"I told you, you're not getting away today."
Xiao Fan pushed himself off the ground and stood up, looking at Mo Tianxiao with a playful gaze. He said in his heart, "Elder Yun, come on, I'm ready."
He couldn't beat the other party, but he had the remnant soul of a Great Emperor inside his body!
A mere Nascent Soul cultivator could be destroyed with a single hand!
"Boom!"
Suddenly, an aura far surpassing the Golden Core realm erupted from Xiao Fan's body. Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, the aura continued to rise. A terrifying coercion swept over, making Mo Tianxiao and Nangong Wan unable to maintain their flight in the sky, causing them to plummet to the ground.
"This kid plays dirty!"
Mo Tianxiao steadied his stance, pulled Nangong Wan behind him, and immediately erupted with his Nascent Soul cultivation, pouring it into the Nine Tribulations Holy Sword. He fiercely plunged the sword into the ground in front of him to resist the opponent's coercion.
In his other hand, he held a piece of jade, ready to crush it at a moment's notice.
What kind of bullshit Child of Destiny was this? Such a huge temper, calling for a substitute fighter at the drop of a hat. Did he really want to kill him that badly?
Mo Tianxiao frowned, somewhat unable to understand what kind of crap was filling Xiao Fan's head. From beginning to end, he had never shown any killing intent, yet the other party wanted to kill him right off the bat.
Just based on this point alone, Mo Tianxiao had already marked Xiao Fan in his heart as the trashiest Child of Destiny.
"Little Fan, a powerhouse has arrived. My existence is somewhat sensitive and cannot be exposed. Let's drop this matter for now."
Mo Tianxiao was just about to call for backup, but as a result, the aggressively imposing Xiao Fan deflated like a punctured balloon, his entire aura vanishing without a trace.
"Elder Yun?? What's going on?"
Seeing his biggest trump card directly go silent, Xiao Fan suddenly panicked. As a mere Golden Core, he couldn't beat the other party!
"What's wrong? Weren't you going to kill me?"
Although he didn't know what had happened to Xiao Fan's golden finger, without the help of his golden finger, he should be able to properly abuse the other party, right?
After all, the other party wanted to kill him at the slightest provocation.
Rubbing his fists, Mo Tianxiao approached Xiao Fan step by step, the corners of his mouth turning up into a malicious smirk.
"Y-you, don't come over! I'm warning you, I am a core disciple of the Supreme Dao Sect! If you dare touch me, the Supreme Dao Sect will not let you off!"
Xiao Fan was panicking hard right now.
"My, my, my, the Supreme Dao Sect, how impressive. It's fine, go back and complain all you want. The Demon State welcomes your visit."
Mo Tianxiao stepped forward, pinned Xiao Fan's shoulder with his left hand, and violently smashed his right fist into Xiao Fan's head.
The injuries the other party sustained earlier hadn't healed yet, and now he couldn't even put up a fight. He could only obediently take the beating.
"Ouch! I was wrong! Bro, bro, I was wrong!"
Xiao Fan fell to the ground, hugging his head with both hands, constantly admitting his mistakes. It is never too late for a gentleman to take his revenge! Endure for a moment to gain calm seas! At worst, he would just wait until his cultivation surpassed the other party's in the future and return this a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
"Now you know you were wrong?"
Mo Tianxiao raised his foot, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. "You're wrong, huh? Then taking your two magic pills as a toll isn't too much, right?"
"M-magic pills? What is that?"
Xiao Fan was a bit confused. What were magic pills? Could it be some kind of natural treasure?
"Awooo!!!"
In the next second, Mo Tianxiao's raised foot viciously kicked Xiao Fan right in his magic pills. With a loud crack, Xiao Fan's agonizing shriek echoed through the heavens and earth.
[Destroyed the Child of Destiny's magic pills. Conforms to villainous behavior. Villain Points +1000!]
So satisfying!
Mo Tianxiao retracted his foot, his face looking refreshed. This Xiao Fan really was his money tree. In just a short while, the Villain Points he had harvested exceeded a month's income at the Netherworld Demon Sect.
Nangong Wan stood silently in the distance watching, her face blushing slightly. It wasn't that she sympathized with Xiao Fan; she just felt her senior brother's actions were truly a bit too cruel. How could he hit someone in that kind of place?
Looking at Xiao Fan's expression that seemed like he was about to pass away, it must hurt a lot, right?
"Found it."
