Chapter 339: Chapter 339
The crowd retreated to the sidelines, offering space for Fang Chen and Fang Lingxing.
Fang Lingxing wasted no time, her spiritual energy surged as she lightly raised her hand. Suddenly, a bright golden sword materialized in the void and slashed toward Fang Chen!
The disciples around showed expressions full of shock. "That's the terrifying power of the metal element! The power it contains is overwhelming!"
Among the techniques cultivators used, the Five Elements Techniques was one of the most common and effective ones. If one mastered this technique, they’d be able to handle opponents of the same level with ease.
For example, the metal element, that Fang Lingxing displayed, was the most difficult to control among the five elements. Most cultivators usually focused on mastering the earth or water elements, while only a few delved into the fire element. As for the metal element, many cultivators chose to outright give up on it since was too difficult to learn and it consumed too much time to cultivate, so it wasn’t worth the effort.
Yet, to everyone’s dismay, Fang Lingxing was able to effortlessly condense a large sword with the power of the metal element, showing her mastery over this technique.
If one's spiritual energy was not strong enough, it was almost impossible to withstand such an attack. At times, the offensive power of the metal element could even surpass that of spiritual treasures!
"This move is not easy to defend against," said Fang Jue, his expression turning serious.
Fang Yun nodded slightly. She was well aware of how powerful the metal element was.
Fang Ao and the others furrowed their brows. He’s trying to withstand her attack with sheer spiritual energy?
If he failed, the outcome would be bad… At the very least, he would lose an arm!
Just as everyone was puzzled, a golden arm suddenly appeared in the void, making the exact same motion as Fang Chen.
The arm caught the sword.
It didn’t stop there. The arm continued to extend, and soon, a nearly ten-foot-tall golden-armored warrior appeared before everyone.
The golden-armored warrior forcefully crushed the golden sword in his hand before creating another golden sword.
"This... is the power of the metal element!?"
Everyone gasped in disbelief, their eyes filled with incredulity.
How was this possible?!
A nearly ten-foot-tall golden-armored warrior?!
A cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm had such a profound understanding of the power of the metal element?!
"Is he really just at the Qi Refining Realm!? Could he be at Foundation Building Realm!?" someone exclaimed in disbelief.
They had never seen a Qi Refining Realm cultivator easily manipulate such a large amount of metal element energy before!
Just the golden sword that Fang Lingxing condensed moments ago was enough to shock them. And now, just the golden longsword in the hands of the golden-armored warrior was larger than Fang Lingxing's sword by several times….
Even if they gave it their best shot, they could barely condense a piece of the armor the giant wore.
"Fang Ao, are you able to do this?" exclaimed one of the Foundation Building Realm cultivators, unable to help himself.
Fang Ao glanced at him. "I can't. And neither can you.”
"We... none of us have such fine control over the five elements," said another Foundation Building Realm cultivator, his voice hoarse.
They, Foundation Building Realm cultivators, paled in comparison to a Qi Refining Realm junior when it came to controlling the five elements…!
Fang Yun's expression shifted erratically. She suddenly understood why her father was treating Fang Chen so specially, and why he had bestowed him that unique courtyard. In her view, Fang Ao had to have known about Fang Chen's strength long ago!
"Patriarch Fang Tianyuan’s descendant is truly extraordinary..." murmured Fang Ao softly.
The two Foundation Building Realm cultivators of the second branch exchanged a look, regret in their eyes. If they had known earlier, they would have competed with Fang Ao for this talent.
Fang Moseng's eyebrows furrowed into a "川" shape as he watched Fang Lingxing flee desperately under Fang Chen's hands. He knew that she would be slain if the slightest mishap happened. He couldn't bear it anymore and slightly raised his hand, sending a flying sword toward Fang Chen.
"Stop, that’s enough," said Fang Moseng.
The golden-armored warrior suddenly moved, swinging the blade at the flying sword.
The longsword in the golden-armored warrior's hand shattered inch by inch, and cracks even appeared on his body. However, the flying sword was also knocked away, brushing past Fang Moseng's cheek and flying into the sky hundreds of feet high.
A drop of blood slowly dripped down Fang Moseng's cheek.
Slowly touching the wound on his face, Fang Moseng’s expression sank.
Everyone fell into silence.
What had they just witnessed?!
Fang Chen actually stopped the flying sword sent out by a Foundation Building Realm cultivator, and he even managed to injure him!
Junior Brother, I completely believe you now," transmitted Wu Ruochou to Xia Ji, unable to help herself.
"Senior Sister Wu, I wouldn't lie to anyone, especially not you. This is still not Fang Da's true power, he’s just warming up," Xia Ji transmitted back with a laugh.
Wu Ruochou felt a myriad of emotions rolling in her heart. She already knew Fang Chen's background. His ancestors have produced outstanding, brilliant talents with their excellent bloodline!
