Signing in while in Qian Renxue's arms, becoming the main villain of Douluo Continent.

At that moment, time and space completely froze, and everything around us was frozen in time!
Qin Tiangang, Lin Qingfeng, the three thousand sword servants, and the Thunder Demon Clan all stared wide-eyed and gaped, their faces filled with utter horror. Yet their bodies remained frozen in place, their heartbeats and breathing completely stopped, only their consciousness remained perfectly clear!
The only one who could move freely in this world was Lin Fan. He pointed two fingers directly at the huge, still sword intent, and then the space distorted dramatically. Then, thousands of sword energies burst out from his fingertips, sweeping out like a whirlwind!

Click, click, click!

A sharp clanging and cracking sound rang out. The attack, which combined the strongest battle intent of Lin Qingfeng and the three thousand sword servants, shattered inch by inch under Lin Fan's fingers and collapsed with a bang!

The next second, everyone regained control of their bodies, and extremely rapid breathing echoed. Everyone could feel their hearts pounding in their chests!

In just a single second, they witnessed the most terrifying scene of their lives. The feeling of being conscious but unable to control their bodies was truly horrifying!

When Lin Qingfeng and the three thousand sword servants regained their senses, they were all pale-faced and covered in cold sweat. This was because a sharp sword blade was hanging above each of their heads. It was the sword energy that Lin Fan had split off after shattering the sword blade of battle intent. It completely locked onto each of them, and could take their lives with just a thought!

"What a terrifying sword..."

After regaining his senses, Lin Qingfeng couldn't help but sigh. Although he was a battle formation master, his fighting method was to condense his fighting spirit into sword energy. He believed that he had some attainments in the understanding of swordsmanship.

But after witnessing Lin Fan's Sword Twenty-Three, his so-called pride was shattered, and his understanding of swordsmanship was completely refreshed!

At that moment, Lin Fan seemed to transform into the master of this world. His body itself was an incomparably sharp blade. Imagine how desperate it would be for any enemy to watch helplessly as Lin Fan's attack pierced through their body, unable to put up any resistance or dodge!

This sword strike transcends time and space, and even surpasses the comprehension of mortals; it can be described as the most terrifying sword strike in the world!
"Your fighting spirit at the end was quite impressive, and it brought me a pleasant surprise..."

Lin Fan put his hands behind his back, feigning a profound and inscrutable expression, and slowly began to speak.

"You don't need to put on airs. We have no means of resistance now. Do with us as you please!"

At this point, Lin Qingfeng had completely resigned himself to his fate and had no intention of making any futile resistance.

"You must have put a lot of effort into training these three thousand sword servants, right? It would be a real shame to kill them all..."

Lin Fan pretended to be embarrassed and shrugged.

"Heh... You mean you want us to submit to the Nine Nether Palace too? Do you really think everyone is like that spineless guy Qin Tiangang?"

"Although my three thousand sword servants and I cultivate battle formations, we uphold the way of the sword, which is unyielding and unbreakable. If we were to return to you today, our Dao hearts would surely be damaged, making it difficult for us to make breakthroughs in the future. So, let's make our move!"

Lin Qingfeng actually saw through Lin Fan's plan. He stood up straight, looking like he was going to his death. The people behind him were also fearless, and no one bowed or scraped to Lin Fan.

"Foolish, utterly foolish!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but scoff.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're not highly regarded in the Hundred Battles Domain either. I'm afraid you suffered in the Ten Thousand Swords Valley but dared not speak out, and could only transfer your anger to the Thunder Demon Sect, right?" As soon as Lin Fan said this, Lin Qingfeng's expression immediately turned extremely ugly, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

"As expected, as a branch of the Ten Thousand Swords Valley, it is still a core force of the Hundred Battles Domain. With three thousand sword servants and your expertise in battle formation mastery, you should be given important responsibilities. However, you have been assigned to this remote area. It is truly a case of a pearl being buried in dust."

Seeing the change in Lin Qingfeng's expression, Lin Fan felt even more confident.

As he expected, the humiliation Lin Qingfeng suffered in the Hundred Battle Domain was even worse than he had imagined!
His true identity is actually the son of the Valley Master of Ten Thousand Swords Valley—the Hidden Sword Elder, but he was born to a maid in a moment of impulse.

This matter was known to most people in Wanjian Valley and even the entire Hundred Battles Domain, but no one dared to mention it. The Hidden Sword Elder also regarded it as his shame.

A few years after Lin Qingfeng was born, his mother passed away due to illness. From a young age, Lin Qingfeng suffered discrimination in Wanjian Valley and did not even have a proper title. He could only follow his deceased mother's surname.

But after all, he was related to the Hidden Sword Elder by blood. At first, he could still get some cultivation resources and guidance, but after his legitimate wife gave birth to a son, he was naturally marginalized. Even the servants in the valley didn't pay much attention to him!

In particular, the Valley Master's wife disliked him very much. As the power of Wanjian Valley gradually grew, Lin Qingfeng wanted to prove his strength at all times. He did not want to make a name for himself, but only wanted to reclaim a title for his deceased mother.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. He was transferred by the Hidden Sword Elder from the center of the Hundred Battles Domain to be stationed in the desolate area at the junction of the Hundred Battles Domain and the Great Luo Heaven Domain.

On the surface, they made it sound nice, asking him to lead a group to develop a branch of Wanjian Valley, but in reality, they completely abandoned Lin Qingfeng.

However, Lin Qingfeng was not discouraged. Although cultivation resources were scarce here, he could take full control of his own destiny. He used his own strength to plunder cultivation resources and cultivate three thousand powerful sword servants.

After nearly ten years of biding his time and preparing for battle, Lin Qingfeng was waiting to shine in this Grand Hunting Competition and make those who once looked down on him feel ashamed.

But to his utter surprise, he encountered the freak Lin Fan right at the start of the battle and was defeated without any resistance.

"You don't need to say anything more, we'd rather die than surrender!"

After struggling for a moment, Lin Qingfeng gritted his teeth and refused Lin Fan's invitation, though his tone was not as resolute as before.

"Loyalty is a good thing, but it depends on the person. If you are not valued or even ostracized, being loyal to someone is just foolish and laughable!"

After Lin Fan finished speaking, Qin Tiangang, who knew the inside story, also stepped forward and added fuel to the fire.

"Lin Qingfeng, if I were you, I would have rebelled long ago. As the biological son of the Hidden Sword Elder, his status is actually the same as mine, and he doesn't even receive as many cultivation resources as the Thunder Demon Sect. Is there any need for you to be loyal to him?"

"As long as you follow your master, you can receive endless cultivation resources and guidance, just like me. Moreover, you've already witnessed his strength and talent. Not only in the Tianluo Continent, but throughout the entire Great Thousand World, who can compare? Isn't following him far better than following your irresponsible old man?!" (End of Chapter)
