Thousand Wood Life

Lin Fan smiled and shot out a bright beam of light before three copies of him appeared around Xi Lang. It was the upgraded version of [Light Scout] that he'd managed to gain insight from during his battle with the Sacred Ring of Assassins.

Xi Lang scoffed as hundreds of wooden hands appeared out of his back from thin vines. The technique was called [Thousand Wood Life]. It instantaneously increased the confidence on Xi Lang's face as he gained access to one thousand different replies to Lin Fan's every move.

Lin Fan's three light scouts compared to his endless paths of options was like a small wave trying to attack an ocean. The good thing about [Thousand Wood Life] was it temporarily increased his perception as the roots connected with his spinal cord. It was like he had a thousand extra limbs that each had extra senses to help him track Lin Fan's moves.

He struck forward towards Lin Fan with a hundred quick slashes as the [Light Scouts] dodged the attacks by spinning away. One got hit square in the jaw and went flying towards the wall as two new [Light Scouts] appeared behind Xi Lang's back.

He scoffed and turned around and caused a large branch to shoot out of his arm. It burst into the [Light Scouts] chest as Lin Fan clapped and walked over towards.

"Congratulations, you just beat five of me at twenty percent of my power. You want me to make it a little bit harder and use the real one?"

"You stand no chance," Xi Lang said as he wiped blood from the side of his mouth. He was beginning to get tired from using [Thousand Wood Life]. "Just leave and consider it a gift from me,"

"I killed them already," Chen Long yawned and walked over to Lin Fan and tossed him ten storage rings. "I'll go ahead and check further down in the tunnel. I'm assuming there shouldn't be too many more people like Xi Lang there or they would have sensed you already."

"Wait, I want you to watch," Lin Fan stepped off his back foot as he smiled and activated the law of space and the law of fire and the law of lightning at the same time. "I want to see if he is as strong as I think."

Lin Fan burst forward and arrived instantaneously in front of Xi Lang as his eyes burst open as all thousand of his arms crossed in front of Lin Fan. They all crossed and created a sort of basket as Lin Fan pushed off his back foot and punched with all his strength.

His full strength punch contained all the [god origin sap] that he had stored up inside of him. A golden liquid moved in his bones and spread across his body as a small golden light appeared out of his fist.

That fist went straight into the hundreds of hands in front of Xi Lang causing it to crack and burst out in various directions. One after the other, arm after arm, began to burst out shards as Lin Fan's hand moved further towards Xi Lang's heart.

He could only look down in fear as his last hand was destroyed as Lin Fan's hand landed right in front of his chest.

His hand opened out and one finger pushed into Xi Lang's chest before a large bang spread through the space. The attack was so fast that the sound couldn't be heard until well after Xi Lang had seen what happened.

"My finger is within an inch of your heart," Lin Fan activated the law of wood and sent roots spiraling out of his finger, "If you want to live, tell me something good in the next ten seconds."

"Kill me. I can't," Xi Lang sighed as he closed his eyes, "If I knew you completed one hundred bone augmentations, I probably would've suggested we surrender."

"Sorry, I can't let you live," Lin Fan patted him on the shoulder with his other hand before the twines broke the heart inside of his chest. "I'll bury you with your loved ones in hundreds of years. You were a good opponent."

"Thank you," Xi Lang felt the vines travel all throughout his body before he dropped to the floor, "You-you're a bastard, but a good one."

"Well, that was quick," Chen Long sighed and pointed at the tunnel. "Shall we clean up the rest of the troops down here. It's a little bit too dark in that tunnel."
