Chapter 171: I Do Not Need a Bloodline to Kill You
The arena was currently shrouded by dust, and the sizzling of lightning bolts could still be clearly heard. There wasn’t anyone who dared to go near the arena, left by themselves to wonder what was happening.
“How is it? Did Senior Brother achieve victory?”
“I do not know. But they are so powerful! It feels like we might die just by coming in contact with the lightning bolts.”
“Senior Brother Lin is definitely the winner. I believe in him.”
“Pui, coming to our sect to humiliate us, huh? What’s worse is that none of the three peak leaders dare to show themselves. If not for Senior Brother Lin, how badly would we have been humiliated by the religious brother?”
“Regardless of the results, I’m going to stand by Senior Brother Lin’s side. Only a person like Senior Brother Lin will allow us to hold our heads high in front of other sects. We do not fear death, but we fear being scaredy-cats.”
Liu Yue smiled thinly. She might not have seen the results, but she believed that Lin Fan would not be compet.i.tion for the religious brother. That guy must be lying down on the ground, almost dead by now.
Liu Ruochen might have worn a solemn look on her face, but she was amazed by the skillset that the religious brother performed. The skillsets from the Saint Convent Sect are indeed powerful. That one is already stronger than many skillsets of the Magnificent Flame Sect.
Maybe I will get to pick up such a powerful skillset when I get to the Saint Convent Sect.
A prestigious sect is indeed powerful and unlike a small sect like the Magnificent Flame Sect.
Lord once promised me that I’ll receive a huge change when I get to the sect. I might be able to remain calm like always, but as the change is so close to taking place, it’s hard for me to stay calm.
Just then, a voice that was full of disdain and lack of energy could be heard coming from the arena.
“I guess I overestimated you. You’re already half-dead after four breaths. Weak. Such a weakling.”
A strong wind could be felt, scattering the dust. The situation on the arena could now be clearly seen, giving everyone a huge shock.
Boom!
With a bang, the mace dropped to the ground. Lin Fan stared at the figure lying on the arena. “The religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect. How dare you act presumptuously in front of me with such a low level of cultivation? If you weren’t a guest, you would have been turned into mincemeat by now.”
Liu Ruochen jumped up at the sight, losing her calm. Her expression was priceless as terror could be seen in her beautiful orbs.
She could not believe that such a powerful cultivator would lose to Lin Fan.
If she had not witnessed the scene, she would not have believed that the G.o.d-like religious brother would be defeated by a person that she disdained.
“Lord!” Liu Yue dropped to the ground with a thud. Fear could be seen in her eyes. “Impossible. This hateful guy, how could he defeat the religious brother?”
Elder Huo Rong was also very surprised by the result. He never dreamt that Lin Fan would indeed be able to take down the religious brother. He’s just an Earth Star Border Stage Six cultivator! Are there really monsters in the world who can suppress cultivators that are of much higher cultivation than themselves?
The human body is full of potential, and that’s what makes it wonderful. However, there’s a limit to everyone’s body. Other monster-like cultivators can only take down a cultivator that’s two stages higher than them, but this kid took down a cultivator who is three levels above his cultivation! How powerful must he be?
This was when Huo Rong realized the reason Tian Xu took in Lin Fan as his disciple. It’s not because Tian Xu was muddle-headed, it was because he could tell that Lin Fan is unlike others! Now, it seems like Tian Xu was right.
However, the elder standing next to him seemed to be unaffected by the scene.
“He has potential, but he has made a grave mistake. If he allowed the lord to cut his arm off, he might still have been able to save his own life, but it’s too late now….” the thin elder spoke up, sounding hoa.r.s.e. It was as if he was describing a matter of fact.
The spectating disciples stood on the spot blankly. When they returned to their senses, they clenched their fists, shouting with all their might.
“Senior Brother is the best! The strongest and invincible!”
“Haha. I’m so happy to see that the religious brother has been suppressed by Senior Brother Lin. How proud am I to be the sect mate of Senior Brother Lin? This result is dope. I feel so pumped up right now!”
