Chapter 113: You’re Going to Murder?


    Fang Chen has reached Earth Profound realm?


    The officials of Great Xias imperial court were taken aback. The emperor leaned forward before slowly resting back on his chair. There was a hint of astonishment reflected in his eyes.


    The surrounding soldiers let out shocked exims. What they had just witnessed reyed over and over again in their heads. The fact that Fang Chen defeated Ji Lengyue with a single palm strike meant that he had to at least be an Aureate Aura martial artist too.


    Does this mean our Great Xia has an Earth Profound martial artist too?


    As expected of War God Fang. He really is our Great Xias number one martial artist!


    Lets see if Longdu and Greenpine dares to act arrogantly anymore!


    The crowd was overjoyed. This was wonderful news to them.


    Jade Fairy nced at the young scion and cidly asked, What about now? Do you still think War God Fang doesnt stand a chance?


    The young scion was taken aback. There was a few seconds of silence before he replied, I didnt expect War God Fang to be an Earth Profound martial artist but the hundred Nightmare Knights havent made their moves yet. Im afraid it would be difficult for him to single-handedly turn the tables around


    Jade Fairy chuckled. Continue watching then.


    On the tform, the envoys from Longdu, Guhe, and Yizhou exchanged shocked looks. They could have never imagined that Fang Chen had reached Earth Profound realm; this was huge news that would shake the power bnce in the region.


    Even if Guhe, Yizhou, and Longdu had hidden Ki Manifestation martial artists in their ranks, those meant nothing against an Earth Profound martial artist. They were still feeling a sense of superiority over Great Xia due to the crushing defeat Great Xia suffered five years ago, but they dared not to think that way anymore.


    Now that Great Xia had an Earth Profound martial artist in its rank, its military prowess was ahead of the nearby grade-9 states by leaps and bounds. In fact, if a few more Earth Profound martial artists were to appear in Great Xia, it could even advance to be a grade-8 state.


    Even if it was the weakest grade-8 state, it would still be a force to be reckoned with. Grade-9 states would have to think twice before messing with them.


    They could have never imagined there would be such a development for this military exercise.


    In contrast, Great Xiasmanders were so overjoyed that their breathing hastened. Most officials also understood the significance of Great Xia having an Earth Profound martial artist, and their faces reddened in excitement.


    Theres hope for Great Xia!


    No wonder War God Fang dared to purge the Greenpine Superior Dojo; it turns out he has already reached Earth Profound realm! The tribtion he previously faced must have built him up as a martial artist, allowing him to make a breakthrough!


    Only a prodigy like War God Fang could reach such a level!


    Not bad, not bad. The Fifth King chuckled as he stroked his beard.


    Minister of Justice Jiang Yushu smiled.


    However, Tao Mingsheng and the others couldnt bring themselves to smile. They were afraid that Fang Chen would get back at them for suppressing him in the past.


    Earth Profound realm I thought that I could at least curb him a little once I make a breakthrough to Ki Manifestation Xiao Shence shook his head bitterly.


    Yan Beihan noticed his expression and sighed. He also had the same thought in mind.


    They felt despaired. No matter how hard they worked, the distance between Fang Chen and them continued to expand instead of narrowing. At this rate, they wouldnt even be able to see his silhouette anymore.


    <em>How are we supposed to catch up with a monster like that?</em>


    How can he be at Earth Profound realm? How can he be at Earth Profound realm?! This It shouldnt have been like that! Li Huafeng murmured with deranged eyes.


    He had recently advanced to Ki Control, and that sparked hopes that he might be able to exact vengeance on Fang Chen once he reached Ki Manifestation. Yet, his mortal enemy had taken another step forward to Earth Profound realm?


    Young master!


    The Nightmare Knights finally snapped out of their daze. A few of them got off their steeds to support Ji Lengyue. As they helped Ji Lengyue to his feet, thetter continued to spurt mouthful after mouthful of blood.


