Amidst the raging winds, a figure shot over. Xu Yan had arrived.
Fang Chen's expression turned grave as he looked at Xu Yan. Based on Xu Yan's actions, it seemed like there was a secret behind Yang Xian.
Earlier on, Yang Xian was just about to speak when Xu Yan silenced him through the void. Fang Chen thought of many things.
Why did Xu Yan challenge him as soon as he entered the Dao Palace? Moreover, when they fought, it was obvious that Xu Yan wanted to kill him. Even though he hid it well, Fang Chen still felt it.
However, due to the sudden appearance of the Black and White Elders, he did not succeed.
Now, Xu Yan did not hesitate to expose his identity to stop him. What was all this about?
"Fang Chen."
Xu Yan did not even look at the two corpses on the ground. It was as if Yang Xian and Yuan Lie were nothing to him. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Chen. His killing intent was naturally emitted, giving people a creepy feeling.
Fang Chen also felt that something was wrong with Xu Yan. "Hmm?"
Xu Yan stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Hand over the Thunderbolt Wood."
Xu Yan's things weren't something that anyone could touch.
Moreover, those were the ten pieces of Thunderbolt Wood that he had painstakingly obtained after entering the Dao Palace.
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Fang Chen shook his head.
"Hmph, are you trying to play dumb with me?
Do you think you are still in the Myriad Dao World? "Xu Yan sneered. He waved his hand and sealed the void to prevent Fang Chen from escaping.
"The Thunderbolt Wood is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. It is not something that you can touch. Hand it over and I will leave your corpse intact."
"For ten pieces of Thunderbolt Wood, you let Yang Xian and Yuan Lie stop me and even put their lives on the line?" Fang Chen said.
Xu Yan sneered and looked at Fang Chen as if he was an idiot. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "After today, many disciples of the Dao Palace will know that it was you who held a grudge against Yuan Lie and Yuan Lie and took the opportunity to kill them."
Not only did Xu Yan want to kill Fang Chen, he also wanted to portray Fang Chen as a devil who killed his fellow disciples.
"Why are you doing this?" Fang Chen looked at Xu Yan. "Just because of ten pieces of Thunderstruck Wood?"
Of course, he knew that Xu Yan didn't kill him for the ten pieces of Thunderstruck Wood. He suspected that Xu Yan had something to do with the No Devil Cult.
"Why are you asking so many questions when you're about to die?"
Xu Yan was getting impatient. He slammed his palms together, causing the void to tremble. The terrifying Origin Energy in the surroundings gathered crazily. In the blink of an eye, it formed a terrifying vortex in front of him.
Upon closer inspection, there were specks of resplendent light within the vortex. Xu Yan's palm struck out toward Fang Chen, causing thunder to rumble within the vortex.
Rumble!
A deafening sound resounded through the sky. The palm, which carried infinite power, arrived in front of Fang Chen in an instant. The peerless aura completely enveloped Fang Chen. This was a sure-kill attack. No one in the same realm dared to face it head-on.
"Go to hell!"
Xu Yan was confident in his own strength. Back in the Dao Palace, he couldn't use his full strength because of the Demon Slayer Array. Moreover, the appearance of the Black and White Elders forced him to endure.
Now that the surrounding void was sealed, he wasn't worried about being discovered. In other words, he could fight without holding back.
"If it was before, I might have been afraid of you."
Looking at the approaching palm, Fang Chen mumbled. He then threw out a punch. The Chaotic Sword Body was fully activated. Sword-shaped runes shone and covered his fist.
Dong!
The fist shadow collided with the palm imprint, and an explosion ensued. A terrifying shockwave swept across the area, causing the seal in the surroundings to shake violently.
When the smoke dispersed, Fang Chen stood motionless. Seeing this, Xu Yan was shocked.
"You … absorbed the energy of the Thunderstruck Wood?"
Xu Yan's eyes were filled with rage. He couldn't wait to tear Fang Chen into pieces.
When he exchanged blows with Fang Chen, he sensed the Fire Origin Energy in Fang Chen's fist shadow. This energy came from the Thunderstruck Wood.
"Damn you."
Xu Yan was furious. He had comprehended the Thunderstruck Wood for so long, but he didn't dare to absorb it. He didn't expect that this guy would benefit from it.
"Die!"
Xu Yan couldn't care less anymore. He attacked crazily. Palm after palm, the void was about to be smashed.
Boom boom boom!
After a series of crazy attacks, Xu Yan was shocked to find that Fang Chen blocked his attacks so easily. Most importantly, Fang Chen didn't look bad at all. He didn't even feel like he had used his full strength.
"Thunderstruck Wood!"
Xu Yan gritted his teeth. He attributed Fang Chen's increase in strength to the Thunderstruck Wood. He thought that Fang Chen's strength came from the Thunderstruck Wood. He was greatly stimulated and went into a frenzy.
"Die for me!"
Xu Yan unleashed his ultimate skill. Like a lion, he engaged in an intense battle with Fang Chen. However, Fang Chen was able to withstand his attacks with ease.
The same unique skill, the same secret skill, and the same person used it. The power was even stronger than before. However, Fang Chen was able to deal with it calmly. He didn't even set up the Demon Slayer Formation.
What did this mean?
Fang Chen's strength had increased to a terrifying level in a short time.
In the last fight, Fang Chen was a Fifth Level Holy Emperor. With the help of the Demon Slayer Formation, he blocked ten of Xu Yan's attacks.
Now, his strength was comparable to Xu Yan's.
"Today, you must die."
Xu Yan was completely enraged. Every attack could erupt with the force of a thunderbolt. Fang Chen executed the Primordial Chaos Sword Technique, using his sword technique to deal with Xu Yan's palm technique.
The battle between the two caused the sky to fall and the earth to crack.
"Demon Slayer Formation."
Finally, after a fierce battle, Fang Chen set up the Demon Slayer Formation.
"None of the disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace can be underestimated."
Fang Chen muttered to himself. After all, Xu Yan was one of the top fifty disciples of the Holy Zhi Palace. His strength was incredible.
It was difficult to resist with the Chaotic Universe Sword Technique alone. He needed to borrow the power of the Demon Slayer Formation.
"The Demon Slayer Formation is useless against me."
Xu Yan's eyes were red as he roared in anger. He stared at Fang Chen and said word by word.
The hidden power in his body was restless. His palms shone with a strange light. With a thought, the power in his body could be completely unleashed.
"Useless?"
Fang Chen sneered. He controlled the Demon Slayer Formation to suppress Xu Yan.
Roar!
Xu Yan didn't seem to want to delay any longer. He didn't expect Fang Chen to be so powerful.
Now, he only had one thought, and that was to kill Fang Chen.
"Let's end this quickly."
Once he used that power, it would cause a huge commotion. At that time, the people in the Myriad Dao World would be able to sense it.
Therefore, after killing Fang Chen, he immediately left the place.
Whoosh!
Xu Yan's ferocious face gradually calmed down. He took a deep breath and said coldly, "You are indeed a genius comparable to the Ancient Era. Unfortunately, you will still die in my hands."
