In the end, the two were evenly matched. If Ye Yanran had not used the Tianlin Divine Healing Technique in advance, she might have been injured by the opponent's palm.
As expected of being one of the only seven remaining elders in Shenlao Peak, Ao Fangchen is indeed powerful!
"You are Mu Hanyan. You are indeed capable. You can even block my palm." Ao Fangchen did not take Mu Hanyan seriously and said with a sneer.
"Thank you for your praise, senior. I don't know you at all. I don't know why you are looking for me and why you hurt my companions?" Mu Hanyan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Glancing at the crowd, Mu Hanyan realized that Zhuang Ping'an and the others had only been repelled by Ao Fangchen and weren't seriously injured. This relieved her. It seemed that even though Ao Fangchen had defied the ban and reached Holy Sword Peak, he still had some reservations and didn't dare to hurt anyone.
"Mu Hanyan, you still dare to play dumb at this point. What kind of deep hatred do you have against my disciple Han Yutang? You actually injured him so badly that his limbs were broken, his qi sea was shattered, and all his cultivation was wasted!" Ao Fangchen shouted harshly.
Initially, he felt quite helpless about Han Yutang's actions, and simply felt that it was unfortunate to have accepted such a troublesome apprentice. However, he was, after all, his last disciple, and the descendant of two sworn brothers. Seeing him being carried back in gravely injured, Ao Fangchen could not help but feel furious.
When he was asking for help, he heard the whispers of others, which made him feel humiliated. If he could not seek justice for his disciple, how could he, the only remaining elder of Shenlao Peak, face people?
"So Senior Brother Han is the senior's disciple. He was indeed seriously injured. I saw it with my own eyes. But he was clearly injured by the siege of strange beasts. What does it have to do with me?" Mu Hanyan was overjoyed. She thought Han Yutang was lucky to escape, but she didn't expect him to be injured so badly and become a cripple. It really is true that evil will be punished.
"Hmph, I have already rescued Yu Tang and know a thing or two about what happened in the Beast Soul Pool. You are all safe and sound, and everyone has received a sword pet, but my apprentice was seriously injured under the siege of strange beasts. Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with you?" Ao Fangchen snorted coldly.
"Since the senior also knows what happened in the Beast Soul Pool, he should also know what Han Yutang did. We were lucky enough to save our lives and obtain the sword pet. That was our chance. Han Yutang was seriously injured, and it was his own fault. Why blame me?" Mu Hanyan put away her smile and said with a sneer.
It would be fine if Ao Fangchen didn't know what happened in the Beast Soul Pool, but since he rescued Han Yutang and said he knew a thing or two about the Beast Soul Pool, she should know what he had done. If she didn't happen to have a sword pet who was the young master of the Qilin, perhaps these more than one hundred descendants of the gods' guardians would have all been harmed by him and died in the Beast Soul Illusion.
He actually had the nerve to come and cause trouble for her, he was so shameless!
"Hmph, Yu Tang was just a little willful, and he didn't really hurt you. But you broke all his limbs and destroyed his cultivation. It was obvious that you intended to harm him." Ao Fangchen said righteously.
"Old man, are you being reasonable?" Mu Hanyan couldn't help but raise her voice.
Han Yutang's actions clearly meant to put them to death, but because they were safe and sound, Ao Fangchen saw them as just being willful, like children playing house. What was the logic behind this? It was a shame that this old man was still hailed as a god. He was too protective of his own shortcomings.
No wonder Han Yutang is already seventeen or eighteen years old, but still behaves so recklessly and doesn't take other people's lives seriously at all. He has been spoiled by them.
"Reason, do you have the qualifications to reason with me?" Ao Fangchen looked at Mu Hanyan with contempt and said, "I don't know what shameful means you used to destroy Yu Tang's limbs and cultivation, but killing someone means paying with a life, and debts mean paying with money. I won't kill you, I'll just break your limbs and destroy your cultivation. This is my reason."
Although he said it lightly, it gave people a feeling of being so domineering.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others' expressions changed. The strong are respected, which is the eternal truth of the Holy Court Continent. For Ao Fangchen, his strength is the real truth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ao Fangchen flew up and slapped Mu Hanyan again.
Unlike the previous palm strike towards Hua Yue and the others, this palm strike was definitely not just a deterrent. He used at least 80% of his strength and was determined to cripple Mu Hanyan with one palm strike.
The wind and clouds were surging on the Holy Sword Peak, and the powerful aura made it almost impossible to breathe.
Mu Hanyan took a deep breath and drew out the Hanxiao Sword again. Hua Yue and others gathered around her and performed sword techniques at the same time.
Zhuang Ping'an and the others didn't hesitate at all and gathered behind him, drawing their swords and summoning their sword pets. However, under that terrifying aura, even their sword pets trembled with fear and didn't dare to make a sound.
Mu Hanyan's expression grew grave. Ao Fangchen was too powerful. Even if she once again combined the strength of everyone else, he still wouldn't be her opponent. But she had no choice. Ao Fangchen was right. Here, he was the one who was right, because he had that kind of strength.
"Elder Ao, I wonder if I am qualified to reason with you?" At this moment, a figure flashed before his eyes, and Jian Wuchen was already standing in front of Mu Hanyan.
"Jian Wuchen, do you want to protect her?" Ao Fangchen suddenly withdrew his hand and looked at Jian Wuchen with a gloomy expression.
They have known each other for thousands of years and are of the same generation, so they don't want to turn against each other easily.
"No, I just want to talk some sense with you." Jian Wuchen said with a calm smile, holding an ancient sword.
"Hahahaha, do you think you have the qualifications to reason with me?" Ao Fangchen didn't want to turn against Jian Wuchen easily, but that didn't mean he was afraid of him. In fact, he didn't take Jian Wuchen, whose meridians in his right arm were completely damaged, seriously, nor was he interested in talking nonsense with him.
"What are you doing?" Jin Qisheng grabbed Jian Wuchen. He knew Jian Wuchen's injuries best. He knew that although his cultivation level was still there, his right arm was completely disabled and he could not use his sword skills at all. If he fought, he would definitely not be a match for Ao Fangchen.
No matter how resentful he was, he didn't want Jian Wuchen to be injured by Ao Fangchen.
"You should step aside first. This old man will not recognize anyone when he is angry. Be careful not to hurt you." Jian Wuchen was moved by the anxiety in his eyes. He said gently and walked straight towards Ao Fangchen.
"Jian Wuchen, it looks like you want to fight with me? If it was a thousand years ago, you would have been qualified, after all, you were one of the two saints who had the greatest hope of succeeding the position of Holy Lord. But now, you are no longer qualified." Ao Fangchen said contemptuously, with a flash of hostility in his eyes.
