“It looks like the arranged battle between the two of you truly cannot proceed now. I too feel rather regretful at that. Still, with your talent, I believe that you would have gained something from this.”
“If you of Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect still want to act against me, that is fine as well. I will receive all of it.”
“Still, I estimate that those who are determined to pick a fight with me should be arriving by now?” As he said this, Yan Zhaoge laughed lightly, his gaze sweeping across the Sprit Rhino Island martial practitioners who instantly all shivered simultaneously.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “I am not very clear on this Sacred Evil Sect that you speak of. My aunt and I come from beyond the seas, not falling into the categories of your Seven Pillars of Good and Six Evil Sects.”
“In having come here this time, I indeed have a motive. Still, it is not Water Crystal Palace or the Dragon Slayer Sect that I want to find but instead Changli Mountain.”
Their hearts all jolted before they pondered deeply on his words.
After Elder Dong of Water Crystal Palace had communicated with the people of the Spirit Returning Sect, he glanced at the people of Spirit Rhino Island as he felt rather uncertain as well.
Changli Mountain being on good terms with Water Crystal Palace, Elder Dong frowned as he asked, “Yet, are you friend or foe with Changli Mountain? In going to the Directionless Sea this time, is it to seek revenge?”
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, laughing, “That will have to wait until I have arrived at Changli Mountain. However, bar any unexpected occurrences, it should most likely be friend rather than foe.”
Hearing his words, those of the forces of Good all appeared to have unconsciously relaxed greatly.
Meanwhile, those on the side of Evil all involuntarily tensed up as the gazes with which they looked at Yan Zhaoge instantly turned more guarded.
Yan Zhaoge, however, was not much concerned at all by this as he sat cross-legged amidst the light emitted by the Sweet Pouring Raindrops.
As Elder Yue of the Dragon Slayer Sect looked at Yan Zhaoge with his eyes narrowed into slits, he suddenly asked, “You are looking for Changli Mountain, and the people who are looking for you are of Spirit Rhino Island?”
Yan Zhaoge answered nonchalantly, “That’s right.”
Water Crystal Palace’s Elder Dong asked, “Why are they looking for you?”
As he was saying this, the hearts of the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters present all jolted slightly as they turned and gazed into the distance.
Yan Zhaoge laughed, “Oh, he’s here. Let him explain it himself.”
Extremely strong power fluctuations appeared over the great sea in the distance, its inherent will causing everyone here to feel a chill within their hearts!

HSSB515: No good end comes to those who malign me
Majestic power fluctuations appeared over the distant sea, rapidly approaching where Yan Zhaoge and the others were.
Virtually at the same time that everyone detected its existence, that majestic will had already arrived close by, its speed swift to the point of leaving people speechless.
Fu Enshu looked at Yan Zhaoge, his expression as per usual as he nodded slightly, “This is the supreme martial art of Spirit Rhino Island that I mentioned to you previously. I didn’t know its name before, but I asked around about it afterwards and learnt that it should be called Spiritual Light Flashes.”
“High in speed, shifting oneself at lightning speed as one seems to flash by like a streak of light. It is only slower than breaking through space when travelling. Still, it looks as though it disregards spatial bounds and performs instantaneous movement.”
Fu Enshu frowned. There were no movement techniques she knew who could achieve as great a speed as this.
The Eight Extremities World’s martial legacies which emphasised most on speed belonged to the current Heavenly Thunder Hall as well as the former Black Nightmare Mountain.
As Fu Enshu saw it, however, even the supreme martial arts of the Heavenly Thunder Hall and Black Nightmare Mountain might still be inferior in this aspect.
“The Vast Ocean World indeed possesses martial arts of all kinds, possessing a flair of its own,” Fu Enshu pondered as she said.
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, seeing a middle-aged man having already appeared before him.
As this middle-aged man stood within the deep sea, he seemed to have merged as one with the great sea, neither being easily distinguishable from the other.
