Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 444: I Still Have One Sword

As Fang Chen advanced, the group of Golden Core Realm cultivators showed no reaction and focused fully on assisting the Kulong Battle General in refining the three Nascent Soul Realm. In their eyes, if Fang Tingjian, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm couldn’t harm them, and with the female sword cultivator being held back by Qian Wuji, what could a mere Qi Refining Realm cultivator do to them?

Fang Chen suddenly stopped. "Little Sword, are you ready?"

"Little Chen, make your move!" Little Sword's voice rang out eagerly.

In the next moment, a flash of sword light radiated from Fang Chen's hand, surging with profound sword intent, and attacked the nearest Golden Core Realm cultivator.

"What a profound sword intent!"

"Isn't Fang Chen's strongest technique the Five Element Controlling Technique?"

"No way! Does this mean that he has never revealed his true cards even while fighting against Jue Wudi!"

"This sword intent is on par with that female sword cultivator from earlier!"

"Sword cultivator! Fang Chen is a sword cultivator!"

Countless high-level cultivators exclaimed in shock. The members of the Fang Family and the imperial family looked at each other in disbelief.

In the crowd, Fang Mosheng and Fang Lingxing were hiding in the back. When they saw the power of his sword, this pair of father and daughter exchanged looks of shock.

"He's actually a sword cultivator..." Sui Nianhua muttered to herself, and several senior brothers beside her were also astonished.

Yan Ruyue was dumbfounded as she looked at the peasant woman. "Master, is Lord Fang really a sword cultivator?"

"Why should you be surprised? Is it strange for him to be a sword cultivator?" Zhang Xiaoke said with a smile.

"Third Brother... Fang Chen, he..."

The sixth princess looked shocked and glanced at Xia Ji subconsciously.

Xia Ji's face revealed a faint smile. "What's surprising? Is it that strange that he's a sword cultivator? There's no need to be surprised. In my eyes, anything can come out of him."

"Third Brother, why do you have so much confidence in Fang Chen? It was like this when we were young, and it's the same now...?"

The sixth princess finally voiced the long-standing confusion in her heart. She couldn't understand why Xia Ji had such a good relationship with Fang Chen and trusted him so much. In their youth, Fang Chen showed contempt for the royal family, often picking on royal family members. Xia Yu suffered the most from this, which was one of the reasons why she couldn't tolerate Fang Chen.

Xia Ji said softly with a light smile, "If you had more interactions with Fang Chen when you were young, you would know that he is knowledgeable and understands many principles. The truths he speaks of would also make you unable to resist being convinced."

Princess Liuxi was about to speak when she was suddenly drawn by bursts of exclamations.

"It's him! He was the one who killed the Golden Core Realm cultivators from the Spirit Blood Sect and saved us!"

"So it's Fang Chen! He can kill Golden Core Realm cultivators!"

Many cultivators grew excited as gratitude filled their eyes.

"What!? The death of the Golden Core Realm cultivators was Fang Chen's doing!?"

"How is that possible... he has been with us all this time...?"

"Everyone, it's indeed Fang Chen's doing. From the beginning, Fang Chen has not been with us. Have you forgotten how he suddenly appeared just now?" A member of the Fang Family spoke loudly.

The group of Fang Family’s disciples finally understood what Fang Chen had been up to when he had disappeared earlier. He had been assassinating the Spirit Blood Sect’s Golden Core Realm cultivators, and stabilizing the internal and external situation of the capital to delay the destruction of Great Qian.

Any one of these actions alone would be enough to shock people. These are things that many Golden Core Realm cultivators present couldn't accomplish as they were all trapped here and unable to move at all!

The sixth princess was shocked and speechless. "Fang Chen can actually kill Golden Core cultivators...."

Daoist Ya was both shocked and excited. "I never thought... that I would have connections with such a figure!"

"He was the one who killed the Golden Core Realm cultivators of the Blood Spirit Sect?! Doesn't that mean that when he faced me back then... he could have easily slain me with a single sword strike?" Sui Nianhua muttered to herself.

The expressions of the surrounding senior brothers turned strange. They hadn't expected that Fang Chen had shown them mercy back then. They had thought that Fang Chen had relied on his strong physique to win that battle.

"He said he wanted to resolve external threats, and he really did so...." Dongfang Haojie stared at Fang Chen, his arm trembling lightly. Fairy Tianyin looked a bit nervous and instinctively grabbed Dongfang Haojie's arm. "Who exactly is he?"

"I’m also in the dark," Dongfang Haojie said with a bitter smile.

At the same time, the Golden Core Realm cultivators who were facing off against Qian Wuji also sensed that sword intent.

Fang Wanli glanced at Fang Chen in amazement, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes. "This kid is following the path of sword cultivation!? Isn't that even more amazing than the previous ancestor, Tingyuan!?"

Immortal Tianwu was enlightened. "No wonder his physical body is so strong. Sword cultivators possess a sword body."

"The Sword Embryo!" The female sword cultivator looked toward Fang Chen and wanted to rush over instinctively, but Qian Wuji stopped her.

Damn it.

The Sword Embryo was indeed in Great Qian and was in the hands of that boy right in front of her! Unfortunately, with Qian Wuji blocking her, she can't be distracted!

The first move of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture

When that sword fell on the Golden Core Realm cultivator, it was similarly dissipated by the force surrounding the Kun Long Battle General. It posed no threat at all. Seeing that, everyone's heightened spirits immediately plummeted again.

Fairy Yu’s eyes dimmed slightly. "Is it not enough... is the Lord unable to reverse this situation as well?"

"Fang Chen, although you are a sword cultivator, your current cultivation level is too low. I fear you won't be able to hurt them." Fang Tingjian sighed lightly, then he looked at the boundless sky, "Perhaps if I self-destruct my Golden Core, I can blast open a path for you."

“Ancestor, there's no need. I still have one sword strike left,” Fang Chen said softly, shaking his head before closing his eyes. In his mind, he began to visualize the second move of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture

The anxious voice of Mirror of the Universe sounded. "Brother, you need to think this over carefully. With your current strength, even if you have immortal sword veins... it won't be able to sustain you after you use that sword. The consumption is too great! It will deplete your lifespan!"

Little Sword snapped back. "Shut up! If Fang Chen doesn't cut a path out today, both of us will be completely refined!"

"I won't be refined. At most, I'll change masters..." Mirror of the Universe muttered to himself. Then, his voice became resolute as if he was gritting his teeth. "Little Brother, go ahead! The lifespan consumed can be compensated for!"

Fang Chen no longer heard Mirror of the Universe's voice in his ear, and suddenly, everything around him became silent. Not even the slightest sound could enter his ears.

In this environment, Fang Chen's mind became clearer than everl, and his thoughts seemed to move several times faster. Unconsciously, his eyes began to show some golden patterns, resembling the meridians within his body.

Fang Chen hadn't planned to activate the Primordial Immortal Eyes, but as he prepared to unleash the second sword of the Eight Desolation Supreme Sword Scripture, the Priomordial Immortal Eyes activated on their own. At that moment, he felt like he could gain mastery of whichever technique he used.

So this is another effect of the Primordial Immortal Eyes....

Fang Chen sighed inwardly and then swung his sword toward the Golden Core Realm cultivator. The Golden Core Realm cultivator opened his eyes suddenly and looked at Fang Chen with a sneer.

That sword seemed unremarkable and was even less imposing than before.

However, a line of blood appeared on that Golden Core Realm cultivator's forehead and extended down to his lower body. Then, with the line of blood as the center, both sides of flesh and blood began to disappear rapidly. In just an instant, the Golden Core Realm cultivator disappeared without a trace....
