He had not wanted to kill anyone, but the enemy had forced him to do so.
Yang Xiujian and Hun Jue's deaths were entirely their own fault.
If Hun Jue had not plotted against Fang Chen when he flew into the broken city, Fang Chen would not have killed him in a fit of anger.
After killing Yang Xiujian, Fang Chen put away the Hidden Star Sword and found a quiet place to sit down and rest.
In the long night, people would occasionally look at the place where Fang Chen was sitting. Their eyes were filled with respect.
Now, Fang Chen had become the king of this city.
When the second day arrived, countless martialists left the city in search of their own opportunities.
And in a corner of the city, a fat man with a big head and big ears was looking at Fang Chen with a smile.
Fang Chen opened his eyes and saw him.
"Brother Fang Chen," the fat man said with a smile as he dragged his bloated body towards Fang Chen.
"What's up?" Fang Chen asked.
"Brother Fang Chen, I saw you kill Hun Jue and Yang Xiujian last night. I'm afraid no one in the first level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm is your match," the fat man said.
"I have a piece of news that I want to share with Brother Fang Chen. What do you think about it, Brother Fang Chen?"
"What news?" Fang Chen asked with a frown.
"Brother Fang Chen, I found a strange place not far away. If we work together, we might be able to enter that strange place," the fat man said.
Fang Chen's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he looked at the fat man.
"Brother Fang Chen, don't misunderstand. I'm sharing this news with you because I don't have the confidence to enter that strange place. You are the strongest in this city, so I want to work with you," the fat man said.
Fang Chen nodded and said, "We can work together, but once we enter the strange place, it will depend on our own abilities."
"Alright," Fatty nodded.
Then, under the lead of the fat man, the two of them quickly left the dilapidated city and rushed towards the strange place.
A few hours later, Fang Chen and the fatty appeared at the foot of a mountain.
"It's here," said Fang Chen, looking at the mountain peak.
The fatty nodded and said, "That's right, it's here. That mountain peak doesn't seem simple."
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Fang Chen could clearly feel a majestic Sword Intent surging from the mountain peak. This Sword Intent gave him a sense of shock.
"This is …"
Fang Chen looked at the mountain peak and studied it carefully.
Finally, after looking around for a while, Fang Chen and the fatty prepared to enter the mountain.
When the two of them reached the mountainside, they suddenly heard the roar of a demonic beast. Then, a flamingo circled above their heads.
"It's a Demonic Beast!" Fang Chen shouted.
Ancient giant beasts usually came out at night. Those that came out during the day were Demonic Beasts.
The flamingo was covered in thick flames. It spread its wings and circled above Fang Chen's head. Its eyes stared at the two of them, as if warning them.
"This mountain peak is the flamingo's territory," said the fatty.
He felt a terrifying aura from the flamingo's body. This flamingo was at least a demonic beast at the peak of the First Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm.
Whoosh …
The flamingo suddenly opened its mouth and spat out flames. Then, in the sky, they turned into flamingos and swooped down towards Fang Chen and the fatty.
"Brother Fang Chen," the fatty shouted in horror.
Fang Chen suddenly activated his Fire Concept. Thick flames surrounded his body and he punched out.
Bang bang bang
Wherever the fist passed, the flamingo illusions were instantly shattered by Fang Chen.
Fang Chen was shocked to find that the flames spat out by the flamingo could be absorbed by his Fire Concept.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss
The Fire Concept quickly absorbed the flames spat out by the flamingo. In a short while, the flames were completely absorbed.
At this time, the flamingo finally realized the strength of this human ancient martial art practitioner. It shrieked and spread its wings. A firestorm instantly descended from the sky.
Phantom Sword Technique.
Fang Chen used the Phantom Sword Technique and the Hidden Star Sword pierced towards the flamingo.
Bang bang bang
The Hidden Star Sword collided with the firestorm and let out a deafening sound.
The flamingo was unable to kill Fang Chen, and Fang Chen was unable to defeat the flamingo. One man and one bird faced each other.
