Chapter 497: Don’t Disturb Me When I’m Speaking

When Fairy Yu saw that the Golden Core Realm cultivators were showing signs of joining forces, she chuckled. "I can't unleash my full power here. Let's take the fight to the sky."

The cultivators on the ship breathed a sigh of relief. However, they couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. These people were all targeting the demoness, but she still didn't want them to be swept by the aftermath of the fight.

"The matters above are too complicated," Elder Xu said with a complex expression.

As they were just Foundation Building Realm cultivators, they couldn't participate in an event of this magnitude.

"The demoness is cunning, beware of her tricks. Attack!"

One of Heavenly King Zhen’s celestial soldiers suddenly made a move, as spiritual energy surged and turned into a tide of arrows shooting swiftly toward Fairy Yu. These arrows not only enveloped her but also covered almost half of the ship's cultivators. Some of it even seemed deliberately aimed at the elderly and weak.

Fairy Yu frowned slightly. She sighed softly and used her remaining spiritual energy to create a barrier, protecting the entire ship.

After withstanding the barrage of light arrows, the spiritual energy barrier collapsed. At that moment, almost all the Golden Core Realm cultivators present could see that this female cultivator was on her last leg!

The celestial soldiers sneered, and one of them said, "As expected... you have completely depleted your spiritual energy. The damage from that last sword must have been substantial."

All the Golden Core Realm cultivators present realized that the opponent had used this method to probe the female cultivator's true strength. This caused them to breathe a sigh of relief, as a Golden Core Realm sword cultivator whose spiritual energy was completely depleted didn't seem difficult to handle.

"What tricks do you still have?" the Golden Core Realm cultivator taunted. "You might as well surrender and save us some trouble."

Facing the aggressive attitude of the Golden Core Realm cultivator, Fairy Yu simply sneered contemptuously without responding. However, the cultivators on the ship exchanged looks as a surge of anger rose in their hearts.

It was clear that this Golden Core Realm cultivator was using their lives as a shield for themselves! If it weren't for the female cultivator’s intervention, they would have suffered heavy casualties! However, since they were a Golden Core Realm cultivator, they dared not say anything and could only suppress their anger.

The four celestial soldiers chuckled. "She's out of tricks now. What are we waiting for?"

The Golden Core Realm cultivators looked at each other and slowly approached Fairy Yu with vigilance, ready to defend against any sudden attacks.

However, this advancing situation suddenly came to a halt due to something unexpected. Everyone frowned as they saw a figure walk toward the demoness alone.

The Golden Core Realm cultivators present sneered. "Is this junior trying to land the last blow to steal the credit?"

No matter what, it would not be easy for a junior to kill a sword cultivator even if their spiritual energy was depleted.

"Does he also want to meddle in this matter...?" Elder Xu's eyes flickered slightly.

Fairy Yu sensed someone approaching her and looked with a cold sneer. However, when she took a closer look at who it was, her expression stiffened. Her heart pounded uncontrollably, and her hands even trembled lightly. However, she quickly suppressed her excitement and regained her composure.

She said indifferently, "Junior, you're not even a Golden Core Realm cultivator, so don't get involved in this matter. Leave now and I'll spare your life."

Fang Chen remained indifferent and continued walking toward her.

Her voice became even more stern, "Don't come any closer to me!"

Fang Chen had already reached her side by now.

Everyone was stunned. Even the group of Golden Core Realm cultivators in the sky couldn't understand why the female cultivator hadn't done anything to the junior.

Had she just been bluffing the whole time? Could it be that she really couldn't even handle a junior?

The Golden Core realm cultivators became extremely excited at that thought.

Fang Chen smiled gently as he tidied up the messy hair on Fairy Yu's shoulders. "Don't you recognize me?"

The speculations in everyone's minds came to a halt, and some of them looked at the scene with disbelief.

Do these two... know each other?

Among them, the group led by Senior Chi was the most shocked. The young man in front of them was clearly a passenger on their ship, and just before this incident occurred, they were planning to investigate him for murder.

The cultivator surnamed Zhou by Senior Chi’s side couldn't help but take a cold breath as he looked at Fang Chen and Fairy Yu with suspicion. This guy... knows the abandoned disciple of the Void Immortal Sword Sect!? Is he related to the Void Immortal Sword Sect?

The cultivator surnamed Zhou felt uneasy and couldn't help but transmit his voice. "Uncle..."

Senior Chi's expression became solemn as he transmitted, "Don't worry, even if his background is extraordinary, now that he's getting close to this witch, he's already an enemy of Heavenly King Zhen of the Central Continent Empire, and those Golden Core Realm cultivators won't let him off. It's fortunate that we encountered this incident; otherwise, you and I would have had a difficult time."

That cultivator surnamed Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. He finally understood why that cultivator had killed people aboard the ship so flippantly. That guy was very likely from the Central Continent Empire too!

"E-Elder Xu... Who exactly is this person!?"

The young Foundation Building Realm cultivator who had dinner with them earlier knew the abandoned Void Immortal Sword Sect disciple, and... their relationship seemed a bit complicated.

Several other Foundation Building Realm cultivators were all stunned as they looked at Elder Xu subconsciously.

"Gentlemen, this person’s background is not simple, and his cultivation level is not as he claimed," Elder Xu transmitted.

He then fell silent, looking somewhat solemn.

"He knows Demoness Yu?!"

"What's their relationship?"

The Golden Core Realm cultivators who came later were somewhat uncertain. However, the four under Heavenly King Zhen's command let out a cold laugh. "Since he's so close to the demoness, they must be birds of a feather. Capturing them together is only natural."

Fairy Yu stared fixedly at Fang Chen, trying hard to keep her expression cold and serious. However, she couldn't control the tears rolling down her eyes.

"She's actually crying?"

Everyone couldn't believe it. That terrifying sword cultivator who could easily slay Golden Core Realm cultivators... was now actually crying because of a young man!

Suddenly, Fairy Yu took a step back and locked her gaze on Fang Chen. "Junior, step back."

"What's the matter? Can't we solve it together? Are you afraid of burdening me?" Fang Chen smiled. "There's nothing in this world that can sever the connection between you and me. Being afraid of this and that isn't your style."

In the end, Fairy Yu couldn't hold it in anymore, and she lamented, "Lord... I've killed many people...."

Just then, a flash of sword light suddenly attacked the two. A Golden Core Realm cultivator saw that Fairy Yu was distracted and wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Fang Chen raised his hand with a sword and the Golden Core Realm cultivator who attempted the sneak attack was instantly obliterated under the sword light. He had been one of the celestial soldiers.

Everyone gasped in unison, shocked. They couldn't believe what they saw.

A sword cultivator! Another sword cultivator!

They finally understood why the two knew each other; they were both sword cultivators!

"So, he’s also a sword cultivator..." Elder Xu murmured to himself.

Senior Chi and his nephew looked extremely solemn. If Fang Chen didn't die later, they might end up in trouble.

Fang Chen looked at the Golden Core Realm cultivators in the sky and spoke softly. "I'm speaking, don't interrupt. Understood?"

After a few breaths, they nodded reluctantly.

The methods of this sword cultivator before them... were obviously stronger than Demoness Yu. He was cutting down Golden Core Realm cultivators without hesitation....

The situation seemed a bit unusual.
