Chapter 853 - Splitting the Sky (2/2)

Sword King frowned.

He stomped his foot gently and the Sword Qi in the world immediately froze. He then absorbed all the Sword Qi into his long sleeves and turned into a blade aura, shooting into the sky.

“I’ll wait for you in the sky.”

“Great!” Chen Fan replied and held Xiao Mang in his arms. He turned into a ray of black light and followed him.

The three of them disappeared in a blink, leaving everyone in the royal city looking at one another.

The Sect Master of the Tianji Grotto-heaven chuckled, then turned into a beam of light and went after them.

“This is an unprecedented battle. How could we miss it?”

The others also reached that decision. Many Sect Masters of the Grotto-heavens and the leaders from the prominent families flew into the sky. Almost all the guests were gone in a heartbeat.

Pale faced, Zhao Duluo smacked his hand down and crushed half of the plaza.

Chen Fan flew a hundred thousand feet up in the sky with Xiao Mang and saw a sun rising, making the sea of clouds golden in color.

And Sword King was standing on the top of the clouds with a sword in his hand.

“Chen Beixuan, you shouldn’t be here.”

Sword King looked at the sun and said calmly.

“This is the first time I’ve encountered a good component ever since I came to Planet Tianhuang. I’ve waited for this battle for so long.” Chen Fan stretched his body.

In the past…

Chen Fan didn’t even use half of his strength when he fought with Zhao Qingchen and the Barbaric Dragon G.o.d. Even Zhu Jiushan, he was only able to withstand a couple of attacks. Chen Fan was thrilled; it was fortunate to have met an opponent like Sword King. He wanted to know how far he could go.

“I grew up in a sword sect and started learning sword arts at the age of one. I became a Connate Cultivator at twenty five, formed a sixth-grade Golden Core at thirty and my sword arts reached the phenomenal success level at two hundred years old. I thought I was unstoppable, but I lost to someone immediately after an attack. Since then, I realized how big the world is. I told myself I’d never leave the Beihan Region if I haven’t entered the Nascent Soul Level,” Sword King said slowly as if Chen Fan was his close friend.

All the cultivators who flew to watch the battle were shocked.

A peerless talent like Sword King had once been defeated by someone with a sword. So, how powerful were the elites outside of the Beihan Region?

“Oh, really?”

Chen Fan didn’t care at all.

“The Beihan Region is so small, but it makes you think this is the entire world. You have no idea how we’re actually nothing compared to the real talents,” Sword King said.

“I’ve always been a confident person. Even though I might not be as talented as they are, my strength is incomparable.”

Chen Fan cracked a beaming smile.

He was so arrogant that even Xiao Mang was overwhelmed. The other members of the royal family grunted and looked disgusted.

“You’re still young, so you certainly think that you’re invincible. How can you succeed without encountering any difficulties?” Sword King shook his head and looked at Chen Fan with a pitiful face.

“If you had challenged me a hundred years later, I might not have been able to defeat you. But now, it’s a piece of cake!”

Then.

A blade aura was shot out from the sword case carried on Sword King’s back; it flew around the sky like a dragon. It cracked the air and shattered the sea of clouds. The blade aura then surrounded Sword King as if it had intelligence.

Sword King stood with coldness in his eyes.

“This is the Changliu Sword, a top superior-grade Spirit Treasure.

“I’ve only used it three times during my time in the Beihan Region. The first time, I slayed a monster in the North Sea. The second time, I defeated the Ancestral Patriarch of the Ling family. The third time, I suppressed the six Grotto-heavens.

“People always think that I’m as powerful as Lord Red Dragon, but they have no idea these cultivators can never be compared with the disciple of a Heavenly Sect. A sword… is enough for me to kill them all.”

Then.

Sword King grabbed the blade aura and slashed.

“Crack!”

The hundred-mile sea of clouds was split.

An enormous, deep crack appeared in the clouds; the blade aura was like an unstoppable Divine Sword. The entire sky was broken.

After seeing the slash.

Thousands of cultivators were terrified.
