How could it be so fast?
How could it be so fast?
There were too many astonishment, fright, nervousness, and many other reactions in his mind. However, in the process of Fang Xingjian thrusting out his sword, Griffin did not have the time to deal with these reactions. He had already instinctively unleashed his Reduced Force Field.
As a Knight (first transition) expert's most basic life-saving technique, Griffin performed it at full power at the last moment.
Accompanied by the violent force shooting out in all directions with Griffin as the center, there seemed to be circles of ripples appearing in the air from Griffin's body. The air was pushed out layer by layer by the Reduced Force Field, forming explosive shock waves.
Air currents gushed forth, and Fang Xingjian felt as if the surrounding air had suddenly become extremely viscous. The Reduced Force Field enveloped him, making him feel as if he had suddenly arrived in the deep sea.
However, half of Griffin's strength was clearly not enough to stop Fang Xingjian's charge. Pushed back by the Reduced Force Field, Fang Xingjian's longsword continued to inch closer to Griffin.
The time taken for the force field to erupt and the longsword to pierce out was far too short. Just as Griffin's brain received the signals from his nerves and truly felt fear, nervousness, and astonishment, the longsword was only half an inch away from his forehead.
With a bang, just before the sword pierced into Griffin, the longsword was finally unable to withstand the pressure from Fang Xingjian's physical strength, the surrounding wind pressure, and Griffin's Force Field. It let out a crisp sound and broke into tens of pieces, shooting out in all directions.
Argh!
Griffin let out an agonizing cry. One of his eyeballs had been pierced through, and fresh blood spurted out from his eye socket. He was like an injured wild beast, frantically fleeing forward.
The speed of Fang Xingjian's sword was too fast. It was only then that Griffin's mind reacted. His mind was filled with the terror and astonishment of having almost been killed.
Fang Xingjian stood where he was, not moving, coldly looking at Griffin's frantically fleeing figure. He took a look but did not give chase. This was because, with his longsword shattered, he had already lost the special effect of 'Single Sword World Subjugation'. His strength had plummeted by more than half.
More importantly, a beam of fiery light shot up into the sky from his eyes. The First Prince had performed some unknown secret technique, and his fire clone had directly broken through Huang Lin and the Headmaster's encirclement. Carrying Griffin's body, he dashed out fiercely, disappearing from the trio's sight in an instant.
"Huang Lin, Jackson, This King will remember this matter. Let's meet at the association's arbitration."
Huang Lin's eyes were filled with killing intent as he watched the First Prince escape.
At the side, Dean Jackson seemed to have returned to his benevolent grandfather appearance. He shook his head and said, "This guy's mastery of the Purgatory Demonic Tome has become even more profound. A clone of his was actually able to escape from the two of us."
Huang Lin said coldly, "That's not an ordinary clone. It's one of his 32-page Devil's Note clones. There's a total of 32 pages in the Devil's Note, and each page can condense an extraordinary clone. Not only can the clone control the person who signed on it, but it also has 10% of the First Prince's powers. "
"It's that amazing?" Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed as he asked, "What on earth is the First Prince's second transition job? Just this specialty of being able to create clones and sign contracts is already too amazing? "
Jackson let out a bitter laugh and said, "That's the Ancient Path of Hell's second transition job, the Demon Lord. If his real body were here today, or if a few more of his clones and signees were here, we'd be the ones running. "
Huang Lin added, "Xingjian, you've always felt that the Empire is the strongest faction in the world. Then do you know that the Empire's first Emperor was the Ancient Path of Hell's Sect Master? "The Ancient Path of Hell is a faction that belongs to the royal family. In every generation, the royal family will choose the two most outstanding princes. One will inherit the throne, while the other will become the Ancient Path of Hell's Sect Master, passing down the legacy of the sect. "The First Prince is considered to be the successor to the throne. Even with the wealth of the Empire's royal family, they can only produce one Demon Lord in every generation. "As for the Killing technique he cultivates, the Purgatory Demonic Tome, it's a secret technique of the Ancient Path of Hell that's not passed down to outsiders. It contains the world's most ancient secrets."
