Looking at Duan Tianhao, Fang Xingjian tapped out with a finger, and piercing sword light scattered out. It was as if they were going to pierce through even the surrounding space.
Duan Tianhao was unable to fend off Fang Xingjian’s finger. He sensed the piercing white light before him stimulating his eyes to keep tearing up. HIs skin was also in intense pain like it had been pierced by needles all over.
At the next moment, a feeling like he was slashed by a myriad of blades came gushing over. Countless sword marks erupted on Duan Tianhao’s body, and it seemed as if his body was going to be torn apart very soon.
Right then, an unprecedented feeling of terror filled Duan Tianhao’s heart. The taste of death had never felt so close to him before, causing his scalp to turn numb. His heartbeat and breathing seemed as if they had stopped as he sank into the greatest feeling of terror.
However, just as Duan Tianhao was about to die from this attack…
A sigh rang out, and a blurry figure appeared between Fang Xingjian and Duan Tianhao. That figure gently pressed a hand on the sword light. Instantly, everything in the world was wiped out, and all of the sword light had become a part of the darkness.
After the sword light dissipated, the man’s figure was finally revealed. It was a man who had been completely encompassed by a melancholy disposition.
Long black robes, long black hair… It was like he was the sovereign of the dark night. His entire body was incorporated into the darkness, making it hard to see his true appearance clearly.
Only his pair of bright eyes stood out in the darkness.
It was a pair of melancholy eyes. Its gaze seemed to be filled with pity for all living creatures in the world—grieving over life, recalling fondly about the past, and feeling worried about the future.
Fang Xingjian said calmly as he looked at the man before him, “Are you finally willing to come out? Isn’t it you who is helping Duan Tianhao to reestablish the Steel Lion Kingdom on the plains? You even injured Tyrant, whom I sent over?”
As Fang Xingjian spoke, his martial will scanned the other party’s body, incessantly trying to probe his powers.
‘Tier five Divine level?’ Fang Xingjian thought, ‘It’s a clone that they specially lowered the strength of?’
When that man heard Fang Xingjian’s question, he sighed. There seemed to be endless worries in his eyes.
“The plains have always had their own set of rules since the ancient times. Since the Imperial Preceptor has already won against the Heavenly Lion King and received a large amount of repayment, why is there a need for you to continue being so pushy, wanting to have the plains under your control as well?”
After saying this, the man raised his head and looked at Fang Xingjian. His gaze seemed to be filled with great love for life and pity for all lives in the world as he looked at Fang Xingjian tenderly and firmly.
This person was the Plenary Foundation Septet’s Hei Zi 1 . Right now, this person was disguised as a hidden expert on the plains, going against Fang Xingjian.
Just as Fang Xingjian was assessing Hei Zi, Hei Zi was also assessing Fang Xingjian.
‘A cultivation of tier five of the Divine level?’ Hei Zi thought inwardly as he assessed Fang Xingjian. ‘It should be a clone as well. Based on our information, it’s true that Fang Xingjian is a great talent that comes by once in every 1,000 years. His talent is truly remarkable for him to be able to turn into a tier five Divine level expert from an ordinary apprentice within just three to four years.
‘However, he’s not worth worrying about since he has not reached tier six of the Divine level, nor does he posses sorcery or divine arts.’
At the thought of this, he frowned slightly. ‘But I can’t push back his clone with tier six Divine level abilities. Otherwise, it’ll be trouble if it causes unnecessary complications and information to leak out, leading to a joint attack from the Mage Association and Church of Universal Truth.’
