Chapter 416: Mr. Fang's super big gift box
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Song Qingfeng (Kyo Kusanagi) got the third place in both the King of Fighters Competition and the Cosplay Competition.
He received two gift boxes for being third place in two events.
On the big screen, Song Qingfeng walked up with two gift boxes in his arms; he looked a bit excited.
After all, he didn't get into the top three in the Diablo 2 Competition and only got the prize of extra game time. However, this time, he won two gift boxes.
Cheerfully, he opened the first box.
Inside was a strange transparent small box.
Inside this box was a red flame.
"What's this?"
Curious, he read the sign beside the flame, "Red Flame. The red flame energy inside can purify one's own power of flames."
"F*ck?!" Song Qingfeng froze. "Isn't it Kyo Kusanagi's red flame?!"
The audience was also stupefied. "Does it mean that one can transform their own flame energy into Kyo Kusanagi's fire after refining and absorbing the energy inside this flame?"
Everyone knew that Kyo Kusanagi's red flame had an extremely high temperature, and no ordinary flames could be compared to it.
"Hahaha! This one is awesome!" Elated, Song Qingfeng opened the other gift box.
However, he wasn't so lucky this time. A white stone lay inside the gift box; it was a rune with a strange fire-patterned engraving on it.
"Rune No. 3?!" Song Qingfeng's face turned dark, and he almost fainted in disappointment.
"My turn! My turn!" Su Tianji was holding the gift box for the first place in the Music Festival. Obviously, her prize was two levels higher than Song Qingfeng's.
Impatient, she walked up and opened the box; inside was a long sword with abundant spiritual essence.
Two feet long, the sword looked to be made of jade but wasn't jade. The strangest thing was that it felt like ice.
The sword blade was one foot shorter than ordinary swords, and it was crystal clear like autumn's water; one could see their reflections on it clearly. ( NovelFull )
There was a straight green mark on the ridge of the sword, going from the handle to the tip.
Su Tianji exclaimed, "Black Snow?!"
Black Snow and Tianya were both known as godly swords since the ancient times in Jade Dynasty. Although Black Snow was less famous than Tianya, which was Lu Xuequ's sword, it was very powerful!
"How come she's so lucky?!'
"She got Black Snow!"
"What kind of luck is this?!"
People stared at the big screen in shock.
"Ahhahahaha! I got Black Snow!" Su Tianji almost danced in elation with this elegant ancient flight sword in hand. "Black Snow Godly Sword! Hahaha!"
"Calm down. You're on the livestream!" Standing beside her, Mr. Fang looked embarrassed.
"Oh..."
"Ahem... Who's the next one?" Su Tianji changed the subject while people were distracted by Black Snow.
Hearing the comments and seeing that others had gotten many good items, Dong Qingli couldn't remain sitting anymore. "I'll open my box."
However, even though most people got good items, some items from the boxes were still disappointing, and she wondered what was inside her box for being the third place.
She unconsciously felt uneasy.
Nervous, she pulled open one corner of the gift box.
"What is it?!"
"What's inside?!"
Almost all the cultivators and warriors watching the process had their hearts in their throats since the gift boxes had given them so many surprises.
Some people stood up from their seats while others walked closer to stand right before the big screen as if they wanted to crawl into it.
"Open! Open it!" Black Demon's face almost touched the big screen.
"Hurry!" The few girls from the Nanhua Faction also walked up.
At this moment, Dong Qingli gritted her teeth and opened the lid!
Then, she exclaimed.
Inside the box was a celestial lingzhi mushroom with abundant spiritual essence.
The celestial lingzhi mushroom from Spiritual Mountain (From the Legend of the Sword and Fairy) was also called Fortunate Herb. It had magical effects of nurturing one's essence and vital qi.
Although it wasn't as good as the others, it wasn't an ordinary item like the others. Dong Qingli was a bit disappointed, but she immediately put it away, knowing that it was rare.
At this moment, only one big gift box was left.
It was Nalan Mingxue's gift box for getting first place in the King of Fighters Competition.
Nalan Mingxue was a bit nervous, a rare feeling for her. With slightly shaky hands, she opened the gift box.
Her eyelids twitched.
A big saber as white as snow and emitting chilly essence jumped out from the box.
Beside it was a dark blue saber sheath.
"This is...?!"
