Chapter 76
Sword Intent Emerges, Heaven and Earth Still
"What level of the Concentration Realm is this equivalent to?" Fang Wang asked, his tone tinged with anticipation. ๐โ โ โพ๐ะฝแปฎ๐.ๅเน๐ฆ ๐โจ
He'd been holding it in for too long and wanted to release it!
It just so happens that the other party is the enemy of his new master, so killing him would not be against his conscience!
The Sword Saint frowned and said, "It's equivalent to the fourth or fifth level of the Condensation Realm. My disciple, you must not be reckless. Although you have mastered the sword intent of heaven and earth, it is precisely because your aptitude and comprehension are so incredible that you must be even more careful. As long as you survive, the heights you will reach in the future will be far beyond what you can imagine now."
In the end, he couldn't help but cough again because he was too emotional.
Fang Wang had no choice but to give up and said, "Okay, Master, I'll listen to you. Don't worry."
At this moment, the Sword Saint was almost at his limit, and he couldn't go against the tide.
"That great demon king was intimidated by me and dared not make a move for a while. Come back in two days later and leave with Yu Han... I want to rest."
After speaking, the Sword Saint slowly closed his eyes. His back was hunched, and his whole body seemed to be curled up, showing his vicissitudes and desolation.
Fang Wang put the Sword Lord's Token into his storage bag, then bowed to the Sword Saint and turned to leave.
After leaving the attic, he closed the door.
As he stepped down the steps, he suddenly saw a figure standing on the lake. It was the eerie man, dressed in black, his long hair fluttering in the lake breeze. Even in broad daylight, he looked terrifying.
The eerie man stared at Fang Wang expressionlessly.
Fang Wang was not afraid at all. He stepped forward and walked all the way to the bridgehead, where he sat down to face the strange man.
Fang Wang took out the Qiankun Fan, waved it gently, and then admired the scenery on the lake without cultivating.
Xiao Zi seemed to sense Fang Wang's attitude. She crawled out of his arms, coiled around his shoulder, and turned her snake head toward the strange man, constantly flicking her tongue.
Seeing Fang Wang's fearlessness, the strange man frowned.
After watching for a while, the eerie man silently retreated and disappeared into the vast fog.
"Young master, you're really amazing now! You can even scare away the great demon king," Xiao Zi said in an admiring tone.
Fang Wang calmly said, "He's not afraid of me, he's afraid of my master."
The time spent cultivating the Heaven and Earth Sword Intent proves how powerful the Sword Saint's swordsmanship is, second only to the True Skill of Battle. This shows that, in terms of swordsmanship alone, the Sword Saint's attainment in the Dao is comparable to that of the Great Sage.
Of course, Fang Wang didn't know the Great Sage, but this comparison was enough to make him admire the Sword Saint.
The Sword Saint was definitely the strongest person he had ever encountered in his lifetime.
The Great Qi cultivation world, ruled by the nine major sects, still has many powerful cultivators, and the world outside the Great Qi cultivation world is even more vast and boundless. Fang Wang felt his heart surge with excitement when he thought of this.
What kind of splendor would one witness if they could stand at the pinnacle of human existence?
As Fang Wang pondered this, he simultaneously sensed Jian Tianze's sword intent encompassing all things.
Since he mastered the Heaven and Earth Sword Intent to perfection, his world has been completely different. Everything has its own will and can even be transformed into the Heaven and Earth Sword Intent for his use, including the stones by the lake.
Xiao Zi leaned on his shoulder, vaguely sensing something, and then calmed down.
โฆโฆ
Two days passed quickly.
Around noon.
Fang Wang suddenly sensed something, stood up, and turned to look at the pavilion behind him.
Little Purple, perched on his shoulder, also opened its eyes and muttered, "Such powerful sword energy..."
Fang Wang smiled. With the sword energy of the Sword Saint, Fang Hanyu not only obtained a higher-grade natal spirit, but his cultivation was bound to skyrocket, truly undergoing a complete transformation.
The sword energy that has been displayed so far, although far inferior to that of a Sword Saint, seems to be enough to deal with cultivators at the lower level of the Profound Heart Realm.
Fang Wang felt relieved. With Fang Hanyu growing up, the Fang family would be more secure. He was busy cultivating on weekdays, and Zhou Xue also had her own things to do. Someone had to protect the Fang family.
boom!
The sword energy inside the pavilion suddenly surged, the eaves were blown open, and a figure soared into the air, the pillar of sword energy shooting straight into the sky.
Fang Wang stared intently and saw Fang Hanyu's figure floating inside the pillar of sword energy. He was standing a hundred feet in the air, with a sword floating above his head. It was an extremely ordinary sword with an unrefined design, but the earth-shaking sword energy emanated from this sword.
The mountains surrounding Jian Tianze trembled, and the lake surface surged with towering waves, demonstrating just how terrifying the Sword Saint's sword energy was.
The cloth strip on Fang Hanyu's face had disappeared, and his pair of blue eyes with bloodshot pupils were wide open, as if possessed by a ghost or god, exuding an indescribable killing intent.
Fang Wang raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that the torture that Qingchan Valley had inflicted on Fang Hanyu had a great impact on him and had not yet dissipated. That murderous intent had been imprinted into his bones.
At the same time, powerful auras rushed in from all directions. The strange man and his subordinates arrived first, followed by the sword saint's sword servants, and even Gu Tianxiong arrived on the waves.
There are at least five or six hundred sword cultivators currently staying in Jian Tianze. The weakest among them are at the Spirit Shaping Realm, and there are twenty or thirty at the Profound Heart Realm. All of them are renowned cultivators.
More and more cultivators arrived, all looking up at Fang Hanyu with varying expressions, and none of them acted rashly.
"Who is that person?"
