A furious roar suddenly rang out. In the next instant, the entire stage was filled with a wild aura.
Fang Chen felt like he was about to suffocate. But at this critical moment, the Clear Wind Sect's sect master made a move.
"Sect master Flowing Wind, are you going to interfere in the competition between the younger generation?" asked the sect master coldly.
Fang Chen's potential was obvious to all. The Qingfeng Sword Sect definitely wouldn't let the Flowing Wind Sect's sect master make a move on Fang Chen.
"Hmph, I already said stop. This kid is actually so vicious." The Flowing Wind Sect's sect master coldly said as he supported the weak Ye Zi.
At this moment, Ye Zi no longer looked like a girl favored by the heavens. Her right arm had been pierced by the Diffraction Sword Art, and blood was constantly flowing out.
As one of the Flowing Wind Dual Absolutes, Ye Zi's talent and potential were both top-notch. The Flowing Wind Sect's sect master had raised her as his future successor. He originally thought that he would be able to easily obtain control of a portion of the mine. But who would have thought that such a change would occur?
"Sect master Flowing Wind, Fang Chen didn't break the rules. Furthermore, he was fighting one against two. There was no way he could stop," said the Flowing Wind Sect's sect master coldly.
"That's right. If he wants to touch Fang Chen, he'll be going against the entire Qingfeng Sword Sect." The First Elder and the others also expressed their stance.
Hearing the words of the Qingfeng Sword Sect's upper echelon, the Flowing Wind Sect's sect master's expression darkened. He coldly snorted and prepared to leave with Ye Zi and the others.
"Drifting Wind Sect Master, I hope you can keep your promise," Drifting Wind Sect Master said.
The Flowing Wind Sect's sect master almost vomited blood. This time, he had really suffered a double loss.
"Hmph, Sect master Flowing Wind, I'll remember this grudge."
After saying that, the Flowing Wind Sect's sect master's figure flashed and left.
After the Flowing Wind Sect's people left, the disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect began to cheer. From today onwards, Fang Chen was the strongest person among the younger generation of the Azure Cloud County.
With his own strength, he had defeated Pang Jin and Ye Zi, two top experts of the younger generation. This strength, even in the entire Azure Cloud County's younger generation, was unrivaled.
"Fang Chen, well done." Sect Master Qing Feng looked at Fang Chen and nodded in satisfaction.
The other elders also greeted Fang Chen. Right now, Fang Chen had become the benchmark of the entire Azure Edge Sword Sect.
"Fang Chen really did it. He defeated the Dual Masters of Flowing Wind by himself. He's really amazing."
"That's right. Even Xie Tiannan back then couldn't compare to him."
"Another Xie Tian Nan. No, it should be an existence that has completely surpassed Xie Tian Nan. His strength is too tyrannical."
"In less than a year, Fang Chen will definitely reach the Qi Transformation Realm." Many disciples of the Azure Edge Sword Sect were discussing Fang Chen.
Unknowingly, ten days had passed since Fang Chen defeated Pang Jin and Ye Zi. During these ten days, Fang Chen's courtyard was frequently visited by inner disciples.
Fang Chen was very helpless. Most of the time, he was cultivating, and threw all the matters to his best friends, Jiang He and Xiao Shan.
And in these ten days, the Azure Edge Sword Sect's harvest was not small. Previously, they had already gained control of half of the mine.
Ten days ago, with Fang Chen's strength, the Azure Edge Sword Sect gained control of a portion of the mine. Now, the Azure Edge Sword Sect had control of over seventy percent of the mine. This was a huge amount of wealth.
On a certain day, the Nine Elders sent a thousand Yuan Meteor Stones to Fang Chen.
One had to know that a Yuan Meteor Stone was already extremely expensive outside. A thousand Yuan Meteor Stones was enough for Fang Chen to use.
When Fang Chen saw the Yuan Meteor Stones, he was very happy. Currently, the golden heart could only absorb Yuan Meteor Stones. Moreover, it was still evolving. Naturally, he would want more Yuan Meteor Stones.
After receiving the Yuan Meteor Stones, Fang Chen allowed the golden heart to absorb more Yuan Meteor Stones. After absorbing a total of a hundred Yuan Meteor Stones, the golden heart finally reached saturation.
At this time, Fang Chen realized that the silver luster in the golden heart had already occupied a quarter of the golden heart.
"The golden heart seems to have become stronger."
Fang Chen could clearly sense that the golden heart was giving off an indistinct aura of vicissitudes. It was slowly changing his comprehension of the Way of the Sword.
"Let's try the Mercury Sword."
Fang Chen grinned and immediately began to cultivate the Mercury Sword.
Not long after, Fang Chen had successfully mastered the fourth sword of the Quicksilver Sword Technique. This scene made Fang Chen pleasantly surprised.
"After the golden heart evolved, the speed of sword cultivation has become much faster. If the silver luster covers the golden heart, I wonder what will happen." Fang Chen said softly.
Now, Fang Chen had become the strongest person in the younger generation of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Even in the entire Cyan Cloud County, there was no one in the younger generation who could match up to Fang Chen.
Although the Cyan Cloud County was only a small place, its population was still very large. In a short period of time, Fang Chen's name had spread throughout the Cyan Cloud County.
One day, the Fang Clan of Black Cloud City sent news that the Ye Clan had been completely suppressed by the Fang Clan. For the time being, there was no way for the Ye Clan to rise again.
