Chapter 251: See It To the End
Moonchaser, since you have resolved the trouble surrounding the Qing Province Sword Sect, well be taking our leave if theres nothing else, the Spirit Heaven Sect Master said with a smile.
The Flying Eagle Sect Master fearfully eyed Fang Chen. He was guarded against the latter.
Ling Xu, I thought that you wouldnt be bought over by the Qing Province Sword Sect given our relationship, but you have truly disappointed me today, Abbess Moonchaser coldly uttered.
The Spirit Heaven Sect Masters face crumbled. Moonchaser, please dont misunderstand us. Were doing this so that the Moon Monastery can have a firm footing in Infernoblaze.
The Qing Province Sword Sect Master is a mid Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even the South Heaven Sects Foundation Establishment cultivators have to treat him with respect. Your Moon Monastery will lose its footing in Infernoblaze if it offends the Qing Province Sword Sect.
Moonchaser, we only have good intentions in heart. You have misunderstood us, the Flying Eagle Sect Master added
What will you do if the Qing Province Sword Sect decides to deal with our Moon Monastery from this day onward? Abbess Moonchaser said with an unreadable expression.
The two of them jolted. They knew that they might lose their lives here if they misspoke.
The Spirit Heaven Sect Master pondered about it before replying, It goes without saying that well stand with you given our close ties!
Indeed. The Flying Eagle Sect Master nodded.
Young master Fang, since you have gotten involved, why dont you see it to the end? Ill deal with the Spirit Heaven Sect Master. You settle the Flying Eagle Sect Master for me.
The two of them jolted.
The Spirit Heaven Sect Master roared in anger, Moonchaser, do our past ties mean nothing to you?!
The Flying Eagle Sect Master dared not say a word anymore. He devoted his full attention to guarding against Fang Chen. Yao Dan was an example of what would happen if he let his guard down against a sword cultivator, even if for just a split instant.
Past ties? You have the cheek to say that. Todays affairs have taught me that the friendships I forged in my innocent days arent trustworthy at all, Abbess Moonchaser sneered.
Her spirit ki flurried as she manifested a horsetail whisk from the surrounding water spirit ki to strike the Spirit Heaven Sect Master.
Without any hesitation, the Spirit Heaven Sect Master retreated three hundred meters away. She still had a chance here. As long as she could shake off Moonchaser and flee, she could still survive this ordeal.
In contrast, the Flying Eagle Sect Master was in a terrible position.
Seeing as the two of them slowly got further away from them, the Flying Eagle Sect Master turned to Fang Chen and nervously asked, Daoist, theres no grudge between us. Can you spare me? I am only a small fry. Killing me serves no purpose to you. Instead, the karma you incur from this will impede you in your Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations in the future.
The two of us have barely started our journey as cultivators; the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations you speak of is a distant affair. I plan to just follow my heart and live with a clear conscience, Fang Chen replied with a smile.
Little sword whizzed forth.
The Flying Eagle Sect Master immediately pulled out all of his aces and desperately tried to fend against little sword, even shattering some of his artifacts in the process, but he still lost his life twenty seconds later.
The Moon Monasterys nuns looked at Fang Chen in deference upon witnessing that sight.
Even Abbess Moonchaser wouldnt have been able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator with such ease!
Young master Fangs cultivation has grown by a terrifying extent, Abbess Clearlotus murmured wistfully.
Seeing that Abbess Moonchaser was still crossing blows with the Spirit Heaven Sect Master, Fang Chen took the time to collect his spoils of war, particularly Yao Dan and the Flying Eagle Sect Masters storage rings.
He left the possessions of the Qing Province Sword Sects disciples be, thinking that they would decide its allocation after Abbess Moonchaser was done with her battle.
Yao Dans storage ring had 200 low-grade ki stones and a 16 daosoul imprints artifact.
The Flying Eagle Sect Masters storage ring had 100 low-grade ki stones and a bunch of spirit herbs and spirit medicine. It was unfortunate that his artifact had shattered while crossing blows with Fang Chen.
Fang Chen fed these two artifacts to little sword, satiating its hunger for the time being. However, little sword quickly turned its eyes toward the artifacts of the Qing Province Sword Sects disciples.
No rush. We havent split the loot yet. You can take a rest first, Fang Chen said with a smile.
Little sword slipped into Fang Chens body, and soon, it started snoring. It was digesting the artifacts it had consumed.
Fang Chen could sense little swords aura slowly growing. The stronger little sword was, the stronger his physical body would be when they were fused together.
Sword cultivators term this state as Sword Body. No wonder countless people seek to become sword cultivators even though their lifespans tend to be shorter than normal cultivators.
The benefits of Sword Body were clear.
The art of sword morph was one, but the enhanced resilience was a huge advantage. Cultivators were made of flesh and blood. While they could bolster their defense with spirit ki, they could still be outdone by mortals once they lost their spirit ki.
This was true for all cultivators, unless they practiced a physical enhancement method.
However, cultivators who specialized in physical enhancement were even rarer than sword cultivators. It was not that physical enhancement methods were rare, but hardly any cultivator was willing to waste their spirit ki on reinforcing their physical body.
Reinforcing ones physical body did nothing to boost ones cultivation; they would rather devote their spirit ki to forging their immortal vein.
This was true for not just Ki Refinement cultivators but Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul cultivators too. They required an immense amount of spirit ki to make a breakthrough.
Sword Body granted a sword cultivator resilience superior to a physical enhancement cultivator, making them a terrifying foe both in terms of offensive and defensive prowess.
Little sword only requires artifacts to grow stronger. If I can gather enough spirit materials or even find a spirit mine for it Fang Chens head heated up.
Strengthening little sword would raise the prowess of his Sword Body too, thus making him far stronger than his peers.
Abbess Moonchaser and the Spirit Heaven Sect Master slowly drifted further away from the Moon Monastery in the midst of their fight, to the point where Abbess Clearlotus couldnt see them anymore.
Young master Fang, will my master be fine? Abbess Clearlotus asked worriedly.
Your master is a prudent person. She would only make a move if shes confident of victory, Fang Chen replied with a smile.
Abbess Clearlotus and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
An hour later, Abbess Moonchaser returned. Her robe was covered in blood. Some of her injuries were so deep that they exposed her bones, but she didnt seem to be in pain at all.
The Spirit Heaven Sect Master exploded her artifact and fled. Abbess Moonchaser eyed the Flying Eagle Sect Masters corpse and felt a little uncomfortable.
A person whom she considered to be her junior had easily dealt with Yao Dan and the Flying Eagle Sect Master, whereas she was injured by the Spirit Heaven Sect Master and still failed to take her down. This wounded her pride a little.
How far away is the Spirit Heaven Sect? Fang Chen asked.
Abbess Moonchaser shook her head. She wont return there anytime soon.
She can run, but her sect cant. We can plunder some of their artifacts and spirit materials too. Fang Chen smiled.
Abbess Moonchaser was startled. Seconds of silence passed before she nodded. Ill lead you there later.
The two of them proceeded to split the loot. That added some artifacts into Fang Chens storage ring. They werent of particularly high grade, but they could pass as snacks for little sword.
He decided to keep the additional storage rings for now, figuring that he might find a use for them in the future.
He curretnly had around 1800 low-grade ki stones in his storage ring, four passable artifacts, two Jadegreen Lotus Seeds, and a handful of ordinary spirit herbs and spirit medicine.
