Chapter 1753

Meanwhile.

Jiang Fan, his face grim, teleported in front of her and slammed the Divine Wood he held in his hand onto her forehead. A dull thud echoed throughout heaven and earth. Jiang Fan scoffed:"You want prestige? Where were you when my Taicang Grand State fought with its back to the wall, time and again, in desperate situations? You don't earn prestige yourselves; instead, you suppress your fellow Central Land compatriots to prove how capable you are? Tianzhu State gathers all the resources of the Central Land, only to cultivate trash like you who only bully your own kind? You useless beings, living is a waste of the Central Land's spiritual energy; dying is a pollution of its soil!"Having said that, the Divine Wood in his hand swung out a series of afterimages. Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump... Amidst the teeth-grinding, dense thudding, Revered Tongxin fainted on the spot without even a scream, plummeting straight down from the sky and crashing heavily onto the ground.

With a loud thud, Revered Tongxin created a deep crater, where she lay unconscious, her limbs twitching and foam at her mouth. The entire scene was silent. The Tianzhu State powerhouses watching were utterly bewildered. Revered Tongxin lost? They had a dazed feeling as if Jiang Fan and Revered Tongxin had somehow swapped scripts. A Revered being in the Fifth Stage of Celestial Decay, pummeled by a newly advanced Soul Transformation expert in the Second Stage of Celestial Decay? Was this right? In the sky, the thudding sounds echoed, along with Jiang Fan's furious scolding. The Tianzhu State powerhouses were filled with shame and anger. They could tell that Jiang Fan was not just scolding Revered Tongxin but also all the defiant powerhouses of Tianzhu State. Revered Silver Moon's face turned cold: "Our Tianzhu State's dignity has been trampled by an outsider!" Revered Windchaser, however, didn't feel disgraced. On the contrary, he was genuinely somewhat grateful to Old Man Tianji. Jiang Fan was now ferociously powerful; even Revered beings in the Fifth Stage of Celestial Decay were dealt with without hesitation! If he had stubbornly insisted on killing Jiang Fan back then, incurring a blood feud, his troubles would have been immense.

Revered Compassion Mirror, who had been closely monitoring Jiang Fan's safety, was stunned. "It... it's over already?" Revered Compassion Mirror was astonished; she had been expecting Jiang Fan to falter and was ready to rescue him in time. Yet, in a single encounter, Revered Tongxin was mercilessly beaten. She finally understood why that unnamed Revered being from Taicang Grand State had told her to keep an eye on Revered Tongxin and prevent her from being beaten to death. Because Jiang Fan truly possessed the means to kill her. Fortunately, despite his anger, Jiang Fan maintained his rationality and did not deliver a killing blow. Although Revered Tongxin was repugnant to him, the animosity between them had not yet reached a life-or-death stage.

He glanced sideways at the Proprietor of Rivers and Mountains Manor in the distance, pursing his lips: "I've already finished my fight, and you're still playing around?" The Proprietor of Rivers and Mountains Manor retorted irritably: "Do you think everyone has heaven-defying treasures like you? Aren't you going to come help?" Revered Tonghun, currently engaged in battle, felt a chill run down his spine. How could his junior sister be immediately subdued by Jiang Fan in a single encounter? Seeing Jiang Fan teleporting towards him, Revered Tonghun roared, "Alright, you dare treat a Revered being of my Medicine God Palace like this? Just you wait and see!" He launched a soul attack, forcing back the Proprietor of Rivers and Mountains Manor, and prepared to teleport back to the Medicine God Palace to summon reinforcements. However, as soon as he moved, a palm as large as a small mountain descended without warning. It was the White Tiger, which had been lurking in the shadows all along. As early as when the two had come to provoke them, it had gone invisible, leaving them unprepared. Now, seeing Revered Tonghun about to flee, it materialized and struck. How could Revered Tonghun have guarded against an old trickster White Tiger hidden in the shadows? Caught completely off guard, he took a slap. *Pfft*—He was instantly sent spewing blood, his body rapidly plummeting.

The Proprietor of Rivers and Mountains Manor's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam. He pursued, piercing him through with a bone sword, causing blood to gush from his chest like a spring. Suffering severe consecutive blows, Revered Tonghun couldn't help but let out a miserable groan. But the next moment, a six-colored halo reversed its path upwards, severing him at the waist. "Argh!!!" The sudden ambush made him howl in pain. He quickly swallowed a drop of Heavenly Garment Divine Water to recover his body. However, just as the Heavenly Garment Divine Water reached his lips, a colorless small mountain rumbled down, crushing his upper body firmly onto the ground. The Heavenly Garment Divine Water slipped from his hand. Subsequently, there were three loud thuds. Jiang Fan, the Proprietor of Rivers and Mountains Manor, and the White Tiger collectively pressed down on the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain, pinning him beneath it.

