Fang Chen's words were like a sledgehammer, pounding on Chu Xiao's heart.
The mocking smile on Chu Xiao's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.
"You said I was not qualified to talk to you?" Chu Xiao asked coldly.
"The weak will never have the initiative."
Fang Chen repeated what Chu Xiao had just said. However, it sounded very harsh to everyone's ears.
Hearing this, Chu Xiao's face turned ferocious, and he was furious.
"Fang Chen, you said I was weak? Hahaha, very well. Let me see how strong you are," Chu Xiao roared angrily.
Many of the newcomers looked at the two of them. They did not know where Fang Chen's confidence came from.
Chu Xiao's cultivation had reached the First Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm, and his combat power was shockingly strong. No matter how talented Fang Chen was, he was only an Eighth Realm warrior. How dare he challenge Chu Xiao?
"Does he have a trump card?" This was what many people were thinking.
Yuwen Batian, who was sitting on the stone bench, did not speak from beginning to end. He stared at Fang Chen, as if he wanted to see through Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, you are so stupid."
After saying this, a long sword appeared in Chu Xiao's hand. His body's strength surged, and a wild aura emerged from his body.
"Startling Sword Technique."
Suddenly, Chu Xiao roared and displayed the Startling Sword Technique. The long sword in Chu Xiao's hand suddenly shot out a Startling Sword Light.
In the next moment, the Startling Sword Light carried a majestic aura and quickly attacked Fang Chen.
"Quicksilver Sword Technique."
Seeing that Chu Xiao had made his move, Fang Chen quickly performed the Mercury Sword Technique. After the Mercury Sword Technique had reached the Great Perfection Realm, its power had increased by a lot. Although it was only a Tier 1 cultivation technique, its power was definitely comparable to a Peak Tier 1 cultivation technique.
Crash!
In the sky, Ripple of Water appeared. In the next moment, the Ripple of Water turned into a Quicksilver Sword Light and collided with the Startling Sword Light.
Crack
The Fleeting Sword Light clashed with the Quicksilver Sword Light, producing a cracking sound. Following which, the two Sword Lights shattered.
Chu Xiao could not help but take a few steps back. His face darkened as he stared at Fang Chen. "Fang Chen, I have underestimated you. But even if your battle prowess has reached the First Tier of the Qi Transformation Realm, it will not help."
Swoosh
As soon as Chu Xiao finished speaking, the longsword in his hand once again displayed the Fleeting Sword Technique.
The Fleeting Sword Technique was a Peak Grade 1 Cultivation Technique. Chu Xiao had already cultivated it to the Perfection Stage. Earlier, he was merely testing the waters.
The Grand Perfection Stage of the Startling Sword Art was comparable to a second-grade cultivation technique.
"What? Chu Xiao's Startling Sword Art has actually reached the Perfection Stage? How terrifying."
"Fang Chen is no match for the Jinghong Sword Art at the Perfection Stage."
"Fang Chen is asking for trouble. It's too difficult to fight against Chu Xiao."
Many disciples on the mountain peak believed that Chu Xiao would definitely be able to defeat Fang Chen after discovering that the Startling Sword Technique had reached the Perfection Stage.
However, the truth was beyond their imagination.
Because at this moment, Fang Chen suddenly understood with the help of the golden heart.
The Quicksilver Sword Technique had reached the Intricate Realm.
Crash!
The might of the Mercury Sword Art, which had reached the Arcane Realm, was more than twice as powerful as when it was at the Perfection Stage.
At this moment, the Quicksilver Sword Technique was no weaker than Chu Xiao's Startling Sword Technique.
In the sky, the five water ripples quickly turned into five mercury sword-lights. Finally, the five mercury sword-lights fused together.
"The Intricate Realm?"
Fang Chen's face revealed a faint smile. After the Single Breath Sword had reached the Intricate Realm, Fang Chen had been trying to bring the Quicksilver Sword Technique to the Intricate Realm.
Now, the Quicksilver Sword Technique had finally reached the Intricate Realm. Of course, this was all thanks to Chu Xiao's Startling Sword Technique.
Hiss! Hiss!
The Mercury Sword Technique at the Intricate Realm was too powerful. A Quicksilver Sword Light that carried a strong Sword Qi directly pierced the Startling Sword Light.
Crack!
Without any pause, the Quicksilver Sword Light pierced through the Startling Sword Light and attacked Chu Xiao.
"How is this possible?"
Chu Xiao saw this scene and cried out involuntarily. His Startling Sword Technique had reached the Perfection Stage and its power was comparable to a Rank 2 Cultivation Technique. Unexpectedly, it could not withstand Fang Chen's attack.
Although Chu Xiao was shocked, he still chose to use all his strength to resist. He frantically activated the Startling Sword Technique in an attempt to resist Fang Chen's attack.
Unfortunately, Fang Chen was like a God of War at this moment. He was incomparably powerful.
Bang!
The Startling Sword Light in front of Chu Xiao suddenly shattered. His body was exposed in front of the Quicksilver Sword Light. Chu Xiao's expression changed greatly. His body flashed, wanting to dodge.
"No!"
Although Chu Xiao had dodged a little, he still did not completely dodge.
