Chapter 263: You Betrayed Me

Chapter 263: You Betrayed Me

Long Tianxing stared at Fang Chen for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

If you can hurt me in a single blow, Ill relinquish my position as the Qing Province Sword Sect Master to you!

A commotion broke out.

The crowd knew that Long Tianxing had to be extremely confident to dare say such words, and this was unlikely to end well for Fang Chen.

He might be a sword cultivator but its not that easy to bridge the massive gap in their cultivation. They could tell from the spirit ki pulsations from the Spirit Heaven Mountain a few days ago that Fang Chen was only at Ki Refinement.

You said that yourself. Fang Chen chuckled.

Make your move, Long Tianxing coolly said.

A cold gleam flashed across Fang Chens eyes as he prepared to unleash the first form of the Eight Barrens Immortal Subjugation Peerless Swordsmanship. A terrifying sword intent arose from him, and his spirit ki rage.

The crowd saw Fang Chen emitting a brilliant golden light, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

This was the first time they had sensed such a terrifying sword intent up close. It was hard to describe the sensation, but if they really had to put it into words it felt like they were half a foot into the netherworld, as if the sword intent would slice them into shreds the next moment!

Long Tianxing was stunned. Goosebumps rose all over his body.

His instincts were shouting at him that this was going dangerousextremely so!

Xia Xuanjis face turned grim. He realized he had underestimated the sword cultivator. He had no confidence he could escape from such an attack unscathed.

The three elders from the Spirit Heaven Sect were astounded too. They knew that they would have been goners if the sword cultivator had used this attack on them that day. Even the Spirit Heaven Sect would be leveled before such an attack!

They were glad that they had surrendered their possessions and fled!

There was a flash of silver light, and the terrifying sword intent gushed out.

Long Tianxing couldnt conceal his shock anymore. He was just about to defend himself when he heard a furious roar echoed.

The Flooding Dragon Island Masters face darkened. He immediately unleashed his spirit ki, revealing his true prowess as a late Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A late Foundation Establishment cultivator?! Long Tianxing and Xia Xuanji were taken aback.

So was the crowd too.

Whats going on here?

Before the crowd could make sense of this baffling situation, little sword had already pierced through the Flood Dragon Island Masters spirit ki barrier, and it proceeded to plunge into his heart with unstoppable momentum.

Pu!

Blood spewed all over.

Why The Flood Dragon Island Master first looked at his punctured chest before glaring at Fang Chen in hatred and confusion.

Do you think I wouldnt know youre from the Sea Dragon Sect? Fang Chen coldly replied.

The Spirit Heaven City Lord was stunned. The others were also bewildered by this turn of event.

Why did the sword cultivator suddenly make a move on the city lords friend?! Wasnt he going to settle the scores with the Qing Province Sword Sects Long Tianxing?!

Long Tianxing was utterly confused, but at the same time, he felt incredibly relieved too. Theres no way I could have withstood that sword!

Damn it The Flood Dragon Island Master glared at the Spirit Heaven City Lord with venomous eyes. You betrayed me. The Sea Dragon Sect will avenge me

His body dissipated into ashes after leaving behind his last words. Even his storage ring was obliterated by that terrifying sword intent too.

This again. What a pity Fang Chen sighed.

In just a few seconds, he had depleted and recovered his spirit ki many times.

Each time his spirit ki fell empty and was waiting to recover, his blood essence would be consumed instead, causing his blood and flesh to wither a little.

He was glad to have eradicated the Flooding Dragon Island Master. The offensive prowess of the Eight Barrens Immortal Subjugation Peerless Swordsmanship didnt let him down.

The startled Spirit Heaven City Lord stared at the Flood Dragon Island Masters ashes in a daze before exclaiming, W-when did I betray you?!

Even now, he was still trying to grasp the situation. The sword cultivator should have been facing off with Long Tianxing, so why did he attack the Flood Dragon Island Master instead?

Wait Does this mean

The Spirit Heaven City Lord looked at Fang Chen in astonishment. The truth dawned on him. This must be the person the Flood Dragon Island Master was looking for!

That old bastard! He knew that the person hes looking for is a sword cultivator, but he didnt say a word about it. He must have known that this sword cultivator is the person he was looking for from the moment that fellow took over the Spirit Mountain Sect.

He withheld that information from me because he wanted to probe the sword cultivators means. Little did he know that the sword cultivator already knew about his background and was planning to launch a surprise assault on him.

But that old bastard thought I ratted on him! If the Sea Dragon Sect learns about this

The Spirit Heaven City Lords complexion turned pale.

In contrast, his daughter and Ye Wenxiu were overjoyed.

Spirit Heaven City Lord was that person a late Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sea Dragon Sect? Long Tianxing asked with a frown.

The Sea Dragon Sect

The crowd was bewildered too. The Sea Dragon Sect was a powerful sect with a Golden Core cultivator. They had built up a huge reputation not just in Infernoblaze but among surrounding states too.

What did I just see?! A late Foundation Establishment cultivator was killed in a single strike?!

Thats frightening! Is this what sword cultivators are capable of?

Unbelievable! I cant believe my eyes!

Such whispers could be vaguely heard. The crowd looked at Fang Chen in deference.

Late Foundation Establishment Xia Xuanji murmured as cold sweat drenched his blood.

He was glad he backed down earlier. He wouldnt have stood a chance if that sword was directed at him instead. He would have suffered the same fate as the Sea Dragon Sects late Foundation Establish cultivator.

Perhaps, he might not have even been able to leave his dying words!

The Spirit Heaven Sects three elders were terrified.

Even the first elder regretted his decision. Had he known that the sword cultivator was this powerful, he wouldnt have used the communication talisman at all.

The Spirit Heaven City Lord slowly spoke up, He is the Flooding Dragon Island Master, a late Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sea Dragon Sect

Long Tianxing felt a shiver run down his spine. That was a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, but even he couldnt withstand that sword cultivators attack?!

The surroundings fell deathly silent. Only breathing sounds could be heard.

What the crowd didnt know was that Fang Chens face was swiftly aging beneath his mask. Several wrinkles had appeared on his face, making him look more like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Fang Chen knew that he was aging, though he had no way of knowing the extent right now.

His cultivation wasnt high enough for him to execute the Eight Barrens Immortal Subjugation Peerless Swordsmanship, but he still unleashed it twice. This resulted in his core suffering some damage, and it showed on his lifespan.

Sect Master Long, when do you intend to step down as the Qing Province Sword Sect Master? You said that youd relinquish that position to me if I could wound you in a single move, right? Does that offer still hold? Fang Chen asked hoarsely.

The Qing Province Sword Sects cultivators panicked, but they calmed down seconds later.
