Chapter 34: Become My Peak-Beating Disciple

!” she screamed, causing everyone else to tremble with fear."Could it be that I'm utterly helpless even against that scoundrel's lackeys!" she roared."Miss, I actually have aOut of the crowd, one pers...Only to see Fang Chen wielding the Demonic Sword Art with ferocity! A step across the sky! Instantly arriving behind the assassin who was farther back! One sword strike!

The head flew off instantly! Blood spurted out like a jet!

Then he leaped several steps! The power of the Sword Demon Body was fully displayed! He quickly caught up to the other person!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

The assassin didn't expect Fang Chen to be this fast! Knowing he couldn't run, he roared and charged towards Fang Chen!

Fang Chen let out a cold snort! The Soul Heaven Demon Eye was unleashed! The Fierce Devil Sword Technique exploded! Two swords slashed consecutively! The assassin couldn't resist at all! His arms were severed in the first strike!

But Fang Chen did not kill him, instead he stepped on him with his foot and coldly asked: "Who sent you And who are you!"

The man's hands were severed, his expression ferocious! He glared at Fang Chen with venomous hatred!

"Let me tell you, it doesn't matter! We are the Shadow Assassins from a thousand miles away! Someone paid to have you killed! As for who that someone is, you'll never know in your lifetime!"

He grinned ferociously, then spat out a mouthful of black blood! He died instantly.

Fang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This person had poison pills in their mouth and actually swallowed them so decisively.

"Shadow Killer From a Thousand Miles Away"

Fang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Thousand Miles Shadow Killer, one of the top three assassin organizations in the Eastern Divine Region, possesses immense power. They specialize in assassination and are known for their ruthless pragmatism, valuing money above all else.

This organization is very mysterious, with no trace or presence, and no one knows who the leader is or where the headquarters are.

"Those who would send assassins after me now are undoubtedly Luo Yun, Yu Yuanwen, and that Yi Tianyu I offended before. But the most likely culprit is still Luo Yun, after all, our feud runs the deepest."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a cold snort: "Interesting."

He glanced at the corpse and left without any hesitation.

At this moment, as night deepened, Fang Chen returned to the Qifeng Holy Temple after his journey, only to find the old man waiting for him in front of the main hall.

Fang Chen asked, "Grandpa Wang, it's so late, why aren't you resting yet"

Upon seeing Fang Chen return, the weariness on the old man's face vanished instantly.

The old man said nervously, “Young master, it’s not good. Not long after you left, a large group of people came! They demanded that you come out!”

“A large crowd” Fang Chen frowned slightly, “Is my master alright”

The old man shook his head: “Miss, you’re fine. That group of people saw that you weren’t there and were going to break in. Fortunately, an elder from the Heavenly Feather Divine Sect appeared just in time to scare them away, so they didn’t dare to cause any more trouble.”

Only then did Fang Chen slightly relax, and immediately asked, "Why did they look for me"

They say you and Miss Meng are not a match, wanting you to leave the Tianyu Divine Sect, the old man said.

Fang Chen suddenly realized, it seemed that after he and Meng Yao confirmed their Daoist partnership, trouble still found them.

He said, "Are they coming today too"

The old man said: “They know you’re not here, some have left and some are waiting for you to come back. But these days many people have left one after another, but there is one very stubborn person who basically comes every day and goes back at night.”

I understand.

Fang Chen said: "Grandpa Wu, you go to rest. I'll handle this."

"Young master, you must be careful! Those people are very strong," the old man worriedly said.

Rest assured, Fang Chen said he would definitely be more careful in the future. Only then did the old man return to his room to rest.

But after the old man left, Fang Chen's expression turned gloomy.

There is no doubt that these people came because of him and Meng Yao.

I'd like to see who wants to cause trouble.

Tonight, he didn't intend to return to his room to cultivate. Instead, he came to the gate of Qifeng Sacred Temple, cultivating the fierce sword demon technique while waiting for that person's arrival.

The next morning, Fang Chen was drenched in sweat, slowly retracting the Black Ming Sword from his hand.

The Fierce Sword Demon Art reached the third level, with both its techniques and power seeing a significant increase.

Fang Chen estimated that with his current strength and the power of the Sword Demon's body, fighting against an ordinary late Heaven Realm third-layer cultivator would be no problem at all.

But that wasn't enough; Fang Chen felt his attacks were too one-dimensional.

If you want to defeat Luo Yun within just three months, you can't just master the Fierce Sword Demon Technique. You need to master other skills and supernatural powers as well.

Fang Chen pondered all night and came up with another way to improve himself in a short period of time.

That is the way of the physical body and the way of the spirit.

After reaching the Hòutiān realm, there are two paths to choose from.

