Chapter 355 - 191: Han Fashou
Though the two of them were proud and arrogant, the man before them was Han Fashou—the one prophesied by True Man Yan Tian to be born of fate, destined to revive the White Bone Demon Sect!
Indeed, the three men present were from the Profound Yellow Realm. More than that, they were True Disciples of the White Bone Demon Sect, one of the four great Demon Sects.
Han Fashou’s expression remained unchanged. Without any other preamble, he simply asked, "Min Ran, are you saying that Xuzhuang just appeared here?"
Min Ran replied in a solemn voice, "Exactly."
As the most prominent Daozi of the Tai Su Orthodox Sect of his generation, Xuzhuang had long attracted the attention of many within the four great Demon Sects.
While alone in Mang Mountain, he had foiled the Demon Intent Sect’s grand plan, causing the fall of their first Nascent Soul True Disciple since their reemergence in Dongsheng. He had also destroyed a Yin Mountain Venerable Demon that the sect had spent a century refining. It could be said that he had dealt a savage blow to the Demon Intent Sect’s momentum.
Though these feats had not caused a frenzy across the Divine Continent, they had sent considerable shockwaves through his peers in the four great Demon Sects.
In truth, Min Ran and the others had recently been away from the Profound Yellow Realm and were unaware that Xuzhuang’s avatar had once again made his name known across the Divine Continent. Otherwise, they would have been even more wary.
Han Fashou closed his eyes and said faintly, "No wonder I suddenly had a premonition on my way here. I fear this trip may end in failure."
Junior Brother Ying licked his lips. "I never thought this Tai Su Daozi would actually show up here."
He glanced at Han Fashou. "If someone like him were to fall here..."
Han Fashou didn’t respond. Instead, a contemplative look suddenly appeared on his face. After a long silence, he abruptly spoke. "Formidable. Truly formidable."
Min Ran and Ying Fang were both stunned.
Han Fashou opened his eyes again. He raised his head to gaze at some unknown point in the distance, staring blankly for a moment before bursting into wild laughter. "I used the Innate White Bone Divine Calculation forty-nine times to divine the outcome of pursuing and fighting this man, and the result was my death thirty-nine times?"
"What?" Min Ran and Ying Fang were utterly horrified. Han Fashou’s talent was truly unmatched in the White Bone Demon Sect for the last thousand years. Not only had he reached the Nascent Soul Third Layer, but he had also mastered the Innate White Bone Divine Calculation, granting him, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the ability to comprehend the secrets of heaven.
Yet, when Han Fashou used the Innate White Bone Divine Calculation to divine a battle with Xuzhuang, he had reached the conclusion that he would die at Xuzhuang’s hands thirty-nine times—not just be defeated. Didn’t that mean—
That Xuzhuang’s Divine Techniques were very likely superior to Han Fashou’s?
Although Xuzhuang already had a record of slaying Chi Ming and nearly crippling Shao Ying, figures like Chi Ming and Shao Ying could hardly be compared to Han Fashou, even if they had reached the Nascent Soul Third Layer.
Was the Tai Su Daozi, with his thousand years of immortal grace, truly so inhumanly powerful?
Min Ran remained silent, but Ying Fang shuddered, a cold dread washing over him. ’If I had chased after him just now...’ he couldn’t help but think.
Han Fashou withdrew his gaze, his eyelids half-closed. The wild laughter was gone, replaced by a calm demeanor. He said faintly, "It seems now is not the perfect opportunity to kill him."
"Go. Find me other precious materials. It will not be too late to challenge this man after I have refined my Bone Demon God."
Min Ran shook his head and acknowledged the order. Ying Fang’s expression, however, turned bitter.
Refining a Bone Demon God was not an insurmountable task, but how could Han Fashou’s requirements be the same as an ordinary person’s?
He insisted on using the skeletal remains of six cultivators who had not only formed a Top-grade Golden Core but also reached the peak of the Nascent Soul realm as his precious materials. Only this would satisfy his ambition of refining a Supreme Divine Technique for his Bone Demon God.
But where were they supposed to find so many individuals who met such demanding requirements?
Even the most useless Top-grade Golden Core cultivator... but there was no such thing as a useless Top-grade Golden Core. Even a Loose Cultivator without access to high-level methods deserved praise for successfully forming one, let alone reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul realm. A person like that was already a major figure in their own right.
Even Wang Jiao, whom Ying Fang looked down upon, actually had a bit of a reputation in Weiyun Immortal City.
However, he couldn’t easily refuse Han Fashou’s command. Never mind Han Fashou’s transcendent status; he also owed his Senior Brother a favor.
Ying Fang replied listlessly, "Yes, Senior Brother."
