Although Xiahou Wu was ranked on the Martial Marquis list, he was only ranked fifty-third. How could he block an attack from the third-ranked Soaring Marquis?
BANG!
Xiahou Wu's body was sent flying. He crashed to the ground, vomiting blood. His face was pale, but his eyes were flickering. Killing intent erupted from his body.
"Xiahou, are you alright?"
When Jian Feng saw this scene, he quickly appeared beside Xiahou Wu and asked worriedly.
The Soaring Marquis waved his sleeve, causing the surrounding martial artists to suffer. He had originally been preparing to leave, but when he sensed Xiahou Wu's killing intent, his expression changed and he icily said, "Little ant, you dare release killing intent towards me? You're really courting death."
The Soaring Marquis had only just finished speaking when he prepared to attack Xiahou Wu. At this time, Tian Jianzi was also unable to sit still. His wrist flicked and a sword-light shot out, blocking the Soaring Marquis's attack.
"Soaring Marquis, you're ranked third on the Martial Marquis list. Bullying the weak isn't good," said Tian Jianzi unhappily.
"Hmph, I'll give Tian Jianzi face and let you off."
The Soaring Marquis didn't dare say anything. After all, although he was strong, he didn't dare look down on Tian Jianzi.
The Soaring Marquis coldly snorted and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the Sword Reverence Peak of Sword Continent City. This light contained an extremely majestic Sword Intent.
At this moment, Fang Chen, who was in the Sword Space, suddenly opened his eyes. After cultivating for three months, there was finally a transformation.
"So the Dao of the Sword is like this."
Fang Chen's eyes were filled with excitement. In the next instant, sword intent surged out of his body. A wild sword intent soared into the sky.
CRASH!
After Fang Chen had comprehended the true essence of the Dao of the Sword, his sword intent had suddenly exploded. Under Fang Chen's gaze, his sword intent had broken through the second minor realm, reaching the shocking third minor realm.
"Third realm sword intent."
Fang Chen was also incomparably excited. After cultivating for three months in the sword space, his sword intent had reached the third minor realm. This was a qualitative leap.
"Kid, your luck is really too good."
Just as Fang Chen was getting excited, Old Ancestor Bronze spoke. His words were filled with astonishment.
"That golden heart of yours is too strong. It forcefully transformed your Dao Body into a sword body," said Old Ancestor Bronze.
"Sword Body?" Fang Chen was puzzled. This was the first time he had heard the word "Sword Body".
"The Sword Body is a constitution that sword cultivators yearn for even in their dreams. The Dao Body is only slightly stronger than the average constitution, but the Sword Body is specially made for swords," Ancestor Bronze said.
Fang Chen looked behind him. He felt that his body was like a sharp sword. It was different from before.
With a shift of his mind, the sword will around him surged as if he could control the Spiritual Qi in the entire world.
"This is the Sword Body." Fang Chen held the Hidden Star Sword and used the eleventh level of the Water-Fire Sword Art. A majestic water-fire sword-light immediately appeared in the sky.
"This …"
Not long ago, Fang Chen had cultivated the Water-Fire Sword Art to the eleventh level. But although he had cultivated it to the eleventh level, its power hadn't been as great as it was now.
"The Sword Body is transmitting sword intent."
Fang Chen was shocked to find that his body was constantly transmitting sword intent into the Hidden Star Sword, causing the water-fire sword-light's power to explosively increase.
"Kid, now you know how terrifying the Sword Body is." Old Ancestor Bronze smiled.
Only those peerless geniuses who cultivated the Sword Dao could transform their bodies into a Sword Body.
Generally speaking, less than one in a million martial artists could transform their bodies into a Sword Body.
Even on the entire Ancient Sword Continent, the number of martial artists who possessed a Sword Body could be counted on one hand.
This time, the golden heart's transformation had brought great benefits to Fang Chen. It had allowed Fang Chen to possess a Sword Body.
With a Sword Body, Fang Chen was destined to shine in the Sword Dao.
"Kid, your heart is truly strange. Even I can't see through it. It's actually transforming your body. It's truly terrifying." Old Ancestor Bronze sighed as he thought of the golden heart.
Fang Chen was still immersed in the joy of having a Sword Body. At this moment, he felt as if he had merged with the entire sword space. It was incomparably comfortable.
His mind was filled with countless thoughts of the Sword Dao. It was as if he was a peerless sword.
"Sword Body, this is the Sword Body."
Fang Chen's eyes were blurred at first, but in the end, they shot out a terrifying sword-light.
After a long while, Fang Chen finally calmed the excitement in his heart.
"Kid, with a Sword Body, you are invincible within the Qi Hai realm," said Old Ancestor Bronze.
A martial artist who possessed a Sword Body could cultivate the Sword Dao much faster than an ordinary martial artist. On the entire Ancient Sword Continent, there were only a few people who possessed a Sword Body.
"What is the origin of the golden heart?"
Fang Chen could not figure it out. Since the golden heart could turn his body into a sword, it was obvious that it was a treasure among treasures.
"Invincible within the Qi Hai realm."
Fang Chen was extremely excited. Three months ago, his strength was not enough to enter the top 30 of the Martial Marquis List. But three months later, he possessed a Sword Body. At this moment, he was invincible within the Qi Hai realm.
Of course, this was all because of the golden heart.
