Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God Chapter 1277 - 1276: Treasure

The quick blade of Triangular Eyes was even something Lin Fan couldn’t take lightly. In terms of speed, Lin Fan was at a disadvantage, so he had to quickly end this passive situation.

Seeing Triangular Eyes’ blade coming down, Lin Fan couldn’t avoid it. Lin Fan stepped down with his foot on the hilt of a knife on the ground, which had been dropped by the lean man previously. Under the force of rebound, the knife instantly bounced up.

Lin Fan grabbed the hilt with his hand and, in the nick of time, blocked the blade in front of him.

Clang!

The lightning-like strike from Triangular Eyes collided with Lin Fan’s blade, causing intense vibrations.

Buzz!

The knife in Lin Fan’s hand vibrated, and although the strong impact was felt, to Lin Fan, it was just like being tickled.

But for Triangular Eyes, it was tragic.

"Ah!"

Triangular Eyes screamed, and the knife in his hand flew out. He clutched his other hand to the web of his thumb; the massive impact had caused him intense pain there.

At this moment, not only did the web of his thumb feel as if it had torn apart, but his entire arm and half of his body went numb.

Triangular Eyes was terrified, instinctively backing away.

Lin Fan was too powerful, definitely a top expert in Inner Strength!

Triangular Eyes had killed countless enemies in his life and encountered many powerful foes, but he was sure that Lin Fan was the most terrifying enemy he had ever faced.

In one collision, his weapon was simply knocked away.

Beside them, the sturdy woman was dumbfounded. She thought Lin Fan couldn’t escape the boss’s quick blade and was sure to die this time. Who would have thought, in the blink of an eye, her boss’s blade was sent flying?

"How, how is this possible?" the sturdy woman stammered. At this moment, she realized that Lin Fan was too strong!

He was even stronger than her boss.

From thinking Lin Fan was a weak man for her to bully, to realizing he was stronger than all of them, the process was admittedly long, and the price was too high. There were three of them; she herself had her tailbone injured, was in tears from the pain, and standing was difficult. The lean man was even worse, with a bleeding head and already unconscious.

Now even their boss seemed about to lose!

"I don’t really like playing with knives and guns, let’s compare fists," Lin Fan said with a smile, thrusting the knife he held into the ground and stepping towards Triangular Eyes, his fist already clenched.

Triangular Eyes’ expression tightened; he dared not be careless. He figured he must have been too careless before and underestimated Lin Fan’s powerful Inner Strength.

Seeing Lin Fan approaching, Triangular Eyes quickly marshaled his Inner Strength, trying to restore feeling to his numb half-body and focusing his Inner Strength in his fist.

But before he could recover, Lin Fan was already upon him, a fist flying at him. He couldn’t dodge, so he gritted his teeth and could only hurriedly meet the attack, his fist colliding with Lin Fan’s.

Boom!

The collision sparked a wave of intense energy, scattering in all directions.

Triangular Eyes staggered back several steps. The half of his body that had just slightly recovered went numb again, and his arm hung weakly, too heavy to lift.

Lin Fan didn’t give him any time to recover, relentlessly following up with a second punch aimed at Triangular Eyes’ face.

Triangular Eyes hurriedly tried to dodge, but with half of his body numb, how could he escape? His face took a solid punch, leaving him bruised and bleeding, tears streaming from the pain, his body swaying, almost toppling over.

Seeing Lin Fan’s third punch about to land, Triangular Eyes panicked and quickly raised his hand, shouting, "Wait, wait, Mr. Lin, wait!"

Lin Fan paused: "What, are you surrendering?"

Triangular Eyes nodded: "Yes, surrendering. Mr. Lin, your skills are too good. I admit I’m not your match."

Lin Fan said, "And then? You know what to do next?"

Triangular Eyes said, "Ah, honestly, we truly are a martial arts influence, we were once a glorious force called the Divine Blade Sect. If not for our decline, our Divine Blade Sect would definitely have a place among the Hidden Sects in the Jianghu."

Lin Fan said, "And then, what’s that got to do with you seeking the Yun Sect?"

Triangular Eyes said, "For many years, I’ve had a grand ambition, to revive the Divine Blade Sect. But we are too weak, not in our cultivation, but in financial resources. To revive our sect, we need money. We grew up training under our master in the mountains and are no good at business. Making us earn money through trading is too difficult for us, so we found a shortcut to success."

Lin Fan said, "Are you trying to rob people?"

Triangular Eyes said, "No, we accidentally came across information about a treasure. There’s a legend that there’s a treasure over a thousand years old. A thousand years ago, there was a super sect in the Jianghu called the Demon Sect, and this treasure belongs to the Demon Sect."

Lin Fan sweatdropped: "The Demon Sect?"

This was starting to sound like a martial arts novel. The Demon Sect appeared! Could it be real?

Triangular Eyes said, "In those days, the Demon Sect committed all sorts of evils and was reviled by the righteous factions in the Jianghu. The righteous factions united and destroyed the Demon Sect. But when they counted the Demon Sect’s legacy, they found its wealth was already gone, including those terrifying secret martial arts manuals. They vanished without a trace. Some speculate the Demon Sect, knowing its end was near, destroyed the wealth to prevent benefiting the righteous factions, or perhaps buried the treasures."

For centuries after the Demon Sect’s downfall, people in the Jianghu have coveted its legacy, but they could never find its whereabouts, and gradually, they began to believe the Demon Sect left no treasures and burned everything.

Later, the Jianghu entered an era of chaos, constant conflicts; many factions were decimated, while others hid away to protect themselves.

As time passed, the lost legacy of the Demon Sect faded from memory.

However, legends of the Demon Sect’s treasures endure, a vast treasure supposedly hidden in an unknown place. Whoever finds it will benefit immensely.

The Demon Sect was once the world’s largest sect, and its wealth was said to rival a nation, possibly even more valuable in today’s terms.

Who could resist such tempting riches?

Lin Fan said, "You’re looking for the Demon Sect’s treasure, what’s that got to do with the Yun Sect?"

Triangular Eyes said, "To find the Demon Sect’s legacy, we need to find the treasure map first, and that map is with the Yun Sect!"

Lin Fan chuckled: "You think the Yun Sect really has a treasure map? Then why haven’t they gone treasure hunting?"

Triangular Eyes said, "There’s an astonishing secret behind this, but I’m not fully aware of it. I only know the Yun Sect does have the treasure map. Perhaps they haven’t gone treasure hunting because they themselves don’t know."
