Chapter Thirty-Three: Phantom Slash

  "Gao Jin, since you're determined to die, I'll fulfill your wish today." Fang Yan's battle intent soared, and with a loud shout, he led the charge against Gao Jin.

  "Haha... This is what I should say to you, since you insist on seeking death, now I'll send you on your way." As for Fang Yan, Gao Jin can be said to have new and old grudges. Among many people, he most wants to kill Fang Yan.

  "Hu Po Duan Hun!" Gao Jin shouted loudly, raising his knife to meet him.

  Two strong men meet and clash, Fang Yan suffered a bit of a loss in Gao Jin's Tiger Soul Knife Method.

  "Kid, it's been just a few days since we last met, and your power has surged dramatically. But you're still going to die today."

  "Pal, aren't you coming out? Today we must kill all these worthless people from the Fang family."

  Gao Jin looked at the group of Fang family descendants approaching from a distance, when suddenly there was a long whistle, and then a headless figure appeared before everyone's eyes.

  "A thousand-year-old zombie, how is this possible? Gao Jin, how can you subdue a thousand-year-old zombie?" Looking at the headless man, Fang Yan's face changed drastically. In this Sword Grave, he least wanted to see this headless thousand-year-old zombie, this guy was a monster that couldn't be killed.

  "Xuan sister, you hold off Gao Jin, I'll deal with the thousand-year-old zombie. Fang Chao, you guys work together and take down that cheap woman Wang Yanran."

  As Fang Yan's loud shout fell, Fang Yan rushed towards the headless thousand-year-old corpse that rushed out of the forest. If no one restrained this thousand-year-old corpse, only he and Fu Qingxuan would be lucky enough to escape among the Fang family members who entered the Sword Grave trial space.

  Wang Yanran was injured, and Fang Chao's group could handle it. Fu Qingxuan wouldn't kill Gao Jin, but he could still get rid of him if he wanted to. As long as he killed this headless zombie, the crisis would be half-resolved.

  "Mountain collapse."

  Fang Yan's Bung Buu Kyuu was unleashed to its limits and collided with the headless zombie, both retreating upon impact.

  "Haha……I thought this thousand-year-old zombie was much stronger, but it's actually a notch lower than the one in the Sword Grave. Killing it is possible." Fang Yan retreated, and the thousand-year-old headless zombie also retreated. Fang Yan had tested the limits of this headless zombie, which was completely different from the one he encountered in the Sword Grave. This headless zombie must have been injured, otherwise its combat strength wouldn't have dropped so much.

  "Hey kid, don't get too cocky. Although this undead slave has suffered a great loss of power, it's still easy to kill you." Seeing Fang Yan look down on his headless thousand-year-old zombie, Gao Jin suddenly coldly laughed and said.

  "Don't be distracted, your opponent is me." Fu Qingxuan sneered and started a surprise attack.

  "Fang Yan, this headless zombie is fierce, take the sword."

  Fu Qingxuan approached Fang Yan and suddenly threw the Phoenix Ancient Sword in her hand to Fang Yan.

  "Xuan sister, catch the sword." Fang Yan heard the voice and also threw his back's top-grade spiritual soldier Blood Blade to Fu Qingxuan.

  Although the Extreme Spirit Soldier Blood Blade is powerful, it's just a spirit soldier and not like Fu Qingxuan's Phoenix Ancient Sword which is an extreme fire attribute artifact that has lethal damage to these zombie ghost creatures. To deal with this thousand year old headless zombie, we still have to rely on the Phoenix Ancient Sword.

  Gao Jin knew that Fu Qingxuan's Phoenix Ancient Sword was powerful and had a restraining effect on zombies, so he wanted to stop it, but in the end, he was still one step too late. Fang Yan snatched it first and handed it over to Fu Qingxuan, but the top-grade spiritual soldier thrown by Fang Yan was deflected by his attack and didn't fall into Fu Qingxuan's hands.

  "Fu Qingxuan, without a suitable weapon in hand, you're not even my opponent. Why don't you just surrender to me?" Gao Jin sneered, his face wickedly charming as he gazed at Fu Qingxuan after sending the Extreme Treasure Spirit Blade flying.

  "Daydreaming." Fu Qingxuan snorted coldly and rushed towards the clump of grass where the sword had fallen.

  "Miss, take the sword." Without a handy weapon, Fu Qingxuan's combat power was greatly reduced. Tao Hui, who was closest to Fang Yan, saw that the top-grade spiritual sword Blood Slasher had been knocked flying by Gao Jian's long knife, and immediately threw his own long sword to Fu Qingxuan.