Numerous streaks of light flickered around him, seemingly transforming into several mirrors which each illuminated various scenes.
The mirror-light traversed the great sea, splitting it apart into various regions. As those within each region gazed in all directions, they actually felt the world before them to be blurry as they seemed unable to clearly see the people within the other regions.
This man looked to be in his early forties. However, those who knew him were all aware that unlike Yan Zhaoge, his actual age was much greater that from his external appearance.
There was none amongst the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners present who did not know him.
Of the Seven Pillars of Good, the Chief of Spirit Rhino Island, the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster Fang Kan.
He was also the bigwig ranked seventh amongst the Vast Ocean World’s top ten Transcending Mortality experts, being one of the most authoritative existences of the Vast Ocean World.
Yan Zhaoge had not seen Fang Kan before, but he had seen his son Fang Zhaohong, and the two of them bore a sixty percent resemblance.
Fang Kan’s gaze swept the area, landing on Yan Zhaoge.
The Spirit Rhino Island disciples who had not entered the barrier alongside Fang Zhaohong, Yang Chufan and the others had already described Yan Zhaoge’s appearance to Fang Kan upon having returned to the island.
Fang Kan gazed at Yan Zhaoge, his face expressionless.
Zhang Haocheng appeared hesitating as he said slowly, “Island Chief Fang, this Young Master Yan should not be a descendant of the Sacred Evil Sect. There may be some misunderstandings here…”
Fang Kan swivelled his head and looked at Elder Dong of Water Crystal Palace, “Does Water Crystal Palace want to shield him?”
Elder Dong hesitated slightly but then heard Fang Kan continue, “Today, even if Water Crystal Palace wants to shield him, there are also some debts that have to be settled properly with him.”
He turned back to look at Yan Zhaoge, asking slowly, “My Spirit Rhino Island disciples Fang Zhaohong, Yang Chufan, Cai Ziqi and Zhang Peng-where are the four of them now?”
It was fine for the other three, but hearing Fang Zhaohong’s name, all of the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners present seemed to realise something.
The Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners focused on Yan Zhaoge.
The four of them had already been missing for a long time, their fates unknown. However, they just retained that tiny bit of hope that Fang Zhaohong and the others had only been captured by Yan Zhaoge, not having been killed.
Yan Zhaoge could also basically understand what they were thinking. As the corpses of the four had been destroyed by him, it was only natural that they had not been able to find them.
Still, Yan Zhaoge did not feign dead men to be hostages.
Looking at Fang Kan, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Your son and his fellow disciples tried to kill me. Alas, they were inferior, and all died by my hands.”
Fang Kun slightly stopped breathing for a moment.
The streaks of light traversing the great sea began to surge, their violent momentum seemingly wanting to rip the ocean apart.
While the other Vast Ocean World martial practitioners had already had their suspicions, looking at Yan Zhaoge now, they too were rather lost for words.
Before Yan Zhaoge had clashed with Zhang Haocheng and Li Sheng, while he h
ad slain the Evil Shifting Sect’s Jiang Xiong, the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners had still unconsciously believed the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster Fang Zhaohong to have been killed by Fu Enshu.
However, after having watched Yan Zhaoge’s battle against Zhang and Li, they already understood that facing off against Yan Zhaoge, Fang Zhaohong would have been unable to avoid the fate of death as well!
Meanwhile, if Zhang Haocheng and Li Sheng had known beforehand that Fang Zhaohong had been slain by Yan Zhaoge, they would probably have thought twice about wanting to battle with him.
While also an early Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster, Fang Zhaohong was even more powerful than the ‘Roiling Sea Hero’, Leng Kun, who had died by Zhang Haocheng’s hands.
Gazing at Yan Zhaoge, Fang Kan nodded slowly, “Good, very good!”
Before his words had landed, he directly raised a palm, numerous streaks of light congregating in the surroundings before they all shot down towards Yan Zhaoge!