When the fatty saw this scene, he quickly rushed towards the peak of the mountain.
Fang Chen's Illusionary God Sword Technique was incomparably powerful. Coupled with the concept of fire, Fiery Bird's firestorm had no effect on Fang Chen at all.
Just as Fang Chen and the flamingo were facing each other, the flamingo in the sky suddenly shrieked. It spread its wings and flew towards the peak of the mountain.
A furious aura erupted from its body.
"Not good."
Fang Chen shouted inwardly as he charged towards the mountain peak.
At this time, the fatty was holding two bird eggs in his arms. His face was full of smiles as he prepared to take the eggs away.
The reason Fiery Bird had gone berserk was because of these two eggs.
"This damn fatty."
When Fang Chen saw this, he could not help but curse. You took away its bird eggs, how could it not be enraged?
"Brother Fang Chen, save me."
When the fatty realized that he was being targeted by the flamingo, he hurriedly threw away the two bird eggs in his arms. However, he was still attacked by the flamingo.
If not for his strong defense, he would have been roasted into meat by the flamingo.
Fang Chen waved the Hidden Star Sword and blocked the flamingo's attack.
When the flamingo saw this, it let out an angry roar. However, it still retreated and left the mountain with the two bird eggs.
The flamingo knew of Fang Chen's strength. It could not defeat Fang Chen and could only retreat.
"Damn fatty, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you." After the flamingo left, Fang Chen could not help but curse.
"Hehe, that was a mistake." The fatty laughed.
Fang Chen ignored the fatty and inspected the mountain peak.
After a round of inspection, Fang Chen discovered that at the edge of the mountain peak, there was a huge sword stabbed into the ground. The surroundings of the mountain peak were filled with extremely dense sword intent.
The reason why Fiery Bird had settled down here was because there was a faint fiery aura coming from the huge sword stuck in the ground.
"Could it be an ancient expert's training ground?"
Fang Chen inwardly guessed. The various signs here indicated that this mountain peak should be a training ground.
Sensing the dense sword intent in the surroundings, Fang Chen's sword aura was automatically released.
In Fang Chen's mind, the contents of the beginner scroll of Sword Dao Quintessence appeared. He sat down cross-legged and entered a state of enlightenment.
"Brother Fang Chen."
The fatty turned around and was about to speak to Fang Chen. However, when he saw that Fang Chen had entered a state of enlightenment, he was a bit speechless.
"No wonder he's so strong," the fatty muttered.
After that, the fatty began to search for treasures.
When he had first discovered this place, he had felt that it was incomparably strange. Other than the dense sword intent, there had to be something else.
It just so happened that while Fang Chen was in a state of enlightenment, he could go search for it.
As Fang Chen entered a state of enlightenment, his mind was filled with the contents of the beginner scroll of Sword Dao Quintessence.
Fang Chen had taken the first step of the Five Steps of Sword Dao.
In the first step, Fang Chen had accumulated a lot, and his sword aura had already reached perfection. Using the sword aura, Fang Chen could easily control the surrounding power of heaven and earth.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
The sword aura around Fang Chen's body was constantly rotating, and there seemed to be signs of a breakthrough.
At this time, Fang Chen also had a trace of enlightenment in his heart.
He was going to step into the second step of Sword Dao and cultivate sword intent again.
The first step of Sword Dao was sword aura, and the second step was sword intent.
Back then, before he had obtained the beginner scroll of Sword Dao Quintessence, Fang Chen had already cultivated sword intent to the third minor realm.
From this point, one could see Fang Chen's talent in Sword Dao.
When Fang Chen was about to cultivate sword intent again, the golden heart in his body began to beat rapidly, and waves of invisible aura flowed out from it.
The golden heart was incomparably mysterious. It had accompanied Fang Chen all the way and had played a crucial role.
Now, the golden heart was active again, and it seemed to be helping Fang Chen to step into the second step of Sword Dao.
Dong!
The golden heart beat faster and faster, and in the end, it could not be seen with the naked eye.
