Fang Han's methods were extremely ruthless, exhausting all capabilities of humiliation. First he trampled the Little Prison Emperor Han Yu beneath his feet, then he struck at the people of the Xuan Yuan Family, chopping off Xuan Yuan Ji's wrist and subsequently extracting his divine ability, the "Heart-Shaking Divine Palm." After that, he commanded Xuan Yuan Chi Xiao to kneel, and finally, with a single palm strike, smashed him to pieces and directly devoured him.
This series of methods thoroughly terrified everyone.
Because he casually wielded his power and was virtually without rival, even the leaders among the Saint Sons could not withstand a single exchange with him. One only needed to look at the Little Axe Emperor Xuan Yuan Po to know; with a sweep of Fang Han's sweeping sleeve, he was immediately forced to retreat continuously, completely unable to exert any strength.
"This person is too formidable, his methods ruthless. He absolutely cannot be provoked. Look at how he can utter words like even a Saint must kneel before him. Just how hard is his backing? His backing might even be a Heavenly Monarch."
"What should we do then? As long as this person doesn't make a move against us, it will be fine."
"It's all that Xuan Yuan Chi Xiao's fault! Backing out of a marriage is just backing out of a marriage, why did he have to blow the matter up so big? Now he has caused all of us to fall into danger."
"Damn it, he deserved to die!"
"What do we do now? Should we speak some good words to this Feng Yuan? Looking at his strength, I'm afraid he has already surpassed the Primal Immortal realm and reached the Half-Saint realm."
"Half-Saint! How is that possible? From the Mu Ye family, the Wisdom Fist Mu Ye Zhen cultivated into a Primal Immortal this time, and in one stroke, relying on massive accumulations, transformed into a Half-Saint. There is also the Martial Overlord Huangfu Fei of the Huangfu family, who also cultivated into a Half-Saint. However, these two figures are recognized as peerless overlords. Can this Feng Yuan really compare to them?"
"Don't forget, there is also the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei." The divine senses of many Saint Sons fluctuated, and the expressions they used to look at Fang Han had changed, containing some dread.
Any Saint Son with profound magic power became somewhat submissive in front of him.
"What's wrong? Brother Axe Emperor, I taught the scum of the Xuan Yuan Family a lesson on your behalf, you should be happy, yet you are pulling a long face? Could it be you want to break off relations with me?" After Fang Han killed Xuan Yuan Chi Xiao, he swept his gaze over and looked at the Little Axe Emperor Xuan Yuan Po.
"Not at all, not at all." Xuan Yuan Po was greatly startled in his heart and hastily said: "Since that boy Xuan Yuan Chi Xiao is dead, then he's dead. Obstinate and unlightened, provoking Brother Feng's majesty, his death was for nothing. With Brother Feng's honored status as a Half-Saint, how could you tolerate provocation? However, Brother Feng, let this matter end here. Please release Brother Han Yu. After all, now is not the time for infighting, but the time to seize the Buddhist treasure, the treasury of the Heavenly Chan Buddhist King."
"Half-Saint, he really is a Half-Saint."
"A cultivation base of a Half-Saint! Among our sects, only the Wisdom Fist Mu Ye Zhen of the Mu Ye Family and the Martial Overlord Huangfu Fei have successfully cultivated it. To think that such an unparalleled figure would actually appear within the Yuhua Sect."
"How terrifying! To actually be an existence at the Half-Saint level, this…"
"No wonder he is so fierce and overbearing, trampling the Little Prison Emperor underfoot. For the Little Prison Emperor to be defeated by a Half-Saint, he has lost convincingly."
"Half-Saint!"
The Little Prison Emperor Han Yu, who was struggling desperately under Fang Han's foot, heard this, and fear appeared on his face, no longer ferocity. Gradually, he also ceased struggling.
Fang Han circulated his True Qi slightly within his body one cycle, then suddenly raised a foot and kicked him flying into the air. He fell among the crowd of Saint Sons of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect and was caught by several Saint Sons.
"Consider yourself lucky this time. If you go against me again, I will kill you immediately."
He released this person.