Fu Enshu frowned slightly, raising the sword in her hand to meet Fang Kan.
Vast and mighty as well as vigorous in its momentum, that sword that seemed one with the heavens and the earth caused Fang Kan’s eyelids to instantly twitch, “What profound sword arts. Still, your cultivation base is inferior to mine.”
The radiance agglomerated in his palm turned from silvery-white to jade green, circulating about the great sea as Fu Enshu’s Limitless Heavenly Sword missed.
As the jade light still shot towards Yan Zhaoge, wielding her sword in her right hand, Fu Enshu flipped her left palm, purplish-red flames leaping as they instantly formed a sea of flames, still pursuing after that jade light.
Numerous essence talismans transformed into several spirit arrays which then came together to form a white spirit altar, enveloping Fu Enshu’s body as her sword and her left palm grew even fiercer.
However, there were many damaged places on the white altar, causing it to appear a little mottled.
Even though Fu Enshu had still yet to fully recover from her injuries, this did not change her tough, stubborn personality as she substituted defence with offence, blocking Fang Kan’s Spirit Rhino Palm that was directed towards Yan Zhaoge.
“So you were injured. This only goes to show even more how much you overestimate yourself.”
Fang Kan’s face was expressionless as he changed his palm technique, no longer going the intricate route as he slammed directly down towards Fu Enshu with his palm!
Radiance guarded Fang Kan’s body, instantly transforming into a gigantic figure. It was precisely the true martial avatar that Fang Kan had attained after having stepped into the Transcending Mortality stage.
His cultivation base being higher than Fu Enshu’s, with the latter also being injured, she instantly let out a muffled groan upon their head-on clash.
When Fang Kan was about to exert greater force, a palm suddenly extended from the side, clapping towards his Spirit Rhino Palm as it was vast and majestic, resembling the great sky.
“An early Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster can possess such strength? No wonder Hong’er and the others fell to the hands of this little beast…” While Fang Kan was shocked, he did not hesitate in his movements in the least.
He looked coldly at the attacking Yan Zhaoge, “I’m not afraid to tell you this. Even if the Evil Saint appears now, he will still not be able to save you!”
“I do not mind admitting that the things I did were done by me, such as how your son was slaughtered by me,” Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “While it doesn’t really affect much in the end, do not frame me for things that I did not do.”
“Usually, there is no good end that comes to those who malign me.”

HSSB516: Awakening
Fang Kan laughed angrily at Yan Zhaoge’s words, “How arrogant!”
After laughing, his gaze turned cold, “Whether or not you are a descendant of the Sacred Evil Sect, this old man will definitely see you dead today regardless!”
His true essence formed a true martial avatar, the Spirit Rhino Avatar that was formed having just a single eye that was located right at its forehead.
As this eye opened, it seemed able to penetrate and see through all hearts and profundities between the heavens and the earth.
Looking at Fang Kan, Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, “His proficiency in this Spirit Rhino Palm is indeed much higher than that of his son’s. They really aren’t at the same level at all.
Having been in the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster realm for many years and possessing a much higher cultivation base than Yan Zhaoge, as Fang Kan manifested his Spirit Rhino Avatar now, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu seemed to appear transparent before his eyes.
Let alone variations in martial arts, just any fleeting thoughts that they had would vaguely seem to have been seen through by Fang Kan as well.
Yan Zhaoge had been able to deal with Fang Zhaohong’s Spirit Rhino Palm in many ways, but these would clearly come up rather lacking before Fang Kan.
Against Fang Zhaohong, Yan Zhaoge could completely ignore his predictive abilities and just suppress him head-on with his full strength.
However, with the opponent now being Fang Kan who had the upper hand in terms of pure strength, forcibly trying to face him head-on would really just being looking for trouble.
Against Fang Zhaohong, Yan Zhaoge had been able to strengthen his variations to the limit such that Fang Zhaohong had been left completely unable to calculate them at all.
