From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master

Meanwhile, those menial disciples who ran away went calling for help.

Most of them went over to the Alchemy Peak to seek help with their injuries.

The senior menial disciples who were there treated them and asked what had happened.

When the senior menial disciples heard about the situation, they reported upward to Tan Fei.

"Senior martial brother, there's someone who hid in the grocery supplies and bypassed the security checks. He is going on a killing rampage right now."

"And...," Tan Fei said as he put his freshly brewed cup of tea to his nose and smelled it, giving it an approving nod.

"Should we send someone to help subdue him?"

Tan Fei blew at his teacup, took a small sip of the tea, and said, "What's the hurry? It's only those lowly menial disciples being killed. Let the brutes at Physiques Peak and the swordsmen at Sword Peak handle it."

"Yes... senior master brother."

The same thing repeated itself at the Sword, Artifact, and Formation peaks; they were not in a hurry to send help.

Zhao Rui had been on a mission with Ho Ming and the Bai brothers.

If not, she would've led them over straightaway.

However, it wasn't as dire over at the Physique Peak.

"What do you mean 'bypassed security'?" Zhang Xi was furious when she heard it.

"No time to find out; we better hurry and go take care of the intruder."

Sun Hai reminded Zhang Xi of what was more important, and they immediately headed straight to the menial disciple quarters.

...

Master Tan charging up his hand with Qi created a small stir of wind.

The veins on the muscular hand popped and seemed to move as Qi accumulated in it.

When the size of the muscular hand had gotten twice as big, Master Tan jeered and said, "Hehe... Now die!"

Before Master Tan made his move, someone used the twirling wind stroke and aimed at the tentacles.

Snap.

The tentacles broke free when they got into contact with the twirling wind.

Ho Jie!

With a sword in his hand, he'd helped Lin Fan break free.

Wasting no time, Lin Fan leaped over to Ho Jie's side.

Now they were twenty meters away from Master Tan.

"Here, your hammers," Ho Jie untied the cloth strapped across his chest and back.

He opened it and threw the pair of hammers inside the cloth, passing them over to Lin Fan.

Seeing that Ho Jie was able to carry his pair of hammers, Lin Fan suspected Ho Jie was more powerful than he'd given away.

Core Formation level or maybe even Nascent Soul level?

A huge gust of wind snapped Lin Fan out of his thoughts.

Master Tan appeared in front of him and, with his muscular hand, punched at Lin Fan's face.

Lin Fan injected Qi into his pair of hammers, and they became twice the size, blocking Lin Fan's face from the attack in the nick of time.

Dang!

The sound of the hammers hitting something hard reverberated.

Master Tan's muscular hand was now mangled from the impact.

However, the broken fingers twitched; slowly the flesh, bones, and tissues repaired themselves, and it was as good as new.

Lin Fan didn't want to give Master Tan any breather, so with his hammer, Lin Fan immediately rained down blow after blow at Master Tan.

Master Tan raised his muscular hand and blocked.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

First, the skin on the hand turned red, bruised by the impact of the hammer.

Slowly the skin broke, and it split open.

Lastly, the bone and flesh got squashed by the blows from the hammers.

Master Tan, with his muscular hand slowly turning into a pulp of meat and bones, summoned his tentacles and snapped at Lin Fan.

Ho Jie immediately helped Lin Fan with his sword and slashed at the tentacles.

He successfully cut the tentacles down with his sword infused with Qi.

"Get away!"

Master Tan shouted as he couldn't take it anymore and did a front kick at Lin Fan's stomach.

Dang.

Lin Fan had to stop his blows and blocked the kick with his hammer.

With his other leg, Master Tan jumped up and kicked at Lin Fan's hammer.

The opposite reaction of his force allowed Master Tan to jump back and get away.

"Hehe... You sure did surprise me, but it's not over yet."

Master Tan looked at his muscular hand, now deformed with his skin, flesh, and bones mangled in a mixture, causing it to dangle from the shoulder.

"Har..."

He started to give out a long breath.

Blood on the ground and from the dead bodies rose up into the air.

All of it then went into the mangled mess of skin, flesh, and bones on Master Tan's shoulder.

The mangled mess slowly straightened itself, with the bones being regenerated and giving it structure.

Flesh enveloped the bones again, and the skin appearing out of nowhere covered the flesh in turn.

The hand was back to its former state, as if nothing had happened to it.

Lin Fan saw what happened and looked at the pair of hammers in his hand.

His brain went into overdrive, thinking about a way out of this.

Finally, an idea struck him.

"Ho Jie, you help me take care of his muscular hand. Be careful; he can punch the ground with his hand and cause an explosion," Lin Fan glanced at Ho Jie and said.

"Ready when you are."

Ho Jie gripped his sword tightly, preparing himself for the strike.

After taking a deep breath, Lin Fan glanced at Ho Jie, nodded, and gave the signal to attack.

Ho Jie ran at the muscular hand on the right, aimed at it, and thrust his sword five times with the twirling wind stroke.

On the left side, Lin Fan wielded his hammer at Master Tan's waist.

All the tentacles snapped at him while the muscular hand blocked Ho Jie's attack.

Lin Fan swiped at the tentacles with both of his hammers, splattering the tentacles away as the hammer was injected with Qi.

With his left hammer, Lin Fan swiped at Master Tan's left leg.

Master Tan lifted his left leg, and without warning, Lin Fan's right hammer came at Master Tan's head.

The Beheading Cloud strike.
