After a while, Fang Chen understood that the carvings on the hilt changed positions according to the owner's palm. They would only stop when the owner's palm was at its most comfortable position.
"It must have been made by a master craftsman." Fang Chen could not help but sigh.
After the carvings stabilized, Fang Chen realized that he felt extremely comfortable just by holding the hilt.
Holding the small knife, Fang Chen felt that this small knife was very magical. His soul circled around the small knife and he felt an incomparable danger.
"According to the auctioneer, this small knife can devour souls. It can also easily devour the souls of late-Orange-level souls," Fang Chen said in a low voice.
With this small knife, the power of Fang Chen's soul attack became even more tyrannical.
Only a soul cultivator could truly unleash the power of the small knife. Fang Chen held the small knife and a smile appeared on his face.
Fang Chen had gained a lot from this auction. The Thunderbolt Talisman was one, the small knife was another, and the mid-level puppet was another.
The current Fang Chen would not be afraid even if he faced a martial artist at the first level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm.
In the dark night, a crescent moon hung in the sky.
On the empty street, a black shadow suddenly appeared. As soon as this black shadow appeared, it headed straight for the Li Clan's residence.
After a while, the black shadow silently entered the Li Family Mansion and headed for the courtyard where Fang Chen was.
"It's here."
The black shadow glanced at the courtyard where Fang Chen was and sneaked in.
This person was an elder of the Yang Family. His cultivation was at the first level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm. His mission this time was to kill Fang Chen and then retreat unscathed.
Although Hun Yu really wanted to kill Fang Chen, this was Kaiyang City. The Ancient Soul Sect was not here, so it was inconvenient for him to move.
After the Yang Family elder entered the pavilion, he quietly looked for Fang Chen.
Fang Chen, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He scanned his surroundings and was on high alert.
"Sure enough, they came."
Fang Chen sneered. He knew that Hun Yu wouldn't let the matter rest and would definitely try to assassinate him. Therefore, he had set up a small array formation before going to bed.
As long as a martial artist sneaked in, they would definitely trigger the array and he would be able to wake up.
"Come out."
Fang Chen said in a low voice as he looked into the darkness.
As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, the Yang Family Elder came out.
"To think that you would actually discover me." The Yang Family Elder sneered.
Fang Chen noticed him, but he didn't run away. How stupid of him. Did he really think that he could defeat him with his Condensing Reality Realm cultivation?
"You want to kill me? You don't have the ability." Fang Chen looked at the Yang Family Elder and sneered.
He didn't know that the person in front of him was an elder of the Yang family and thought that he was from the Ancient Soul Sect.
"Fang Chen, I know that you have the Thunderbolt Charm and the Intermediate Puppet, but I won't give you a chance." The Yang Family Elder said coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly launched a fierce attack towards Fang Chen.
"I don't need to use the puppet or the Thunderbolt Charm to deal with you."
Fang Chen growled. He held the Hidden Star Sword in his hand and displayed the ninth level of the Phantom Sword Technique.
The complete Phantom Sword Technique was very powerful. It was comparable to a top Rank 5 cultivation technique. Combined with Fang Chen's Phantom Sword Principle, its power was more than doubled.
When Fang Chen displayed the Phantom Sword Technique, a strong sword aura appeared around him. The sword aura merged with the Hidden Star Sword and he slashed out.
Bang!
The Hidden Star Sword slammed into the Yang Family Elder's body and blocked the attack. However, Fang Chen's body also retreated a lot because of it.
"Hmph, insignificant skill."
The Yang Family Elder growled and once again displayed a fierce attack. He wouldn't give Fang Chen a chance to use the Intermediate Puppet and the Thunderbolt Charm.
Seeing that the Yang Family Elder's attack was about to reach him, Fang Chen displayed the Phantom Sword Technique again and blocked the Yang Family Elder's attack.
However, when his Hidden Star Sword blocked the Yang Family Elder's attack, his eyes revealed a trace of a strange smile.
In the next moment, a small knife appeared in Fang Chen's other hand. Under the control of Fang Chen, this small knife directly streaked across the void and appeared in front of the Yang Family Elder's head.
