Fang Chen felt Xu Yan's killing intent towards him. Although it was just a flash, his perfect bloodline had clearly sensed it.
He had never interacted with Xu Yan before, but Xu Yan wanted to kill him for the first time they met. This made him very puzzled.
He wanted to cultivate wholeheartedly, but Xu Yan kept disturbing him. Facing Xu Yan's aggression, he could only accept the challenge. Moreover, even if Xu Yan was strong, he was not weak either.
"I can take this opportunity to see how strong my perfect bloodline is.
Where is the limit? "
Fang Chen thought to himself. He looked up at Xu Yan with a slight smile on his face, as if he was not afraid of the upcoming battle.
Seeing this, Xu Yan frowned. He could defeat anyone in the same realm. He, who was at the peak of the Eighth Rank, had once killed a Ninth Rank Saint.
Any Saint King who saw him would feel fear from the bottom of their heart. However, the guy in front of him did not fear him at all. Was he putting on an act or did he really have something to rely on?
When Xu Yan thought about how Fang Chen was able to defeat a Sixth Level Holy Emperor when he was a Third Level Holy King, and even killed a Seventh Level Ox Demon, he felt a slight ripple in his heart.
"Humph, no matter what tricks you have, I will kill you."
Soon, Xu Yan calmed down and snorted coldly. His confidence was restored, and he looked at Fang Chen domineeringly.
"What kind of person am I?
How could I do such a shameless thing?
If Junior Brother Fang can withstand ten moves from me, I will give you ten pieces of Thunderstruck Wood with both hands. Furthermore, I will not disturb your cultivation in the future. "
Xu Yan sneered in his heart, but he spoke in a dignified manner.
Everyone was speechless. He knew that he could not lose, so he said that on purpose, right?
Many people shook their heads, and some reminded Fang Chen not to agree so easily. However, Fang Chen had already made up his mind. In order to show his magnanimity, Xu Yan did not ask for the battle to take place immediately, but proposed to wait for half a month.
"Junior Brother Fang has just broken through, and your realm has not completely stabilized. You need to consolidate. I will not take advantage of you. I will give you half a month to consolidate. Half a month later, you and I will fight in the arena."
After Xu Yan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
In front of so many people, he was not worried that Fang Chen would go back on his word.
Before long, many of the disciples who had come to watch the show left. Only a few disciples who had been bullied by Xu Yan stayed behind. They looked at Fang Chen helplessly.
"Junior Brother Fang, that Xu Yan is despicable and shameless. Many of us have suffered at his hands. You …"
"That's right. You shouldn't have agreed to it. With your potential, it wouldn't be a problem for you to join the Holy Zhi Palace. Furthermore, you were personally recruited by Palace Lord Lei. If you didn't agree, Xu Yan wouldn't have dared to force you."
"Sigh, you fell into Xu Yan's trap again."
Many disciples sighed, but since it had already happened, there was nothing they could do.
Although they were all disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace and were geniuses, there were still many who were stronger than them.
"I appreciate your kind intentions, Senior Brothers. Since I dared to agree, I have weighed the pros and cons."
Fang Chen cupped his fists and thanked them.
Soon, the disciples left. Before Xie Kui left, he patted Fang Chen's shoulder heavily. "Junior Brother, my name is Xie Kui. You are definitely my friend."
Fang Chen grinned. Xie Kui was very forthright and spoke up for justice. He was worthy of being friends with.
"Junior Brother Fang, you …"
In the end, only Wang Daoyun was left. The latter shook his head, worried for Fang Chen.
In the courtyard, Fang Chen and Wang Daoyun sat opposite each other.
"Senior Brother Wang, you don't have to worry," Fang Chen said with a smile.
"How can I not be worried?
That's Xu Yan. Even I am no match for him. "
Wang Daoyun shook his head. "Although you are talented, you have only cultivated for a short time. You are no match for Xu Yan."
"In the Holy Zhi Palace, Senior Brother Wang should be the one who knows me the best, right?" Fang Chen said. "Others may not know, but don't you know me?
I never do things that I am not confident of. Since I dared to agree to Xu Yan's request, I have a certain level of confidence. "
However, Fang Chen was a little worried.
He was worried that Xu Yan would go back on his word if he defeated him.
The Thunderstruck Wood was very important to him. It was a rare treasure. He was worried that Xu Yan would act out of desperation and go back on his word.
Wang Daoyun said on the spot, "Junior Brother Fang, you don't have to worry about this. Today, in front of so many people, if Xu Yan goes back on his word, someone will stand up for him."
In the following conversation, Fang Chen told Wang Daoyun that after his cultivation had stepped into the Fifth Level Holy Emperor Realm, his strength had skyrocketed. He could easily suppress a Seventh Level Saint. This set off a storm in Wang Daoyun's heart. He could not calm down for a long time.
In just a few days, the news of Fang Chen and Xu Yan's battle spread completely.
Many disciples began to pay attention to Fang Chen. When they found out about Fang Chen's battle results, they were all extremely surprised.
The quiet Holy Zhi Palace became lively again.
However, Fang Chen received a piece of shocking news.
The Heaven-defying Alliance had found some clues about the whereabouts of the Sky Sword Peak Master and were following up. Fang Chen's heart was not calm. Back then, the Sky Sword Peak Master had taken revenge for him. In a fit of anger, he killed his way to the No Demon Cult's lair and then mysteriously disappeared.
Fang Chen had always felt guilty about this.
Now, there was a glimmer of hope.
"After the battle with Xu Yan, I'll go and find out more information," Fang Chen said.
…
In the distant Demonic Sky Fire Region, the Triple Origin Flames were flying.
The Young Marquis and his group left Fire City and entered the Demonic Sky Fire Region. Then, they used a powerful method to completely seal off this place and isolate it from the outside world.
After that, the nine of them came to the Fire Marrow Mine and massacred it.
"Sinners, what right do you have to touch the Fire Marrow Mine?"
The nine of them floated above the Fire Marrow Mine and looked down from above. The Young Marquis sneered.
"Who are you?
How dare you behave so atrociously here? "
Below, someone shouted angrily.
Boom!
A servant next to the Young Marquis suddenly struck out with a palm. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountain shook. The person who had spoken was instantly crushed.
The terrifying palm print affected many people in the mine and miserable screams were heard.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! The elders of the various top Sects flew out of the mine and glared at the Young Marquis and his group.
"Who exactly are you?"
The elder from Nine Saints Palace asked.
"Why did you kill my disciples for no reason?"
"Sinners, you trespassed into the Young Marquis' territory and tried to mine the mine. This is a capital offense," the servant said coldly. "It is your honor to die at the hands of the Young Marquis."
Boom!
The elder from Nine Saints Palace was furious and his aura surged.
"Since the establishment of Nine Saints Palace, you are the first person who dares to be so arrogant and kill my disciples. I want to see who you are."
From the beginning to the end, the Young Marquis had not made a move.
