Although Fang Cheng wore a terrifying Bronze Beast Mask, Wen Qianqian recognized him at first glance.
The beautiful young woman’s eyes shimred, and she seed on the verge of tears. She looked at Fang Cheng, opening her mouth to speak, but then hesitated. Seeing the many other Cultivators around, she pressed her lips together and said nothing.
She obediently walked to Fang Cheng’s side, not uttering a sound.
Fang Cheng collected the Ten Thousand Treasures Studio Cultivator’s storage pouch and Talismans. A beam of Li Hen Demon Light shot out, wrapped around the corpse, and slowly refined it into ash.
This brutally murderous display caused all the Wang Family Elders to frown.
The leading Wang Family Elder was particularly incensed. The Ten Thousand Treasures Studio had long-standing dealings with the Wang Family. If word got out that a respected Silver Belt Elder had been killed right in front of a group of Wang Family Elders, it would surely bring considerable trouble upon their family.
The Wang Family Elder sighed and looked at Fang Cheng. "After what you’ve done today, not even Cai Li and Sun Fugai can protect you."
Fang Cheng scoffed. "That’s no concern of yours."
With that, he prepared to leave with Wen Qianqian.
The Wang Family Elder said, "Hold on!"
Fang Cheng’s gaze grew cold. "What?" he asked, his tone laced with annoyance. "Do you have sothing else to say, Daoist?"
The Wang Family Elder said, "I don’t care what grievance you had with Daoist Qiu of Ten Thousand Treasures Studio, but you killed him on my Chixia Island. You must provide an explanation, or else where would the Wang Family’s honor be?"
Fang Cheng let out an incredulous laugh. He was already seething with suppressed rage, and this just ignited it. He chuckled lightly. "What kind of explanation do you want?"
The Wang Family Elder’s expression turned stern. "The two of you will remain on Chixia Island for the ti being. We will discuss this further after the others from Ten Thousand Treasures Studio arrive and the matter is settled properly."
Fang Cheng said coolly, "Then today, I’ll see just what the Wang Family can do to make stay."
As his voice fell, the Flying Fish Sword flew out silently, a cold, dark ring of sword light circling him and Wen Qianqian.
The Wang Family Elder laughed in fury. "Do you really think the Wang Family is defenseless?!"
With that, he pointed a hand to the sky. Instantly, the Wang Family’s Island Defense Array surged with a sky full of crimson light. One beam, like a celestial waterfall, plumted straight down toward Fang Cheng to suppress him.
Utterly fearless, Fang Cheng clenched one hand into a fist and punched toward the sky.
Ripples ford in the air as a stunning heatwave spread out.
The invisible fist aura collided violently with the crimson torrent descending from the sky.
BOOM!!!
An earth-shattering bang echoed across all of Chixia Island. The minds of every Cultivator on the island were shaken, and they all walked out of their Cave Mansions to look over curiously.
Fang Cheng had been in secluded cultivation for many days, and his strength had greatly increased. He was just looking for a chance to test how much progress he had made.
Therefore, he struck with his full power from the very beginning!
Above the Immortal Guest Residence, the sky-filling red light twisted and expanded. A shocking wave of power swept over the nearby flora, instantly uprooting it.
The Wang Family Elder’s figure shot up from the ground and into the sky full of light. Then, a giant hand ford of the radiance pressed down toward Fang Cheng once more.
The other Wang Family Elders remained on high alert, spreading out to subtly encircle Fang Cheng and prevent his escape.
Fang Cheng’s hand seals for his Sword Technique shifted. The Flying Fish Sword let out a long, clear cry, and everyone saw a blindingly white beam of sword light shoot up from the ground, faster than thunder, as it streaked across the sky.
The sound, like muffled thunder, followed only a mont later.
Before the great hand of crimson light could even descend, the sword light slashed it apart, completely dispersing its Spiritual chanism.
Fang Cheng stood with his hands behind his back, his head tilted slightly upward. In the sky, the beam of sword light bent gently and split into eighty-one brilliant rays. They crisscrossed to form a Sword Array that churned the sky full of crimson light to pieces.
A terrifyingly cold Sword Intent stretched across the firmant, blanketing the sky above Chixia Island with its soul-shaking presence.
The power of the sword light was imnse and formidable, utterly unlike sothing an Early-stage Life Talisman Cultivator could control.
For a mont, the crimson light in the sky could no longer converge, let alone suppress Fang Cheng.
