The entire venue was stunned.
Even the five elders of the Hua family were shocked into a stupor.
They were thoroughly astounded by Fang Han's language. To actually dare call Emperor Ning a bastard, what immense courage was this? From beginning to end, no one had dared to verbally abuse Emperor Ning.
Emperor Ning had a noble status as the son of the Disaster Heavenly Monarch. No matter who it was in the Heaven Realm, none dared to offend him. Even Emperor Feather, knowing clearly that the other party had surrounded and tried to kill him, still didn't dare to kill him after breaking free. He even wanted to shake hands and make peace as long as the other party retreated. This was actually a type of humiliation.
But now, Fang Han actually dared to insult him so blatantly.
To actually tell Emperor Ning to go eat shit, and to eat shit for ten million Heaven Realm years at that.
Who wouldn't be shocked? Who wouldn't be horrified?
Even Emperor Ning was dumbfounded by the cursing. He seemed unable to believe it, thinking his ears had heard wrongly.
After quite a while, he came to his senses. The color of his face drastically changed instantly, turning a pig-liver purple. After a full ten breaths, he let out a hysterical mad roar.
"Kill!"
Emperor Ning flew into a violent rage, fuming with fury from all seven orifices. He roared the word 'kill', looking at Fang Han with a vicious gaze enough to scare someone to death, seeming to want to directly vaporize Fang Han from the mortal world and burn him to ashes.
"Emperor Feather! What is the meaning of this!" Words of utter frenzy fired out of his mouth like a machine gun. "Today's matter cannot end peacefully anymore. It is absolutely to the death. I will not let this drop. I am going to devour this little animal alive! Emperor Feather, if you know what's good for you, step aside. I can spare your life. You leave immediately, but I must keep this little animal here to slice him apart alive and peel of his human skin!"
"Emperor Ning, you are just scaring little children here. You think that by acting so unhinged, I would be afraid of you?" Fang Han remained unhurried, calmly flicking his finger. "Today's matter was originally to the death. You executed a grand formation to surround and kill the sectmaster of the Yuhua Sect, breaking the rules of the Heavenly Court. After we broke your grand formation, you are still parading your might. Do you really take us for clay figures? Without even a shred of temper?"
"Emperor Feather! This little animal's barking here is so annoying! What do you intend to do? I'll give you one last chance. I will count to three. Leave this little animal behind, and then leave. Otherwise, we will have a massive slaughter today, struggling with you to the bitter end. Don't even think about resolving today's grudges."
Emperor Ning jumped violently again, roaring at Emperor Feather.
"That's right, this little animal's mouth is too cheap." The five elders of the Hua family spoke up. Hua Wenchang said in a deeply gloomy tone: "Emperor Feather, you may leave, but the Canister of Totems, along with this little animal and the corpse of the Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor, must stay. Us cleaning house this time isn't targeted at you either, it was a misunderstanding. Everything was caused by this little animal. How about this: after you leave, we are still people of the Yuhua Sect. The Hua family and you, the sectmaster, won't cross paths, jointly building the grand enterprise of the Yuhua Sect, how about it?"
"Indeed, this child is a black sheep."
"If this child isn't killed, the heavens will not tolerate it. He is a massive disaster."
"Killing this child brings peace to the world; not killing this child plunges the world into chaos."
"Emperor Feather, consider it yourself."
The other emperors, Emperor Swallow, Emperor Dark, and Emperor Heart also spoke up.
"The final chance, Emperor Feather. Of course, you can also choose to directly capture this child and hand him over to me. Then we will immediately turn hostility into friendship and become good friends from now on. Whether we are enemies or friends depends on your single thought. Make your own choice." Emperor Ning's face had now turned from pig-liver to a sickly green color, as if ghost fire was drifting over it.
"One!"
"Two!"
…
Emperor Ning started counting with his mouth. Every number drifted into the air, transforming into a death-urging musical note.
"Hold on!" Just as he was about to count to three, Emperor Feather suddenly shouted.
"What? Are you willing to hand over this little animal?" Emperor Ning's face showed a flash of joy, and he immediately asked.
"Humph! Emperor Ning, you push me too far! You think I'm afraid of the Disaster Heavenly Monarch and won't dare to kill you?" Emperor Feather's voice became heavier with each word, as if he had made his utmost resolve: "You surrounded and tried to kill me first. After having your grand formation slashed open by me, you actually don't leave and instead swagger around like this. I, Emperor Feather, am after all a supreme powerhouse who shares a lifespan with heaven and earth, a half-step Heavenly Monarch. My dignity allows no provocation. After killing you, I will make this matter completely public, letting the countless sects as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River across the Heaven Realm's hundred thousand grand regions know the truth of this matter and your shamelessness. Justice lies in the hearts of the people."
While speaking, Emperor Feather raised his sword toward the sky. Instantly, the heavens seemed to brighten. At this moment, his entire person was immensely radiant, like the source of faith, communicating with the ancient Holy Church.
He seemed to have become the only true god between heaven and earth. No one could surpass him, and no one could defeat him. This intense aura instantly pressed toward Emperor Ning.
In slightly a daze, Emperor Ning felt himself being isolated, isolated by the entire heaven and earth, isolated by all the emperors. Although there were numerous emperors beside him, he was incredibly lonely now. No one could protect him. The first thing he had to face was the terrifying killing strike of Emperor Feather's Sword of the Holy Church.
In that instant, he knew that Emperor Feather was angry, truly angry.
Only at this moment did he feel how terrible Emperor Feather was. A single burst of anger could shed blood within five paces. All his mental vitality was locked by the opponent, unable to move a muscle. He even felt that he couldn't escape.
