Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 477: Are You Done Touching Me?

Mu Zhaohe's voice abruptly stopped, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. Who dared to tease him at this moment? The previously noisy environment quieted down as everyone looked around, trying to find the person who spoke just now.

Dongfang Haojie subconsciously looked towards Fairy Tianyin. "This voice... something's not right...."

She, too, seemed startled. That voice sounded very familiar. But how could that be the case? The person to whom that voice belonged wasn't around anymore; he was dead beyond a shadow of doubt.

The young man closest to Fang Chen exclaimed in shock, cursing and stepping back. "Brother, stop messing around at a time like this! What if you drag us down with you?!"

In an instant, the area around Fang Chen was cleared out, creating an empty space where he was the only person standing and making him stand out.

Mu Zhaohe's gaze locked onto Fang Chen, his voice turning cold. "You responded when I called out?"

Fang Chen smiled. "You called my name; I answered. What's wrong with that?"

Mu Zhaohe's eyes flashed with coldness. "I called for Fang Chen, from Grand Qian. What's your business with him?"

The next second, everyone heard a cry of shock as Dongfang Haojie rushed over to Fang Chen at incredible speed. He looked at Fang Chen as if he was seeing a ghost and he stared at him from top to bottom.

Dongfang Haojie's eyes were filled with shock, subconsciously reaching out to touch Fang Chen, feeling him all over. "Fang Chen, you really didn't die!? Are you a ghost now...?"

Fairy Tianyin also approached, staring at Fang Chen intently while trying hard to think of the possibilities.

It really seems to be him, and he looks exactly the same as before! How is that possible?!

A trace of horror appeared in Fairy Tianyin's eyes.

Fang Chen had clearly passed away, so why was he standing infront of them alive and well?

Fang Jue, who was on the verge of passing out due to the pain from his shattered bones, struggled to open his eyes and looked toward Fang Chen.

It was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, instantly making him more alert!

Seeing Dongfang Haojie's hand about to reach down again, Fang Chen furrowed his brows slightly. "Have you touched enough?"

Dongfang Haojie withdrew his hand with an embarrassed smile. "Ah... It really seems like he's still alive...."

Don't be fooled by Dongfang Haojie playful demeanor. He was just as shocked as Fairy Tianyin.

When the crowd saw the expressions of Dongfang Haojie and Fairy Tianyin, they became perplexed. "Could he really be Fang Chen?"

They knew that these two had been in Grand Qian before and had firsthand experience of those events.

"If he's really Fang Chen... then these two from the Profound Yellow Palace are in trouble..." someone muttered to themselves.

According to rumors, Fang Chen could easily slay Golden Core Realm experts. No matter how strong Yun Tiancheng was, he couldn't possibly be more powerful than a Golden Core Realm cultivator, right?

Moreover, rumors said that Fang Chen even struck a critical blow, injuring a commander-level expert from the Spirit Blood Sect.

That was someone in the Nascent Soul Realm!

A strike capable of injuring someone at the Nascent Soul Realm! How terrifying was that?!

Mu Zhaohe's brows furrowed slightly. "Are you trying to deceive us? Bringing in a fraudster just to deceive me and Senior Brother Yun?"

Yun Tiancheng appeared to be thoughtful as he looked at Fang Chen, showing no change in expression.

Fang Chen handed Little Cow Dung to Dongfang Haojie, then looked at Yun Tiancheng and said, "Fang Jue is no match for you. You can seize your hand now."

Yun Tiancheng chuckled lightly. He glanced at Fang Jue and said casually, "He hasn't answered my question yet."

"Hehehehe. Hahahahaha!"

Fang Jue first let out a light laugh, then burst into mad laughter, echoing around due to the surge of spiritual energy.

Everyone was stunned. He could still laugh so heartily while his life and death was in someone else's hands?

"What are you laughing at?" Yun Tiancheng asked calmly.