The saber was as long as three feet and seven inches. As the chilliest thing in the world, someone would bleed whenever it was unsheathed, and it could kill without shedding blood since the blood would be frozen by the chilliness of the saber before it could splash out!
The temperature in the shop lowered noticeably, and some cultivators and warriors with low cultivation strengths moved away from the saber involuntarily.
"The Snow-Drinking Saber that belongs to Nie Family in Wind and Cloud?!"
Many warriors widened their eyes.
Sitting nearby, the Royal Princess had the urge to take the saber for herself. "She really got this saber?!"
Ji Wu also stared at it with wide eyes. "Nie Feng's Snow-Drinking Saber from Wind and Cloud?!"
[TL Note: Since snow is pronounced the same as blood in Chinese, it is also known as the Blood-Drinking Saber.]
Nalan Mingxue walked out the door with the saber in her hand.
She slashed the saber, and snowflakes fell more intensely around her!
Then, she hacked it out with vicious force!
A huge icy blue saber energy hacked down!
"The 40-meter-long saber?!"
"So cool!" Song Qingfeng and the others exclaimed while they watched.
"Ahhh... Why didn't I get within the top three places?!" Seeing these great prizes, many people felt crazy with frustration.
"Humph!" Jiang Xiaoyue folded her arms before her chest and averted her little face; she had only three small gift boxes, all containing snacks.
The others were also filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.
At this moment, only Mr. Fang's gift box was left unopened.
Of course, Mr. Fang wouldn't put it on the livestream. Instead, he opened it while he was alone in his room, trying to get rich without anyone knowing.
Even the ordinary big gift box contained such good items; what was inside Mr. Fang's super big gift box?
With shaking hands, Mr. Fang opened his super big gift box.
He saw several things jumping out from the box!
[Beep! You received one godly weapon fragment.] With a purple flash, the number of godly weapon fragments on the System Interface grew by one.
[Beep! You received Beowulf.] A set of gauntlets and greaves filled with the power of light were placed before Mr. Fang.
[Beep! You receive Kalina Ann multi-functional missile launcher (Unlimited).]
[Beep! You receive Golden Sun Wheel!]
[Beep! You receive Golden Moon Wheel!]
Hearing the prompts from the System, Mr. Fang's face became distorted with exhilaration!
...
This establishment could be traced back to prehistoric times.
According to the legends, when the creatures all over the world still lived in ignorance, and the mortal world was like a lone boat that was floating in the bitter ocean with many creatures on it, a powerful immortal who ate wind and drank dew began preaching Dao in the blessed land of Spiritual Mountain and teaching people how to cultivate. At that time, many grandmasters emerged.
Some elites of the grand masters followed the example of that immortal and established academies to teach Dao.
Since the ancient times, many famous and virtuous masters came from the Heavenly Academy. Even people from the remote Deserted Sea Realm heard of the names of cultivators from Heavenly Academy, which showed the lofty position of the academy in the Spiritual State.
At this moment, Mr. Fang from the remotest place in the world, the Deserted Sea Realm, was about to walk out of this deserted area and step onto that strange land.
Chapter 417: Heading to Spirit State
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the Game Cultivation Room, Fang Qi was going through the last cultivation session before his journey.
It was said that the cultivators and warriors at Spiritual State had much higher strengths than those in the Deserted Sea Realm, so Mr. Fang had to be ready.
– On the demonic tower under the full moon –
A blue shadow flashed, and Fang Qi raised his hands to block at almost the same time.
In the next moment, blood splashed. Fang Qi's face paled when a distinct chip appeared in his thick saber blade, and a wound appeared on his arm, so deep that it was revealing the bone inside!
However, the attack wasn't finished yet. From the blind spot of his vision, a cold-eyed figure wearing a blue windbreaker sheathed his saber.
Immediately, Fang Qi's vision blurred, which came with a muffled weird sound.
Meanwhile, a creepy saber energy slashed into him!
With excruciating pain, Mr. Fang opened his eyes and found himself back in the respawn spot.
From the unfathomable distance away, that aloof figure stood where he was and put his hand on his saber handle before the saber moved slightly. ( NovelFull )
Fang Qi was about to step out from the respawn spot when a saber energy appeared before him.
"F*ck!"
He died.
The moment that Mr. Fang respawned again, he fled immediately.
As soon as he moved, several saber energies appeared after him!
"..." Before he could take a breath of relief, another saber energy appeared out of the blue!
