The one who attacked Fan Hong was not someone from his own faction, but rather an inner sect disciple under another Sect Leader’s direct disciple. The candidates for the Wild Blade Clan Sect Leader are chosen from the current Sect Leader’s direct disciples. In the past few years of struggle, more than ten disciples of the Sect Leader were either eliminated or persuaded, leaving only seven who established their own factions to vie for the final position of Sect Leader. However, although there are seven, only three among them are truly powerful. The First Disciple of the Sect Leader, Xue Rongdao, Late Stage of Star Battle. The Second Disciple of the Sect Leader, Ren Jiuxiao, Middle Stage of Star Battle. The Junior Disciple of the Sect Leader, Ying Zhong, Late Stage of Star Battle. These three individuals not only possess astonishing strength but also have commendable charisma. After years of development, these three are the only ones among the seven current candidates who have a true chance of obtaining the final position. Unfortunately, the master whom Fan Hong follows, whose direct disciple he is under, is not among these seven. Currently, the one launching a surprise attack against Fan Hong in the valley is a junior brother under Eldest Senior Brother Xue Rongdao. Recently, Xue Rongdao clearly felt that Ren Jiuxiao and Ying Zhong were becoming increasingly unmanageable, and as the First Disciple, he naturally could not allow things to continue developing unchecked. On the advice of advisors around him, Xue Rongdao decided to unite the weak to fight against the strong. He allied with the four relatively weaker junior brothers to combat the increasingly swelling force of Ren Jiuxiao and Ying Zhong. But he never imagined that Sun Xiaorui, the leader of Fan Hong’s faction, would be uninterested in Xue Rongdao’s invitation. In a fit of anger, Xue Rongdao decided to take action directly and show Sun Xiaorui a lesson. Who does she think she is, just a filler in this competition, to dare defy Xue Rongdao? Today, after rejecting Xue Rongdao, Sun Xiaorui prepared to confer with her junior brothers by specially inviting them for a meeting. Unexpectedly, Xue Rongdao acted so swiftly. In one move, he directly targeted over a hundred of Sun Xiaorui’s inner sect disciples. The situation Fan Hong is experiencing now is just one of the over a hundred such encounters. Lu Lin carefully avoided the attacks from the Star Dust Realm disciples below from his Sky-flying White Horse. He was just a bit fed up with Fan Hong’s mishaps. Mr. Fan, weren’t you looking quite competent just now? How did you manage to get into such a mess as soon as you turned around? After being tested by Fan Hong three times consecutively, Lu Lin also grew slightly irked. If Fan Hong wanted to test his strength, then Lu Lin would go all out once. Those two Star Core Periods pretending to fight with Fan Hong were naturally not opponents Lu Lin could currently deal with, but how much harm could some ordinary Star Dust Realm fighters even at their peak do to Lu Lin? Lu Lin barged into the crowd like a humanoid beast. With the terrifying power he possessed, Lu Lin was almost unstoppable, god-blocking-god-killing and Buddha-blocking-Buddha-killing. The disciples who came to stop and attack Lu Lin were momentarily left with broken bones and tendons, screams ringing out continuously. As Fan Hong ran further away with the two Star Core Period individuals, there was no one left standing around Lu Lin. Lu Lin shouted before bending down to help these junior brothers up. But just as Lu Lin was reaching out, a disciple suddenly swung a knife at him. Lu Lin hurriedly leaned back to avoid the blade. "Junior brother, there’s no need to be so serious, I’ve already beaten you guys." "If you’re angry, you can hit me back later." Lu Lin was a bit displeased. To him, the fight was over, so why were these people still so persistent? His combat ability should have been observed clearly by Mr. Fan, so why were they so serious? Too dedicated, really. "Less nonsense, die." That disciple didn’t understand what Lu Lin was saying, his face showed a ferocious grin, and he swung his knife towards Lu Lin again. Lu Lin dodged twice more, then realized something wasn’t right. Just now during the "test," these junior brother were indeed hitting viciously. If it weren’t for the heavy armor Lu Lin was wearing that could somewhat resist their attacks, there’s no saying he could have really been defeated by them. This was also why Lu Lin increased his hand strength later on. But now looking at the expressions on these senior brothers’ faces and their movements, it seemed that it wasn’t as simple as just testing Lu Lin. They were truly trying to kill Lu Lin. Although dying inside the Battlefield Secret Realm will not harm the body, Lu Lin still had his own mission. He had been in the Secret Realm for almost half a day and hadn’t found any trace of Zhang Xianzhi yet, so how could he so easily let these fellow disciples kill him? After retreating two steps to evade another attack from three people opposite, Lu Lin showed a hint of ferocity on his face. If you’re so ruthless, then don’t blame me for being merciless. No matter what happens later. Putting in all the power, Lu Lin’s broken knife chopped the disciple opposite in half in one strike. After slaying his opponent, Lu Lin did not stop and continued towards other disciples who could still stand. Earlier, Lu Lin thought it was a test from Fan Hong, which led to him not using his full strength. But now that he was truly putting in effort, there was almost no one who could withstand a single move from Lu Lin. Lu Lin no longer cared whether this was a test from Fan Hong; he just wanted to slay all these over a hundred disciples. I treated you as