“Fang Xingjian.” Seeing the person who had just appeared, Prince Zuoxian revealed a hint of a cold smile.
A cinerous-colored martial will burst out from his body and turned into streams of invisible waves that swept out toward the entire Imperial Capital.
“Fang Xingjian, you already lost to us back in Buluo City. Harmed by the Myriad Poison and Souls and the Starscopion Arrow, you’re unable to unleash even 50% of your powers. Are you trying to resist to the bitter end?”
Simultaneously, the gathered martial wills of the 14 Divine level experts stopped in midair. Although the majestic power came to a stop, it kept on becoming stronger, spinning and accumulating. It was just like a huge tempest or a whirlpool, brewing a terrifying force.
As Prince Zuoxian said this, the vortex of martial wills gathering together swelled up slightly, seeming as if it was going to drop at any moment. This caused the faces of the people in the Imperial Capital to turn extremely pale.
The Mourning Abyss Sacred General’s expression was very cold. “Why are we talking so much crap with him? He killed Scorching Sun. I’m going to avenge him.”
Scorching Sun was one of the Sacred Generals who had taken part in the operation to surround and attack the Black Mage King. The joint forces of the Black Mage King and his clone had killed Scorching Sun in that earlier battle.
However, Prince Zuoxian spoke to him through information currents, “Keep your cool. For Fang Xingjian to dare to appear here, he must have something to rely on. We have well-trained and powerful forces on our side, and we definitely have the upper hand. There’s no need for us to fight it out to the death with him. Let’s listen to what he has to say first.
“We’ll take this time to brew and increase our attacking prowess, unleashing the greatest prowess of this next attack.”
Clearly, even after having defeated and severely injured Fang Xingjian once, Prince Zuoxian was still being extremely careful. He chose to view the enemy from an extensive angle, unwilling to take any risks.
However, Prince Youxian said a little impatiently, “What other means could Fang Xingjian have? We have 14 people on our side. We can just attack him together and kill him.
“Or I can go up myself. He has been struck by the Myriad Poison and Souls and the Starscorpion Arrow. I’ll be able to kill him with a single slap.”
“Prince Youxian, don’t be impatient,” the Misery Abyss Sacred General advised. “Fang Xingjian’s sword arts are unrivaled. Moreover, he was able to attain the Divine level and dominate the Empire within just three years. He’s definitely not a simple character.
“There must be a reason why he would dare to appear now. If we don’t find out the reason, even if we manage to kill him with great ease, we might have to pay the price of losing a few of our comrades. It’s not worth it.
“Now that the 14 of us have joined forces and our martial wills are condensed into one, the longer we drag things out, the greater a power we can unleash. The advantage would be on our side.”
Prince Zuoxian nodded. “The Misery Abyss Sacred General is right. Mourning Abyss Sacred General, we still have more of the Myriad Poison and Souls, right? Sun-Shooting Sacred General, prepare the remaining two Starscorpion Arrows as well.
“Once the battle starts, we must kill this person at the very first instant.”
As he spoke, the Sacred Generals started making their own preparations in secret. The martial will vortex in the sky kept on expanding and swelling up. Clearly, the moment it activated, it would turn Fang Xingjian into dust with a crushing force, not giving him any chances.
The Mourning Abyss Sacred General and the Sun-Shooting Sacred General each prepared the Myriad Poison and Souls and the Starscorpion Arrows. Clearly, they were intending on unleashing these weapons the moment the battle started, once again weakening Fang Xingjian’s battle prowess.
In the Imperial Capital, many people had also noticed Fang Xingjian’s appearance. However, the battle situation did not seem to have improved by much because of his appearance.
Some people smirked, others appeared rather disdainful, and there were even people who secretly hated Fang Xingjian for having offended the people from the plains.
