Translator: 549690339

Fang Wang ignored Xiao Zi, and didn’t care why Gu Tianxiong was blushing; his eyes were fixed only on the strange man.

At this moment, he was thinking about one thing.

How to kill the Great Demon King?

Since this place was Sword Heaven Marsh, and everyone around was an admirer of the Sword Saint, why not use the legacy of the Sword Saint to execute the Great Demon King!

With that thought, Fang Wang’s eyes became fierce. He stepped forward into the void, and all eyes were on him and the strange man. Some wanted to take this opportunity to sneak attack Fang Hanyu, but the omnipresent Celestial Sword Intent made them too afraid to act rashly.

All they could hope for now was that the strange man could restrain Fang Wang.

What they didn’t realize was that with Fang Wang’s display of Celestial Sword Intent, in their eyes, he was no longer simply a genius but had become a peerless powerhouse.

The strange man’s eyes sharpened, his flesh disintegrated into a demonic mist that burst outwards. The surging demonic mist churned violently, bringing fierce winds and sweeping towards Fang Wang, lifting waves on the lake surface that reached ten meters high, with a formidable momentum.

Gu Tianxiong stood behind Fang Wang, his legs trembling slightly atop his Flying Sword.

He could directly feel the overwhelming pressure of the Great Demon King. As a cultivator of the Profound Heart Realm, he had never fought against someone from the Condensation Spirit Realm, let alone faced the Great Demon King. How could he not be nervous?

However, when his gaze fell upon Fang Wang’s figure ahead of him, his heart instantly calmed down.

Faced with the terrifying waves stirred up by the Great Demon King, Fang Wang’s mouth curled into a smile. He held the Qiankun Fan in his right hand and waved it forward.

Just as the Sword Saint had said, its momentum was like fire, its movement was like thunder, a single wave stirred Qiankun!

With a wave of the Qiankun Fan, a terrifying sea of fire erupted, even larger than the waves caused by the strange man.

Boom—

The two powerful forces collided, turning into a steamy mist that scattered.

The next second, the strange man suddenly burst out of the mist. His right hand rose from his side, a bone sword appearing out of nowhere, and he aimed a slashing blow at Fang Wang.

Fang Wang revealed a contemptuous smile. He shifted his right foot to the side, and in an instant, everything seemed to freeze. The ripples on the lake stopped, the wind and waves moved sluggishly, and the expressions of hundreds of cultivators were frozen as well.

Only the strange man kept moving forward!

But his pupils suddenly contracted, and the speed of his sword swing dramatically slowed down.

Reflected in his eyes was the image of Fang Wang, standing amidst the roaring fires, smiling with a superiority that seemed to look down upon a mere insect that could be crushed at a moment’s notice.

When time stood still, multiple sword shadows condensed. On the lake, in the sky, on the mountain walls, on the towers, and even around Fang Hanyu, sword shadows appeared. His Absolute Heart Evil Eye underwent a change, coming to life, and in that moment, his consciousness awakened.

What did he see?

So many swords!

Sword Qi?

No!

This was Sword Intent!

Fang Hanyu, floating in the air, looked down and saw Fang Wang standing at the edge of the lake. In front of him was a billowing demonic mist obscuring half the lake, and a figure was rushing towards Fang Wang from beyond the mist.

Such terrifying Demonic Qi!

Just one glance, and Fang Hanyu, who had inherited the Sword Saint’s Sword Qi, knew he was no match for this demon.

But he wasn’t worried for Fang Wang. Unconsciously, Fang Wang had become the most trustworthy person in his heart.

Sword Intents filled the heavens and earth, densely packed, thousands upon thousands, suspended everywhere, what a spectacular sight!

Almost at the same time, all Sword Intents manifested as sword shadows pointed towards the strange man.

The strange man was still advancing, his dreadful Demonic Qi still spreading, but his speed seemed excruciatingly slow in front of Fang Wang.

Fang Wang’s right hand suddenly drew back the Qiankun Fan with a snap, and the thousands of Celestial Sword Intents moved simultaneously like swift thunder, striking at the strange man.