Moreover, the Ye Clan sent news that the Ye Clan's daughter, Ye Zi, had returned to Black Cloud City.
However, it was said that Ye Zi's cultivation had been crippled and she could no longer cultivate.
The Ye Clan brought Ye Zi personally to the Fang Clan to apologize. They wanted to obtain the Fang Clan's forgiveness and even wanted to marry Ye Zi to Fang Chen.
However, this matter was directly rejected by Fang Tianyu.
After hearing this news, Fang Chen's face revealed a trace of a smile.
Once upon a time, the Ye Clan was so arrogant. Back then, when everyone thought that he was trash, the Ye Clan proposed to break off the engagement.
Even Ye Zi had never looked Fang Chen in the eye. Fang Chen remembered her cold face very clearly.
Fang Chen had once said, "One day, I will make you unworthy of me."
Now, Fang Chen had done it. He had become the strongest person in the younger generation of the Cyan Cloud County. Ye Zi, on the other hand, had fallen to the point that her cultivation had been crippled.
After thinking for a moment, Fang Chen stopped thinking about it.
Fang Chen's cultivation had reached a bottleneck. He stopped cultivating and prepared to go out for a walk.
However, at this moment, an inner disciple ran over, panting. He told Fang Chen that a terrifying young warrior had come to the Qingfeng Sword Sect and had threatened to challenge Fang Chen.
"What challenge?" Fang Chen was a little puzzled and asked.
"Senior Fang Chen. That disciple is very strong. Even Senior Du Zhong is no match for him," the disciple said.
Fang Chen nodded and quickly rushed to the square.
When Fang Chen appeared on the square, he saw that the square was full of warriors from the Qingfeng Sword Sect, with Du Zhong as the leader.
"Du Zhong, you have already lost to me. Ask Fang Chen to come out," a man in black said with a cold face.
"Zhuge Tianzhao, Junior Fang Chen is cultivating," Du Zhong said faintly.
"I heard that Fang Chen is the strongest person in the younger generation of the Cyan Cloud County. I don't agree, unless he defeats me," Zhuge Tianzhao said coldly.
Zhuge Tianzhao was a loner. He had been wandering since he was young. However, after a fortuitous encounter, his strength had become very strong.
As early as last year, he was already able to challenge Du Zhong.
While everyone was shocked by Fang Chen's strength, they had already forgotten that there was still Zhuge Tianzhao in the Cyan Cloud County.
At this time, Zhuge Tianzhao had also heard that Fang Chen was strong, so he had specially come to challenge Fang Chen.
"Senior Du Zhong."
Fang Chen called out. Seeing Fang Chen appear, Du Zhong's face was full of smiles.
"Junior Fang Chen, you've come," smiled Du Zhong.
Fang Chen's arrival caused the square to be filled with laughter. All the disciples were waiting for the battle between Fang Chen and Zhuge Tianzhao.
"You're Fang Chen?" Zhuge Tianzhao's pitch-black eyes looked at Fang Chen.
"Correct, I am. You are," said Fang Chen.
"I'm Zhuge Tianzhao. You seem pretty good, but I don't know how strong you are." Zhuge Tianzhao grinned.
"You'll know once you try," said Fang Chen.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Zhuge Tianzhao laughed heartily and nodded with satisfaction. "I like your character."
As soon as Zhuge Tianzhao finished speaking, a tyrannical aura suddenly erupted.
Crash!
The wild aura instantly swept through the square. Everyone's expressions changed. Zhuge Tianzhao's aura had clearly reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"Fang Chen, as long as you can defeat me, you'll be the strongest person in the Cyan Cloud County's younger generation," said Zhuge Tianzhao.
"Ninth level of Qi Refining?"
Fang Chen narrowed his eyes as he felt the pressure coming from Zhuge Tianzhao.
Ten days ago, Fang Chen's strength was already enough to fight two eighth level Qi Refining geniuses. In these ten days, Fang Chen's Mercury Sword had reached the fourth sword, and his golden heart had evolved once more. His strength had increased by leaps and bounds.
Seeing Zhuge Tianzhao's attack, Fang Chen's battle intent was overflowing.
"Just in time for me to test my strength."
Fang Chen growled as the Spiritual Light Sword suddenly appeared in his hand. In the next moment, he displayed the fourth sword of the Mercury Sword.
"Good sword technique."
Seeing the ripples of water in the sky, Zhuge Tianzhao could not help but praise.
Crash!
Under Fang Chen's control, the ripples of water condensed into a sword light. This sword light seemed to be condensed from water.
With a tyrannical force, the Spiritual Light Sword pierced towards Zhuge Tianzhao.
Crash!
Zhuge Tianzhao's fist heavily hit the sword light. With a crack, the sword light shattered and Zhuge Tianzhao's body rapidly retreated.
When Zhuge Tianzhao steadied himself, everyone thought that he would attack again.
But what happened next surprised all the disciples.
"I lost." Zhuge Tianzhao's face was full of bitterness.
Even Fang Chen was a little confused. How could Zhuge Tianzhao admit defeat so easily?
"Fang Chen, your potential is the strongest I've ever seen," said Zhuge Tianzhao in a deep voice.
Zhuge Tianzhao was in the ninth level of Qi Refining Realm, but he was only able to fight to a draw with Fang Chen. If they were in the same level, he would definitely be no match for Fang Chen.
