Immortal of the Nine Realms

A peak-grade Purple Lightning Talisman?

Abbess Zhu Yue was dumbfounded! Such a Purple Lightning Talisman wielded terrifying power, far beyond what a low-grade talisman could match!

Yao Dan and the others were stunned. How did he just casually take out a peak-grade Purple Lightning Talisman? That was a peerless treasure! Where could he have possibly obtained it from? They had never seen a peak-grade Purple Lightning Talisman in the Flame Empire before!

Qing He was confused, and she repeated, ”Throw it at them?”

Fang Chen nodded with a smile. ”Yes, just chuck it straight at them. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Qing He, being obedient, immediately activated the Purple Lightning Talisman with spiritual energy and then threw it toward Yao Dan and the others.

Purple lightning instantly burst forth, blanketing the heavens.

”How dare you?!” Yao Dan was both shocked and furious, immediately erecting a spiritual shield to forcefully block the talisman. However, it was clear to everyone that Yao Dan’s spiritual shield had been damaged as soon as it met the energy contained within the talisman.

That served to show off the power of the Purple Lightning Talisman. Without Yao Dan’s protection, at least half of the Qingzhou Sword Sect disciples present would have been killed or injured!

Only those at the 12th stage of the Qi Refining Realm would be able to defend against it.

”You can’t turn the tide even if you have a peak-grade Purple Lightning Talisman.” The Spirit Void Sect’s Sect Master frowned. “Abbess Zhu Ye, who’s this man?”

Just as her words left her lips, everyone saw a brilliant flash of silver pass by, and Yao Dan’s spiritual shield shattered. The silver light crisscrossed over his body. Each strike drew forth a gush of blood, spraying the earth.

Yao Dan stared at Fang Chen in disbelief. The next second, he hacked out a mouthful of blood.

Thirty-six holes could be seen all over his frame.

The Sect Leader of the Spirit Void Sect was stunned, and the Master of the Flying Eagle Gate was equally astonished. Abbess Zhu Yue’s eyes gradually filled with disbelief as she stared blankly at Fang Chen.

”Grand Elder!” The cultivators of the Qingzhou Sword Sect were both shocked and enraged. They wanted to step forward to stop Fang Chen. However, they were also afraid of the sword that had effortlessly broken through Yao Dan’s defenses, so they could only stand in anger.

Little Sword flew back to Fang Chen’s side and floated quietly in the air in front of him.

”Who... are you...?” With each word Yao Dan spoke, he spat out more blood, his eyes filled with shock, resentment, and confusion as he stared fixedly at Fang Chen.

Fang Chen ignored Yao Dan and turned to Zhu Yue. ”Abbess Zhu Yue, I thought the Qingzhou Sword Sect practices swordsmanship. It seems like they don’t?”

The expressions of the crowd changed drastically, especially when they recalled Fang Chen easily injuring Yao Dan, who was at the Foundation Building Realm. A terrifying thought surged from the depths of their hearts. Could he be a sword cultivator?!

”Although the Qingzhou Sword Sect focuses on swordsmanship... They are not sword cultivators. We don’t have a sword cultivation lineage in the Flame Empire...” Abbess Zhu Yue looked at Fang Chen, her shock still hadn’t waned.

She recalled the day when a projection of Fang Chen’s master appeared, and she remembered the special abilities Fang Chen had, and it all suddenly fell into place. Fang Chen had to have inherited a sword cultivation legacy! Not to mention, behind Fang Chen stood another, more powerful sword cultivator!

”He’s actually a sword cultivator!”

”Where did Zhu Yue meet him?”

The Sect Leader of the Spirit Void Sect and the Master of the Flying Eagle Gate looked at each other in shock.

”So he’s a sword cultivator....”

Sighing, Fang Chen turned to Yao Dan. ”How dare you try and steal the Purple Lightning Talisman inheritance I’ve given to Qing He with your measly strength?”

He... was the one who gave Qing He the Purple Lightning Talisman inheritance?!

Yao Dan, the Sect Leader of the Spirit Void Sect, the Master of the Flying Eagle Gate, and the others were all too shocked to speak. Their minds were racing wildly. They had long since turned ashen from fright.

