Fang Chen thought that it would be easy to gain merit points, but he was wrong.
He underestimated the cruelty of war. His method was effective in the early stages, but as time passed, the Lin Family members became smarter and began to counterattack.
There was even one time when Fang Chen fell into the Lin Family's trap and lost a phantom doppelganger.
Fang Chen, who had the space-time escape technique, didn't have to worry about the phantom doppelganger.
But it was different for others. If they wanted to lure the enemy out, they had to pay a high price.
Half a month later, Fang Chen's merit points had increased to four thousand.
On the merit monument in the Chaos Sky City's war zone, the top ten disciples had more than ten thousand merit points.
His four thousand merit points couldn't even rank in the top thirty. One could imagine how fierce the battle was.
"The enemy is getting more and more cunning. It's difficult to lure them with phantom doppelganger now."
On a mountain peak, Fang Chen stood quietly, looking down at the earth and murmuring.
"But there's still time. The war will last for a long time. There's no need to rush."
Fang Chen continued.
During this time, his understanding of the Invincible Sword Principle had become deeper and deeper.
The Sword of Annihilation was also close to perfection. He even vaguely straightened out the next development of the Invincible Sword Principle.
This was definitely a good thing for him.
"Sure enough, only by experiencing the edge of life and death can one gain enlightenment."
Fang Chen smiled.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the void.
Fang Chen's expression changed slightly, but he soon relaxed.
Because the token in his arms flashed, indicating that the person was a fellow disciple from Tianshu Yuan.
Whoosh!
A man in white armor appeared in front of Fang Chen.
"Did you see the Lin Family members pass by here?"
The man in white armor asked.
Fang Chen shook his head. "I've been chasing him just now. I'm sure he passed by here." The man in white armor said, "You really didn't see him?"
While talking to Fang Chen, the white-armored man quietly approached Fang Chen.
When the latter turned around, the man in white armor suddenly attacked.
"Die!"
He held the spear in his hand and abruptly thrust it forward.
Rip!
The long spear pierced Fang Chen's body.
"You …"
Fang Chen did not expect the latter to attack him.
"What?
You didn't expect this, did you?
A jumping clown will always be a jumping clown. Even if he defeated the number one elite disciple, Mirage Dragon, it would still be useless. "The white-armored man held his spear and exerted force, wanting to pierce through Fang Chen's body.
However, at this moment, he realized that no matter how hard he tried, the spear would not budge.
"What happened?"
The man in white armor looked up and saw that Fang Chen's body was shrouded in a halo of Sword Qi.
"Sword body?"
The white-armored man sneered, "Watch my spear break your sword body."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in white armor kicked the other end of the spear.
Bang!
Suddenly, the power on the tip of the spear soared to the extreme.
Kacha!
The spear pierced through the halo of Sword Qi, causing the halo of Sword Qi formed by Fang Chen's Chaotic Origin Sword Body to show signs of cracking.
"If Tianshu Yuan finds out that you killed a fellow disciple, you will die without a doubt."
Fang Chen said coldly.
"Find out?
Who would know? I'll kill you and take your head to exchange for some contribution points with the disciples of the Lin Clan. Why not? "The white-armored man sneered.
Bang!
"So that's how it is."
Fang Chen nodded. He finally understood why the white-armored man wanted to ambush him.
He lightly shook his head, his face filled with disdain, "When you ambush others, are you prepared to be killed?"
"Startling Spear Thrust."
The man in white armor pulled back his spear. Then, he exerted his strength and stabbed out again.
"Die."
Bang!
This time, Fang Chen pushed his Chaotic Origin Sword Body to the extreme, raising his defense to the highest level.
The white-armored man's spear blocked the halo of Sword Qi.
"What's laughable is that you can't even break my defense. Do you think you can kill me?"
Xiu!
Fang Chen stomped his feet and stepped on the body of the spear. In an instant, he arrived in front of the white-armored man.
Before the white-armored man could react, he punched out.
Dong!
The powerful fist directly suppressed the white-armored man.
