The three most outstanding geniuses of the Shura Sword Sect died tragically under Fang Chen's Hidden Star Sword.
Lu Tianze and the rest would never have imagined that the person who killed them was the same Gu Jian who was almost severely injured by Lu Tianze in the Golden Sword City's Battle Arena.
However, none of this mattered anymore.
With just three strikes, he killed three people consecutively. One of them was even Lu Tianze, who was in the 8th level of the True Martial Realm. This feat caused Fang Chen's name to spread across the entire Sacred Battle Arena.
The scholar below the Sacred Battle Platform laughed uproariously as his eyes were filled with shock.
It seemed like the City Lord of the Five Elements Sword City was indeed extraordinary.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Fang Chen kept his Hidden Star Sword and prepared to walk down the Sacred Battle Arena.
However, at this moment, an angry roar resounded across the sky.
Suddenly, a figure tore through the void and descended on the Sacred Battle Arena.
Abruptly, the entire Sacred Battle Platform was filled with a tyrannical aura. Even Fang Chen, who had lifted his foot, was unable to advance any further.
"So strong."
Fang Chen thought to himself as sword qi surged around his body.
"Die."
As soon as the figure landed, he pointed his finger ferociously, wanting to kill Fang Chen.
Seeing this, Fang Chen was shocked and immediately used his True Intent of the Void.
His body merged into the void, but he was shocked to find that the power of this finger was too strong. Just the power of the finger was enough to force him to reveal himself.
Hua La
Fang Chen, who had just merged into the void, reappeared in a flash. His face was incomparably solemn.
He didn't understand who this person was and why he wanted to kill him.
However, he was already certain that this person was a Profound King Realm expert. The aura and pressure around him was too strong.
"Old Li, stop."
Just as the finger glow was about to touch Fang Chen's body, another shout suddenly rang out. Then, a stream of spirit qi instantly shot out, directly shattering the finger glow and resolving Fang Chen's crisis.
Then, two figures appeared.
"The dignified Flying Celestial Finger Li Ruoyu actually attacked a True Martial Realm martial artist." At the critical moment, two old men appeared and helped Fang Chen resist that terrifying attack.
This sudden turn of events caused an uproar among the crowd below the Sacred Battle Platform.
When they saw who it was, their hearts were filled with shock.
Flying Celestial Finger Li Ruoyu. Who would have thought that this expert would also appear?
"Flying Celestial Finger, why is Li Ruoyu here?"
"Reportedly, that Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu came from the Asura Sword City. Furthermore, he has a complicated relationship with the Asura Sword Sect."
"Could it be that the Flying Immortal Finger's Li Ruoyu has come for Lu Tianze and the others?"
"This is going to be troublesome. Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu is famous for being protective of his own people."
Many martial artists were discussing among themselves.
It was clear that Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu was quite famous in Burial Sword City.
"That's not necessarily the case. Even the elusive City Lord has appeared. Even Flying Immortal Li Ruoyu would have to give him some face."
When the crowd saw the two City Lords appear, they were shocked.
An ordinary battle on the Sacred Battle Platform had actually drawn out three old monsters.
Although the Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu wasn't as old as the two City Lords, his strength was comparable to theirs. He could be considered a peak expert in the Burial Sword Province.
"He killed my junior. How can I let him off?"
The Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu was blocked by the two City Lords. He glared at them.
"Old Li, this is the Sacred Battle Platform. Don't tell me you don't know the rules here," said the short City Lord.
Burial Sword City's rules were strict. Even Profound Kings couldn't casually break the rules.
Stepping onto the Sacred Battle Platform meant death.
"It's been a long time since my Asura Sword Sect's juniors have entered Burial Sword City. It wasn't easy for a few to come, but they were all killed by this brat," said the Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu.
Clearly, he wasn't going to let this matter rest.
Those who knew the Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu knew that he was infuriated.
"You can't touch him," said the tall City Lord. His attitude was firm.
What kind of joke was this? Fang Chen was someone the palace master had taken a liking to, and he was about to enter the God Burial Sword Prison. How could something happen to him now?
"So you two old fellows are determined to stop me?" The Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu's aura surged.
The tall City Lord nodded.