"F*ck..."
– More than half a year later –
Vergil slowly put his hand on the saber handle with a deep, abyss-like aura, and both the saber and the hand seemed to have vanished.
Meanwhile, Fang Qi moved back a bit, and the saber in his hand also vanished!
The saber energies collided with each other about a few inches before his face, instantly creating a wave of bright sparks!
"Hu..." Having reached the King Warrior Realm, the disheveled Fang Qi wiped the sweat off his forehead and saw Vergil suddenly freezing. Then, the space around them returned to darkness. "This Dimension Slash is so damn hard to master..."
[Current Cultivation: Vergil, Dimension Slash
Synchronization (Dimension Slash): 30%
Total Synchronization: 13.732%
Skill experiences gained/Character's cultivation strength gained: 9653/3628
Comment: You can now use this technique with proficiency.
By now, Fang Qi had mastered the Dimension Slash and reached level 2 of the Royalguard Style. Together with other gun and sword techniques that he had mastered, his strength had greatly increased.
Meanwhile, his cultivation strength had finally grown to level 2 of the King Warrior Realm.
...
The sky above Half City was always gloomy. In the long time that Mr. Fang stayed in the city, it had never cleared. However, after the long period of heavy snow, it suddenly turned sunny; it was too rare.
As usual, some old customers from Half City, such as Mo Tianxing, came into the shop early in the morning and bought instant noodles; they had never missed a single day.
"Guild President, are you going out?" The old men who played online games with him still called him guild president.
By now, the Legend of Mir 2 had moved from the three old godly weapons which were Judgement, Bone Jade, and Dragon Mark, to the three new godly weapons which were Furious Hack, Dragon Tooth, and Xiaoyao Fan.
In the past year, the players had reached the Red Moon Valley and paved a path of corpses inside the valley.
They had discovered Overseas Moon Island and Bull Demon Temple. While the Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared, the path leading back to the Godly Dragon Empire was gradually taking shape.
Mr. Fang still played the game every day, and his Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild remained neutral. Despite frequent small skirmishes, the world in the game was generally peaceful.
While the cultivators and warriors from both shops joined all kinds of guilds and battled fiercely in the game, some of them had gradually developed friendships outside the game.
After they got tired of killing monsters in the Legend of Mir 2, they would drive around or race in Grand Theft Auto 5 to enjoy a totally different lifestyle.
"Yeah." Mr. Fang stretched. "I've stayed in the shop for a long time, and it's time for me to go out and explore."
"Is it really far?" Ruan Ning frowned. She used to bicker with Mr. Fang all the time, but now she looked concerned. "With your current strength, you'll be fine, eh?"
"Boss, when are you coming back?" Still shy, Zou Mo looked toward him and asked.
Lounging on a couch, Mr. Fang looked at the sunlight that was filtering into the shop from the window and chuckled, "I think it will be a long while."
"Making a long trip at the beginning of the spring?" Ning Bi walked in and placed a handful of crystals on the counter before pouring herself a cup of milk tea smoothly.
"Take care," Liu Ningyun, who usually ignored and disliked Mr. Fang, said to him.
The Black Dragon City Castellan, Huangpu Tao, Red Wing Daoist, and the others all stood up and cupped hands at him.
Mr. Fang waved his hand calmly.
...
In the Jiuhua City Shop, the group of old players acted quite calm since they had experience from the last parting.
"Going out to open another branch?" Nalan Hongwu asked while eating his instant noodles.
"When you get there, remember to put it on livestream." Su Tianji and her two disciples were drinking milk tea. "After all, we haven't seen Xiaoyue's hometown, the Spirit State, yet."
"Xiaoyue!" From the outside the shop, Lan Yan waved at Xiaoyue who stood beside Jiang Xuan. "Remember to access QQ with your communication jade, so we can still chat with each other."
"Okay!"
With sword energies blinking, they had flown to the sky outside the city.
Jiang Xuan cupped his hands. "Brother Fang, have you considered opening a shop in the Royal City of my clan?"
He continued, "We have many masters in our clan. In the Royal City, 12 other clans come to offer contributions to our clan, giving the city a rare advantage. If you open a shop in the city, you don't have to worry about thugs bothering you."
"Right! Boss, open the shop near my home, and I'll ask Dad to send some guards to the shop so that no one dares to mess around. After all, we can't ask that senior for help every time we're in trouble, right?"
