Chapter 35 - Swift Swords

In the history of the Green Edge Sword Sect, as long as a disciple could reach the top of the sword techniques, as long as they did not die prematurely, they would eventually become unrivaled experts.

The Heavenly Stairway to the Sword represented one's talent in sword arts. The higher one climbed, the stronger one's talent in sword arts would be.

Xie Tiannan was like this back then, and Fang Chen is the same now.

Or else, when the nine grand elders heard that someone had climbed up the stairs to the top, they would be extremely happy.

At that time, when Xie Tiannan went up to the top of the Heaven Stairway, the Green Edge Sword Sect initially wanted to focus on raising him. However, unexpectedly, Xie Tiannan went missing without any news.

From then on, no one else was able to reach the top of the Heaven Stairway to the sword technique.

Just as the many elders were speaking, a loud noise came from the top of the Heaven Stairway. The next moment, the dense Sword Qi disappeared.

After the Sword Qi baptism, Fang Chen stood up.

At this time, Fang Chen felt that his understanding towards the way of the sword had become even deeper, and his mind was filled with dense Sword Qi.

"Sword Qi Baptism, the effect is really good." Fang Chen said in his heart.

After the Sword Qi baptism ended, Fang Chen left the sword technique Heaven Stairway.

At this time, many of the elders came forward to greet him.

"Fang Chen, congratulations on reaching the top of the Heaven Stairway." All the elders greeted Fang Chen, as they completely ignored the ten great disciples of the inner sect.

"Elders." Fang Chen cupped his hands and said.

"Fang Chen, you are the first disciple to ascend the Heaven Stairway since Xie Tiannan." The ninth elder said.

Everyone had a different opinion, Fang Chen merely smiled.

Finally, after an hour, Fang Chen finished dealing with the elders and left the mountain peak.

The news of Fang Chen reaching the top of the sword technique, Heaven Stairway, spread widely in the inner sect.

Countless inner court disciples discussed.

On the second day, Fang Chen went to the Cultivation Technique Hall very early in the morning.

The inner sect Cultivation Technique Hall s were much better than the outer sect disciples. When Fang Chen stepped onto the top of the sword arts stairs, the elders prepared to let Fang Chen choose a skill.

After entering the Cultivation Technique Hall, Fang Chen carefully observed the cultivation technique inside.

Within the inner sect Cultivation Technique Hall s, most of them were normal cultivation techniques, of course there were some inferior cultivation techniques.

Fang Chen looked at the low rank skills, then shook his head, he felt that the low rank skills were not suitable for him.

However, just at this moment, Fang Chen's gaze fixated on a cultivation technique.

This book was placed at the very front of the entire Cultivation Technique Hall. The book was extremely thin, with only one page.

"Hmm? "What kind of cultivation technique is this?"

Fang Chen was a little suspicious, he walked over to the book and started reading.

The fast sword was the name of this cultivation method.

When Fang Chen saw this name, his face revealed a smile.

Although the technique was only a low levelled technique, Fang Chen thought that this sword technique was very suitable for him.

After making his decision, Fang Chen quickly memorized the Swift Sword's chant, then left the Cultivation Technique Hall.

Inside a villa in the inner sect, Bai Yuan's face was filled with anger.

"Bing Ling is very different to this brat." Bai Yuan said coldly.

"Brother Bai Yuan, could it be that Bing Ling likes this brat?" Chong Yu asked doubtfully.

Inside the inner sect, everyone knew that Bai Yuan liked Bing Ling. Although Bing Ling did not agree with Bai Yuan, Bai Yuan disliked other disciples getting close to him.

In front of the Heaven Stairway to the Sword Arts, Bai Yuan had noticed that Bing Ling had a different gaze towards him.

"Fang Chen, it's all because of him." Bai Yuan said angrily.

"Brother Bai Yuan, it's just a small 5th level of the Refinement Realm disciple, there's no need to go overboard. I can just send a disciple to teach him a lesson." Chong Yu said.

Bai Yuan heard and nodded.

After Fang Chen obtained the Fast Sword, he cultivated in the Cultivation Pagoda every day.

After using five thousand Low grade spirit stone, Fang Chen finally cultivated the Fast Sword to the Great Perfection Stage.

Swift sword, as the name implies, can increase the speed of the sword and cultivate to the Perfection Stage. Fang Chen can swing up to a hundred swords in one breath, which is extremely powerful.

"This fast sword is very suitable for me." Fang Chen said.

When Fang Chen walked out of the cultivation tower, a male voice came out.

"Fang Chen, you're finally out."

"Hmm? What's the matter? " Fang Chen asked.

"Fang Chen, I want to challenge you. Do you dare to accept my challenge?" The person said coldly.

The surrounding disciples were all whispering to each other. The disciple who challenged Fang Chen was ranked 20th in the inner sect. His name was Zhou Yunlong.

"Challenge me?" Fang Chen frowned and asked.

"Fang Chen, do you dare to challenge?" Zhou Yunlong asked once more.

"Why would I not dare?" Fang Chen said.

Being inexplicably challenged, Fang Chen was a little displeased and said coldly.

"Alright, let's go to the martial ring." Zhou Yunlong said.

"There's no need to go to the Martial Stage." Fang Chen said.

"Fang Chen, what do you mean?" Zhou Yunlong asked.

Crash …

Suddenly, a lightweight sword appeared in Fang Chen's hand. In the next moment, a sword light flashed, and Zhou Yunlong fell to the ground.