At that mont, many more Wang Family Cultivators rushed over. When they saw soone standing on Chixia Island, fighting against the Wang Family’s Clan Protection Array, they were all too stunned to speak.
"Even if the Sixth Elder can only borrow twenty percent of the Grand Array’s power, it’s not to be underestimated... Besides, the Sixth Elder himself has a Mid-stage Life Talisman Cultivation..."
"Who is this person?"
"Judging by his appearance, he seems to be Suanni, one of the Ten Fiends of the Law Enforcent Hall."
The disciples of the Wang Family were all proud and arrogant, considering themselves superior to all others in the Abyssal Marsh.
Even among the four great families, the Wang Family had held the top position for the past century, clearly a cut above the other three.
Never had they imagined soone would dare to act so brazenly on Chixia Island. They were both shocked and furious, wishing the Wang Family Elders would imdiately join forces to suppress that sword light.
This was a blatant slap in the Wang Family’s face.
In the crowd, Wang Xingzhi, dressed in luxurious robes, watched the battle between the sword light and the crimson radiance with an expressionless face, a complex look faintly flickering in his eyes.
When he saw Wen Qianqian and then the sharp, transcendent sword light, he began to have his suspicions about Suanni’s identity.
As for the Inner Sect Disciple Wang Pan, he had secretly learned of Suanni’s true identity through Feng Mo long before he entered the Earth Abyss for a mission.
Now, watching that man single-handedly control the sword light and fight the Wang Family’s Sixth Elder, both of them were overco with a sense of awe and complex emotions.
The companion from a few years ago had now reached such heights!
After exchanging over a hundred moves with the Sixth Elder, Fang Cheng spotted an opening and laughed heartily. "So this is all the Wang Family amounts to!"
As he spoke, the sword light filling the sky suddenly vanished, and the cold Sword Intent disappeared along with it.
Netherworld Sword Technique—Celestial Ghost.
From within the crimson light, a miserable groan was suddenly heard, and a figure plumted from the sky.
As the figure fell, it gradually separated into two halves at the waist—it had been sliced in two by a single sword strike.
The Wang Family Cultivators cried out in alarm. Several streaks of Escape Light shot into the sky, frantically catching the Sixth Elder. They found he still clung to a sliver of life, but with the Sword Intent invading his body, he would perish in an instant if not treated imdiately.
"Quick, get the Patriarch!"
Crying out in alarm, the group flew toward the depths of Chixia Island with the Sixth Elder’s bisected body.
The crimson radiance in the sky slowly dissipated, leaving only the restrictive light of the Wang Family’s Grand Array, which continued to emit a soft, bright glow.
Fang Cheng glanced around at the remaining Wang Family Elders and said with utter disdain, "Who else would like to offer their guidance?"
One of the Wang Family Elders said grimly, "Everyone, we can’t worry about honor right now! Let’s attack together, or the Wang Family will be utterly disgraced!"
Within the Wang Family, there were only three Elders at the Mid-to-Late Life Talisman Stage, and one of them was not on the island today.
Another was the Patriarch, who had yet to appear.
The remaining Elders were all at the Early Life Talisman Stage. They knew they weren’t as skilled as the Sixth Elder, so to go up alone would be no different from suicide.
Nine Wang Family Elders had gathered at the Immortal Guest Residence. They ca to an instant, unspoken agreent. As their gazes t, a tacit understanding was ford, and they all attacked at once!
Over a dozen beams of light from Divine Techniques and Magical Artifacts shot toward Fang Cheng and Wen Qianqian, brimming with murderous intent.
The Flying Fish Sword had returned to Fang Cheng’s side at so point. Now, its light flared—silent, cold, and desolate. It precisely and mysteriously painted a scene of rising clouds and mist, blocking all of the Elders’ attacks.
At the sa ti, a rope glittering with golden light shot out from Fang Cheng’s sleeve. It expanded abruptly, like an impossibly long flying serpent, weaving and coiling around the waists of the nine Wang Family Elders.
In an instant, it had wrapped around them several tis!
Even back when it was only a Tier Two Lower Grade artifact, the Immortal Binding Rope had been able to restrain the Late-Life Talisman Stage Mad Daoist for a mont. Now that it was a Second-Order Middle Grade Magical Artifact, its power was even more formidable.
How could this group of Early-stage Life Talisman Cultivators possibly resist it?
As the golden light flashed about, the Wang Family Elders were caught completely off guard. The Immortal Binding Rope ignored their Protective Spiritual Light and, in an overbearing display, bound all nine of them, subduing them completely.