Mr. Fang shook his head. "It's not necessary."
"Why is it not necessary?!" Jiang Xiaoyue was displeased. "You just don't want to take me to have fun!"
Usually, all kinds of issues occurred in royal cities, let alone one that belonged to an ancient clan.
Besides, if the shop was opened in a border city like Jiuhua City, many people from other countries could access the shop.
If it had been opened in the Royal City of Dajin, it would have been convenient for groups of cultivators from the Yundian Realm or the three saint factions to take the whole royal city by force before Ji Wu could react. Although the possibility of such things happening was almost zero, any country must be wary of the potential risks.
Mr. Fang explained, "It would be very troublesome for you to fly back to the Royal City each day after school. I will go ahead and do some research to find a good location, so you can fly to the shop each day after school."
"Yeah..." Jiang Xiaoyue said with sudden understanding, "Even with the sword control technique, it will take me a long time to make a round trip to the Royal City... It's best if you don't open it in the Royal City. Go ahead then!"
Mr. Fang nodded.
Jiang Xuan's face twitched.
Damn it! I wanted to invite Mr. Fang to visit our Jiang Family, but now I have to think of another way .
"Brother Fang, do you know how to get through the Heavenly Forbidden Zones?"
Mr. Fang nodded. "Sort of."
"Then, I'll take Xiaoyue home. The girl sneaked out and hasn't been home for a long time," Jiang Yuan said.
Mr. Fang waved his hand, and Jiang Xuan saw a white light flash before him.
He froze.
Fang Qi was gone.
Chapter 418: Mr. Fang Put the Crash on Livestream
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
The turbulent ocean was the most dangerous place. The deep and dark sea concealed many unknown perils.
After crossing the vast ocean and traveling all the way to the south, it was heard that one could reach the distant land with much broader space and a bigger arena.
It was said that ultimate figures, who were like immortals in the mortal world, and unrivaled almighty emperors of warriors had once appeared on this vast land.
Like radiant pearls, these ultimate figures decorated the vast space in history, and their bright light overshadowed the stars.
There were abundant spiritual essence and bountiful resources, with which even a talentless mortal could learn some combat techniques to strengthen their physiques. Even ordinary wild beasts had tremendous strength, and the best of them could transform into demon beasts that had great strength and iron-like bodies.
As for the real demon beasts, mountain ghost, and spirits, they were even more powerful.
Some armored warriors standing on the cliffs along the shore were looking into the distance, watching out for unknown dangers from the ocean.
In the small town along the seashore, some men with sleeveless shirts carried back the rewards of their hunting trip – the corpse of a demon wolf that was bigger than a man. Pedestrians walking around the town carrying weapons could be seen all over the streets.
Under the blue sky, the ocean was unusually calm.
At this moment, gusts of wind swept across the endless ocean while the sky gradually dimmed. Then, thunderbolts shot across the vast sky.
In the dark sky, a bright light flashed and shot into the distance with dazzling sword energy.
"Look..."
"What's that?!"
Some warriors pointed at the vague traveling light that appeared in the sky, but it was so fast that it disappeared in a flash. Before they could take a closer look, it had gone into the distance, and they could only see a tiny light dot in the sky.
Meanwhile, a pair of turbid eyes in the crowd stared at the speedy light in the sky with different glints in them.
"It has been many years...
"Someone came out from the Deserted Sea Realm..."
...
"Hiss...!" Flying in the sky, Fang Qi looked at the flying birds and took a deep breath. "Even the air has the fragrance of spiritual essence. Ahh!"
He felt as if he had finally come into a remote mountain after staying in a packed city with bad air quality for a long time. The fresh air and the flower fragrance refreshed his mind and spirit as if the mountain was empty and it just had rained.
Mr. Fang turned on the livestream at the same time.
"Hi! Everyone, I've reached the destination of this journey, Spirit State!"
Liu Ningyun, Mo Tianxing, and the others in the Half City Shop, and Su Tianji, Song Qingfeng, and some others in the Jiuhua City Shop were still eating instant noodles on the couches after saying farewell to Mr. Fang a short moment ago.
"Wu..." They almost spat out the instant noodles that they had just eaten.
What the heck?
He had just said farewell to us, and he arrived at the destination already?!
Enraged, Su Tianji sent a bullet comment to counter him, [Scummy Shop Owner, who are you trying to fool?!]
