Chapter 603: Humiliating Zhu Xian

"Heh heh~" Hearing Immortal Kumo’s threat, Fang Lie didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and said, "You’ve got it completely backwards. The real reason you’re suffering is because your Zhu Xian fools offended me! You’re just the first. More Zhu Xian idiots will face worse fates!"

"You arrogant brat! Even Sect Leader Mo Qianxun wouldn’t dare speak like this!" Immortal Kumo sneered.

"Our Sect Leader is too kind to bite back when dogs snap at him. But I’m different!" Fang Lie growled. "When dogs bite me, I beat them to death. Not even heavenly kings could stop me! Zhu Xian and Shi Shen chose the wrong target this time!"

With a mental command, Fang Lie’s clone stomped Immortal Kumo’s head into the ground. "So proud of being assassins, huh? Daring to ambush me? Today I’ll show the world you’re nothing but dog dung!"

Fang Lie waved his hand. "Strip this old dog and hang him naked on the Treasure Tower!"

Two clones shattered Immortal Kumo’s robes, exposing his shriveled body. They tied his ankles and hoisted him upside-down from the tower’s peak.

Humiliated beyond endurance, Immortal Kumo spat blood and roared, "Just kill me, you bastard!"

"Death’s too merciful." Fang Lie sneered. "I want you alive and ashamed. Every hour you hang here makes Zhu Xian’s reputation brighter!"

"Wait-" Fang Lei added, "Can’t have people misunderstanding." He soared skyward, forming hand seals that etched giant flaming letters: "ZHU XIAN ELDER SELLS HIS ASS FOR COIN – ASSASSIN REPUTATION = DOG DUNG!"

Floating before his captive, Fang Lie grinned. "How’s my artwork?"

"Zhu Xian will destroy you!" Immortal Kumo wailed, knowing even if freed, his organization would execute him for this disgrace.

Fang Lie’s laughter boomed across the suddenly empty town. Spectators had fled moments earlier, shops vanishing into the horizon. Distant observers whispered:

"Madness! Humiliating Zhu Xian’s elder? Does Fang Lie crave death?"

"With his undying nature? More bold than crazy. But why provoke Zhu Xian after clashing with East Kunlun and Great Thunder Sound Temple?"

"Serves Zhu Xian right! After millennia of killing Semi-Immortals, they grew arrogant. Now they’ve met their match in this reckless youth!"

Within half a month, consequences arrived. As Fang Lie lounged in his tower taunting the naked elder, a thunderous voice shook the skies: "DIE, FANG LIE!"

Yin-cold curse energy attacked his consciousness sea, only to be repelled by warm energy from his "old bird" guardian. Fang Lie instantly pinpointed the black-robed elder hiding among distant onlookers.

Zhu Xian’s signature frontal assault contrasted with Shi Shen’s slow-burn curses. This opening strike confirmed the assassins’ arrival – and their desperation to salvage their crumbling reputation.