  "Taohui, you're looking for death." Seeing Fu Qingxuan had another long sword in her hand, Gao Jin shouted angrily and struck a tiger-soul knife towards Taohui.

  Tao Hui was an 8th-level Qi Practitioner, and at this moment, he was instantly knocked flying by Gao Jie's angry strike, severely injured and unable to get up.

  "High progress, you want to be rampant, your opponent is me." Tao Hui was injured, Fu Qingxuan was angrily rebuked, and began to attack, not giving Gao Jin the opportunity to continue attacking Fang's children.

  Fang Yan obtained the Phoenix Ancient Sword, as if he had divine assistance. He began to gain the upper hand in his battle against the thousand-year-old headless zombie. The Water Shadow Sword was unleashed, complemented by the Collapsing Mountain Fist, striking the thousand-year-old headless zombie with such force that it could only passively defend itself without any chance of counterattacking.

  "Cut!"

  A burst of Mount Bao Fist forced the thousand-year-old headless corpse to retreat, Fang Yan held the Phoenix Ancient Sword in his hand, and the true energy inside his body was like a floodgate that had been opened, pouring into the Phoenix Ancient Sword. Fang Yan's aura continued to rise, the phoenix's cry echoed, and with Fang Yan's loud shout, a massive sword energy as big as a mountain transformed into a fiery phoenix that fiercely crashed into the thousand-year-old headless corpse.

  In one strike, the thousand-year-old headless zombie was knocked flying by the phoenix's illusory shadow. The entire zombie was enveloped in flames conjured by the phoenix's illusory shadow, as fierce flames rose up, the zombie struggled incessantly within the flames, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a blazing torch.

  "Go to hell!" Fang Yan thrust his sword, the Phoenix Ancient Sword inserted into the zombie's abdomen. Then, Fang Yan used force to lift it up, the zombie grabbed the Phoenix Ancient Sword and pulled it, Fang Yan used force again, rapidly activating the Phoenix Ancient Sword, and then a head covered in corpse oil was severed from its arm.

  A thousand-year-old headless zombie had its arm cut off, and then it continued to pounce towards Fang Yan.

  "Phantom Slash!"

  Fang Yan held the Phoenix Ancient Sword, urging the Shadow Sword to slash towards that zombie. This was Fang Yan's first time using the Shadow Sword in actual combat after mastering it.

  Phantom Sword Technique, a low-grade Earth-level sword technique. Its power was far beyond Fang Yan's imagination. With just one strike, it seemed to have emptied all the physical strength from his body. The Phoenix Ancient Sword transformed into nine illusory shadows, which were as real as substance, shooting towards the thousand-year-old headless corpse. A loud explosion was heard, and the thousand-year-old headless corpse's body exploded into pieces.

  "How is this possible, how can this kid possibly wield the Phantom Sword?" The thousand-year-old headless corpse's body suddenly exploded into pieces. Gao Jin seemed to sense something and his face turned gloomy. Fang Yan was able to execute his signature technique, Phantom Slash, which was beyond his expectations. Even if he possessed Gao Jin's body now, he wouldn't be able to wield the Phantom Sword. The minimum requirement for practicing a high-level sword technique like this is to have reached the Violent Qi Realm. Gao Jin's strength hadn't reached that level yet, and forcibly executing it would only cause his meridians to shatter inch by inch. Even if he didn't die, he would become a useless person.

  "Ding, congratulations host for successfully killing enemies and leveling up, obtained 100 merit points."

  "Ding, congratulations host on successfully casting Phantom Sword on enemy, proficiency increased by 100."

  "Ding! The host forcibly used a low-grade sword technique, causing the meridians in his body to rupture inch by inch. Should the repair system be activated to repair?"

  Fang Yan's body went limp, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He couldn't muster up any strength, and then the cold system prompt tone kept echoing in his mind.

  "Activate repair system to repair damaged meridians."

  "Could this headless zombie be the strength of the Violent Qi Realm, killing it would give me 100 merit points. And also, using Phantom Slash in battle can increase my proficiency by 100, that's equivalent to half a month of practicing my Phantom Sword Technique!"

  The system prompt sounded in his mind, Fang Yan was stunned, and activated the repair system to repair the injuries inside his body. Unexpectedly, this explosion actually killed a thousand-year-old zombie equivalent to the Violent Qi Realm.

  "The thousand-year-old zombie is dead, Gao Jin. What else do you have to rely on? If not, today will be your day of death." With the death of the thousand-year-old headless zombie, Fu Qingxuan let out a tender shout and began to attack Gao Jin.