“So what if you’re a religious brother? With Senior Brother Lin around, you are not going to act presumptuously here in our sect!”
“I hope to be like Senior Brother Lin one day. I will step on all those who humiliate us, the Magnificent Flame Sect, under my feet!”
Suddenly, the figure lying on the arena jolted. The rocks that were beneath his body started to crack violently, turning into dust within no time. A terrifying sound could then be heard by all.
“Great. This is great. You have successfully angered me. Disciple of the Magnificent Flame Sect, it’s your glory that you could injure me.”
Pitter-patter!
The silver lightning bolts dispersed within no time, and purple lightning bolts could now be seen curling up the religious brother’s body.
Crack!
The sound of bones cracking could be heard. The religious brother wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. Changes could be seen taking place to the part of his body that was injured. The huge, b.l.o.o.d.y wound turned into lightning bolts within no time, curling around the religious brother’s body.
“Do you know why the Saint Convent Sect is the best sect in the world and yet the Magnificent Flame Sect, who owns numerous territories, is a small sect? Let me give you the answer.
“Because of bloodlines. Everyone in the Saint Convent Sect, from the sect leader to the ants, are born with a prestigious bloodline that you weaklings aren’t. And now, let me show you my bloodline, the Sacred Lightning Body.
“Ah!”
The religious brother looked up to the sky and bellowed. It was as if heaven and earth were affected by him as black clouds bellowed, forming a huge tornado. A huge lightning bolt struck down, shrouding the religious brother.
A strong power could be felt, forcing all the disciples to move back. To them, the arena currently looked like a world of lightning, and the religious brother standing in the middle looked like the G.o.d of lightning from the heavens.
“He’s so powerful. I hope Senior Brother will be able to withstand it.”
All disciples were currently filled with worry. They thought that the religious brother had gone all-out previously. Now that the religious brother was going to fight at the best of his ability, their hopes were smashed, and they felt a sense of helplessness.
Are we really that inferior compared to him? Some disciples were unable to accept the fact.
To the disciples, bloodlines were something that were unreachable to them. The term was rarely even heard in the sect as Magnificent Flame Sect disciples were mostly ordinary people. Even if they did possess a bloodline, they got it by cultivating a beast’s bloodline into their body.
Compared to the Saint Convent Sect disciples who were born with bloodlines, they were as different as heaven and earth.
Just like the difference between an emperor and a beggar. They might both be humans, but the difference in their status was undeniable.
Liu Yue, who had received a blow previously, was delighted when she felt the force coming from the religious brother. Her face lit up immediately as an evil smile formed on her face.
“Ha, of course, why would the religious brother be taken down so easily? He just has not yet shown his true ability.”
Seeing the scene, the elder nodded in satisfaction. “Lord might not have a good ranking amongst the religious brothers at the moment, but when he breaks through to the Heaven Star Border Realm, his bloodline will completely activate, and the Sacred Lightning Body will be able to connect with heaven and earth, increasing his ability by more than ten times.
“And now, the religious brother has been angered. There is no one who can stop him. But be at ease, the lord knows to not kill that disciple. However, I’m afraid that he’s going to lose not one, but both of his arms.”
Lin Fan stood on the spot, allowing the lightning bolts to wrap around him. A smile could be seen on the corner of his mouth.
“Interesting. This is interesting.”
Step by step, he walked toward the religious brother.
“Religious brother of the Saint Convent Sect. It would be such a pity if that was the end.”
Under the witness of all, Lin Fan walked toward the religious brother. Numerous lightning bolts came up to him, trying to swallow Lin Fan down.
“But you still do not have any idea of what a real lightning bolt is like.”
Crack!
Lin Fan raised his hands and grabbed the lightning dragon that was swimming in front of him and destroyed it with a hand.
“Your lightning bolts are just like toys, they are not worth mentioning,”
“Haha, boasting shamelessly, huh? You’re still acting tough now, I see. Since that’s the case, I’ll show you the real power of the Sacred Lightning Body.