Lan Yan: [Where's Xiaoyue?]
Mo Tianxing: [Guild President. Don't joke; we're not morons.]
Ning Bi widened her beautiful eyes with a cup of milk tea in her hand. [Already in the Spirit State?]
Mr. Fang said, "Of course. With the shop's advanced technology, you still doubt my high speed?"
[I doubt it!]
[This place looks no different from ours!]
Soon, a large group of people walked up to watch the livestream, but no one believed him.
"F*ck..." Mr. Fang was frustrated. "This has to be Spirit State, okay? Am I someone who spouts nonsense?"
Ruan Ning" [Then, tell us what this place is. Aren't you going to Heavenly Academy with Xiaoyue? Where's the Heavenly Academy?]
Fang Qi froze. Right... Where is this place? Where am I?
The System's teleportation was indeed convenient, but...
He had not the slightest idea as for where he was tossed to.
He had no map of this place. Even if he had one, he couldn't find his location without an obvious landmark.
Instantly, the bullet comments began to boo him. [You only know how to tease us.]
[If you can, show us the Heavenly Academy and Xiaoyue's home.]
Embarrassed, Mr. Fang scratched his head. [Wait. I'll find someone and ask for directions.]
He glanced around but saw no one.
Su Tianji and the others watched the livestream on the big screen while eating breakfast.
At this moment, Mr. Fang vaguely saw a spiritual boat traveling by in the distance.
"Hey! See what I found!"
A spiritual boat was traveling alone!
All the people fell silent while their minds created a scene on their own.
[You are going to show off your sword control technique again since they had never seen it before.]
[Shame on you...] After sending the comments, they ignored Mr. Fang and resumed eating instant noodles.
"I just want to ask for directions. How can it be shameful?!" In disdain, Mr. Fang controlled the flying sword and flew over. After all, he was quite familiar with such things.
He had done it many times and would be gone immediately after asking for directions, showing off and hiding his name and identity.
A sword energy swiftly shot across the sky, flying toward the blue spiritual boat at a great speed. From the distance, people could see the beautiful cloud and bird patterns on the surface of the spiritual boat; it was luxuriously made.
The elegant streamline of the boat body made it look more like a huge blue sword, and the mystical and profound light patterns flowed in the pale blue spiritual light surrounding the boat. In one glance, they knew that it wasn't like any spiritual boats that they had ever seen.
"Ugh? This spiritual boat looks strange..."
"The spiritual light looks weird too. It seems like the arrays are attached to the spiritual light?"
[Are there such spiritual boats in Half City?] Su Tianji asked curiously.
Ruan Ning: [We've never seen such spiritual boats here in Half City. Its artifact-making techniques look much more advanced than ours. Besides, this spiritual boat moves so fast!"
[Hahahaha! Look at Mr. Fang.]
Mr. Fang flew for a long while, slowly getting closer to the boat.
"That's hilarious. I'll have finished my instant noodles before he catches up to the boat!"
Mr. Fang was stunned as well. "How come the spiritual boats here move so fast?"
Instead of showing off himself, he got shown off instead! Besides, he was on the livestream!
He couldn't let it go on like this!
Mr. Fang tightened his sword spell and greatly accelerated!
The speed of the sword control technique was largely determined by the user's cultivation strength. Since Fang Qi's cultivation strength had increased to the King Warrior Realm, he could move faster with the sword control technique.
He gained up on the boat swiftly as the distance between them quickly reduced.
Maintaining the sword spell with one hand, Mr. Fang said calmly, "It's a piece of cake to catch up with this spiritual boat."
The audience was at a loss for words.
"After I ask for the direction, I..."
Before he could finish, he felt an extremely dangerous sensation sweeping toward him!
He instantly retreated for dozens of meters subconsciously!
Meanwhile, the spiritual boat before him suddenly broke from the middle.
With a huge booming sound, it exploded.
Mr. Fang froze.
The audience watching the livestream stared at the screen intently. "What's happening?!"
Chapter 419: Whose Sword Control Technique Is Authentic?
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mr. Fang was very displeased with this situation. "My performance crashed?"
"No..." Fang Qi suddenly remembered that mysterious sense of danger; it was an intuition that he had developed after many battles in the Game Cultivation Room.
It was very likely that this wasn't an accident.
Then, he saw several spiritual lights flying from the spiritual boat to the distance in all directions.
...
