Chapter 936: Pursue and Kill
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The Orange Army required one’s character to be that of dedication and self-sacrifice. Therefore, Fahui could be said to be the most selfless person out of everyone present. His suggestion immediately got the approval from Hui He and the others.
Fahui tossed the Abyss sword into the air, and each of the five experts present immediately sent out a portion of their powers gus.h.i.+ng toward the longsword.
The rings’ energies and the powers in the Divine Sword interacted together, and the five people present could all sense the strong powers.
The eyes of both Hui He and the King of Trepidation had complicated expressions.
‘This power must be in my grasp.’
The same thought occurred in both their minds.
Just then, a stream of sword light seemed to tear through void s.p.a.ce and arrived at the scene.
It was a man with long swaying hair and a set of long white robes draped casually on his body, faintly revealing his well-toned body.
However, what attracted the most attention was the man’s pair of eyes that were like black gemstones. They were like the black holes in the universe, constantly emitting a lethal force of attraction like they wanted to draw in the souls of people.
Almost at the instant Fang Xingjian appeared, everyone’s attention was drawn onto him. Even with the Commanders’ cultivation, they were still stunned for a moment before they manage to get themselves out from the attraction force.
Streams of a strange glow gleamed in Zi Ling’s eyes. “Who are you? What power was that?” This feeling of being attracted and garnering attention was far too similar to the Purple Army’s ability to grasp love.
Fang Xingjian smiled, looked at the five commanders, and then said, “The five of you seized my sword, yet you don’t recognize me?”
The King of Trepidation’s countenance changed. “You’re Fang Xingjian?”
The other four also drew out their rings’ energies, sending light bursting from their bodies. They looked like five small suns flying in midair.
Hui He said outright, “Reverend Fahui, we’ll trouble you to use this divine sword for now. With that, we’ll be able to use our full powers if we go all out in battle.”
Hearing that, everyone’s expression flickered a little, but they did not object.
They knew that Hui He was right. Amongst the five of them present, the others would probably not feel a.s.sured regardless of who held onto the divine sword. They might even scheme against the sword wielder during the battle.
It was only with the Orange Army’s selection requirement of self-sacrifice and dedication along with Reverend Fahui’s character that they would have the greatest a.s.surance he would not covet the divine sword after the fight was over.
Fahui nodded and took back the Abyss Sword.
Hui He said, “Fang Xingjian, you killed members of other armies indiscriminately, endangered Earth, and attempted to stir up a world war. However, you’re the White Army’s Commander after all, a person of high status. As long as you admit to your crimes and repent now, it’s still not too late.”
Hui He was naturally not planning to come to reconcile with Fang Xingjian. It was just that the divine swords’ powers and origins were too strange, and they had come from the White Army. Therefore, before finding out about their backgrounds, Hui He wanted to drag out the time. It would be best that they make their moves after they had fully grasped the divine swords’ profoundness.
A strange gleam flashed in the King of Trepidation’s eyes, and he said, “That’s right, Fang Xingjian. All the armies are like siblings. Although you’ve gone a little overboard, it’s not as if the situation can’t be salvaged. As long as you’re willing to lower your head and admit your wrongdoings, it’s not as if we can’t forgive you. We can even return this sword to you.
“However, during your reflection perion, this sword is too dangerous. So, we’ll take care of it for you.”
The other people did not object to this and merely looked at Fang Xingjian with an a.s.sessing gaze, seemingly waiting for his reply.
After all, the five people present were five Commanders, and each one of them possessed amazing abilities. Although they were wary of Fang Xingjian, they were not really afraid of him.
However, Fang Xingjian clearly would not wait for them to finish. A brutal smile broke out on his face, and he said calmly, “Are you done?”
“You…” Hui He wanted to say more.
Rumble! As Fang Xingjian’s figure moved slightly, it was as if the skies were split apart, and the atmosphere within a range of 1,000 meters seethed as a heavy pressure came pressing down. It almost caused everyone present to suffocate and reveal astonished expressions.
At the next moment, Fang Xingjian tapped out with a finger, and invisible forces seemed to contract a little in that instant, pressing down explosively on Hui He.
Pffft! When Fang Xingjian’s finger tapped out, Hui He’s body instantly exploded, turning into b.l.o.o.d.y fog. It was like a finger crus.h.i.+ng an ant to death.
With an agonizing cry, Hui He—who had lost his physical body—turned into a pure gray energy, forming a blurred image of himself.
His physical body had been destroyed, and from then on, he would only be able to use gray energy to sustain his will. Although he had not died, his body’s destruction caused him to lose all the happiness he could get with his physical body. Moreover, it was a physical body that he had been using for several decades, with a lot of his emotions vested in it. At this moment, he felt extremely enraged.
However, at the next moment, Fang Xingjian’s actions were like a basin of cold water, extinguis.h.i.+ng all of Hui He’s fury.
It was because Fang Xingjian had tapped out a second finger.
Rumble! The atmosphere tore apart, and the cloud and sky exploded. As the air was compressed by the strong power, a finger seemed to appear in the invisible vacuum, tapping out toward the King of Trepidation’s head.
Roar!
At the sight of this finger, the King of Trepidation let out an explosive bellow. A myriad of demonic shadows rose up from behind him, colliding toward the finger.
Simultaneously, Zi Ling, Bruce, and Fahui took action concurrently as well. Three streams of light—purple, blue, and orange—burst out. Working together with the Abyss longsword, the streams of light went smas.h.i.+ng out toward the finger force that was coming down from the sky.
However, when the two gushes of powers collided, the trio’s joint force was instantly crushed into dust. The King of Trepidation’s myriad of demonic shadows turned into nothingness amidst a series of agonizing howls.
The finger force did not stop at all and pressed down directly on the King of Trepidation’s body, causing his physical body to explode into a b.l.o.o.d.y state. Then the finger force continued to press down on the desert, sending up endless amounts of raging sand into the sky.
“How is this possible?!” At the sight of this scene, there was no more fury left in Hui He’s mind. Seeing how the King of Trepidation was pressed down to the ground like a crushed mosquito, he felt as if he was breaking out in cold sweat all over despite the fact that he no longer had a physical body.
“Run!”
“Run quickly! This person’s powers far surpa.s.ses our imagination! We must gather all of the armies’ powers before we can defeat him. Everyone, split up and escape!”
At the next moment, five streams of light cut across the sky, flying out in five different directions.
Seeing this, Fang Xingjian smiled and took a step forward, disappearing once again.
…
In the sky above an unknown peninsula in the Mediterranean Sea…
Many tourists were partying on the beach. There were many beautiful ladies in bikinis, putting on sunscreen or enjoying a sun tan, reading a magazine, or playing beach volleyball. They kept on displaying their youth and vitality. It was a beautiful sight.
Just then, a stream of blue light pierced through the horizon. WIth a rumble , it collided onto the beach, creating a gutter that was several hundred meters long while sending sand and dust splattering.
Many people watched this scene with eyes wide open and mouths agape. There were people who ran away, screaming, but there were also people who summoned up courage and looked toward the spot where the blue light had plunged into.
They saw a black-haired and black-eyed man grab the Blue Army’s Commander Bruce by his head, lifting him up into air.
