As soon as he returned, he saw such a bloody scene.
With Fang Chen's current soul power, he could tell that Xi Qing was heavily injured with just a glance.
"They're both disciples of the Fengtian Palace, but they're so cruel," muttered Fang Chen.
Then, he looked at Mao He.
The Fengtian Sect had always been hostile to him.
Even the Sword Firmament Sect's disciples were hated by the Fengtian Sect.
And Mao He was one of the junior commanders of the Fengtian Sect.
Xi Qing had a good relationship with Fang Chen and had repeatedly helped Fang Chen teach those who challenged Fang Chen a lesson.
But now, Xi Qing had been heavily injured by Mao He.
If it wasn't for Lord He, Xi Qing would've been crippled.
"Damn it!"
An inexplicable rage appeared in Fang Chen's heart. He clenched his fists tightly as he stared at Mao He.
Everyone's attention was drawn to Lord He.
No one noticed that Sanguinati had returned.
Master He's pitch-black eyes stared at Mao He as he asked in a deep voice.
Mao He remained calm in the face of Lord He's question, as if he had already thought of a countermeasure. He slowly said, "Lord He, there's an irreconcilable conflict between Xi Qing and I. We agreed to fight on the martial stage and won't stop until the victor is decided."
"Xi Qing hasn't admitted defeat. I don't think I've broken the rules."
Lord He frowned.
Indeed, Mao He hadn't broken the rules.
Xi Qing hadn't admitted defeat, so their battle was still within reason.
"Xi Qing isn't your match. He's already fallen off the martial stage, but you still want to fight," said Lord He unhappily.
Mao He wanted to say something, but hesitated.
At this moment, another armored commander arrived.
This armored commander was Mao He's backer.
"Brother He, as a commander, there's no need for you to interfere in a battle between junior commanders." The arrival of this commander caused a commotion in the plaza.
No wonder Mao He's expression didn't change when facing Lord He. He had already notified Lord Wang.
"Let's end this matter here."
When Lord He heard this, his expression turned grave as he said in a deep voice.
"The battle isn't over yet. We still have to ask the person involved," said Lord Wang.
He had come to support Mao He.
Since Lord Wang was present, Lord He didn't have much to say.
"Master Wang, my battle with Xi Qing isn't over yet. Unless he kneels down and apologizes," Mao He said bluntly.
"Mao He, don't go too far." Master He scolded.
If it was any other time, Mao He would definitely be terrified after being reprimanded by the armored commander.
However, with Lord Wang backing him up, he wasn't afraid at all.
Today, his goal was to cripple Xi Qing.
Lord Wang and Lord He had always been at odds with one another.
Xi Qing was Lord He's subordinate, and Lord Wang was more than happy to have a chance to weaken Lord He's strength.
Soon after, he chuckled and said, "Old He, if you interfere in the battle between the junior commanders, I won't stand idly by."
Lord Wang's intentions were clear. As long as Lord He made a move, he would surely make a move as well.
For a moment, Master He was in a dilemma.
In the end, he flung his sleeves and glared at Mao He before walking over to Xi Qing's side.
"Xi Qing, just admit defeat."
Lord He's words were already a step back.
A mocking smile appeared on Lord Wang's face when he heard Xi Qing's words.
"Xi Qing, for Lord He's sake, I won't make a move on you if you admit defeat today.
However, one day, I'll definitely break your arms. "
This was a threat, a blatant threat.
With Lord Wang's support, Mao He was as arrogant as the heavens.
Lord He remained silent, and his face was ashen.
Xi Qing, who was extremely weak, was helped up by a few junior commanders from the Sword Firmament Sect. He staggered over to Mao He.
"I, Xi Qing, admit defeat."
Xi Qing's voice was filled with frustration.
However, he was no match for Mao He. There was nothing he could do.
"If you had admitted defeat earlier, you would have been fine."
Mao He placed his hands on Xi Qing's shoulders and secretly used his vital essence to attack Xi Qing's body.
Bang!
Xi Qing's body staggered. He couldn't resist Mao He's attacks and fell to the ground.
"Mao He, you've gone too far."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lord He suddenly attacked.
However, before Lord He could get close to Mao He, Lord Wang stopped him.
They were both armored commanders, and their strength was on par.
Bang!
Lord He's attack was blocked. He looked at Lord Wang angrily.
"Are you really going to stop me?"
"Old He, Xi Qing's skills are inferior. He can't blame anyone for losing to Mao He. If a junior commander can defeat Mao He or even cripple him on the spot, I won't say anything." Lord Wang grinned. His eyes were filled with pride.
He had gone too far.
Lord He clenched his fists. He wanted to send Mao He flying with a punch.
However, Lord Wang stopped him.
The Sword Firmament Sect's disciples glared at Mao He.
If looks could kill, Mao He would have been killed many times over.
"Xi Qing, your body is too weak. Go back and cultivate. Hahaha!"
Mao He looked at Xi Qing with disdain and mocked him.
"Just you wait."
Lord He snorted. He turned around and helped Xi Qing up.
However, at that moment, Fang Chen walked out from the crowd.
