This scene was too sudden, causing everyone from the eight regions to be slightly shocked. Ying Wu, Jing Cai and the other leaders from the various regions furrowed their brows. A rare look of fear flashed across their eyes.
"This power, is he also at the World State?"
Fang Qing knitted her eyebrows in surprise when the sword light shattered. Her pretty eyes were grave as she looked at the spatial crack. She said in a faint voice, "Since you are here, show yourself. Why do you need to hide?"
"Haha, sect leader Fang Qing, it has been decades since we last met. You are still as beautiful as ever."
A clear laughter rang out from the spatial crack. A delicate and handsome figure slowly walked out. His footsteps were steady and strong. His hair, which was not considered long, had already turned white. However, his face was still as tender as a baby's, making him look somewhat enchanting.
"It's Yao Ming!"
Ying Wu's pretty eyes instantly turned cold as she softly cried out.
The people from the eight regions were startled when they heard her soft voice spreading from beside her. Shock flashed in their eyes.
"Yao Ming?
The Chaos Region Lord. I did not expect him to also appear. "
Everyone's attention was focused. A battle between two overlords was a rare sight. Even the elders and protectors, who had attained the phenomenal or perfected Domain Realm, held their breaths. They seemed too weak in front of these two people.
"Yao Ming has also appeared … haha, the Chaos Region has really gone all out this time. They really do not intend to let that brat off." Jing Cai's old eyes were sinister as he concentrated.
"However, it is not surprising. Thousands of elites from the Chaos Region. This loss is enough for the Chaos Region to suffer for decades. That brat is indeed a little too ruthless this time. It is inevitable that the Chaos Region will not let him off."
"Let's wait and see. Whether that brat lives or dies will depend on Fang Qing."
Jing Cai was solemn. Even though he knew that Qin Shi was extraordinary, it would be even more difficult for him to escape from Yao Ming than it was a year ago. If Fang Qing chose to abandon him now, he would definitely die.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and stared at the figure in the spatial crack. His heart became very solemn. This was the first time he had seen Yao Ming, and he was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
"Welcome, Region Lord!"
After narrowly escaping death, Shi Feng and the others panted heavily, fear lingering in their hearts. However, when they saw Yao Ming, they released a sigh of relief. Following which, their eyes regained their previous sinister look.
With Yao Ming around, they felt more confident.
Yao Ming softly laughed and waved his hand. He immediately said to Fang Qing, "Sect chief Fang Qing, isn't it a little unreasonable for you to openly attack my Region Protector?"
"They were the ones who attacked my sect's disciples first. I'm just teaching them a lesson on your behalf since you're not here. There's nothing wrong with that." Fang Qing snorted coldly.
The corner of Yao Ming's mouth twitched in an unnatural manner. His eyes leaped over Fang Qing and looked at Qin Shi. "Little fellow, your growth has surprised me. It seems that letting you leave a year ago was a mistake."
Weng!
A strange force approached Qin Shi in an invisible manner. Qin Shi immediately felt a chill run down his spine. His waist involuntarily sank a little. This Yao Ming was pressuring him.
However, under such circumstances, he clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and smiled. "I told you, you could have killed me back then. If you had let me leave alive, one day, I would have bathed the Chaotic Territory in blood."
Everyone was startled upon hearing these words.
What a joke. He said that he would bathe the Chaotic Region in blood in front of Yao Ming?
Was this brat crazy?
Fang Qing was also startled. She smiled, "What a bold brat."
She waved her hand and the pressure that had been troubling Qin Shi immediately disappeared. Only then did Qin Shi heave a long sigh of relief. He gratefully looked at Fang Qing.
"Thank you sect chief." Qin Shi cupped his hands together.
Yao Ming's expression sank when Fang Qing intervened. "Ha ha, sect chief Fang Qing, this brat is extremely ruthless. He slaughtered thousands of disciples from my region. You should be careful of nurturing a tiger that will invite disaster. I'm afraid that saving him today will bring disaster to your Sword Sect in the future."
Yao Ming was clearly trying to instigate Fang Qing. All the people from the eight regions were clearly aware of this. However, none of them said anything. All of them looked at Fang Qing.
She was the one with the final say.
"Ha ha, nurturing a tiger that will invite disaster?
Are you talking about yourself? "Suddenly, Fang Qing sneered.
Everyone panicked upon hearing this. If one were to talk about nurturing a tiger that would invite disaster, then Yao Ming was indeed the tiger of the Chaotic Region. Back when Can Shang was in power, he had groomed Yao Ming as his pride and brought him along for all occasions. However, Yao Ming's actions later on were extremely disappointing.
"You …!" A cold glint was emitted from Yao Ming's eyes. He hated it when others mentioned the past. "Fang Qing, don't go overboard!"
"The one who is going overboard is you. It seems that the matters of my Sword Sect are not for you to interfere."
Fang Qing coldly laughed. She turned around and looked at Qin Shi. "As long as you are a disciple of my Sword Sect, this place will forever be your backer. There is no need to be afraid of anything. As long as you feel that it is right, you can do it."
Fang Qing did not hide her words. Her gentle voice resounded over the sky like an ancient tomb bell. At the same time, it also expressed her attitude. This caused many people to be slightly startled. Even Qin Shi felt this way. His heart involuntarily felt a warmth.