Just as Mo Tianxiao was reveling in his villainous behavior, a bald old man wearing a dark kasaya appeared in front of Nangong Wan at some unknown time. His cloudy eyes were carefully scrutinizing her.
"Hmm?"
"Who are you?"
Mo Tianxiao noticed the sudden arrival, a cold sweat breaking out on his back. When did this person appear?
"Hahahaha, do not panic, Almsgiver. This old monk means no harm."
The old monk turned around and looked at Mo Tianxiao, looking him up and down before frowning. "This Almsgiver's fate is rather strange. To think this old monk actually cannot see through it?"
The old monk seemed to be encountering this kind of situation for the first time and was somewhat curious, but he was not someone who hadn't seen the world.
After only scrutinizing him for a moment, he shifted his gaze to Xiao Fan, who was lying on the ground, having already fainted from the pain.
"Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, Eight Desolates Flame to actually be able to fuse these two heavenly treasures of different attributes into one body, this Almsgiver is not simple either."
"May I ask what brings you here, Senior?"
Mo Tianxiao cupped his hands toward the old monk and asked.
At the same time, he quietly used his Eye of Appraisal to scan the old monk.
[Name: Puxuan
Cultivation: Peak Saint King
Destiny Grade: Red (Invincible below the Great Emperor realm)
Profile: Western Desert Buddhist Kingdom, Junior Brother of the Abbot of the Great Thunderclap Temple. Currently wandering the mortal realm in search of an opportunity to break through to the Great Emperor realm, while also searching for a suitable Buddhist Maiden for the Great Thunderclap Temple.]
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked, but upon seeing this, Mo Tianxiao was completely stunned. This old monk actually had the same cultivation as his Master? However, there was no Half-Step Emperor Realm marker after his cultivation.
No wonder Xiao Fan's golden finger suddenly stopped working; it turned out he was afraid of being discovered.
"Hahahaha, this old monk noticed a strange aura just now and thought a treasure had been born. I didn't expect it to actually be an Immortal Bone."
The old monk's gaze fell upon Nangong Wan.
Currently, the Great Thunderclap Temple was lacking a Buddhist Maiden, and the little girl before him was a perfect fit.
The selection for Buddhist Sons and Buddhist Maidens at the Great Thunderclap Temple was extremely strict. One had to possess at least the potential to become a Saint King to be eligible.
And for the owner of the Immortal Bone standing before him, becoming a Great Emperor powerhouse in the future was practically a certainty. His Great Thunderclap Temple could finally be considered to have a successor.
"Little Almsgiver, I see you have an affinity with Buddhism. Are you willing to enter my Buddhist sect and become a Buddhist Maiden?"
Hearing this, both Nangong Wan and Mo Tianxiao were stunned for a moment.
Mo Tianxiao roughly understood. It was likely that when Nangong Wan used the power of her Immortal Bone earlier, it was detected by this old monk. This Immortal Bone really was a highly sought-after prize.
Both Xiao Fan and this old monk had come for the Immortal Bone. In the future, he would have to tell his junior sister to take it easy and not use the power of the Immortal Bone recklessly.
"Thank you for the invitation, Senior, but my Master and Senior Brother have shown me great kindness. I will not join another faction."
Nangong Wan calmly rejected the old monk's invitation.
Let alone the fact that she was currently a disciple of the Netherworld Demon Sect, even if she were a rogue cultivator, she wouldn't be willing to become some Buddhist Maiden. The title alone sounded like an antique; it definitely didn't suit her.
Despite Nangong Wan's refusal, the old monk's face still carried a benevolent smile. His body even began to emit a halo of golden light, making him look just like a living Buddha.
"Little Almsgiver, please consider it carefully. Are you truly unwilling to enter my Buddhist sect?"
Looking at the old monk's benevolent face, Nangong Wan fell into a trance. The booming sound of chanted sutras, loud as a massive temple bell, echoed through her mind, as if telling her that the Buddhist Sect was her ultimate destiny.
"I... am willing..."
Nangong Wan spoke slowly, her body walking toward the old monk as if completely out of her control.
Smack!
Just as she was about to accept the old monk's invitation, a hand firmly grasped her shoulder.
"I am the Demon Emperor, and I shall suppress all enemies!"
The sudden voice sent a powerful jolt through Nangong Wan's soul, instantly shattering the chanting in her mind into nothingness.
Clarity returned to her eyes. Looking at Mo Tianxiao standing beside her with his hand resting on her shoulder, Nangong Wan murmured, still slightly dazed, "Senior Brother?"