"Lord He."
Fang Chen's voice attracted everyone's attention.
Only then did they realize that Sanguinati had returned.
Even Lord Wang had a complicated look in his eyes when he saw Sanguinati.
"Blood Sword Saint." A smile appeared on Mister He's face when he saw this.
The weak Xi Qing greeted Fang Chen. Fang Chen patted him on the shoulder.
Then, Fang Chen walked up to Mao He.
"Lord He, Mao He and I have an irreconcilable feud. Can I make a move against him?"
Fang Chen enunciated each word clearly.
Everyone immediately understood what Sanguinati meant.
He wanted to help Xi Qing get back at him.
"Brother Xue."
Xi Qing's face was filled with worry.
The others also shook their heads.
Lord He didn't reply. He looked at Sanguinati in surprise. He didn't know what Sanguinati meant.
Mao He laughed when he heard Lord He's words.
"Sanguinati, are you trying to help Xi Qing get back at him?"
Sanguinati might be a junior commander, but Mao He didn't fear him at all.
"Do you have the guts to agree?" Fang Chen asked.
"Why wouldn't I?" Mao He sneered.
Lord Wang's eyes flickered. Then, he nodded.
Instantly, the square fell into silence.
Lord He and Lord Wang stood at the sides to support the two of them.
"Sanguinati, swords don't have eyes. Don't blame me if I accidentally injure you," Mao He said.
"I was just about to say that. My sword hasn't tasted fresh blood in a long time," Fang Chen retorted.
Instantly, the two of them were filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"Sanguinati, go ahead. I'll take care of everything," Lord He said.
He seemed to be reminding Fang Chen not to worry about the consequences.
In truth, Lord He was still worried about Sanguinati.
However, when he saw the latter's confident expression, Lord He didn't think too much about it.
"Sanguinati, I hope you can still stand here safe and sound," Mao He said.
Fang Chen was calm.
"One move is enough to deal with you."
Arrogant. Arrogant.
These two words couldn't describe Fang Chen's current attitude.
Sanguinati, who usually kept a low profile, was angered by Mao He.
When he said those words, his face was filled with arrogance.
"You!"
Mao He's face darkened when he heard those words.
The five streams of Vital Essence in his sea of qi started to spin. The terrifying power of Vital Essence instantly poured into the Stage Three Divine Weapon.
Whoosh.
The air around them was filled with a terrifying aura.
Mao He's aura was raised to the maximum.
"Kid, don't try to win with words."
As soon as Mao He finished speaking, he attacked.
He immediately used a fierce and domineering hammer technique.
The hammer in his hand carried a violent force as it slashed through the air toward Fang Chen.
"Sky Demon Sword Art."
The only stream of Vital Essence in his sea of qi started to spin rapidly. The terrifying power of Vital Essence poured into the Hidden Star Sword.
Fang Chen used all his strength to activate the Sky Demon Sword Art. He wanted to defeat his opponent in one move.
Rumble.
This was Fang Chen's first battle after reaching the Heaven Star Border Realm. It was also a battle where he went all out.
Master He, who was standing at the side, was shocked when he saw this.
"Heaven Star Border Realm."
On the other side, Lord Wang was also shocked.
He didn't expect Sanguinati to reach the Heaven Star Border Realm.
"So what if you're in the Heaven Star Border Realm? You'll still lose."
Mao He, who was attacking, shouted coldly.
The power of the hammer instantly increased.
Boom.
The Sky Demon Sword Light and the hammer collided.
Crack.
Under everyone's gaze, the hammer was sent flying by the Sky Demon Sword Light.
"How is this possible?"
All the martial artists cried out involuntarily.
The hammer was a Stage Three Divine Weapon. How could it be sent flying by the sword light so easily?
One could imagine how powerful the sword light was.
"You want to compete with me in terms of strength?"
Fang Chen sneered. He waved the Hidden Star Sword, and the Sky Demon Sword Light shot towards Mao He one after another.
The perfect sword body was so powerful that Mao He's physical body couldn't be compared to it.
Although the Hidden Star Sword was a Stage Two Divine Weapon, there was still a gap between it and a Stage Three Divine Weapon.
However, Fang Chen used his own strength to make up for the gap in this aspect.
"No!"
When the hammer was sent flying, Mao He felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, facing Fang Chen's terrifying attack, he couldn't even say the word 'surrender'.
Swoosh.
The terrifying Sky Demon Sword Light exploded in front of Mao He.
Suddenly, a shockwave swept across the entire arena.
"Surrender!"
Lord Wang shouted with a serious face.
He was trying to help Mao He surrender.
However, it didn't help.
Fang Chen couldn't care less.
If Mao He didn't surrender, the battle wouldn't end.
"Damn it! Stop it!"
Lord Wang shouted angrily. He wanted to stop Lin Yun.
However, he was stopped by Lord He.
"It's better for us, the armored commander, not to interfere in the battle between the junior commanders," Lord He said coldly.
Lord Wang clenched his fists in anger.
Crash.
The explosion on the arena dissipated.
Fang Chen stood there quietly.
