Within three days, the Li Family and the Wang Family raised the conditions for the wager. After some discussion, the Wang Family agreed to the Li Family's conditions.
Although the Li Family's situation was very strange, the Wang Family believed that they would be able to win against the Li Family.
"Hahaha, three cities. As long as we have these three cities, we will be able to contend with the Li Family." This was a voice that came from the Wang Family.
This time, the wager of one city was raised to three cities.
Originally, the Li Family wanted to raise the wager a little more, but they had their concerns. Firstly, if they raised the wager too high, the Wang Family would definitely be suspicious and reject them.
Secondly, they were also worried about Fang Chen. Although Fang Chen's strength was extremely tyrannical, it was better to be safe than sorry.
Three cities. As long as they could obtain these three cities, the Li Family would be able to completely crush the Wang Family. From then on, there would be no other power in the Mo Yun Country that could shake the Li Family's position.
This was a huge wager. The Li Family could not afford to lose.
Time passed by unknowingly.
During this time, Li Qing brought Fang Chen around the Imperial City of the Mo Yun Country.
Three days later, in the morning, Li Qing came directly to the courtyard where Fang Chen was.
"Brother Fang, are you ready?" Li Qing asked as he looked at Fang Chen with a smile.
Fang Chen nodded. Then, under Li Qing's lead, he came to the Li Family's meeting hall.
Seeing Fang Chen's arrival, many of the elders greeted Fang Chen. Even the Li Family's Patriarch, Li Zheng, welcomed Fang Chen with a smile.
"Fang Chen, today's battle is extremely important. Whether or not our Li Family can suppress the Wang Family will depend on you." Li Zheng patted Fang Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.
"I will definitely not disappoint you." Fang Chen said. Since he had promised someone, he would definitely do it.
Unless the opponent was a Qi Hai warrior, Fang Chen would not hesitate to fight Mo Tian.
In the end, Li Zheng told Fang Chen about the details of today's battle. Then, he brought Fang Chen to the location of the battle.
The Li Family was a top-notch family clan in the Mo Yun Kingdom. Therefore, they had immense power and influence in the Imperial Capital.
In order to let all the cultivators in the Imperial Capital see the power of the Li family, the Li family deliberately chose the central square of the Imperial Capital as the battlefield.
In the central square of the imperial capital, there was a martial arts stage. No one came to this martial arts stage all year round, but today was different.
Before the people from the two clans arrived, the central square was already packed with people.
When Fang Chen followed Patriarch Li Zheng to the Central Plaza, he could not help but sigh. The popularity of this place was simply too high.
"Fang Chen, let's go."
Li Zheng brought Fang Chen to the Li Family's area and sat in the first row. Li Qing sat beside Fang Chen.
Not long after Li Zheng and the others arrived, the people from the Wang Family also arrived.
The Wang Family was led by the Patriarch of the Wang Family. Behind the Patriarch of the Wang Family were some young disciples. Among them, a man wearing a black robe attracted Fang Chen's attention.
"Fang Chen, that man wearing a black robe will be your opponent today." Li Zheng said in a low voice.
Fang Chen looked at the black-robed man. The black-robed man seemed to have noticed that someone was looking at him. He raised his eyes and met Fang Chen's eyes.
However, the black-robed man only glanced at Fang Chen for a moment before turning his head. He followed the Patriarch of the Wang Family and sat in the Wang Family's area.
"Li Zheng, I didn't expect you to come so early." The Patriarch of the Wang Family laughed heartily.
"You're not too late either." Li Zheng said.
"Li Zheng, your Li Family is the number one family in the Ink Cloud Nation. I trust that even if you lose, you won't go back on your word."
"Are you so sure that our Li Family will lose?" Li Zheng retorted.
"My Wang Family will definitely win this battle." The Patriarch of the Wang Family solemnly said.
Li Zheng didn't want to argue with the Patriarch of the Wang Family and coldly said, "There's no point in talking. Let's meet on the martial practice field."
"Wanggu."
The Patriarch of the Wang Family called out to the black-robed man beside him.
Soon after, the black-robed man called Wanggu slowly walked onto the martial practice field under everyone's gazes.
After Wanggu walked onto the martial practice field, the Patriarch of the Wang Family said, "This time, the representative of my Wang Family's younger generation is Wanggu. Who from your Li Family will fight?"
Without waiting for Li Zheng to speak, Fang Chen stood up and walked onto the martial practice field.
All the cultivators were shocked when they saw Fang Chen. Wasn't the strongest person in the Li Family's younger generation Li Qing? Who was this unfamiliar man?
The instant the Patriarch of the Wang Family saw Fang Chen, he knew that the Li Family had also asked for outside help. However, no matter how he observed, he couldn't find anything special about Fang Chen.
"Although you've also asked for outside help, you're not Wanggu's match." The Patriarch of the Wang Family thought to himself.
Although Fang Chen had shocked everyone at Ink Cloud Pass, the news hadn't spread to the capital yet. Thus, the Wang Family didn't know how terrifying Fang Chen was.
Even if they knew, they would still be very confident in Wanggu's strength.
At this moment, Li Qing was smiling as he looked at Fang Chen. He was the clearest about Fang Chen's strength and had the right to speak.