However, this was also part of his plan. He knew that the people of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect would definitely not let the matter rest, so this was throwing a long line to catch a big fish. Using the Dao of Heaven-Stealing on the Little Prison Emperor's body, he planted a stream of Heaven-Stealing True Qi, hiding it so that he could harvest the other party's life at any time, pry into the secrets within the other party's body, and simultaneously learn some secrets of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect through him.
Because he was almost certain that the Saint "Grandmaster Wei" of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect would definitely come looking for him for revenge.
In legends, Saint "Grandmaster Wei" was a master weapon refiner, specifically adept at refining magic treasures, and possessed a profound cultivation. He was an established Saint, estimated to be on par with Nan Gong Shangxin.
Back then, upon hearing the rumors of the Xu family backing out of the marriage, this Saint wanted to resort to arms for the sake of his reputation but was persuaded to stop. However, this time during the Bloodshed Trial, Fang Han killed Xuan Yuan Chi Xiao, his proud disciple, which was equivalent to fiercely slapping the other party in the face.
Even more intolerable was that Fang Han voluntarily openly stated that even if "Grandmaster Wei" came looking for him, he would make this Saint kneel! That was a serious matter.
Because of this one sentence, if the Saint did not come looking for Fang Han, he might as well commit suicide.
Moreover, this sentence would definitely be repeated by many people with added embellishments.
When that time came, the Saint's revenge would be unavoidable.
At this time, setting down a chess piece could absolutely yield an unexpected effect. Fang Han's current cultivation was still far from being able to deal with a Saint. However, as long as he refined all the Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasures into peerless immortal artifacts—the Wings of Freedom, the Legend Staff, and all various magic treasures transformed completely into peerless immortal artifacts—then he could truly contend against a Saint. A Saint wouldn't be able to kill him either, and at that time, he would have safety.
Of course, having offended the Ferocious Emperor, if a Paramount Immortal made a move, he could not possibly resist it.
However, if the Ferocious Emperor made a move, the Chaos Heavenly Monarch would definitely intervene. So Fang Han did not need to worry either.
"The Myriad Prison Weapon Dao on this Little Prison Emperor is actually quite useful to me. It has condensed the history of the weapon dao civilization for me. Once I scout out the situation of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect, if this person still harbors hatred against me, I will directly activate the Dao of Heaven-Stealing and devour him to save trouble."
By injecting a stream of Heaven-Stealing True Qi into the Little Prison Emperor's body, Fang Han could spy on all the cultivation methods within the other party's body; even the other party's thoughts and every single movement could be clearly grasped.
Furthermore, he had now cultivated to the peak of Primal Immortal, the realm of a "Half-Saint", and the Good Fortune Divine Fist of the Thirty-Three Heavens had reached a kind of limit. Even a true Saint could not detect it.
He was now only a half-step away from a true Saint; the difference in realm was no longer that vast. Unlike before in the Ancestral Immortal realm, where there were several tiers of difference from a Saint, and every action could not be hidden from a Saint's eyes and ears.
"How about it? Now do you understand why I respect Brother Feng so much! Not listening to my words, you were obstinate and self-opinionated. Detestable! You caused my Xuan Yuan Family to suffer heavy losses!"
The Little Axe Emperor Xuan Yuan Po angrily scolded the trio of Xuan Yuan Ji, Xuan Yuan Kong, and Xuan Yuan Xiu at this time: "I told you long ago to turn hostility into friendship, but you wouldn't listen. Your claws were itching, thinking yourselves invincible in the world. As a result, you ran into Brother Feng, weren't you just like paper mache? There is always someone stronger; there is always a mountain higher. Now quickly show goodwill to Brother Feng. On account of my face, Brother Feng will not make things difficult for you."
"This…"
Xuan Yuan Kong and Xuan Yuan Xiu both had ugly expressions, but they dared not say anything more. With the warning from the preceding example, who dared to make a fuss as a leading horse in front of Fang Han?
That Xuan Yuan Ji had his hand severed by Fang Han and was still groaning in pain, unable to speak.