Fang Kan’s Spirit Rhino Avatar, however, could project all of Yan Zhaoge’s numerous moves.
Against Fang Zhaohong, Yan Zhaoge had executed the Ocean Stabilising Spirit Fist, his mind deep as the depths of the sea as no ripples had surfaced on it at all whatsoever, with Fang Zhaohong completely unable to determine the variations within.
Fang Kan, however, could still obtain useful information from it somewhat.
This was also where Fang Kan’s confidence in definitely being able to slay Yan Zhaoge stemmed from. The difference between their cultivation bases was just too great.
Still, Fang Kan was still secretly shocked, “Merely an early Essence Talisman stage cultivation base…”
If Yan Zhaoge’s cultivation base had been a little higher, would his Spirit Rhino Avatar still have been able to see through him?
Fang Kan really dared not consider this question any further.
Speaking of this, a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster should clearly be able to casually render an early Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster dead with but a single palm. Instead, why had it turned out this way now?
The other Vast Ocean World martial practitioners present did not interfere as they all just dazedly watched this scene.
While they had already seen Yan Zhaoge’s powerful aspects earlier, that he was actually still able to retaliate when faced against the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster Fang Kan still truly far surpassed their imaginations.
Still, all of this would soon come to an end…
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Zhang Haocheng and Li Sheng both felt it to be a pity.
What shocking geniuses were most afraid of was provoking someone who was much too powerful for them to deal with before they had truly been able to grow, dying young as a result.
Yan Zhaoge was the greatest genius that they had ever seen. Sadly, having met the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster Fang Kan going all out whilst only at the early Essence Talisman stage, his future would be wiped out as a result.
In the eyes of the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners, if Yan Zhaoge’s cultivation base had been just a little higher, he would have a chance to escape alive even having encountered Fang Kan.
However, with Yan Zhaoge being so young, there was truly no more that should be asked of him. It was just a pity-what heights would he otherwise have been able to attain in the future?
The same thought was flo
wing through Fang Kan’s mind as well.
Therefore, he acted even more resolutely and determinedly!
Such a sworn enemy who possessed limitless potential definitely could not be left alive!
Yan Zhaoge appeared calm as he focused his gaze on Fang Kan, not panicked or flustered in the least.
While the same methods that he had used against Fang Zhaohong could not be used, it was fine. There were still many alternative methods that were available to him.
Yan Zhaoge suddenly laughed, his usually calm gaze suddenly turning maniacal.
That eye at the centre of Fang Kan’s Spirit Rhino Avatar’s forehead flickered as its radiance also turned chaotic as well.
“Huh?” Fang Kan stared intently at Yan Zhaoge, feeling greatly curious as he suddenly discovered that his projection of the variations in Yan Zhaoge’s moves as well as his grasping of the direction of his thoughts had become more difficult than before.
Having originally been stable and organised, they had suddenly turned chaotic and random at this moment, overflowing with insanity.
It was like a normal person had suddenly just turned into a madman.
A normal person could be properly analysed from their daily actions to deduce the general gist of their thoughts and actions.
However, it would be very hard to grasp what a madman was thinking at any given moment as well as what he might then do.
This was how Fang Kan was feeling now, with all those strands of thoughts and emotions jumbled up into one as it was hard to search for any clues within.
Even Fu Enshu felt exceptionally astonished as she noticed the changes in Yan Zhaoge by the side.
A rather distorted, maniacal grin appeared on Yan Zhaoge’s face.
A final tinge of clarity was still located within his heart, just that Fang Kan was unable to immediately see through it, hidden as it was amidst all that madness.
Of the Six Spirit Demonic Fist, the Qilin Demonic Fist!
The Qilin was an upright and authoritative beast of virtue that suppressed all evil, being the most just existence.
The Qilin Demonic Fist, however, went the complete opposite of that. It was the maddest, most violent of all the six fist techniques, being more frenzied and wild than the rest of them.