"Brother Fang will definitely win." Li Qing inwardly said.
At this moment, on the martial arts stage, Fang Chen was calmly looking at Wanggu. Wanggu was also observing him.
After a long while, a strange smile appeared on Wanggu's face. He then said, "When I, Wanggu, take action, there has never been a survivor. It's not too late for you to admit defeat now."
Wanggu's words were full of threats. Fang Chen frowned when he heard this. He hadn't expected this black-robed man to be so cruel and overbearing.
"Never leave a survivor?" Fang Chen asked in return. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
When he heard Fang Chen's words, Wanggu nodded and said, "Your courage is commendable. I hope that your strength matches your courage."
"You talk too much nonsense," Fang Chen said.
Boom!
Fang Chen's words enraged Wanggu. No one who knew his background dared to speak to him in such a manner.
"I hope that you can still be so relaxed later."
As soon as Wanggu finished speaking, a tyrannical black aura emerged from his body. This black aura instantly enveloped Wanggu.
"What kind of cultivation technique is this?" Fang Chen was astonished. His eyes were fixed on Wanggu, who was enveloped by the black aura.
Whoosh!
The black aura around Wanggu's body continued to rise. When the aura reached its peak, Wanggu let out a low roar and a strong gale appeared around him.
In the next moment, a long black blade appeared in Wanggu's hand. This long blade was full of decay. If it was in the hands of someone else, Fang Chen would definitely think that it was a worn-out blade.
However, this long blade was in Wanggu's hands. Fang Chen didn't dare to underestimate the origin of this battle blade.
"Demonic Arts!"
A thought suddenly flashed in Fang Chen's mind when he sensed the aura on Mo Gu's body.
In the Ancient Sword Continent, there were countless warriors. Some warriors didn't follow the orthodox path and didn't hesitate to cultivate demonic arts in order to take a shortcut.
Although the cultivation speed of demonic arts was fast, the slightest carelessness could cause one to fall into the demonic path. In the best case scenario, one would become a madman. In the worst case scenario, one would explode and die on the spot.
Demonic Arts were very rare in the Ancient Sword Continent. Under normal circumstances, warriors who dared to choose demonic arts were those with great perseverance or some extremely talented warriors.
After these warriors chose demonic arts, their strength would skyrocket and they would be invincible in the same realm.
Although demonic arts were harmful to ordinary warriors, it wasn't to the extent that the whole continent would surround and annihilate them. Therefore, demonic Arts had been roaming the continent all these years.
Demonic Arts were different from the Yellow Spring Sect. The purpose of demonic Arts was to become stronger. In order to become stronger, they would do anything. This was similar to the cruel world of martial arts.
However, the Yellow Spring Sect was different. In the past, the Yellow Spring Sect was bent on dominating the Ancient Sword Continent. They even started a war, causing the entire Ancient Sword Continent to fall into a state of misery and suffering.
In the end, the Ancient Sword Continent's orthodox Sect couldn't bear it any longer and joined forces to exterminate the Yellow Spring Sect.
Fang Chen was also a bit surprised. He hadn't expected to see demonic Arts in the Inkcloud Empire.
It was said that every demonic Art possessed a secret art that would allow their combat strength to skyrocket for a short period of time. Once they couldn't defeat their opponent, they would use this secret art to flee.
Of course, this secret art had a side effect. Once the time limit was up, they would become incomparably weak. Even an ordinary warrior would be able to kill them.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, demonic Arts weren't willing to use this secret art.
When Fang Chen learned that Mogu was a demonic Art, he was also a bit wary of him.
Motes of light flickered on Mogu's saber. These motes of light contained a boundless aura.
At this time, in the Li family's area below the martial stage, Li Zheng had also discovered Mogu's demonic arts.
"Damn it, the Wang family actually found a demonic Art. Can Fang Chen defeat him?" Li Zheng was a little worried.
If they had known that Mogu was a demonic Art, they wouldn't have dared to raise the stakes. Li Zheng's expression was incomparably solemn.
Even Li Qing, who understood Fang Chen very well, was worried when he saw Mogu's demonic arts.
On the martial stage, Fang Chen calmly looked at Mogu's demonic arts. This was the first time he had encountered a demonic Art.
"Putting on an act."
Seeing Fang Chen's calm expression, Mogu snorted coldly. He clenched his saber tightly and the black aura around him instantly drilled into the saber.
When the black aura drilled into the saber, Fang Chen discovered that the saber seemed to have a mind of its own. It emitted a saber hum.
"Demonic Art Heavenly Saber, Saber Slaying Fanatics!"
Suddenly, Mogu let out a low roar. The saber in his hand suddenly slashed at the void. At the same time, the void seemed to be torn apart.
Crash!
A blade-light appeared in the sky instantly. This blade-light contained an exceedingly majestic aura.
The Demonic Art Heavenly Saber was a demonic art that Mogu had cultivated. The saber that killed Kuangtu was only the first move of the Demonic Art Heavenly Saber.
Mogu was very confident in the Demonic Art Heavenly Saber. He believed that this move would be enough to defeat Fang Chen and even kill Fang Chen.