A sword cultivator, the Purple Lightning Talisman Legacy....

Everything pointed toward the fact that this person had an extremely impressive background! Even the Southern Heavenly Sect and the Spirit Beast Valley would find it hard to compare...

The Purple Lightning Talisman alone was a rare inheritance in the Flame Empire. In fact, not to mention the sixth-tier Flame Empire, even in fifth-tier empires, this was still incredibly rare. They had heard that only fourth-tier empires had sects with relatively complete talisman inheritance, among which was the Purple Lightning Talisman.

As for sword cultivation, that was also very rare. Even in all the sixth-tier empires, there were only a handful of sword cultivators.

For these two kinds of inheritances to converge in one person, it was obvious to anyone with a little insight that this person had an extraordinary background. Not to mention that he had apparently easily gifted the Purple Lightning Talisman inheritance to someone else!

That could only mean that the opponent possessed an even stronger and more terrifying inheritance! It might be that he didn’t even care about the Purple Lightning Talisman inheritance at all!

Yao Dan suddenly felt stifled, and he could hardly breathe anymore, almost choking on the air. This heavy feeling in his chest caused his injuries to flare.

”I have eyes but fail to see...” said Yao Dan bitterly.

As he spoke, Little Sword turned into a silver light before it stabbed into Yao Dan’s eyes.

”Since you have eyes but fail to see, then there’s no reason for you to keep them,” said Fang Chen offhandedly.

The disciples of the Qingzhou Sword Sect witnessed the scene, feeling too angry to speak. Yao Dan was an expert at the Foundation Building Realm yet even he couldn’t escape what happened to him today. Each of them felt a chill in their hearts.

So Foundation Building Realm cultivators weren’t really invincible....

Facing a stronger opponent, they were just as weak as ants!

Abbess Zhu Yue sighed deeply. ”To think that he had grown so much stronger in this short period, to the point where he could even kill Foundation Building Realm cultivators now.”

Back in Grand Xia, when they had faced the Foundation Building Realm cultivator from the Spirit Blood Sect, Fang Chen had only been able to rely on his Purple Lightning Talisman Legacy to help them. If he had been this powerful back then, the Spirit Blood Sect might’ve sustained heavy injuries from the very first exchange!

Instead of being angry, Yao Dan begged for mercy. ”Please spare my life, friend!”

”What do you think, Zhu Ye? ” asked Fang Chen.

”Even if we let him live, he won’t feel grateful. He’ll even hold a grudge against us. This is just how cultivators are,” she replied.

Fang Chen nodded. ”Let’s kill him then.”

Suddenly, Yao Dan’s head tilted back with a powerful jerk. A bloody hole had appeared in the center of his eyebrows, penetrating from his forehead to the back of his head, with pinkish-white matter slowly flowing out.

Puff!

Another hole appeared on Yao Dan’s skull.

Puff!

A hole appeared in Yao Dan’s chest, flowing with blood.

Yao Dan’s life had been completely extinguished, dead beyond recall.

Qing He saw Yao Dan’s soul leave his body. The soul appeared rather confused and befuddled after it came out, but shortly after, it seemed to have remembered what had transpired and it turned to stare at Fang Chen with resentment.

Qing He didn’t warn Fang Chen or make a move, as she knew that these souls couldn’t linger in the mortal realm for long, nor could they pose any threat to cultivators. At least that’s how the ghosts she had encountered were.

Little Sword returned to Fang Chen’s side. ”I’m so hungry! I just killed a Foundation Building Realm cultivator,” it moaned. “Big Brother, can I have something to eat?”

”Didn’t I just feed you those treasures from the Bai Family!” said Fang Chen, exasperated.

”But I’m still so hungry! I just want to keep eating so I can become stronger and stronger. I’m too weak right now.”

Fang Chen sighed. ”There will be bread, there will be milk, it just takes a little time. Can you be patient?”

Meanwhile, a series of screams echoed as Abbess Zhu Yue slaughtered the remaining Qingzhou Sword Sect disciples

Now, only the Spirit Void Sect Leader and the Master Eagle Soaring Gate were still standing. Stealing glances at Fang Chen, both felt ashamed. They couldn’t help but feel dreadful.
