As soon as Fang Han's words came out, an icy cold chill immediately rippled through the pill room. No one could have expected that while speaking, Fang Han would suddenly change his face. Whether it was Wu Li or Xuantie Zhenren, they both abruptly stood up, looking at Fang Han with shocked gazes.
They originally calculated to use the matter of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots to viciously extort a sum from Fang Han, determining that Fang Han, anxious for success, would definitely agree to them. Then, he would respectfully offer up spiritual pills, Forgetfulness Water, and even dharma formulas with both hands, and then obediently go with them to the extremely perilous Desolate God Temple to lead the vanguard, allowing them to reap all the benefits.
At this time, Fang Han only had eight or nine years left before his life-and-death decisive battle with Hua Tiandu. Everyone knew that time was precious to the extreme for Fang Han, so Xuantie Zhenren, Wu Li, and the others had made a seemingly good calculation.
How could they have known that Fang Han would not even discuss it, falling out immediately, faster than turning the pages of a book. Moreover, his killing intent was deep, adopting the appearance of a monarch deceived by his subordinate courtiers.
His cold gaze swept over them, making Xuantie Zhenren, Wu Li, and the other true disciples feel as if they had committed the "crime of deceiving the monarch."
"My ability to refine Origin Infant Pills is based on the principle of treating people with kindness and befriending fellow disciples. If you came to seek spiritual pills, I absolutely would not be stingy, nor do I covet your magic treasures. But with your ill intentions, actually daring to use tricks to deceive me, do you take me, Fang Han, for someone easily provoked?"
Fang Han saw things with crystal clarity; upon hearing Xuantie Zhenren's words, he knew exactly what the other party was scheming.
"Uh!" At this time, Xuantie Zhenren realized what was happening. His face instantly turned iron-green, pointing at Fang Han and saying: "Fang Han, with good intentions, we wanted to tell you the whereabouts of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. Not only do you not appreciate the favor, but you also meet us with vicious words. What are your intentions?"
"I have no intentions." Fang Han said softly: "If you want to exchange, I can give you a massive amount of Origin Infant Pills, and even give you Forgetfulness Water. You can tell me the whereabouts of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots. As for the rest, it is completely out of the question."
"At this moment, I no longer want to tell you. Let you cross hands with Hua Tiandu nine years from now." Xuantie Zhenren suddenly smiled sinisterly, "Since we cannot come to an agreement, you assume we want to harm you. What else is there to say? We take our leave here!"
"Failing to deceive me, and you want to leave? How can there be such an easy thing." Fang Han shrugged his shoulders.
He knew his seniority was shallow. Distributing "Origin Infant Pills" to supply sect disciples, although called befriending, in the eyes of some, he would also become a "sucker." Weren't "Xuantie Zhenren" and these disciples treating him exactly like a sucker?
It would be better to take this opportunity to discipline them and establish prestige within the sect.
Hearing that Fang Han would not let them leave, a burst of killing intent immediately emerged from Xuantie Zhenren's body. Wu Li's killing intent boiled even more, laughing out of extreme anger, "Hahahahaha, Fang Han, you are arrogant and conceited, thinking that having gained a few extraordinary encounters, you can despise all the true disciples of our Yuhua Sect? You haven't even successfully cultivated the Golden Pill yet! It seems our good intentions were treated by you like a donkey's liver and lungs. You think you are formidable, I actually want to experience your Dao arts!"
"You? It seems you are not qualified for me to make a move." Fang Han stared at Wu Li for a good while, "When the six great Zhenren of the Taiyi Sect crossed hands with me, they were all captured by me in one swoop. Do you consider yourself comparable to those six great Zhenren?"
"Hahahahaha! That group of playboys from the Taiyi Sect, how could they compare with me! They are raised by the sect, stretching out their hands to be dressed and opening their mouths to be fed; aside from having eyes higher than the sky, they are good for nothing. How could they compare with me? Since childhood, I have slain demons and eradicated evil, experiencing a hundred battles, venturing into demonic lairs, stirring up monster caves, surviving nine deaths and one life! Braving the wind and rain, tempering a body full of divine abilities. It seems you, relying on two occasionally acquired magic treasures and having beaten a few playboys, think you are about to attain the Dao and become an immortal?"
