However, Xu Weixiong and her group were furious.
That Han Shengxuan, how dare he distort the truth like this! Talking about killing Li Yang's common people?
Those killed by Master Fahai, what kind of Li Yang common people were they?!
Xu Weixiong's expression was cold: "Han Diaosi, before you act, do you not investigate the full story?"
"Master Fahai acted only to save me."
"Someone was plotting against me, which is why Master Fahai had to intervene."
"Is Han Diaosi too reckless to impose punishment without distinguishing right from wrong?"
"Or perhaps, you already know something, which is why you are so eager to jump to conclusions."
"If you truly want to find out the truth, you can investigate the true identities of those assassins."
Han Shengxuan chuckled: "I have already found out."
"It is precisely for this reason that His Majesty ordered me to take Fahai's life."
"Fahai, what else do you want to say?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Weixiong's face grew cold.
"They truly have no shame."
Those who assassinated her were clearly secret agents sent by Zhao Gou.
It was the Li Yang Emperor himself who personally set up the trap.
They deliberately concealed the truth, simply to put Fahai to death! At this point, reasoning was futile.
Xu Weixiong stood in front of Fahai, her gaze firm, without any intention of retreating.
"Fahai saved my life, and I will never stand by and do nothing."
Han Shengxuan, however, had a calm expression and shook his head slightly.
"Fahai harmed my Li Yang subjects, a crime for which he deserves death."
"Let alone you, Xu Weixiong, even if Xu Xiao himself came, he would never stop me from killing the criminal."
Han Diaosi's intention was already clear.
Today, Fahai was doomed to die!
Xu Weixiong stepped forward, coldly staring at Han Shengxuan.
Fahai, however, smiled, "To condemn one, what need is there for evidence?"
"Indeed, you are 'Human Cat' Han Diaosi."
"Even killing requires a grand and proper reason."
Han Shengxuan looked at Fahai, with a hint of surprise.
This young monk, indeed, had extraordinary courage.
His name, "Human Cat," was a deterrent throughout the Li Yang Jianghu.
Ordinary Martial Forest practitioners would be terrified upon seeing him.
Yet, this Fahai, knowing he was there to take his life, remained composed.
Truly rare.
Han Shengxuan's lips curved slightly, revealing a smile.
"As expected of the Demon Monk Fahai, renowned throughout the Jianghu, his spirit is indeed extraordinary."
"What a pity…"
Once Han Diaosi made his move, even if Fahai's talent was exceptional, he would still be unable to escape death! But Fahai's expression remained as usual, and he spoke lightly:
"No pity."
"Because you cannot kill me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene fell silent.
Countless eyes stared at Fahai in shock.
Where did he get such confidence to be so self-assured?
How dare he say that Han Diaosi could not do anything to him?
One must know, that was Han Diaosi!
The sharpest weapon in the Li Yang Emperor's hand!
Every time he had acted before, he had never failed.
Even famous experts in the Jianghu had been dealt with by him one by one!
How could Fahai be so certain, daring to say that Han Diaosi could not kill him?
Han Diaosi, after hearing this, was first stunned, then chuckled and shook his head.
"Fahai, this is your first time in our Li Yang, perhaps you still don't understand."
"However, today you will understand how ridiculous your boast is."
"I will send you on your way now, let you be reborn in the Pure Land, whether you become a Buddha or an Ancestor!"
The last few words, his tone suddenly turned cold. In an instant, the Aura of a Celestial swept out!
A cold, evil Qi suddenly spread out, covering all directions like a tide, boundless!
As that Celestial pressure descended, everyone in the inn felt a tightness in their chests, almost unable to breathe.
At the same time, Han Diaosi had already made his move, his palm transforming into a Sharp Weapon, arriving with the wind!
His python robe rustled, his five fingers clasped together like an eagle's talons, striking directly at Fahai!
Although he only used his Physical Body, his Aura was sharp, tearing through the Void Realm, like a divine Sharp Weapon unsheathed!
Xu Weixiong's eyes flickered, a hint of shock flashing through them.
This was the strength of the "Human Cat"?
It was so terrifying, could Fahai withstand it?
Just at this moment, a low shout rang out.
"Kasaya!"
The next moment, the Kasaya on Fahai's body burst with golden light! Allowing Han Shengxuan's Sharp Weapon to fall!
