"I don't know either."
The man in the red robe turned his palm and slowly said:
"It's just following orders."
You're very honest too.
Fang Shuwen smiled.
"There's nothing that can't be said about a person who is about to die."
The man in the red robe spoke casually, as if the person sitting next to him was not a living person, but a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
Fang Shuwen then said:
"Since there's nothing that can't be said, why don't you tell me where this Divine Fire Seal came from?"
And who are you?
"By the way, when I was in the Pearl Pavilion, I managed to extract six words from that man in black."
"... What word?"
"A thousand miles away, the Emperor is astonished!"
Fang Shuwen shrugged:
"Since I'm about to die anyway, why don't you tell me what these six words mean?"
"I can't say."
The man in the red robe answered quickly, but this was not the answer Fang Shuwen wanted to hear.
Fang Shuwen scoffed:
"This is so pointless. You just said there was nothing you couldn't say to someone who's about to die, and now you've gone back on your word..."
"Because I said, even I would die."
The man in red robes said helplessly:
"You can't drag me down with you just because you're going to die, can you?"
"I see."
Fang Shuwen stroked his chin:
"At that time, in the main hall in front of the Pearl Pavilion, after the man in black said those six words, a burst of fire energy erupted from his body, instantly killing him without leaving a trace."
"Now you say this... It seems that the so-called Divine Fire Seal can control your mouths, preventing you from easily revealing secrets."
"Interesting, this is really interesting."
"There really are all sorts of amazing skills and techniques in this world..."
"So, you've all been implanted with that so-called Divine Fire Seal?"
"Who was it that Emperor Emeritus did?"
Why ask so many questions about someone who's about to die?
The man in red robes spoke with a smile, but the murderous aura emanating from him grew even stronger.
Fang Shuwen asked helplessly:
"Is it possible to live forever?"
"No."
The moment he finished uttering the words "red-robed man, "Fang Shuwen had already leaped to his feet.
The [Great Black Heaven Divine Palm] unleashed its [Vajra Tower-Throwing] move in a flash, but it wasn't aimed at the red-robed man. Instead, the palm swept past the group from Lu'an Escort Agency and landed heavily, striking the group of red-robed men.
However, this group of people were not ordinary figures in the martial arts world. Even though Fang Shuwen and the man in red robes were chatting and laughing, seemingly getting along very well.
But in reality, we were always on guard.
With this palm strike, apart from a few who were unable to dodge in time and were slammed to the ground by Fang Shuwen, bleeding from all seven orifices and dying, most people had already dodged to the sides.
Fang Shuwen didn't care. He struck out with his palm without hesitation. He turned around and suddenly used the [Twin-Blooming Golden Lotus] technique. The red-clad men on both sides were about to surround him when they were attacked by the force of the palm.
Then I heard a series of bangs!
In an instant, a cloud of blood mist filled the air. The seven or eight red-clad men who had just rushed up all had their chests caved in, and the force of their palms came out from behind them, spraying blood mist like rain all over the heads and faces of those behind them.
Their faces were covered with veils, but their eyes were not.
Without thinking, they all stepped back and reached out to wipe it.
Fang Shuwen took the opportunity to speak:
"You all step back."
Mo Beidou was about to say something more when Lu Guiyan pulled him back.
Now is not the time to rush in and help.
Their help only makes things worse...
Meanwhile, a group of people in red had already gathered in one place.
Seven or eight corpses lay scattered on the ground.
There were at least twenty more men in red standing opposite them.
The man in the red robe stood in the crowd and said helplessly:
Why put up a stubborn resistance?
"No matter how skilled you are in martial arts, do you think you can kill us all?"
Fang Shuwen smiled wryly, but said nothing more.
Suddenly, a gust of wind rose from the flat ground and began to gather behind Fang Shuwen.
I naturally had to take out the newly acquired [Heavenly Intent Four Symbols Art] and test its effects.
A murderous aura permeated the forest, and the flames crackled and roared in the wind.
A strong sense of crisis suddenly welled up in the red-robed man's heart, and without thinking, he shielded everyone in front of him:
"Work together!!"
Then the group of people in red moved and changed positions, leaving only one person in front, with his hands crossed and palms facing inward.
The red-clad figures behind him raised their hands and placed them on the back of the person in front of them. Streams of fiery true True Qi gathered out, and the palms of the person standing at the front became increasingly red.
He suddenly raised both hands to his waist, palms facing upwards.
Flames were indeed raging and burning between his hands.
A series of faint dragon roars rang out as the man was about to unleash his palm strike.
But then, behind Fang Shuwen, a colossal Dharma image had somehow risen up.
Enveloped in the wind, which howled, the Dharma image unleashed a powerful palm strike as Fang Shuwen delivered his own.
A strong wind swept in, its power concealed within.
The red-clad man at the forefront suddenly contracted his pupils, instinctively feeling the overwhelming force approaching him, like a palm strike or a knife, so powerful that he could not resist it.
Even if all the red-clad people present joined forces, they might not be a match for the opponent.
Compared to the opponent's martial arts skills, this realization terrified him even more.
However, at this moment, there was no room for him to retreat.
With firelight converging in both palms, it was already an arrow ready to be released.
He could only let out an angry shout and strike out with both palms.
A dragon's roar suddenly rose, and the palm strike was like a fire dragon, meeting Fang Shuwen's palm attack head-on.
Before they even got close, the flames covered by the palm force were blown down and couldn't lift their heads. When the two streams of True Qi collided, the palm force, which was full of fire, was stimulated by Fang Shuwen's [Wind God's Wrath] move and instantly turned into raging flames that could no longer be condensed into a solid shape.
It was then swept back by the wind.
In an instant, the flames rained down on the group of people in red.
Screams of agony rose and fell, and cries of anguish filled the air.
The person in red standing at the very front, however, did not suffer such misfortune.
The moment those two streams of True Qi collided, he was instantly killed by Fang Shuwen's internal force.
Fang Shuwen unleashed a palm strike, his gaze sweeping over the group of people before narrowing his eyes slightly.
The fiery energy contained in the opponent's palm strike was extraordinary. These people gathered all their strength to fight Fang Shuwen, but now they were being devoured by the backlash of True Qi, their meridians were being burned, and green smoke was spewing from their seven orifices. They were doomed to die.
He immediately ignored them and leaped towards the first man in the red robe.
The man in red robes thought he was almost certain of victory, which is why he dared to speak so arrogantly to Fang Shuwen.
To their surprise, Fang Shuwen, once he made his move, did so with overwhelming force, utterly crushing them and leaving them stranded.
Terrified, he dared not fight Fang Shuwen and turned to run.
Before he could run two steps, he heard an ominous wind behind him, so he had no choice but to circulate his inner strength and strike back with a palm.
The once invincible fire energy crumbled the moment it touched Fang Shuwen. The powerful force sent him flying backward, tumbling three to five zhang before he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
When I looked up again, Fang Shuwen was already right in front of me.
Then the man in the red robe let out a dry laugh:
"... I think, not dying is acceptable."
