Chapter 465 (2/2)

“Take a seat,” Phantom Knight said, “We have an intruder.”

“Intruder?” The Enraged Lion sneered, “There really are people who aren’t afraid of death. Is it an intentional act?”

“It should be, and he is very powerful. He has already broken through the second external defense.” The Phantom Knight said, “Wait. He has broken through the third external defense as well.” He frowned and added, “He’s too fast. Something isn’t right. Let me take a look with the Phantom Mirror.”

The Phantom Knight came from a sect known as the Phantom Congregation. The entire Phantom Congregation had been taken over by the First Prince, and the members had all stationed themselves in this base in the desert.

As such, the Phantom Knight had set up a Phantom Barrier over the entire desert base, so he could monitor the situation in many locations at any time.

As he formed signs with his hands, there seemed to be water ripples moving in the air, slowly forming a mirror made of water. It reflected the scene that was in the distance.

In the mirror, Fang Xingjian was strolling around, as if he was taking a walk along the streets. Occasionally, sword light would slash out, cutting through a layer of barrier, and he would continued to walk deeper into the base. Soon after, a group of Knights came to attack him. However, as Fang Xingjian flickered about, the group of Knights dropped to the ground.

“This guy is…” The Phantom Knight looked at the scene in the mirror, feeling a little perplexed.

However, Hildebrand shouted loudly, “It’s Fang Xingjian! How can it be him? How did he get here?”

The Phantom Knight tilted his head and watched as the layers of the base’s defense barriers continued getting destroyed by Fang Xingjian. Then he said coldly, “Fang Xingjian? Isn’t he at the Great Western Region? Heng Tianxiao and the others should have gone to deal with him.”

“Could it be that they missed each other?” The Enraged Lion broke into a grin. “But how could he have found his way here? It can’t possibly be that Fang Xingjian defeated Heng Tianxiao and the others, and then forced the location of the base out from them, right?”

“That’s impossible,” Hildebrand said. “The Supreme Chief is a Demigod who has attained two tiers of perfection, and Grandfather is a Demigod who has attained one tier of perfection. Although the Darkness Demon Lord is a little bit weaker than them, with the help of the Ten Directional Hell’s Flag, he’ll also be comparable to a Demigod who has attained one tier of perfection when he activates the Death Dominion. With the three of them joining forces to suppress Fang Xingjian, how could they possibly be defeated?

“Based on our information, the highest estimation of Fang Xingjian’s abilities is only at one tier of perfection.”

“In that case, the situation does certainly seem strange.” The Enraged Lion lifted his head, looked at the mirror image of Fang Xingjian, and said, “We’ll probably have to ask this kid to find out.”

“There’s no hurry,” the Phantom Knight said. “The barriers from the fourth defense barrier onward are all enhanced with Netherworld Field and superalloy. Even if he breaks through them, it would take a very long time. Let’s just have a look at this genius’ abilities for now.”

The Netherworld Field was a barrier the First Prince himself had personally set up over the entire base. It had a powerful defense and could absorb as well as transfer most attacks. The closer it was to the core, the stronger the defense would be. It could be said that one level would be even stronger and more amazing than the one before it.

Just as the Phantom Knight said this, Fang Xingjian had already arrived before a large closed metal door. This was the fourth defense barrier which was enhanced with the Netherworld Field and had been made from superalloy invented under the First Prince’s influence.

Its toughness was comparable to that of a level 25 Superior Divine Weapon, and the walls had a thickness of ten meters. This barrier was said to be a stronghold that was hard to break through.

Even a Demigod would probably need to spend over ten minutes or even several hours before he could break through this layer.

Then after the fourth defense barrier, there were a total of five defense barriers which were even more amazing. It was clear how highly the First Prince regarded this desert base.

Then under everyone’s astonished gazes, as Fang Xingjian headed forward, there was sword light sweeping past the space one meter before him. Each stream of sword light slashed through physical particles while trembling at a frequency of over 10,000 times per second. The beams of sword light forcefully slashed through streams of heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces which were connecting physical particles together.

He got through the ten-meter-thick defense barrier slowly like he was passing through a layer of tofu.

Faint yellow light from the Netherworld Field flashed continuously, wanting to resist against the sword light. However, it was unable to succeed, and it was easily crushed like glass.

Looking at how Fang Xingjian had broken through the fourth layer of defense so easily, the countenances of everyone in the command post turned grim.
