Late at night.
It was pitch-black on Green Bamboo Island. Everyone had already fallen asleep.
Fang Chen silently appeared in front of the teleportation formation, attracting the attention of the guards.
However, they relaxed when they discovered that it was the Island Master.
Fang Chen returned to the Island Master's residence.
He scanned with his Divine Sense and instantly discovered that Saber 3 and Liu Xiong were still awake.
Crash.
Fang Chen arrived at their courtyard.
"Who is it?" Saber 3 suddenly asked.
"It's me." Fang Chen smiled and walked straight to Saber 3's side, sitting on the stone bench.
"Brother Fang, why are you back?" Saber 3 and Liu Xiong were a little surprised to see Fang Chen.
"I've already obtained the Sword Origin Fruit."
Fang Chen's words shocked Saber 3 and Liu Xiong.
The Sword Origin Fruit was one of the Yuan Clan's most precious treasures.
It only ripened once every thirty thousand years, and only nine fruits would be produced each time. Fang Chen had actually obtained one.
"Brother Fang, you're really amazing."
Liu Xiong praised. He couldn't help but admire Fang Chen's strength.
To be able to obtain the Sword Origin Fruit safely from the Yuan Clan was enough to show his strength.
At this moment, Saber 3 discovered the change in Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, you've broken through?"
Saber 3 asked in surprise.
Fang Chen nodded. He didn't hide anything from Saber 3.
Moreover, there was nothing to hide about breaking through to the Life and Death Realm.
"Amazing." Saber 3 raised his finger.
After chatting with Saber 3 and Liu Xiong for a while, Fang Chen went to rest.
During this period, Fang Chen had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the other two fruits.
However, he hadn't found anything so far.
He wasn't in a hurry. After all, these two fruits were rare in the world. He would need enough time to find them.
A few days later, at night.
Darkness enveloped the void ocean. There weren't any waves on the calm surface.
Suddenly, some black figures walked out of the void ocean.
Their bodies were filled with intense killing intent.
"This time, we must kill Sanguinati." One of the black figures said.
They were the captives that Monarch Blood Fiend had sent over.
This time, almost all of the captives were mid-level Life and Death Realm Monarchs. Moreover, most of them were at the fifth level, while a few of them were at the sixth level.
The strength of this batch of captives was much stronger than the previous batch.
The Blood Fiend Monarch wanted to kill Sanguinati.
Of course, he had investigated beforehand. Apart from Sanguinati, there were no other Life and Death Realm Monarchs on Green Bamboo Island.
Therefore, the success rate of assassinating Sanguinati was still very high.
However, they were discovered by the old faker as soon as they landed on the Green Bamboo Island.
Although the old faker was recuperating, he could still monitor the whole Green Bamboo Island.
"Kid, there's a group of suspicious Life and Death Realm Emperors on Green Bamboo Island. They seem to be coming for you." The old faker immediately sent a message to Fang Chen.
When the latter heard the news, his face was filled with gloominess.
"They're really in hot pursuit." Fang Chen's face was filled with killing intent.
He sent a message to Blade Three, informing the latter of the situation.
Blade Three and Fang Chen hid in the void, preparing to deal a powerful blow to this batch of captives.
"Brother Blade Three, don't show yourself first. I'll go and meet them." Fang Chen said.
If he could deal with the battle, he wouldn't need Blade Three.
Breaking through to the Life and Death Realm required constant tempering to stabilize one's cultivation base.
"Alright. Be careful."
Blade Three hid in the dark, paying attention to Fang Chen at all times.
Huala!
Fang Chen's figure shuttled through the darkness and soon arrived in front of this batch of captives.
"Sneaky. Where are you going?"
Fang Chen stood there quietly and sneered.
In the silent darkness, a voice suddenly rang out, causing the group of shadows to be startled at the same time.
Soon after, their faces changed greatly. They stopped and looked up.
After looking around, they discovered that there was only one person in front of them.
"Sanguinati."
Someone immediately recognized Sanguinati. They had seen his portrait before.
Seeing Sanguinati alone, the captives were very happy and surrounded Fang Chen.
"Who sent you?" Fang Chen asked calmly.
"Dead people don't need to know so much." The leader said coldly.
Soon after, the captives attacked at the same time.
