From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

"Yi Mei Sect disciples! Fight for the sect and for our future!"

Zhao Jia Rui raised her sword as she led her fellow disciples into the open square.

They quickly stood into position and started to surround everyone in and around the fighting ring.

"Thank God. We are safe now."

"Is that the Yi Mei Sword Formation?"

Those running away felt safe when they saw the Yi Mei Sect disciples getting into position.

But they weren't going to stay around and witness the legendary Yi Mei Sword Formation.

Running away and keeping themselves alive was much more important.

Mei Hong was retreating as she tried to fend off Long Yong's punches from his dark arhat.

Boom!

The Qi wave from his punch hit onto the ground and the ground exploded.

Mei Hong was hurled into the air and flew upward.

Plop.

When she landed near Zhao Jia Rui, Mei Hong struggled to stand up.

"Sect master! Someone get her to the back." Zhao Jia Rui said, and she pointed her Yi Mei sword at Long Yong.

The next moment, Long Yong had already lunged at Zhao Jia Rui.

Dang!

Zhao Jia Rui thrust her sword at Long Yong's feet, but the dark arhat blocked it.

Other disciples with their swords then came forward from the back and thrust their swords from behind at the dark arhat.

Their swords glowed and a huge sword shot at the dark arhat.

It was the power of the Yi Mei Sword Formation, able to exponentially increase everyone's Qi inside the formation.

Dang!

The dark arhat of Long Yong blocked the huge sword with its arms.

Boom!

When the huge sword hit onto the dark arhat, it caused an explosion, and the dark arhat flashed transparently a few times before steadying itself into the translucent form again.

"Huh!" Long Yong gave out a roar and emitted a Qi wave.

The Qi wave shot at the Yi Mei disciples standing in their sword formation.

Some of those weaker disciples couldn't withstand the Qi wave and they fell to the ground.

Exposing some of the positions in the Yi Mei Sword formation.

Boom!

The dark arhat punched at Zhao Jia Rui and the Qi wave shot at her.

She held her sword up in front of her to block the Qi wave.

Other disciples standing beside her also held their swords up in front of her.

Their swords glowed and a huge glowing wall appeared in front of Zhao Jia Rui.

Dang!

The Qi wave hit onto the glowing wall.

With some of the disciples not in their position in the sword formation, it weakened the sword formation, and the glowing wall was not strong enough to withstand the Qi wave from Long Yong.

Thud.

Zhao Jia Rui and the other disciples were flung into the air by the Qi wave, and they landed with a loud thud.

"So much for the Yi Mei Sword Formation."

Long Yong smirked and walked towards the Yi Mei disciples who were now lying down and crying out in pain.

All of them were wounded and bleeding profusely from their injuries.

The dark arhat raised its hands, ready to deal out the deadly blow at the Yi Mei disciples.

Zhao Jia Rui spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up.

She gritted her teeth, ignored the pain all over her body and tried to stand up.

Using the Yi Mei sword, she plunged it into the ground as a support to help her get up.

Drip.

Thoughts of her life went through her mind.

How she was taken care of by Mei Shuang and Yi Mei Sect.

And how her life went to a low point when Mei Shuang was murdered by the Dark Lord.

After that, life was never the same for her again.

There were so many things she wanted to say.

If only there was someone to hear her.

Someone to help her.

She closed one of her eyes as the blood flowed into it, blurring her vision.

Taking a deep breath, and directing her Qi to the sword, she thrust it at Long Yong.

She could see Long Yong's dark arhat's fist pounding down at her.

Then she saw a mist passing through Long Yong and stopping in front of her.

Lin Fan appeared and grabbed onto her waist.

She saw the clouds passing by with Lin Fan looking down at her.

"Let me handle him," Lin Fan said as he put her down onto the ground.

He passed her a Heavenly Rejuvenate pill and turned towards Long Yong.

....

"Old man. Don't you need some tender love and care?" Jade Face Lin said as she dodged the twirling wind strike coming at her.

Qing Yang Zi didn't bother with her, and the next moment he held the sword in front of his face.

Zhao Qing Ying narrowed his eyes as he saw the stance.

Could it be the last stroke of the Qing Feng Sword Style? The Thousand Wind Blades?

Had Qing Yang Zi mastered it after his secluded cultivation?

It didn't take long for him to get his answer.

Wind swirled around Qing Yang Zi and then it swirled around the blades of the Qing Feng Sword.

Slice.

Qing Yang Zi slashed his sword at Jade Face Lin, and it unleashed a thousand slicing waves at Jade Face Lin.

Splatter.

The slicing waves came from all directions and it was impossible for Jade Face Lin to dodge them.

Her clothes and skin suffered cuts all over and it didn't stop.

The slicing waves lasted for half an incense time.

When the wind died down, Jade Face Lin knelt on the ground.

Her clothes were now soaked in crimson.

A huge puddle of blood was on the ground beneath her.

She looked up and smirked.

Then she spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Didn't know you were into this type of play?"

Qing Yang Zi didn't bother with her taunts, and he raised the Qing Feng sword and got ready for the final blow.

Her eyes glowed red and Qing Yang Zi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He turned and faced Zhao Qing Ying instead.
