The Forest of Swords was extremely dangerous. Normal martial artists would not be able to advance much.
At first, Yuwen Batian could not believe that Fang Chen could advance 26 meters. But when he saw the withered grass in Fang Chen's hand, he was filled with dissatisfaction.
Although he was dissatisfied, a loss was a loss in front of everyone. Yuwen Batian was not a sore loser.
Crash!
Yuwen Batian took out a million mid-grade spirit stones and handed them to Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, don't be so smug. The Forest of Swords relies on the feeling of the sword, not strength. If you have the guts, fight me to the death," Yuwen Batian said coldly.
Fang Chen put away the million mid-grade spirit stones and looked at Yuwen Batian as if he was a monster. "Is there something wrong with your head?"
The crowd was stunned, not knowing what Fang Chen was talking about.
"I'm obviously not as strong as you, and you want me to fight you to the death? Is there something wrong with your head?" Fang Chen mocked.
He was now at the peak of the Second Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm. At most, he could deal with disciples at the early Fifth Realm. It would be difficult for him to deal with Yuwen Batian, who was at the peak of the Fifth Realm.
Therefore, Fang Chen would not fight Yuwen Batian to the death at this time.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Yuwen Batian's face darkened.
"Hmph, I'll wait for the day we fight to the death. I hope it won't be too far away," Yuwen Batian said coldly and turned to leave.
After losing the bet, Yuwen Batian was furious. A million mid-grade spirit stones was equivalent to a low-level Yuan Soldier. He felt a little heartache.
"Hmph, Fang Chen, you won't live for long," Yuwen Batian thought to himself.
After Yuwen Batian left the Forest of Swords, Fang Chen also left.
Many disciples were whispering among themselves.
However, just as Fang Chen left, a disciple came from afar. Fang Chen did not notice this disciple, but this disciple noticed Fang Chen.
"How could it be him?" He Yang's face was full of doubt as he asked.
In the Tianguang Secret Realm, He Yang had met Fang Chen by chance. He was afraid that Fang Chen would ruin his plan, so he wanted to kill Fang Chen.
However, he hadn't expected that Fang Chen would have four puppets. Not only had he failed to kill Fang Chen, but he had also nearly died in the Sky Light Secret Realm.
After that, He Yang realized that the puppet he had obtained with great difficulty had lost its connection to him. He Yang concluded that this matter must have been done by Fang Chen.
Therefore, he hated Fang Chen very much, but he didn't know Fang Chen.
After returning from the Sky Light Secret Realm, He Yang had been searching for Fang Chen in the Intermediate Area. However, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find Fang Chen.
After that, he stopped searching.
However, he didn't expect to meet Fang Chen at this time.
"Damn it!"
He Yang roared angrily in his heart, but on the surface, he looked at Fang Chen calmly.
Looking at Fang Chen's back, He Yang walked to the front of the Sword Forest and asked, "What is the name of the disciple who just left?"
"Senior Brother He Yang, you don't even know him? His name is Fang Chen. He is a new disciple, but he is very arrogant. As soon as he entered the Intermediate Area, he fought with Long Jun and killed him."
"When he fought with Senior Brother Yuwen in the Sword Forest, he also suppressed Senior Brother Yuwen and caused Senior Brother Yuwen to lose a million Medium Spirit Stones."
"This kid is a monster. He has a Rank 4 Sword Dao talent." Many disciples were talking.
Hearing this, He Yang nodded slightly and made a mental note of Fang Chen's name.
"Fang Chen, you stole everything from me. I will definitely take it back. Moreover, I will make you suffer." He Yang thought to himself.
After killing Yuwen Batian, Fang Chen was also very happy.
"Yuwen Batian, just you wait. One day, I will surpass you." Fang Chen thought to himself.
The reason why Fang Chen said that he had advanced twenty-six meters in the Sword Forest was to anger Yuwen Batian. No more, no less, it was exactly one meter more than him.
In fact, Fang Chen had already reached the end of the Sword Forest. If this news were to spread, the shock would be no less than his talent being off the charts.
After all, in the history of Kamikaze Kenbu, no one had been able to reach the end of the Sword Forest.
Of course, Fang Chen knew that it was all because of the mysterious golden heart. If it wasn't for the golden heart, he definitely wouldn't have reached the end of the Sword Forest.
If Yuwen Batian knew that Fang Chen had actually reached the end of the Sword Forest, he would definitely be shocked.
In the following days, Fang Chen would go to the Sword Forest from time to time to comprehend. Sometimes, he would also go to the Cultivation Tower to cultivate.
In short, the days passed by quickly.
However, Fang Chen's cultivation seemed to have stagnated. He was unable to break through to the Qi Transformation Third Realm. This made Fang Chen feel helpless.
Finally, after a lot of research, Fang Chen found out about a kind of elixir that could allow him to break through his bottleneck.
The Qi Transformation Elixir was a low-tier origin level elixir. Only an alchemy master could refine it.
The Elixir Hall in Kamikaze Kenbu didn't have such an elixir. Fang Chen planned to go to the Imperial Capital to take a look and also visit the King.
Fang Chen packed up his things and left Kamikaze Kenbu.
The disciples of Kamikaze Kenbu were relatively free and could go out to train at any time.
