Jian Ji would never have thought that the two people who had helped him had already been severely injured by Fang Chen. Even if they were not dead, they had lost their ability to fight.
After sending the message, Jian Ji realized that there was no response from Fang Chen. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Chen.
At this moment, Fang Chen had a cold smile on his face.
"You …"
Jian Ji kept retreating. Fang Chen was too strong. Unless Jian Moyun, the first disciple of Swordsaint Mountain, acted personally, no one would be able to suppress him.
"I, Jian Ji, am willing to compensate for what I have done. What are your conditions?" Jian Ji begged in panic.
But it was useless.
Lou Lanxi was also a disciple of Heaven-Defying Alliance and had helped Fang Chen many times.
If Fang Chen had not come in time, Lou Lanxi would have been humiliated. Thinking of this, Jian Ji was furious. If anything happened to Lou Lanxi, how could he explain it to Peak Master Yun Luo?
Therefore, Jian Ji had to die.
Slash!
The Hidden Star Sword was swung and Jian Ji instinctively reached out to block it. One of his arms was instantly cut off. He screamed in pain and tried to escape.
However, Fang Chen had already locked onto him and had injured him severely. There was no way for him to escape.
Bang!
Jian Ji spat out blood. He could no longer support himself and sat on the ground. His face was ashen as if the end of the world had come.
"You can't kill me."
Jian Ji's expression changed and he gradually calmed down.
He knew that Fang Chen's strength was beyond his imagination. It was almost impossible for him to escape from under Fang Chen's nose. Rather than that, he would rather negotiate with him.
He did not believe that there would be eternal enemies in this world.
As long as there were enough benefits, even if it was an eternal enemy, they could work together.
"I am a disciple of Swordsaint Mountain and I am on the Saint Royal Ranking. If you kill me, Swordsaint Mountain will definitely do their best to kill you," Jian Ji said.
Aside from the Heaven-Defying Alliance, Swordsaint Mountain was the strongest Sect in the world, standing shoulder to shoulder with Purple Robes Sect and Nine Holies Palace.
There were many disciples from the Sword Saint Mountain who were ranked on the Holy Emperor Ranking List, but only a few of them were in the top twenty. Those disciples were the most precious disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain, they couldn't afford to lose them.
The reason he brought out the Sword Saint Mountain was to make Fang Chen retreat in the face of difficulties.
"I was wrong before, but Lou Lanxi did not suffer any substantial injuries. I am willing to apologize for my reckless actions and give you an Origin Pill." Jian Ji gritted his teeth.
The Origin Pill was extremely important to Saint Realm martial artists.
Even Fang Chen was only given one when he became the chief among the new disciples.
And now, for the sake of survival, Jian Ji had taken out an Origin Source Pill. From this, one could see how much he desired to live.
Fang Chen was silent, but his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Three. That's the limit. No more."
Seeing this, Jian Ji hurriedly cried out.
Fang Chen ignored Jian Ji and continued walking forward. Jian Ji's body was trembling as if the God of Death was near. He was filled with fear.
"How about I add an Origin Saint Weapon?"
Jian Ji roared hysterically. This was already beyond what he could bear. However, in order to survive, he had no other choice.
"Hahaha …"
Fang Chen sneered.
"The moment you attacked Lou Lanxi, your fate was sealed."
With a bang, Fang Chen punched Jian Ji, crippling his cultivation. Then he threw Jian Ji to Lou Lanxi.
Lou Lanxi had calmed down and regained his noble temperament. He looked at Jian Ji coldly.
"Miss Loulan, I was blinded by greed. Please, for the sake of the Sword Saint Mountain, let me live."
Jian Ji knew that Lou Lanxi was the key to his survival.
"Kill him."
Lou Lanxi said coldly. His voice was emotionless.
Fang Chen nodded and raised his sword.
"No, I have a sworn brother. He's the disciple of Ancestral Patriarch E 'Cang, Tang E. If you dare touch me, he won't let you go."
Slash!
With a single strike, Jian Ji died.
"Thank you."
Lou Lanxi lowered his head and said softly.
…
Jian Moyun sat cross-legged on the peak of the Flaming Mountain, breathing fire energy.
After entering the Demonic Fire Domain, the others were fighting to kill Rank Six and above. However, Jian Moyun was not in a hurry. He had an epiphany and was comprehending the Origin of Fire.
Phew!
After cultivating for a while, Jian Moyun opened his eyes.
"As expected of the Demonic Fire Domain. I've only cultivated for a few days and I feel like I've crossed the threshold. I'm about to comprehend the Origin of Fire."
Comprehending a second Origin Source was simply too attractive for Sword Demon Yun.
"After I find the Fire Marrow Mine and refine the Fire Marrow Crystals, I'll be able to speed up my comprehension. When I fully comprehend the Origin of Fire, I'll definitely be able to challenge him."
Jian Moyun's eyes shone with a terrifying light.
The only expert on the Sacred Royal Leaderboard that could make him pay so much attention to was the mysterious expert at the top.
His goal was to replace him and become the new top of the Sacred Royal Leaderboard.
