Fang Chen felt the spiritual qi within his qi sea being crazily absorbed the moment he unleashed this move.
Hiss!
In the blink of an eye, all the spiritual qi within his qi sea had been completely absorbed by the Hidden Star Sword. After absorbing that spiritual qi, the Hidden Star Sword let out a powerful sword cry.
Puchi!
The power of the Heaven Startling Sword was too tyrannical. This was the culmination of that Sword Dao powerhouse's lifetime of hard work. Although Fang Chen was unable to unleash the true power of the Heaven Startling Sword with his current strength, it was enough to kill Pu Han.
Unleashing this move consumed an enormous amount of energy. It instantly emptied Fang Chen's qi sea. Sensing that his qi sea had been emptied, Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword stabbed at Pu Han.
"How is this possible?!"
At this moment, the originally incomparably furious Pu Han actually felt a trace of fear. Even his soul was trembling.
"No!"
In the next moment, Pu Han discovered that his body was unable to move. A wild aura had instantly locked onto him. He did his best to struggle free, but it was to no avail.
Seeing this sharp and tyrannical sword about to stab him, Pu Han's heart was filled with unprecedented fear.
No matter how hard Pu Han struggled, it was to no avail. The Hidden Star Sword in Fang Chen's hand pierced into Pu Han's body with a frightening might.
When the Hidden Star Sword stabbed into Pu Han's body, an extremely wild aura immediately passed through the Hidden Star Sword and into Pu Han's body. In the end, it gathered in Pu Han's head, destroying his soul.
"No!"
Pu Han let out an unwilling roar. However, he discovered that as this powerful energy corroded his body, his body was unable to move. His soul was rapidly crumbling.
Puchi!
When Fang Chen saw this, he pulled out the Hidden Star Sword. It was at this moment that Pu Han's body weakly fell to the ground, lifeless.
Crash!
After killing Pu Han, Fang Chen's body was also extremely weak. Unleashing this move had emptied all the spiritual qi within his qi sea.
At this moment, he no longer had any ability to fight.
"Let's leave this place first."
Fang Chen thought to himself. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he took Pu Han's interspatial ring and quickly left.
Just as Fang Chen left, a figure suddenly appeared. This figure also sensed the fluctuations of the battle and came over.
"En, Pu Han and Pu Yang."
When the person saw the two brothers' corpses, his expression changed. "Just who was it that killed Pu Han?"
This person carefully sized up Pu Han and discovered that the interspatial ring on his finger had disappeared. Instantly, he thought of something.
"Pu Han's Space Ring must have been obtained by someone." Jin Qiang thought for a moment before saying in a low voice.
Jin Qiang's strength could be considered as one of the top soul cultivators. Although he was only at the late stage of the 3rd Condensing Reality Realm, his strength was much stronger than Pu Han's.
"Looking at the traces of the battle, the warrior who killed Pu Han must not be very strong. He must not have gone far. This is an opportunity." Jin Qiang laughed sinisterly. Then, his figure flashed as he chased after Fang Chen.
At this moment, Fang Chen's speed was extremely fast. In a short while, he had left that place and appeared on a plain.
Then, Fang Chen walked across the plain and arrived at a mountain peak. He sat down cross-legged and prepared to recover his strength.
At this moment, Jin Qiang appeared on the plain he had just passed.
"His aura still lingers in the air. It seems that he must be nearby." Jin Qiang thought to himself.
Then, Jin Qiang continued forward. When he arrived at the foot of the mountain peak, he immediately saw Fang Chen on the mountain peak.
"En, Fang Chen." After seeing Fang Chen, a strange expression appeared on Jin Qiang's face. He immediately climbed up the mountain peak.
Crash!
Fang Chen was concentrating on recovering the spiritual qi in his qi sea when he suddenly sensed someone climbing up the mountain peak.
"En."
Fang Chen opened his eyes and saw Jin Qiang on the mountainside. His face was extremely solemn.
"Fang Chen!"
Jin Qiang shouted loudly when he saw Fang Chen.
However, before Fang Chen could do anything, a black figure covered in a black aura suddenly appeared from the mountainside and blocked Jin Qiang's path.
"Keke, it's been a long time since a human came here."
The black figure exuded a wild aura. He was a remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect. He had been hiding here for a long time. Because he was seriously injured, he had been recovering from his injuries.
When Fang Chen went up, he had not yet come out of seclusion and did not notice Fang Chen at all.
At this moment, he had just come out of seclusion and met Jin Qiang. He grinned sinisterly, as if he wanted to taste the fresh soul of a human warrior.
"En, remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect."
Seeing that he was blocked by the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect, Jin Qiang's face changed slightly. He immediately roared angrily, "Fang Chen, how dare you collude with the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect!"
