Lin Fan and the others sighed in huge relief when they reached the foot of the mountain. Discover stories with novelbuddy
The town was just right ahead.
Just a little bit more and they could get back to the military guard post in Huai Mountain.
This boost of ecstasy even got Lai Qing to walk on his own, climbing down from his brother’s back.
"Hurry, just a little bit more and we can be enjoying hotpot again," Hun Yen Kun, who was now feeling better, said.
He looked up at the night sky and continued, "I shall compose a poem worthy of our tough and courageous deed."
The rest of the team ignored him, rolled their eyes, and hastened their pace.
"Wait," Hun Yen Kun said.
"Senior martial brother, we aren’t really interested in your poems," Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders as he walked past Hun Yen Kun.
"No. Look." Hun Yen Kun grabbed onto Lin Fan’s robe and pointed his fan at the sky.
Lin Fan looked up and saw an orange dot in the sky flying in circles.
The orange dot became larger and larger as it came closer and closer.
"Disperse and run towards the pickup point!" Lin Fan shouted.
They had a higher chance for most of them to survive if they separated.
The team quickly ran on their separate paths towards the pickup point.
When Boer Si Ti saw them making a move, he whipped his leash onto the Flaming Vulture.
With his targets far apart now, he decided to go for the one nearest to him.
The Flaming Vulture took a nosedive and swooped down on Lin Fan.
A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan’s mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected 2 souls with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate them with malevolent intent for 700 vengeance points.]
When Lin Fan saw a shadow over him becoming larger and larger, he quickly used the amulet and turned into the form of the Earth Breaker Salamander.
This surprised Boer Si Ti, as it was the first time he had seen anyone doing this.
Thud.
The claws of the Flaming Vulture couldn’t get through the armor plates all over the Earth Breaker Salamander’s body.
It tried to use its beak to peck at the Earth Breaker Salamander.
Lin Fan drew in a deep breath, making his Earth Breaker Salamander’s abdomen round like a balloon.
Then the belly turned flat again, and hot glowing magma shot out from the cracks of the plates.
The Flaming Vulture was immune to the magma, but some of it burned Boer Si Ti’s feet as they were exposed on the side.
It angered him, and he jumped down from the mount.
Crack.
He whipped at the Earth Breaker Salamander’s head.
It didn’t do anything but cause a small crack on the armor plate.
Lin Fan turned and lashed at Boer Si Ti with the Earth Breaker Salamander’s tail.
Whoosh.
The tail with its armor plate went by Boer Si Ti’s face and smashed onto his cheeks.
"Damn you!" Boer Si Ti injected his Qi onto his whip, and it glowed with a ghastly red.
In an instant, he lashed out the whip at least thirty times onto the same spot.
This cracked the armor plate of the Earth Breaker Salamander.

Lin Fan tried to dodge the whip, but the Flaming Vulture was onto his eyes.
Pecking at them to try and blind him.
Without much choice, he turned back into his human form.
And he leaped away to safety.
"General, we are here!"
Soldiers shouted as they caught up to Boer Si Ti.
Boer Si Ti smirked and looked at Lin Fan.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fan cried out to the soldiers, "Now is the time, brothers! Fight for the Quan Emperor! Long live his Majesty!"
"Hahaha. Have you gone mad? These are my brave Hulu Warriors!"
Boer Si Ti couldn’t believe the stupidity of Lin Fan.
But what happened next shocked him.
One of the soldiers thrust his spear at Boer Si Ti’s neck.
"You?!" He held onto the spear on his neck as it couldn’t penetrate his skin.
The other soldiers followed suit.
Some thrust their spears at the Flaming Vulture, and some joined in at spearing Boer Si Ti.
Lin Fan took the opportunity to run away.
After using the Decurion Leader, he had enough Qi for at most one Eight Trigram Beast Transformation Strike.
He ran past the shop they had harbored in earlier, and onto the streets.
The entrance of the town was now in sight.
Boer Si Ti was still dealing with his soldiers.
There was nothing else he could do except run for his life.
The commotion woke up some of the villagers, and they came out to see what had happened.
All they saw was a man in black robes running on the street.
But their eyes opened wide when they saw a man in Hulu tribe’s attire coming after him.
"The Hulu tribe is here again!" They shouted and got back into their houses, trying to run away from the Hulu tribe.
Lin Fan knew Boer Si Ti was now hot on his trail when he heard the villagers shout.
But at the next moment, he saw a shimmer of orange trail coming down from the sky.
It was the Flaming Vulture.
Lin Fan stopped running and took out his hammers.
He leaped to the side and suddenly changed his direction at the Flaming Vulture again.
This took the Flaming Vulture by surprise as it turned clumsily with its feet to face Lin Fan.
By now Lin Fan was next to it.
He immediately swung one of his hammers at the Flaming Vulture’s beak as it came towards his neck.
Dang.
The hammer hit the beak and stunned the Flaming Vulture momentarily.
It bought enough time for Lin Fan to swipe his other hammer at the Flaming Vulture’s neck.
The Frost Fang Ice Tiger shot at its neck and gnawed on it.
With the frost and chills, the neck froze and hardened.
The flames on the feathers of the Flaming Vulture didn’t help.
Lin Fan then smashed onto the Flaming Vulture’s neck.
Splatter.
The neck splattered into pieces as it was frozen like a block of ice.
A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations on terminating malevolent intent.]
[Vengeance points + 200.]
