Chapter 185: You’re Done? It’s My Turn

Theres no stopping Great Xias rise anymore Ji Congyun murmured as he suppressed the shock in his heart. As he silently heaved a helpless sigh, he put on a smile and clasped his fist. War God Fang, you arrived just on time. I have already come to an agreement with Heavenroc, Redsky, and Vastseas envoys to confirm Great Xias qualification to advance to grade-8.

The crowd was stunned. This outcome was beyond them, but they dared not to get involved. They could only murmur their dissatisfaction in their minds. What right does Great Xia have to advance to grade-8?

Song Yis face was the palest of all. Even Ji Congyun, the Ji Clans patriarch, had chosen to lower his head to Fang Chen. This meant that not even the Ji Clan could protect him today.

Patriarch Ji, thats not what we have discussed. Are you intimidated by their little tricks? the Vastsea third stage Origin Ki martial artist spoke up as he coldly eyed Fang Chen.

How can a weak country that was once defeated by Greenpine have the right to become a grade-8 state? Thats a title reserved for the strong, not for weak cowards. The strength of a nation is a holistic assessment; it doesnt bank on having a single Longevity Ki martial artist. Otherwise, the title of a grade-8 state will be cheapened.

The Chillwater civilians present were delighted to hear those words. They themselves were proud of their title as a grade-8 state. That prompted them to look at Fang Chen and the others in disdain.

Ji Congyuns face stiffened up.

To garner Vastsea, Heavenroc, and Redskys help to suppress Great Xia, he and Chillwaters emperor had refrained from informing the three grade-8 states that Great Xia was backed by immortals, fearing that they would back down out of fear.

And clearly, this Vastsea Origin Ki martial artist had never come into contact with any immortals before, so he couldnt tell that Xia Yuns earlier fireball wasnt mere trickery.

Why arent you saying a word, the loser of a defeated state? The Vastsea Origin Ki martial artist looked at Fang Chen with a derisive sneer.

Xu Ge was infuriated. Li Daoye rubbed his palms together. The two of them looked at the Vastsea Origin Ki martial artist with cold smiles, knowing that Fang Chen wouldnt allow him to walk out of here alive.

Whats your name? Fang Chen calmly asked.

Zhengye Haonan! the Vastsea Origin Ki martial artist replied. Our Zhengye Clan has two Longevity Ki old ancestors!

Two Longevity Ki old ancestors?!

No wonder he dares to say such words.

Great Xia should be terrified now! I reckon they only have two Longevity Ki martial artists at most. Just the Longevity Ki martial artists of our four states would be enough to purge them!

The crowd murmured.

Song Yis eyes lit up with hope.

Fang Chen and the others might not be able to touch him if Vastsea was willing to intervene.

Your Vastsea has Three Great ClansBaqi, Duanwu, and Zhengye. I believe your Zhengye Clan is the weakest of the Three Great Clans? In fact, your Zhengye Clan and the Duanwu Clan serve to support Baqi, am I right? Fang Chen asked.

Zhengye Haonan narrowed his eyes. It looks like you have investigated our Vastsea.

Indeed. Fang Chen laughed. Back then, I naively thought that even if a superior state interferes in a war between subordinate states, they would still hold back. Great Xia used to be Chillwaters vassal state, after all, and it pays tribute to the latter every year.

However, Chillwater was blind and deaf to the battle at the Three Realms Mountain. They knew about Vastseas involvement, but they refused to make a move. That was the moment I realized that it is futile to rely on others.

Ji Congyun maintained an impassive face, but Ji Lengxing and the others frowned.

In truth, Chillwater had come to an agreement with Vastsea over this matter. To put it bluntly, Chillwater had sold Great Xia out for a decent price

Indignant howls from a loser. Do you dare cross blows with me once more right now? If you lose, I suggest you obediently retreat to your Great Xia and never raise the idea of advancing to grade-8 ever again. Your Great Xia will never be qualified! the first stage Aureate Ki martial artist standing behind Zhengye Haonan suddenly spoke up.

The crowd turned to the Aureate Ki martial artist with perplexed looks. Did he cross blows with Fang Chen before?

Xia Yun and the others narrowed their eyes.

They could tell from context that this was the man who assaulted Fang Chen in the Three Realms Mountains, thus helping Greenpine secure its victory. Due to him, Great Xia lost six hundred thousand soldiers.

Ah, I nearly forgot. Zhengye Haonan gestured to the Aureate Ki martial artist with a smile. This is our Zhengye Clans offspring who easily defeated Great Xias so-called War God back then, Zhengye Yinggui! He is a capable one. He was only sixteen five years ago, but he has already reached Aureate Ki. He is now at pinnacle Aureate Ki, just a step away from Primal Ki.

The crowd was taken aback.

A 16-year-old Aureate Ki martial artist? Not to mention, hes only 21 this year, but hes already on the verge of reaching Primal Ki? At this rate, he should reach Origin Ki by 45!

This is a potential Longevity Ki martial artist in the making!

Zhengye Yinggui laughed as he walked up to Fang Chen. Loser, do you dare fight me?

Young master, Ill deal with him, Zhao Yan said.

Zhengye Yinggui sneered, Youre a Longevity Ki martial artist. Dont be in such a rush; we have plenty of Longevity Ki martial artists to deal with you. Its unseemly for someone of your stature to bully the weak.

A load of bull. Didnt you do the same back at the Three Realms Mountain? Xu Ge berated.

Zhengye Yinggui laughed arrogantly. I was 16 then, two years younger than Fang Chen.

Enough. Lets not waste time on words, Fang Chen said with a smile. Zhao Yan and Xu Ge immediately shut their mouths. Fang Chen then turned to Zhengye Yinggui and said, I have waited years for this day.

Is that so? Make your move. Zhengye Yinggui was unfazed by Fang Chens words.

His aureate ki furiously surged out as he drew both of his sabers. The crowd saw two brilliant flashes of light crashing down on Fang Chen with lightning bolts.

That was the move Fang Chen had lost to back at the Three Realms Mountain. Five years had passed since, but Zhengye Yinggui was still confident that Fang Chen would be defeated by the same move.

Zhengye Haonan nodded in approval of his juniors saber art. He was so confident that things would go his way that he didnt notice Ji Congyuns look of resignation.

This offspring of the Zhengye Clan is going to die today. Ji Congyun shook his head.

The same move. Fang Chen shook his head with a smile.

He didnt bother moving in the least, allowing the two saber strikes to land squarely on him.

Bam!

To the crowds shock, Zhengye Yingguis attack was blocked by some kind of unknown energy. He failed to sever even a single one of Fang Chens hair, let alone hurt him.

Impossible! Zhengye Yinggui was shocked.

He quickly swung his saber once more, but the outcome was the sameFang Chen was unharmed!

This cant be! Zhengye Yinggui roared in disbelief.

He continued hacking down on Fang Chen again and again.

Twenty seconds later, Zhengye Yinggui had already expended almost half of his aureate ki, but he found that he couldnt hurt Fang Chen at all. This bewildering situation planted a seed of fear in his heart, and he unwittingly retreated a few steps.

Are you done? Its my turn, Fang Chen said with a smile.
