Chapter 225

: Knock out


They arrived at a mountain range. It was unknown what the mountain is made of, but it shone brightly under the sun, and it looks like a mountain made of iron.


It looked as if there are numerous trees planted on the mountain from afar. But as he got closer, Lin Fan realized that those “trees” were iron swords.


Many swords were stuck into the ground. Some were in good condition, while some were broken.


“It’s a good place.” Lin Fan nodded. ~The Iron Sword Academy is good at choosing its location. They must be something to be able to find such a weird place.~


~But there’s something weird about this.~


~The Divine Religion and the Sunshine Sect are both stealing children. Why does this feel so familiar?~


~Is the Sunshine Sect behind the Divine Religion?~


~Nah, I don’t think so. If the Sunshine Sect had an organization that was hiding in the Magnificent Flame Sect for such a long time, the Magnificent Flame Sect would have long been doomed.”


Iron Sword Academy!


“What’s that?”


The disciples looked up to see the ship cast a shadow on them. They saw many figures coming towards them at the same time. Seeing the figures in the sky, they immediately bowed towards them.


“Hall master.”


Lin Fan looked down at the Iron Sword Academy and flew down immediately, throwing the ship to one side.


Xiao Zhen and Wei Long were in shock, but they remained calm and flew off the ship.


“Lord, this is the Iron Sword Academy.” Wei Long said.


“We have a guest?” A middle-aged man who had a scar on his face came out. He carried a sword behind him, and there were brown colored spots on the blade. It had rusted and was in bad condition.


“Who are you?” Lin Fan said, walking up to him.


The middle-aged man gave him a thin smile, but he did not immediately answer Lin Fan’s question. “So it’s a lord from the Magnificent Flame Sect. I’m the Princ.i.p.al of the Iron Sword Academy, Tie Bing.”


“Mayor Wei, what brings you here?” Tie Bing was surprised to see Wei Long.


“I made use of a forceful method to try and help the Magnificent Flame Sect.” Wei Long said, sighing. “The Lord thinks that it’s not the right thing to do; thus, he is here to give this place a check.”


“Oh, so it’s this. Lord, you have misunderstood Mayor Wei’s intention. Mayor Wei only hoped to take on some of the Magnificent Flame Sect’s burden. He has done all he could to bring as many children over as possible just to make the Magnificent Flame Sect stronger.” Tie Bing said.


“Mhmm? He brought children over? Call them out.”


~Let me see. If that Tie Bing can bring the children out, I’ll say no more, but only remind them to not make use of such a forceful method in the future again.~


“Lord, what did you say?” Tie Bing asked in a daze.


“I said, bring the children out. Didn’t you said just said that Mayor Wei had previously brought many children over?” Lin Fan stared at Tie Bing.


Tie Bing’s expression changed. “Lord, you misheard me. I did not say that.” He said with an innocent face.


“Nope. That’s what you have said.” Lin Fan said sternly. ~Does he really thinks that there’s something wrong with my ears?~


“Lord, you must have misheard me. I said you misunderstood Mayor Wei. He had chosen to send the children over as he wanted to make Magnificent Flame Sect stronger.” Tie Bing said calmly.


Xiao Zhen and Wei Long who were standing behind Lin Fan exchanged glances.


“Really?” Lin Fan said in curiosity.


“Yes, Lord has misheard me…”


Puke!


Lin Fan raised his hands, and a ray of light could be seen on the tip of his fingers. Tie Bing was then beheaded. His head rolled down onto the ground.


There was no blood to be seen—only a white sticky substance. There were also maggots wriggling in the wound.


“I said, I didn’t mishear you. Do you understand?” Seeing this, Lin Fan knew that Divine Religion was behind all this.


~I see that they are acting quickly now. They even managed to get a Mayor to work under them. Oh wait, the Mayor might be one of them to begin with.~


Xiao Zhen and Wei Long both took a step back. Many disciples flocked around them, and there was a cruel expression on each of their faces.


“So you’ve discovered it.” Wei Long said coldly. He’s not from the Divine Religion, but he was a partner of theirs.


The Divine Religion would give him wealth and status and everything he wanted in exchange for some children and a place to hide.


“You’ve killed everyone in the Iron Sword Academy?” Lin Fan said, looking around.


It suddenly dawned on him that he had previously looked down on the Divine Religion. The Iron Sword Academy might not have been a huge organization, but from its location, Lin Fan could tell that it wasn’t an ordinary organization.


However, it was scary to think that the Divine Religion infiltrated the, without anyone knowing, and wiped them out.


“d.a.m.n you. Why did you destroy my skin?” Tie Bing’s corpse was still standing in its spot. It might be a headless corpse, but a voice could be heard coming from its body.


“Such a disgusting smell. Until now, I still don’t know if you guys are humans or not.”