He entered the Holy Wind Mountain Range with ease and quickly rushed out of the mountain range. Fang Chen originally wanted to reach the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, but the world was unpredictable.
He didn't expect to meet a group of mounted bandits in the Holy Wind Mountain Range.
There were a total of ten mounted bandits. Basically, they were all at the Qi Transformation Fourth Realm. In the outside world, they could be considered a rather tyrannical mounted bandit group.
"Kid, leave your things behind and we can leave your corpse intact," said the leader of the mounted bandits.
Fang Chen frowned slightly and said, "You even dare to rob a disciple of Kamikaze Kenbu."
"Hmph, so what if you're a disciple of Kamikaze Kenbu? Even if I kill you, no one will know. So you better cooperate obediently." The leader of the mounted bandits sneered.
"Kid, hurry up and hand over your things."
"What if I don't cooperate?" asked Fang Chen.
"If you don't cooperate, are you courting death?" The leader of the mounted bandits shouted sternly.
"You're wrong. You're the ones courting death."
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, the Qingyun Sword in his hand suddenly displayed the Taiyi Dispersing Sword.
After this period of cultivation, Fang Chen's Taiyi Dispersing Sword had been cultivated to the seventh level. The seventh level of the Taiyi Dispersing Sword was even more tyrannical.
Puchi
When Fang Chen displayed the Taiyi Dispersing Sword, wherever the sword light passed, the mounted bandits fell into a pool of blood.
"Kid, you dare to kill our people? You're courting death," the leader of the mounted bandits said angrily.
In an instant, all the mounted bandits joined forces to surround Fang Chen. However, they still underestimated Fang Chen's strength.
A month ago, Fang Chen was already able to kill Long Jun, who was at the Qi Transformation Fourth Realm. In Fang Chen's eyes, these mounted bandits were nothing to be afraid of.
Puchi
With a stab of the sword, a mounted bandit died. In a short while, half of the ten mounted bandits were dead.
"D * mn it, they're too tough. Let's go." At this moment, the leader of the mounted bandits realized Fang Chen's tyrannical strength and wanted to escape.
However, Fang Chen was not willing to give them the chance.
"Stay."
Fang Chen growled and displayed the Taiyi Dispersing Sword. The tyrannical sword force was activated. Suddenly, the sword light filled the sky and pierced the bodies of the mounted bandits.
Puchi Puchi Puchi
In a short while, the mounted bandits, including the leader of the mounted bandits, were all dead.
Fang Chen looked at the mounted bandits lying in a pool of blood and shook his head slightly. His principle was that if people did not offend him, he would not offend them. If people offended him, he would retaliate.
After killing the mounted bandits, Fang Chen checked the spatial rings of the ten mounted bandits. He found that there was nothing in the spatial rings of the nine mounted bandits. They were all worthless items.
As for the mounted bandit leader's spatial ring, there was a huge amount of wealth. Fang Chen estimated that there was around two million middle grade spirit stones in there.
"No wonder you want to be mounted bandits. Money comes too quickly." Fang Chen sighed.
Then Fang Chen turned and left.
The moment Fang Chen left, a figure appeared from a hidden place.
"Damnit, how is Fang Chen so strong?" He Yang couldn't help cursing.
When he had discovered Fang Chen, He Yang had been secretly paying attention to Fang Chen. After learning more about Fang Chen, He Yang found that Fang Chen's strength had exceeded his imagination.
Furthermore, Fang Chen still had several puppets in his hands. If He Yang wanted to rely on his own strength to kill Fang Chen, there was not the slightest possibility of that happening.
"It seems I can only rely on others." He Yang sinisterly said and then disappeared from the Divine Wind Mountain Range.
After leaving the Divine Wind Mountain Range, Fang Chen quickly rushed back to the imperial capital.
By the time he reached the imperial capital, it was already noon. Fang Chen first went to find a merchant association and stated his purpose for coming. He wanted to buy a Qi Transformation Pill.
But contrary to Fang Chen's expectations, their merchant association's Qi Transformation Pills had all been purchased yesterday. If he wanted to buy more, he would have to wait for the next batch.
Within their merchant association, there was an alchemy grandmaster refining pills.
"There's no other way. I can only wait." Fang Chen faintly said.
Then Fang Chen turned and left. He went to the Hu King's residence.
"Can I trouble you to announce that Fang Chen requests an audience with the Hu King?" Fang Chen said to the guard in front of the Hu King's residence.
"Wait here." After the guard finished speaking, he went into the mansion to report the matter.
A moment later, the guard returned. He nodded to Fang Chen and said, "You can go in."
Fang Chen entered the Hu King's residence. After learning that the Hu King was in his study, he went to the study.
"Uncle Wen." Fang Chen cupped his hands in greeting when he saw the Hu King once more.
"Fang Chen, you've come." The Hu King softly said when he saw Fang Chen.
Fang Chen noticed that the Hu King's expression was ugly. It seemed his mood wasn't too good.
Furthermore, Fang Chen saw that the Hu King wasn't drinking tea. There wasn't a teacup on the table. Normally, the Hu King liked to drink tea when he was reading. But now he was clearly in a very bad mood.
"Uncle Wen, what happened? Why is your expression so ugly?" Fang Chen worriedly asked.
