Chapter 180: Pressure: Part 1
Clang .
The moment Lin Sheng touched the metal gate, the entire gate fell backwards and crashed against the ground, kicking up a storm of dust .
A loud clang rang out as the rusted metal knocked against the stone paving .
Lin Sheng quickly went into alert, ready to fend off any danger that might pop out .
He had not forgotten the encounter with the massive serpentine monster the first time he arrived here . Plus his memories told him then there are level ten elite commanders here .
“If only I can summon Khadula here, then I won’t be so gimped…”
Lin Sheng lamented, and noticed there were no movement around him after a short while . Only then did he picked up his sword and walked towards the main door of the guildhall .
The inside of the guild was a school field-like empty ground . At the center of the field was a flag pole, the flag was so torn that it was drooping down lifelessly . The emblem on it long illegible .
Lin Sheng walked through the side of the pole and slowly made his way inside .
The guildhall was large and Lin Sheng took a good ten odd minutes to circle the entire place .
As the only warrior’s guild in Blackfeather City . This building has a revered position in the memories of the many Blackfeather swordsmen Lin Sheng had absorbed .
And the main guild building was the massive house that looked like a bull’s head .
Lin Sheng circled around the building before finally stopping before the building’s main door . As he looked up he saw many engravings of minatours, dragonkin and human warriors killing each other .
It was a very detailed and intricate engraving that carried a certain brutality to it .
Lin Sheng did not say anything as he slowly made his way up the stairs and gently pushed the door .

Rumble…
A tiny rumble later, the main door was pushed open, as the interior was revealed .
Behind the door was a long and dark hall . The hall looked like an underground croft with crimson braziers lighting the place on both sides .
The floor was made out of black stones with crude patterns on it while the ceiling above it formed into a pyramid that had an azure diamond-shaped gemstone embedded into it . A faint, ethereal blue light shone from the gemstone and casted a veil upon the throne at the end of the hall .
The throne was empty, without any beings on it .
“This is…” Lin Sheng looked at the burning braziers and felt something was not right .
But he did came here looking for trouble .
As he took up his sword, Lin Sheng stepped into the hall . And barely two steps in…
Crack…crack…
A six foot tall figure suddenly appeared slowly from the stone pillar by the left .
The figure was glad in dark armor with a bull horn helm, its eyes bleeding crimson glow .
BAM BAM BAM…
Step by step, it made its way towards Lin Sheng, and it was gaining momentum as the twin axe spun in its hands .
CRASH!!

Lin Sheng swung out to parry the axe attack, and without breaking a sweat, batted the monster aside .
“Its strength as about level two . No different than the Vault Wardens . ”
He measured a little before grabbing his sword with both hands and sent out a horizontal slash .
The heavy blade suddenly exploded with extreme force and smashed against the parrying axes, sending sparks flying .
The monster was pushed back at least half a dozen steps before managing to steady itself .
But before it could recover, a heavy blade pierced through its chest and pinned it against the stone pillar behind it with a thunderous crash .
“And just like the Vault Wardens, they are not valuable, only useful as meat shields . ”
Lin Sheng grabbed the sword and pulled it out .
Hiss…
Dark flames spat out of from the monster’s chest, as the flame rapidly lit the monster up and reduced it, flesh and armor all into a pile of blackened ash .
The moment the mysterious flames appeared, Lin Sheng took a step back, and frowned .
He dared not approach the flames as the holy power within screamed danger when the flames appeared .
“Its capabilities are standard, but there’s this self-destructive dark flame within it . ” Lin Sheng put that to memory .
And soon, strands of black lines appeared from the ashes and flew towards Lin Sheng and into his body .

Scenes of a warrior practicing his axe techniques entered his mind .
“Basic axe techniques? These are not important…what’s important are stuff that could tell me things . ” Lin Sheng frowned as he searched the soul fragments .
As he cannot bring anything out of the dream, the only things that will aid him were knowledge of spellcasting or rituals, or pure energies .
But regrettably, the memories of this monster was not much . It was not someone of high position in its previous life . As a mere guard, it could never hope to come into contact with any high level knowledge .
After obtaining the basic axe techniques, Lin Sheng picked up one of the axes and swung it about, and felt proficient with it .
As he held his sword in one hand and the axe in another, he made his way deeper into the hall .
On the left side of the hall, there was an opened side door amid the darkness .
The warrior with the bull-horn helmet probably came out from there .
Lin Sheng then made his way towards the door, and just as he got close, another group of bull-horned warriors appeared from the door .
The bull-horned warriors all had short axes in their hands as they walked out in a line, detecting Lin Sheng who was standing in the hall at first glance .
Without any roars or shouts, the five bull-horn warriors raised their weapons and attacked .
Lin Sheng was of course no longer the newbie from last time, and with a step back, and to the side, he dodged the attack of the first warrior as his own blade sang .
UFF!
The warrior was cleaved from his thigh to his head as dark flames spat out and burnt it into ashes .
Lin Sheng continued his motion as he turned the blade into a downward slash, and cut the second warrior’s neck open .
With a turn, the sword still in motion, the blade smacked away the three incoming axes with a thunderous clash .
BAM BAM BAM!!
Three clashes later, Lin Sheng’s blade spun as he charged forward and into the middle of the warriors’ formation .
A few seconds later, three of them had gaping wounds over all over their bodies as dark flames spew out of it, and turned them into ashes .
Lin Sheng stood where he stand, as he looked at five black lines taking shape and flew into his body .
“Six . So I need another forty-four to level up…”
He picked up the slightly blunted blade and swapped over to the other edge as he walked into the side door .
Inside there were groups of congregating bull-horned warriors . Within that small side hall, at least thirty bull-horned warriors had gathered there .
Without any words, the monsters charged at Lin Sheng with their axes raised .
Two bright red glows appeared from the slits in their helmets in the dark, as if some sort of killer instinct had been activated within them .
Lin Sheng endured the shock from absorbing the memories earlier as he maintained his half-dragonic form and charged into them .
He immediately used his full force with his blade, and tore into the chest of two bull-horned warriors in front of him . But that was the end of it .
