A figure could be seen shooting through the sky, drawing a line through the clouds.
He could see a city in the distance.
Five Finger City.
The city was bustling with activity, and the streets were filled with citizens and the shouts of vendors. The city was a good representation of how prosperous the Magnificent Flame Sect was.
This was one of the better cities of the Magnificent Flame Sect.
The more prosperous a city was, the more aristocratic families there would be in the city. Some family members would choose to stay and help the family grow, while others would leave for the sect.
“Would there be any Divine Religion followers here?”
Lin Fan said, standing in the sky. He could feel the aura of the powerful disciple guarding the city clearly. ~ He’s an elite. The Divine religion might be afraid to invade this city. It’s normal to have a powerful disciple guard an important city.~
“Yun Yan greets Peak Leader Lin.”
Just as Lin Fan was looking down at the city, a man left his house and came to Lin Fan’s side.
“Peak Leader Lin, Yun Yan apologize for being late to welcome you. Please forgive me.”
Yun Yan wore a green robe, and he had chiseled features. Along with a few junior brothers, they guarded the Five Finger City together. He came to welcome Lin Fan as soon as he felt his aura.
The eleventh peak leader of the Magnificent Flame Sect was currently the biggest celebrity in the sect. Being both a new peak leader and Elder Tian Xu’s direct disciple made him possess an astonishing status in the sect. Even Yun Yan had to treat him with respect.
“Elder Yun, you’re too polite. I’m just out on a trip, and I happened to pass by, so I decided to check any Divine Religion followers are hidden in the city. ”
Lin Fan smiled. That was the reason for him leaving. ~Since I’m going to hunt them down, I’m not going to spare any city.~
“Peak Leader Lin, we check the city daily. We haven’t discovered any followers as of yet, but they hide so well that it makes it difficult for us to locate any.” Yun Yan said.
“Mmm. I’ll take a look.” Lin Fan nodded. Unlike others, he had his own way of identifying Divine Religion followers. His method was way more accurate than most.
Yun Yan looked at Lin Fan in shock. ~How is he going to do it? We can only identify them after numerous tests! How are you going to do it just by looking at the city?~
Even the sect’s elders might not be able to do so.
Just then.
Lin Fan took in a deep breath and sucked the air up. A strong suction force could be felt, forming a mini-tornado that went through the streets.
Yun Yan widened his eyes in horror. ~This…..~
Cough!
Lin Fan took in some dust by accident, which irritated his throat. He then tried to distinguish any Divine Religion follower’s scent.
Inside the city!
“What was that strong wind for?”
“My store nearly fell because of it!”
The store owners were trying their best to keep their store and goods in place. They looked up in confusion, only to realize that two figures were standing in the sky.
“Look, there are people in the sky!”
“That’s Lord Yun, the lord who guards our city. Who’s the one next to him?”
The disciples guarding the Five Finger city looked up and bowed towards Lin Fan at the same time. “Greetings, Peak Leader Lin.”
Lin Fan nodded with a thin smile while analyzing the breath that he just took in.
Yun Yan stood at the side and watched silently. He wasn’t able to tell what skill Lin Fan just performed. But it seemed like it was a special way to identify Divine Religion Followers.
Inside the city, a fat pig could be seen lying down inside a pigpen. But when it felt the aura, its eyes widened in fear.
Similarly, an old beggar was currently lying in the middle of a group of beggars serving him. The old beggar jumped up in fear.
As well as many other figures. They all jumped up after feeling the aura.
“They are definitely good at hiding.”
Lin Fan opened his eyes and let out a laugh. ~Nothing can escape my incredibly sensitive nose.”
“Peak Leader Lin, are there really followers hidden in the city?” Yun Yan asked. He was currently at a loss for words. ~I look through the city every day! How could we miss them?~
~But peak leader Lin was able to identify them just by taking in a breath. He’s really something else.~
“Hehe, this is nothing. Their skill sets have been improved, making it impossible for one to identify them normally. But you don’t need to worry; they can’t hide from me.”
As soon as Lin Fan finished his words, numerous sword intents were felt.
He had recently upgraded his Transformation of God swordsmanship to level three.
He now had absolute control over his sword intent.