While Xuantie Zhenren spoke, his tone was proud.
"Fine, since that is so. How about you all go to the Heavenly Punishment Platform with me for a contest? You are an expert of the sixth realm of divine abilities, the Origin Return Realm. I merely just successfully cultivated to the fifth realm of divine abilities, having not even gathered the five elements completely. Presumably taking me down will be reliable for you. However, if you lose, tell me exactly the whereabouts of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots originally. If I lose, I will give you three thousand Origin Infant Pills and three thousand drops of Forgetfulness Water. Do you have the guts to compete with me?" Fang Han looked at Xuantie Zhenren and Wu Li with a mocking gaze.
Xuantie Zhenren gave the Xuantie Battle Robe on his body a shake: "Probably because an elder helped you refine the demonic blade Blood Firmament into a low-grade Dao artifact a month ago, you have become this awe-inspiring. Since you are so single-minded about giving me three thousand Origin Infant Pills and Forgetfulness Water, I won't stop you! Hmph! We will see you on the Heavenly Punishment Platform!"
While speaking, Xuantie Zhenren's body flashed, actually forcefully shifting out of Fang Han's pill room!
Wu Li and the others merely sneered and also flew out.
"Fang Han, you going to the Heavenly Punishment Platform to have a magical battle with them is to establish prestige, right." Jialan stopped her hands: "These few people indeed thought you were weak and easily bullied, actually wanting to use the Five Elements Spiritual Roots to lure you. Spotting your psychology of being anxious for cultivation, they wanted to reap a massive advantage, but were seen through by you."
"Does Senior Sister know where there are Five Elements Spiritual Roots?" Fang Han hurriedly asked.
Jialan shook her head: "If I knew, I would have told you long ago. However, there is a disciple in our Yuhua Sect named Meng Shaobai who indeed obtained Five Elements Spiritual Roots. This person is claimed to be a little prodigy, always traveling outside, I fear he has already successfully cultivated the Golden Pill by now, also being a darling of heaven. Xuantie Zhenren once curried favor with him, and thus discovered the whereabouts of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots."
"Among the over a hundred true disciples of the Yuhua Sect, every single one is very mysterious. To think there is such a character? It seems in the future I must properly broaden my horizons." Fang Han said: "I am going to the Heavenly Punishment Platform right now; I wonder if the various Senior Sisters will go watch the battle?"
"Of course we must watch the battle, it has been a long time since true disciples engaged in a fierce battle." Jialan said: "I estimate that once the alarm bell rings, all cultivating true disciples will go watch the battle."
"Good! This will make it even more convenient for me to establish prestige!"
Fang Han's body moved, and a burst of green qi rose from beneath his feet, directly flying into the sky, heading towards the Heavenly Punishment Platform within the "Yuhua Heavenly Palace."
At this time, high up on the Heavenly Punishment Platform, Xuantie Zhenren, Wu Li, and three Heaven-Man Realm true disciples were already standing. Seeing Fang Han fly over, they merely sneered.
"What? The five of you want to besiege me?" While Fang Han spoke, a long howl shook the surroundings, mountains echoing. Lights flickered on the various mountain peaks, and countless true disciples flew up from the peaks. Gazing at the Heavenly Punishment Platform, they saw that there seemed to be true disciples about to compete, and couldn't help but all become excited, gliding towards the Yuhua Heavenly Palace.
True disciples competing on the Heavenly Punishment Platform, gambling and fighting with Dao arts, was a rare occurrence.
Especially fights between experts who had cultivated to the fifth realm of divine abilities, the "Heaven-Man Realm," were even rarer. Such experts were all busy going around collecting herbs to refine pills, gathering five-element essence qi, cultivating divine abilities, breaking through realms, and contending with heaven for lifespan; where would they have the time to fight to the death?