Revered Tonghun roared in agony: "You're despicable! You ambushed me!" The White Tiger raised its paw, pointed to its ear, and then shook its head. Its gesture meant, "Sorry, I don't understand your human language." Jiang Fan spread his hands: "You used your body to hit my sword array; what was I supposed to do?" Revered Tonghun was so enraged he vomited blood. What was even more humiliating was that, far from suppressing Taicang Grand State, he and his junior sister were brutally beaten in front of the Tianzhu State powerhouses. The Medicine God Palace's reputation was completely ruined by the two of them. He shouted angrily: "Fellow Tianzhu State compatriots, what are you still waiting for? Are you really going to let people from Taicang Grand State ride on our heads and relieve themselves?" How could the already exasperated Tianzhu State powerhouses endure such a grave humiliation? They appeared one after another, converging towards the location!

Leading them was a middle-aged woman in the Fourth Stage of Celestial Decay. Her face cold, she declared: "Heavenly Talisman Sect, Yunji is specifically here to..." As she spoke, her expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly stopped. Because beside Jiang Fan, an old man in a patchwork robe, exuding the aura of a sage, had suddenly appeared. It was none other than Sage Tianluo! Although his eyes were dull, the oppressive, sage-like aura he emanated was undeniably real. All the Tianzhu State powerhouses attempting to demand an explanation were frightened into halting their steps. Even Revered Silver Moon, who had been eager to act, had flickering, uncertain eyes and dared not make any rash moves.

Jiang Fan looked at Revered Yunji, who was at the forefront, and said coldly: "You're specifically here to seek a challenge, aren't you? I'll grant it to you!" He patted Sage Tianluo's shoulder and instructed: "Kill her!" Revered Yunji was scared out of her wits and quickly stammered: "No, no, no, Fellow Daoist Jiang, you've misunderstood. I'm specifically here to pay my respects to you." Jiang Fan scoffed: "Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought you were going to champion those two idiots from the Medicine God Palace." Revered Yunji cautiously observed Sage Tianluo, and only after seeing no movement from him did she breathe a sigh of relief, offering an awkward smile: "How could I? These two Revered beings were utterly presumptuous and deserved to be suppressed by Fellow Daoist Jiang."

Jiang Fan looked at the other Tianzhu State powerhouses who had stopped midway and asked: "And what about you all? Is anyone here to champion them?" Everyone quickly retreated. "No, no." "We in Tianzhu State have no such arrogant scum who bully outsiders." "Indeed, thank you, Fellow Daoist Jiang, for teaching these two ignorant and rude fools a lesson on our behalf." "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you fought well, marvelously, splendidly!" Jiang Fan chuckled. Those who bully the weak will surely fear the strong! When dealing with them, only one thing is needed! Fists!

At this moment, the White Tiger jumped to the base of the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain, turned its back to Revered Tonghun, and spread its hind legs. Revered Tonghun's face turned green: "Wait, you damned tiger, what are you doing?" *Plop, plop, plop*—Amidst a sky-darkening stench, Revered Tonghun was buried under a large pile. Jiang Fan waved away the stench in front of his nose, disdainfully put away the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain, and said lightly: "You can't blame my White Tiger for this. You yourself said someone was relieving themselves on your head. It's merely fulfilling your wish."

Revered Tonghun was overwhelmed with shame and fury: "Jiang Fan! My Medicine God Palace will be irreconcilable with you!!!" Revered Compassion Mirror's expression subtly changed. This fellow truly had a death wish, still provoking Jiang Fan at such a moment. If he truly angered Jiang Fan, what if Jiang Fan killed him? Revered Compassion Mirror rushed over and scoffed: "Do you represent the Medicine God Palace? Stop bringing shame upon our Tianzhu State, and get back to the Medicine God Palace!" While seemingly a reprimand, it was actually to prevent the two from dying at Jiang Fan's hands. It was simply not worth it for Jiang Fan to incur trouble over such Revered beings.

However, no sooner had she spoken than a voice filled with cold intent echoed from the sky. "If my disciples cannot represent the Medicine God Palace, then who can?" Revered Compassion Mirror's delicate body trembled slightly, and her heart sank. He really did draw that old fellow out!
