The densely packed World Devouring Insects rapidly died under Fang Chen's Chaotic Origin Sword.
"No!"
The Insect Demon was unwilling to give up. He roared furiously, but under Fang Chen's sharp sword technique, he could not resist at all.
The World Devouring Insects were his foundation. Once they were destroyed by Fang Chen, he would fall into eternal damnation.
Hence, he had to protect the World Devouring Insects at all costs.
"Damn you."
The Insect Demon frantically punched out with his iron fists, wanting to disturb Fang Chen.
But he was wrong. The Chaotic Origin Sword was too powerful and could not be blocked at all.
Puchi!
The Insect Demon's body was pierced by the Hidden Star Sword, nearly dying.
With a peng, the Insect Demon's body flew out and smashed onto the ground.
Fang Chen glanced at the heavily injured Insect Demon and sneered. He continued to wave the Hidden Star Sword to kill the World Devouring Insects.
In the sky, the Hand of Despair who had been watching the battle finally could not bear it anymore.
"The World Devouring Insects are also good stuff."
The Hand of Despair sighed.
The Dragon Controller's body trembled when he heard that. He waved his palm, causing a crack to appear in the void. He slowly walked out from it.
"Enough."
The Dragon Controller's voice rumbled, causing everyone to bend forward and backward.
The Dragon Controller flicked his finger, causing a resplendent finger light to appear in front of the World Devouring Insects, protecting the remaining insects.
Kacha!
The Hidden Star Sword clashed with the finger light, creating a metallic sound.
Dong!
A vast aura erupted. Fang Chen took a few steps back before stabilizing his body.
He held the Hidden Star Sword in his hand and stared at the Dragon Controller who appeared out of nowhere.
"The World Devouring Insects are good stuff. It's a pity to kill them."
The Dragon Controller did not care about everyone's shocked gaze. He waved his sleeve and kept all the remaining World Devouring Insects.
"Puchi!"
Seeing that, the heavily injured Insect Demon spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
On the rostrum, when the experts saw the Dragon Controller, they immediately thought of the Hand of Despair.
Could it be that the Hand of Despair was watching in the dark?
"Not bad."
The Dragon Controller nodded at Fang Chen and praised him. At the same time, he glanced at the head of the Lin Family and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
"No."
The head of the Lin Family said with a hollow laugh.
What kind of joke was this?
Everyone knew that the Hand of Despair was behind the Dragon Tamer.
That was the strongest overlord of the entire Despair Continent. No one was allowed to disobey the will of Despair Hand.
"If not, then let's continue."
With a leap, the Dragon Controller returned to the sky and disappeared from everyone's sight.
For a moment, the crowd was discussing in low voices. The Lin Family's Clan Leader and the others were filled with helplessness.
No one could resist the temptation of the World Devouring Bug.
However, he could only watch helplessly as the Dragon Controller took them away.
"Who else?"
After defeating the Insect Demon, Fang Chen's reputation reached its peak.
Holding the Star Hidden Sword in his hand, he stood on the martial arts stage and asked.
The huge square was dead silent. No one was willing to make a move.
An expert like the Insect Demon, who had even released the World Devouring Bug, was still not a match for Fang Chen.
In their minds, Fang Chen's shocking sword move was faintly reverberating.
It was too powerful. So far, it was the most dazzling sword move.
"I'll fight with you."
The one who spoke was Ting Fang of the Dark Wind Pavilion.
After coming to the martial arts stage, he cupped his fists at Fang Chen and said, "Although I know that I'm not as strong as Brother Tian Shu, after seeing Brother Tian Shu's exquisite sword technique, I can't help but feel the itch to spar with you."
"Sure."
Fang Chen nodded. If someone respected him, he would respect him tenfold.
Ting Fang did not have any ill intentions towards him. He just wanted to spar with him. Hence, he did not display the Chaotic Origin Sword.
Xiu!
The Sword of Heaven and Earth was displayed. A resplendent sword light fused with the world and rapidly transformed.
Ding ding ding!
Even though Ting Fang was prepared and displayed the killing move of the Dark Wind Pavilion, he was still defeated in the end.
His body continuously retreated before finally stabilizing at the edge of the martial arts stage.
"Brother Tian Shu's sword technique is unparalleled. This Ting admits defeat."
Finishing his words, Ting Fang leaped and returned to the Dark Wind Pavilion region.