Hundreds of cultivators were brushed by the Celestial Sword Intents, or it flew over their heads, all feeling a peaceful yet incredibly strong Sword Intent.

That was the Sword Saint’s Celestial Sword Intent, harmony between heaven and man, the Dao follows nature!

Boom!

The myriads of Sword Intents struck the strange man, the lake surface exploded, waves reached dozens of meters high, and the terrifying Sword Qi caused a huge surge, sweeping all around.

Time returned to normal!

Fang Wang didn’t have the ability to stop time; it was merely an illusion created by using the Celestial Sword Intent to suppress Sword Heaven Marsh.

However, the Great Demon King wasn’t so easy to kill!

The huge waves scattered, and the bloodied strange man leaped over Fang Wang’s head, moving so fast it was almost like teleportation. He raised the bone sword high and furiously brought it down.

Everything happened too quickly, even Xiao Zi’s serpent eyes couldn’t widen in time.

Puchi!

A Sword Qi shot out fiercely from Fang Wang’s eyes, piercing through the strange man’s brow. His body was thrown backward, his expression filled with terror.

Divine Nurturing Sword Qi!

A glint of cold light flashed through Fang Wang’s eyes, his killing intent unceased.

The Divine Nurturing Sword Qi turned around and struck again at the strange man.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…

The Divine Nurturing Sword Qi was as fast as lightning, piercing back and forth through the strange man, blood sprayed wildly, and his body shook violently in the air, utterly defenseless.

In less than a breath’s time, the Divine Nurturing Sword Qi halted, and the perforated body of the strange man fell into the lake, blood blossoms blooming on the surface, as the dark-red blood spread across the lake.

“Is that…”

Gu Tianxiong’s eyes widened, his face flushed red once again, this time from excitement.

If he wasn’t mistaken, that was the Divine Nurturing Sword Qi from their Gu Family!

The Divine Nurturing Sword Qi had been a gift he had asked Gu Li to present to Fang Wang, but he hadn’t expected that Fang Wang would have trained the Divine Nurturing Sword Qi to such an extent, perhaps even surpassing his own father.

The Divine Nurturing Sword Qi returned to Fang Wang’s eyes as he glanced towards the minions of the bizarre man in the distance; those monsters had been scared out of their wits. Feeling his gaze, they all turned and fled.

Clang——

The Qingjun Sword at Fang Wang’s waist suddenly unsheathed, slashing towards those eighteen monsters.

Great Perfection of the Sword Control Technique!

Xiao Zi, perched on his shoulder, followed suit, darting out like a sharp arrow, so fast that even Gu Tianxiong’s eyes could not keep up.

So fast!

This snake is stronger than me!

Fang Wang turned and raised an eyebrow towards Fang Hanyu in the sky, tossing a glance that meant, am I awesome or what?

Fang Hanyu understood and shook his head to signal that he was fine.

A question mark appeared on Fang Wang’s forehead.

Isn’t this strength?

The Celestial Sword Intent then dispersed, and Sword Heaven Marsh was left with only the sound of splashing water. All cultivators gazed at Fang Wang with their mouths agape, unable to regain their senses for a long while.

The boy who had led the way for Fang Wang and the man in yellow were even more scared in hindsight, pondering whether their attitudes back then had been arrogant and if they might have offended Fang Wang.

Fang Wang said to Gu Tianxiong, “Big Brother Gu, watch over the monster corpses for me. I’m going to go inside for a moment.”

Having said that, he walked towards the attic.

Gu Tianxiong came back to his senses, turned his head towards Fang Wang, and hesitated to speak.

He had so many questions.

Meanwhile, Fang Hanyu descended from the sky, with the treasured spirit on his head melding into his body and disappearing from sight.

He landed in front of Fang Wang, and once again, Fang Wang gave him a look, signaling him to follow; luckily, he understood this time.

The two brothers entered the attic, and when Fang Hanyu saw the Sword Saint with his head bowed, his expression changed.

Fang Wang walked up to the Sword Saint, gathered his robes, knelt down, and kowtowed three times, while Fang Hanyu hastily did the same.

