Chapter 605: Fist and SwordTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Lilia stood among the ladies, brimming with youth and beauty, and exuding great vitality. Even when standing amongst so many young ladies she could still be considered a rare beauty.

Of course, Xia would not let go of a beauty like her, especially when this pretty young lady was Fang Xingjian’s disciple. Therefore, this increased Xia’s desire to subjugate her.

However, just as he reached out his hand to grab at Lilia, a beam of piercing sword light exploded at the center of his forehead, just like a firework that had been set off in an instant. HIs entire body was encompassed by light, unleashing a series of clink clank sounds, as if countless longswords were striking against metal.

Xia casually slapped with his hand, scattering the sword light. He then looked at the sky and saw the Empire’s Prince Philip standing on stacked layers of white light swords. The light swords were laid out across the sky, and Philip seemed to be just a little black dot standing on them. However, the very next moment, he had appeared above the academy, standing only several hundred meters from Xia, facing him.

After Prince Philip sensed that his clone had been destroyed, he had been worried for the Fourth Prince’s safety and immediately set off to the southern borders personally. However, what he discovered was only large areas of ruins, with the Hades Vault nowhere to be found.

Therefore, after a slight pause, he immediately rushed over to the Great Western Region’s Regional Academy. He wanted to see if Fang Xingjian and the others had already returned, and it was then that he encountered this scene.

Looking at Philip, the corner of Xia’s lips broke into a hideous smile, “Why, old man Philip, are you going to stand up for Fang Xingjian?”

Philip frowned as he looked at Xia. As the leader of the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon, a Divine level expert who had fought his way up through battlefields, Xia was an extremely troublesome opponent.

Furthermore, considering that the clone which he had imbued with 30% of his power had been destroyed and that there was no one standing guard at the northern borders, he really did not wish to fight against Xia.

However, no matter how bad a state he was in, he would still have to go all out in order to not be undermined by his opponents. In times like these, it was all the more important for him to not show any signs of weaknesses. Otherwise, with Xia’s ambitious character, the man would only find ways to take advantage of him.

Philip said calmly, “Xia, that’s enough. Stop making a scene here. Or does the Eight Directional Crimson Dragon really want to go to war with the Empire? If that’s the case, then I’ll be stopping you here.”

Upon Philip’s arrival and hearing his voice, the people on the training ground were all delighted and agitated, feeling as if they had just narrowly escaped a disaster.

“It’s Prince Philip! That’s wonderful! To think that the Prince has managed to make it here!”

“The Prince is one of the ten great Divine level experts in the Empire. His Universal Truth Longsword has reached the acme of perfection! Even the Pope of the previous generation praised him for it before!”

“This is great! With the Prince around, there’s no need to worry.”

Head of Department James exhaled, relieved, ‘Thank goodness, thank goodness. With the two Divine level experts to hold each other back, Xia shouldn’t be able to run amok anymore.’

A hint of agitation flashed in Audrey’s eyes as well. Only Divine level experts would be able to deal with Divine level experts. With Philip’s arrival, there was finally a hint of hope.

Both Fang Qian and Wang Xiaoyan heaved a sigh of relief as well. They exchanged a glance, their eyes rejoicing.

That violent and brutal aura from Xia had encompassed their entire bodies. Their backs were almost entirely soaked with sweat by now. Only a hint of belief had helped them remain standing without collapsing. Now that Philip had arrived at the scene, their legs almost fell limp and they were struggling to stand.
