Chapter 303: All of You, Come at Once

Having made his decision, Lin Xiao no longer hesitated. He stomped down hard, his body shooting forward in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of an elite disciple, fingers curling like hooks as he reached for the disciple’s neck.

The disciple had long been on high alert. Seeing that Lin Xiao had chosen him, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes. Both hands shot forward, aiming to grab Lin Xiao’s arm.

He knew Lin Xiao had immense strength—one hand alone would not be enough to stop him. So he attacked with both hands. He planned to seize Lin Xiao’s arm and create an opening for the others to strike.

This elite disciple had trained extensively in Eagle Claw Technique. When fully exerted, his fingernails turned dark green, capable of piercing even cowhide. However, before his hands could even touch Lin Xiao’s wrist, Lin Xiao’s fingers had already clamped around his throat.

Lin Xiao tightened his grip, lifted the disciple off the ground, and swung him sideways, sending another charging disciple flying. Then, he raised his foot and kicked the disciple squarely in the chest.

The disciple’s ribs shattered under Lin Xiao’s kick.

Letting out a miserable scream, he flew seven or eight meters before crashing onto the ground, unable to get up again.

“Now’s our chance!”

As Lin Xiao sent the elite disciple flying, four figures lunged at him from different angles, aiming at his head, back, abdomen, and chest.

Lin Xiao’s body flickered. He moved like a ghost, easily dodging the four-pronged attack. Without pause, he swung his palm sideways, slamming it into a disciple’s chest.

The disciple was sent flying like he had been struck by a speeding car. His body crashed backward, knocking over several others behind him. A deep palm imprint appeared on his chest, and he couldn’t stop himself from coughing up blood.

Lin Xiao had not even used his inner strength, relying only on pure physical strength.

Yet, with his overwhelming combat skills and terrifying power, these disciples were not even worth a single exchange against him.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

One after another, disciples were sent flying. Some with broken arms, some with fractured legs, some with chests caved in from heavy blows—none of them could get back up.

With every strike Lin Xiao made, another disciple was taken out. His movements were so swift and elusive that all their attacks completely missed.

In just half a minute, more than a dozen disciples lay sprawled across the martial hall floor.

The longer the Golden Claw Sect disciples fought, the more shocked and fearful they became.

At last, they understood why even a figure as strong as Senior Uncle Duan had been defeated by this man.

“This level of combat skill… It’s been tempered through countless battles! I always thought I was strong, but compared to him, the difference is immeasurable!”

An elite disciple was sent flying by Lin Xiao. Even as his ribs shattered, he forced his eyes open, watching Lin Xiao move freely through the battlefield, screaming in his heart.

“No! I’m not his match at all! Going up is just suicide! Against someone this strong, numbers mean nothing!”

A disciple quietly backed away.

“Why haven’t Senior Uncle and the Sect Master stepped in yet? Are they afraid too?”

Another disciple pretended to attack Lin Xiao while constantly glancing toward the grand hall.

Lin Xiao paid no attention to what the Golden Claw Sect disciples were thinking. He had only one goal—defeat every last disciple, then storm the hall and crush everyone inside, including the Sect Master.

Crack!

Lin Xiao twisted a disciple’s arm. He snapped it in two before kicking him aside. Just as he was about to charge at another, he suddenly realized no one was standing around him.

All around him, over twenty Golden Claw Sect disciples lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain. Their eyes, filled with terror, looked at Lin Xiao as if he weren’t human, but a demon. There were still more than a dozen disciples unscathed, but they had all backed away to the farthest corners of the hall, not daring to take another step forward.

Among them were the three elite disciples who had first attacked Lin Xiao.

Duan Fei hid behind a pillar, his face pale. His body trembled violently. He prayed that Lin Xiao wouldn’t notice him. He had already been utterly terrified by him.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The crisp sound of applause suddenly rang through the hall.

Two figures walked side by side from the grand hall at the back of the martial hall.

“Impressive. Truly impressive.”

One of them, a tall, slender man with abnormally long arms, clapped as he spoke.

“No wonder you dared to come here alone. Now, I finally believe that Senior Brother Duan lost to you.”

Beside him, a pale-skinned man sneered sinisterly.

“But no matter how strong you are, today, you will die here. The strength of the Golden Claw Sect is far beyond your imagination. These disciples were nothing more than appetizers for you.”

“That’s right. Don’t think that just because you defeated some disciples, you can do whatever you please.”

Behind them, another broad-shouldered, towering man stepped forward, standing like an iron tower.

“We held back to see your abilities, and now, we admit, you do qualify for us to make a move.”

Behind this man, two more figures emerged, one of them Duan Changhan.

The five men stood shoulder to shoulder at the grand hall’s entrance, looking down at Lin Xiao.

Duan Changhan’s sinister gaze locked onto Lin Xiao, the corner of his lips curling into a cold smile as if declaring his doom.

Lin Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the five figures stepping out. His face remained calm. But deep inside, he was somewhat surprised. The Golden Claw Sect was indeed formidable.

These five men were all ancient martial artists at the Dark Force stage. Though Lin Xiao couldn’t gauge their exact strength, just having five Dark Force masters was already a force to be reckoned with.

No wonder the Golden Claw Sect looked down on the Chen’s Martial Arts Hall.

Compared to the Chen Family, which had no Dark Force masters at all, the Golden Claw Sect was an unshakable giant.

And this wasn’t even counting their Sect Master, whose strength remained unknown.

However, despite his unexpected findings, Lin Xiao felt no pressure at all.

His fighting spirit burned even stronger.

This was the battle he wanted. Only through relentless combat could he refine his techniques and grow stronger.

“So, these five are the true experts of the Golden Claw Sect?”

Lin Xiao took a step forward.

The disciples in his way scrambled aside, rolling and crawling away in fear.

“Isn’t there also a Sect Master? Why hasn’t he shown up?”

“Hah! You?” The tall, slender man sneered, his voice dripping with murderous intent.

“You’re not even qualified to make our Master appear. The fact that the five of us are here already means you should feel honored.”

Lin Xiao’s gaze swept across the five of them. Raising an eyebrow, he said casually:

“I don’t have time to waste. You five, come at me together.”

“Hahahahaha!”

The five men exchanged glances before bursting into laughter, even the usually grim Duan Changhan was no exception.

“I’ve seen plenty of arrogant people in my life, but none as arrogant as you.”

The youngest of the five stepped forward.

“Let me test him first.”

With that, he leaped forward like an eagle, crossing five meters in a flash and landing squarely in front of Lin Xiao.

“Fan Changlin. That’s my name.” He grinned viciously. “Remember it well, so when you meet the King of Hell, you can tell him who sent you.”
