Chapter 191: Kidnap

Just as Fang Xingjian was talking and walking toward Kaunitz’s room, Headmaster Jackson finally could no longer hold it in and appeared at the main entrance.

“Xingjian, enough. Do you really want to blow up the matter until it has reached a point of no return?” Jackson’s expression was calm as he looked at everything that had happened, secretly feeling astonished at the rate of Fang Xingjian’s progress.

‘Even I was not able to clearly see the series of attacks in that single second with my naked eye. Now, if Fang Xingjian doesn’t enter my Reduced Force Field, I probably won’t be able to see his movements clearly.’

Ten times that of supersonic speed was so fast that it could no longer be seen by the naked eye. Not even Jackson, at second transition level 26, could break through such physical restrictions.

However, if it was within his Reduced Force Field, then Fang Xingjian’s actions would appear very clear to him. It was because no matter how fast Fang Xingjian was, he would not be able to compete with the speed at which waves like the ether particles transmit at. They transmit at a speed of light just like electromagnetic waves.

Moreover, Headmaster Jackson’s second transition job, the Tyrant Fist of the Azure Skies, had a Reduced Force Field reaching out to three hundred meters. This meant that he could see everything clearly as long as it was within the three hundred meter range.

Therefore, the moment he stepped through the door, he had already grasped the situation within a three hundred meter radius. Then, with a change in his expression, he dashed out, heading for Kaunitz’s room, accompanied by a long whistle and an impact wave.

Kaunitz was already nowhere to be found. All that was left was a big hole in the middle of the room. Kaunitz, who was in a frail state, had obviously been abducted.

The Tresia Clan’s clan head also panicked when he saw how Headmaster Jackson had reacted. He stumbled in after him and was astonished by the scene in the room, “What is going on? Where is Kaunitz?”

“Did you guys really think that during this period of my disappearance, I had done nothing at all?” Fang Xingjian saw that the two of them had simultaneously turned over in his direction. With one step, he leapt and stood more than three hundred meters away from them, leaving Jackson’s Reduced Force Field.

Eyelids drooping, he held onto Demoness’ Howl, as if he were a dancer in the darkness, giving people the feeling that he would disappear before your eyes at any time.

Jackson knew that this was Fang Xingjian’s speed. His speed had reached extreme limits and his will had moved even before his body had. Thus, this gave others the feeling that he was moving yet motionless, as if he would disappear at any time.

However, at this moment, this was not what he was concerned with. He was more concerned about what Fang Xingjian had just said. This meant that the big hole in Kaunitz’s room had been dug by Fang Xingjian.

It turned out that Fang Xingjian knew that Jackson and the others would be protecting Kaunitz. If they were to protect him openly, then he would just appear from the underground passageway, releasing hundreds of Ether Sword Ripples at once, using Ether Sword Ripples, which were at ten times that of supersonic speed, to turn Kaunitz into mush.

If he were to do this, he would naturally be going against the Second Prince and his faction and would need to flee with all his might.

But if it was another situation and the Conferred Knights, on account of their status, did not stay next to Kaunitz to protect him, then he would step out to attract everyone’s attention while letting Robert and Anthony dash into the room to abduct Kaunitz.

Without killing Kaunitz in front of everyone, even if they knew that the odds were against Kaunitz, the contradictions they have between them would not burst out immediately. To Fang Xingjian, this was the best possible scenario.

Otherwise, if he were to kill Kaunitz before everyone, he would incur the wrath of the few Conferred Knights.

Although Fang Xingjian was very vicious, he was not foolish. If he had lacked wisdom and tact, not being able to differentiate between foolishness and courage, how could he have completed the first transition, sensed the ether particles, and cultivated up to a hundred sets of sword techniques?

Although Jackson did not manage to guess Fang Xingjian’s plot immediately, he could vaguely guess what had happened. Looking at the hole, he said, “To be able to dig such a big hole without being noticed in just a few hours… Xingjian, seems like your sword arts have been brought to a higher level yet again.”

Fang Xingjian did not say anything. With the level 9 Divine Weapon Demoness’ Howl in his hand and enhancement from the Unparalleled Sword Intent – Apex, he was at a level at where he could cut through Empire’s Divine Weapons. For him, cutting through the ground and silently creating a passageway was just too simple.
