Chapter 527 - 405: Arrival of the Sword God
"Sword God... Fang Zhuo!" The Azure Moon Flame Emperor watched the man in front of him cautiously.
Fang Zhuo walked slowly around Zheng Yi, looking at the Enlightenment Master of the Nether Spirit Race with a faint smile.
Zheng Yi also took this opportunity to clearly see Fang Zhuo’s appearance.
This guy wasn’t particularly handsome, but his entire being exuded a carefree and unrestrained aura.
He wore a long robe in a blue-gray hue, his hair casually held up by a wooden hairpin. Besides the sharp sword in his hand, he had nothing else on him.
What surprised Zheng Yi the most was that Fang Zhuo’s sword wasn’t an exceptionally powerful Magical Artifact. Even from his perspective, it was nothing more than an ordinary treasured sword, perhaps just well-forged at best.
In the ordinary world, it could count as a Divine Soldier or sharp weapon.
But in the Cultivation Realm...
Such a weapon was no different from scrap metal.
Yet, it was this very sword that made the previously arrogant Azure Moon Flame Emperor so wary.
But soon, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor sneered, "Fang Zhuo, you seem to have arrived half a cup of tea earlier than expected, haven’t you?"
"How foolish, to waste so much energy for some worthless beings."
"Do you have the confidence to win if you face me now?"
Zheng Yi quickly retorted, "Old man, although the Sword God has consumed a lot, you’re not much better, right? Didn’t that Fiery Sun God Technique of yours also consume a lot?"
"Do you really think your bluffing little tricks can fool me?"
He was afraid the hastily arriving Fang Zhuo would be swayed by a few deceptive words from the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.
Regarding the intelligence of the Canglan Realm’s natives, Zheng Yi had lost all hope.
Sword God Fang Zhuo, somewhat astonished, glanced back at Zheng Yi.
Golden Core Stage indeed.
Since when did the younger generation on the Human Race’s side become so bold? Daring to step out in the confrontation of two Enlightenment Masters?
He hadn’t even taken action yet.
He was in a state of high alert. Forget about the Golden Core Stage, even under his Sword Qi suppression, just standing was considered a remarkable feat, let alone speaking.
Yet, Zheng Yi not only dared to speak but also dared to mock the Azure Moon Flame Emperor, an Enlightenment Master.
"Kid, who are you? Which sect’s disciple are you?"
Facing the strongest combat force of the Human Race, even Zheng Yi didn’t dare to be too careless and quickly clasped his hands in respect, "Senior, I am not from this world..."
Zheng Yi quickly and briefly explained his background to the Sword God before him.
"Another world?" Fang Zhuo looked pensive.
Seeing Zheng Yi chatting freely with Fang Zhuo, completely ignoring him, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor was instantly enraged.
"Fang Zhuo, do you underestimate me?" With a palm strike, the fiery power easily enveloped Fang Zhuo and Zheng Yi.
Fang Zhuo casually slashed with his sword, the Sword Qi easily shattering the palm force of the Azure Moon Flame Emperor.
"As an Enlightenment Stage expert, to attack sneakily while others are talking, isn’t that inappropriate?"
"Fang Zhuo, compared to the last time we fought, your cultivation hasn’t progressed much, has it?" The Azure Moon Flame Emperor probed some of Fang Zhuo’s depth from this attack, speaking with some pride.
In the face of provocation, Fang Zhuo remained laid-back and carefree, "Even so, it’s still enough to deal with you."
"We’ll only know after we try." The Azure Moon Flame Emperor’s aura suddenly surged, seeming ready to seriously battle Fang Zhuo.
Zheng Yi did not want them to fight.
Even though he had never seen Enlightenment Masters battle, judging by the Azure Moon Flame Emperor’s earlier use of the Fiery Sun God Technique, he could roughly guess the scene.
Without the protection of the Mountain Protection Array, Wenxian Temple could likely be destroyed by just the residual impact of these two guys’ attacks.
"Sword God Senior, let the other senior come out. Since this old guy wants to fight, we needn’t be polite, right?"
"Even if we can’t keep him, if we can severely injure him, the situation we face could be greatly alleviated, couldn’t it?"
"Huh?" Fang Zhuo seemed bewildered.
He didn’t quite understand this youngster’s words—what did he mean by letting another person out?
In such a short time, he was the only one in the entire Human Race who could make it to Wenxian Temple to support.
Seeing that expression on the opponent’s face, Zheng Yi sighed inwardly.
As expected, in terms of intelligence, the people of this world never failed to disappoint him.
The Human Race should be able to detect the anomalies on the Nether Spirit Race’s side.
Yet, the other side sent out an Enlightenment Master, and they really only sent one Enlightenment Master to respond, without even a coordinator.
Were they not afraid this was just a blinding technique of the Nether Spirit Race?
In reality, another Enlightenment Master might already be hidden, waiting to betray the Human Race experts?
Zheng Yi wasn’t surprised the Nether Spirit Race hadn’t prepared such a move.
After all, the Azure Moon Flame Emperor acted to avenge his son, impulsively invading the Human Race’s territory.
But these cultivators hadn’t even considered other possible scenarios, was it not a bit too naive and childish?
Initially, the Azure Moon Demon Monarch was indeed startled by Zheng Yi’s words.
If there really were two Enlightenment Masters here, he would undoubtedly be in dire straits today.
But seeing Fang Zhuo’s bewildered appearance, how could he not know the truth?