“Kill!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Sword intent flew all over the place before slashing down at different parts of the city.
Feeling the sharp and strong sword intent, shock was all over Yun Yan’s face. ~The Invincible Peak Leader is more powerful than the rumors.~
The fat pig in the pigpen currently had a headache. It had no idea what it should do, as all they were told was to stay hidden and eavesdrop until they received new orders.
Puke!
Suddenly, the sword intent shot towards the pig and sliced its head off. The intent cut through the body, destroying all its organs.
Of course, the followers that were hidden in the body were just a ball of flesh. It turned into minced meat under the attack.
“Ah! My pig! Why did it die suddenly?” A citizen that came to feed his pig was thrown off his feet by this scene.
The old beggar got to his feet immediately, ready to leave. Unfortunately, before he could, he was being cut into half by the sword intent.
The surrounding beggars had blood splatter all over them before they could react. When they realized what had happened, their shrieks rang through the city.
A wild dog could be seen running through the city. It angered many citizens who shouted at it, but they thought that it was a mad dog.
Suddenly, the dog jumped into the air to try and dodge the intent shooting towards it. It couldn’t get out of the way in time as its brain exploded, blood and flesh flying all over the place.
This left the citizens watching in horror. They weren’t aware of what was going on.
Yun Yan, who was standing in the sky, watched the various scenes unfold closely. When he saw the ball of flesh coming out from the dog, his face fell. He knew that it was the skin-changing collection at work.
He couldn’t believe that the skill sets would even work on animals.
They only checked people and paid no attention to the animals in the city.
Yun Yan couldn’t imagine how many followers he must’ve let in unintentionally.
However, it seems like Peak Leader Lin had already seen through their tricks. Lin Fan could identify them simply just by taking a deep breath. This made Yun Yan admire Lin Fan even more.
Suddenly, a black ray of light shot up into the air and left the city. An angry shout rang out.
“Invincible Peak Leader. How dare you go keep moving against us? We will never let you off.”
“Interesting. He must be something to resist my sword intent.”
Lin Fan smiled and chased after it.
No other followers survived Lin Fan’s sword intent, except for this ray of light.
~But this was a serious matter. The Divine religion was something to infiltrate the Five Finger City. They might not have taken any action yet. Still, they were definitely spying on us and sending information back to the religion.~
~The consequences would be dire if they decided to take any action.~
“Slash!”
Bang!
Yun Yan covered his eyes with his hands. When Lin Fan sped off, it made the wind scatter behind him. Lin Fan flew off at the speed of lightning.
Yun Yan wanted to follow up, but Lin Fan’s voice rang in his ears.
“Stay here, Elder Yun. Guard the city while I catch him.”
The ray of light shot through the sky. It had just escaped from its “body” and didn’t even get a chance to straighten his body. There was a wound made by the sword intent on his chest. If he wasn’t powerful enough, he would have died to the sword intent.
“It’s you. You’ll get your karma.” The follower said, eyes not leaving Lin Fan. He yelled and sped up, trying to escape.
“Fast, but I don’t believe I can’t catch you.”
Lin Fan didn’t expect the ray of light to be so fast. He might have low cultivation, but he was extremely fast.
Lin Fan took out his mace.
His mace shone brightly.
“Grow! Grow! Grow!”
The mace increased in size instantly, and a giant mace could be seen flying through the skies.
“Continue running. I’ll show you the power of my giant mace.”
Lin Fan lifted his mace and smashed it down on the light. The sharp spikes on the mace sliced space apart. There was nothing left in his way.
With the one attack, the air current was separated. An intense pressure suppressed the figure, the mace right above the follower’s head.
The follower turned pale as a sheet of paper and screamed. “What the hell is this….”
“Your daddy’s huge d***.”
Bang!
The skies collapsed, and the ground sank. The mace pieced through the follower’s body as his screams could be heard.
Shrink! Shrink!
The mace shrunk continuously. At least, a ball of meat could be seen on the tip of the mace, the follower currently vomiting blood.
Lin Fan lifted the mace up high like a trophy.
“Whatever, you won’t tell me why you here anyways. I’ll just kill you.” Without hesitation, Lin Fan got ready to take the follower’s life.