This was the first time he had met Fang Qing. It was indeed surprising that Fang Qing would do so much for him. Moreover, he also felt that joining the Sword Sect back then was the right decision.
"Fang Qing!" Yao Ming violently clenched his fist and furiously cried out.
Fang Qing leisurely turned her head and smiled. "All of you claim that Qin Shi has killed a thousand of your Chaotic Region's disciples. However, this is within the rules of the Divine Region Sacrifice. Although his methods are indeed a little ruthless, he is not wrong.
"I am going to take him away now. If you still want to stop me, then prepare for a war between the Sword Sect and the Chaotic Region."
Fang Qing's aura suddenly changed after she spoke. This caused countless people to hold their breaths. The last two words' war 'violently struck everyone's heart. Fang Qing did not have the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, she wanted to take the initiative to attack?
Jing Cai involuntarily smiled from below. He stroked his beard and said, "This brat is really lucky. It seems that Fang Qing values him greatly. There should not be any major problems today."
Yao Ming fiercely focused after this stalemate. At this moment, Fang Qing's lovely voice sounded once again.
"Additionally, don't treat my words as a joke. My Sword Sect might have endured in the eight regions for many years, but it does not mean that we are pushovers. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
Fang Qing narrowed her eyes. Only then did she stop speaking nonsense. She turned around and said to Jian Qing's group, "Let's go."
"Yes!"
Jian Qing raised his eyebrows and glared at Shi Feng. Only then did he call out to the disciples below. Yu Yue moved to Qin Shi's side and supported Qin Shi.
The faces of Shi Feng's three protectors darkened when they saw the Sword Sect's actions. Shi Feng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Domain Lord, are we just going to let him leave like this?"
Yao Ming narrowed his eyes. The surrounding space shattered, but no one cared about it at this moment. He coldly said, "That organization will definitely pursue the matter of Chen Gan's death. This brat must stay behind today no matter what."
"You mean …"
"Offending that organization is far more troublesome than offending the Sword Sect," Yao Ming said decisively.
Yao Ming murmured decisively. Then, the shattered space around him suddenly pulsated. His killing intent surged. "Get ready to attack. Kill him."
"Yes!"
Shi Feng's eyes flashed coldly when he received the order. He clearly held a grudge against Fang Qing.
Jing Cai, Ying Wu, and the leaders of the various regions rose to their feet in alarm. Even Fang Qing frowned slightly and glanced to the back.
Jing Cai stared at the slowly rising spirit light on the Chaotic Region's side and said, "They're about to attack!"
"This time, it's serious."
"Elder, what should we do?"
The various regions asked for orders. This was no time to joke around. If things went wrong, it could turn into a war that had not been seen in a thousand years.
The leaders of the various domains held their breaths and issued orders one after another. "Hold the troops and tell the disciples to be careful. If these two fellows really start fighting, I'm afraid that everything within a ten thousand mile radius will be reduced to ruins. The aftershocks are unimaginable. Don't let our people get caught up in it."
"In addition, quickly send someone back to the region and pass this news to the Domain Lord. Let's see what instructions he has."
A dense dangerous aura filled the air. Fang Qing sneered, "Do you really want to try?"
"You're the one who wants to kill yourself. Don't blame me."
Yao Ming laughed indifferently. Soon after, he waved his sleeve and grabbed at Qin Shi. "Brat, follow me back to the Chaotic Region to atone for your crimes."
Qin Shi suddenly sank. A vast spiritual pressure distorted his bones. A powerful force came from behind him, causing him to uncontrollably charge at Yao Ming.
"Shi Tou!
Qin Shi! "
Qin Xue Xin involuntarily cried out. Yu Yue also raised her hand and forcefully pulled Qin Shi back. However, he was too naive.
"A puny Heavenly Slaughter Stage wants to fight against me?
You're overestimating yourself. "
Yao Ming sneered. He curled his finger and the space around Qin Shi exploded. With a loud bang, a force violently slammed into Yu Yue's chest. Yu Yue's ribs were broken and her face twisted as she was sent flying a thousand meters.
The old eyes of Jian Qing and the others sunk upon seeing this scene. "Chaotic Region!"
Fang Qing focused. She waved her hand and grabbed Qin Shi's shoulder. Only then was Yao Ming's Emptiness Force forced back. Traces of murderous intent rose in her pretty eyes.
"Yao Ming, you've gone too far!"
Fang Qing only raised her hand after speaking. Her five fingers became hot. Soon after, a golden sword was formed in her hand in front of everyone's eyes.
Everyone stared at the golden sword. The patterns on it seemed to have come from the hands of a god. It was so exquisite that one could not find even the slightest flaw. It was pointed proudly at Yao Ming.
"It's the Sky Punishing Sword!"
"The strongest of the eighteen sect protector swords of the Sword Sect. The Destiny Sword of every sect master of the Sword Sect … hiss, Fang Qing has even taken it out."
"It seems that she is really prepared to fight Yao Ming." If this battle really started, the result would be beyond anyone's control.
In an instant, Jing Cai and the leaders of the eight regions tensed up.
