Chapter 613: My Ranking Is Higher Than Senior Brother's

Others couldn't see Lin Fan's prowess, but Liu Hen, who had crossed blows with him, felt it.

"Such a sharp sword intent."

Liu Hen hadn't expected this human to be so strong; a single finger, carrying the weight of a thousand jun, its edge cutting through everything, had blocked his palm strike.

But even so, what of it? Today, he would surely slay this human here.

Although Lin Fan was currently at the Divine Heaven Fourth Layer Undying Realm, his mana was vast, like an ocean.

Even in a contest with Liu Hen, he was not far behind.

Lin Fan hid his left hand behind his back, pondering whether to knock him out with a brick.

Or use 'Big Bro' to turn him into a perverted maniac of Cloud Sect.

Lin Fan flickered repeatedly, slashing horizontally through the air. The Doom Deity howled forth, carrying the power of doom, and struck toward Liu Hen.

"This human is actually a match for Liu Hen? That's utterly unbelievable!" Some disciples nearby stared in shock at the scene before them.

They realized that this human was evenly matched with Liu Hen.

With such strength, he indeed had the capital to challenge the senior brother.

Lin Fan had devoured books in the library, comprehending many things he had never understood before.

And all the techniques he knew had been greatly enhanced.

Thus, every move he made shook heaven and earth, extraordinary in effect. Even if Liu Hen's realm was higher than Lin Fan's, so what?

However, the one thing that troubled Lin Fan was that the rules Liu Hen had comprehended were somewhat tricky.

It seemed that suppressing Liu Hen through sheer strength was basically impossible, so he would have to take a treacherous path.

"Hmph, Liu Hen, you're nothing special. Even if my cultivation is lower than yours, so what? You're a flower in a greenhouse, knowing only comfort and ease." Lin Fan now began to expound on the truths of life.

"You're asking for death." Liu Hen's face darkened. He hadn't expected this human to be so strong; for a moment, he couldn't overpower him.

Lin Fan flickered around Liu Hen, each palm, fist, and sword strike imbued with supreme meaning. Every attack summoned the spirit of the technique, blasting forth.

"Senior brother? You're worthy of being called senior brother by the other disciples? This cave heaven was built by your founding ancestor to give you a good place to rest and then fight against the ancient clans. But you, as senior brother, have built Qintian Peak so luxuriously that even the sect master's hall can't compare to it."

"Look at these disciples. Why did they join the sect to learn martial arts? Naturally, to slay ancient clans and protect their families. But you've been rallying them just to fulfill your selfish desire of becoming sect master."

Lin Fan knew nothing about Liu Hen's life, but basically, every sect was the same.

And seeing the extravagant style of Qintian Peak, Lin Fan could guess as much.

But surprisingly, Lin Fan's random ramblings hit the mark.

The surrounding disciples, hearing these words, also changed expressions.

They suddenly remembered: why had they joined the sect?

First, to save their lives; second, to learn martial arts and slay ancient clans.

But through various experiences, they suddenly realized their hearts had changed.

Some even had the thought of staying in Cloud Sect forever, since it was safe here and they had no worries.

"Nonsense! I'll surely cut you down today!" Liu Hen hadn't expected this human to hit on his inner thoughts, and he roared in fury.

"What, hit a nerve? Enraged into shame? Fine, let me see your ranking on the wanted list."

"Hmph, Divine Heaven Sixth Layer Law Realm, yet your ranking on the wanted list is outside the top three hundred thousand? Aren't you ashamed?"

"I'm only at Divine Heaven Fourth Layer Undying Realm, but my ranking on the wanted list leaves you in the dust by dozens of streets."

…

The surrounding disciples, hearing this, were startled. The senior brother had high cultivation but rarely left the sect to slay ancient clans, so his ranking on the wanted list wasn't high.

But hearing this human claim his own ranking was high, they grew curious, wondering just how high it was.

Then the surrounding disciples checked the wanted list.

And at that moment, a disciple who had checked the list suddenly gasped.

"What? This human is actually ranked two hundredth on the wanted list!"

At these words, everyone was dumbfounded. Disciples who hadn't checked the list also began to look.

When they clicked on Lin Fan's name, they were stunned by the blood-red number.

Just how many ancient clans had he killed?

"Two hundredth?"

Lin Fan was taken aback by the ranking. He hadn't expected his rank to climb again.

It seemed that the ancient clan army he had tricked to their deaths had sent his ranking soaring like a rocket.

This wanted list was something concocted by the will of the Ancient Saint Realm.

Although those ancient clan armies weren't killed by his own hand, they had died because of his schemes.

It seemed the will of the Ancient Saint Realm had credited them all to him.

"Hear that? Now look at your own ranking. Still have the nerve to call yourself the senior brother of Cloud Sect? I think you've indulged in pleasure. If the ancient clans attack Cloud Sect, you'll surely be the first to flee."

Lin Fan was actually quite eloquent; he could talk black into white.

Liu Hen, though not great, wasn't as despicable as Lin Fan made him out to be.

"Shut up! How dare you slander me!" Liu Hen's expression grew increasingly ugly, his face turning pale with anger.

"Slander or not, it's in people's hearts. Look at these disciples. Though their cultivation isn't as high as yours, they don't vie for any position. Their only thought is to slay ancient clans and save the myriad races. Tell me, isn't that what you're like?" Lin Fan dodged Liu Hen's lethal strike and shouted to the surrounding disciples.

The surrounding disciples' expressions shifted slightly. Hearing these words, they didn't want to refute them.

Of course, that's exactly what they were like!

Though this human was at odds with the senior brother, his words rang true, voicing the thoughts in their hearts.

"Yes! I joined Cloud Sect to improve my cultivation, then slay ancient clans and save the myriad races!"

A disciple roared, his neck turning red.

"That's right! We came to Cloud Sect so that the myriad races wouldn't be oppressed by the ancient clans!"

"Me too! Though my cultivation is only at Divine Heaven Second Layer Domain Realm, I've killed countless ancient clans. My ranking on the wanted list is 230,000th. I'm higher than the senior brother!"

"My ranking is 280,000th. I'm also higher than the senior brother!"

"I'm higher than the senior brother too!"

The surrounding disciples checked the wanted list and then roared with pride.

In their eyes, having a higher ranking than the senior brother was a point of pride.

The Cloud Sect Master, hearing his disciples' blood-stirring words, nodded with satisfaction.

But the current situation seemed a bit off.

"Liu Hen, look. These disciples you've never taken seriously have far greater achievements in slaying ancient clans than you. Aren't you ashamed?"

"But then again, I'm two stages below you in cultivation, yet you can't kill me. Seems you're a flower in a greenhouse—all show and no go."

Pfft!

At this moment, to Lin Fan's surprise, Liu Hen actually spat blood from his words.

…