“World of Lightning!” the religious brother shouted. A purple G.o.d of lightning made of lightning bolts appeared with a loud cry. A lightning dragon could be seen coiling around his hands, and a destructive force could be felt. Chills ran down the spectating disciples’ spines as they felt a sense of hopelessness.
“The power of lightning is the most overbearing in the world, and this lightning G.o.d is the most tyrannical in the world. Any peasant who dares to provoke him will be turned into ashes.”
The religious brother opened his arms, congealing the lightning bolts between his palm. Lightning struck down from the tornado to the ground with a loud boom, getting stronger and stronger each time.
“Die!” the religious brother yelled in anger. Just as he pressed down his palms, the lightning G.o.d came toward Lin Fan with his giant palm.
Lin Fan remained calm as he stared at the religious brother, who had lightning bolts coiled around his body. “You might have the power from your bloodline, but you do not know how to build up your foundation. All you are doing is trying to breakthrough as fast as possible. To me, you’re not worthy to be an opponent.”
Lin Fan raised his hand to take the attack from the lightning G.o.d. The force was so strong that it made Lin Fan take a step back.
“Hahaha! Let me see how you’re going to fight back.” The religious brother laughed like a mad person. To him, Lin Fan was no different from an ant.
This was the difference between the level of cultivation. However, it would be belittling humans to think that they could be hindered by this difference,
Tian Xu had been paying close attention to the fight. As soon as something went wrong, he could step out and save his disciple’s life. He had been getting ready to do so since the religious brother started gathering all his energy.
To him, Lin Fan had already done well. He managed to do something that no Magnificent Flame Sect disciple could.
No matter what the result was, he was proud to have him as his disciple.
Watching Lin Fan taking steps back under the pressure of the lightning G.o.d, he knew that Lin Fan was at his limit.
But just as he was about to take action, a jaw-dropping scene took place.
“G.o.d of Violence, Tianzhong!”
Tian Xu could not believe his ears. Others did not understand what Lin Fan was shouting, but he did.
The second G.o.d of the Magic of the Seven G.o.ds It was also the strongest G.o.d amongst all seven.
Violent Body!
Lin Fan could feel the energy trying to force its way out of his body.
“Religious Brother, you have not experienced real strength. Take this chance to do so.”
Boom!
A beam of light shot up to the sky, dispersing the black clouds.
To the spectating disciples, Lin Fan was no longer like he was before. An extremely strong force could be felt throughout the area, and they felt like they were suppressed by it.
His black hair that was floating started to change to red from the roots. Every time it spread, Lin Fan became stronger. When it reached the tips of his hair, Lin Fan looked like a blood demon. Blood tattoos could be seen from the corner of his eyes, going all the way down to his jaw. The blood-colored orbs that were staring into s.p.a.ce sent chills running down everyone’s spine.
A blood-colored violent G.o.d appeared from behind him, sending the mace and frying pan in his hands toward the lightning G.o.d. The lightning G.o.d dispersed with one attack.
Every time Lin Fan took a step forward, it felt as if the sky collapsed. The spectating disciples were extremely pressurized.
He raised his hands and lightly tore a huge hole in the lightning world.
He took a step forward. The red shadow that was projected by his red hair appeared in front of the religious brother within no time.
The religious brother blinked his eyes. It was as if he had entered another s.p.a.cetime. But before he could realize what was going on, he was picked up by his head.
“Can you feel it? This is what strength is.” Lin Fan looked down at him, looking bored. “Your bloodline is not worth mentioning in front of me.
“It’s nothing to be proud of. A Magnificent Flame Sect disciple like me can kill you like how I kill an ant without a bloodline.”
Presumptuous and arrogant.
Some spectating disciples below the arena grabbed their heads with their hands. They felt as if their energy was going to burst out of their heads, and they could not stand it.
“Senior Brother is invincible!”
Without a bloodline, he could kill a disciple with a high status like an ant.
This made them extremely excited.
