In the face of these ferocious attacks, Broken Wisteria painfully closed his eyes and prepared to self-detonate.
Even if he died, he would take one more down with him. This was what Broken Wisteria thought.
However, just as he was about to self-detonate, the world suddenly changed, and a vast energy surged toward him.
Thump!
The entire earth trembled as a dazzling ray of light shot up into the sky.
"What's that?"
Broken Wisteria staggered and managed to stabilize himself with great difficulty. While his heart trembled in fear, he also felt an immense pressure.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the sky, his expression instantly changing.
"Not good!"
Broken Wisteria almost immediately made his choice.
His figure kept jumping, barely dodging the wild power that was swooping down.
The Lin Family disciples attacking him were also sent flying by the shockwaves.
The chaotic Valley of Despair instantly quieted down.
The battle had been forcibly halted by this powerful energy.
Thump!
The two figures retreated from the vast power. After stabilizing themselves, they floated in the air and looked at each other from afar.
"Ancient God Thunder Cry, everyone says that you control the power of Thunder Punishment, but it seems that this is all there is to it."
Lin Yuan sneered.
The battle between the two of them was exceptionally intense. The frightening power from earlier was emitted from their collision.
"Hmph."
Ancient God Thunder Cry coldly snorted, his icy eyes fixed on Lin Yuan.
Below, the battle stopped, and the two sides faced each other.
With great difficulty, Broken Wisteria stood next to Fang Chen and breathed a sigh of relief.
If not for the shockwaves from the battle between the two peerless geniuses reaching this place, he would have already died at the hands of the Lin Family disciples.
Outside the Valley of Despair:
Lin Zilong and Lin Hengyi were rapidly advancing when they suddenly felt the earth tremble.
"What's going on?"
Lin Hengyi cried out.
Lin Zilong stopped, his expression dark. After thinking for a few moments, he said, "It should be caused by the energy erupting from the battle between Big Brother Lin Yuan and Ancient God Thunder Cry."
After saying this, Lin Zilong's figure flashed, and he entered the Valley of Despair.
Swish swish swish.
In just a few seconds, Lin Zilong and Lin Hengyi arrived at the Valley of Despair.
What came into view was the two sides facing each other, as well as Fang Chen who was in a state of epiphany.
"Broken Wisteria?"
When Lin Hengyi saw the Broken Wisteria at first glance, his face suddenly changed, and his killing intent surged.
However, when Lin Zilong saw Fang Chen, his heart was filled with killing intent.
"Big Brother Lin Yuan, he is Fang Chen."
The sudden words broke the silence between the two sides.
At that instant, the gazes of the disciples landed on Lin Zilong's figure.
"What?"
The expressions of Lin Yuan and the others changed slightly as they stared at Fang Chen with their dark eyes.
"Is he Fang Chen?"
Seeing this, Lin Yuan and Lin Tianli were secretly delighted.
They recalled what the head of the Lin Family had said before the war started. The purpose of starting this war was to capture Fang Chen.
Once they succeeded, they would receive endless rewards.
Lin Yuan licked his dry lips, ignored Ancient God Thunder, and looked at Fang Chen.
In an instant, Fang Chen became the center of the entire war.
"Broken Wisteria, give me your life."
Lin Hengyi roared and leaped in front of the Broken Wisteria.
The latter had been seriously injured in the battle just now and was unable to resist Lin Hengyi's powerful attacks, retreating step by step.
Boom!
With a loud sound, the Broken Wisteria's body flew out and fell at Fang Chen's feet.
Puchi!
He spat out blood, his face pale, and his aura weak. He no longer had the ability to fight.
At that moment, Fang Chen's body was still shrouded in an extremely dense Sword Dao aura. He was still in a state of epiphany.
"Hmph, I let you escape last time, but this time, you will die for sure."
Lin Hengyi strode towards the Broken Wisteria with a mocking smile on his face.
In the sky.
Seeing this, Lin Yuan frowned slightly.
"He can actually enter a state of epiphany in this kind of war?"
Lin Yuan was also rather amazed.
"No wonder the Patriarch personally gave the order to capture this boy. It seems that his potential has already reached an unimaginable level."
Across from Lin Yuan, Ancient God Thunder and the others were also rather curious.
What was Lin Zilong thinking? Why did he value Fang Chen so much?
While everyone was pondering, Lin Hengyi had already arrived in front of the Broken Wisteria.