Besides abundant spiritual items, there were many precious Daoist relics left by the grandmasters who had ascended in the prehistoric time on the Spirit State. Treasures themselves were not bad, but holding onto them will cause envy, jealousy, and hate. Whenever a precious treasure appeared, it would cause a bloody war.
For some forces with relative weaker strengths, if they were lucky enough to obtain a rare treasure, it might bring them destruction if the news was leaked out.
The Li Family of Xifeng Cliff was an ordinary small cultivation family. With few talented members in the family, they would sink into a decline soon. However, not long ago, the rumors had it that the daughter of the Li Family Master suddenly achieved tremendous growth in cultivation strength.
Someone leaked the news that she had gotten a rare treasure called the Mystical Fate Jade.
It was hard to see from afar. At a closer look, the audience saw that the people flying out from the spiritual boat included a woman in a white silk long dress and some disciples in uniforms.
There was also a white-clothed elder who looked wary and alarmed.
With a grim expression, the woman in white dress looked up and said, "Who are you? Our Li Family of Xifeng Cliff never fought with anyone and have no enemies. You just destroyed our spiritual boat; do you want to wage war on Li Family?"
"Wage war?" The voice laughed arrogantly. "After today, do you think there will be a Xifeng Cliff in the world?! Ms. Li, hand over the Mystical Fate Jade. Otherwise, you'll all end up like this spiritual boat."
The voice resonated in the sky, and it seemed to be coming from all directions. No one knew where it came from.
The woman's face fell immediately, and she said coldly, "What Mystical Fate Jade? I'm on my way to study in the Heavenly Academy and don't know anything about a Mystical Fate Jade. I think you have mistaken me for someone else."
"Don't try to scare me with the Heavenly Academy! Study? I think you want to take this opportunity to hide the Mystical Fate Jade." The voice sounded impatient, and that extremely dangerous presence appeared again.
Fang Qi looked intently and finally saw it; it was a light beam as slim as a black thread. In the next instant, the white-clothed elder yelled in pain, and his arm was cut off at the shoulder; sweat popped out all over his body with the excruciating pain!
Even Fang Qi felt goosebumps all over his body, let alone the audience who was watching the livestream.
"What was that?!"
"How come I feel like I just saw the sword control technique?"
"No... The cultivators in Spirit State can use sword control technique too?!"
Su Tianji said in bafflement, "Xiaoyue never mentioned it... Isn't Xiaoyue from the Spirit State?"
"It doesn't look like a flying sword." In Half City Shop, strange light flashed in a pair of green eyes, and she sent a bullet comment, [It wasn't a sword.]
Indeed, it looked like sword control technique, but all the people including the woman with the surname Li only saw something like a black iron ball hovering in the air.
"What the heck is this thing?!"
"It's an evil and unorthodox method! We'll fight with him to the death!" One disciple yelled before dashing toward the small iron-ball-looking object.
"Stop!" The woman tried to warn him, but with a black flash, a hole appeared on this disciple's belly.
His body fell from the sky listlessly.
"Third Junior Brother?!" The others yelled in sorrow and caught the corpse of this white-clothed disciple. He was dead with endless fear and disbelief in his wide-opened eyes; he couldn't be more dead.
If Fang Qi hadn't dodged while he chased after the spiritual boat, he would probably have ended up just like this disciple.
The ball-shaped item still hovered in the mid-air; it was hard to imagine that such an ordinary-looking iron ball could unleash such horrifying power.
"This is...?!" The woman looked scared as if she had recognized it. While pointing at the ball with shaking hands, she said, "This is... sword ball?!"
"You're not as ignorant as you look," the voice snickered.
It was indeed not a flying sword. It was a sword ball, which could be sharp enough to cut through metal as if it were mud and soft enough to wind around fingers and turn into threads of spiritual essence. It was a kind of ultimate treasure from one of the ancient factions in the Spirit State, but the creation method had long been lost.
Anyone who could possess such a treasure and use it with proficiency must have a powerful force behind them.
The cultivators who had such treasures had much greater combat force than ordinary cultivators since this horrifying killer weapon could instantly tear open all the defense mechanisms on spiritual boats made by the cultivators of the Spirit State, let alone protective spiritual artifacts; they were weak and fragile like paper in front of it.
The woman with the surname Li laughed bitterly, "I'm surprised that Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace would become so despicable and desperate in order to get that item!"
