Chapter 344 Tear Apart
In the last 0.2 seconds to the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent, Sally had already dashed right up to Fang Xingjian. Under Heaven’s Perception, everything about Sally was displayed to Fang Xingjian. He could see her body structure, the secrets to her lineage, the light wings which she had been able to reform at level 25 thanks to her lineage, the burning fury in her mind, and even some of the scenes which Sally would experience in the future.
Layers of light swords turned into a net and came down, enveloping Fang Xingjian. However, Fang Xingjian’s right hand was like a sharp sword, piercing through the light net. It passed through all the gaps in the light net and then grabbed onto Sally’s throat mercilessly.
Sally who had charged forward at full speed only felt that a tremendous strength was suppressing her neck and causing her entire body to instantly become motionless.
After moving a few centimeters, she came to a stop from over ten times that of supersonic speed. How great was the opposing force required to accomplish this? It had completely surpassed the level which Sally could handle. She felt that her entire body seemed like it had been knocked by a huge mountain.
The positions of her organs shifted a lot, and her blood vessels exploded like burst water pipes. The worst thing was that under the huge impact, her brain knocked against her skull, giving her a great concussion and driving her consciousness into disorder. She was completely unable to react to what was happening.
In the next moment, 12 streams of Ether Sword Ripples swept out, chopping off Sally’s four limbs. Blood gushed out from her wounds like flowing water, turning her surroundings into a pool of blood.
It was only at this moment that the explosion of the Heaven’s Volition Sword Intent slowly began to end. After dissipating, it then curled up once again and returned to the center of Fang Xingjian’s consciousness, surrounded by all the other skill seeds.
That earlier feeling of omniscience and being able to see through everything disappeared from Fang Xingjian’s body. The great disparity stimulated Fang Xingjian’s consciousness continuously.
‘Divine level?
‘No, it only allowed me to have a portion of a level 29 Conferred Knight’s powers.
‘But… it is really strong.
‘Teacher James, Sword Saint, First Prince… The powers that they have are this overwhelming—no, much more than this?’
Fang Xingjian swept a glance at the dizzy Sally and tossed her to the ground like she was some kind of rubbish.
Throwing a glance to the side, he noticed that Rakshasi, who was a distance away, was staring at him. When Rakshasi saw Fang Xingjian looking toward her, her expression turned into that of horror. However, she was suffering from heavy burns and could not move. She could not even escape, but her body continued to tremble non-stop.
Gao Tu continued to hold up the rock sword, which was like a small mountain and had dropped down on him from the skies. His eyes were tightly shut, like he was a statue. In actuality, at this moment, he was no longer breathing, having died from expending all of his strength.
Sally trembled as she lifted her head to look at Fang Xingjian. The backlash from earlier had caused all the blood vessels throughout her body to burst, and although they were now healing, fresh blood continued to flow out from her eye sockets, nose, mouth, and ears.
Putting in great effort take a look at the surrounding situation, Sally trembled as she opened her mouth to say, “What are you doing? What on earth have you done?! You’ve killed three Conferred Knights!”
Fang Xingjian looked at Sally, whose limbs had been cut off and were barely keeping up with the regeneration and healing. She was still suffering from a concussion, and it was to the extent that she was not even able to keep up her Waves and mental cultivation method. As Fang Xingjian looked down at her, he said nonchalantly, “I killed them because I wanted to. Woman, if it was not because of your identity, you’d be dead as well. You’re quite strong. Your bones can be used to make a good set of armor.”
“Demon… Unforgivable!”
Sally shouted and opened her eyes wide, sending out two white high energy light beams which then encompassed Fang Xingjian’s head.
However, Fang Xingjian’s head was still protected by the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor’s helmet. He merely felt a slight warmth but did not receive any damage.
It was true that Sally was very powerful. She could move instantly between the gaps in space. She also had various sword techniques using light speeds and high temperatures, as well as a pair of light wings which could absorb energy from ether particles endlessly.
