Many black lines circle around Fang Xingjian continuously. Each time a black line got near, it would trigger the light spots surrounding him into releasing an extremely bright light. That was the defense form of the Zenith Light Sword Formation.

Regardless of the attacks Fang Xingjian was faced with, the six light spots would unleash streams of light swords explosively to cut through, pierce, or sweep away the attacks. The light spots vaporized all the surrounding physical objects around Fang Xingjian, protecting him like six shields of light.

If Sasa charged over personally, he would sense the flash of waves in the sky. The Ether Sword Ripples would then assault him and send him flying again.

The expression on Sasa’s face grew increasingly sinister, filled with killing intent. His actions were so fast that it was as if they had turned into many black lines, incessantly tearing through the air and circling Fang Xingjian, who remained seated cross-legged on the ground as they attacked.

Under the full-power attacks of the level 29 Conferred Knight, which were either surges of invisible sword Qis or physical clashes with his maniacal sword techniques, the series of quick attacks was heaven and earth shaking. With each clash, explosive pressure, and fierce attack exerted, the ground would tremor furiously as sand and rocks were sent flying.

The repercussions from the shock waves shot out time and time again. Other than Fang Xingjian and the small piece of land under him which was now floating in the air, the entire ground was bashed up by Sasa to form a great valley.

With another tap of his hand, the whizzing sword Qis collided fiercely against ten streams of Ether Sword Ripples. Surging force compressed the air, and the forces produced from their collision exploded in midair. It was as if several tens of thousand kilograms of explosives had exploded. Countless amounts of rock and soil were sent flying into the sky, once again increasing the depth of the valley under Fang Xingjian.

“Damn it!” Sasa abruptly came to a stop. The muscles and bones throughout his body were boiling as if they were cooked through. Taking in a breath, countless ether particles in the universe completed the energy exchange with his body.

Various radiations, light waves, magnetic waves, and other forces in the air dashed into his body, replenishing his powers at an astonishing rate.

However, as Sasa looked at Fang Xingjian who was sitting on a floating piece of land, the killing intent in his eyes grew increasingly violent.

Fang Xingjian was flushed red all over, and his muscles, tendons and bones would pop up every now and then, before being pushed back.

Puffs of white steam continued to rise from the surface of Fang Xingjian’s body. Sasa knew that it was because his body was circulating at a rapid speed, and every single cell in his body was likely moving incessantly to release heat.

‘He is fully focused on suppressing the will in the Divine blood. Once he succeeds in doing that, he’ll be able to absorb the essence in the Divine blood.

‘To think that he dares to do something like this before me.’ Recalling Fang Xingjian’s defensive means earlier, Sasa laughed coldly to himself, ‘I don’t believe that you’ll be able to continue blocking like this. At the very least, I also have the ether organs I got at level 28. Will I be unable to win against you in a competition of power?’

Sasa’s judgement was right. Putting the Zenith Light Sword Formation aside and looking just at the Ether Sword Ripples, even with Fang Xingjian’s current rapid rate of improvement in his abilities, he was only able to release 5,000 sword ripples. Once Sasa managed to get through all of them, it would be impossible for Fang Xingjian to fend off Sasa with just the Zenith Light Sword Formation alone.

Sasa gritted his teeth and put his palms together. Many invisible sword Qis soon started to form from his body, turning into a longsword which soared into the air in the blink of an eye as it continued to extend longer.

‘I shall see if you’ll first suppress the Divine blood or I’ll be the one to beat you up into a pulp.’

Just as Sasa was about to attack at full-power once again, a fiery meteor streaked across the sky. It was Yaris who had been chasing them all the way since back at the Regional Academy. Flames burst out from all over his body as he came to a stop in the sky above Sasa.

“Sasa, you’ve caused damage to the academy as well as chased and assaulted a student. Are you really thinking of going against the entire Great Western Region? If you stop right now, I can show you leniency on the account that it hasn’t been easy for you to attain the cultivation you have reached today.”

Sasa laughed out loud, looked at Yaris, and said, “Yaris, are you thinking of delaying time with just these words alone? If Devitt comes over personally, I’ll leave immediately. But as for you… you’re still inadequate.”

While Sasa spoke, the invisible sword Qis he created turned into a translucent longsword of 100 meters in length. With an overwhelming aura, it slashed down fiercely toward Fang Xingjian directly.
