Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 1902 - 1884: Where Is Fang Yan?

"Isn’t it just about avenging Wu Kexiong? Why speak so elegantly? How could I not dare to accept the challenge? Hurry up, once it’s over I need to go back to sleep." Fang Yan looked at Wu Chen and said indifferently, his tone showed he didn’t take Wu Chen seriously at all. In fact, that was true, Fang Yan really didn’t think much of Wu Chen. What was a Taoist? He was just at the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm, just like everyone else.

After speaking, he didn’t pay any more attention to Wu Chen and immediately turned and walked towards the Martial Arena. He left Qin Kun and Wu Shan standing there in surprise. They couldn’t believe that just after returning to the Divine Sword Sect, Wu Chen would come to challenge them. They wondered what was going on and who knew about their movements.

They weren’t worried about Fang Yan at all, but they both wanted to know who had betrayed their and Fang Yan’s whereabouts, feeling uncomfortable with someone manipulating everything from behind! With this mystery in mind, the two of them followed, hoping to discover the real answers.

"You’re courting death, humph!"

Watching Fang Yan walk towards the Martial Arena, Wu Chen also followed. Seeing Fang Yan’s back, Wu Chen’s face darkened. Fang Yan dared to give him no face at all, which made Wu Chen determined to show no mercy. If he didn’t cripple Fang Yan, then he wasn’t Wu Chen!

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Martial Arena. Curiously, there was no one competing today, just Elder Zhou sitting there. Upon seeing Fang Yan, Elder Zhou immediately smiled and asked Fang Yan, "What brings you here, and who are you dueling with?"

Elder Zhou was very pleased to see Fang Yan; he sensed that Fang Yan was different now. Although Fang Yan was still at the peak of the Heaven Flipping Realm, he exuded a special aura that Elder Zhou couldn’t quite understand. He was curious about whom Fang Yan was going to fight that brought him to the Martial Arena.

"Hello, Elder Zhou. I just returned from the Ice Abyss and encountered a challenge, so I have no choice but to come here and see you." Fang Yan smiled as he said this, holding Elder Zhou in high regard. After speaking, he suddenly remembered something and handed a blue stone to Elder Zhou: "This is from the Ice Abyss. It’s good for chilling fruit when you have spare time."

Elder Zhou was speechless as he looked at the blue stone. While others might not recognize it, he did. This was Cold Stone Marrow, an extremely rare material perfect for forging weapons or Dharma Treasures, something hardly seen in the Outer Sect. Fang Yan giving him such a large piece as a gift overwhelmed him, especially with Fang Yan calling it fruit chiller!

"Thank you, Fang Yan." Elder Zhou smiled at Fang Yan, thinking this young man was really something, gifting him this without any particular reason, leaving him grateful.

"No need to thank me. It’s nothing. Next time I go somewhere else, I’ll bring you more things." Fang Yan smiled at Elder Zhou, thinking it was just something he picked up by chance and of no use to him, a goodwill gesture to build good relations with the Sect’s Elders, which might help him find out who was targeting him.

As they were talking, Qin Kun, Wu Shan, and Wu Chen arrived, trailed by a group of onlookers curious about the commotion.

Qin Kun and Wu Shan stood silently behind Fang Yan, while Wu Chen approached Elder Zhou and said, "Elder Zhou, I want to spar with Fang Yan, and I hope you will allow it."

Wu Chen spoke so casually, but Elder Zhou was stunned at this moment. He looked at Fang Yan and asked, "Was it him who challenged you?"

Honestly, Elder Zhou hadn’t expected Wu Chen to challenge Fang Yan at all. He wondered what Fang Yan was thinking to accept such a challenge. Wu Chen was at the late stage of the Human Immortal Realm and one of the Taoists, while Fang Yan was merely at the peak of the Heaven Flipping Realm. Accepting such a challenge seemed like courting death; if Wu Chen played dirty, even Elder Zhou wouldn’t be able to protect Fang Yan.

"You say the one challenging you is Wu Chen?" Unable to restrain himself, Elder Zhou asked Fang Yan earnestly. He genuinely hoped Fang Yan hadn’t agreed to Wu Chen’s challenge. The powers were clearly uneven; if Fang Yan said no, he wouldn’t have allowed such a duel.

"Yes, it’s him." Fang Yan looked at Elder Zhou’s expression and understood what he was thinking. However, Wu Chen didn’t concern him at all, so he answered quite calmly.

Seeing Fang Yan’s casual demeanor, Elder Zhou was at a loss for words. He never expected Fang Yan really wanted to fight Wu Chen, who, being a Taoist, had means beyond the average Disciple of Heaven Institute. Yet, since Fang Yan maintained this attitude, Elder Zhou couldn’t object. Thus, he waved his hand, indicating for Fang Yan and Wu Chen to step onto the Martial Arena.