Fang Xingjian's eyes flickered. After hearing Huang Lin's words, it was unknown what he was secretly thinking.
The Headmaster consoled him, "But Xingjian, don't worry. The Empire still has the Royal Knight Association to lead all the Knights in the country. It's not up to George Krieg to cover the sky with one hand." Moreover, Lin and I aren't nameless people either. If he doesn't succeed this time around, he won't have the face to look for trouble with you personally before the Regional Selection. As for the small tricks, we'll hold them up for you. "
'As expected, the Headmaster and Teacher also have big characters backing them up? But at the level of a Conferred Knight, how can he possibly be alone? ' Fang Xingjian sighed inwardly, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go practice first. I haven't finished today's homework."
"Mmm, go ahead." Huang Lin looked at Fang Xingjian with a gratified expression and said, "I saw your battle with Griffin earlier. Although he's not good at fighting, he's been at the first transition for many years. For you to be able to defeat him shows that you've improved tremendously over the past month. "You don't have to worry about the weapon. The Headmaster and I will think of something. You can go ahead first."
Fang Xingjian nodded and left. He looked at the broken sword in his hand and understood that his abilities were limited by the weapon. In fact, if not for the fact that the longsword could not withstand his strength and speed, he would have been able to stab Griffin to death earlier.
Looking at Fang Xingjian's departing silhouette, Huang Lin said coldly, "They're too quick. No matter how fast Xingjian's growth is, it's impossible for him and us to fend them off. "If we'd come a little later and Xingjian had been forced to sign his name on the Devil's Note …"
The Headmaster nodded and sighed, "Then it's time to contact that person. It's just that ever since he returned from his study trip, his whereabouts have been uncertain. He probably won't be able to arrive within a short period of time."
"It's not just contacting him." Huang Lin said, "To think that the armory is also in the hands of the First Prince. We'll have to think of another way to get Xingjian's weapon."
On the other side, the First Prince's flame clone was carrying Griffin as he fled frantically. Within a few minutes, he had already dashed out a distance of over ten kilometers.
The two of them landed on the ground with a loud bang. Griffin covered his eyes and said in exasperation, "That lad, that lad! I'm going to kill him! "
"Shut up!" The First Prince said coldly. Looking at Griffin who had fallen to the ground, he felt a little impatient. Griffin was indeed an expert in forging weapons and Divine Weapons, but when it came to matters related to battle, he was a complete burden.
The First Prince's flame clone continued to shrink, and in the blink of an eye, it had already turned into the appearance of a one-meter-tall child. He thought to himself, 'Huang Lin and Jackson, to think that they've caused this clone of mine to suffer a great deal of damage? 'But that Fang Xingjian's potential is really not to be underestimated. He's only transitioned into a Windstorm Sword Hero for a month, and he's already able to defeat Griffin? 'If that's the case, then all the more I can't allow him to land in the hands of others.
'The armory, the Path of Hell, the Imperial Capital, and the northern army are all in urgent need of manpower. But if this Fang Xingjian is allowed to continue to grow, he'll also become a great threat. I can't just leave him be. 'A genius like this can only be in my hands.'
The First Prince's flame eyes narrowed slightly, like two spots of dim light floating in the air.
Just then, a figure dashed out from the forest. It was Kaunitz, who had been hiding from the people in the academy and had come to the vicinity to practice his sword arts. The injury on his skull had just healed, but he was too ashamed to return to the academy. Therefore, he had been training alone in the vicinity.
Earlier, he had seen sparks descending from the sky and had thus chased after them to see what was going on.
Seeing Kaunitz's sudden appearance, the flames that the First Prince had transformed into jumped slightly, and he suddenly laughed.
He had recognized Fang Xingjian. It was because Fang Xingjian was one of the countless candidates he had signed a contract with the Devil's Note.
"Tresia's lad, as long as you give up your freedom and sign a contract with me, I'll be able to bestow you with endless power and trample on Fang Xingjian.
