Chapter 244 - Chapter 244 : "Why are you not afraid?"

This move is a divine ability from Fang Yuan's control over the Earth-type Dao body, **Thick Earth Kun Yuan Body**, known as **Sunken Abyss**.

 

Its divine effect is to amplify the gravitational pull of an area, thereby trapping enemies.

 

On top of this, Fang Yuan has also layered another divine ability: **Flying Whirlpool Cloud**.

 

Back when Fang Yuan was just a Great Master, he was able to use **Flying Whirlpool Cloud** and the gravitational pull to smash Yan Taizu's head in close combat.

 

Now, with his strength as a Half-Step Martial Saint, the power of the force field he unleashes is even stronger, and with the added gravitational amplification of the **Thick Earth Kun Yuan Body**, the ability to restrain enemies becomes terrifying!

 

Even the most powerful Great Masters would be unable to escape this, and weaker ones would be crushed into a meat paste. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal descending would be powerless to reverse the situation.

 

"This is the consequence of defying me..." Fang Yuan locked this area, feeling a cat-and-mouse-like joy. He cast his gaze towards King Jin Tianhao of Baiji: "It seems you are also quite interested in my sword?"

 

King Jin Tianhao of Baiji, at this moment, felt a cold sweat run down his back as Fang Yuan's killing intent locked onto him. He felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave!

 

However, he didn't beg for mercy, but instead shouted towards the two Saints of the Federation: "Masters, Baiji is willing to submit to the Federation! Please spare my life!"

 

He knew very well that begging Fang Yuan for mercy would be the same as repeating the same mistake as You Ren, and now, his only hope for survival was seeking external help, perhaps there was a slim chance.

 

At this moment, the strongest external aid in the hall were likely the Saints from the Federation.

 

When everyone else scattered in panic, only Anthony and Sheila stood still, unmoving.

 

They had not run because they had enough confidence—confidence that came from being Saints of the Church!

 

As the long-standing hegemon of the Western Continent, the Federation had long been accustomed to applying their dominance everywhere they went.

 

In their mindset, it was always the Federation bullying others, and no one dared to bully the Federation!

 

Even in the face of the terrifying Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, they still maintained a tough stance.

 

However, when they heard King Jin Tianhao's cry for help, Anthony and Sheila instantly felt their muscles tense, keeping their heads down and remaining silent.

 

The two martial masters had essentially forced themselves to play deaf.

 

Tough or not, there was no need to throw their lives away. They were trapped in the **Sunken Abyss** field as well and could deeply feel the terrifying power of Fang Yuan's divine abilities.

 

That was a power beyond even what Great Masters could achieve!

 

It was clear that Fang Yuan had already made up his mind to take King Jin Tianhao's life. If they intervened, they would just follow him to the afterlife!

 

That was not necessary; they still had to stay alive to assist the Pope!

 

"Masters, Masters!" King Jin Tianhao cried out in desperation, but upon seeing Anthony and Sheila's response, he finally realized they had no intention of saving him.

 

In desperation, King Jin Tianhao turned his gaze back to Fang Yuan, forcing a smile similar to You Ren's, about to speak: "Sigh..."

 

Before he could finish the word, a flash of white light exploded like lightning, tearing through the vacuum, and suddenly erupted upon his body!!

 

Puchi!

 

The sharp cut from the Earth Sword struck as expected, and King Jin Tianhao's face froze in an instant. A white line appeared from top to bottom of his body!

 

Fang Yuan kindly gave King Jin Tianhao a 'middle parting' hairstyle, and his body was instantly cleaved into two, becoming a mess of limbs and torso.

 

But immediately, the severed body began to tremble violently, as something seemed to be surging beneath his robes.

 

It was obvious that King Jin Tianhao possessed a life-saving divine ability similar to You Ren's, and even though he had been cleaved in half, he was not entirely dead.

 

However, Fang Yuan had already lost interest in probing into King Jin Tianhao's hidden trump cards. He simply snapped his fingers.

 

Boom!

 

A blazing gold crow fire instantly erupted on King Jin Tianhao's body, quickly spreading into a raging inferno!

 

"Ah!!!"

 

King Jin Tianhao's heartbreaking screams came from within the flames, and just like Jin Dahuan before him, another member of the Jin family fell into the pit of agony.

 

His screams gradually faded, and the **Sutra of the Good Man** wrote down the words:

 

[Slay the tyrant of the enemy kingdom, good deed points +200,000]

 

In the blink of an eye, two enemy kings perished at Fang Yuan's hands. Fang Yuan's gaze shifted, and he looked at Anthony and Sheila not far away, casually saying:

 

"To be a hero, one must pay the price. Why didn't you two run?"

 

Feeling Fang Yuan's gaze, Anthony suppressed the fear surging within him, swallowed hard, and forced himself to respond: "Because we are not afraid."

 

He kept hyping himself up, telling himself not to lose face for the Pope, and that he had to appear tough!

 

"Oh? Why are you not afraid?" Fang Yuan asked with genuine interest.

 

"Because we come from the Church," Sheila quickly added, her head lowered, her voice trembling slightly. "The Federation Church, the strongest nation on the Western Continent, and our Pope's strength far surpasses that of a Great Master."

 

"Besides, we have no grudge with you or your Xia Kingdom... Surely, you are a sensible person and wouldn't make things difficult for us."

 

"No grudge?" Hearing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh, "Your Simon and his group of foreign martial artists invaded my Xia Kingdom, took one of my provinces, slaughtered my people, and you dare say there's no grudge?"

 

"Lord, that was still during the time of the Yan Kingdom, not the Xia Kingdom." Anthony hurriedly explained, "That was a matter of the previous dynasty, and has nothing to do with your current nation..."

 

"That's right, moreover, Simon's actions also destabilized the Yan Kingdom's foundation, which could be seen as a contribution to your future destruction of the Yan Kingdom," Sheila quickly chimed in.

 

"Oh, so I should thank you, then? Without the Federation's contribution, I wouldn't have been able to establish the Xia Kingdom?"

 

Even though Fang Yuan was usually calm, he couldn't help but laugh in anger at their absurd statements.

 

Anthony realized the anger in Fang Yuan's words, but as a Saint of the Church, his past sense of superiority made him, almost involuntarily, force out two words:

 

"Not necessarily!!!"

 

"Good, very good!" Fang Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, clearly feeling that these two had a completely different worldview and moral compass from his, and it was impossible to communicate with them.

 

"Since that's the case, then let me properly thank the two of you!" Fang Yuan's eyes instantly turned blood-red, and a chilling aura spread, the corruption power filling his body and dyeing the whole sky crimson!

 

At that moment, a blood-red storm suddenly appeared out of nowhere, transforming into an apocalyptic vortex descending from the heavens, sweeping toward Fang Yuan!

 

Within the storm, a figure could be faintly seen, roaring in anger: "Emperor of the Xia Kingdom, how dare you kill my master! Do you know who he is?!"

 

Wind Erosion Venerable had been stationed at the border for years. Even though he was late to the emperor's coronation, who could have predicted that the moment he arrived, he would witness such a massacre!

 

Filled with rage, he immediately decided to take action against Fang Yuan!
