The inner disciples below the Life and Death Arena were shocked because they couldn't believe that Fang Chen could unleash such a tyrannical attack.
As for the Eighth and Ninth Elders, they were shocked because Fang Chen's finger technique actually contained a trace of intent.
Although it only contained a trace of intent, it was enough to shock the two old men.
"No, that trace of intent doesn't belong to him, so why did it appear in his technique?" The two elders were puzzled.
At this moment, on the Life and Death Arena, Fang Chen's finger suddenly pressed down on Shangguan Bu.
Rumble …
A majestic finger light, carrying a trace of intent, instantly collided with the Tiger Sword, exploding out with a crisp sound.
Kacha …
After the two collided, everyone thought that there would be an earth-shaking sound. However, they didn't expect that the finger light would directly defeat the Tiger Sword with a speed that exceeded everyone's expectations.
Puchi …
That finger light seemed to cut through glass. After destroying the Tiger Sword, it fiercely shot into Shangguan Bu's chest.
Bang …
Shangguan Bu's body heavily fell to the ground and instantly lost his life.
Crash …
The entire Life and Death Arena was in an uproar. Countless disciples were shocked by this scene and couldn't react for a while.
"Sigh …"
Only the Eighth Elder helplessly sighed when he saw his disciple die. Shangguan Bu's death wasn't unjust.
Although his Dragon-Tiger Sword Technique was incomparably tyrannical, the power of intent wasn't something he could withstand.
Fang Chen's Meteor Finger only contained a trace of intent, but it was already so tyrannical.
Crash …
Fang Chen suddenly opened his eyes and withdrew his finger. His eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.
"The power of intent is so tyrannical?" Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Unfortunately, the power of intent didn't belong to him. If he hadn't seen the intent on the wall, he wouldn't have been able to display such a powerful technique.
"Meteor Finger is really tyrannical." Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh.
There was a huge difference between substandard cultivation techniques and ordinary cultivation techniques.
After a while, the disciples below the Life and Death Ring recovered from their shock.
"Heavens! Fang Chen actually killed Shangguan Bu! Am I dreaming?!"
"Senior Brother Shangguan Bu couldn't defeat Fang Chen even after using the Dragon-Tiger Sword Art. When did Fang Chen become so powerful?"
"Fang Chen's battle prowess is enough to rank him among the top 50 inner disciples. That's terrifying."
"Yes, Fang Chen rose to prominence."
Many disciples were discussing in disbelief.
The Eighth Elder's figure flashed as he appeared in the Life and Death Arena. He glanced at Fang Chen and said, "In this Life-and-Death Battle, Shangguan Bu was defeated by Fang Chen and died in battle. This matter ends here."
After the Eighth Elder finished speaking, he took Shangguan Bu's corpse and left the Life and Death Ring.
After that, the Ninth Elder came to Fang Chen's side and nodded at Fang Chen with satisfaction.
"Fang Chen, your performance really surprised me." The Ninth Elder said with a smile.
"Don't worry. Although you killed Shangguan Bu, with me here, no one will dare to touch you." The Ninth Elder added.
After Fang Chen and the Ninth Elder left, the entire Life and Death Ring was bustling with noise and excitement. Countless martial artists were discussing this matter.
And from today onwards, Fang Chen had truly become an inner disciple. Although he was still a distance away from becoming a top inner disciple.
However, Fang Chen's outstanding performance had already attracted the attention of many inner disciples.
Even Bing Ling, who was in the top 10 of the inner disciples, was a little surprised when she heard the news. She didn't expect that the outer disciple, who couldn't even defeat Li Guanglong, would suddenly become one of the top 50 inner disciples.
"What a mysterious guy." Bing Ling's face didn't show any surprise, but she thought to herself.
After Fang Chen killed Shangguan Bu, the one who was most afraid was Ye Lin. In order to prevent Fang Chen from taking revenge, Ye Lin rushed through the night and directly left the Azure Edge Sword Sect to return to the Ye Clan.
In a courtyard in the inner sect, Fang Chen had just sent off many inner disciples who had come to visit him. Unexpectedly, another group of people came.
"Again?"
Fang Chen was a little speechless. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw the people who had come. His face revealed a trace of excitement.
"Manager Li, why are you here?" Fang Chen saw Manager Li and a few members of the Fang Family behind him.
"Young Master Fang, this time we are here under the orders of the Patriarch to bring you back." Manager Li said in a low voice.
Fang Chen frowned and immediately asked, "Did something happen in the family?"
"No." Manager Li said.
Hearing Manager Li's words, Fang Chen's anxious heart finally calmed down.
"Since the Patriarch wants me to return, then there must be something important. It just so happens that I don't have anything to do in the Azure Edge Sword Sect. Let's set off immediately." Fang Chen said.
It had been a long time since he had returned to the Fang Family. Fang Chen also planned to go back and take a look. At the same time, he also planned to settle the matter of his marriage.
Afterwards, Fang Chen informed his master, the Nine Elders, and then followed Manager Li back to the Fang Family.
