Absolute light brought with it absolute darkness.
Faced with Fang Xingjian's level 20 Radiant Light Sword Technique, even Jackson could forget about opening his eyes. His eyes were being harassed by the Radiant Light Sword Technique, and his ears were being attacked by the Demoness' Howl. Both his sight and hearing were no longer able to capture Fang Xingjian's movements.
He could only rely on his Heaven's Perception to sense and battle, and this made him feel slightly unaccustomed. It was precisely this slight unfamiliarity and the fact that Fang Xingjian had already gotten used to living and battling in the dark. This slight difference allowed Fang Xingjian to escape for over ten seconds, escaping tens of kilometers away.
Despite this, the outcome of the battle was still unknown. However, Jackson stopped and looked quietly in the direction where Fang Xingjian had disappeared.
He looked at his hands and sighed, "My old friend, if this is the case, you won't blame me when you come back, right?"
…
In the shadows, Fang Xingjian spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though Jackson had not gone all out, the attack that had brushed past his body had still caused him to suffer internal injuries.
However, with Internal Healing, Internal Training, and his Elementary Berserkness physique, his injuries started to heal bit by bit very quickly. He paused for a moment. Although he had not fully recovered, it did not affect his movements. He then headed for the place they had agreed on.
Like a cool breeze brushing past the night sky, Fang Xingjian quickly followed Kirst's alleys and arrived at an underground sewer. He had only gotten this idea after seeing the black market the other time.
In the pitch-black sewer, Robert and Anthony were waiting anxiously. Next to them was Kaunitz, who was tied up like a dumpling.
Kaunitz's face was pale and filled with fear. The fear of death was like a hand grabbing onto his heart, causing his expression to turn increasingly grim.
When he saw Fang Xingjian appear before him, he struggled intensely, and the flesh on his face trembled incessantly. It was as if he had seen a ghost from the legends.
Fang Xingjian did not look at Kaunitz for long. Through his senses and hearing, he could tell that Robert and Anthony were both very nervous, even a little afraid.
It was obvious that they were feeling a sense of fear and unease towards the future after what they had done today.
Fang Xingjian knew that if he didn't do anything, these two people might cause trouble.
Sensing Kaunitz's condition, Fang Xingjian's heart suddenly surged with a kind of desire. It was a secret that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, resulting in a kind of pressure. It was also a shackle to his soul and a shadow in his consciousness.
Fang Xingjian suddenly felt that if he could remove this layer of pressure, his mind would be freer.
Today was a good opportunity.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Kaunitz, do you know why you lost?"
Kaunitz kept struggling and whimpering, but his mouth was gagged and he couldn't say anything.
Fang Xingjian thought nothing of it. He suddenly took a step back and started to perform a set of sword techniques.
It was the Tresia Clan's Descent of Holy Light. After performing this set of sword techniques, he performed the Silver Moon Prayer Sword Technique. After that, he continued to perform the same set of sword techniques. After performing all of the Tresia Clan's sword techniques, Fang Xingjian then went on to perform over thirty sets of sword techniques from the other clans and sects.
His performance speed was very fast, and he would usually only show the best few moves of a set of sword techniques.
At the start, Kaunitz continued to struggle, completely ignoring Fang Xingjian's sword techniques. However, slowly, slowly, his eyes became very round, as if he was looking at the sun rising from the west. He looked at Fang Xingjian, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Although Robert and Anthony did not cultivate sword arts, they could understand what Fang Xingjian had just done. He had actually learned over thirty sets of sword techniques by himself? How was this possible?
Looking at the trio's astonished expressions, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Do you understand now, Kaunitz? There's only one reason why you've failed.
"You've found the wrong opponent.
"My talent in sword arts is the best in the world.
"It's not just that I've learned all of Tresia's sword techniques. In this world, no matter what sword technique or move it is, as long as it's placed before me, I'll be able to pick it up and master it. It's not just you. In less than a year or two, I'll completely surpass the First Prince, chop off his head, and let him accompany you."
Just as Fang Xingjian said these words, Kaunitz's countenance turned ashen, his eyes filled with unwillingness, despair, and regret.
'Why?
'Why is there someone like Fang Xingjian in this world?
'Why is there someone like you in this world?'
Of course, Fang Xingjian was not interested in listening to his inner monologue, nor did he want to take off the cloth to listen to his long-winded ramblings. He just pierced through Kaunitz's heart and body.
He sensed Anthony and Robert, who were next to him, and discovered that their heartbeats and blood flow had slowed down. The two of them were no longer as afraid and nervous as before. Instead, they looked at Fang Xingjian with slight agitation and asked, "Xingjian, is what you said earlier true?"
"Your talent is that amazing? But … how is this possible? There's never been such a person in this world before. "
"Now there is." Fang Xingjian said, "When you guys go back later, just pretend that nothing has happened."
After revealing a portion of his talent and appeasing Anthony and Robert, Fang Xingjian said, "Alright, I'll be leaving."
After revealing his talent and then killing Kaunitz with a single sword attack, Fang Xingjian felt a sense of relief in his chest.
One was that a secret that he had kept in his heart for a long time had been revealed, dispelling the shadow that had been shrouding his heart for a very long time.
The other was that Kaunitz, who had been in a tangle with him for almost a year, had finally been killed by him easily.
A sense of relief and tranquility welled up in his heart. He could feel that his mental cultivation method was starting to achieve a breakthrough.
He let out a deep breath, as if he had exhaled all the troubles in his heart.
Mental cultivation method, Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar, had achieved a breakthrough, rising from level 3 to level 4.
The Ether Sword Ripples had also increased from 1.5 times his strength to 2 times his strength.
As his mental cultivation method started to achieve a breakthrough, there seemed to be many indistinct things gushing toward him in the air, as if they would gush into his brain at any moment.
Through the continuous exchange of information regarding Heaven's Perception with Manny, through the experience of a level 25 Conferred Knight's skull, through today's revelation of his secret to release his body and mind, and through killing Kaunitz, he had fulfilled another wish.
Relying on his unrivalled talent and determination, Fang Xingjian had finally obtained a hint of inspiration regarding Heaven's Perception.
He could sense that as long as he continued to polish his spirit, he would truly be able to step into this realm and start to advance in the direction of transcending mortality and entering sainthood.
His voice also seemed to become ethereal, slowly entering Anthony's and Robert's ears.
'The matter in Kirst has come to an end.
'I've already obtained the true opportunity to attain Heaven's Perception.
'Now, I'm going to stay far away from people and society. I'm going to polish my spirit bit by bit in absolute peace.
'I'll be back before the Regional Selection. By then, I'll definitely have attained Heaven's Perception.
'You guys stay in Kirst and don't do anything unnecessary. As for the tuition fees for the classes, help me arrange for a refund …'
By the time he said the last two words, Fang Xingjian's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. Before Anthony and Robert, Fang Xingjian's silhouette slowly dissipated, eventually disappearing.
Fang Xingjian's departure was like a stone sinking into the ocean. There was no more news from Kirst, and they were completely immersed in various comprehensions.
