black - robed man

"I don't know, but it should be premeditated. Otherwise, they wouldn't have surrounded us from all directions." After speaking, Fang Chen sensed the Xuan Qi within his body. Although there was only enough for one sword strike, if Wan Yuxuan, who had considerable combat strength, was included, there might still be a chance.

"Miss Wan, this has nothing to do with you. We're only after that little bastard Fang Chen!"

Hearing this, the two of them stood up. Only after walking out of the mountain col did they find that there were more than thirty people who had come to chase and kill them this time, and the one who had just shouted was a late - stage Xuanwang Realm expert!

"Who do you think you are? Get lost!" Seeing that they were from the Wang family, Wan Yuxuan couldn't help but curse angrily.

The speaker shook his head slightly and looked at Wan Yuxuan playfully. "Miss Wan, this isn't Sifang City. Your Wan family's airs don't work here!"

"What? From what you said, Wang Xu, you want to provoke my Wan family?" After Wan Yuxuan finished speaking, she drew her long knife, looking ready to fight at the slightest disagreement.

"Miss Wan, you're joking. I'm just a servant of the Wang family. How would I dare to provoke the high - and - mighty Wan family?"

After Wang Xu finished speaking, he stepped aside. A man in a golden - yellow robe walked out from behind him and looked straight at Fang Chen, sneering, "What an arrogant so - called genius. You're just a gigolo relying on a woman."

Fang Chen's eyes turned cold. This person was none other than Young Master Wang who had stopped him when he entered the city that day. It seemed that he had really underestimated the Wang family.

"Wang Jierui, you loser. Instead of hiding back in the Wang family, what are you doing here?" Wan Yuxuan tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart. Now there were already two Xuanwang Realm experts on the other side. Although Fang Chen was not weak, in his current state...

"I lost to you before just to please you. If you obey me and come with me, I might let you go today." Wang Jierui didn't hide his evil thoughts about Wan Yuxuan at all. Then the corner of his mouth lifted slightly. "And this piece of trash turned my second brother into an idiot. How can I relieve my hatred if I don't cut him into a thousand pieces?"

"You're looking for death!" Seeing Wan Yuxuan shout angrily and about to make a move, Fang Chen stopped her. Then he looked at Wang Jierui and smiled lightly. "How did you find and catch up with us?"

"Humph! Since you're going to die anyway, I'll let you die knowing. "Wang Jierui snorted and continued, "Since you pretended to be Master Dugu last time, I've had people watching you. I know all your movements from when you went around to the south city gate, including buying clothes until now."

Fang Chen frowned tightly. He had been careful since entering the city that day until now. There was no way he could have been followed. Moreover, the Wan family's ancestor was a Xuansheng Realm expert. How could he not have noticed at all? Not to mention the weapon spirit.

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly turned cold, as if the night itself trembled a few times. This bone - piercing cold that seemed to stab the soul made Fang Chen shiver. Even his hand holding the Guiyuan Sword trembled slightly. This... this is...

A figure completely wrapped in a black robe appeared silently beside Wang Jierui. Slowly raising his head, he looked at Fang Chen with the corner of his mouth slightly lifted.

Just a casual glance made Fang Chen break out in a cold sweat, as if his soul had been seen through. Biting the tip of his tongue, he tried desperately to calm himself. This black - robed man was the one who had bid against him for the black bead in the auction house that day. But he clearly only had the strength of a small - completion stage of the Xuanwang Realm. Why was he putting so much pressure on him?

"Hand over that black bead, and I won't torture you." The black - robed man didn't even move his mouth, but why could he hear the voice? Why was he so tempted to agree?

Biting the tip of his tongue hard again, Fang Chen's forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. This black - robed man was definitely not in the Xuanwang Realm. This kind of oppression was beyond even that of a Xuansheng Realm expert. Where did this black - robed man come from? How could he be so terrifying?

This bead doesn't seem to be from this world... The words Leiwa said before suddenly rushed into Fang Chen's mind. Not from this world? Could it be that this black - robed man came from the Nine Heavens? If so, everything made sense. There must be some unimaginably powerful being who suppressed the black - robed man's strength and forcibly sent him down to the Cangqing Continent. No wonder even the weapon spirit couldn't detect him.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen gently held Wan Yuxuan's hand, stuffed two Guiyuan Pills into her hand, and said in an almost inaudible voice, "You hold back the black - robed man. Do your best to protect yourself."

After speaking, Fang Chen activated his sword will to protect his sea of consciousness. Immediately, he felt the pressure on him reduce a lot. He smiled lightly and said, "What if I don't?"

As soon as the words fell, the black - robed man's arms shook, and a pair of sharp claws suddenly slid out. Then a flash of light cut through the night sky, and a black shadow rushed straight towards Fang Chen's throat.

"Clang!" As soon as the black - robed man moved, Wan Yuxuan's figure shot out. A violent sound of metal collision came, and Wan Yuxuan retreated several steps, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood. Before the blood hit the ground, her figure shot out again and rushed forward.

At the same time, Fang Chen also moved. He jumped up suddenly, and then a loud sword cry rose to the sky. He swung the Guiyuan Sword in his hand, and countless cold lights flashed in the night sky. The next moment, they disappeared into the night.

After swinging this sword, Fang Chen also knelt on one knee on the ground, leaning on the Guiyuan Sword. Beads of sweat kept sliding down his face. The originally scarce Xuan Qi in his body was instantly drained, and even the injuries that hadn't fully recovered were aggravated again. Ignoring the churning pain in his body, he quickly stuffed a Guiyuan Pill into his mouth. Then his breathing became rapid and heavier.

Wang Jierui and the others saw Fang Chen jump up and swing a sword, and then nothing seemed to happen as he knelt on the ground. Just as they were about to make a sarcastic comment, they suddenly sensed a strong sense of danger. They quickly raised their weapons but didn't know what to defend against or how to defend.

"Ah..."

"Ugh..."

At this time, screams rang out one after another. The two Xuanwang Realm experts of the Wang family turned around and were almost scared out of their wits. These servants with Xuanling Realm and Xuanzong Realm cultivation levels behind them were like they had been stabbed dozens of times. There were bloody holes all over their bodies. They didn't even have time to let out a complete scream before falling to the ground dead.

Immediately after, Wang Jierui suddenly turned his head, and then he felt a pain in his neck. Before he could reach out to touch it, a sharp pain like being cut by a thousand knives hit his arms, legs, and body one after another.

Finally realizing the horror, Wang Jierui quickly circulated his Xuan Qi and threw several punches. Although each punch hit the air, there was a faint sound of metal collision. "You go left and I go right. Attack with all your strength." After saying that, he rushed straight towards Fang Chen like a cannonball.