Fang Jue's laughing gradually died down, and he looked at Yun Tiancheng with a smile. "I'm laughing at you. You’re staring death right in the face and you don’t even know it."

"Senior Brother Yun, kill him. Since these people want to deceive us, let's play along with them!" said Mu Zhaohe, furious.

He then rushed toward Fang Chen, with spiritual energy surging around him. He used one technique after the other; Fire Ball, Ice Arrow, flying sword. He hurled everything he knew at Fang Chen like a madman gone berserk.

When the crowd saw Mu Zhaohe go mad, they were surprised.

Illusionary techniques?!

This scene was identical to what happened with Fang Jue just a while ago!

The crowd thought back to what Fang Jue had said earlier about him learning these illusion techniques from Fang Chen, and they couldn't help but suddenly believe that this person was really Fang Chen! The sword cultivator who was rumored to have been dead!

Everyone's expressions became solemn the next moment. After all, Fang Chen was a sword cultivator! Just that identity alone made him extraordinary within the Azure Cloud Empire!

Fang Chen slowly walked behind Mu Zhaohe, lightly pressing the sword against his neck as he looked at Yun Tiancheng. "If you kill Fang Jue, I will kill him."

Yun Tiancheng furrowed his brows slightly, gazing at Fang Chen for a few moments before suddenly pulling back. The golden-armored giant disappeared, and Fang Jue instantly broke free from his confinement. Fairy Tianyin reacted promptly and appeared in the air, catching Fang Jue as he fell.

"If I'm not mistaken, you just used the Illusion Spirit Talisman, right?" Yun Tiancheng said calmly. "I have released Fang Jue. You can also put away your sword now."

Fang Chen smiled, sheathing his small sword and dispelling the aftereffects of the Illusion Spirit Talisman. Mu Zhaohe's eyes were somewhat glazed. He glanced around at the strange gazes from the surroundings, suddenly coming back to his senses, and his face turned pale.

Another illusion!

He fell for another illusion!

"Damn it!"

Mu Zhaohe scanned around, trying to find Fang Chen, unaware that Fang Chen was standing right behind him.

Yun Tiancheng's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "Junior Brother Mu, don't embarrass the position of the Chief Disciple of the Yellow Gate. Step aside."

"Senior Brother, I..." replied Mu Zhaohe, as he turned his back to respond. However, before he could see his senior brother, he caught sigh of Fang Chen, who was behind him, and was startled, his face instantly turning extremely pale.

He finally realized that when he fell for the illusion, Fang Chen could've taken his life at any time....

After Mu Zhaohe left, Yun Tiancheng looked at Fang Chen calmly. "Are you really the Fang Chen, the famous sword cultivator from the Grand Qian?"

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "Seems like it."

Fang Chen's confirmation immediately caused a stir, and the nearby crowd of cultivators were shocked.

That sword cultivator had come back to life? Or perhaps he never died in the first place? Could it have all been rumors?

Yun Tiancheng suddenly laughed, his voice echoing across the entire lake, "It appears that everything indeed was just a hoax. Junior Brother Mu's words were not wrong. Everyone was just spreading rumors about. If everything were true, you would have been dead long ago and wouldn't be standing here."

Mu Zhaohe immediately chimed in. "Everyone, did you see that? This is the Fang Chen they speak of, who supposedly sacrificed himself. Look at him now, does he look like someone who died?"

The onlookers expressions turned odd, already starting to believe a little.

"Indeed, most rumors are not true. How can a Qi Refining Realm cultivator be strong enough to injure an expert in the Nascent Soul Realm? It's simply absurd..."

Similar words kept echoing through the air.

Yun Tiancheng, witnessing this, smiled faintly. "However, I am still fortunate to be able to meet the legendary Grand Qian sword cultivator. Perhaps we can have a friendly exchange, a little spar between us."

As he spoke, his deep blue eyes shimmered with a strange light. With his Radiant Divine Eyes, he had no fear of sword cultivators. His inheritance was even rarer and more precious than the sword cultivator lineage!