brothers, and you turned around trying to kill me. Then let’s see who kills whom exactly. More and more outer sect disciples under Xue Rongdao were killed by Lu Lin. Only then did a trace of fear appear in the eyes of the disciples besieging Lu Lin. His ability makes it hard to discern his exact realm, but his combat power is terrifying. Since when did Sun Xiaorui have such a figure under her command? One person suppressing a hundred. Seeing the disciples they usually lived with day and night get turned to soldiers by Lu Lin in various ways, Xue Rongdao’s followers were finally frightened. Who knew who first hid their form and silently left the battle area, disappearing without a trace. Soon, one by one, the disciples silently withdrew, not daring to fight Lu Lin anymore. Damn, this kid is a peerless fiend. In the Battlefield Secret Realm, though you wouldn’t die, dying once means you have to undergo secret realm training once more. For each training, you must complete various basic skills, saber methods, and combat practice without any discounts, which takes at least a month. Who would waste a month’s time in this age repeating those basic trainings? Better to just run away. Anyway, it’s not their problem if a plan went wrong during execution. Blame it on the intelligence system. The sound of the wind reached Lu Lin’s ears, and only then did he exit his killing state. When entering the Mad Blade Secret Realm before, having gone through the slaughter on the prairie and experiencing the lifetime of the Wild Blade Heavenly Emperor. Every time he fought fiercely, he would somewhat lose control of himself. He knew this was his problem, but he had no intention of changing it in the short term. On the battlefield, going a bit crazy could just make your enemies fear you, dread you, and stay away from you. Lu Lin looked back at the path he had traveled, corpses everywhere, black blood flowing, an image of hell on earth. Did he really cause this? However, the other brothers should have escaped by now, right? They wouldn’t come back, would they? Mr. Fan, you really escalated things this time. Lu Lin thought so in his heart, signaling to the white horse in the sky, sitting quietly underground, waiting for Fan Hong’s return. A quarter of an hour. Two quarters of an hour. Lu Lin still hadn’t seen Fan Hong, and couldn’t help but wonder. What is Mr. Fan doing, really considering this task as an "actual combat" assessment for me? If it were real combat, Lu Lin certainly wouldn’t be sitting here at ease, waiting. Even if his ability was insufficient, he would have to help Fan Hong to hold off his opponents. Alright, since Mr. Fan wants to play , Lu Lin decided to play along completely. Activating the Guiding Star Skill, Lu Lin sat atop the Sky-flying White Horse, flying in the direction of Fan Hong. "Whose subordinates are you, to attack me so suddenly?" Fan Hong fled clumsily in the mountain forest. His left arm was severed, so at this moment he couldn’t waste Star Power to reattach it. His right leg was also slashed by the opponents, affecting his speed. "Heh, the dead don’t need to know so much." The inner sect disciple opposite said sinisterly. As he spoke, he continued his actions, slashing toward Fan Hong with one slice after another. The two who attacked Fan Hong were clearly well-coordinated from years of practicing martial arts together, and Fan Hong was on the brink of defeat. Just then, Lu Lin’s voice sounded. "Mr. Fan, you made this assessment task too real." "I have already killed all those brothers acting as attackers." The two inner sect disciples attacking Fan Hong suddenly were startled, slowing their actions significantly. Fan Hong saw an opportunity and barely escaped from them, reaching Lu Lin. "Lu Lin, this is not a test." "These two really intend to kill me." Lu Lin looked at Fan Hong in surprise, then at the two disciples who hesitated before attacking again. "Damn, Mr. Fan, why didn’t you say so earlier." Lu Lin grabbed Fan Hong and quickly retreated. Get full chapters from 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚑𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥 He had been watching Fan Hong and the two disciples fighting for some time, secretly admiring Mr. Fan’s dedication to acting. This spirit was something that many young actors in the federation couldn’t compare to. But he didn’t expect it to be real rather than a performance. Luckily, Lu Lin hadn’t let the Sky-flying White Horse roam too far, and at this moment, he signaled to it, and before it landed, swiftly grabbed Fan Hong, leaping onto its back. The two Star Core Realm disciples chasing Fan Hong also took to the air, trying to catch up with Lu Lin. But the flying speed of Star Core Realm Martial Artists is far inferior to that of the Sky-flying White Horse. After chasing for a distance, they saw they couldn’t catch up and landed again. If they did not remember wrong, Lu Lin had just said he had killed all those top-ranking outer sect disciples who came to assist them. How could that be possible? In Star Power cultivation, each level is worlds apart. At the same level, there might be situations of fighting across levels, but battling beyond levels, no matter how useless higher-level people are or how talented lower-level people are, won’t change the outcome. In their eyes, Lu Lin’s ability was at most at the peak of the Star Dust Realm. Though he hadn’t defeated a Star Core Realm master, facing hundreds of same-level masters alone and killing them all. However, as the two reached the valley and saw the battlefield littered with corpses slain by Lu Lin, along with the dozen or so ninth-level Star Dust Realm warriors appearing when they showed up. The two immediately realized, this might really have been done by Lu Lin.