However, the Kasaya was unharmed.
Instead, Han Shengxuan was forced back several steps, causing a stir throughout the entire scene!
That was a full-force strike from a Celestial!
And not a Celestial like Zhuge Zhengwo, who barely crossed the threshold!
But a strike from the world-renowned "Human Cat," the three-realm Celestial Han Shengxuan! Not only did it fail to harm Fahai, but it also forced him back!
Truly a Prodigy!
It seems the Jianghu rumors were actually true! Fahai truly cut down a Celestial!
No wonder Tianji Old Man personally commented that his combat power was comparable to a Celestial! Fahai was indeed a rare Genius in a hundred years, too astonishing!
"Hiss—Fahai really killed a Celestial!"
"The rumors were not false after all!"
"To cut down a Celestial in the Grandmaster Realm, this young man is simply unmatched!"
"Such a person, in five hundred years, is probably the only one!"
Hearing the gradually boiling discussions in the inn, Han Diaosi revealed a cold smile.
Fahai blocking that strike and forcing him back did surprise him for a moment.
But how many Prodigies had he seen, and when had he ever feared anyone.
Although Fahai could be called a rare Genius, he only possessed the power of a Celestial.
And he, Han Shengxuan, was a true three-realm Celestial!
Suppressing Fahai was merely a matter of raising his hand.
No matter how powerful a Prodigy, he would still ultimately die!
Han Diaosi stared at the Kasaya on Fahai's body, his heart already clear.
"Your Kasaya is indeed a good thing."
A treasure that could block a Celestial's strike was rare in the world.
"Since that's the case, I won't be polite."
Fahai listened, and smiled coldly.
"If you can take it, it's yours."
"Tianlong Tattoo!"
Behind Fahai, a majestic and grand Tianlong totem suddenly appeared! The Tianlong raised its head and roared, shaking the clouds, soaring straight into the sky!
A majestic giant Dragon soared into the sky, its roar shaking heaven and earth, intimidating the surrounding crowd!
At the same time, the Tianlong coiled and ascended above the Void Realm, and the True Qi within Fahai's body surged and swelled! In an instant, he actually stepped into the Grandmaster of the Ninth Rank Realm!
At this moment, all the onlookers were dumbfounded, their expressions astonished.
This was too outrageous?
He just advanced to the Grandmaster of the Ninth Rank?!
"Since you don't believe it, then this poor monk will let you experience firsthand what it means to have combat power comparable to a Celestial!"
"Zhang Liu Golden Body!"
Fahai took a step forward, golden light shining behind him, converging into form!
A nine-zhang tall Buddha Golden Body slowly emerged, its Qi vast and boundless, its Aura sweeping out like a tide, making people uneasy and breathless!
"Rulai Divine Palm!"
A huge golden palm print fell from the sky, its lines clear, its light brilliant, like a miracle descending!
That strike carried a destructive power, almost on par with a Celestial!
Everyone present was terrified, their eyes filled with shock and fear. This level of power was indeed unmatched below the Celestial Realm!
At this moment, they truly understood the meaning of Tianji Old Man's words! How could this be a unique skill that an ordinary Grandmaster could display?
"Fahai is truly a Prodigy among Prodigies!"
"Tianji Old Man's evaluation was indeed no exaggeration!"
"Does Fahai really have the strength to compete with Han Diaosi?"
Amidst the crowd's discussions, Xu Weixiong also found it hard to hide her surprised expression.
Xu Weixiong was proud and arrogant, and among her peers, only Fahai made her truly admire him!
Even her elder brother, Chen Zhibao, the head of the six adopted sons under King of Northern Liang Xu Xiao, known as "Little Human Butcher," had never made her so impressed.
"Fahai, indeed, gathers the Luck of heaven and earth in one body, destined to be a peerless Genius renowned in this era…"
Xu Weixiong murmured, her resolve growing firmer in her heart.
For the stability of Northern Liang, for the foundation of the Xu Family, they must recruit Fahai for their own use.
Facing the palm descending from the sky, carrying monstrous power, Han Diaosi's face also couldn't help but show a hint of shock!
He clearly hadn't expected that Fahai, merely a Great Grandmaster, could unleash such a terrifying strike!
Truly rare!