"Brother Feng, we offended you. On account of Xuan Yuan Po's face, please do not hold it against us." After hesitating for a moment, the woman Xuan Yuan Xiu turned her thoughts around, displaying an attitude of being able to yield and stand tall: "From now on, my Xuan Yuan Family and the Yuhua Sect are friends. All enmities are written off."
"Hm? Now this is the attitude you should have." Fang Han's expression softened slightly: "Consider Xuan Yuan Chi Xiao as us clearing out the trash of your sect for you. How about it?"
"Naturally." Xuan Yuan Kong also spoke, nodding repeatedly: "It is impossible for us to become enemies with a Half-Saint like Brother Feng over an unworthy disciple like Xuan Yuan Chi Xiao."
"That is good. I like turning hostility into friendship the most; having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy." Fang Han smiled: "Since the Xuan Yuan Family is so aware of the times, then I won't make things difficult for you. Also, Xuan Yuan Ji, do not be so rash next time. Confiscating one of your divine abilities serves as your punishment and teaches you a lesson. As for your wrist, I will not keep it. Otherwise, you would forever lose this arm, unable to grow it back, because I had already sealed your future, making it destined in your fate that you would lose an arm."
As he spoke, a river-like sharp edge was retracted.
With a jolt, Xuan Yuan Ji's arm flew back. After reattaching it, his injury recovered, and his groans ceased.
"Xuan Yuan Ji, still not apologizing to Brother Feng?" Xuan Yuan Po roared once more.
"Many thanks for Brother Feng's mercy." Xuan Yuan Ji said with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"What about you guys? Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect?" Fang Han paid him no mind, instead sweeping his gaze and looking over at the many Saint Sons of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect: "Do you choose to turn hostility into friendship, or do you choose to oppose me? If you choose to oppose me, I do not mind exterminating the sect of all you Saint Sons of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect today."
All the disciples of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect shuddered.
The Little Prison Emperor Han Yu was supported by others, his face gloomy and vicious. Anyone could tell he would not let the matter rest, his resentment running deep.
"What a big tone, actually threatening to exterminate all the Saint Sons of the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect. Where do you place our Mu Ye Family?" Suddenly, another voice transmitted over.
A tremor went through the air, and a group of Saint Sons appeared there.
Every one of these Saint Sons was exceedingly full of essence and spirit, their bodily magic power boundlessly formidable. There were fully more than ten powerful reincarnations like the Little Axe Emperor and the Little Rain Emperor who had also cultivated into Primal Immortals.
Especially the one at the lead. He was a young man, wearing plain clothes, empty-handed, with an ethereal aura. As his eyes flickered, there was the light of wisdom. One look and one would know he was a grand wise man.
This person was actually a "Half-Saint", exactly the same realm as Fang Han.
"Mu Ye Family, Wisdom Fist Mu Ye Zhen!" The Little Axe Emperor exclaimed in shock.
"Our Mu Ye Family, the Xuan Yuan Family, and the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect reached an agreement long ago to advance and retreat together. Brother Feng, you barged in and began a massacre without even asking our Mu Ye Family. That is truly somewhat unreasonable, isn't it?" That leading Wisdom Fist Mu Ye Zhen smiled towards Fang Han.
"So what? When this one wants to kill, there are never any misgivings." Fang Han said indifferently.
"That's right, the Mu Ye Family came at the perfect time. This Feng Yuan disregards the rules and provokes our majesty. Senior Brother Mu Ye Zhen, you must stand up for us and kill this Feng Yuan."
Among the Five Sacred Mountains Divine Sect, a Saint Son shouted loudly.
"Is that so?" The Wisdom Fist Mu Ye Zhen looked at this Saint Son, and suddenly, he reached out and grabbed. That Saint Son was plucked right out of the crowd and landed in his hand, looking at him with an astonished gaze.
Crack!
Taking advantage of the momentum, Mu Ye Zhen squeezed, and this Saint Son exploded into powder in mid-air: "I highly appreciate Brother Feng's spirit. This Saint Son of yours actually dared to sow discord; a single rat dropping ruins a whole pot of soup."