After being shot, Fang Xingjian kicked Sally’s face, smashing it up while sending her flying over 100 meters away. Sally smashed through a huge boulder and rolled over ten rounds before she came to a stop.
Sally bellowed furiously, “Kill me! If you don’t, be it ten years or 100 years, I’ll definitely catch you!”
“Woman, didn’t anyone tell you that your character is very detestable?” Fang Xingjian stomped down on Sally’s back. While she was trying to stand up, he pushed her body back into the earth once again. She even took in large amount of soil and dust through her mouth.
“I saved your subordinate, chased away the assassin who had assaulted the house, and yet you came to annoy me time and time again.
“Do you really think that I won’t kill an arbitrator?”
Fang Xingjian stretched out his hand, grabbed one of her light wings, and tugged it strongly toward the rear.
“Ahhh!” Sally, who had the expression and determination of a Predator[1], was trembling as she let out a terrifying cry when her wings were pulled. It was clear that her light wings were her weakness.
However, Fang Xingjian’s earlier words rang in her mind, ‘What is this? What rubbish is he talking about?’
Fang Xingjian tugged with great strength and the light wing became distorted. Tremendous pain rang out in Sally’s head continuously, causing her to cry out in agony endlessly. It was a pity that even her entire head was being pressed down into the earth, so even though she continued to struggle on, she could only let out muffled sounds.
Fang Xingjian continued to say, “Arbitrator? You don’t even know anything. The Rebirth Sword Technique is a sword technique that will change the entire world, and you’re just a blade sent by those in the upper echelons who are afraid of changes, as well as decadents who have been blinded by their self-interests.
“If you want to know what the Rebirth Sword Technique is really like, won’t you know after practicing it for yourself?”
A soft chi sound rang out, and a crack appeared in Sally’s wings. Her expression immediately turned into a very hideous expression of extreme agony.
Under Fang Xingjian’s strong tugging, the entire light wing was torn off with a pfft sound. Sally trembled furiously, trying to struggle against him. For a moment, even Fang Xingjian was unable to suppress her. It was clear that this action was causing Sally extreme pain and agony.
Sally’s struggling finally came to a stop one minute later, but her breath suddenly became very weak.
Tossing the light wing on the ground, Fang Xingjian then headed in Rakshasi’s direction. “Arbitrator Sally, three days later, I’ll prove to you that there are no problems with the Rebirth Sword Technique. However, within this three days, if you were to do any more ridiculous things to disturb me…”
Fang Xingjian turned abruptly to meet the gaze of Sally who had lifted her head up. It was as if there was a clash in the air, making the air currents to be slightly turbulent.
Then Fang Xingjian continued, “If that’s the case, then the thing from earlier would be my final warning to you.”
With that, he continued to walk toward Rakshasi. Rakshasi slowly moved her body, saying weakly, “Don’t come over. Don’t get near me. Don’t come over…”
The scene of Fang Xingjian tearing off the light wing from earlier had clearly given her quite a shock.
Sally used great effort to raise up her palm. The bones there had just finished regenerating, and there were bits of muscles starting to grow out. She shouted out in a hoarse voice, “Wait, don’t go. Make yourself clear.”
However, Fang Xingjian lifted up Rakshasi, hoisted her over his shoulder, and left. Sally could only watch Fang Xingjian’s back as he gradually disappeared.
“Fang! Xing! Jian! Don’t you leave!
“Come back here!”
Her palms, which just had its muscles regenerated, now clench down toward the earth furiously. As she left behind a big clawing mark in the earth, the blood vessels near the newly regenerated muscles exploded, causing a pool of fresh blood to gush out.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Fang Xingjian really did turn back.
She saw him walking up to Gao Tu, and he then took away the corpse of that Conferred Knight with him.
“I almost forgot. A level 25 Conferred Knight is worth a lot of money.”
