Chapter 982 - Inference and Threat (2/2)

“The heavens and the earths have been torn apart by the duo’s attacks. However, it seems that Lord Hei Zi had the upper hand. The force of his punch was completely condensed, not leaving any remnants behind at all.

“On the contrary, Fang Xingjian’s sword attack was scattered and disorderly, unable to merge into one,” Prince Zuoxian said and saw that the myriad of sword marks in the sky was slowly dissipating. Then he assessed, “Thereafter, Fang Xingjian retreated and Lord Hei Zi gave chase.”

Hearing Prince Zuoxian’s assessment, a hint of joy and hope flashed on Da Yue`er’s face. She said, “Lord Hei Zi won against Fang Xingjian?”

Prince Zuoxian shook his head and said, “He can only be considered to have gained the upper hand. The two of them should only have sent out a clone to test each other out. It’s not yet the moment when the final victory is decided.”

Hearing Prince Zuoxian’s assessment, a hint of disappointment flashed on Da Yue`er’s face. “Is that so?” However, she immediately asked, “Then based on Uncle’s assessment, whose cultivation is slightly higher between the two of them?”

Prince Zuoxian stroked his beard and said with some uncertainty, “Although I’m also at tier five of the Divine level like they are… To be honest, they are both experts who are extremely near to reaching tier six of the Divine level. Their cultivation far surpasses that of His Majesty, the Heavenly Lion King back then.

“And I’m a far cry from the two of them. Therefore, I can’t be sure in assessing which of the two has a higher cultivation level.

“However, judging from this battle, differences exist between them but they aren’t huge.

“With Lord Hei Zi around, our Kingdom shouldn’t need to lower our heads in submission to our enemies anymore.”

Hearing Prince Zuoxian’s words, Da Yue`er exhaled slowly and said, “That’s good, that’s good.”

However, under the duo’s astonished gazes, a stream of black sword mark appeared before them like a spatial crack at the next moment. With a loud bang, Duan Tianhao was tossed out like a dead pig, and he lay on the ground before them.

Fang Xingjian also stepped out slowly from void space, sweeping his gaze toward Prince Zuoxian.

An extreme sense of danger and surging killing intent came gushing toward Prince Zuoxian, and his countenance changed drastically. His martial will welled up, not to resist but to send information howling out.

“Wait a minute, Sir, I was forced…”

Bang!

Bang bang bang bang bang!

With a slight flick of Fang Xingjian’s finger, streams of sword light were like meteors that cut across the night sky, containing waves of extremely sharp auras. They tore apart the atmosphere, crossed space, and shot out with a power that could split the mountains and open up the seas, upheaving the world.

In that instant, Da Yue`er only felt as if there were millions upon millions of light beams flashing past before her eyes. As sword light pierced through Prince Zuoxian’s body, a series of explosions rang out from within his body. At the next moment, this tier five Divine level expert was already dead with his conjured physique destroyed.

Seeing how the current strongest expert in the plains—tier five Divine level expert Prince Zuoxian—was unable to hold on for a single moment before being killed by Fang Xingjian with a single finger flick, astonishment filled up Da Yue`er’s face. This was especially when Fang Xingjian did not listen to Prince Zuoxian’s explanation at all, demonstrating an overwhelmingly vicious might by killing him immediately.

Fang Xingjian threw an indifferent glance toward Da Yue`er and said, “Abysmal Heavenly Monarch?”

Da Yue`er nodded anxiously.

Fang Xingjian said softly, “I’ll remain by your side for now. You’ll do whatever I tell you to. Don’t try to pull any tricks. My patience is limited.”

His smooth-sounding voice was like the sound of the wind, ringing out next to her ears. Her chest felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp sword.

A hint of fear and nervousness flashed on Da Yue`er’s face. Before Fang Xingjian, even this genius from the plains—who had inherited countless political legacies from the Heavenly Lion King and was a beauty with great finesse and outstanding leadership skills—was unable to suppress the terror in her heart.
