Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 236: I’ll Give It a Try

Quite a few cultivators walked toward Fang Chen, with some of them having already whipped out their artifacts.

But the next moment, little sword whizzed forth and pierced through the heads of the five Green Eyes Torrent Beasts. Fresh blood gushed from their heads, dyeing the ocean red.

The cultivators who had wanted to attack Fang Chen froze on the spot, with cold sweat dripping from their faces.

The young man who was returning to his boat halted his footsteps, and his complexion turned awful. Blood seeped from the corner of his lips.

Young sect master, are you fine?!

Those around the young man anxiously rushed forward to support him.

The young sect masters Green Eyes Torrent Beasts have been killed!

The young mans face looked awful. He returned to his deck and intently eyed the Green Eyes Torrent Beasts, who were floating on the water with their bellies flipped upward.

Little sword had already returned to Fang Chens side and was circling around him, ready to deal with any attacks.

Is he a sword cultivator? a cultivator on the boat murmured.

Those who were planning to attack Fang Chen were gasped in shock when they heard the words sword cultivator. They nearly dropped their artifacts, and they stared at Fang Chen in utmost incredulity.

Were you the one who killed my Green Eyes Torrent Beasts? The young man looked at Fang Chen and the little sword circling around him.

You can say so, Fang Chen replied.

The young mans face further darkened. Whats your background?

And I should tell you because? Fang Chen refuted with a smile.

Seconds later, the young man slowly nodded. Very well, I shall remember this grudge. We will meet again.

He turned around and left.

However, Fang Chen burst into laughter. You were the one who wanted to kill me, but now youre trying to escape. Isnt that unbecoming of someone of your stature? The Sea Dragon Sect should be quite a famous sect, judging from their reactions.

The captain was choked up. He wanted Fang Chen to let this matter rest, so that they could survive this ordeal. Even if the Sea Dragon Sect sought vengeance, they would only go after Fang Chen.

But if Fang Chen blew this matter up, they could be dragged into it too.

You want to attack me? The young mans footsteps halted. He looked at Fang Chen with an enigmatic smile. Our Sea Dragon Sect is backed by a Golden Core cultivator. May I know what kind of backing does your sect have? Someone who doesnt dare to report his identity should know his place and step down. Your sect cant shoulder the consequences of your arrogance.

He then eyed little sword and scoffed, Dont say that youre a sword cultivator. There are indeed sword cultivators in the world, but a sword cultivator wouldnt stoop down to boarding a boat.

The crowd widened their eyes in realization.

The person before us probably isnt a sword cultivator; hes just someone who happens to have a flying sword as an artifact. Sword cultivators are capable of sword flight, and the speeds they can travel at are far superior to that of ordinary cultivators.

Speechless? the young man sneered.

Youre saying that I cant kill you because Im not a sword cultivator? Fang Chen laughed.

Kill me? The ridicule in the young mans eyes deepened. Do you know the consequences of killing me?

He is our Sea Dragon Sects young sect master. Anyone who touches a single hair of our young sect master will pay with their lives, no matter their backing! a cultivator beside the young man roared.

Sea Dragon Sects young sect master?!

The crowd was shaken up.

The captain looked at Fang Chen with pleading eyes. Sire, why dont we let this matter pass

You must be quite strong to be able to kill my five Green Eyes Torrent Beasts Im guessing youre at least at eleventh stage Ki Refinement? I concede that we cant do anything about you, but are you sure you can harm us too? the young man sneered.

Our boat is a 36 daosoul imprints artifact, a mid Yellow-grade artifact. Can your flying sword even leave a mark on our boat?

Ah!

The crowd looked at the massive black boat and gasped.

36 daosoul imprints? Most Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldnt even have an artifact of that caliber. Only pinnacle Foundation Establishment cultivators might have one or two of such artifacts.

Boat artifacts were different from other artifacts. Their sole purpose was to safely ferry its passengers across the ocean to their destination, and they could be powered by ki stones. However, it was rare to find boats of such high tier.

Probably only the Sea Dragon Sect would have something like that.

Shall I give it a try?

Fang Chen was curious to know if little sword could deal with such an artifact. He was also curious to know how strong little sword could grow if it devoured such an artifact. Perhaps, it might just grow strong enough to unlock its legacy!

Give it a try then! The young man looked at Fang Chen with mocking eyes from the black boat.

Very well. Fang Chen nodded.

Little sword darted toward the young man.

An incredibly thick spirit ki barrier instantaneously enveloped the black boat. It was almost three meters thick!

The young man stood calmly behind the barrier as his smile widened.

What a thick barrier! Even a hundred Green Eyes Torrent Beasts wouldnt be able to breach such a barrier.

Of course! That barrier is strong enough to fend against a Foundation Establishment sea beast, as long as they had enough ki stones to power the barrier.

Fang Chen heard the cultivators gossiping among themselves.

Shockingly, little sword pierced right through the black boats spirit ki barrier and plunged into the young mans head before flying out from the opposite end, leaving a blood trail in its wake.

It works. Fang Chen chuckled.

That gave him a deeper grasp of little swords destructive prowess.

Young sect master!

The cultivators around the young man howled, as their faces crumbled in despair.

Kill them all, Fang Chen mumbled.

Little sword morphed into a flash of silver light and massacred everyone on the black boat.

Their spirit ki barriers and defense artifacts were as flimsy as tofu before little sword. Bodies collapsed all around the black boats, leaving quite a gruesome sight.

In a matter of seconds, everyone on the black boat was dead.

Y-you killed the Sea Dragon Sects young sect master The captain stared at Fang Chen with frightened eyes.

Is there a problem? Fang Chen smiled.

The captain dared not to let out a squeak. The other cultivators also lowered their heads, not daring to look Fang Chen in the eye.

Those who had tried to attack Fang Chen earlier quietly retreated, but the next second, they were met with a flash of silver light. All of them collapsed with bloodied gorges on their temples.

Dont kill us! Dont kill us! We wont rat on you!

The other cultivators kneeled down in fright, including the captain.

They tried to kill me earlier, so I settled the grudge, Fang Chen placidly explained. He stowed away the possessions of those cultivators.

The survivors breathed a sigh of relief.

The captain mustered his courage and said, S-Sire, now that black boat is yours, why dont you ride on that instead? Think of it as showing mercy to me, all right? If the Sea Dragon Sect learns that I have ferried you, theyll murder me and my family
