Lord Jin didn't hesitate at all, flying out the moment he took that step.

He quickly flew through the air in Lin Fan's direction, but Lin Fan just watched as he came over. He didn't even put up his guard at all.

The three young geniuses were worried when they saw this and wanted to come forward to help, but the aura that they faced coming from Lord Jin made them unable to move at all.

But Lord Jin didn't plan on attacking just yet, which he made it quite clear from his lack of hostility. Lord Jin flew through the air and landed right in front of Lin Fan.

He was clearly much taller than Lin Fan, so he had to look down on him, but there definitely wasn't a single trace of disdain in his eyes. All that he had in his eyes was respect for his opponent.

Reaching out his hand, he waited for Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at it for a second before reaching out his hand to shake Lord Jin's hand.

It was a simple handshake, a recognition of an equal.

After a single shake, both of them suddenly reared back with their free fist before sending out a punch at the other person's face. Both of their fists landed on the other person's face and both of them had been sent flying.

Lord Jin was able to stabilize himself after sliding back a few meters, but Lin Fan had been knocked off his feet, sliding to a halt on his back.

In the end, Lord Jin was a Soul Realm Expert while Lin Fan was still in the Platinum Realm. That wasn't mentioning the fact that Lord Jin was a mutated beast.

Beasts by nature had stronger physiques compared to humans, so they had more natural physical strength. Even with Lin Fan's physique that was much stronger than his realm of cultivation, it still wasn't enough to match that of a beast's.

But this had only been a strike meant as a greeting, neither side had used any life energy in this strike.

Lord Jin was surprised to see how strong Lin Fan's physique was. Even though he was clearly only in the mid Platinum Realm, he had been able to almost match him in terms of physical strength.

Lin Fan jumped up and patted himself off after landing, then he turned back to look at Lord Jin.

During this exchange, there had been others who hadn't been waiting.

Lord Yin had disappeared into a pool of darkness the moment both of them had punched each other, reappearing in a pool that was right beside the three young geniuses.

The three young geniuses naturally knew that they didn't have a place in this fight. For them to even survive, it would take a miracle.

The three of them had been in a circle with their backs facing each other and their weapons raised, prepared to deal with anything that happened. Even if they couldn't be involved in this fight, they still believed that they would be able to keep their lives if someone did attack them. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

The one that Lord Yin appeared in front of was the weakest one of the batch, the short haired girl.

The short haired girl was taken aback slightly by this, but her instincts immediately kicked in.

As a genius, naturally she had faced the threat of death before. She had to work hard to reach her current realm of cultivation and death was a part of that, even though she had her family to protect her most of the time.

Her sword slashed down at Lord Yin, but Lord Yin had a dagger in his hand which he also used to stab at her chest.

The dagger cut right through her sword like a hot knife through butter even though what she was wielding was a Platinum Realm Artifact. None of that mattered as the dagger approached her chest.

When the life of the short haired girl flashed in front of her eyes and the dagger was about to pierce her, Lord Yin suddenly pulled back his weapon.

He had sensed that something dangerous was approaching him and he quickly turned to see a blade of wind right in front of his face.

Without any hesitation, he gathered all his life energy to use his shadow laws to make himself invincible.

The blade of wind passed right through him and landed on the ground behind him. The moment the blade of wind passed, he phased back into reality and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

Without any hesitation, Lord Yin activated his pool of darkness again to teleport back to the throne to gather himself.

He had known that this girl was powerful, she had even been able to face the formation in the hundred man spar which was at the level of the Primary Soul Realm. To even have a chance against that formation, it meant that her attacks had to be at the level of the peak Primary Soul Realm.

Knowing this, he had also prepared a trump card, which he had used just now. It was a shadow law bead which helped increase the power of his laws, allowing him to reach the peak Primary Soul Realm.

Even if her attack was at the level of the peak of the Primary Soul Realm, his shadow laws would have allowed him to avoid this. However, the moment he had been hit, he hadn't been able to maintain this and had been seriously injured.

This blade of wind wasn't in the Primary Soul Realm, it was at least in the low Fragmented Soul Realm!

This meant that she was much more than what he could deal with, but it was a good thing that Lord Jin was a mutated beast in the mid Fragmented Soul Realm. All that meant was that he had to stall her for now and not let her work with Lin Fan.

Once Lord Jin finished off Lin Fan, he would have time to take care of Angela.

Thinking this through, Lord Yin called out, "Yin Zi, come out here."

There was a figure that stepped out from behind the throne and it was revealed to be Yin Zi, the assassin traitor who had been taken away by Lord Yin.

Yin Zi had a hesitant look on her face as she said, "Lord Yin, do I really have to do this?"

Lord Yin glared at her before saying, "The Beast Clan will compensate you for this once this mission is over, what are you hesitating for?"

Yin Zi gave a sigh before taking out a dagger that was covered in darkness, "Alright."

…

On the other side, the battle between Lin Fan and Lord Jin was getting heated up.

After both of them separated from the initial attack and stabilized themselves, they looked at each other while drawing their weapons.

Lord Yin brought his palms together before turning them ninety degrees in opposite directions, causing them to be facing different directions. Then he pulled them apart from each other, forming a straight translucent area of space that seemed to be congealed. Once his hand had moved far away enough from each other, his right hand suddenly grabbed that space and he turned it to form a sword that was formed completely of spatial laws.

Spatial laws fell under the categorization of an Abnormal Law, which meant that it didn't follow the three normal routes of cultivation, while at the same time utilizing parts of each. Abnormals used their laws in ways that suited their style of fighting, so there were many different ways for Abnormal Laws to be used.

Lord Jin seemed to prefer using the weapon route of cultivation based on the sword of spatial law that he had just formed.

This blade of spatial laws wasn't a normal blade, it was one that cut on the molecular level. It severed through space itself and created pure void, which made it much sharper than any weapon in the world. But that was of course limited to the user's level of cultivation.

Lin Fan drew his own Iron Eater Bone Artifact and transformed it into his familiar zweihander.

Lin Fan knew that this wouldn't be an easy fight, so he gathered all three of his laws around his sword and prepared for the worse.

Lord Jin had given Lin Fan time to prepare and seeing him pull his weapon, he no longer waited. Lord Jin immediately charged forward and slashed down at Lin Fan with his spatial law blade.

Lin Fan saw this and slashed upwards with his own blade, preparing to meet Lord Jin's downward slash. He was planning on pushing it back before quickly turning his blade to slash down on Lord Jin, but that didn't work.

The moment their two blades clashed, neither sword could move as they were evenly matched.

They just stood there with their blades touching, looking at each other.

After a few seconds, Lin Fan could feel the pressure that was coming down on him, so he knew that he wouldn't be able to hold it any longer.

Knowing that was the case, Lin Fan gathered his strength and prepared to force his way up to knock back Lord Jin's spatial law blade, giving him space to pull back. But the moment he used his strength to push up, the downward force that was balancing his blade had suddenly disappeared and his blade flew up.

Lord Jin had disappeared from in front of him, but his spiritual sense quickly flared up from behind him.

Lin Fan could see from the corner of his eyes that Lord Jin was already behind him slashing horizontally at his neck.