Fu Jin of the Fu Clan had burning eyes. His entire body was brimming with battle intent, but he did not make a move.
'It's still not the time to fight with him.'
Fu Jin of the Fu Clan pondered. He would wait until the finals to battle with Tian Shu.
Fang Chen's strength was obvious to all. After Ting Fang's defeat, no one dared to challenge him.
In the end, after a discussion between the elders in charge of the Dao Discussion, Fang Chen directly advanced to the next round.
Even though the following matches were still very exciting, the shock Tian Shu left in everyone's heart could not be any greater.
Before night fell, the first round of the competition had ended.
Some cultivators might have lost one or two matches, but they won ten matches and successfully advanced to the next round.
In the end, a total of 31 people advanced.
From this point, one could see the cruelty of the competition.
The last person to go up the stage was a plain-clothed male. Fang Chen observed every match seriously.
Every time he defeated his opponent, it gave people the feeling that he won by luck.
However, Fang Chen knew very well that the plain-clothed male was also a strong opponent. He even felt that he was no weaker than Insect Demon.
On the other hand, Insect Demon was the strongest prodigy of the Lin Clan and the most popular candidate to win the championship.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a strong opponent in the first round and was seriously injured to the point of passing out.
As a result, he was directly eliminated. This also made the face of the Lin Clan's patriarch extremely gloomy.
He did not even wait for the competition to end before leaving Dragon City.
The main purpose of this Dao Discussion was to stop Tianshu Yuan.
But now, the strongest prodigy, Insect Demon, had been defeated. What was the point of staying?
…
As night fell, Fu Huan came to Fang Chen's courtyard with the help of Lord Mental Demon.
"Thank you, Brother Tianshu."
Fu Huan bowed slightly and thanked Fang Chen solemnly.
Fang Chen shook his head. "Even if it weren't for you, I would have fought Insect Demon sooner or later.
In any case, if it weren't for Brother Tianshu, I don't know when I would have gotten my revenge. "
Fu Huan was very grateful to Fang Chen.
"Brother Tianshu, with your strength, no one among the many disciples of the Dao Discussion is your opponent, right?"
Lord Mental Demon laughed. "Even the World Devouring Bug couldn't resist your attack. I really can't think of anyone who can."
Fu Jin of the Fu Family?
Obviously not. He was not as strong as Insect Demon, so how could he resist Tianshu?
Speaking of this, Fang Chen recalled the plain-clothed male who did not reveal his strength.
"There are hidden masters in this Dao Discussion."
Fang Chen said lightly.
"Hidden masters?
How strong can they be? "
Rip!
As soon as Lord Mental Demon's voice fell, his and Fu Huan's bodies were suddenly imprisoned and then wrapped in a gray mist.
Fang Chen's heart skipped a beat. As soon as he stood up, he saw two figures coming.
One of them was the Dragon Controller who took away the World Devouring Bug during the day.
The Dragon Controller was surrounded by a golden dragon, and his aura was shaking. The black-clothed man beside him was slightly strange.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen frowned and looked at the man warily.
"Tianshu, this is my master, the Hand of Despair," the Dragon Controller said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen exclaimed.
Since he came to Tianshu Yuan, he had been hearing the legend of the Hand of Despair.
He didn't expect to see him in person.
"Junior Tianshu greets Lord Hand of Despair," Fang Chen said respectfully.
He was the master of the Despair Continent. Even the master of the Lin Family and the mayor of Tianshu Yuan were no match for him.
"I watched the battle during the day. Your swordsmanship is exquisite, but I have never heard of such a special Sword Principle like yours in the world," the Hand of Despair said with a gentle smile.
"I sensed an invincible confidence in your Sword Dao. I've sensed this confidence from many peerless experts before," the Hand of Despair continued.
Fang Chen was shocked. He could feel the invincible confidence just by looking at him. This Hand of Despair was indeed worthy of his reputation.
"What is your Sword Principle?
Who did you inherit it from? "the Hand of Despair asked.
Fang Chen thought for a while and said, "Junior's swordsmanship was accidentally obtained in an ancient relic. As for what Sword Principle it is, I am not too sure."
Fang Chen lied.
His strength was amazing enough.
If the Hand of Despair knew that he had created the Invincible Sword Principle and the Chaotic Origin Sword, what would he do?
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the Hand of Despair fell into deep thought.
