Chapter 727: Bounty Mission
The Eastern Sea’s coast was covered in cold gale and torrential waves all year round. There wasn’t any feeling of sunny weather.
However, this place was a great place to practice the sword. At least no one would be here to disturb and Li Fuchen didn’t have to hold back in his sword art.
It was said that the sword dao didn’t have a limit. Li Fuchen might have cultivated the Meteor Fall and Void Heaven Sword World.
One was the extremity of the Union of Man and Sword, the other was the sword dao world. However, Li Fuchen wasn’t content.
He felt that he had yet to make contact with the sword dao’s essence.
As of now, the sword dao cultivation technique, Primary Extreme Sword Technique was the one that was closest to the essence of sword dao.
The Primary Extreme Sword Technique meant to be the primary source of sword dao.
It might be a sword dao technique, but be it a sword dao technique or sword art, they both contained sword dao logic and couldn’t be separated.
The cold gale blew the fist-sized rocks everywhere but weren’t able to move Li Fuchen. He was brandishing his sword in slow and quick slashes.
These sword moves were too simple and looked just like fundamental sword arts. They didn’t have any variations and were straightforward.
If there was a top-notch sword emperor here, they would be able to see that these straightforward sword moves contained countless variations. It was just like the heaven dao that couldn’t be seen and touched. Everyone’s fate felt as though they were controlled by heaven dao.
Swish!
There was a sound of the air getting pierced. Li Fuchen turned around.
Over a dozen miles away, three figures flew straight over here. The leader was a red-clothed man and he was emitting cold sword intent. It was obvious that he was a sword dao great emperor.
“Such powerful sword intent.” Li Fuchen raised his brows.
This red-clothed man was the strongest great emperor Li Fuchen had encountered. He was able to identify it with just the qi presence.
“Are you the one that killed the Black Hatchet Great Emperor?”
In just a few blinks of the eyes, the Red Star Joss Chief appeared 100 meters away from Li Fuchen.
Too many people from the Eastern Sea Town recognized Li Fuchen, therefore, it was easy for the trio to find him.
“That’s right.” Li Fuchen nodded as he didn’t have to deny. The opposition weren’t qualified for him to hide such facts.
“The Black Hatchet Great Emperor is already dead. You shall take his place.” The Red Star Joss Chief spoke in a tone that couldn’t be refused.
Li Fuchen shook his head. “Not interested.”
Li Fuchen didn’t know what relationship the opposition had with the Black Hatchet Great Emperor, he didn’t know why the opposition asked Li Fuchen to replace the Black Hatchet Great Emperor. He didn’t care at all.
“Then you shall die!”
The Red Star Joss Chief’s weapon was a dark red slender sword. Once the sword was drawn, there was a condensed sword qi that was produced out of nowhere. It then thrust towards Li Fuchen along with a gale.
This was just the sword prowess, the real kill move was within the sword prowess. But the Red Star Joss Chief was confident that no one else apart from him was able to see through the kill move.
Crackle!
Li Fuchen stood on a cliff by the sea. The cliff had a corner that was cut off. That corner was dozens of meters in size and the duo behind the Red Star Joss Chief felt their hair rising after watching the scene.
They couldn’t even see the Red Star Joss Chief’s sword trajectory clearly and could only see the outcome.
It also meant to say that if they fought with the Red Star Joss Chief, once the Red Star Joss Chief made his move, the duo would be dead.
Clang!
With the sword out of the sheathe, the Red Star Joss Chief had an indifferent expression.
In his eyes, Li Fuchen was already a dead person. Li Fuchen had yet to fall over because the sword speed was too fast.
Just as the Red Star Joss Chief was about to turn around…
“What is the meaning of this? Did you think I got hit?” Li Fuchen spoke.
“You didn’t get hit?” The Red Star Joss Chief’s eyes contracted.
“You think?” Li Fuchen mocked.
This red-clothed man was too confident, and it was a little overboard.
“How did you dodge?” The Red Star Joss Chief took a deep breath and asked.
“I didn’t dodge, you are the one that missed.”
“That is impossible!” The Red Star Joss Chief didn’t believe it.
“Believe it or not. It is my turn now. I wonder how you are going to block my sword.” Li Fuchen drew the Joint-Heaven Sword.
“I will block it.”
The Red Star Joss Chief looked at Li Fuchen with full concentration.
“Is that so?”
There was a flash of sword light and Li Fuchen sheathed his sword.
“Such a fast sword.” The Red Star Joss Chief muttered.
Bang! Bang!
Beside the Red Star Joss Chief, the two Black Hatchet Gang’s vice leaders were the first to fall.
