"I have to say that you're very brave."
The Taixuan Hierophant regained his composure after a short moment. After all, he was an expert who had experienced many storms and was the leader of a Hierophant. He had the ability to control himself.
He was curious. Who gave Fang Chen the courage to come to the Taixuan Hierophant?
Where was the scholar?
Did he kill him?
These thoughts flashed through the Taixuan Hierophant's mind. He looked at Fang Chen and wanted to see what tricks he could play.
"What's with the killing order?" Fang Chen asked.
"Hmph, since you know about the killing order, why are you asking me?"
The Taixuan Hierophant thought that Fang Chen was angry at the scholar for giving him the killing order. He had lost his mind and came to the Taixuan Hierophant to seek revenge.
"I was going to let the scholar kill you and bring back the killing order. Now, it seems that there's no need for that. There's a path to heaven, but you don't want to take it."
Boom, boom, boom!
The Taixuan Hierophant made his move. He used the Taixuan Sutra and punched out. A huge fist aura appeared in the secret room and evolved into the pattern of the Yin-Yang Fish. It pressed down on Fang Chen's head.
Fang Chen sneered. According to the cultivation system of the ancient civilization, the Taixuan Hierophant couldn't even reach the Tenth Level of the Saint Realm. How dare he try to fight with him, an Eleventh Level Saint Realm expert? What a joke.
Crash!
Fang Chen pointed his finger and the Yin-Yang fish pattern formed by the Taixuan Sutra shattered. The Taixuan force also disappeared completely.
Dong!
The Taixuan Hierophant felt a strong backlash and was forced to retreat.
"Hmm?"
The Taixuan Hierophant stabilized himself and frowned as he stared at Fang Chen. His heart was in turmoil. Who was this person? How could he be so strong?
If he used the Taixuan Sutra with all his strength, an ordinary Ninth Level Saint Realm expert wouldn't be able to block it. However, not only did this person block it, but he did it so easily.
Feeling the slight trembling of his palm, the Taixuan Hierophant began to seriously size up Fang Chen, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
He even secretly wanted to send a message to the other elders of the Taixuan Sect, asking them to encircle Fang Chen together. However, he was shocked to find that the message had failed.
"How is this possible?"
The faint halo that enveloped the secret room actually isolated it from the outside world.
"Who are you?"
The Taixuan Hierophant asked in a deep voice. He had been in the world for so many years and had even followed the master of the Great Snow Mountain to conquer the world. He had never heard of such a young Saint.
Breaking his Supreme Mystery Sutra with a single finger was simply unheard of.
Even the master of the Great Snow Mountain might not be able to do so.
"Someone from a holy land?" the Taixuan Hierophant asked.
He suspected that Fang Chen was from the Holy Land of the Devouring Demons. Moreover, he was not from the younger generation. He should be an ancient expert who had been in a deep slumber. Otherwise, he could not possibly possess such powerful combat strength!
"So, you don't know the true meaning of the Killing Warrant?" Fang Chen put away the Killing Warrant and said calmly.
The Taixuan Hierophant had always emphasized that it was a waste to use the Killing Warrant on him. It was such an important opportunity to ask the Great Snow Mountain for help, and he did not want to waste it. Therefore, he sent the scholar to find him and take back the Killing Warrant before the emissary of the Great Snow Mountain killed him.
However, he had never dreamed that he would come to the Taixuan Sect to find him, and that he would be so powerful that he could crush him.
The Taixuan Hierophant did not speak and launched a fierce attack. The greatest meaning of the Killing Warrant was that it allowed the Great Snow Mountain to help once. No matter how strong the opponent was, the Great Snow Mountain would help to eliminate them.
This was the greatest meaning of the Killing Warrant, and it was also the trump card of the Taixuan Sect.
The Supreme Mystery Sutra was used again, but this time, two images of the Yin-Yang Fish appeared in the sky above the secret room. The Taixuan Hierophant activated all the Taixuan power in his body and controlled the images of the Yin-Yang Fish to attack Fang Chen wildly.
"Child's play."
Fang Chen was no longer worried. He directly exploded with the combat strength of the Eleventh Order Saint Realm, easily breaking the Yin-Yang Fish and suppressing the Supreme Mystery Sutra.
Crack!
The Taixuan Hierophant was struck by lightning, and he fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood. His face was pale, and the Taixuan power in his body was gone. What frightened him even more was that the Supreme Mystery Sutra was eating away at his meridians. If this continued, his internal organs would be devoured and he would die.
"No!"
The Taixuan Hierophant roared in anger, but he could not stop it.
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill the Taixuan Sect?" The Taixuan Hierophant's voice carried a trace of fear.
He had thought that he could easily kill Fang Chen, but now he realized that he was no match for him. The latter was most likely an ancient expert of the Holy Lands who had been sleeping for a long time.
They were not on the same level at all. What awaited him was death.
The Supreme Mystery Sutra that he was so proud of was eating away at him, and the Supreme Mystery Grand Formation could not withstand a single blow. He had used all his trump cards, but he could not do anything. What else could he do?
The Taixuan Hierophant was also in despair.
"Since you do not know the meaning of the Killing Order, what is the use of keeping you alive?"
Poof!
With a flick of his finger, it pierced through the Taixuan Hierophant's head. The latter fell to the ground unwillingly and lost his life.
Then Fang Chen disappeared.
Several hours later, someone discovered that the Taixuan Hierophant's life tablet had shattered. The news spread instantly, and the entire Taixuan Sect was shaken.
The elders who were guarding the secret chamber forced the door open. What they saw was the messy chamber and the corpse of the Taixuan Hierophant.
"Hierophant …"
Everyone was shocked and shouted.
After the elders confirmed the death of the Taixuan Hierophant, the atmosphere in the Taixuan Sect was extremely sad. Everyone's eyes were filled with anger.
"Who killed the Hierophant?"
While they were angry, they were also panicking. A cultivator who could kill the Taixuan Hierophant without a sound must be someone with extraordinary means. If he wanted to kill, the Taixuan Sect would probably cease to exist.
However, he did not even bother to make a move. He just took the Taixuan Hierophant's life and left.
"Avenge the Hierophant," a disciple shouted.
However, what greeted him was a thunderous blow from the First Elder. "Shut up."
The other elders also trembled. They were afraid that the murderer would return.
"The death of the Hierophant is a big matter in the sect. We will gather all the members outside and discuss it together. Before that, no one is allowed to talk about the Hierophant's death. Otherwise, you will be punished," the First Elder said.
However, there was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world.
Not long after, the other forces heard the news. The small forces that were usually bullied by the Taixuan Sect immediately joined forces to denounce the Taixuan Sect.
"The Taixuan Sect is too cruel. They bullied us and killed our families. We cannot let them kill us. It is time to raise our weapons and fight back."
Many small forces began to call for more victims to join in.
For a moment, the Taixuan Sect was surrounded by enemies.
