Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1842 - 1824: Caught Up
How could he have known that Fang Yan had already cultivated to the fourth layer, but simply hadn’t mentioned it? Moreover, Fang Yan had already subdued two of the Heaven and Earth Strange Fires, the Extreme Cold Ice Fire and the Soul Melting Flame. If Shi Kuohai knew about this, he would probably faint from shock. There had never been such an impressive person before. It should be noted that within the Divine Sword Sect, the most powerful individual to have cultivated the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art had only reached the fourth layer, and solely by relying on the fourth layer of the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art, this person had become the most formidable in the history of the Divine Sword Sect, feared even by other Earth Immortal Realm ancestors!
When Fang Yan heard Shi Kuohai’s words, he realized something was off. According to Shi Kuohai, the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art was incredibly powerful but incredibly difficult to cultivate. However, this difficulty was simply non-existent for him; he did not feel any hardship, which made him wonder what precisely was happening?
Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art...
Nine Suns, nine days...
He began to ponder over the matter, and a sudden flash of realization occurred to him, as if understanding everything. It seemed that the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art was related to the Heaven and Earth Strange Fires; after subduing the Extreme Cold Ice Fire, he almost immediately comprehended the third layer, and after subduing the Soul Melting Flame, he directly understood the fourth layer. If he was correct, the Nine Suns Suppression Heaven Art could accelerate improvement by subduing the Heaven and Earth Strange Fires. This would explain why he didn’t find it difficult, while Shi Kuohai and others found it extremely hard!
"Elder Shi, I cannot quite understand this either..." Fang Yan said to Shi Kuohai lightly. Even though he had figured out the rough situation, he couldn’t disclose this to Shi Kuohai and could only cover it up with vague words. After all, he was young; even if Elder Shi didn’t believe him, there was nothing he could do.
"Forget it, let’s leave it at that." Elder Shi, hearing that Fang Yan also did not understand, decided not to pursue the matter any further. He immediately changed the subject, saying to Fang Yan, "Fang Yan, actually, I kept you here to tell you something. All disciples of the Human Immortal Realm are about to return, and moreover, the nine Taoists are coming back as well. When that time comes, the inner sect ranking competition will take place in the Heavenly Court, which you should understand what I mean."
This was the true reason Elder Shi summoned Fang Yan. Regarding Fang Yan having killed Fang Zheng earlier, Elder Shi had already heard from elsewhere and even knew about Fang Zheng’s connection to Fang Pu. So, it was without a doubt that once Fang Pu returned, he would definitely challenge Fang Yan. He truly felt uneasy about this in his heart. Although Fang Yan was currently at the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, Fang Pu was nearly entering the later stage of the Human Immortal Realm, a substantial gap indeed, and he didn’t want anything happening to Fang Yan.
"Don’t worry, Elder Shi. It’ll be fine," Fang Yan said with a smile on his lips upon hearing Elder Shi’s reminder. Though he was now at the Half-Step Human Immortal Realm, his internal injuries had healed at an incredible pace. Moreover, being an Alchemist and having obtained so much Spiritual Medicine from the Heaven Demon Forest, he had no problem breaking through to the Human Immortal Realm in a short time. Once he entered the Human Immortal Realm, he could fly freely and had no fear of any Human Immortal Realm experts.
Seeing Fang Yan’s confidence, Shi Kuohai said nothing more, knowing Fang Yan was truly confident, and thus he had no reason to worry anymore. Then, he began to chat casually with Fang Yan.
"Fang Yan, what did you do in the Heaven Demon Forest with those two?"
"The two of them were just fighting Demon Beasts. Currently, even though they are in the middle stage of the Heaven Flipping Realm, they have no issue facing intermediate Demon Kings alone."
"What! Are you saying the two of them also have the ability to challenge above their ranks?"
"You could say that, which is why I wasn’t worried about them before."
"Such strength is rare; as long as they are a bit careful, entering the Human Immortal Realm shouldn’t be too difficult."
"Yes, that’s what I think too..."
...
The two began chatting casually, moving from the situations of Qin Kun and Wu Shan to the affairs within the sect, to the upcoming internal ranking competition of the Heavenly Court, to discussing cultivation methods and techniques... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
...
After leaving Fang Yan and his party, the Sect-Protecting Enforcement Team of the Divine Sword Sect immediately split into two groups, considering the possibility that the enemy might accelerate their escape. Therefore, the pursuing Sect-Protecting Enforcement Team accelerated too, expanding their Divine Sense fully to track the whereabouts of Wu Qingfeng and his group.
Within just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea...
"They are over there!"
