Although Xu Yan was much stronger than Wang Daoyun, the latter did not give him any face.
It was obvious that Xu Yan was jealous of Fang Chen's potential, so he came looking for trouble. His overall strength could be ranked in the top 50 of the Holy Zhi Palace disciples, and he was at the peak of the Eighth Rank.
He had once killed a Ninth Rank Saint on his own, and now he was challenging a new disciple. It was simply bullying.
"You've gone too far. As a fellow disciple, I'm also very concerned about the new disciple's cultivation state, so I want to spar with him to see if he needs my help. Why are you saying that I'm a despicable person who bullies the weak and fears the strong?"
Xu Yan said shamelessly.
"You!"
Wang Daoyun was furious. He pointed at the door and said coldly, "This is Junior Fang's residence. Not only did you barge in, but you also destroyed the door. Are you challenging the bottom line of the upper echelons of the Holy Zhi Palace?"
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Daoyun's words, Xu Yan's expression changed.
Even though the top experts had entered the Chaos Battlefield and could not come out for the time being, it did not mean that he was invincible. There were still many peak Ninth Rank Saints among the upper echelons of the Holy Zhi Palace.
Once they were lured out, there would be trouble.
Xu Yan pondered for a moment, then looked at Fang Chen with a smile. "Since Junior Fang is not willing to spar with me, I'll take my leave first. Let's talk another day."
After Xu Yan left, Wang Daoyun looked at Fang Chen seriously. "Are you okay?"
Fang Chen shook his head and bowed to thank Wang Daoyun. Although he was not afraid of Xu Yan, Wang Daoyun had good intentions. He could feel the latter's concern for him.
"Xu Yan is very sinister and has a bad reputation in the Holy Zhi Palace. He often bullies new disciples.
There are many disciples in the Holy Zhi Palace who have been bullied by him. "
Wang Daoyun said in a low voice, "Since that guy has his eyes on you, he won't let it go. Be careful. If anything happens, let me know immediately."
In the next few days, every time Fang Chen left his residence, he would run into Xu Yan. The latter did not attack him, but followed him like a ghost.
This made Fang Chen very angry.
Finally, one day, when Fang Chen was about to go to the library, a dramatic scene happened.
"Junior Brother Fang."
Xu Yan leaped up and shot out from the void, stopping in front of Fang Chen. A terrifying power swept across the world and slammed into Fang Chen's body. At the same time, Xu Yan secretly slapped out with his palm.
The sword-shaped runes on the surface of Fang Chen's skin flashed as he activated the Chaos Sword Body. His defense increased tremendously as he easily neutralized Xu Yan's attack.
"I'm doing this for your own good. You should know that there are countless disciples in the Holy Zhi Palace, and not everyone is as concerned about the new disciples as I am."
Xu Yan said shamelessly, "The purpose of me sparring with you is to help you find the shortcomings of the secret method and the problems you encounter in your cultivation. Then, I will point them out to you one by one. In this way, your cultivation will be twice the result with half the effort."
Fang Chen did not say anything. Xu Yan continued, "Go out and ask around. There are more than 20 junior brothers in the Holy Zhi Palace who have been taught by me. Now, when they see me, they treat me as if I'm their senior. They are very respectful."
Ever since Wang Daoyun warned Xu Yan, he changed his strategy. He no longer forced Fang Chen to accept the challenge. Instead, he used such a shameless method to harass Fang Chen.
"Senior Brother Xu Yan."
Fang Chen stopped and blocked the airwaves released by Xu Yan. The Chaos Sword Body went silent again. He raised his head and looked at Xu Yan seriously.
"You really want to spar with me?"
"Of course. You will know what kind of person I, Xu Yan, am."
However, before Fang Chen could say anything, a roar came from the void far away. Then, a burly fat man stepped on the clouds and came over.
He was wearing black armor and was very burly. He carried a black battle axe on his back. His body was filled with a terrifying killing intent, as if he was an expert who had walked out of purgatory.
Boom!
When he arrived and saw Xu Yan, he didn't say a word. He pulled out his battle axe and swung it at Xu Yan. The battle axe was wrapped in the power of the origin. It cut through the void and appeared above Xu Yan's head with unparalleled power.
"D * mn fatty, are you crazy?"
Xu Yan was infuriated and retaliated. He slapped out with both hands and Origin Energy surged. He slammed his palms onto the battle-ax with a deafening sound.
Dong!
A terrifying power came from the battle axe and forced Xu Yan to take a few steps back.
After stabilizing himself, Xu Yan glared at the burly fat man and gritted his teeth.
"Are you bullying the new junior brother again?"
The burly fat man held the battle axe and said with a strong aura.
"Hmph, it's not up to you to tell me what to do." Xu Yan said coldly.
"Junior brother, don't believe this guy. He likes to bully the new disciples." The burly fat man turned his head and said to Fang Chen.
Fang Chen was stunned for a moment before he understood.
He thought that the burly fat man in front of him had been bullied by Xu Yan before.
"Fatty, you are courting death."
Xu Yan's face turned ugly when he was exposed. He attacked and the two of them started fighting again.
Fang Chen retreated far away and watched the battle carefully.
"Although Xu Yan is not smart enough, his strength is not bad."
Fang Chen commented.
Xu Yan's cultivation was at the peak of the Eighth Rank, but his combat strength had reached the Ninth Rank.
"If I attack with all my strength …"
Fang Chen was thinking. If he were to make a move, what were his chances of winning?
After a while, Fang Chen shook his head.
So far, it was almost impossible for him to defeat Xu Yan unless he used the perfect bloodline. Even so, he could only tie with him at most.
"If I fully understand the Demon Slayer Formation, I should be able to suppress him with the help of the Demon Slayer Formation."
Fang Chen had already decided not to fight with Xu Yan for the time being.
Boom!
In a flash, the battle between the burly fat man and Xu Yan was over.
Xu Yan stood domineeringly, while the burly fat man was slightly embarrassed. Obviously, he was at a disadvantage in the battle just now.
"D * mn fatty, if I hadn't guided you back then, would you have achieved what you have today?
You don't know how to repay kindness and turned against me? "
Xu Yan sneered. "I know all about your secret techniques. What are you going to use to fight me?"
"Humph, one day, I will surpass you." The burly fat man was not convinced.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The battle here caused a huge commotion and attracted many disciples of the Dao Palace.
When they saw Xu Yan and Fang Chen, they instantly understood what was going on.
Some of the more prestigious disciples said, "Xu Yan, Palace Lord Lei just left and you are already jumping up and down?"
"This is the Dao Palace and we are from the same sect. How dare you have designs on us?"
Xu Yan glanced at everyone. His face was calm, but his heart was filled with murderous intent. He did not have much time left. He had to find a way to eliminate Fang Chen. This was an order and something he had to do.
