Chapter 249: The Black Robe on Stage

Chen Ansheng appeared very calm.

It wasn’t because he believed his swordsmanship surpassed that of his opponent, but because he had anticipated the other’s strength completely.

“That sword technique should be the Space Sword Art; it’s truly mysterious!”

Chen Ansheng murmured to himself.

The black heavy sword had passed through the Bull Head’s giant axe artifact, clearly indicating that it wasn’t merely sword intent, nor a physical sword body.

Only by merging sword intent with space could one perfectly avoid obstacles, making it seem to outsiders as if the sword body had penetrated the giant axe.

This move was very good and powerful.

When he was on Chaos Island, Chen Ansheng had witnessed his master using the space shifting technique and wanted to learn it; unfortunately, he hadn’t opened his Law Palace yet and thus wasn’t qualified.

The Red Rainbow Sword Immortal was obviously not a dual cultivator of both law and martial skills, so his space sword technique was likely due to possessing a space treasure.

“I underestimated this guy.”

Fang Chixu also admitted he had underestimated the opponent; however, in his view, it was merely a miscalculation that didn’t prevent him from looking down on sword cultivators.

Chen Ansheng smiled and said, “So, we should still be cautious.”

“Hehe.” Fang Chixu looked towards the battle platform, sneering, “No matter how powerful his sword technique is, it cannot break my Chaos True Qi. Junior Brother Chen, if you don’t believe it, I’ll go up there and spar with him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Chixu’s figure had already flashed onto the battle platform.

“Fang Chixu from Chaos Island, here to learn from you!”

Fang Chixu was rather dismissive, cupping his hands with a look of disdain.

“Hmph, Fang Chixu! I’ve long heard of you possessing a strand of Chaos True Qi!”

The Red Rainbow Sword Immortal glanced at Fang Chixu indifferently.

“Since you know I possess Chaos True Qi, why don’t you get down from the stage to avoid wasting time?”

Fang Chixu sneered.

“So confident? I’d like to see what you’re made of!”

With that, the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal decisively attacked.

Clang, clang, clang!

Only the sound of swords echoed, yet the sword shadows were nowhere to be seen!

As soon as the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal struck, he used his ultimate technique, the Twelve Levels of Hidden Dark Swords!

“Roar!”

Fang Chixu’s body shook, a surge of blue light erupted, coalescing into a blue dragon phantom behind him.

“I won’t even need my Chaos True Qi to deal with you! Attack!”

Fang Chixu brandished his spear and thrust forward.

Clang, clang, clang…

A series of crisp sounds of weapons clashing emitted, waves of violent energy radiating outwards.

“Senior Brother Fang is amazing; he can even block the opponent’s hidden swords!”

“Of course, don’t forget, Senior Brother Fang also knows an ultimate technique that senses sound. As long as the opponent’s moves create spatial tremors, Senior Brother Fang can accurately predict their attack direction!”

“It seems the outcome is already determined. The Red Rainbow Sword Immortal is definitely not Senior Brother Fang’s match.”

While Ying Lan and the others discussed, disciples from the other three factions were also intently watching the battle on stage.

Fang Chixu’s technique, using sound to respond, truly shocked the other three factions’ disciples.

Even the Law Cultivator shrouded in a black robe couldn’t help but show a flash of unusual green light in his eyes.

“Senior Brother Gou Mang, I’ve heard that this kid’s Chaos True Qi is extremely difficult to break through. Do you think you can handle him?”

A female cultivator asked the black-robed figure.

“Hehe.”

The black robe chuckled, his voice hoarse, “If I were to kill him, I would need only a moment. However, since there is an agreement among the factions to compete for superiority without discussing life and death, and especially in Peace City, I will not take his life; I will just ensure he is permanently crippled for the rest of his life.”

“That’s true.” The woman nodded, “With you, Senior Brother Gou Mang, taking action, even if Celestial Immortals were present, they would struggle to defeat you. I was overly concerned.”

At this moment, the black robe turned his gaze towards Chen Ansheng.

After a brief moment, he said with interest, “That kid is somewhat intriguing; you should be on guard and not underestimate him.”

Upon hearing this, the other five in the black robe’s faction followed his gaze.

“Senior Brother Gou Mang, are you talking about that pretty boy? I think besides his good looks, he’s nothing special; probably just a worthless nobody.”

The woman said carelessly.

The black robe snorted softly, turned his head, his green eyes fixating on the woman, coldly saying, “Are you questioning me?”

The woman was startled and quickly bowed, “I wouldn’t dare; Yulian acknowledges her mistake. Please forgive me, Senior Brother.”

“Hmph.” The black robe turned away, saying lightly, “That’s why I am the expert, while you all are just useless pretenders.”

The others, being called useless, had their eyes downcast, not daring to respond whatsoever.

Even the Immortal King sitting cross-legged with closed eyes did not reprimand the black robe’s remarks.

On the stage.

Both sides exchanged blows, battling for dozens of rounds without a clear victor.

Seeing he could not defeat Fang Chixu no matter what, the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal resorted to his move, the Twelve Levels of Heavenly Gang Dark Sword.

A black giant sword descended from above with a devastating force.

If it weren’t for having seen the intricacies of this sword earlier, Fang Chixu, because of his disdain for sword cultivators, surely wouldn’t have used his Chaos True Qi.

If he had done so, his outcome would not be better than the Bull Head’s; he would surely face defeat.

Confronted with the oncoming black heavy sword, Fang Chixu decisively activated his Chaos True Qi.

In an instant, a hazy yellow mist enveloped the entire battle platform.

At this moment, the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal lost all perception of Fang Chixu.

The entire battle platform was in chaos, as if even time and space did not exist, leaving only emptiness.

“Boom!”

The crashing black heavy sword fell into the yellow mist, rendering the spatial laws imbued in its sword intent ineffective.

A yellowish long spear surged from an unknown direction, colliding with the black heavy sword.

The black heavy sword exploded in response, scattering into chaotic shards of sword intent flying in every direction.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The violent sword intent even rebounded and attacked the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal’s defense, causing him to continuously retreat, nearly toppling off the stage.

“Chaos True Qi, truly lives up to its name! I’ll fight you with everything I have; I’ll become the sword and slash you down!”

The Red Rainbow Sword Immortal made a final push, transforming his immortal body into an immortal sword and charging into the chaotic mist.

“Hmph, an ant!”

From within the mist, a derisive cold snort rang out.

The yellow god spear struck precisely at the tip of the sword.

“Chaos Spear Intent, explode for me!”

Boom!

A golden halo exploded, decisively determining the outcome between the two sides.

The immortal sword transformed from the Red Rainbow Sword Immortal was sent flying back until it embedded into the barrier wall of the duel arena.

In this battle, Fang Chixu emerged victorious!

Thus, three of the four factions had already participated.

Next, it was time for the black-robed law cultivator’s faction to take the stage.

“Senior Brother Gou Mang, to avoid exposing your strength, allow me to take this one-on-one battle!” A red-haired young man stepped forward eagerly.

The black robe stood up, gazing at the battle platform, “Only weaklings would play tricks to hide their strength. I, Blood Witch Gou Mang, do not need that.”

With that, he waved his wide sleeves and stepped forward towards the battle platform.