Since his cultivation had reached a bottleneck, Fang Chen naturally would not stay in the Sword Space.
Hua La
Just as Fang Chen was about to leave, the majestic Sword Intent within the Sword Space was completely absorbed by Fang Chen's Sword Body.
In the next moment, the Sword Intent within the Sword Space disappeared. It was like an ordinary independent space.
Fang Chen was once again shocked. The Sword Body was too strong. It could actually absorb such a large amount of Sword Intent in an instant.
What Fang Chen did not know was that as the Heaven Sword Son, he had already created history in the Sword Reverence Sect.
In the history of the Sword Reverence Sect, there had never been a Heaven Sword Son who was able to completely absorb the Sword Intent within the Sword Space. He was the first.
Of course, Fang Chen was also the first person to comprehend the third minor realm of Sword Intent within the Sword Space.
Being able to comprehend the third level of Sword Concept at the Qi Hai realm was enough to show that Fang Chen had a monstrous talent in the Sword Dao.
With the third level of Sword Concept and the Sword Body, Fang Chen was already ahead of the majority of Sword Dao cultivators. The current Fang Chen's comprehension of the Sword Dao was probably not even comparable to the Heaven Sword Son.
Hua La
Fang Chen left the Sword Space and appeared within the Sword Reverence Sect.
"Senior Brother Fang." A disciple passed by the square and saw Fang Chen. He respectfully greeted him.
Fang Chen nodded his head and asked, "Is the Sect Master here?"
"Senior Brother Fang, a month ago, the Sect Master and the others went to the Imperial Capital to participate in the Martial Marquis List Battle. They have yet to return." The disciple said.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's eyes lit up and he immediately left the Sword Reverence Sect.
This time, Fang Chen did not walk alone. Instead, he took the transportation array and headed towards the Imperial Capital.
After paying the required amount of spirit stones, Fang Chen entered the teleportation array. In the next instant, he appeared in the Imperial City.
Just as he appeared within the Imperial Capital, he felt two powerful auras.
"Outside the Imperial Capital, what a powerful aura." Fang Chen faintly said. He then left the Imperial Capital and arrived at the plains.
Arriving here, Fang Chen happened to see the battle between the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the Black Armor Marquis. The battle between the two was extremely intense.
"A battle between the top Martial Marquis List Battle." Fang Chen faintly said.
Just as Fang Chen was watching the battle, he suddenly saw Jian Feng and Xiahou Wu from the corner of his eyes, especially the bloodstains on Xiahou Wu's body.
He quickly passed through the crowd and arrived beside Xiahou Wu and Jian Feng. "What's going on?"
Hearing someone speak, Jian Feng and Xiahou Wu turned to look. Their faces were filled with pleasant surprise.
"Fang Chen, you've come out of seclusion." Jian Feng was incomparably excited to see Fang Chen.
Xiahou Wu also grinned and nodded towards Fang Chen.
"Who injured you?" asked Fang Chen.
Xiahou Wu recounted to Fang Chen how he had been injured. Then, Fang Chen's gaze turned towards a certain region on the plains. This region was the region where the experts of the Martial Marquis List were located. At the very front, there was the arrogant Soaring Marquis.
"Soaring Dragon Marquis."
Fang Chen muttered softly as a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.
"Junior apprentice-brother Fang Chen, it's a pity you came too late. Otherwise you would definitely have entered the Martial Marquis List." Jian Feng felt it was a pity.
"Yeah, Fang Chen, me and senior apprentice-brother Jian Feng have also entered the Martial Marquis List. If you were to participate, you would at least be able to enter the top thirty," said Xiahou Wu.
Fang Chen nodded and didn't say anything. His gaze shifted from the Soaring Dragon Marquis to the martial stage.
At this time, the Soaring Dragon Marquis and the Black Armor Marquis were in the midst of an intense battle. Originally, everyone had thought that the Soaring Dragon Marquis would easily defeat the Black Armor Marquis. But only after the battle had begun did they realize that the Black Armor Marquis had been hiding his strength.
"The Black Armor Marquis' defense is very strong, while the Soaring Dragon Marquis' offense is very strong. When the two of them collide, there will definitely be one side that will not be able to endure." Fang Chen thought to himself.
With Fang Chen's current eyesight, he could see where the two were lacking with a glance. He then slightly shook his head and said, "In less than three moves, the Black Armor Marquis will definitely lose."
On the martial stage, the Black Armor Marquis' body was surrounded by a layer of black light. This caused his defense to reach its peak.
"Soaring Dragon Marquis, you can't break my defense." The Black Armor Marquis sinisterly laughed.
"Is that so?"
After fighting for so long, the Soaring Dragon Marquis finally discovered the mysteries of the Black Armor Marquis' defense. Hearing the Black Armor Marquis' words, the Soaring Dragon Marquis faintly smiled.
In the next moment, a scarlet light appeared on the Soaring Dragon Marquis' palm. When this light appeared, the entire plain became silent.
On the platform, many Condensing Reality experts, including the king, also had faces of shock.
"This Soaring Dragon Marquis has been hiding his strength all this time." Many Condensing Reality experts involuntarily cried out.
The strength that the Soaring Dragon Marquis was currently exploding with was countless times stronger than before. Moreover, the aura around the Soaring Dragon Marquis was still rising.
Crack!
