What the monk didn't know was that Fang Shuwen was unfamiliar with the title "Killing Ascetic" simply because he hadn't had a chance to ask for a name during their last encounter.
The Ascetic Monk from a moment ago was none other than the Great Monk who had entered Flying Snow City alongside Fang Shuwen and his companions that day.
He had indeed approached with malicious intent; the killing aura about him was unmistakable.
But the moment he saw Fang Shuwen, he had turned and fled without a second thought.
Back in Flying Snow City, Fang Shuwen had killed Shangguan Ying with three palm strikes right before his eyes. Even now, the memory of that scene haunted his nightmares, leaving him with ice-cold hands and feet.
Seeing him again today, whatever purpose or plan the monk had, it all vanished like smoke.
'With that man around, nothing is possible!'
'If things go south, I might even be sent to the Western Heaven to meet Buddha Tathagata myself.'