The Fang Family was located in a city called Black Cloud City. There were two great families in Black Cloud City. The Fang Family was one of them, and the other was the Ye Family.
Back when the Fang Family was at its peak, the two family heads had decided to unite by marriage. In the end, Fang Chen and Ye Zi had been engaged when they were still in their mother's womb.
However, as Fang Chen grew up, the Ye Family gradually came to know that Fang Chen was trash, and Ye Zi was a genius.
Moreover, during this period of time, the Ye Family had been secretly recruiting, and their strength was gradually increasing.
On the contrary, because of the death of the Fang Family's Patriarch, the Fang Family's overall strength had decreased greatly, and gradually began to decline.
At this time, the Ye Family no longer relied on the Fang Family. They were dissatisfied with the Fang Family, and repeatedly tried to get rid of the Fang Family to take over Black Cloud City.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. After all, the Fang Family had some foundation, and it was not something that the Ye Family could destroy.
The Ye Family was very opposed to the marriage. They felt that Fang Chen was not worthy of the Ye Family's princess, Ye Zi.
In order to prevent the Ye Family from making a move on Fang Chen, the Fang Family directly sent Fang Chen to the Azure Edge Sword Sect.
Along the way, Fang Chen's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
Although the Fang Family was not related to him in any way, ever since he had taken over Fang Chen's body and resurrected, he had become part of the Fang Family.
Fang Chen integrated himself into this world. Moreover, from the depths of his heart, he had a deep affection for the Fang Family.
On the way back, Fang Chen didn't say anything.
Black Cloud City was very far from Clearwind City. After traveling for three days and three nights, Fang Chen's group finally arrived at Black Cloud City.
"Young master Fang, Black Cloud City is up ahead," said Steward Li.
"Let's go in."
Fang Chen's expression was absent-minded for a moment before he said in a low voice.
After they entered Black Cloud City, they saw a group of onlookers on the streets. They didn't know what was going on.
"Steward Li, what's going on up ahead?" asked Fang Chen.
"Young master Fang, let's go take a look," said Steward Li.
Soon after, they arrived at where the onlookers were.
In the crowd of onlookers, there were two men. One was wearing luxurious clothes, his face full of arrogance. The other was wearing plain clothes, his face full of anger.
"Ye Zhangge, you've gone too far. Black Cloud City isn't under your Ye Family's control," said the plain-clothed man angrily.
"Fang Sheng, you piece of trash. You're already eighteen, but you're only at the third level of Qi Refining. What a disgrace." The man called Ye Zhangge sneered.
"What does my strength have to do with you?" said Fang Sheng coldly.
Fang Sheng was a member of the Fang Family's younger generation, while Ye Zhangge was a member of the Ye Family's younger generation. In the past few years, the younger generation of the two families had often clashed.
Under normal circumstances, the upper echelons of the two families would pretend that nothing had happened and wouldn't interfere.
Today, Fang Sheng was shopping when he was suddenly stopped by Ye Zhangge and then humiliated. Fang Sheng was immediately enraged and attacked Ye Zhangge.
However, Ye Zhangge's strength had already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining. Among the younger generation of the Ye Family, he could be considered quite strong.
As for Fang Sheng, he obviously wasn't a match for Ye Zhangge. After exchanging a few blows, Fang Sheng naturally lost and was humiliated by Ye Zhangge.
The surrounding crowd was already used to this kind of thing.
"Ye Zhangge, you despicable person. Do you only dare to bully people who are weaker than you?" said Fang Sheng coldly.
Just at this moment, a voice suddenly stopped Fang Sheng's impulsive actions.
"Young master Fang Sheng," said Head Steward Li.
Seeing Head Steward Li, Fang Sheng didn't say anything else.
"Young master Fang Sheng, let's go back," said Head Steward Li in a low voice.
Behind Head Steward Li, Fang Chen looked at the discouraged Fang Sheng and sighed. Then, step by step, he walked in front of Fang Sheng.
"If you're not as strong as others, then work hard. One day, you'll defeat the person who once humiliated you."
When the discouraged Fang Sheng suddenly heard these words, he raised his head and saw a familiar face.
"Chen 'zi, you're back."
Seeing Fang Chen, Fang Sheng was naturally very happy. His face was filled with joy.
"Brother Sheng." Fang Chen gave Fang Sheng a bear hug.
Fang Sheng was Fang Chen's older cousin. He was also the son of Fang Chen's second uncle. He had a very good relationship with Fang Chen ever since they were children.
Fang Chen's uncle was the current head of the Fang family. As for Fang Chen's father, he was the third son of the Fang family.
"Chen 'zi, since you're back, let's go back." Fang Sheng smiled.
Just as Fang Chen and Fang Sheng were about to turn and leave, a sharp voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.
"Hmph, I was wondering who it was. So it's the Fang family's trash."
Hearing this, Fang Chen stopped in his tracks. His face was gloomy as he turned to look at Ye Zhangge.
"What? Did I say something wrong? A trash like you wants to marry our Ye family's princess Ye Zi? What a joke." Ye Zhangge continued to mock him.