“Master, although we haven’t been together for long, I will carry on your Celestial Sword Intent and ensure that the Cultivation World does not forget your name.”

Fang Wang said softly, feeling regret in his heart that he never saw his master’s true strength.

Fang Hanyu didn’t speak, but from the look of him grinding his teeth, it was clear he was filled with guilt; he suddenly felt as though the formidable power he now possessed was owed.

Afterward, Fang Wang stood up and had Fang Hanyu hoist the Sword Saint’s body.

Fang Hanyu immediately complied, but as soon as he touched the Sword Saint, the latter’s right hand suddenly grasped his, and the ring on the thumb shifted onto Fang Hanyu’s right thumb. After that, the Sword Saint’s hand fell back.

Fang Hanyu was startled and had to check the Sword Saint again, thinking he might still be alive.

…

Night fell.

By the lake of Sword Heaven Marsh, firelight flickered.

Hundreds of sword cultivators were gathered, with Song Jinyuan, Fang Wang, and Fang Hanyu at the front, watching the Sword Saint’s body being cremated.

Fang Wang couldn’t help but ask, “Do we really have to burn him? Keeping the body and soul might allow for resurrection in the future.”

Song Jinyuan shook his head and said, “These were our master’s wishes. He was more afraid of becoming a calamity after death than of being resurrected. My master lived a life of integrity, never committed any wrongdoing, and never troubled others. He did not want to cause catastrophe to the Mortal Realm after death.”

Fang Wang was silent.

The other cultivators, although regretful, were also saddened by the Sword Saint’s passing. After all, most of the people who managed to come here had heard of the legends about the Sword Saint, and upon arriving, were protected by the Sword Saint as they cultivated, earning their respect.

That night, Fang Wang and the two others kept vigil for the Sword Saint.

As the day broke the next morning, cultivators began to leave, while some wished to stay.

Song Jinyuan looked at Fang Wang with a clenched jaw and said, “From now on, Sword Heaven Marsh is yours. I am not worthy to be his disciple, and I will leave on my own.”

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Fang Wang grabbing his shoulder; he looked at Fang Wang in surprise.

“Senior brother, now that we’re from the same sect, why act like a stranger? Master would definitely want you to buck up. You should continue to manage Sword Heaven Marsh, and I will cultivate here for a few years. We can exchange insights on the Sword Dao,” Fang Wang said earnestly.

Song Jinyuan gave a bitter smile and said, “What qualifications do I have to exchange insights with you?”

Fang Wang sighed and said with a tone of frustration, “Senior brother, you really lack perspective!”

Scolded by Fang Wang, Song Jinyuan’s anger soared.

“Don’t compare yourself with me; who in this world can compare with me? You’ve picked the wrong target. Besides, I aim to be the supreme, and you strive for second place. Isn’t that embarrassing?” Fang Wang said with heartfelt advice.

Song Jinyuan fell silent, his face twitching slightly.

Fang Hanyu nodded and added, “That’s right. Before he passed, master said the same to me: don’t compare yourself with him. Think about it, have you ever failed before meeting him?”

Fang Wang smiled, tossed out a sentence, and then turned to leave, “Senior brother, I’ll pass on the Celestial Sword Intent to you later. You’ll miss your chance if you run away.”

Hearing this, Song Jinyuan’s face lit up with anticipation; he had longed to learn the Celestial Sword Intent, but the Sword Saint had felt he wasn’t worthy.

Fang Wang approached Gu Tianxiong.

Standing by the lake, Gu Tianxiong watched him approach and couldn’t help but smile, “Having inherited the Sword Saint’s legacy and cutting down the Great Demon King, Fang Wang, your reputation will resonate even louder. From now on, you’re not just the number one genius of Grand Qi; you’re one of the strongest cultivators in the Grand Qi Cultivation Realm!”

Hundreds of cultivators watched, as there was no hiding this event, and Fang Wang had no desire to hide it either.

Who wouldn’t want to achieve a reputation that resounds throughout the world?