As soon as Jin Qiang's voice fell, the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect suddenly launched a fierce battle with Jin Qiang.
Seeing such a great opportunity, Fang Chen naturally chose to escape at once.
After a while, Fang Chen disappeared from the mountain peak.
At this moment, the battle between the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect and Jin Qiang had reached its climax.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect punched Jin Qiang and sent him flying.
After stabilizing his body, Jin Qiang's face turned ugly. His communication jade pendant appeared in his hand.
"Fang Chen colluded with the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect."
After Jin Qiang sent the message, he crushed his communication jade pendant and disappeared from the mountain range.
The moment Jin Qiang sent the message, all the disciples in the mountain range received the same message through their communication jade pendants. Fang Chen colluded with the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect.
"How can this be? Fang Chen colluded with the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect? Is this true?"
"It should be true. After Jin Qiang sent the message, he crushed his communication jade pendant. He must have encountered a life and death crisis."
"Who would have thought that the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect would infiltrate our Barren Sect?"
"Kill Fang Chen!"
In an instant, countless disciples in the mountain range were shouting. Fang Chen had become a street rat that everyone wanted to beat up.
Of course, Fang Chen was aware of all this.
This was because his communication jade pendant had also received the message. At that time, he knew that things weren't going well. However, he couldn't stop Jin Qiang's message.
"Let's hide and recover our strength first." Fang Chen said to himself.
Fang Chen was also surprised that the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect was hiding in the mountain range. However, the most important thing now was to recover his strength.
In a secluded place in the mountain range, Fang Chen had been there for six hours. During these six hours, Fang Chen had been absorbing the spiritual energy within the Upper Grade Spiritual Stones.
In the beginning, the spiritual energy was extremely lacking. Later on, the spiritual energy was extremely thin. Now, the spiritual energy had already recovered.
Of course, in these six hours, Fang Chen had wasted a total of 300,000 Upper Grade Spiritual Stones.
"Continue."
Fang Chen checked his Qi Sea and said in a low voice.
In the following time, Fang Chen continued to absorb the spiritual energy within the Upper Grade Spiritual Stones. After about ten hours, Fang Chen finally stopped.
At this time, his body was surrounded by an extremely dense spiritual energy. Within his Qi Sea, the wild spiritual energy was constantly rolling.
"Adding the 300,000 Upper Grade Spiritual Stones from before, I have consumed a total of 800,000 Upper Grade Spiritual Stones this time."
Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh. Using the Heaven Shocking Sword once had consumed so much spiritual energy.
However, this couldn't be helped. If he didn't use the Heaven Shocking Sword, he wouldn't have been able to kill Pu Han.
After pondering for a while, Fang Chen stopped thinking about it. He took out Pu Han's Space Ring and opened it. He was surprised to find that there were 12 Spirit Pearls in Pu Han's Space Ring.
"Adding my 15 Spirit Pearls, there are a total of 27 Spirit Pearls." Fang Chen said to himself.
Even the top ten experts might not be able to possess 27 Spirit Pearls. After all, there were only 100 Spirit Pearls in the entire mountain range.
27 Spirit Pearls accounted for one-third of the total.
"Now, there must be a lot of disciples looking for me outside. I have to increase my strength as soon as possible. There are still a few days before the event ends." Fang Chen thought to himself.
In the outside world, on the Barren Sect's Spirit Flow Mountain, Jin Qiang's face was ugly. His heart was filled with anger.
"Jin Qiang, what exactly happened? Explain it clearly." Elder Mo asked with a grave expression.
"Elder Mo, I was originally chasing after Fang Chen. However, along the way, I encountered a remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect. This remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect did not attack Fang Chen. Instead, he helped Fang Chen stop me. From this point alone, it is enough to prove that Fang Chen is colluding with the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect." Jin Qiang said in a low voice.
"The remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect has infiltrated the Barren Sect." Elder Mo said in a low voice.
The other elders also shook their heads. At this moment, Xing Feng opened his mouth and said, "I'm afraid this alone is not enough to prove that Fang Chen is colluding with the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect."
Xing Feng was in the same group as Fang Chen. Now that someone was slandering Fang Chen, he naturally had to speak up for Fang Chen.
"Xing Feng, you are in the same group as Fang Chen. I even suspect that you are in cahoots with the remnant of the Yellow Spring Sect." Hearing this, Jin Qiang roared in anger.
"You, Jin Qiang! Don't go overboard!" Xing Feng shouted in anger.
"Hmph, trash like you is not qualified to speak to me." Jin Qiang said coldly.
In the square, the atmosphere was very heavy. At this moment, Elder Mo spoke, "No matter what, let's talk about it after the event ends."