The black-faced middle-aged man who had previously spoken to Fang Yan and his group spotted Wu Qingfeng’s group’s escape path, immediately commanding those around him to quickly chase after Wu Qingfeng. Daring to ambush sect disciples near the sect, if they didn’t kill those three and uncover the truth, wouldn’t that damage the Divine Sword Sect’s reputation!
Six people suddenly accelerated, resembling six streaks of light cutting across the sky, leaving traces in their wake...
On the other side, Wu Qingfeng’s group was using the Wu Family’s flying Dharma Treasure to flee towards the Wu Family with two injured Elders in tow, but he could never have anticipated that their Divine Sense would detect the chasing enemies, and those pursuers seemed to have already found them, immediately altering his expression!
"No good, the Divine Sword Sect has pursuers coming!"
Wu Qingfeng exclaimed in shock, promptly putting away the flying Dharma Treasure, knowing full well that if the Divine Sword Sect discovered it, it would certainly implicate the Wu Family, making things troublesome! Without further thought, he grabbed the two injured Elders and accelerated away with all his might, their speed under the full force of Gang Qi frighteningly rapid, like meteors streaking across the sky...
"Ah! What should we do!"
"How are they so fast!"
The two other Elders were also panicked at this point, knowing that they were already wounded, and severely so; under such conditions, if they didn’t use the flying Dharma Treasure, they might not hold out...
Wu Qingfeng’s expression became even more dismal. If he were alone, he might have a chance to escape, but with these two Elders in tow, he had no good solution. Previously, during their narrow escape from the Heaven Demon Forest, they had already exhausted their Elixirs, so even using Elixirs to aid their departure was no longer viable.
What should they do!
Wu Qingfeng was extremely anxious at this moment, although they still had a few miles to go, but the distance wasn’t far, and without a plan, they’d never make it back to the Wu Family. Moreover, he couldn’t possibly lead the two Elders back to the Wu Family, as that would simply expose their tracks to the Divine Sword Sect!
In his haste, he couldn’t think of a good strategy and had no choice but to push his Gang Qi relentlessly, changing direction quickly while trying to think of a countermeasure. He could never have imagined that trying to kill Fang Yan would lead to so many unexpected troubles, and that a mere Heaven Flipping Realm boy would cause such distress to three Human Immortal Realm experts!
But now wasn’t the time to dwell on these matters. If he didn’t find a solution, everything would be ruined. If the three of them were caught by the Divine Sword Sect pursuers, not only would they die, but the Wu Family would also be dragged into the mess. The six pursuers behind them were all Human Immortal Realm Peaks, leaving them with not even a shred of hope...
As the pursuers drew nearer, cold sweat appeared on Wu Qingfeng’s forehead. Facing six Human Immortal Realm peak experts, while they had two severely injured among them, no matter how strong he was, there was nothing he could do.
No, it can’t go on like this; if this continues, none of them will escape!
Suddenly, a resolute look flashed in Wu Qingfeng’s eyes, and he said to the two injured Elders, "If we continue like this, none of us will survive... the matters at home, rest assured."
His words were laden with sorrow, explicitly suggesting the injured Elders stay behind to cover their retreat. This decision was difficult for Wu Qingfeng too; faced with their current situation, this was the only chance they had for survival. If he were the one injured, he would also stay behind to cover the others. Unfortunately, he wasn’t the one injured.
Hearing Wu Qingfeng’s words, despair filled the hearts of the two Elders. They never expected that the mission to kill a Heaven Flipping Realm boy would cost them their lives. But they understood the current predicament; Wu Qingfeng was right, if they delayed further, none of them would escape. Better to preserve Wu Qingfeng, allowing someone to report back so the family knows what happened!
"My son, we entrust you!"
"The matters at home are up to you!"
Suddenly, the two injured Elders broke free of Wu Qingfeng’s grasp and shouted to him, then both fully channeled their remaining Gang Qi into their palms, creating a surge of power before pushing Wu Qingfeng away!
"Boom!"
In an instant, Wu Qingfeng’s speed increased by a good three or four folds, disappearing from the world between heaven and earth. This was the only thing they could do to help Wu Qingfeng. After handling this, the two Elders stood silently in the sky, no longer fleeing, and awaited the arrival of the Divine Sword Sect’s Sect-Protecting Enforcement Team.
In the blink of an eye, in mere breaths, the black-faced middle-aged man led the Sect-Protecting Enforcement Team to a point not far from the two Elders. Observing them from a distance, an expression of doubt flickered in his eyes as he asked, "Who are you to dare injuring our Divine Sword Sect disciples near the Sect? What are your intentions?"
The icy voice carried a dense murderous intent, and the chilling aura swept through the surrounding area. Not just him, but the other five were also filled with intense killing intent, causing the very air between heaven and earth to drop in temperature.
