Chapter 285 (2/2)

Having just crawled out, Ronan’s limbs were all weak. His reception of the ether particles was messed up. Additionally, his Heaven’s Perception was like a television which had lost its connection. There was nothing but illegible characters flashing before him.

This was happening because a large amount of his physical strength and energy had been depleted, causing him to feel faint. Naturally, he was not able to keep his Heaven’s Perception activated either.

However, when he lifted his head, he saw Fang Xingjian standing there, not covered in a hint of of dust. Fang Xingjian was just standing there as if nothing had happened.

The Demoness’ Howl in Fang Xingjian’s hand was already starting to shatter, but he was not concerned about it in the least. Throwing out force to the side with his palm, the Mountain Shifting Sword was activated.

The earth continued to be pressed together, and just like squeezing out a pimple, it pushed out a rock spike and sent it into his hand.

Fang Xingjian casually picked up the longsword formed by the rock spike. With his Swordless Path specialty activated, Fang Xingjian now had another level 19 Inferior Divine Weapon in his hand.

He stroked the sword, looked at Ronan calmly and asked, “To be able to survive despite receiving an attack by my Terra Ingurgitation… Your Mountain Shifting Sword has truly reached a high level. In terms of both strength and resistance, it’s extremely powerful.

“However, I still have my Boundaries Negation and can battle at ten times that of supersonic speed. Now that we’ve competed in terms of power, do you want to have another go at competing with our speed?”

Ronan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to be unyielding and reply to Fang Xingjian. However, he looked at Fang Xingjian, who appeared extremely calm and was still spotlessly clean. He then looked at the entire stretch of valleys to see that there was nothing left.

Or rather than saying there was nothing left, it could be said that the fight between Ronan and Fang Xingjian had caused the entire stretch of valleys to collapse. This collapse then transformed the stretch of valleys into a large crater filled with shattered rocks and soil.

Seeing how Ronan seemed like he wanted to talk but no words were coming out of his mouth, Fang Xingjian shook his head and released his grip. The rock spike fell from his hand and shattered into countless small stones, scattering away in the wind.

“You’ve lost your guts, and your determination is gone. Even if you were to use the Mountain Shifting Sword now, you won’t be able to display even 30% of its profoundness. There’s no point in me attacking anymore.

“But you must remember the lesson you’ve learnt today. You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever’s on your mind. The next time I find you that you’ve slandered me, I’ll kill you with my sword.”

With that, Fang Xingjian turned and departed, leaving behind a cool back view for Ronan to see.

Which Conferred Knight would be able to accept being stomped upon and taught a lesson? Reality was not a novel. There was no such thing as having a scenario where friendship blossomed from a fight or where a person would be full of admiration and seek guidance humbly after being defeated.

After being defeated, the normal thing was for the person to put in even more effort in their training, hold their anger in, and desire to take the win back at a later time.

‘Fang Xingjian, you better not fall into my hands!’ Ronan glared at Fang Xingjian for a while before he also turned to leave, limping as he headed out of the hall.

Fang Xingjian walked to Rota and asked, “Are you alright?”

Rota and the other two students were covered in dust. Although the three of them were not the targets of the attacks, just the repercussions from the attacks had already been hard for them to deal with. If they had not reacted quickly… and if it had not been for the fact that the two students were Conferred Knights who had even tried to help Rota a little bit, Rota would have sustained heavy injuries.

As Fang Xingjian walked over, the two students retreated unconsciously, as if some ferocious beast had charged over.

Rota shook her head and looked at Fang Xingjian with a strange gaze. “This is the move you learned from the Pantheon Monument? It’s called Terra Ingurgitation? It’s really amazing.”

This was the third time she had seen Fang Xingjian performed the Terra Ingurgitation. However, no matter how many times she had seen it, she still felt extremely exhilarated.

“This kind of force exertion, this brutality… This move must be the extreme limits of great power.”

However, Fang Xingjian shook his head and said, “This is just the tip of the iceberg. Come, let’s go to check out the next stage.”
