In the third battlefield, Fang Yuan stood in the void, his gaze sweeping over the four people before him, a cold smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
Among these four, besides the old acquaintance, the Pope, the other three were:
Federal Saint: White
Crows' Guild President: Vincent
Iron Spine Grandmaster: Damon
"I can tell that you've prepared well for this battle," Fang Yuan chuckled lightly. "But unfortunately, no matter how many ants gather, they are still just... ants."
The tricks they have are many, but it looks like I need to end this fight quickly and assist the others.
I'm not worried about Chao'an, but Gao Shang and Mo Tianxing... They might not hold out.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, you must be joking. How could we be careless when facing someone like you?"
The Pope covered her lips and chuckled lightly, her fingers elegantly pulling out two dark golden cards.
With a flick of her wrist, the cards spun in the air and suddenly exploded!
Amidst the blazing white light, two figures stepped forward.
The figure on the left was surrounded by violent lightning, forming a flowing battle armor made of electric currents around him.
Federal Saint, Drake, known as "The Lightning Hellwalker."
On the right was a slender man, and the most striking feature was his completely black eyes, devoid of any whites.
Federal Saint, Toran, known as "The Abyssal Seer."
In the blink of an eye, the enemies increased to six!
The Pope had five Saints under her command, each of them at least a Grandmaster level, and each possessing a miraculous martial talent.
Now, all these Saints were being used to deal with Fang Yuan!
"Blood for blood!" The great saint White's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Fang Yuan. "I will use your flesh and blood to honor the souls of my fallen comrades!"
Seeing that their allies had gathered, White did not give Fang Yuan any chance to breathe and suddenly attacked!
He violently swung his arms, and countless silver threads shot out from his sleeves. The threads were as fast as lightning, instantly weaving into an impenetrable silver net around Fang Yuan!
Fang Yuan's brow furrowed as he realized that he was unable to move!
No, it wasn't that he couldn't move, but the space around him had frozen like ice crystals, completely trapping him!
This was the binding of the space law! No matter how strong the opponent's destructive power, they wouldn't be able to break this binding!
At almost the same time, Toran's pitch-black eyes narrowed as they locked onto Fang Yuan!
As the Abyssal Seer, when Toran stared at an enemy, countless threads of death would appear on their body.
Those were the final threads of fate, marking the most vulnerable points in life!
Each thread of death represented a different way of dying, and the brightest one signified the most deadly weak point!
With just a light stroke along that crimson path, the enemy's life would be cut off like a puppet with severed strings, dying instantly!
It was an incredibly powerful martial talent!
However, when his eyes fell on Fang Yuan, he felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss!
There were no glaring crimson death threads, no faint, hidden weak points, not even the slightest crack in his life's defense!
Fang Yuan was surrounded by a layer of pure, flawless aura, with no fatal point—no, there wasn't even a weak point!
Toran's breath paused slightly. How could this be?
Since gaining this martial talent, he had never seen such a phenomenon. Every mortal had a death thread, every cultivator had a weak point.
But this young emperor before him... He seemed to not belong to this world at all!
What a joke?!
"Toran, what are you hesitating for!"
The Pope's cold voice rang out. According to the established strategy, White was supposed to first bind Fang Yuan with his power, and then Toran would reveal the weak points, with everyone joining forces to strike at his vulnerabilities, a seemingly foolproof plan!
"No way!" Toran shouted, cold sweat rolling down his temples. "There's no weak point... This guy is perfect, flawless!"
"Then let's go directly!" Drake roared, and the crackling lightning on his body surged as he transformed into a lightning giant, charging at Fang Yuan with the force of a thousand tons!
With his move, the others also began to act!
Vincent gave an eerie smile, and twelve streams of dark light shot out from his sleeves. All the hidden weapons strangely altered their trajectories mid-air, sealing off all of Fang Yuan's escape routes!
Damon cracked his knuckles, and the metallic bones in his body buzzed as he transformed into a half-man, half-machine war beast!
As the second elder of the Iron Spine, Damon had fused his flesh with mechanical artifacts, turning himself into a hybrid of human and machine!
His elbows shot out bursts of flame, and with terrifying force, he struck a punch at Fang Yuan that was like a meteor crashing down!
Boom—!!!
Countless attacks gathered at one point, and the deafening explosion reverberated through the sky, engulfing Fang Yuan in a sea of flames!
The violent energy shockwave swept out in all directions, and the sea churned as if boiling!
"Ah!!!"
Amidst the deafening explosion, a heart-wrenching scream could still be heard clearly!
In the surging waves of heat, a figure could be seen twisting and struggling in the flames.
"We got him!"
Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, staring fixedly at the epicenter of the explosion. With such a destructive joint attack, even the emperor who had shaken the Eastern Continent should have no chance of survival!
"You think... shouting about friendship and bonds, charging forward with such passion, will change anything?"
Just as a fleeting sense of relief passed through everyone's minds, a cold and mocking voice suddenly echoed by their ears, as if from a ghost!
All of their pupils contracted suddenly, and they turned around sharply—
They saw Fang Yuan standing in the center of the group, his great sword gleaming coldly, replacing the position where Toran had been standing!
His robes fluttered in the wind, and a cold, sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth, as if the earth-shattering attack just now was nothing but a pathetic farce.
This is bad!
Before anyone could react, Fang Yuan had already swung his sword!
Thud!
Vincent froze in place, his pupils still reflecting the shock on his face. He raised a finger, about to use his life-saving divine ability, but a line of blood had already sliced him in half!
"You bastard!"
White roared, raising his hands as the silver threads transformed into invisible ropes, tightly wrapping around Fang Yuan's body!
Seeing this, Drake immediately swung his fist to help, his terrifying thunderous punch breaking through the air to smash Fang Yuan into a pulp!
But the next moment, Drake felt a flash of silver light before him. The thousands of silver threads that should have bound Fang Yuan had instead entangled him!
What's going on? Where is Fang Yuan?!
Drake's mind barely had time to form this thought before a cold sword wind swept from behind!
"Shh—!"
The sword light flashed like lightning!
Even though he wore a thunder armor, Drake was as fragile as paper in front of this seemingly casual strike.
He didn't even have time to scream, and was already sliced in half!
Damn it! What speed is this?!
Why is it so ridiculously fast?!
The change was so sudden, ruthless, and decisive! Everyone's expressions froze completely, terror and confusion mixing on their faces. They couldn't even scream, their voices stuck in their throats!
But Fang Yuan's sword did not give them any time to breathe!
His figure vanished again, appearing in front of Damon like a ghost, his great sword raised high, and cold light poured down!
With a bit of malicious fun, Fang Yuan deliberately slowed down the strike by half a beat, allowing Damon to finally see the death awaiting him.
Damon's face turned paper-white in an instant, his voice trembling to the point of collapse:
"Your Majesty! Please, I beg for mercy..."
Thud!
Another sword strike fell, and his begging was instantly replaced by a chilling scream!
Damon, the second elder of the Iron Spine, didn't even have the chance to finish a complete farewell, and was reduced to ashes under the swordlight!
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuan had killed four people!
