“Silence!” The Black Mage King’s furious voice was sent into Fang Xingchen’s mind. “Fang Xingjian exchanged blows with Alexander in the Great Western Region, and it came to a draw. From today onward, it’s best that you don’t offend him.”
“What?!” Fang Xingchen clenched his fists tightly, crushing the flames in his palm. Yet he still found the Black Mage King’s words hard to believe. “But…”
“If he kills you, I won’t interfere. You better not be creating complications for me before the evil god ritual.”
Hearing that the Black Mage King would not even step up if Fang Xingjian were to appear to kill him, Fang Xingchen’s face flushed red.
Although he knew that it was because the Black Mage King did not want to be injured so that he could face the evil god ritual in perfect condition, Fang Xingchen’s expression was still twisted. His fists clenched tightly together, but under the Black Mage King’s continuous urging, he eventually could only throw a hateful glance toward the Full Moon Shrine and fly off rapidly.
‘Damn it… Fang Xingjian… How could he possibly have reached a draw against Alexander?’ Fang Xingchen’s brows furrowed. ‘Wouldn’t that mean that he has the battle prowess of a tier five Divine level expert?’
Endless fury and hatred flashed in his eyes. ‘If this goes on, won’t I never be able to seek revenge in this entire life?’
Even if they were a Knight, the battle prowess of a tier five Divine level expert was not to be underestimated. Just like how it was now, even the Black Mage King was unwilling to take the initiative to offend Fang Xingjian.
On the ground, countless Knights looked toward the sky in a daze. Just as the Full Moon Shrine’s light screen was getting increasingly thinner, the three Mages suddenly flew away. This caused countless people to be astonished.
‘What’s going on?”
“Why did they withdraw?”
“They were about to break through to the Full Moon Shrine soon, right?”
Xingwu Region’s Governor looked with great astonishment at the three figures that had disappeared into the sky, unable to understand what had happened. ‘Could it be that the Full Moon Shrine still has some kind of secret weapon? Then why didn’t they bring it out earlier?’
Just as everyone was feeling surprised, curious, and puzzled, a Conferred Knight dashed out and bellowed loudly. Violent sound waves shot out from his mouth and radiated out in all directions, transmitting into the ears of over ten thousand Knights present.
“Fang Xingjian and Alexander battled in the sky above the Great Western Region and exchanged a total of seven moves, ending in a draw. King Alexander retreated.”
These words seemed simple, but seemed to contained some kind of mysterious magical power. As the news entered everyone’s ears, the scene fell eerily silent.
Everyone listened to this news in a daze, and most people’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
Alexander—who had ruled over the Empire for several decades and stood at the very top, high up above all the other experts—had actually been pushed back? …Pushed back by Fang Xingjian?
Everyone fell speechless, as if some kind of muting magic had been cast on them.
Xingwu Region’s Governor was in a great state of shock, and his mind went completely blank.
The old man from the Battle Hall fell silent. He looked in the direction which the three Mages had disappeared and finally understood why they had retreated.
‘Is it because the Myriad Stars Palace and the Full Moon Shrine had surrendered to Fang Xingjian previously?
‘With just one name, the Full Moon Shrine’s predicament was resolved, and a Divine level Mage was forced to retreat… Such prowess…’
Simultaneously, his disciples’ eyes lit up as well. The people in the surroundings finally understood why the Mages had retreated.
At the next moment, the crowd that had fallen silent seemed like ignited fuel. An explosive commotion suddenly broke out, and the voices of countless people rang out.
“Fang Xingjian…”
“From today onward, the entire Empire will be split between Fang Xingjian and Alexander.”
“He didn’t come, but just his name alone scared off the Mages. What fierce prowess… What fierce prowess…”