All the people turned pale. If it were only a sword ball, they might have a chance to escape. But now, they were plunged into deep despair since they knew the huge force behind the sword ball would never allow them to escape.
A comment appeared on the big screen, [Sir, it seems that you can't get out now...]
Fang Qi frowned slightly, finding that he was also surrounded by the many chilly auras hiding nearby.
"Treasures belong to the powerful," the voice said with a snicker, "The only thing that you can blame is your weak strength. Now, I've changed my mind. I will kill you and get the Mystical Fate Jade, so you don't have to hand it over!"
He was so sure of himself and so arrogant that he regarded the people before him as ants that he could kill whenever he wanted.
Maybe for him, these cultivators were indeed ants.
A figure with white hair and white clothes dashed down from the sky as if he were descending from Heaven, looking like a god who could dictate people's fates.
"Nangong Jiuwen?!"
Meanwhile, the sword ball moved again.
Deep despair engulfed everyone's mind like a layer of grey mist; they found that they couldn't even cast spiritual spells before this sword ball.
Many of them closed their eyes subconsciously, wondering who would die after this black flash.
"There is such a thing in this world?!"
The audience who were watching the livestream was astonished.
"Which do you think is more powerful, the sword control technique or this thing?"
"It seems similar to the sword control technique..." Ruan Ning muttered, "I don't know which is more authentic..."
Tink! At this moment, a sword light shot out from the side.
The sword ball instantly paused!
"!!?? It's blocked?!"
Where did the sword come from?!
Mr. Fang looked displeased. "Of course, my sword control technique is authentic!"
Chapter 420: Bold and Fearless Sword Control Technique
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
"Who is it?!" Hovering in the high sky and supported by invisible winds, the white-clothed cultivator stood with his hands clasped behind him. His clothes flapped in the wind, and his eyes turned chilly.
With a dark expression, Nangong Jiuwen slowly turned toward Fang Qi's direction.
It wasn't that he hadn't noticed Fang Qi, but he had paid no attention to this passerby. In his eyes, this passerby, who had seen things he shouldn't see, was going to be a dead man, and it was meaningless to pay any attention to a dead person.
Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Li Family also looked at Fang Qi.
They saw a young man wearing a blue and white robe which was in a unique style and had strange patterns.
Besides, the long robe even had two pockets. Instead of standing with hands clasped behind his back, this man stood with his hands in the pockets.
Then, they looked down and saw the young man standing on a strange-shaped broadsword which had four weird runes on the body; it seemed like he was weightless.
This person looked strange and weird.
Despite the weirdness, none of them believed that this young man had blocked Nangong Jiuwen's sword ball.
"Who helped us?" The white-clothed elder who had lost one arm asked in a low voice; his old face twisted in pain.
With a snicker, Nangong Jiuwen said toward the sky, "Sneaky Thief, I don't know where you are from, but do you dare to come out?"
Bullet comments already flooded the big screen.
[Is he blind? He can't see such a big person before him?]
[Mr. Fang was ignored.] ( NovelFull )
...
Nangong Jiuwen's face fell when he couldn't sense another person's presence nearby, and no one answered him.
Looking at the weirdly-dressed young man and the flying sword beneath his feet, Nangong Jiuwen asked, "Was it you? Which force are you from? Do you know what happens to the people who dare to mind my business?"
"Which force...?" Mr. Fang thought for a while. "The Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild? Yeah. I'm the guild president of the Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild."
The audience watching the livestream in Half City shop was at a loss for words.
Song Qingfeng: [Sir, that's your guild in the game. How can people in the real world know about it?]
[They don't play the Legend of Mir 2. How can they know about your Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild...]
[Tell them that you're the owner of the Origins Internet Club!] Liu Ningyun reminded him in a bullet comment.
Soon, many comments replied, [They have the same effects. I think the title of the Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild President sounds more powerful...]
The comments began to fiercely argue about which title Mr. Fang should use; he only had two.
Meanwhile, the cultivators of the Li Family exchanged looks of bafflement. "What online games guild?"
On the other side, Nangong Jiuwen laughed when he heard this title. "What online games guild?"
"I, Nangong Jiuwen, was in seclusion cultivation recently, and now even a tiny cultivator with no name dares to challenge me. You blocked my sword, eh?" He turned his wrists with interest and said with a laugh, "How about this? Take ten more sword strikes from me, and I'll let you go if you are still alive after that. What do you think?"