He raised his large hand and pressed down.
Wild energy was contained in his palm. As long as this palm struck the Broken Wisteria's body, the latter would undoubtedly die.
The Broken Wisteria raised his head and glanced at Fang Chen, saying regretfully, "Brother Fang, I didn't fulfill my promise to you."
After saying this, the Broken Wisteria painfully shook his head.
"Die."
Seeing this, Lin Hengyi increased the strength of his palm, and a biting cold light howled.
Buzz!
Just as Lin Hengyi's palm was about to touch the Broken Wisteria, an invisible energy suddenly blocked it.
"Mm?"
A hint of confusion flashed across Lin Hengyi's face, and he increased his strength.
"Break!"
Lin Hengyi angrily roared as he pushed the energy in his palm to the limit, wanting to shatter the barrier and kill the Broken Wisteria.
But the more he used, the greater the barrier became.
Crack!
Suddenly, the invisible energy broke through his palm and blasted toward his head.
"That's …"
It was not until this moment that Lin Hengyi was shocked to discover that the invisible force blocking him was actually a beam of sword light.
"Not good."
Lin Hengyi sensed the power of this sword light and quickly pulled back his palm, preparing to leave.
But it was too late.
Crack!
Under everyone's gaze, this ordinary sword light pierced through Lin Hengyi's head.
The latter's body fell into a pool of blood, instantly dying.
Whoosh!
The entire Valley of Despair was in an uproar.
Fang Chen, who was in the midst of his enlightenment, slowly opened his eyes.
The Sword Qi revolving around his body instantly withdrew, making him seem like an ordinary person. No ripples of energy could be felt.
He didn't even look at Lin Hengyi as he extended his hand to help the Broken Wisteria up.
"How are you?"
The Broken Wisteria shook her head. "I'm fine."
"It's good that you're fine. Retreat to a safe place first," Fang Chen warned.
"You killed Lin Hengyi, so I'll make you wish you were dead."
Lin Zilong's voice echoed throughout the Valley of Despair.
In the distant sky, Lin Yuan also frowned. Even he hadn't been able to clearly see how that sword light had been unleashed.
"This kid isn't simple." This was Lin Yuan's evaluation of Fang Chen.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to attack. Instead, he watched with a mocking gaze as the situation developed.
On the other side, Ancient God Thunder Cry and the others clearly had a hint of surprise on their faces.
"What exquisite swordsmanship."
"He was able to kill Lin Hengyi with just one strike. This level of strength should be enough to rank him in the top ten of the Heavenly Cloud Peak, right?"
"Amazing. So this guy is the one who's been hiding his strength all this time."
The Heavenly Cloud Peak core disciples discussed spiritedly.
Lin Zilong strode forward, his aura soaring as he arrived in front of Fang Chen.
"You chased me for a year, but unfortunately, you didn't manage to catch me."
Seeing Lin Zilong approach, Fang Chen calmly said, "Now, you no longer have the chance."
"You're courting death."
Lin Zilong was enraged and unleashed a wild attack.
The heavens and earth changed colors as Lin Zilong thrust out a palm, unleashing the power of a landslide and a tsunami.
Fang Chen took out the Hidden Star Sword and indifferently said, "To deal with you, I only need one strike."
Swish!
An ordinary sword-light burst out from the Hidden Star Sword.
Invincible Sword Dao, One Sword of Heaven and Earth.
Buzz!
In the blink of an eye, countless sword lights appeared in the heavens and earth. Each sword light contained the exact same power.
A feeling of oppression arose spontaneously.
"Die."
This was the second move that Fang Chen had created after watching Lin Yuan's exquisite swordsmanship and combining it with his own Invincible Sword Dao.
When this move was unleashed, every inch of the air in the heavens and earth was filled with sword light.
It was as if the heavens and earth had become one with his sword light.
He named this move as the One Sword of Heaven and Earth.
This sword contained the ultimate mystery of Sword Dao. After comprehending this sword, Fang Chen seemed to have understood something.
Rumble!
Dense sword light shot out from all directions.
"Damn it."
Lin Zilong roared in anger. At the same time, he activated the power of the Lin Family's bloodline, wanting to forcibly travel through the void.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated the power of the One Sword of Heaven and Earth.
"Stop."
In the distance, Lin Yuan finally couldn't hold back and made a move.
"Your opponent is me."
