Lin An looked at the rest of the members of the Forest Wolf Gang and said, “Alright, what are you waiting for? Attack!”
The few sword-wielding cultivators listening to Lin An’s arrogant words didn’t think that he was courting death. Instead, their hearts were filled with anticipation.
He had actually dared the Forest Wolf Gang members to attack him at once!
Many of the sword-wielding cultivators had imagined that they would say such a line in their lifetime.
They all felt that Lin An was too arrogant!
At the same time, the sword-wielding female cultivators present were filled with admiration, and they looked at Lin An in a daze.
However, some members of the Forest Wolf Gang felt that Lin An’s challenge was ridiculous, and they laughed out loud.
In their eyes, Lin An was only at the initial stage of the golden core level. The fact that he had killed the middle-aged man had completely been due to the unexpected effect of the magic treasure.
Such a powerful magic treasure had to have a cool-down period.
Moreover, the Forest Wolf Gang still had seven nascent soul stage cultivators. Could Lin An kill them all at once?
“Haha! Looks like you can’t wait to go to hell. Then we’ll send you on your way!”
Suddenly, an elder from the Forest Wolf Gang addressed the other six nascent soul stage cultivators. “Everyone, since our leader is dead, why don’t we use this kid as our wager. Whoever kills him first will become the next leader of the Forest Wolf Gang!”
The six nascent soul stage cultivators looked at Lin An with playful gazes and replied, “Okay!”
Lin An had always adhered to a more aggressive principle in all of his battles. Since he had already decided to fight, he didn’t waste any more time. A surge of blue lightning covered his entire body, and he used his lighting avatar to charge towards the Forest Wolf Gang members!
“Hehe, is this kid so eager to die?”
The few nascent soul stage experts laughed mockingly.
They knew that Lin An’s cultivation was at the sixth level of the initial golden core stage, and in their eyes, there was nothing to be afraid of.
However, as Lin An approached, the nascent soul stage experts were instantly moved. His body carried a strong sense of danger, and they felt as if a grim reaper was approaching.
Immediately, chills ran through their spines as they anticipated the attack.
Lin An stabbed out his Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword, and the dazzling sword’s shadow brought with it a terrifying power as it poured down on the nascent soul stage experts.
Clang! Clang! Clang
The sounds of weapons clashing rang out continuously. The seven nascent soul stage cultivators either used their swords and spells to block Lin An’s attack. However, their bodies were all suppressed by the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword, and they retreated frantically.
Instantly, the shockwaves from the collision spread out in all directions, causing the large group of Forest Wolf Gang disciples in the surroundings to fall to the ground.
The sword control cultivators who were watching the battle were stunned!
Lin An held the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword in his hand as he charged towards the Forest Wolf Gang members. His supreme figure glided across the forest gracefully as if he was a god of war.
“How could this be?”
“He’s only at the sixth stage of the golden core level. Even if he has a superior cultivation technique and can fight against nascent soul cultivators, he can’t possibly fight against seven of them with such ease, right?”
The members of the Forest Wolf Gang were also filled with shock. Lin An’s actions had completely overturned their understanding of the cultivation world.
After they had observed the first round of the battle, the sword control cultivators stared at Lin An in a daze. Their strange gazes blankly roamed around his body.
Among them, a few girls bit their lips lightly. Lin An’s strength had truly broadened their horizons. His ability to suppress so many nascent soul stage cultivators at the same time with the cultivation of a golden core stage disciple was simply unheard of.
In the end, Lin An’s aura had deeply shocked everyone present!
Abruptly, all the Forest Wolf Gang cultivators who were below the nascent soul stage got up from the ground in fear and fled in all directions.
The seven nascent soul stage cultivators were even more dumbfounded. They covered their chests and slowly crawled up from the ground. After they wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, they looked at Lin An in fear.
“How is this possible!”
“How can a mere golden core stage cultivator possess such combat strength!”
“Who exactly are you?”
Lin An placed the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword on his shoulder and replied, “You don’t need to know. I’m just a dying man. Let me send you all to hell.”
Suddenly, a blast of black and white ashen flames surged onto Lin An’s palm. He waved his hand without mercy, and instantly, the entire forest was filled with light.
“Ah!”
The seven nascent soul stage cultivators let out terrified cries. Four of them were swallowed by the black flames, while the other three were frozen by the white flames.
The black and white ashen flames continued to sweep into the distance and consumed the fleeing Forest Wolf Gang disciples, as well as the trees and demonic beasts in their path.
After a few minutes, the entire space was instantly clear.
[“Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained twenty-one lucky draw coins.”]
[“Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained twenty-three lucky draw coins.”]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning the battle. You have obtained twenty-one lucky draw coins.”]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a lucky drop. You have received two golden core stage advancement pills.”]
A series of success rate system notifications rang in Lin An’s ears.
He instantly swallowed the two golden core stage advancement pills and used the lottery coins he had earned to obtain another advancement pill.
Then, he raised his cultivation level to the ninth stage of the advanced golden core level. He was now only one stage away from the peak of the golden core stage.
After he saw the improvement in his cultivation level, Lin An was very surprised. He hadn’t expected that his encounter with the Forest Wolf Gang would bring him so many benefits. He had already earned more than a thousand lucky draw coins.
The surrounding sword control cultivators were bewildered. The ice sculptures in front of them were a reminder of the unbelievable scenes they had just witnessed.
They looked at Lin An with startled expressions, and they had already run out of superlatives to describe him.
Before Lin An had appeared at the swamp, the sword-wielding cultivators had been willing to submit their weapons and escape. Who would have thought that they would have been saved? Lin An had destroyed the entire Forest Wolf Gang with just a wave of his hand!
“Wait, do you sense that?”
Several quick-witted cultivators immediately discovered that Lin An had advanced to the ninth stage of the golden core level.
All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at him.
At the same time, a hint of amazement appeared in the eyes of the female cultivators!
“Fellow Daoist, you’re really too strong!” A little girl who was among the sword-wielding cultivators said excitedly.
She had never witnessed such a battle that involved a disciple crushing cultivators who had higher cultivation levels than him.
In the face of the compliments from the sword-wielding cultivators, Lin An only smiled reservedly.
After the fight was over, a few sword control cultivators invited Lin An to their sect as a guest since they were clearly interested in befriending him.
Because he didn’t have any urgent matters to attend to, Lin An followed them to the Chu An city, which was the location of sword-wielding cultivator’s sect.
Along the way, he learned that the sword-wielding cultivators belonged to the Scarlet Cloud Sect.
The Scarlet Cloud Sect had originally been a large faction. However, after the mysterious disappearance of their two sect masters, the sect had gradually declined.
The current sect master was a beautiful woman named Shao Baifeng. She had relied on her outstanding talent to cultivate the nascent soul stage in just over twenty years. Afterward, she had become the sect master.
Shao Baifeng’s parents had died in one of the sect’s battles when she was young. The entire Scarlet Cloud Sect now relied on her and two other nascent soul stage elders for protection. However, they would occasionally be bullied by the other nearby sects.
At the Scarlet Cloud Sect’s mountain gate, many of the houses were shabby, and the shelters looked like they had been in disrepair for a long time.
The entire sect only had fifty cultivators, and their cultivation levels were basically at the foundation establishment stage and the initial stage of the golden core level.
