1053 Comrades (1/2)
Liu He was a Golden Core Venerable, equivalent to the Primordial Core realm of the barbarians!
Dealing with someone at the Materialization realm was like using a sledgehammer to kill a fly.
With a flick of his sleeve, dense and numerous Sword Qi appeared in the air.
”It seems… the cultivators from outside might not have the assistance of a totem, but they're well versed in the use of magic artifacts and the comprehension of nomological laws!”
Fang Yuan nodded. ”Come!”
”Ten Thousand Swords, go!” Liu He stretched out a finger, and Sword Qi fell like raindrops.
”Attack!” Fang Yuan drew his saber and chopped. White radiance flooded the world like the sun, melting the overwhelming Sword Qi.
”Hmm?” Liu He was startled. ”You… comprehended Saber Realm?”
Even among these outside cultivators, being able to comprehend Saber Realm at the Foundation Establishment stage was an incredible feat.
”How is it?” Fang Yuan confronted Liu He while holding his saber.
”I underestimated you, but…” Liu He's face flashed red, and a sword domain appeared and expanded.
”About time!” Fang Yuan laughed loudly, letting Saber Realm and Sword Realm clash, numerous Saber Qi and Sword Qi dissipate. They were actually on par.
”This Venerable Illusion Realm!” Liu He was incomparably shocked. ”His cultivation is lower than mine, but he can fight evenly with me. Obviously, his compression of the Nomological Laws of Saber has surpassed mine of the sword!”
”It seems like… there's no way to kill someone at Golden Core with my most basic strength!” Fang Yuan tried a few times but still shook his head. ”Take this!”
He rode on the cloud and rushed forward.
”Die!” Liu He immediately mobilized many flying swords to poke numerous holes into this figure, yet no blood flowed out.
”Hmm? Illusion?”
He, of course, did not know that it was all too easy for Fang Yuan's Clam Dragon totem to fool Golden Core spiritual will.
At this moment, Fang Yuan appeared by his side and chopped out!
”Go!” In his shock, Liu He spat out another sword light onto the saber.
”Double Blade!” Fang Yuan's eyes shone. Beside the original saber, a second one appeared. It cut through Liu He's body and split his Golden Core.
Ping!
The Golden Core immediately exploded, and the small human figure within instantly disappeared.
”Good!” Fang Yuan landed on the ground and savored that blow just now.
”This is indeed the Illusion Realm's nomological laws. I've only comprehended basic mastery, and it has helped me defeat a powerful enemy!
”If I couple my current strength with the Nine Star Pearl, killing ordinary Primordial Core cultivators would be as easy as killing chicken!”
The Double Blade technique used the principle of spatial refraction.
Like just now, Liu He had clearly avoided the fatal blow from the visible saber, but how was he going to dodge the same saber with the same force appearing right beside it? He had not been ready for it!
”I wonder if he has anything good on him…” Fang Yuan went to the side of Liu He's corpse and turned it over slightly. ”Three spirit artifacts—a phantom shield and two flying swords—some pills and clothing… No cultivation manuals nor identity tokens… If I were to return like this, it wouldn't count as fulfilling my task.”
His task was to investigate, and it would have been best to capture Liu He alive and have some solid proof.
Unfortunately, he did not think too much when killing Liu He. Furthermore, there was no token on him.
”But… he obviously belongs to a sect. There should be someone behind him. Well, I can always bring that Hei Jue back as a witness!”
The path of cultivation was free, and everything had the chance to be successful. To be honest, Fang Yuan appreciated that Hei Jue, but he would not show any mercy if there was a conflict of interest.
”I'm a barbarian and have a totem after all! Would the outside cultivation world really accept me if I were to rely on them?” Fang Yuan sneered.
The world outside was wary of people outside their race, and the same went for the barbarians.
It was simply foolish to abandon his roots before amassing decisive power.
…
”Wu Cheng, leader of the Eagle tribe, humbly greets the envoy from the Holy Mountain!” A middle-aged man in beast hides bowed to Fang Yuan.
”Okay, bring a few of your men and follow me!” Fang Yuan said lightly.
”Understood!” Wu Cheng immediately ordered, ”Hei Yong, bring Hei Tu and some others. Follow me!”
The group found Hei Jue and his friends still eating meat.
”Haha… Hei Jue, you better surrender!” Hei Tu shouted
”Hmm?” Hei Jue turned, saw Fang Yuan and the rest, and his pupils shrank. He sprung up immediately. ”Leader and this master here. I have a grudge with Hei Tu, so please don't just listen to his side of the story!”
”You are one of the rare smart ones among the barbarians. You correctly guessed that my status isn't lower than your leader and suspected that Hei Tu accused you. Such a pity…