Puchi
The small knife pierced the Yang Family Elder's head, causing the Yang Family Elder to let out a miserable scream.
Bang
The Yang Family Elder's body was directly sent flying.
At this moment, his soul was trembling and his whole body was in pain.
"Ah!"
The Yang Family Elder held his head and cried out miserably. This sound alarmed the upper echelons of the Li Family. The Yang Family Elder knew that he didn't have a chance to kill Fang Chen. His figure flashed and directly disappeared into the darkness.
Fang Chen didn't chase after the Yang Family Elder. He glanced at the small knife and shook his head.
"It seems that my strength is still a little low," Fang Chen said to himself.
The small knife could shatter the soul of a late-Orange-grade soul. The soul of the Yang Family Elder just now was obviously only at the late-Orange-grade. Although the small knife hit the other party's soul, it didn't cause much of an impact on him. In the end, it was because Fang Chen's cultivation was too low.
If Fang Chen had condensed the ninth stream of True Qi, he would have killed the Yang Family Elder just now.
"Work hard to raise my cultivation," Fang Chen said to himself.
At this moment, the Li Family Elder and the others hurried over and asked Fang Chen. The latter said that it was fine. Finally, the Li Family Elder and the others left.
However, after this incident, the Li Family Residence's security was obviously much tighter.
In the meeting hall of the Yang Family Residence.
The dispirited Yang Family Elder returned. The Yang Family Elder welcomed him personally.
"Did you succeed?" the Yang Family Elder asked.
"That kid is very strong. My soul was almost shattered by the small knife he obtained from the auction," the Yang Family Elder said weakly.
When the Yang Family Elder heard this, his eyes flickered as he looked at Hun Yu.
"Damn that guy." Hun Yu was furious. If he had obtained the small knife, his strength would definitely have increased greatly.
However, the small knife was now in Fang Chen's hands. A first-level Spirit Vortex Realm warrior had failed to assassinate him and was on the verge of death.
"Yang Family Elder, you have seen Fang Chen's potential. If we don't kill him, he will definitely be a big problem in the future," Hun Yu said.
"Young Master Hun Yu, do you have any ideas?" the Yang Family Elder asked.
A strange smile appeared on Hun Yu's face. Then, he approached the Yang family's patriarch and whispered a few words into his ear.
The Yang Family Patriarch smiled when he heard Hun Yu's plan.
"Let's do it. I will do it tomorrow," the Yang Family Elder said with a laugh.
Hun Yu nodded. His eyes were filled with killing intent.
A hundred miles outside Mizar City, four uninvited guests had arrived at a mountain range. The four of them were surrounded by a pitch-black aura.
As the four of them stood there, the surrounding air was about to condense.
"Big Brother, do you sense Old Fifth's aura?" one of them asked in a low voice.
"Although Old Fifth has been killed, his aura is still here. Let's go in." The man called Big Brother took the lead and entered the mountain range.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the mine.
"Old Fifth is under the mine," the Big Brother said gloomily.
"Should we kill all these people?" the Second Brother asked.
"These ants. Old Fifth's death must have something to do with them. Killing all of them won't be a pity," the Third Brother said angrily.
The Fourth Brother also wanted to make a move, but he was stopped by the Big Brother.
"Let's take a look at where Old Fifth died first," the Big Brother said.
The four of them quietly entered the underground of the mine and arrived at the dark place.
"The corpses of the Ninth and Tenth Protectors. They must have come to awaken Old Fifth," the Fourth Brother exclaimed.
"Old Fifth's corpse is here," the sharp-eyed Third Brother said when he saw the Super Protector's corpse.
The four of them arrived before Old Fifth's corpse and fell silent.
Among the thirty-six Protectors of Yellow Spring Sect, the other Protectors were weaker than them. The five of them were the Super Protectors.
The five of them were as close as brothers.
In their opinion, the other Protectors couldn't compare to them. After Yellow Spring Sect was destroyed, the Five Super Protectors had split up.
It hadn't been easy for the four Super Protectors to reunite. They were prepared to go find Old Fifth, but at that moment, they received bad news. Old Fifth was dead.
"How dare you kill Old Fifth! I don't care who you are. I don't care where you flee to, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