Seeing this, the Flying Celestial pointed at Li Ruoyu. Her eyes flickered as she glared at Fang Chen and said, "I will not let this matter rest."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He also knew that with the two City Lords present, he couldn't do anything to Fang Chen.
At this time, Fang Chen clenched his fists. He sighed inside.
Everything depended on strength. The Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu was powerful. Even though he had broken the rules, the two City Lords hadn't said anything.
Furthermore, he had even put down his threats.
If his strength reached a certain level, even if he slaughtered the entire Asura Sword Sect, the Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu wouldn't dare to make a sound.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen's eyes blazed. He had already made up his mind to enter the legendary God Burial Sword Prison. He had to find opportunities to raise his cultivation base.
His potential was greater than anyone else's. It was just that he had cultivated for a shorter time.
To be able to survive the twelfth-layer tribulation, what else couldn't he do?
Just as Fang Chen was thinking, the tall City Lord turned to Fang Chen and said, "The Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu is very protective of his people. You killed three of them this time, so he will definitely hold a grudge. Be careful."
"Thank you for your help, City Lord." Fang Chen cupped his hands in thanks.
This time, if it weren't for the City Lord, he would have been seriously injured.
He hadn't expected the Flying Immortal Finger Li Ruoyu.
"Alright, you can go back," said the short City Lord.
Fang Chen nodded his head and left the Sacred Battle Platform.
In the battle on the Sacred Battle Platform, Fang Chen shone brightly. He killed three people with three swords. For a time, everyone thought that his strength was enough to be ranked in the top ten of the younger generation in Sword Burial City.
Of course, there were still some people who objected.
Fang Chen didn't care about this.
After the battle on the Sacred Battle Platform, he also knew his true strength.
He could easily kill a Lv 8 True Martial Realm martial artist, but he couldn't kill a Lv 9 True Martial Realm martial artist.
"I'm still not strong enough," Fang Chen said to himself.
If the outside world knew what Fang Chen was thinking, they would definitely vomit blood.
Being able to easily kill a Lv 8 True Martial Realm martial artist with a Lv 5 True Martial Realm cultivation base was something that even Lu Jingyun, the former number one expert on the Sword Burial Sky Wall, couldn't do.
Being able to easily kill an opponent who was three levels higher than him, such potential was too heaven-defying.
Of course, this kind of thing was very normal for Fang Chen.
He was the only martial artist who had passed the 12th Tribulation in ten thousand years. Just this heaven-defying talent alone was enough for him to fight those who were above his level.
In the garden of the Sword Burial Fairy Palace.
"Fang Chen's growth is still a bit slow," the Palace Lord muttered to himself as he drank tea.
"Palace Lord, Fang Chen has only been in the Sword Burial State for a year. It's already very good that he has grown to this level," the tall Son City Lord said.
"Yes, killing a Lv 8 True Martial Realm martial artist with a Lv 5 True Martial Realm martial artist. If he can come out of the God Burial Sword Prison alive, he might reach the Mysterious King Realm," the short Son City Lord said with a smile.
Hearing this, the Palace Lord shook his head slightly.
He raised his head and looked at the void with his pitch-black eyes, as if he could see through the entire Sword Burial State.
"He's a 12th Tribulation martial artist. His future achievements won't be limited to the Mysterious King Realm."
In the eyes of ordinary people, Fang Chen's growth was simply heaven-defying.
However, in the eyes of a 12th Tribulation martial artist, Fang Chen's growth obviously couldn't meet the Palace Lord's requirements.
After all, every 12th Tribulation martial artist was a heaven-defying existence of an era.
Fang Chen's potential hadn't been fully explored yet.
"Palace Lord, do you think Fang Chen can really get the recognition of the Sword Burial Emperor?" the tall Son City Lord suddenly asked.
The short Son City Lord also looked at the Palace Lord, waiting for an answer.
"I don't know if he will succeed or not, but in the entire Sword Burial State, he's the most likely one to succeed," the Palace Lord of the Sword Burial Fairy Palace muttered to himself.
Hearing this, the tall and short Son City Lords fell into silence.
Fang Chen's appearance had given them too much hope.