Rumble …
A terrifying attack instantly landed on Fang Chen's body.
However, Fang Chen used the Space-Time Book to flicker. These people couldn't even catch his figure.
On the other hand, Fang Chen quickly shuttled through the void and launched sneak attacks on these cultivators.
Huala!
The scorching Undying Flame instantly enveloped a fifth level Life and Death Realm Sovereign Emperor.
The latter let out a miserable shriek. In the blink of an eye, his body turned to ashes.
"Don't get enveloped by his flames. End the battle quickly." Seeing this, the leader growled.
Soon after, the captives formed a joint attack formation, trapping Fang Chen within.
Dong!
The joint attack formation's attack power was very strong. Fang Chen couldn't resist it.
He used the Burial Sword Art of Heaven and Earth. The fiftyfold increase in strength from the third layer of the Sword Scripture emerged and slashed at one of the black shadows.
However, he was shocked to find that although the sword slashed at the black shadow, the power was distributed to all the black shadows.
"What joint attack formation is this?"
In the lower realm, Fang Chen's achievements in formation dao were quite extraordinary.
An eight-star formation master was already at the peak of formation dao.
However, he couldn't see through this joint attack formation.
"What a strange joint attack formation. I've never seen it before."
He couldn't find any information about this joint attack formation in his memory.
The more he fought in the joint attack formation, the more he felt how powerful it was.
"It's too exquisite."
Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh. He really couldn't understand.
There was actually such an exquisite joint attack formation in the lower realm.
After a fierce battle, Fang Chen finally sent a voice transmission to Saber Three, asking the latter to attack.
Swoosh!
A resplendent saber light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
This saber light tore through the void, carrying a vast power as it swooped down.
With lightning speed, the saber slashed at one of the black shadows. This black shadow couldn't resist at all and was split in half, dying on the spot.
"Hmm!"
The sudden turn of events shocked the captives.
"Form the formation."
A black shadow was killed, and the joint attack formation collapsed. The leader roared, wanting to form another formation.
However, it was too late.
After Saber Three obtained the inheritance, his strength improved by leaps and bounds. He was invincible among mid-level Life and Death Realm Imperial Emperors.
Even if he encountered high-level Imperial Emperors, he could challenge them.
Puchi
He killed one person with a slash as if he was cutting vegetables.
"Devil."
In the blink of an eye, several captives were killed by Saber Three.
At this moment, Saber Three showed his domineering side.
The strength of the Golden Shield cultivation system was fully displayed.
Fang Chen also attacked at lightning speed, dealing with a fifth-level Life and Death Realm Imperial Emperor.
Puchi
After Saber Three killed seven Life and Death Realm Imperial Emperors, the leader finally felt fear.
"Retreat."
The mission this time ended in failure.
The leader's figure flashed, and he took the lead to escape. When the others saw this, they also used their escape skills and quickly fled.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Seeing this, Saber Three slashed with the long saber in his hand. Immediately, the void was torn apart, and a terrifying saber light slashed at the escaping captives.
Crack!
Several captives couldn't dodge in time and were split in half by the saber light.
However, there were still a few captives who escaped.
They charged into the Void Ocean without any regard for their own safety.
Saber Three wanted to chase after them, but he was stopped by Fang Chen.
"Brother Saber Three, don't chase a cornered enemy," Fang Chen said.
"Brother Fang, who wants to kill you? They actually sent such a large lineup," Saber Three asked.
Fang Chen shook his head, thinking.
"To be able to send so many Life and Death Realm Imperial Emperors at once, they are definitely not ordinary small factions.
Only the Four Great Holy Lands can do that, "Saber Three said in a deep voice.
"You obtained the Sword Origin Fruit. Could it be that the Yuan Race wants to kill you?"
Fang Chen shook his head.
"The aura of these people doesn't seem to be from the Yuan Race."
At this point, Fang Chen came to a few corpses, squatted down, and carefully examined them.
A moment later, his face was a little gloomy.
"Brother Saber Three, can you recognize the power in their bodies?" Fang Chen asked.
Saber Three shook his head, indicating that he couldn't.
"The power in their bodies is unheard of and unseen. It's too strange." Saber Three was surprised.
"Could it be a major force hiding in the dark?"
Saber Three's words made Fang Chen a little vigilant.
That's right, why didn't he think of that?
