned on Jun Wutian. So he’s the one who got them, huh? Could this be the reason for his astonishing improvement?
Lin Fan laughed, emitting a strong aura. The space surrounding him was blurred as if it was unable to bear the energy waves of the aura.
“It seems like you do recognize them. It’s such a pity that you murdered the three elders of the Imperial Sword Pavilion. They gave me these right before their deaths, and I will fulfil my promise today to murder you right here.”
As soon as he finished his words, the disciples of the Magnificent Flame Sect were rooted to the ground.
Even Huo Rong was deeply surprised. He turned to Jun Wutian, jaw dropping. Was he really the murderer of the three elders of the Imperial Sword Pavilion? Feeling the looks of doubt, Jun Wutian’s facial muscles twitched. “Do not slander me!” he shouted in anger. “When have I, Jun Wutian, ever done something like that?”
Suddenly, Lin Fan disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared again, he was standing in front of Jun Wutian, aiming at his stomach with his mace. “It doesn’t matter if you have done it or not. You must die today, as I, Lin Fan, stick to my word.”
“Looking for death!” Jun Wutian shouted. Within no time, he launched an attack on the mace.
A strong force could be felt. Jun Wutian’s expression changed slightly. He did not expect Lin Fan to be so strong.
“Zhan Hongdi, until when are you going to be a spectator? He’s going to murder us here, right in the sect!” Jun Wutian said, turning into a ray of light and disappearing.
Jun Wutian watched Lin Fan fight the religious brother, so he was aware that Lin Fan was powerful. If he did not go all out, he would be killed by Lin Fan.
But what he never expected was that the scene of him murdering the three elders would be witnessed by Lin Fan. If that is proven, forget about him taking revenge, the sect will kick me out for sure.
Despite my potential to be the next patriarch, it’s all going to be useless.
“Kill!”
Jun Wutian had decided to kill Lin Fan. Who cares about Elder Tian Xu? If I can kill Lin Fan with Zhan Hongdi, the sect will not watch us die even if Elder Tian Xu comes at me.
There’s still a chance. Jun Wutian came to the conclusion after some thought.
But it’s so hateful. Those four are no better than trash. They couldn’t even kill him! Moreover, they even allowed him to grow and come back at me! Trash!
But I will not die here. For the seat of the patriarch, I have done so much. How could I just end here?
“Dao of Wutian, Dome of Heaven and Earth.”
Suddenly, a drastic change took place to Jun Wutian’s aura.
Huo Rong’s movement was in Tian Xu’s control, so he could only watch the situation take place. When he felt Jun Wutian’s aura, he was taken aback.
Dao of Heaven Star! If one comes in contact with the Dao of Earth or Heaven, it shows that they are about to breakthrough to the Heaven Star Border Realm. An Earth Star Border Realm can only take in earth energy as nutrients to their body, but after breaking through to the Heaven Star Border Realm, any random move will affect heaven and earth.
The Magnificent Flame Sect’s management level was no weaker than others, but the ability of their disciples was always lacking, which was known as the fading of talents.
Having Jun Wutian about to break through to the Heaven Star Border Realm was a matter that the Magnificent Flame Sect should be rejoicing about.
Jun Wutian’s aura made the sky and ground shake. He was too powerful to be belittled.
Lu Daosheng’s eyes shone at the scene. “I did not expect Jun Wutian to be this powerful. Out of the ten, the other seven peak leaders went out to search for a chance to break through. Now, it seems that Jun Wutian is in the lead. He will be able to break through to the Heaven Star Border Realm first. He’s in trouble, but if he can survive today, he will still be in first, safely stronger than Senior Brother Zhan.”
“Lin Fan, you have managed to anger me. The sect might be the sect, but you should not act as you wish even if you have the support of Tian Xu. Now, I, Jun Wutian, the first of the ten peaks, will let you know that support is nothing unless it’s your own power.”
Within no time, Jun Wutian opened up his arms, congealing the energy of heaven and earth. He then sent an attack toward Lin Fan in the form of a pair of hands that were full of earth energy.
“Your words are all bullshit,” Lin Fan said, not flinching a bit. He pointed his finger up and stuck it into the ground. The Three Sovereign Swords started vibrating violently as if they were being summoned. “Transformation into God Swordsmanship, level two.”
With Lin Fan’s current power, he had already gotten hold of level two. He could now perform it well, without the problem of lacking earth energy that caused Lin Fan to be unable to sustain the attack.
Whoosh!
