Fang Han's sword energy, carrying a world-destroying force, slashed fiercely towards the Iron Monk not far away.

Upon seeing this, the Iron Monk's face instantly turned ashen, but a sly and composed glint flashed in his eyes.

Just as the sword energy was about to strike him, a layer of mysterious and dazzling runic light suddenly appeared on his body.

The light was like a huge golden shield, tightly enveloping him and faintly exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

"Hmph, this guy actually has a protective magic item hidden on him!"

Xiang Wantang, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

However, Fang Han's sword energy was no ordinary thing.

The sword energy was like an extremely sharp scalpel, precisely and mercilessly cutting into the runic light.

Despite the runic light's valiant resistance, emitting a buzzing sound, it ultimately could not withstand Fang Han's fierce sword energy attack.

With a crisp cracking sound, the rune's light was easily shattered in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the seemingly indestructible armor on the Iron Monk's body was also mercilessly torn open with huge gashes under the ravages of Fang Han's sword energy, as if it were a tattered cloth torn by a gale.

Iron Monk felt an immense force impacting his body, as if his internal organs were being shredded. He instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and plummeted to the ground like a falling meteor.

At this critical moment, he suddenly shouted: "Golden Crow!"

His voice was filled with fear and urgency.

Upon hearing the Iron Monk's shout, the Golden Crow, which had been circling in the nearby sky, understood and immediately let out a sharp cry, flying towards the Iron Monk like an arrow released from a bow.

It had been injured, but after taking the Iron Monk's elixir, it had basically recovered.

Despite the excruciating pain, the Iron Monk leaped up with all his might, like a wounded eagle, and landed steadily on the broad back of the Golden Crow.

"This guy was no match for Fang Han and could only flee in a sorry state!"

Xiang Wantang's heart stirred.

But how could Fang Han let Tie Heshang get his wish so easily?

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he uttered a low shout: "Eight Desolations Slash!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Han moved like lightning and quickly caught up with Tie Heshang.

He swung his longsword sharply, and an even sharper and more domineering sword aura roared out.

This sword strike was his secret technique, containing all his true energy and boundless killing intent.

For ordinary people, using secret techniques is undoubtedly a huge drain on their energy. Often, after using them three to five times, they will be exhausted and in dire straits.

But Fang Han was different. His cultivation method was unique, and his true energy was extremely powerful, allowing him to use secret techniques almost without limit.

Moreover, the secret techniques within the Eight Desolations Sword Art consume far less true energy than the secret techniques of the Creation Sword Art.

Fang Han's sword strike was not aimed directly at the Iron Monk, but rather cleverly at the Golden Crow beneath the Iron Monk's feet.

The golden crow seemed to sense the threat of death, letting out a terrified cry and desperately trying to escape, but it was all too late.

The sword energy resembled a giant scythe, instantly severing half of the golden crow's body.

With a miserable cry, the golden crow plummeted from the sky like a boulder.

Iron Monk, along with Golden Crow, fell heavily from the sky.

His face was filled with terror, and his eyes were filled with despair, as if he could already see his own death.

But just then, a flash of sword light appeared before him, and an extremely sharp sword appeared in front of him.

It turns out that even as he fell, the Iron Monk didn't forget to use his sword-controlling technique in an attempt to escape again.

He desperately stomped his feet on the flying sword, but before he could even get a firm footing, Fang Han's Azure Dragon Sword was already at his neck like lightning.

The cold blade pressed against his skin, making him shiver involuntarily.

"Young man...please...please don't kill me..."

The iron monk stared wide-eyed in terror, his voice trembling like a leaf falling in the autumn wind, and he hurriedly began to plead.

At this moment, he was no longer the arrogant and domineering man he once was. He was like a tiger whose teeth had been pulled out, becoming incredibly docile and pitiful.

Under the powerful suppression of Fang Han's Azure Dragon Sword, Iron Monk felt an invisible pressure rushing towards him, making it impossible for him to resist.

He could only helplessly descend slowly from the air, then his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground, almost kneeling in front of Fang Han, looking as pathetic as could be.

This great monk is the number one expert in the Wujin Kingdom, the national teacher revered by everyone in the Jinwu Kingdom, and one of the strongest figures on the Qiankun Continent.

He was usually aloof and imposing, inspiring awe in others.

But now, they were easily defeated by Fang Han in a crushing manner. This huge contrast left Xiang Wantang, Xiaoyao Wang, Wang Dingtian and others dumbfounded, and they even doubted whether they were hallucinating.

"Who's your brother?"

Fang Han glanced coldly at the Iron Monk, his eyes filled with disdain and disgust.

Before retrieving the Azure Dragon Sword, he unleashed several lightning-fast finger strikes, precisely sealing the Iron Monk's true energy.

Iron Monk felt a wave of weakness and soreness throughout his body. He had no strength left to escape or resist, and could only obediently await Fang Han's judgment like a lamb to the slaughter.

"Your Excellency, I am the Grand Preceptor of the Golden Crow Kingdom. If you release me, the Golden Crow Kingdom can offer you many benefits. We can even invite you to become a prince in the Golden Crow Kingdom, or to establish your own sect and enjoy endless wealth and glory."