    Ji Lengyue had sustained severe internal injuries that shook his ki sea. Not only must he avoid using his aureate aura in the short run, but if he failed to properly heal up, his martial cultivation might just permanently stagnate at first stage Aureate Aura!


    <em>Thats all Earth Profound amounts to </em>


    Ji Lengyue thought about how Fang Chen had reduced him to his current state with a single palm strike, and that made his face scrunch up in humiliation.


    <em>Pah pah pah</em>


    Someone suddenly pped.


    This caught the attention of the crowd, and they turned their eyes over.


    Daoist Li, you must have yed a huge part behind that child reaching Earth Profound realm. You must have spent a lot of ki stones to nurture him? Immortal Zuo continued apuding as he rose to his feet and looked at Li Daoye with a faint smile.


    Indeed. Li Daoye nodded as he stered on his unfathomable expert smile. Do you have a problem with that?


    Only sect disciples like Daoist Li would squander ki stones on a martial artist. A wandering cultivator like me can never bear to do so. Immortal Zuo sighed. Daoist Li, it pains me to see you squandering your wealth away. Why dont you leave your ki stones and artifacts with me instead?


    Those in the upper echelons understood the connotations behind those words. Immortal Zuo was actually a cultivator!


    Great Xias emperor was rmed. He looked at Ji Congyun, and his face turned grim.


    Are you robbing me in broad daylight now? Li Daoye sneered.


    Youre a mere third stage Ki Refinement cultivator. Hand over all your items if you wish to live. Ill spare your life on the ount that were both cultivators, Immortal Zuo coldly replied.


    Do you take me for a fool? My father will skin you alive if you dont kill me! Li Daoye scoffed.


    Killing intent shed across Immortal Zuos eyes. With a soft chuckle, he turned to Ji Congyun and said, Little Brother Ji, it was a good decision toe to Great Xia. Ill be obtaining a bit of ki stones from them, whereas you learned in advance that someone in Great Xia has advanced to Earth Profound realm. It might have brought trouble to your Chillwater if you wereter by a few years.


    Indeed. Ji Congyun nodded with a smile.


    That child is only at third stage Ki Refinement. He should be weaker than you. I cant be bothered to make a move, so Ill leave him to you, Immortal Zuo said.


    Ji Congyuns face stiffened. He couldnt believe that the immortal they worshiped was so careful as to be unwilling to personally deal with a mere third stage Ki Refinement cultivator!


    Youre sending a martial artist after me? How dare you make light of me?! Li Daoye roared.


    A pinnacle Earth Profound martial artist is more than enough to kill you, Immortal Zuo replied.


    While spirit ki was superior to inner ki, a third stage Ki Refinement cultivator was still far too weak to hold its own against a pinnacle Earth Profound martial artist. If there was a significant disparity in strength, inner ki could still ovee spirit ki.


    Why dont you wait for the military exercise to end first before making a move? Li Daoye suddenly calmed down and leisurely remarked.


    The military exercise? Immortal Zuo nced at Fang Chen and his guards. Their oue has already been decided. Youre stalling for time but I have time to spare, so lets get ahead with it then.


    Ji Congyun turned to the Nightmare Knights. Thetter caught the drift andunched a charge at Fang Chen and his guards.


    The officials of Great Xias imperial court were no longer as excited as they were before. Instead, their hearts were now heavy. To think that the Ji n had a cultivator, and the other party was nning to make a move on Great Xia!


    At this rate, Fang Chen and Li Daoye were going to be killed today


    Just then, purple shes suddenly bombarded the eyes of the crowd.


    Countless lightning bolts surged forward and electrocuted the Nightmare Knights. In a matter of seconds, the energetic Nightmare Knights were all reduced to charred corpses.


    The terrifying pulsations of spirit ki sent a shudder down Immortal Zuos spine. He eximed in horror, Purple Lightning Talismans?!


    The military exercise has ended. Fang Chen looked at Immortal Zuo with a smile. You can do what you want now. You were nning on killing us and taking our treasures earlier?