Fang Chen's sword was too fast, to the point that the surrounding disciples could not even see his attack clearly.

"When was Fang Chen so strong?"

The surrounding disciples sucked in a breath of cold air and started discussing amongst themselves.

To be able to defeat Zhou Yunlong in one move, and to the point where he did not even see the moves clearly, Fang Chen was becoming more and more mysterious.

After defeating Zhou Yunlong, Fang Chen turned around and left.

As time passed, Fang Chen's cultivation had also reached the middle stage of the 5th level of the Refinement Realm, and his strength had increased by another level.

On this day, Fang Chen went to the Mission Hall to receive a mission, the location of the mission was the Flowing Wind City where the Liu Feng Zong was located.

Fang Chen left the Green Edge Sword Sect and headed towards Flowing Wind City.

Three days later, Fang Chen arrived at Floating Wind City.

"According to the mission's description, a possible metal vein has been discovered on a mountain peak outside Windflow City. I need to find out what it is." Fang Chen said in a low voice.

Following the map, Fang Chen quickly left Flowing Wind City and headed towards the mountain peak.

At this time, on the Wasteland, the disciples of the Liu Feng Zong had also received news that a metal vein might have appeared here.

"Senior brother Li, I never thought that you would personally take part in this mission." Some disciples laughed.

Li Jin was the thirteenth disciple in the inner sect of Liu Feng Zong. His strength had reached the peak of the 5th level of the Refinement Realm and he was extremely tyrannical.

"The mission this time is more important, let's go quickly." Li Jin said indifferently.

The group of people quickly rushed towards that mountain.

When Li Jin and the others appeared on the mountain peak, they astonishingly noticed that on the mountain peak, a figure had long since appeared.

"Who are you?" Li Jin asked.

After Fang Chen heard this, he recognized that these people were the disciples of the Liu Feng Zong.

"I am a disciple of the Green Edge Sword Sect." Fang Chen said.

"Hmm? Why would a disciple of the Green Edge Sword Sect appear within the boundaries of our Liu Feng Zong? " Li Jin was slightly unhappy, he did not want the metal vein's matter to be exposed.

"I'll do the task." After Fang Chen finished speaking, he began to inspect the mountain peak.

When Li Jin saw this scene, he also began to inspect the mountain peak.

After a while, Fang Chen realized that a few metallic ores were exposed underground where Fang Chen was.

"Is there really a metal vein here?" Fang Chen asked doubtfully.

At the same time, Li Jin and the others also noticed the metal vein.

"Not good, there are really metal vein here, we must definitely not let the disciples of the Green Edge Sword Sect spread the news." Li Jin instantly made his decision.

"Windflow Fist."

Li Jin took the chance when Fang Chen wasn't paying attention to immediately unleash his fist technique. A fist shot out, and a fist light appeared in the sky.

Rumble …

After sensing Li Jin's killing intent, a hint of coldness flashed across Fang Chen's eyes.

"Since all of you are looking to die, I'll grant you your wish."

Fang Chen bellowed, the lightweight sword was in his hands, he then used the quick sword in an instant.

Puff …

A sword light flashed, and a figure instantly fell to the ground. Seeing this scene, Li Jin was even angrier.

"Bastard, I'll kill you."

Li Jin flew into a rage. The other disciples that followed him also made their moves.

Puff …

However, Fang Chen's strength was not something Li Jin could compare to.

After a while, all of the disciples that Li Jin brought were killed by Fang Chen, leaving only Li Jin.

"You can go die too."

Sword light flashed, Fang Chen's lightweight sword, instantly pierced into Li Jin's chest.

Just then, all of Liu Feng Zong's disciples were killed by Fang Chen. Fang Chen checked and found out that Li Jin had a spatial ring, he took them all.

"We must send the news back before the Liu Feng Zong finds out." Fang Chen pondered.

As long as they were able to occupy this place before the Liu Feng Zong, even the Liu Feng Zong was helpless to do anything about it. After all, this place belonged to the Greencloud County and not a place where his Liu Feng Zong could cover the entire sky.

Fang Chen took out a piece of jade pendant for transmission and spread the news here.

In a remote area outside the Flowing Wind City, there was a blood-colored skeleton secretly walking around.

"It seems to be a little difficult to contact the other disciples of the Huangquan Sect." The blood-colored skeleton said in a hoarse voice.

After the Blood Skeleton killed Elder Liu, it gave chase for Fang Chen but to no avail, it left the valley, wandered around, and came to Floating Wind City, wanting to find the members of Huangquan Sect that were hiding in the shadows.

However, even after searching for such a long time, the blood-colored skeleton was still unable to find anything. This left it speechless.

As the bloody skull moved forward, it suddenly sensed a fishy smell coming from ahead.

"A fishy smell, could it be that someone is fighting?"

The blood-colored skeleton's figure flashed, and it instantly dashed toward the peak.

Not long after, the bloody skull appeared on top of the mountain peak and discovered Li Jin and the others.

"These people just died not long ago." The blood-red skeleton whispered.

Soon after, the bloody skull noticed the metal vein beneath the mountain.

"Hmm? There's actually a metal vein here? " The blood-colored skeleton was pleasantly surprised.

The Huangquan Sect had a cultivation technique that could melt metal vein into their own body, and increase their cultivation.

At this moment, the haze that had shrouded the blood-colored skeleton and the metal vein had been swept away.

"The heavens are truly helping me." The blood-red skeleton said excitedly.
