Chapter 364: 356
Fang Ren tried to gather the Empty Ming Sword to block, but the gap between his and Fang Yun Zhong\'s realms was simply too vast. He didn\'t even have time to form the Empty Ming Sword before he was slapped away.
In an instant, Fang Ren\'s body streamed with blood, and countless bones were shattered.
"Ah Ran!"
Mu Huanqing hurriedly flew over upon seeing this.
When Fang Ren saw her coming, he quickly said, "Stay back! I can\'t die yet!"
Having said that, he immediately leaped back to his original position.
But when he returned, the soldiers of Tianjiang, the major war zones, the Nightfall Organization, and the Nine Heavens Corps were all ready to surge forward once again.
Fang Ren hurriedly activated his cultivation technique and slashed with his sword in front of everyone, sending dust and debris flying into the air.
"All of you bastards, back off! Stop messing around!"
After cursing at the soldiers in the sky, Fang Ren charged alone towards Fang Yun Zhong.
His wounds did not make him fearful; they only heightened his will to fight. A red glow covered his body. Without a weapon at hand, he felt something was missing.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was the eldest young master of the Fang Family thinking?
Engaging in a one-on-one duel with Fang Yun Zhong?
Even with all of them combined, they might not stand a chance, let alone one-on-one!
"Great-grandson, I won\'t hold back with this next slap," Fang Yun Zhong said when he saw Fang Ren daring to come back. He immediately slapped towards Fang Ren again.
This time Fang Ren was prepared. The moment Fang Yun Zhong made his move, Fang Ren used the Space Power to form a blade behind Fang Yun Zhong, aiming a stab at the back of his head.
Fang Yun Zhong retracted his palm and casually slapped towards the back of his head, shattering the blade instantly.
Seeing Fang Yun Zhong effortlessly break his blade, Fang Ren\'s composure began to falter.
He was standing in front of Fang Yun Zhong, yet he formed a blade behind him across the distance and timed it specifically for when Fang Yun Zhong made a move—an ambush from behind. Read the latest on mvl
Who would have known that even in a state of utmost confidence, Fang Yun Zhong was always guarding against his surroundings.
"An interesting cultivation technique. If you were at the same realm as I am, I would definitely have been unable to defend in time. Sadly, you have not accepted the Void\'s power and will never be able to contend with me," said Fang Yun Zhong with a touch of regret in his tone.
"Don\'t speak too soon," replied Fang Ren. He originally didn\'t want to engage in a war of words, but he had no choice; he really couldn\'t beat the old man. To ensure the lives of more people from Tianjiang, stalling was more critical.
"Have you seen that tree on the sea?" Fang Ren entered Oscar Actor Mode, looking at him with disdain and continued, "If I let it fight you, you would have been torn to shreds by now."
Well, when it is time to bluff, one must do it convincingly.
In fact, he could now sense very clearly that the connection between him and Qianye was extremely weak. It was likely because Qianye had exhausted all its energy after annihilating the Void Beast Group.
Upon hearing about the giant tree on the sea, Fang Yun Zhong did show some concern, but he was no fool. If Fang Ren could still use that Giant Dragon like he did on the battlefield, destroying everything, he would have already done so. Why wait until now?
"Your Spirit Form is indeed strong, but sadly, after I kill you, I will find my own way to incorporate it into me," Fang Yun Zhong declared, his arm shining with purple light, ready to finish Fang Ren with a single strike.
This strike was impossible for Fang Ren to dodge.
Yet Fang Ren was still trash-talking, "You\'d better be careful, maybe the moment you make your move, a tree branch will fly up and whack your head off!"
"Go to hell!"
As Fang Yun Zhong made his move, he took extra care to watch his surroundings, but this didn\'t affect the outcome of his strike.
Boom——
A surge of purple light, even more fierce than the light column spewed by the giant dragon on yesterday\'s battlefield, rushed forward.
Fang Ren\'s figure was instantly swallowed by the purple glow, his body destroyed in an instant, vanishing without even a drop of blood remaining.
But in the eyes of the Tianjiang warriors, Fang Ren simply vanished into thin air, possibly using some cultivation technique they hadn\'t seen before. If Fang Ren had been killed, at least a drop of blood would have remained in the sky, or perhaps a piece of torn clothing.
This time nothing was left behind, which was very different from the last time when Fang Ren was killed by the dragon.
"Ha! And I thought that giant tree could actually do something to me!"
Seeing that he had completely killed Fang Ren and that there was still no movement from the distant sea, Fang Yun Zhong couldn\'t help but break into a maniacal laugh.
"Old man, that didn\'t work either, huh."
Suddenly a voice came from the far horizon.
Fang Yun Zhong was startled and turned to look into the distance, only to see Fang Ren standing in mid-air, completely unharmed, even the blood that had been flowing from his body after a slap had disappeared.
"How is this possible! You clearly were killed by me!"
Fang Yun Zhong\'s eyebrows furrowed, unable to fathom how Fang Ren could have come back to life.
"If I had really died, do you think my Spirit Form would be vegetarian? It would have torn you to shreds long ago!" Fang Ren continued to trash-talk.
Although he was outwardly calm as an old dog, his heart was freaking out.
Because he really had just died under that purple light, but to be precise, it wasn\'t a complete death; only his body had died, but his soul was still alive.
The reason he could still stand here was because of that so-called divine space, which contained billions of his bodies.
As soon as his body was destroyed here, that divine space would throw out another body to ensure the integrity of this chosen one.
So he rushed over from a distance because his body would only appear on that same small ruins he had returned to before.
Fortunately, those small ruins weren\'t too far from here, and it was just a matter of five or six seconds at his full flight speed.
"I don\'t believe it!"
Fang Yun Zhong\'s figure flashed and he appeared right in front of Fang Ren, reaching out to grasp Fang Ren\'s neck. He wanted to kill Fang Ren with his own hands, he just didn\'t believe that Fang Ren could still be alive if killed this way?
Buzz——
However, just as he reached out to grab Fang Ren\'s neck, a silver light shot from the distant sun straight toward Earth.
Fang Yun Zhong\'s outstretched arm suddenly broke, and black blood began to gush from within, yet his face remained blank with no sign of pain.
Fang Yun Zhong looked up at the sky, unable to understand where the silver light had come from.
Even light from the sun to Earth takes time, so what could possibly be many times faster than light?
Fang Ren, too, looked upward at the sky, a bewildered expression on his face, but he quickly became exasperated.
"Fuck! You had this ability and you didn\'t say so earlier!"
Fang Ren felt that all the things he had done to buy time earlier suddenly seemed incredibly foolish.
