Chapter 263: You Betrayed Me
Long Tianxing stared at Fang Chen for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.
If you can hurt me in a single blow, Ill relinquish my position as the Qing Province Sword Sect Master to you!
A commotion broke out.
The crowd knew that Long Tianxing had to be extremely confident to dare say such words, and this was unlikely to end well for Fang Chen.
He might be a sword cultivator but its not that easy to bridge the massive gap in their cultivation. They could tell from the spirit ki pulsations from the Spirit Heaven Mountain a few days ago that Fang Chen was only at Ki Refinement.
You said that yourself. Fang Chen chuckled.
Make your move, Long Tianxing coolly said.
A cold gleam flashed across Fang Chens eyes as he prepared to unleash the first form of the Eight Barrens Immortal Subjugation Peerless Swordsmanship. A terrifying sword intent arose from him, and his spirit ki rage.
The crowd saw Fang Chen emitting a brilliant golden light, and their eyes widened in disbelief.
This was the first time they had sensed such a terrifying sword intent up close. It was hard to describe the sensation, but if they really had to put it into words it felt like they were half a foot into the netherworld, as if the sword intent would slice them into shreds the next moment!
Long Tianxing was stunned. Goosebumps rose all over his body.
His instincts were shouting at him that this was going dangerousextremely so!
Xia Xuanjis face turned grim. He realized he had underestimated the sword cultivator. He had no confidence he could escape from such an attack unscathed.
The three elders from the Spirit Heaven Sect were astounded too. They knew that they would have been goners if the sword cultivator had used this attack on them that day. Even the Spirit Heaven Sect would be leveled before such an attack!
They were glad that they had surrendered their possessions and fled!
There was a flash of silver light, and the terrifying sword intent gushed out.
Long Tianxing couldnt conceal his shock anymore. He was just about to defend himself when he heard a furious roar echoed.
The Flooding Dragon Island Masters face darkened. He immediately unleashed his spirit ki, revealing his true prowess as a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
A late Foundation Establishment cultivator?! Long Tianxing and Xia Xuanji were taken aback.
So was the crowd too.
Whats going on here?
In contrast, his daughter and Ye Wenxiu were overjoyed.
Spirit Heaven City Lord was that person a late Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sea Dragon Sect? Long Tianxing asked with a frown.
The Sea Dragon Sect
The crowd was bewildered too. The Sea Dragon Sect was a powerful sect with a Golden Core cultivator. They had built up a huge reputation not just in Infernoblaze but among surrounding states too.
What did I just see?! A late Foundation Establishment cultivator was killed in a single strike?!
Thats frightening! Is this what sword cultivators are capable of?
Unbelievable! I cant believe my eyes!
Such whispers could be vaguely heard. The crowd looked at Fang Chen in deference.
Late Foundation Establishment Xia Xuanji murmured as cold sweat drenched his blood.
He was glad he backed down earlier. He wouldnt have stood a chance if that sword was directed at him instead. He would have suffered the same fate as the Sea Dragon Sects late Foundation Establish cultivator.
Perhaps, he might not have even been able to leave his dying words!
The Spirit Heaven Sects three elders were terrified.
Even the first elder regretted his decision. Had he known that the sword cultivator was this powerful, he wouldnt have used the communication talisman at all.
The Spirit Heaven City Lord slowly spoke up, He is the Flooding Dragon Island Master, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sea Dragon Sect
Long Tianxing felt a shiver run down his spine. That was a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, but even he couldnt withstand that sword cultivators attack?!
The surroundings fell deathly silent. Only breathing sounds could be heard.
What the crowd didnt know was that Fang Chens face was swiftly aging beneath his mask. Several wrinkles had appeared on his face, making him look more like a middle-aged man in his forties.
Fang Chen knew that he was aging, though he had no way of knowing the extent right now.
His cultivation wasnt high enough for him to execute the Eight Barrens Immortal Subjugation Peerless Swordsmanship, but he still unleashed it twice. This resulted in his core suffering some damage, and it showed on his lifespan.
Sect Master Long, when do you intend to step down as the Qing Province Sword Sect Master? You said that youd relinquish that position to me if I could wound you in a single move, right? Does that offer still hold? Fang Chen asked hoarsely.
The Qing Province Sword Sects cultivators panicked, but they calmed down seconds later.