He looked exactly like a cat who had just caught a mouse and wanted to play with it maliciously.
Mr. Fang looked left and right but didn't answer.
The audience in front of the big screens were also stupefied.
"I'm sorry to get you involved in this fight," the woman of the Li Family said with a light sigh. "Thank you for your help, but this man has great strength. If you can, you must run."
"Run?" While glancing at Nangong Jiuwen who stood in the sky and looked down at them with his hands clasped behind his back, Mr. Fang waved his hand and replied, "How about you run instead? I'll pretend that my hand slipped and not kill you."
"Kill me?!" Nangong Jiuwen looked as if he had heard a joke, and chilly murderous spirit flashed in his eyes. "Do you know that you will bring death to all the people in your force with these words, even including any dogs you have!"
"F*ck?! What did you just say?!" Bullet comments exploded on the screen.
"How come the cultivators of the Spirit State are so arrogant? Even the people of the three saint factions are not so arrogant!" The cultivators in Jiuhua City were dazed, wondering if all the cultivators of the Spirit State were like this man.
– Meanwhile in the Half City Shop –
While slamming his hand on the table, Black Demon jumped up and shouted, "Sir, kill him!"
Tang Yuan, [If you dare, come to Half City, and I'll nail you to death!]
They sounded more impatient and angrier than Mr. Fang. If they were on-site, they would have attacked by now.
"Don't think that you're good just because you blocked my attack," Nangong Jiuwen said, "It was just a casual attack by me without any sword technique."
He sneered, and the sword ball in the air was stretched by his spiritual essence, turning into a black slim sword thread.
Like a black dragon, it immediately turned into a beam a black light and vanished!
The sword technique of the sword ball was obviously weirder and more versatile compared to Fang Qi's sword control technique. The sword ball had changed into a spiritual sword as soft as silk threads, and it moved so fast that it couldn't be detected by the naked eye!
"Now, I'll let you have a taste of the power of my Heaven-Seeking Sword Palace's sword technique."
The moment he said it, the black light, undetectable to the naked eye, hacked toward Fang Qi from one side with a nimble trajectory.
"Run!" the woman in the silk white dress yelled in alarm.
"Run? Do you want me to livestream my escape?" While he spoke, Mr. Fang held a broadsword identical to the one beneath his feet. Then, the dim sword light suddenly brightened!
"I know something about the... sword control technique as well." Meanwhile, the sword energy grew so bright that it even overshadowed the sun high in the sky!
While the sword energy brightened, the body of the sword seemed to be shaking in excitement, and the sword cry echoed in everyone's ears. When the sword ball hacked toward him, the whole world seemed to be engulfed by a huge bolt of sword energy. Meanwhile, Fang Qi's whole aura changed, looking like a legendary god.
With a sharp sword whistling sound, the sword energy shot across the sky like a lightning bolt from Heaven!
Crack!
As if thunder rumbled, the sword ball and flying sword collided in the sky several times!
"You are seeking death!" The murderous spirit in Nangong Jiuwen's eyes intensified, surprised that this weird flying sword could block the sword ball. "You want to compete with my sword ball in terms of speed?!"
A blur of pitch-black sword energy had dodged Fang Qi's flying sword and hacked toward Fang Qi silently!
Fang Qi remained calm as if he didn't see it coming. On the other hand, the flying sword shot out at a terrifying speed, crashing toward Nangong Jiuwen like a mountain or a surging ocean wave without any intention of defending Fang Qi from the strike!
"Are you crazy?!"
Fang Qi was expressionless.
Nangong Jiuwen's attack would pierce Fang Qi's chest but, Fang Qi's sword could hack Nangong Jiuwen into two halves. Fang Qi would survive, but he wouldn't.
With a sudden, alarming yell, Nangong Jiuwen tilted his body subconsciously.
Then, blood gushed into the sky while an arm flew up!
"This is..."
Dazed, the audience who were watching the livestream gaped at the sight.
Mr. Fang sighed lightly, "Unfortunately, I don't have the Dragon-Slaying Sword, but this sword technique is quite effective. The secret of this sword technique lies in how fearless and bold you are; if you force yourself to use it without flinching, the bolder and more reckless you are, the more powerful the technique will be."
Fang Qi had used the sword technique that Wan Jianyi taught to Lin Jingyu in Jade Dynasty.
Everyone fell silent.
