From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master-Chapter 398: The Escape
Thud.
Without hesitation, he hacked down on his right arm with full force.
Crack.
It was not enough, and he only fractured his arm.
"Help Dark Physician Wu at all cost. Keep him alive as he brought me back from death." The Dark Lord's words rang in his mind, and Huo Ren Yi hacked down on his arm at full force again.
There could be no excuse.
He shall accomplish the mission handed to him by the Dark Lord.
Splatter.
It tore off the bones and flesh of his arm, and he was now free from Zhang Yi Nian's grasp.
With a huge leap, he fell into the crater.
Lin Fan didn't stop him as he prepared to unleash another Volcanic Roar at Huo Ren Yi.
He took a deep breath and gave out a roar at Huo Ren Yi.
The heat and molten embers pelted at Huo Ren Yi, burning his skin initially.
But within the next moment, Huo Ren Yi's body glowed and absorbed the heat and molten embers.
His Heaven Devouring Technique could only be dealt with using the primitive method of exchanging blows like what Zhang Yi Nian did.
Huo Ren Yi thought he was late as he saw the headless body and the head of Dark Physician Wu carbonized.
As he got closer, he saw a small patch of flesh that was still intact on the headless body's back.
Huo Ren Yi got to it and ripped the flesh out of the back.
Having done that, he tried to leap out of the crater.
Thud.
Lin Fan was waiting for this, and he activated his Skybound Stride ability.
He kicked at Huo Ren Yi when he appeared out of the crater.
It landed and sent Huo Ren Yi flying back into the crater.
Huo Ren Yi stared at Lin Fan and gave out a roar at him.
The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.
Intense heat and molten embers pelted at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan could feel his skin being scorched as the heat wave and molten embers got nearer.
He quickly turned into a mist and traveled away from the roar.
This gave Huo Ren Yi an opportunity to leap out of the crater.
Without hesitation, Huo Ren Yi ran away in the direction of the stairs leading out of Yi Mei Sect.
Zhang Yi Nian quickly stood in his way, ready to tackle him down.
He lunged at Huo Ren Yi with his hands opened wide, trying to grab onto Huo Ren Yi.
But Huo Ren Yi knelt onto the ground and slid past Zhang Yi Nian.
"Master, go inform the sect master of what happened. Let me handle him," Lin Fan said as he ran past Zhang Yi Nian.
"Go," Zhang Yi Nian nodded, and he headed towards the open square.
...
Huo Ren Yi gave whatever he had, leaping nonstop towards the exit of the Yi Mei Sect.
He had to get Dark Physician Wu's flesh back to the resurrection blood pool as soon as possible.
When the Dark Lord and the others from the Dark Temple didn't see them coming back, they would have activated their contingency plan instead, so Huo Ren Yi wasn't in a hurry to meet up with the others.
"Just a few more leaps away."
He saw the entrance to the Yi Mei Sect very near him and turned his head looking at the back.
Luckily, there was no one in sight.
However, he didn't look up as Lin Fan was hovering in the air using his Skybound Stride ability.
The clouds floating by were a great cover for Lin Fan.
And whenever he lost sight of Huo Ren Yi, he used his Resonant Echo ability to track him using his hearing that could reach five kilometers.
"Finally, that pesky Lin Fan is gone."
When Huo Ren Yi got out of the entrance of Yi Mei Sect, he thought he was clear, and he took a breather.
The injuries from Zhang Yi Nian, constant loss of blood, and running away had taken a toll on him.
He panted with his upper body bent forward.
However, with his head looking down, he noticed that the shadow on the ground grew bigger and bigger.
Before he could react, a fireball crashed onto him, and a loud boom erupted.
Lin Fan had used his Inferno Comet ability with the Skybound Stride ability to perfection.
Huo Ren Yi fell into the crater, and the magma burnt his body.
The impact from the Inferno Comet had caused his right arm to be decimated starting from his shoulder.
Enduring the pain, Huo Ren Yi tried to stand up, as he knew he had to get out of the crater.
Lin Fan, however, was ready.
He turned into a mist, and the mist passed through the body of Huo Ren Yi.
Cough.
The Qi flow in the dantian of Huo Ren Yi was disrupted, and he felt as if his meridian's flow was reversed in a split second.
He had to cough out a mouthful of blood to make it better for himself.
Thud.
Lin Fan's claws came from the back, and he plunged them into the back of Huo Ren Yi.
...
Zhang Yi Nian got back to the open square.
The fighting for the first round was still going on.
The young masters were still cheering and eager to become the selected husband of Zhao Jia Rui.
Oblivious to what had transpired in the guest hall.
He saw those with the Dark Lord still around, and he hurriedly got to where Qing Yang Zi and Zhao Qing Ying were.
"Yi Nian, there you are. We were about to ask you about Lin Fan's participation in the selection fight."
Zhang Yi Nian didn't know what they were talking about, so Qing Yang Zi explained what had happened.
With a frown Zhang Yi Nian shook his head, as he didn't know anything about it, but this wasn't the time to dwell on it, there was something much more urgent.
"Sect master, we stopped the old man, but the muscular guy ran away with a piece of the old man's flesh. I think the rest of them are up to something else now that the old man has failed."
Zhang Yi Nian briefed Qing Yang Zi and Zhao Qing Ying on what had happened in the guest hall.
Qing Yang Zi nodded and thought for a moment.
"Quick, go and help Lin Fan while we monitor them over here."
Zhao Qing Ying stood up and walked over to where Mei Hong was.
They had to inform the Yi Mei Sect and get ready.
"Sect master Mei Hong, let me give you a toast," Zhao Qing Ying approached Mei Hong, lifted his teacup and said.
