Chapter 496: Rising Into The Air

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations“Xingjian, there’s still no news from the Federation.”

Fang Yuehe looked at Fang Xingjian’s back and had a vague feeling as if a longsword was suddenly pressing against his body. Even his entire face felt a slight piercing pain.

Hearing Fang Yuehe’s words, the killing intent in Fang Xingjian’s eyes grew increasingly stronger.

Based on what Fang Qian had previously said, in another one to two days Li Shuanghua and the others would get started on refining the Divine Weapon. However, the Federation had been stalling for time.

After one day and one night, having fought three times, the Federation had yet to completely admit the situation. They even felt as if they had been lucky for pulling through the encounters, and viewed themselves with an air of superiority of being the number one influence on Earth. This made Fang Xingjian’s killing intent grow increasingly stronger.

“I gave you a way out, but you’re pushing the limits.”

The next instant, as Fang Xingjian activated the sword of Infiltrating Void, he had completely disappeared.

Fang Xingjian had found out the location of the Planetary Defense’s headquarters in Demonic City long ago. This time around, he did not plan on holding back anymore, bent on leaving a massacre behind him. This was so that the Federation’s upper echelon would not think that they could continue to stall for time and that they were still able to stand up for Li Shuanghua.

Standing in midair, Fang Xingjian looked at the headquarters, which took up several hundred thousands of square meters. The entire Planetary Defense’s headquarters seemed to be as big as a University campus. Countless people were patrolling about, and various weaponry and machinery were all being prepared. Fang Xingjian could even see five to six fighter aircrafts occasionally flying through the air.

‘I’m still too naive. I thought that my performance this far, having fought three consecutive times, was sufficient to astonish the Federation.

‘I guess I haven’t been vicious enough and this led them to think that they could maintain a neutral stand or even to subdue me.

‘This time around, I must make sure that blood will flow.’

Fang Xingjian wanted to let the entire Federation know that if they did not give up on Li Shuanghua immediately, the entire Federation, the entire Earth would be faced with an unbearable and tremendous loss.

And him, Fang Xingjian, was worth a lot more than Li Shuanghua.

With a dash, Fang Xingjian, from within spatial gaps, entered over 100 meters underground. Countless sword forces that could cut down mountains and slash through rocks exploded underground, slicing through.

In a mere few minutes, Fang Xingjian had used his sword force to forcibly cut through the ground around the headquarters and to loosen up the soil, forming an oval shape. He had weakened the connection between the headquarters and the ground, and had even completely destroyed their underground defenses.

In the command post, sensing the endless tremors under his feet, the Flame Demon stood up, “What’s wrong? Is there an earthquake?”

However, thinking about it, he felt that it did not make any sense. This area in Demonic City was not on the seismic belt. How could there possibly be an earthquake?

However, the tremors under his feet grew increasingly intense and even buildings were starting to sink down slightly. Everyone started to feel that something was amiss.

The Flame Demon bellowed, “Send someone to investigate what on earth is going on!”

Almost everyone in the headquarters was mobilized as they tried to find out the reason for the tremors. However, they could not find any reason. All they knew was that the ground under their headquarters continued to tremor ceaselessly. There were even infrastructures sinking, and large areas of cracks were appearing in the ground.

All the buildings that were a street away were totally unscathed.

Hearing his subordinates’ reports, sensing the endless tremors coming from under his feet, the Flame Demon frowned deeply. He looked at his younger brother worriedly and asked, “Shan Kong, do you think that Fang Xingjian’s the one creating trouble underground?”

“Fang Xingjian?” Shan Kong seemed totally unconcerned. “Is he trying to dig underground and bring down our buildings?

“If he can even bring himself to do something so despicable, then I’ve really overestimated him.”