Lin Fan looked around to see if there were any elites to be found. But sadly, most were of the Earth Star Border realm. There were even Body Tempering Realm cultivators among them.


~If they are the only ones here, they would not have been able to wipe out the whole Iron Sword Academy. Someone must have done it for them and hidden them here.~


Puke!


Tie Bing’s stomach was being sliced open, and a white-colored hand could be seen coming out of the cut. A curled-up figure could be seen in the skin as it tried to come out.


Suddenly, changes could be seen taking place around Lin Fan. Everyone started to cut their skin open like Tie Bing with figures crawling out.


Seeing Xiao Zhen, Wei Long had gooseb.u.mps. The Divine Religion skillset is something that he was most afraid of.


They would kill the host and take over their empty bodies. They would then use a unique skillset to connect with the body, so they could function as an actual living person.


“Hehe! Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. And such handsome skin. I want it.” A figure appeared behind Lin Fan creepily. He reached out his hand, wanting to break Lin Fan’s neck.


“Get lost.” Lin Fan slapped him into mashed meat.


“A leopard really never changes its spots. Tell me, where are all the children?” Lin Fan said coldly. However, he felt that all the Divine Religion followers were insane, and thus he turned to Wei Long. “Mayor Wei, I’ll give you one chance. Where are the children?”


Hearing him, Wei Long burst out into laughter. “Kid, you should be worried about yourself instead. Do you think you can leave? A Bishop of the Divine Religion is right in front of you!”


As soon as the figure crawled out, Tie Bing’s skin fell onto the ground. A human ball stood in front of Lin Fan.


Crack! Crack!


The human ball moved his head and let out scary sounds. He moved his arms up slowly too.


“Hehe, the skin is mine. Since you’re here, don’t leave.” A terrifying aura was emitted by the human ball. It was apparent that he was in the Earth Star Border Stage Nine.


Lin Fan did not expect that he would have the same cultivation as Ming You.


~Could he be the one to have wiped out the entire Iron Sword Academy? If it’s really him, then he must be something.~


Crack!


Lin Fan lifted his foot and stepped on him. The undestroyable shield around the human ball cracked immediately under Lin Fan’s feet.


“Ah! How could this be?” The Human ball screamed. He sounded like a normal person, and he no longer spoke in his creepy low voice.


Bang!


Lin Fan broke his shield and stepped on the human ball.


“Speak normally if you can; who are you trying to scare?” Lin Fan sneered and raised his hand. He performed the Transformation into G.o.d swordsmanship and allowed the sword to travel freely, killing all the other Divine Religion followers.


He gained two to three hundred points for every kill. Adding everything up, he got more than ten thousand points in total.


Seeing this, Wei Long was no longer as excited as he was. He looked at Xiao Zhen, who was cut into half as he stepped out of his skin.


~What’s going on?~


Wei Long stood still, trembling. ~The Divine Religion was very powerful; why were they killed so easily by this person?~ He gulped in fear.


~Did he spare my life just because I am still useful?~


Plop!


Wei Long dropped to the ground and kowtowed to Lin Fan. “Please spare my life, lord. I was threatened by the Divine Religion. I didn’t work with them willingly!”


“C’mere.” Lin Fan signal


Wei Long came over to Lin Fan, shaking in fear. He then dropped to the ground again.


Lin Fan picked up the person below his feet. “What’s this. It’s so sticky. Why do you choose to be something so weird instead of staying human? Speak up, where did you hide the children?”


“Who are you?” The Bishop screamed. He could not believe that he was crushed so easily.


“Lord, I know where the children are!” Wei Long shouted. Being the Divine Religion’s partner, he was aware of where the children were kept.


“Wei Long, the Divine religion will never let you go if you betray us!” Gu Yao screamed. He stared at Wei Long with his white-colored eyes.


Puke!


Lin Fan pulled out the Tai Sovereign sword and pierced Gu Yao like a skewer.


“It’s disgusting to touch you. This is better.”


“Bring me over. As long as you speak the truth, I’ll spare your life.”


“Yes, thank you, Lord.” Wei Long said. He couldn’t care less about the Divine Religion anymore. ~If I don’t speak now, I’ll die!~


While on the way to the place where the children were kept.


“Do you know him?” Lin Fan asked.


“Yes.” Wei Long, who was leading the way, answered. “He’s Gu Yao, the Bishop of Divine Religion’s Eighth District.”


Lin Fan nodded. “Are you aware of what organization is the Divine Religion and who is behind them?”


“I don’t. I’m only the Mayor of Wei River city, and Gu Yao is the only person I have come in contact with.” Wei Long said in fear.


He was aware that Lin Fan was no ordinary Magnificent Flame Sect disciple. ~Or else why would he be this powerful?~