At this point, the two naturally had nothing more to say, and ascended the Martial Arena separately.

Fang Yan stood motionless, smiling at Wu Chen without a word, while Wu Chen, upon stepping onto the Martial Arena, fully activated his Gang Qi. In an instant, a storm of Gang Qi arose around Wu Chen, a pure white Gang Qi stirring the air to form a white cyclone that swept through over a hundred feet around Wu Chen.

Then, under everyone’s gaze, the white storm suddenly ceased, the Gang Qi miraculously solidifying around Wu Chen, as if forming a white battle armor over him!

After the Gang Qi was fully activated, Wu Chen’s face showed a fierce determination. His hands waved in the air, and the white Gang Qi followed his command, quickly forming into a massive white greatsword stretching dozens of feet, which then transformed into a white glow shooting towards the distant Fang Yan!

This move was precisely the fifth form of the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Heaven Arts—Sword’s Emptiness Move!

It could be said that Wu Chen did not underestimate Fang Yan, so he immediately used the fifth form of the Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Heaven Arts, which was already a mark of respect for Fang Yan. This Sword’s Emptiness Move was extraordinary, unpredictable, possessing the skill to solidify and vaporize at will. Before hitting the target, Wu Chen could freely control whether this sword was ethereal or real, making it impossible for others to defend against!

In an instant, the white glow shooting towards Fang Yan unexpectedly vanished, leaving only a shadow slicing through the air. From the moment of attack to successful execution, Wu Chen took less than two seconds. He was genuinely curious about how Fang Yan would evade this attack. If Fang Yan couldn’t dodge, this move, even if it wouldn’t kill Fang Yan, would definitely render him crippled for life!

But just when he was full of confidence, something unimaginable happened to him!

Fang Yan merely smiled at his Sword’s Emptiness Move, then instantly vanished. This was a complete disappearance, even his Divine Sense could not detect where Fang Yan had gone!

How could this be? Where is Fang Yan?

Faced with this situation, Wu Chen was slightly bewildered. He never expected Fang Yan to disappear right under his nose, thinking to himself how could this be, how could Fang Yan just vanish like that, was Fang Yan a ghost?

Little did he know, Fang Yan executed this move effortlessly. With incredibly powerful Divine Sense, he subtly interfered with Wu Chen’s perception, making Wu Chen mistakenly think he had disappeared, whereas, in reality, Fang Yan was still standing in the same spot. At the same time, Fang Yan had also released his move.

A white light flashed in the sky, and a Gang Qi Greatsword shot out from Fang Yan’s hand, directly meeting Wu Chen’s Sword’s Emptiness Move. From the outside, it looked like Wu Chen stood dumbfounded without any reaction, while Fang Yan’s Gang Qi Greatsword collided with Wu Chen’s Sword’s Emptiness Move.

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion echoed as the two Gang Qi greatswords vanished upon collision. A powerful Gang Qi Storm instantly enveloped hundreds of feet, with the white airwaves crashing in all directions, intermingled with the rampaging Gang Qi, looking utterly terrifying!

How could this be!

Sword Breaking the Sky blocked the Sword’s Emptiness Move?

This is too unbelievable, how could Sword Breaking the Sky have such might!

...

Everyone outside the Martial Arena was stunned by what they saw. No one expected things to turn out this way. Fang Yan neutralized Wu Chen’s fifth form Sword’s Emptiness Move with just the first form of Sword Breaking the Sky. These two moves were not even on the same level, and moreover, Fang Yan’s power was much lower than Wu Chen’s. They couldn’t understand how Fang Yan achieved this, thinking since when did Sword Breaking the Sky possess such enormous power?

How is this possible!

At this moment, Wu Chen was also dumbfounded, not expecting that the first form of Sword’s Emptiness Move would be broken by Fang Yan so easily. Looking at Fang Yan, his heart was full of mixed emotions. He finally realized Fang Yan’s strength was truly extraordinary. The first form already had power equivalent to his fifth form. Who would believe this!

Yet he did not expect, just as he was in a daze, Fang Yan waved his hand again, releasing another move of Sword Breaking the Sky. A giant Gang Qi sword imbued with immense killing intent flew towards him. Witnessing this scene, his eyes widened in disbelief of what was happening. Though he missed Fang Yan’s previous move, this time he saw it, Fang Yan had no pause between moves, merely a flick of the hand and the Gang Qi Greatsword flew out. What was happening, since when did Divine Sword Heaven-Eroding Heaven Arts not require time to activate, how was this possible!

But thinking about the previous power of Fang Yan’s move, Wu Chen dared not be careless. Without powering up, he directly mobilized the white Gang Qi enveloping him and immediately launched a Fist Aura attack. In an instant, this Fist Aura transformed into a white Gang Qi Giant Dragon stretching dozens of feet, flying towards Fang Yan’s Gang Qi Greatsword that had just been unleashed!