The swords shot up to the sky, shining brightly. However, they weren’t shining because of a ray of light, but because of the manifestation of the swords that covered the sky. The manifestation of swords was everywhere. Spectating disciples who had swords as their weapons were now having a hard time trying to stop their swords from vibrating. They tried to suppress them with all their might but to no avail.
“Jun Wutian, I am going to kill you with the Transformation into God Swordsmanship to fulfil the elders’ wish.” Lin Fan stepped out. He raised his hands, covering the sky with sword energy and coming down at Jun Wutian.
“You’re looking for death!” Jun Wutian yelled, attacking Lin Fan more violently.
“You’ll never understand how strong your opponent is.” Lin Fan raised his hand and collided with Jun Wutian’s earth energy hand. A boom could be heard, and the hand broke open immediately.
“Impossible! How strong is he?”
Huo Rong gasped, unable to believe his eyes. No matter how powerful the Magic of the Seven Gods is, it wouldn’t make him invincible!
What he was unaware of was the level that Lin Fan had reached in his skillsets that use brute force. Earth energy surged in him like a dragon, and every attack could turn an ordinary Earth Star Border Stage Nine martial artist into pieces. “Absolute Annihilation!”
Just then, Zhan Hongdi let out a shout. He came toward Lin Fan, filled with the intention to kill Lin Fan.
“It’s not your turn yet, hold up.” Lin Fan launched another attack. A dragon flew out with a whistle.
Startling Dragon Palm!
Zhan Hongdi’s attack started to break under Lin Fan’s attack. Disbelief was written all over his face. How can this be? How could this person be this powerful?
At the same time, Lin Fan was staring at Jun Wutian, who was right in front of him.
“How was it? Transformation into God Swordsmanship is a skillset that you wanted, right? How does it feel to experience it yourself?”
Jun Wutian was currently drenched in blood. It was hard for him to survive the attack of the Transformation into God Swordsmanship skillset. Even if he was about to break through to the Heaven Star Border Realm, he was still an Earth Star Border Stage Nine after all.
“Impossible, how could I, Jun Wutian, lose to you?” Jun Wutian yelled, hair draping off his shoulders in a mess. He lost his posture as the leader of the first peak, and his eyes were now red.
Suddenly, the mad expression could no longer be seen. A ray of light shot out of Jun Wutian, cutting across the sky and the clouds, shooting toward outer space.
“Great. Great.
“The world knows that Jun Wutian is able to suppress the nine peaks with his hands, but they do not know that I can destroy the nine peaks with one attack. You’re the best. Since you have forced me to this state, I’ll show you what real swordsmanship is like.”
Within a split second, strong sword energy was emitted from Jun Wutian. A gray sword shot out of his body, sucking in earth energy. The space surrounding the energy started to twist as if it was about to break.
Huo Rong’s face fell. He did not expect Jun Wutian to have picked up the Nothingness of Sword Manifestation.
Suddenly, Lin Fan let out laughter. Swordsmanship, huh? Interesting.
“Die!” Jun Wutian stared at Lin Fan coldly. His orbs turned gray slowly, turning invisible soon.
Boom!
The empty space vibrated, and Jun Wutian disappeared into thin air. Not because he was moving too fast, he just literally disappeared as if he had fused with the empty air.
Huo Rong looked into the distance and shouted to Tian Xu. “Tian Xu, come save your disciple! This is the Nothingness of Sword Manifestation. Your disciple will definitely not be able to take the attack.”
“Master, there’s no need,” Lin Fan whispered. He raised his left hand suddenly.
His gigantic black palm suddenly changed into a dragon claw. All of a sudden, the dragon claw grabbed Jun Wutian’s sword from thin air.
“You’re looking for death by playing with swords right in front of me!” Lin Fan yelled. He clenched his right fist, coming toward Jun Wutian.
Bang!
Jun Wutian’s eyes shot up in disbelief. A strong force came toward him. Jun Wutian’s expression changed drastically as he was sent flying into the sky.
Piak!
Lin Fan stepped on Jun Wutian’s head. “You can die now.”
“Stop!” A voice could be heard coming from the sect. Elder Ge Lian thought that Jun Wutian would be able to take down Lin Fan, but things had gone out of his expectations. Seeing this, he hurried out to save Jun Wutian. Lin Fan laughed, exerting force to his foot that was stepping on Jun Wutian’s head as soon as he heard the elder. Jun Wutian’s head exploded like a watermelon.
Blood spluttered out everywhere, dying the arena red.
“Sorry, you’re too late.”
