Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Overbearing and Malicious
Chapter 547 -547: Overbearing and Malicious
Any Supreme Elder of the Giant Sect coming here would not be a problem.
Except for Fang Taiji.
He was the Supreme Elder who should not have come.
“Are you the disciples assisting with the action?”
Fang Taiji stood with his hands behind his back, hunched over as he scanned the group.
Even though it was just a gaze,
it made them feel as if a tangible force had swept over them.
It showed just how formidable his physical power had become.
He was likely touching the edge of the legendary Golden Body.
The group became even more respectful.
Suddenly,
Fang Taiji’s gaze fell on Jiang Fan, a hint of surprise appearing:
“What a strong physique!”
“Almost as powerful as some of our elders in the Giant Sect!”
“At such a young age, to have such a mastery,”
“Young one, which sect do you belong to? What is your name?”
Xia Chaoge and the others’ expressions darkened.
What they feared most had happened.
Of all people, Fang Taiji noticed Jiang Fan.
They remained silent, not daring to answer.
The nine elders who had accompanied them had all seen Jiang Fan a few days earlier.
They naturally recognized him at a glance.
They had also heard of Jiang Fan’s significant connection to Tie Bubai’s death.
For a moment, they did not dare to answer.
Fang Taiji noticed the unusual behavior around him and frowned:
“What, should I not ask?”
“Or is it that…”
He seemed to realize something, his old eyes narrowing:
“I heard, there is a famous disciple named Jiang Fan lately.”
“My sect’s disciples have testified that he possesses a Purple Sword, suspected of killing Tie Bubai.”
“Young one, you… you wouldn’t be this Jiang Fan, would you?”
Old men were wise.
It was very difficult to deceive a Supreme Elder who had experienced countless things.
Jiang Fan sighed slightly.
When Xia Chaoge had discreetly shielded him, he had guessed the identity of this old man.
What was destined couldn’t be avoided.
He said calmly: “It is me.”
Fang Taiji’s deep eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light.
A massive force instantly struck Jiang Fan’s chest.
Jiang Fan’s heart chilled.
He had been on guard, his body trembled secretly, activating the Domineering Tiger Body.
The roaring of tigers echoed within his body.
The circulating massive force dissipated the incoming attack.
Even so, he was forced to take three steps back.
Fang Taiji’s gaze became fierce:
“You are indeed extraordinary!”
“An ordinary disciple would have spat out blood and been thrown off long ago.”
“But you only retreated three steps!”
“Unfortunately, you are not a disciple of my Giant Sect, and unfortunately, you killed my treasured apprentice.”
A deep murderous intent flashed in his murky old eyes.
“Senior Fang, please wait!”
The elder chosen from the Green Cloud Sect was Zhao Wuji.
He had already been nervous for Jiang Fan.
Seeing Fang Taiji’s murderous intent, he immediately stepped in front of Jiang Fan.
He cupped his hands and said: “Senior Fang, please quell your anger.”
“According to the playback of the Sky Monitoring Crystal, the testimony of your sect’s disciples is baseless.”
“My sect’s disciple Jiang Fan is innocent.”
“I ask Senior Fang to see reason.”
The elders of the other eight sects also spoke up.
“Senior Fang, I was present, and it is indeed as Elder Zhao said.”
“That day was indeed a misunderstanding, please do not wrong Jiang Fan.”
Thud—
Fang Taiji lightly tapped his toe on the ground.
A sharp explosive wind silenced their words.
“Do you think you can boss me around?”
His old face remained indifferent.
The murderous intent in his eyes did not diminish because of their persuasion.
Instead, it became even fiercer.
He said coldly: “I don’t need evidence to kill.”
“If I want, I do it.”
He took a step toward Jiang Fan.
With one foot down,
Zhao Wuji suddenly felt like being crushed under Mount Tai, his face turning pale, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
His face turned red.
“Senior Fang… please show mercy…”
He was pressed so hard he could barely speak.
Clenching his teeth, he forced a few words out through his teeth.
The other eight elders were not unafraid.
Fang Taiji was killing Outer Sect disciples at will.
But he had the qualification to be fearless of retaliation.
Because, throughout the Nine-Sect Land,
he was a top-five Supreme Elder.
The only one who could surely beat him was Xu Qingyang.
Xia Chaoge’s face turned cold, drawing his sword: “Senior Fang!”
“If you continue to be reckless, don’t blame me for being disrespectful!”
Liang Feiyan gritted her teeth.
She also decisively drew her sword: “Senior Fang! Is this how you wantonly disregard human life?”
Ouyang Jun, Xie Liushu, Hua Xiangchen, and Li Shiqian.
After a moment of struggle, they decisively drew their swords, standing firmly beside Jiang Fan.
They had all faced death on Boundary Mountain.
They were not afraid of dying.
Jiang Fan gave them a grateful look, saying: “Thank you.”
“But you all should step back.”
“I will handle him myself!”
This old man!
Without evidence, he wanted to kill him forcibly?
Could he be so easily killed now?
A Jade Talisman of a Nascent Soul Strike was rapidly activating within his sleeve.
These were meant to be used as killing devices on the battlefield.
Jiang Fan absolutely did not want to use them on his own people.
But the Giant Sect kept pushing too far.
And now this Supreme Elder Fang was openly trying to kill him.
He had no choice.
He had to waste one on him.
“Senior Fang, aren’t you afraid of startling the Demon Emperor Concubine by fighting here?”
Wu Manyue said coldly:
“If the task is ruined and the Demon Emperor’s Essence Blood ends up on the frontline,”
“how many heads do you have to spare?”
She looked at him with disdain.
This old man, couldn’t he distinguish the greater priority?
Personal grievances placed above the war between the two races?
Upon hearing this.
Fang Taiji’s eyes finally showed a hint of fear.
He could disregard the Nine-Sect people.
He feared no one.
But if he truly ruined things and angered the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion,
that would be troublesome.
The murderous intent in his eyes retreated like water, but his coldness did not diminish.
“After taking the Demon Emperor Concubine’s head, I will deal with you!”
Fang Taiji said indifferently.
He then walked slowly into the canyon with his hands behind his back.
Zhao Wuji wiped the blood from his mouth, turned to Jiang Fan, and gave him a quick signal to leave.
Only then did he follow the other elders into the canyon.
Once they were inside,
Liang Feiyan cursed: “Bullying with age!”
She turned to Jiang Fan, worried: “Junior Brother Jiang, ride the Demon Wolf back alone.”
“That old man is unreasonable.”
“Once the task is completed, he will definitely come after you.”
Jiang Fan shook his head.
A hint of coldness appeared in his eyes: “No.”
“Let’s complete the task first.”
Leave?
This old man openly wanted to kill him,
even injuring Elder Zhao.
Why should he be allowed to leave?
The Giant Sect missed Tie Bubai so much?
Then let them send a Supreme Elder down to reunite with him!
Liang Feiyan anxiously tried to persuade him.
Wu Manyue giggled and interrupted:
“Junior Brother Jiang, you should thank me for saving you just now.”
“How will you thank me?”
Her foxy eyes were full of teasing.
Jiang Fan chuckled: “You helped me?”
“You were saving that old man, Fang Taiji!”