True disciples from all directions flew to the surroundings of the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, looking high up at the Heavenly Punishment Platform, observing the standoff between Fang Han and Xuantie Zhenren's group.
"It is that Fang Han again, recently he has been greatly stealing the limelight."
"Indeed, he can actually refine Origin Infant Pills. The pill formula is one thing, but the materials are hard to find. How can he refine them in such massive quantities? Does the Five Hells King Cauldron truly have miraculous effects?"
"At this time last year, he was still an outer sect disciple, in the Physical Body Realm. This year he cultivated to the fifth realm of the divine ability sequence, communicating with heaven and humanity; such speed is truly appalling. Rare throughout the ages."
"That's not entirely it; I heard he stayed in the Taiyuan Immortal Palace for eighteen days. One day outside for us is a year inside, so he has fully cultivated for eighteen years."
"Eighteen years, that is also remarkable! Twenty years' time is only enough for us to successfully cultivate one divine ability. I wonder why he is competing with Xuantie Zhenren this time? Xuantie is an expert who cultivated to the Origin Return Realm. Ten years ago rumor had it he was about to successfully cultivate the Golden Pill. No matter how formidable Fang Han is, I am afraid he is still slightly inferior to Xuantie Zhenren."
"That is not necessarily true. Have you forgotten, a few days ago, blood light surged to the sky! It was Fang Han's demonic blade Blood Firmament, having been refined into a Dao artifact for him by the Heavenly Punishment Elder. Who knows what he contributed to the sect."
"Oh? Senior Brothers Lingxiao and Wanluo have both come to watch the battle!"
Amidst the discussions of the true disciples, among the five great true disciples, South Wanluo and East Lingxiao also slowly flew over, landing around the Heavenly Punishment Platform.
"I wonder if Senior Brother Hua Tiandu will come?"
"Senior Brother Hua Tiandu went to the Taiyi Sect."
…
"Going up together, what a joke! Let me see how your divine abilities are? Do you think relying on a single demonic blade Blood Firmament allows you to act willfully?" Wu Li did not care about the surrounding true disciples either. Grabbing with his hand, an extremely sharp sword qi suddenly emerged from the top of his head. Caught in his hand, it turned into an antique-styled longsword, engraved with many patterns, seeming like metal yet not metal, iron yet not iron.
This ancient sword exuded powerful magic power, impacting in waves, inside which a thousand strange beasts seemed to be roaring angrily and grinning hideously. As long as he waved his hand, the fierce gods and malicious deities inside would rush out, thoroughly drowning a person.
This sword was also a treasure artifact of extremely high quality.
"Roaring Shadow Sword, indeed also a high-grade treasure artifact. But absolutely not my match. You all might as well go up together! Save me the trouble!" Fang Han laughed heartily. Five streaks of blood light condensed on his palm, like lightning and wind, bright red and brilliant, like cinnabar. Suddenly, they shot out fiercely, slashing towards Wu Li's group of five. This was the blade qi of the demonic blade Blood Firmament.
Actually attacking five people right from the start.
"Bang bang bang…" Bang bang!
The five streaks of blood light blade qi collided with five streaks of sword light simultaneously.
Five human figures flew up!
Wu Li and the other four released their own flying swords, resisting Fang Han's blade light. These five were all upper echelon true disciples of the Yuhua Sect, and the flying swords in each person's hands were all treasure artifacts of excellent quality! Especially Xuantie Zhenren's flying sword, which was actually a supreme grade treasure artifact, called "Great Store Heavenly Dragon Sword." Upon striking, profound dragon roars emerged, attacking a person's mind.
"Simply seeking your own doom! You all step back! I will do it!"
Xuantie Zhenren sent out the "Great Store Heavenly Dragon Sword," blocking the blood-colored blade radiance. Suddenly, with a rumble, the Heavenly Dragon Sword changed, vanishing into thin air! In the next instant, it slashed onto Fang Han's body.
Surprisingly, the "Instant Kill Great Method"!
He was enraged, deciding to have a decisive contest with Fang Han.
