From Beast Abilities to Sect Grand Master-Chapter 249: Beginning of the Battle

Splatter.

The soft innards of the Flesh Eating Sand Bug couldn’t withstand the slicing waves, and they splattered all over the surroundings.

Lin Fan glanced over at the other two Flesh Eating Sand Bugs.

The illuminated Ember Wolf bit and ripped out the Flesh Eating Sand Bug it was dealing with.

Using its frost fangs, the Frost Fang Ice Tiger froze the hard shell of the Flesh Eating Sand Bug and cracked it like a frozen piece of ice.

It then bit into the innards of the Flesh Eating Sand Bug.

Both dissipated after the Flesh Eating Sand Bugs lay motionless.

A familiar sound erupted in his mind.

Lin Fan used his hands to cover his nose as the innards of the Flesh Eating Sand Bugs had a pungent smell.

They smelled like rotten meat and eggs.

"You... You are..." Lee Xiao’s eyes opened wide as he pointed his finger at Lin Fan and stammered.

Lin Fan’s hammers were unmistakable; this ’Lu Ding’ was Lin Fan in disguise.

Before he could continue, Lin Fan stared at him.

Lee Xiao quickly used his hand to cover his mouth.

There must be a reason he was in disguise, he thought.

He turned to Tai Lan and gestured, putting his finger to his lips.

Telling Tai Lan to keep quiet about it.

Tai Lan just scratched the back of his head and nodded.

He didn’t know what was happening, but keeping quiet had always been his forte.

"Die!"

"There’s one more over there!"

"Help me!"

Lin Fan glanced at the clearing and saw that most of the Flesh Eating Sand Bugs were more or less taken care of.

Five disciples sustained heavy injuries due to the surprise attack.

The other disciples had light bruises and wounds.

Physicians from the Alchemy Peak rushed in and carried the heavily wounded away.

Lin Fan shook his head when he saw Fong being carried away.

Fong’s right leg had a whole chunk of flesh eaten away by the Flesh Eating Sand Bugs.

"It can’t be!" Fong shouted when he saw Lee Xiao’s team intact with all team members alive and well.

"Yes, it is what you see. My team is alive and kicking. Can’t say the same about yours." Lee Xiao nodded and said with a grin.

"Argh!"

When Fong heard the word ’kicking’, he couldn’t take it anymore as the pain from his leg made him cry out in pain.

His face turned red, and his Qi went awry due to his rage.

Cough.

Fong coughed out blood as the unstable Qi ravaged inside him.

"Hurry, bring him back to the medical tent!"

The physician shouted, and the disciples carrying Fong scurried away.

After this skirmish, the next order for them was to advance more conservatively.

Lin Fan’s team was handed a voice-transmitting jade pendant each.

They were tasked to scout ahead while the other vanguard teams followed behind.

"Follow closely and listen to my instructions if you want to stay alive," Lin Fan said as he walked across the clearing.

Lee Xiao and Tai Lan nodded and followed suit.

Ho Ming followed behind them as cover from the back.

...

Tai Mountains.

In Li Rong’s room, there were eleven men and women seated in front of her.

All of them looked peculiar.

One looked like a tiger and another like an ox.

Most looked like beings from the twelve-astrology signs.

They were rowdy and were arguing amongst themselves.

"Is First Rat late as usual?" Third Tiger shouted impatiently.

"He must have been indulging himself with a feast on those peasants again," Second Ox smirked and replied.

"Don’t say that about my buddy! I will kill you right now, I swear!" Six Snake hissed with her forked tongue and stood up.

Li Rong rubbed her temple at the scene.

They were always a rowdy bunch.

Finally, she couldn’t take it anymore and shouted, "Silence!"

She stood up, held up her hand, and with a green glow in her hands, got Six Snake’s spirit halfway out of her body.

Six Snake’s body slumped to the ground helplessly, and Li Rong released Six Snake’s spirit back.

This made the eleven of them shut their mouths and keep quiet.

They had no way to fight against a powerful Ghost Cultivator like Li Rong.

Seeing that it was silent in the room, a disciple in a red robe seized the opportunity, scurried into the room, and knelt in front of Li Rong.

"Lady Saint, I have information about First Rat."

"Go on," Li Rong sat back in her seat and said.

"First Rat had been killed by the Qing Feng Sect. They are advancing towards our location now."

When the remaining Astrology Guards heard what happened to First Rat, they cried out in anger.

Second Ox, who was chastising First Rat, fumed in anger, blowing out hot air from his nose.

An ox horn he had on his neck glowed as his breathing grew heavier with rage.

"Let me go and kill them off!" He stood up and shouted.

"Go alone and be another casualty?" Li Rong shook her head and said.

She proceeded to give out her plan.

"Second to Six, go and deal with them on the foot of Tai Mountain.

"Spread out in two pairs in the area.

"Second Ox and Third Tiger work together as one.

"Fifth Dragon and Six Snake work together in the other pair.

"Fourth Rabbit, use your speed to help, when necessary, among the other two pairs.

"The rest of you, lay in ambush in the mountain."

This was the best she could do as she didn’t want to risk putting the Astrology Guards out.

The Qing Feng Sect might come in with a surprise attack.

So, it would have to be a long-drawn fight, with one party trying to slowly weaken the other party.

"Yes, Lady Saint." The Astrology Guards stood up and quickly got to work.

Second to Six left the room and descended the Tai Mountains.

The rest of the Astrology Guards went and stationed in their ambush area.

Out of an opening in the room, the sun slowly descended and painted the room in a crimson red tint.
