Chapter 450: Chapter 216: Breakthrough to Dharma Aspect! Unlocking a Talent!

BOOM!

The pill was clasped in his hand.

Countless bolts of lightning raged and surged everywhere.

A potent heavenly might enveloped him as destructive bolts of lightning crackled erratically across his body.

The pristine white pill now seemed even more sacred. It struggled in Chen Xuan’s grasp as if it were sentient and trying to escape, but it couldn’t break free in the slightest.

Master Wuxiang, the Abbot of Fahong Temple, turned to Chen Xuan with a look of shock and fury. He roared, "Who are you? How dare you steal my pill?"

He was simply furious.

This Heaven Repairing Pill... it had taken him countless days and all his effort to create. The moment it was complete, it had drawn down a Thunder Tribulation. Now, before the tribulation had even passed, someone had snatched the pill.

How could he possibly accept this?

He had already committed too many evil deeds just to keep this pill for himself.

He had even sent men to sow discord among the Yun family, Tianling Hall, and Longshan City.

’And now someone else has appeared to snatch the pill?’

"Your pill?"

Chen Xuan’s expression was placid. "You’re mistaken," he said. "This is my pill. The Yun family gifted it to me long ago!"

"That’s right, Master Wuxiang! I gave that Heaven Repairing Pill to Young Hero Chen. If you want to study it, you’ll have to see if he agrees!"

The Yun family’s Ancestor below roared with laughter.

’I visited him several times, only to be turned away.’

’Fahong Temple even hired people, both openly and in secret, to move against us...’

’Now the tables have turned. A stronger, more ruthless man has appeared. Fahong Temple, you’re finished!’

"What?"

Master Wuxiang’s heart lurched. He stared at Chen Xuan.

"You... you’re Chen Xuan? As in, Yama Chen?"

He hastily glanced down, and his shock deepened. His mind reeled as if struck by a thousand bolts of lightning.

The entire Fahong Temple was in ruins.

Buildings had collapsed, the ground shattered.

There was no sign of a single disciple.

Not just living people—even corpses were few and far between.

The air hung thick with the smell of scorched earth, as if it had just been incinerated.

On the ground were three bloody, mangled messes.

On closer inspection, who else could they be but the three Head Priests?

’Fahong Temple... has been annihilated?’

Master Wuxiang’s face went white as a sheet. He stumbled backward, staring at Chen Xuan, his voice trembling. "Yama Chen, you... aren’t your methods too vicious?"

"Vicious? I don’t think so."

Chen Xuan clutched the pill and shook his head gently. "When I arrived, I spoke to them politely. I came to retrieve the pill, but they refused to be reasonable. Not only that, they trapped me in a killing formation and tried to refine me to death. What choice did I have but to see things through to the end? Besides, it’s not like Fahong Temple is innocent. To keep the pill for yourselves, you conspired with Tianling Hall and Longshan City to destroy the Yun family. You threw the first punch, so don’t complain when someone hits back harder!"

"You... That’s utter nonsense! We did no such thing."

Master Wuxiang hurriedly defended himself.

"Whether you did or not is no longer important."

Chen Xuan’s eyes, a metallic gold, were cold as he looked at Master Wuxiang. "Fahong Temple is already destroyed by my hand. As its abbot, I will grant you a dignified death. Come. Fight me with everything you have. Let the heroes watching see that Fahong Temple didn’t raise any cowards!"

"You!"

Master Wuxiang’s shock and fury mounted. He quickly glanced into the distance.

With his strength as an Outer Saint Ninth Layer expert, he could easily see the hazy figures of a crowd in the distance.

An unknown number of people were gathered there, watching the events unfold from a great distance.

Among them were many factions that were on good terms with them!

’And not a single one of those factions is coming to help?’

A wave of grief and indignation washed over Master Wuxiang.

’How fickle people are!’

’How utterly fickle!’

’To think that Fahong Temple has been providing Alchemy services to all these powers for so long... some we’ve worked with for over a thousand years.’

’Yet today, as Fahong Temple faces annihilation, they all just stand by and watch?’

"Aren’t you afraid of retribution?" Master Wuxiang roared toward the distance.

In the distance, many of the onlookers sneered inwardly.

’Retribution?’

’We paid you for your Alchemy services. It’s not like you did us some great favor.’

’Every time we came to you for Alchemy, didn’t we leave full of frustration?’

’Sometimes, pills would just... disappear during the refining process...’

’That’s right, just gone.’

’If we asked why they were gone...’

’Fahong Temple could never give an explanation.’

’In short, how many pills have they skimmed off the top over the years?’

’They’re getting what they deserve now that someone is wiping them out!’

"Enough talk. Prepare to receive my punch with everything you’ve got."

Chen Xuan cut him off. "Remember, this punch will be incredibly powerful. You can start burning your life force, use a Forbidden Technique, whatever you need. You can also run. I’ll give you a count of three. After three, I will unleash my punch with full force!"

"One!"

He immediately started counting.

Master Wuxiang was once again shocked and enraged.

But he also knew this Yama Chen was ruthless and a man of his word.

’If I waste any more time talking, I’ll probably die before I even know what hit me.’

SWOOSH!

Master Wuxiang turned and fled, moving at extreme speed.

It was like teleportation.

He shot out an unknown distance, traversing space itself. In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of miles away.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Xuan’s eyes.

"Three!!"

BOOM!!

He unleashed the punch he had been building up, sending it hurtling into the distance after him.

Master Wuxiang was the abbot for a reason; he clearly had a few tricks up his sleeve.

At the very least, that speed was far beyond Chen Xuan’s expectations.

He had covered dozens of miles in the time it took to count to one.

If Chen Xuan had really given him a full three counts, he would have escaped completely.

That was why Chen Xuan had acted decisively and struck immediately.