Phew!
The Communication Token rang and Jian Qingyun's anxious voice came through.
"Big Brother, Jian Ji is dead."
Jian Moyun frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
"I'm not sure yet. However, I suspect that it has something to do with the Heaven-Defying Alliance." The voice came from the other side.
"The Heaven-Defying Alliance?"
If the loss of his younger brother's arm had already infuriated Sword Demon Yun, then the death of his younger brother, Jian Ji, had completely driven him into a frenzy.
Soon, he gave an order to the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain to find Fang Chen at all costs.
Not long after, a piece of news spread through the Demonic Fire Domain.
The Sword Saint Mountain had offered an Origin Elixir as a reward for finding someone.
The target of the reward was the new chief disciple of the Heaven-Defying Alliance, Fang Chen.
The news was so shocking that no one knew what was going on.
Many martial artists who coveted the Origin Elixir started to look for Fang Chen frantically.
At the same time, in front of a lava pool in the Demonic Fire Domain, a man in crocodile armor muttered to himself.
"Jian Ji is dead. I suspect that he was killed by the disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance?"
Tang E licked his dry lips and revealed a playful smile.
"I don't want to kill anyone. However, the disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance have forced me to take action."
At this point, an extremely cold aura emerged from Tang E's body. "Although Jian Ji's strength was weak, he was my sworn brother after all. We once said that we would share blessings and hardships together. Now that he is dead, I will overturn the entire Demon Sky Fire Region to avenge him."
"The Heaven-Defying Alliance?"
Tang E said eerily.
"Let me see if the disciples of the Heaven-Defying Alliance are worthy of their name."
…
After treating Lou Lanxi's injuries, Fang Chen brought him deep into the Demonic Fire Domain to look for Saint Emperor Frost and the others.
Along the way, they met many disciples of the Sect who wanted to kill Fang Chen in exchange for the Origin Elixir.
However, almost everyone who tried to kill him died in the hands of Fang Chen.
After a few days of traveling, Fang Chen finally met up with Saint Emperor Frost and the others.
"Xiao Xi, are you alright?"
Saint Emperor Frost was furious after knowing what had happened.
"I'm fine." Lou Lanxi shook his head gently as Zi Die comforted him.
Saint Emperor Mo Bai looked at Fang Chen and said, "You're good. You actually killed Jian Ji. That guy is in the top twenty of the Saint Emperor Leaderboard."
"The entire Sword Saint Mountain is looking for us for revenge. At the same time, Jian Mo Yun has also issued a reward for your whereabouts."
Saint Emperor Frost said.
"Senior Brother Frost, what do you mean?" Fang Chen asked.
"Our Heaven-Defying Alliance has never provoked anyone, but that doesn't mean we're afraid of trouble. Since the Sword Saint Mountain has issued a reward for your whereabouts, then we won't back down. From today onwards, we'll officially declare war on the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain," Saint Emperor Frost said.
Saint Emperor Mo Bai added, "That's right. I've always disliked Jian Mo Yun. If he dares to come, I'll teach him a lesson."
Fang Chen rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Senior Brothers, Jian Mo Yun thinks he's strong and wants to do whatever he wants. He even looks down on our Heaven-Defying Alliance and issued a reward. This is a public provocation."
The two of them looked at Fang Chen, waiting for him to finish.
"I wonder if the two of you want to do something big?"
"Huh?" The two of them didn't know what he was talking about.
Fang Chen gestured at his neck with his palm. The two of them opened their eyes wide and their pupils constricted.
The two of them fell into deep thought while Fang Chen waited quietly.
After a long while, Saint Emperor Mo Bai said, "I have no objections. But if we do this, how will we explain it to the Sword Saint Mountain?"
Although the Heaven-Defying Alliance wasn't afraid of the Sword Saint Mountain, if they killed all the top disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain, the Sword Saint Mountain would definitely go crazy.
"Entering the Demonic Sky Fire Domain is dangerous. Let's rely on our own abilities.
The Sword Saint Mountain has been targeting us. It's time to teach them a lesson. "Saint Emperor Frost's eyes flashed coldly.
However, this lesson was bound to cause a storm of blood.
Soon, the three of them discussed and decided to do something big.
Saint Emperor Frost took out a map from his bosom.
"This is the rough map of the Demonic Sky Fire Domain. This is where we are now."
Saint Emperor Frost gestured on the map, "The Fire Essence Mine is in the depths of the Demonic Sky Fire Domain, which is right here."
After introducing the general location, Saint Emperor Frost said, "Although the Sword Saint Mountain isn't as strong as the Heaven-Defying Alliance, we have to be careful of Jian Mo Yun and the others. If he uses his trump card, we have to be prepared."
"We'll listen to Senior Brother Frost's orders." Saint Emperor Mo Bai said. Purple Butterfly and Lou Lanxi also nodded.
"A total of eighteen disciples came from the Sword Saint Mountain this time. The one we have to pay attention to the most is Jian Mo Yun.
It won't be easy to catch them all. "