Puchi!
The Quicksilver Sword Light pierced one of Chu Xiao's arms. Immediately, his arm exploded and blood splattered everywhere.
"Ah!"
A cry of agony instantly echoed throughout the mountain.
"Enough!"
Seeing Chu Xiao's miserable appearance, the silent Yuwen Batian finally opened his mouth.
Hearing Yuwen Batian's voice, many disciples turned to look at Fang Chen. At this time, Fang Chen was holding his Spirit Light Sword and coldly looking at Yuwen Batian.
"Fang Chen, don't you think this is very cruel? We are all newcomers. We should take care of each other. Not only do you not put the other newcomers in your eyes, you actually want to kill a newcomer," said Yuwen Batian.
Hearing Yuwen Batian's words, many of the newcomers began to denounce Fang Chen.
"Fang Chen, you've gone too far! How can you be so cruel!"
"That's right. Crippling one of Chu Xiao's arms is equivalent to crippling his cultivation base. Even if he can rely on medicinal pills to regrow his arms in the future, his strength will be greatly reduced."
"Hmph, cutting off someone's path of retreat is the most shameful thing. We disdain to associate ourselves with you."
"Fang Chen, you arrogant fellow! If you have the ability, go challenge the seniors!"
Many disciples began to angrily curse. They wanted to stand up for Chu Xiao.
Fang Chen coldly looked at this scene and sneered, "If the one lying on the ground right now was me, would you stand up for me?"
"But the one whose arm is crippled is Chu Xiao," said Yuwen Batian.
Yuwen Batian was the king of newcomers. He naturally had to stand up for the newcomers. Otherwise, who would listen to him in the future?
"How laughable. Only others are allowed to attack me, but I'm not allowed to attack others. What kind of bandit logic is this?" retorted Fang Chen.
"No matter what, you've gone too far. I'll teach you a lesson in Chu Xiao's place." Yuwen Batian was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Fang Chen, hurry up and leave. You can't afford to provoke Yuwen Batian." Yang Hong anxiously said as he walked in front of Fang Chen.
Yuwen Batian's cultivation base had reached the third level of the Qi Transformation Realm. His strength was incomparably tyrannical. The current Fang Chen simply couldn't compare to him.
"You want to leave under my, Yuwen Batian's, eyes? Dream on." Yuwen Batian sneered.
Fang Chen's pitch-black eyes stared at Yuwen Batian. Killing intent flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"What do you want?" asked Fang Chen.
"Chu Xiao's strength isn't as good as yours. He can only blame himself. But you were too heavy-handed. If I let you go, how will I be able to stay in Kamikaze Kenbu in the future?" said Yuwen Batian. "I'll only use three moves. After three moves, if you're safe and sound, you can leave."
Hearing Yuwen Batian's words, the surrounding disciples all nodded.
Fang Chen looked at Yuwen Batian without saying anything. Could he still refuse at this point?
"First move."
Yuwen Batian didn't give Fang Chen any time to think. He suddenly clenched his fist and punched at Fang Chen.
"Quicksilver Sword Style."
Fang Chen directly used the Quicksilver Sword Style, which had reached the Refinement realm, to block Yuwen Batian's fist.
Crack!
Even the Refinement realm Quicksilver Sword Style was unable to block Yuwen Batian's fist. With a loud bang, the Quicksilver Sword Style shattered.
But at the same time, the Quicksilver Sword Style also blocked a portion of the fist's power. When the fist landed on Fang Chen's body, it didn't cause much damage to Fang Chen.
Cough cough
Fang Chen lightly coughed and slowly stabilized his footing. His eyes were filled with killing intent. If it weren't for the fact that he was no match for Yuwen Batian, he definitely wouldn't be sitting there waiting for death.
"The moment you're alone will be the moment you die," thought Fang Chen.
When he used the three captains, he had to do it when no one was around. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to bear the charge of colluding with the Yellow Spring Sect.
Right now, he could only rely on his own strength to block Yuwen Batian's attack.
"Not bad. You were able to block my first move."
After Yuwen Batian finished speaking, he continued to use his second move. The power of this second move was clearly much stronger than the first.
When Fang Chen saw Yuwen Batian's second move, his expression changed greatly. He immediately used the Diffraction Sword Style.
Crack!
The Diffraction Sword Style shattered, and Fang Chen's body was sent flying. He landed heavily on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale.
However, under everyone's gaze, Fang Chen still managed to get up.
"Fang Chen, are you alright?" Yang Hong asked worriedly.
"I won't die." Fang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood and said.
At this moment, Yuwen Batian looked at Fang Chen with interest and said, "I didn't expect that an Eighth Level Qi Refining disciple would have such tyrannical strength. It really exceeded my expectations."
"The current you should be able to escape unscathed if you face a Second Level Qi Refining disciple, right?" asked Yuwen Batian.
Of course, he would only be able to escape unscathed.
"I won't hold back for the third move. Whether or not you can block it will depend on your luck," said Yuwen Batian sinisterly.
The surrounding disciples were all shocked as they looked at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen's eyes were cold. His face was filled with stubbornness. He clenched his fists and his heart was filled with anger.