Cultivation of Taoism, Cultivation of the Body.

Cultivation includes cultivating the Tao and cultivating one's spiritual energy.

While tǐ xiū (lit. body cultivation) follows the path of fleshly refinement, its realms are: forging the physique, hardening bones, washing the marrow, transforming scriptures, golden body, divine power, celestial body, and thousand mountains.

Focus on refining the body to achieve the Gathering Spirit Realm, and then progress further.

They usually take this path because cultivators who cannot comprehend the Dao scriptures remain stuck at the Zhouyuan realm for their entire lives.

But this does not mean that the physical body is weak, on the contrary, he is very strong. Among cultivators of the same realm before the questioning path, the physical cultivator is not an opponent of the Dao cultivator.

"It's just that being poor in culture and rich in martial arts, cultivating the body is extremely resource-consuming. After all, the physical body consumes a great deal during cultivation and will suffer some damage."

If there are no heaven-sent materials and treasures, wanting to go far in the path of the physical body is a delusional fantasy.

Moreover, even when reaching the same realm as physical cultivators, Taoist cultivators are often weaker. This has led many to abandon this path.

Unlike Ke Fangchen, his physical body is that of a Sword Demon, born with the potential to excel in martial arts cultivation.

As for earthly treasures, with his current status as a top client advisor at the Wanxing Auction House, he wouldn't have to worry about them in the early stages.

Thinking of this, Fang Chen secretly said: "The Eightfold Mountain is not only a holy land for cultivation, but also a holy land for cultivating the physical body. After resolving this matter, I will go to the Eightfold Mountain to break through the Innate Realm and cultivate the Dao of the Physical Body."

And just at that moment, a figure appeared in the distance on the horizon and quickly approached.

Fang Chen immediately noticed the figure quickly approaching, and soon a man about twenty years old, bald, and rather handsome, stood before Fang Chen.

When he saw Fang Chen, his eyes lit up and he brandished the long staff in his hand! He pointed at him!

"You are Fang Chen!" he asked arrogantly.

Fang Chen nodded: “Exactly.”

The man pointed his thumb at himself, arrogantly saying: "My name is Gang Hu! The top genius of the younger generation on the third peak! At the second level of the Acquired Realm! I have already sensed a trace of the Dao's operation and hope to comprehend the Dao Wen when I enter the Innate Realm!"

Only someone as outstanding as I am deserves Dream Senior Sister! Now, I command you to immediately break your engagement with Dream Senior Sister!

The course of great principles is a precursor to comprehending the Dao through writing, but not everyone can achieve this like Fang Chen, who instantly grasped it.

The difficulty of comprehending the Dao can be said to cause 80% of cultivators to give up their dream of cultivation.

After that, being able to comprehend a sliver of the Dao's principles is already quite remarkable.

Fang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "What if I said no"

Steel Tiger, upon hearing this, was not surprised. He waved his big stick and bellowed, "Then let's have a duel! If I win, you shall break off the engagement! You will no longer be allowed to pursue Dream Master Sister!"

Fang Chen said, "I'm at the peak of the Gathering Spirit stage, while you're only at the second level of the acquired realm. Don't you think that's a bit unfair"

"The Summit of Gathering Spirits"

The Steel Tiger was taken aback, only then noticing that Fang Chen's cultivation level was truly just at the Gathering Spirit Realm.

"How can you be so weak How could Meng Jie have taken a liking to you Even if I won, it would feel like bullying you." He fell into deep contemplation.

Fang Chen found it rather amusing. This Steel Tiger may possess some talent, but his personality was a bit too straightforward. Though arrogant, he wasn't the type to bully others with his power.

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat.

If we bring this person into the Seventh Peak! Wouldn't that be perfect!

Developing the Seventh Peak can't just be done by him alone. Plus, he often has to leave the Seventh Peak, so someone needs to stay here to protect Mistress and Grandfather.

Thinking of this, he said: “I can accept your challenge, but if I win, what happens”

"Impossible!" Gang Hu said confidently. "I'm not going to lose!"

"Since this is a duel, there will be a winner and a loser. If I win, what's in it for me Why would I duel you if there's nothing to gain" Fang Chen questioned.

"Also"

Although Gang Hu felt he wouldn't lose, he also thought there was some reason in it.

He asked, "So you're saying if you win, what do you want me to do"

He was a carefree and stubborn person, otherwise Fang Chen would have left for days, everyone else had left only he stayed stubbornly here.

Fang Chen's lips curled into a slight upward arc as he said, "If I win, you join my Seventh Peak and be my errand disciple."stone-headed fool is an insult to the stones. You are utterly foolish."She didn't offer any explanation.But Yu Xian also realized that Ailing couldn't possibly have done such a thing.At such close pro...
