Bang!
Mo Ying, who originally wanted to launch a sneak attack, was suddenly attacked by two people. In a hurry, he barely managed to block the attacks and reappeared from the void in a sorry state.
"How did you discover me?!" Mo Ying roared furiously.
"Mo Ying, today is the day you die," Luo Hong said coldly.
Luo Hong was very strong. His Five Elements Sword Art was pushed to the extreme. Countless sword lights appeared and launched a fierce attack on Mo Ying.
At the same time, Fang Chen also used the True Meaning of Void to launch a sneak attack on Mo Ying.
"You also have the True Meaning of Shadow."
After being attacked by Fang Chen, Mo Ying kept retreating and said with a sinister expression.
"True Meaning of Shadow."
Fang Chen sneered and did not reply.
Bang! Bang!
Luo Hong faced Mo Ying head-on while Fang Chen used the True Meaning of Void to launch a sneak attack.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Ying was a little weak.
"Run."
Mo Ying secretly said in his heart.
Subsequently, his figure flashed as he directly used the True Meaning of Shadow.
However, just as he hid in the void, he was kicked away by Fang Chen.
"Ah!"
Mo Ying was enraged and roared loudly.
His opponent's True Meaning was clearly much stronger than his. In front of this person, his True Meaning of Shadow was completely useless.
Mo Ying was proud of his True Meaning of Shadow.
Once his True Meaning was ineffective, his strength would be greatly reduced.
"Damn it!"
Mo Ying fell into a frenzy and launched a crazy counterattack.
However, Luo Hong and Fang Chen were already prepared. Mo Ying could not attack the two of them at all.
On the contrary, Fang Chen constantly launched sneak attacks on Mo Ying.
Puchi!
At a certain moment, Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword directly pierced Mo Ying's arm and chopped off one of his arms.
"Ah!"
Mo Ying let out a miserable cry as his sword fell to the ground.
Just as he was about to escape, the Hidden Star Sword suddenly appeared from the other side and chopped off his other arm.
With both arms chopped off, Mo Ying let out a miserable cry.
Crack!
Luo Hong's long sword ruthlessly pierced into the demon's head.
The demonic shadow's eyes were filled with unwillingness as his body fell limply to the ground.
Seeing Mo Ying's corpse, Luo Hong felt as if he was dreaming.
"The two of us actually killed Mo Ying," Luo Hong mumbled to himself.
The Demon Shadow was very famous in the nearby cities.
He was especially adept at assassination. Any martial artist that he targeted would not be able to survive.
But now, Mo Ying was actually killed by the two of them. One of them was in the 6th level of the True Martial Realm, and the other was in the 5th level of the True Martial Realm. If this news were to spread out, the outside world would probably not believe it.
Luo Hong looked at Fang Chen and became even more determined to befriend him.
"Let's go," Fang Chen said.
After this battle, Fang Chen also realized his own fighting strength.
In a one-on-one fight, his combat strength was already comparable to a veteran Lv 6 Genuine Martial Realm genius like Luo Hong.
If he added the True Meaning of the Void, he would be able to escape unscathed even if he faced a martial artist at Lv 7 of the True Martial Realm.
The trip to the Jade Moon Wintry Pool had allowed Fang Chen's strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
After Mo Ying's death, on a mountain peak in the Five Elements Mystery Realm, a black shadow was standing on a black altar.
"Yes, Mo Ying is dead."
This black shadow was the Dark Shadow Venerable who had sneak-attacked Luo Hong. He was one of the top assassins in the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization.
This time, he had also entered the Five Elements Mystery Realm.
He had unintentionally found an altar. This altar could summon the souls of almighties who had perished in this place.
Once he fused with the souls, he might be able to break through to the Mysterious King Realm.
While the Dark Shadow Venerable was setting up the altar, Mo Ying's Life Slip in his interspatial ring suddenly shattered.
The Dark Shadow Venerable's expression changed drastically as a terrifying killing intent surged out from his body.
"Who killed Mo Ying?!" The Dark Shadow Venerable roared furiously.
Mo Ying was one of his favorite disciples. Because he had the True Meaning of Shadow, he was deeply favored by the Dark Shadow Venerable. The Dark Shadow Venerable was even prepared to pass on his mantle to Mo Ying.
The reason why he hadn't brought Mo Ying with him this time was because he wanted to temper Mo Ying alone.
But now, he had received bad news. His beloved disciple, Mo Ying, had died.