"Such powerful sword energy, what kind of magical treasure is that?"
"Wait, isn't this the Sword Saint's sword energy?"
Why is the Sword Saint's sword energy on him?
"Could it be that he inherited the Sword Saint's legacy? I remember him; he participated in the inheritance trial before..."
The cultivators were abuzz with discussion. When someone speculated that Fang Hanyu had obtained the Sword Saint's inheritance, the cultivators immediately became anxious, and some of them looked at Fang Hanyu with ill intent.
At this moment, Fang Hanyu was suspended in the air. Although his eyes were open, he was clearly not fully awake yet. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged towards him and concentrated between him and the sword.
Gu Tianxiong approached Fang Wang and asked curiously, "Brother, what happened?"
Just as Fang Wang was about to answer, a startled cry rang out, and judging from the sound, it was clear that the person was gritting their teeth.
"Fang Wang!"
The name Fang Wang seemed to possess some kind of magic, and all the cultivators subconsciously looked at the speaker. They saw Song Jinyuan standing by the lake, gritting his teeth as he looked at Fang Wang.
Following Song Jinyuan's gaze, everyone looked at Fang Wang.
Gu Tianxiong frowned and roared, "I'm not Fang Wang!"
He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something, abruptly turned his head to look at Fang Wang, his eyes widening.
Fang Wang sighed; it seemed he couldn't hide it any longer.
If you can't hide it, then so be it!
A true man should act with integrity and uprightness. He was too weak before, but now he has no fear!
Fang Wang nodded to Song Jinyuan as a sign of politeness, then turned his gaze back to Fang Hanyu in the air.
Fang Hanyu slowly raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the sword above his head.
"That's very likely the Sword Saint's divine sword; we can't let him get it!"
Someone exclaimed, instantly drawing everyone's attention back to Fang Hanyu.
Immediately, someone took to the air and charged towards Fang Hanyu on their sword.
With someone taking the lead, more cultivators rushed over immediately; a quick glance revealed at least fifty cultivators.
boom!
Suddenly, an overwhelming aura erupted, and the wooden bridge beneath Fang Wang's feet shattered instantly. Gu Tianxiong was startled and stumbled, almost falling into the lake.
The monks who were advancing all stopped. They looked at the swords in their hands and at the ground beneath their feet, their faces filled with horror and disbelief.
Immediately, they all turned to look at Fang Wang, even the strange man on the lake frowned and looked at Fang Wang.
Fang Wang was surrounded by terrifying sword intent, which caused the space to fluctuate. His sword intent covered Jian Tianze in an instant. Although the sword energy could not be seen, everyone felt that there was sword energy all around them. The slightest movement could result in being shattered to pieces. This feeling made them shudder.
"Heaven and Earth Sword Intent!"
The eerie man stared at Fang Wang and spoke slowly and deliberately.
Fang Wang's gaze remained fixed on Fang Hanyu. He slowly said, "Don't make any rash moves. He's my brother. Anyone who dares to touch him will die."
Empowered by the sword intent of heaven and earth, his voice echoed endlessly over Jian Tianze, startling everyone.
What kind of sword intent is this?
Apart from the strange man, no one, including the sword servants, had ever truly witnessed the sword saint's sword intent, so they were all filled with fear at this moment.
One person intimidated hundreds of sword cultivators!
When the sword intent is unleashed, the world falls silent!
Inside the attic.
The Sword Saint slowly raised his head, a smile appearing in his cloudy eyes, and murmured, "He has mastered the sword intent of heaven and earth... no, he has surpassed me... dual-life heavenly essence... unimaginable sword comprehension, so there really are people destined by heaven in this world... this is truly my great fortune..."
He finished speaking haltingly, and finally, his head slumped down, and his hands fell naturally to the ground.
โฆโฆ
Gu Tianxiong stared blankly at Fang Wang, feeling as if he were in a dream.
His Zhou Yu buddy was none other than the famous Fang Wang.
Is he the genius that his daughter often mentions in her letters?
Fang Wang felt his gaze, turned to look at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Gu, don't panic. If you don't move, I won't kill you."
Even though there was no murderous intent and the manner was quite mild, it still gave Gu Tianxiong goosebumps and filled him with fear.
"Heh, I didn't expect the Sword Saint to have a successor."
The eerie voice of the man came through, his tone chilling.
He strode towards Fang Wang, his black demonic energy spreading and surging violently as he resisted Fang Wang's Heaven and Earth Sword Intent.
As his demonic aura erupted, most of the sword cultivators were moved.
ัฯั TTKฮNโ
What a terrifying demonic aura!
This thing is a demon!
Song Jinyuan paid no attention to the strange man; his gaze was fixed on Fang Wang.
At that moment, his mind went completely blank.
Fang Wang's figure gradually overlapped with that of his master in his eyes.
"Why... how did he manage to learn that...?"
Song Jinyuan thought despairingly that he couldn't even feel jealous because the gap between them was too big.
Fang Wang turned around and faced the strange man walking out of the lake. Behind the strange man, the eighteen people also exuded a demonic aura, and their faces turned into demons, each one ferocious and terrifying.
An eerie demonic aura, like black mist, rapidly spread across the entire lake surface, dispersing the thick fog formed by spiritual energy.
Fang Wang held the Qiankun Fan in his right hand and shook it slightly, displaying the elegant demeanor of Zhou Yu with his feather fan and silk turban. Facing the Great Demon King, he remained calm and even showed anticipation in his eyes.
"Young master, kill him!"
Xiao Zi couldn't help but call out from Fang Wang's shoulder. Her sweet voice startled Gu Tianxiong awake, and he stared at Xiao Zi in astonishment.
This is a female banshee!
Gu Tianxiong blushed deeply when he thought of what he had said to Fang Wang.