Facing such formidable aura oppression, a trace of fear involuntarily arose in his heart.
Slash!
Emperor Feather moved, one step, one sword strike.
The step was an ordinary large stride, and the sword strike was an extremely ordinary slash ripping down from the sky. But it forced all those emperors—Emperor Kill, Emperor Swallow, Emperor Heart, Emperor Dark—to retreat continuously, entirely incapable of defending against it. Everyone present felt as though they had become the target of Emperor Feather's attack; the moment they made a rash move, they would suffer a thunderous blow.
Thus, everyone stepped back.
This sword strike, like a heavenly sword, cleaved down towards Emperor Ning.
Rumble!
One sword sliced heaven and earth apart. Emperor Ning roared loudly, a strangely shaped pair of bladed weapons appearing in his hands to forcibly block that sword strike. But as the sword slashed down, that pair of bladed weapons instantly shattered.
"Ah!"
Emperor Ning let out a tragic scream. His whole person, from head to toe, was split into two halves. The two halves of his body twisted, and bright red blood dyed the sky red.
Emperor Feather remained expressionless: "One sword cuts rivers and mountains, two swords cleave mountain ranges, three swords form a storm, four swords wash the world. Emperor Ning, dying under my 'Washing the World' move is enough to be proud of!"
The sword momentum changed. The sword in Emperor Feather's hand suddenly dispersed dazzlingly. Sword qi and sword awns transformed into a sky-filling torrential rain. Some rain was lingering, some torrential, some fierce, some hazy. But all the sword qi and sword awns were washing, washing away all the filth of the world.
Enveloped by the sword momentum of this move, not only the emperors but even Fang Han felt his heart tremble: "Senior Brother Emperor Feather is indeed formidably peerless. This move simply cleanses the rivers and mountains, scrubs heaven and earth, and sweeps away demonic atmospheres with the power of a single sword. Facing this sword, even I could not block it."
Emperor Ning's body condensed into form again, feeling as if doomsday had descended, his expression utterly horrified: "No! Emperor Feather, you dare to kill me! Disaster is looming over your head. I am the son of the Disaster Heavenly Monarch! You are offending a Heavenly Monarch!"
However, no matter how he yelled, Emperor Feather remained completely impassive. He had set his killing resolve and would absolutely show no mercy. With such courage to kill the son of the Disaster Heavenly Monarch, unafraid of facing a Heavenly Monarch, Fang Han couldn't help but admire him. He was someone capable of achieving great things. Perhaps, maybe with some heaven-shaking fortuitous encounter in the future, Emperor Feather would have a chance to advance to the rank of Heavenly Monarch.
The sword qi scrubbed, cutting off all vitality.
But right at this moment, a sudden mutation occurred.
A streak of white light, carrying intense vitality, shot directly into Emperor Feather's sword light and shone upon Emperor Ning's body. Emperor Ning's body immediately began to recover. Afterward, that streak of vitality light condensed into a white solitary horn and collided with Emperor Feather's sword light. They collided continuously over a thousand times, unexpectedly ending in a draw.
An expert with the lifespan equal to heaven and earth had actually come to his rescue!
"Emperor Life!" Emperor Feather let out a long howl and slashed a sword toward the void. Immediately, the void was torn apart, revealing the figure of a white-clothed man.
"Emperor Feather, always leave a way out for others. Emperor Ning acted wrongly this time, but his crime does not warrant death. I came specially to take him away. Let today's matter end just like this. This is the internal strife of the Yuhua Sect and has nothing to do with us from the bloodline of the Disaster Heavenly Monarch."
The white-clothed man flicked his large sleeve, defending against Emperor Feather's sword qi while wrapping Emperor Ning inside it. Moving without trading blows with Emperor Feather, he made a sharp whooshing sound and flew out, completely disappearing in the blink of an eye. Arriving quickly, departing quickly.
"Emperor Life!" Fang Han's heart stirred, perceiving that this man was also one of Disaster Heavenly Monarch's most powerful sons. His cultivation base was immensely higher than Emperor Ning's, being an expert at the Heaven and Earth Coeval realm, not inferior to Emperor Feather. He rescued Emperor Ning in one stroke and left smoothly, displaying unfathomable skill.
"Emperor Life, good that you came. Sooner or later, I will have a battle with you!"
Discerning Emperor Life's departure, Emperor Feather didn't give chase. His eyes flickered, unsure of what he was contemplating.
A few breaths later, his gaze shifted back, looking at Emperor Swallow, Emperor Dark, Emperor Heart, Emperor Kill, and the five elders of the Hua family. Emperor Feather's face grew increasingly ice-cold.
"You don't have the protection of the Disaster Heavenly Monarch, right? Mere emperors, actually daring to surround and kill me. Now that Emperor Ning is gone, you have lost your backing. Are you going to commit suicide? Or do you want me to make a move?"
Emperor Feather let out an icy voice, absolutely unforgiving. His murderous intent had risen, and no one could stop him.
If he even dared to kill Emperor Ning, much less these emperors with no backing.
"Emperor Feather? Are you crazy? Do you want to kill us all together? We are emperors of the Heavenly Court!" Emperor Dark roared loudly: "You are scrambling your own camp. With the barbarian invasion ongoing, we should unite as one to fight the great enemy. Today's matter shall be wiped off the slate, no one shall bring it up again. The five elders of the Hua family from the Yuhua Sect, all of this is their sinful consequence. I'm not getting involved in the internal strife of your Yuhua Sect anymore."
"That's right, we shall leave right now. You just capture the five elders of the Yuhua Sect. Do not drag us into it."
Emperor Swallow hastily said.
The faces of the five Hua family elders drastically changed all at once.