"Die."
With a 'kacha' sound, the white-armored man's head shattered. Blood splattered everywhere.
Hua la!
The white-armored man fell. The token on his body automatically appeared and leaned against Fang Chen's token.
The two tokens spun rapidly and stopped after a while.
Fang Chen moved his mind and discovered that his token had an additional 7,000 contribution points.
"Mn?"
Fang Chen was slightly surprised. But after thinking carefully, he understood.
"You reap what you sow."
After glancing at the white-armored man's body, Fang Chen turned and left.
… …
As time passed, the war became more and more brutal.
The number of casualties increased. There were several times when Fang Chen was chased by the Lin Clan experts and escaped to the round disc.
Hua la!
Fang Chen's body appeared outside the Chaotic Sky City.
"You're injured?"
Wu Yu was in charge of this battlefield. When he saw Fang Chen appear, he immediately walked over.
"I was chased by Lin Zilong."
Fang Chen smiled bitterly.
"Lin Zilong is one of the best among the core disciples of the Lin Clan. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Star Ancient Realm and he is ranked third among the core disciples. It's not bad that you could escape from him." Wu Yu said, "You should recuperate here first."
Fang Chen sat down cross-legged and began to recuperate.
In the blink of an eye, the war had lasted for a year.
Fang Chen's merit points had reached more than thirty thousand, but he still couldn't make it into the top ten.
During this period of time, the other two battle zones also had their own results.
The Luotian City battle zone had completely fallen. Only a few dozen official disciples, including Xing Lei, managed to escape with their last breaths.
Among the official disciples of the Lin Clan, a monstrous genius had appeared and completely crushed Xing Lei and the others.
The official disciples of Tianshu Yuan had no power to fight back. They struggled for a year and finally lost.
Three months after the fall of Luotian City, news of victory came from Blackveil City.
The elite disciples of Tianshu Yuan and the Lin Clan were equally matched in the life-and-death struggle.
At the critical moment, Huanlong turned the tide and performed a forbidden illusion, temporarily affecting the Lin Clan disciples and buying time for the other disciples of the Elite Peak.
Thus, the Elite Peak disciples defeated the Lin Clan disciples in one fell swoop.
According to eyewitnesses, when the battle in the Blackveil City battle zone came to an end, it was a scene of devastation. The buildings were almost razed to the ground, and Huanlong was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He was carried out by many elite disciples.
With the help of the elite disciples, Tianshu Yuan managed to win back a city and tied with the Lin Clan for the time being.
At this time, on the Continent of Despair, everyone's eyes were focused on the Chaos Sky City battle zone.
Because this battle was very important to the success of the two superpowers.
If the Tianshu Courtyard were to win, then they would become a first-rate force in the Despair Continent, suppressing the Lin Family until they could not raise their heads.
If the Lin Clan won, they would have three cities and their power would skyrocket. It was very likely that they would surpass Tianshu Yuan in a short time.
Therefore, no one could afford to lose this battle.
In the Chaos Sky City battle zone, many core disciples were in a killing frenzy.
Outside the battle zone.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen opened his eyes. Sword aura surrounded his body.
His mind was filled with a strong sword aura. In just a year, his understanding of the Invincible Sword Principle had reached an incredible level.
"The first step of the Invincible Sword Principle, the Sword of Destruction, has been completely perfected.
As for the second step, I already have some ideas. "
Fang Chen got up. He had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation. If he wanted to create the second move of the Invincible Sword Principle, he would have to experience life and death and carry out endless killing.
He plunged into the battle zone. Wu Yu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "This guy has improved a lot in the past year. I can feel a powerful Sword Principle from him that I have never seen before."
Although he didn't know much about the Invincible Sword Principle, Wu Yu's intuition told him that the Sword Principle that Fang Chen cultivated was absolutely extraordinary.
"I hope you can complete your transformation in this battle," Wu Yu murmured.
He was the one who brought Fang Chen back from the Ancient Saint Chaos. In his heart, he also hoped that Fang Chen could grow.
