Now two choices were before Fang Yuan: either teleport back to the city to deal with the fiery Emperor, or first deal with these two grandmasters here and then teleport back to the city to deal with the fiery Emperor.
Fang Yuan squinted slightly, thought for a mont, and then quickly made his decision—he chose the forr.
The two grandmasters could delay him for quite so ti. If he fought them first and then returned to the city, it might be too late to stop the fiery Emperor's plot.
That old emperor was the real pressing threat.
Well, he would fight those two later.
With that, Fang Yuan decisively activated [Teleport].
Whoooosh!
A spiral-shaped light instantly enveloped him.
"Huh? Who's that kid?!"
At the sa ti, the Blaze Sun Marquis, who was in the air, noticed the scene in the distance. Amid the icy landscape, the tall and slender young man stood out, his presence striking.
It was known that this was the Ural Mountains, located between the Icefield Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom. The terrain was steep, and it was covered in snow all year round. Not only ordinary people but even low-tier warriors couldn't reach this place.
Yet this person stood there, looking so calm, even eting his gaze with an expression of extre indifference...
The Blaze Sun Marquis felt sothing was off.
"I don't know him. He's not one of Icefield Kingdom's people," ca the muffled response from [Rock Master] below.
"Not soone from Yan Kingdom either," Blaze Sun Marquis replied, puzzled. "This is strange. Who is he, and how did he appear here?"
As the two of them speculated about the identity of the distant young man, they suddenly saw a ring of light erge around him.
In the light, the young man's long hair whipped wildly as he grinned arrogantly at them. "You two, don't let see you again, or I'll kill you!"
The words stunned both the Blaze Sun Marquis and Rock Master.
As grandmasters, when had they ever been insulted like this?
They had barely exchanged a glance with the young man, and yet he dared to threaten them with death? His arrogance was off the charts!
"Looking for death!"
The Blaze Sun Marquis roared, and his spiritual energy surged. He raised his right hand, and a brilliant fireball ford in his palm. He hurled it towards the distant young man.
As the fireball was launched, it expanded, resembling a blazing sun!
Boom!!!
A trendous explosion echoed across the entire Ural Mountains. The heat surged, causing the surrounding snow-capped mountains to start lting.
Once the fireball dissipated, the young man's figure had vanished, leaving only a scorched earth, cracked and lted to glass.
"Hmph, too insignificant to be worthy of my ti!" Blaze Sun Marquis said coldly as he put his hands behind his back. It was only natural that the young man's body would have been reduced to nothing in such overwhelming heat.
"So weak, daring to provoke us... Who knows where this naless rogue ca from..." Rock Master grumbled beneath the ground, then said, "Let's keep moving."
"Success..."
In the imperial city of Yan Kingdom, Yan Shouzheng, whose body had turned into chunks of ice, did not die imdiately. He was relieved when he saw Fang Yuan disappear before his eyes.
Just as he sensed that his life was about to end at Fang Yuan's hands, he used his final trump card:
He burned his entire life force to activate the [Void Shadow], teleporting Fang Yuan to a place far beyond his usual limits, farther than expected!
[Void Shadow] would forcibly transfer the enemy to a frost-covered area. Yan Shouzheng predicted that, with his current power, Fang Yuan had likely been sent to the northern border of Yan Kingdom.
Though this technique had no killing power, it was enough.
As long as he could remove this troubleso figure, the Emperor's grand plan could proceed smoothly.
Moreover, the northern border was guarded by several grandmasters from Icefield Kingdom. If Fang Yuan was unlucky, he might run into them, which would be enough to deal with him.
"Yan Taizu, Your Majesty, my task is complete, hahaha..."
Yan Shouzheng's breath grew weak, and he murmured to himself. His entire life was dedicated to completing every task given to him by Emperor Yan Wen.
Now, with his death approaching, he had finally fulfilled the Emperor's last wish.
In an instant, a sense of satisfaction washed over him, and Yan Shouzheng slowly closed his eyes: This life had been worth it.
"You've completed what?"
But at that mont, an incongruous voice suddenly rang out. That voice made Yan Shouzheng snap to attention, pulling him back from the brink of death!
His previously closed eyes snapped open. As a man at death's door, the voice was enough to bring him back to life. He recognized the voice—this was the invader's voice!
Sure enough, Fang Yuan's handso face appeared before him, still carrying the sa arrogant, indifferent expression.
"Why?!"
As Fang Yuan appeared, even the [Skyfall Iceheart] couldn't calm Yan Shouzheng. The emotionless face he had always worn finally cracked, and his expression beca exceedingly complex. His extre agitation was turning into despair!
"Why is this happening? You were supposed to be teleported away, right?!"
Yan Shouzheng howled. He had clearly sensed that Fang Yuan had been sent away by his ability!
How was Fang Yuan here now? Could it be a hallucination before his death?
"Teleported away? I just teleported back. It's that simple." Fang Yuan's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "I'm really glad to see you still alive!"
It was true—if Yan Shouzheng had died from burning his life force, Fang Yuan wouldn't have even gotten any good deed points for it.
But who knew that when he returned, Yan Shouzheng would be so enraged that he would fight on for a while, giving Fang Yuan the perfect opportunity!
With that, Fang Yuan raised his right foot and aid it at Yan Shouzheng's head.
"Please go, please go, please let complete my task..." At this mont, Yan Shouzheng began begging, but not for his life. He was pleading for Fang Yuan to leave.
Completing his task was his life's obsession.
"I'm not going anywhere. And let remind you of one thing..." Fang Yuan responded indifferently, delivering Yan Shouzheng his last words. "The task your dog emperor gave you, you failed. Useless!"
"Take that sense of unwillingness and despair to hell!"
With that, Fang Yuan stomped down.
Crack! Yan Shouzheng's frozen head shattered instantly, dying without peace.
[Slaying a Grandmaster-level Expert, Good Deed Value 100,000]
A prompt from the [Good Person Scripture] echoed in Fang Yuan's mind as he exhaled lightly. The na "bootlicker" was truly appropriate for him—Yan Shouzheng's obsession with serving his master was as if he were possessed by it.
At the very last mont of his life, he was still thinking about completing the Emperor's mission. Was this the so-called savior of the evil?
Now, with the small boss defeated in front of him, it was ti for Emperor Yan Wen to face the consequences. Let's see what kind of figure could make Yan Shouzheng so devoted to his cause.