"No matter who it is, I, the Dark Shadow Venerable, will definitely not let you off for daring to kill my disciple!" The Dark Shadow Venerable roared furiously.
After that, the Dark Shadow Venerable stopped what he was doing and took out a disk. There were some complicated runes on the disk.
The Dark Shadow Venerable poured his aura into the runes, instantly activating the disk. Then, he placed Mo Ying's shattered Life Slip on the disk.
Immediately, the runes on the disk frantically absorbed Mo Ying's imprint from the shattered Life Slip.
In a short while, the shattered Life Slip completely dimmed.
At this moment, a special aura surged out from the disk.
The Dark Shadow Venerable glanced at this aura and it instantly dissipated.
"I've already memorized this aura. Once I'm done here, I'll definitely track you down and kill you," said the Dark Shadow Venerable coldly.
In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed since Fang Chen's death.
During this period, the Demon Cloud Lian State had been refining the Ancient Sword Continent on the mountain peak of the Tianzhou.
As the Demon Cloud Lian State refined the Ancient Sword Continent, the Spirit Qi on the Ancient Sword Continent became even scarcer. It was abnormally difficult for martial artists to cultivate.
Of course, in this year, the Yellow Spring Sect Master had also relied on the fact that he was a subordinate of the Demon Cloud Lian State to continuously suppress the forces of the other three states.
Among them, the Five Elements Academy suffered the most.
The Five Elements State didn't have a quasi-King-level expert, so the remnants of the Yellow Spring Sect constantly harassed the Five Elements Academy.
No one in the upper echelon of the Five Elements Academy was a match for the Yellow Spring Sect Master.
In the end, they could only hole up in the Five Elements Peak.
The Five Elements Peak had a protective array set up by the founder of the Five Elements Academy. Even the Yellow Spring Sect Master couldn't break it.
However, this didn't stop the Yellow Spring Sect Master from slaughtering the martial artists of the Five Elements Academy.
In the past year, as long as a martial artist left the Five Elements Peak, they would be killed by the Yellow Spring Sect.
Within the Five Elements Academy, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
On the main peak of the Five Elements Peak, Principal Wu Yun sat on the highest throne. Below him, the Bloody Spear Man, Elder Han, the four Holy Masters, and Zhang Jingtao were all present.
"Principal, we can't just sit here and wait for death." The Bloody Spear Man was the first to speak.
"That's right. The Yellow Spring Sect has gone too far. We can't continue like this." Elder Han said.
The four Holy Masters all nodded. They couldn't swallow the resentment in their hearts after being suppressed by the Yellow Spring Sect.
"The reason the Yellow Spring Sect chose to suppress our Five Elements Academy is because our Five Elements State doesn't have a quasi-King-level expert." Principal Wu Yun looked around and slowly said.
"That's why I've gathered everyone here today. I want to tell everyone something."
"What is it?" The Bloody Spear Man asked.
"Do you still remember the treasure left behind by our Five Elements Academy's ancestors?" Principal Wu Yun said.
"Principal, you can't."
"That's right. Principal, you can't touch that thing. If you fail, your soul will scatter."
"Principal, please think carefully."
Below him, several True Martial Realm experts all tried to stop him.
Principal Wu Yun shook his head. "I've already made up my mind. There's no need to dissuade me."
After speaking, Principal Wu Yun stood up and said, "I'll leave the Five Elements Academy to you. With the Mountain Protecting Formation, the Yellow Spring Sect can't do anything to us. As long as I succeed, it'll be time for our Five Elements Academy to rise again."
After speaking, Principal Wu Yun disappeared from the main hall.
The True Martial Realm experts below fell into silence.
Of course, danger was everywhere on the Ancient Sword Continent.
The Yellow Spring Sect had always been committing evil and slaughtering ordinary martial artists.
However, with the Devil Cloud Lian State, the two quasi-King-level experts didn't dare to act rashly.
Moreover, as the Devil Cloud Lian State refined the Ancient Sword Continent, the continent's resources became extremely scarce. Even the Spirit Qi was somewhat barren.
In Tianzhou, at the peak of a towering mountain, the Devil Cloud Lian State sat cross-legged.
His body was surrounded by a majestic aura. All the Heaven and Earth energy in the area was sucked to his side.
"As expected, it's too difficult for non-natives to refine," the Devil Cloud Lian State said to himself.
"However, after a year of hard work, the Heart of the World's rejection of me is already very weak."
As long as the Heart of the World didn't reject him, his refining speed would greatly increase.