Each of their foreheads were struck by the sword. The sword intent had already destroyed their spirit soul and true spirit.
Finally, the Red Star Joss Chief had also fallen over and his spirit soul dissipated.
At the moment of his death, he saw Li Fuchen’s sword trajectory. However, he couldn’t block at all because his body was extremely stiff. Furthermore, too many swords qi attacked in one instant and converged into one that penetrated his spirit soul.
If it was possible, the Red Star Joss Chief would never be willing to look for Li Fuchen.
As a swordsman, Li Fuchen was too much stronger.
From far away, there was a gasp. The gasp might have turned silent, but Li Fuchen still looked over.
“Senior, we didn’t mean to peak.”
A man and a woman stepped out from behind a giant rock. The man had a ghastly white face.
Li Fuchen recognized them.
The duo was the couple that Li Fuchen saw at the Flying Silver City’s street. Back then, the man even said he wanted to become a rank 1 bodyguard before they could travel to the Saint Spirit Continent. The woman was called Yu Wei.
Keeping the storage bags from the Red Star Joss Chief and the two other vice leaders, Li Fuchen said, “I know.”
The couple just arrived. Furthermore, Li Fuchen wasn’t a bloodthirsty person. Even if they were intentionally peeking, as long as they didn’t have evil intentions, Li Fuchen wouldn’t kill them.
If he was to kill randomly, that would be the behavior of the evil dao.
“Senior, then can we leave?” The man was still afraid that Li Fuchen might silence them.
“Alright.” Li Fuchen nodded.
Swish!
The couple left with rapid speed. They only stopped after flying over a few dozen miles.
“That was terrifying. That red-clothed sword emperor cut off a corner of that cliff with a single slash. Furthermore, the sword trajectory couldn’t be seen at all. It felt as though he was killing the cliff through midair.”
“However, that senior is even more terrifying. He didn’t move at all, but the red-clothed sword emperor’s attack couldn’t harm him at all. It is truly divine.”
“That’s right, the senior is too powerful. A single sword killed the red-clothed sword emperor and the two other men. They couldn’t even react.”
It was a pity that the couple was only at the low-levels of Law Phase Realm. They were far from Li Fuchen’s level and couldn’t comprehend anything.
“Mm? There is actually a peak-grade spirit stone.”
Li Fuchen opened the Red Star Joss Chief’s storage bag and noticed a peak-grade spirit stone that had half the spirit qi left.
Peak-grade spirit stones were too rare. Li Fuchen had killed plenty of great emperors and didn’t even obtain half a peak-grade spirit stone.
Of course, Li Fuchen understood that if he wanted to obtain a peak-grade spirit stone, he would need to rely on luck.
If the Red Star Joss Chief had used up this peak-grade spirit stone, Li Fuchen wouldn’t be able to see if anymore.
After all, if it was anyone else, they would certainly absorb the spirit qi within and enhance their strength. It would be foolish to keep it for nothing.
“With this peak-grade spirit stone, it will be easy for me to break through to the 6th level of Law Phase Realm.”
Back then, Li Fuchen relied on the Emperor Deep Herb and when he broke through to the Law Phase Realm, his dantian transformed. Li Fuchen’s dantian limit then immediately reached the 3rd level of Law Phase Realm. Subsequently, his body refinement reached the completion level of Law Phase Realm. When the Primary Extreme Sword Technique reached the 40th rank, Li Fuchen’s dantian was rapidly enhanced. In just a short period of time, the dantian limit reached 5th level of Law Phase Realm. After arriving at the Saint Spirit Continent’s Flying Silver Island, Li Fuchen’s dantian limit probably reached the 6th level of Law Phase Realm.
If Li Fuchen guessed it correctly, half the peak-grade spirit stone was enough for him to successfully break through to the 6th level of Law Phase Realm.
“I didn’t think that the measly Flying Silver Island is able to produce such an incredible great emperor.”
As compared to the Emperor Sky Continent, the Flying Silver Island wasn’t any smaller. But Li Fuchen knew that the Saint Spirit Continent was 10,000 or even 100,000 times bigger. Therefore, the Flying Silver Island was very small in comparison.
***
The Red Star Joss Chief’s death didn’t cause a huge commotion on the Flying Silver Island. But it was a huge commotion on the Sky Thrust Union’s Flying Silver Hall.
Inside the Flying Silver Hall, the Flying Silver Hall Master and seven Joss Chiefs were seated together.
“The Red Star Joss Chief’s strength is at least top four among us. Apart from the nine major city lords on the Flying Silver Island, there are only a few that are a match for the Red Star Joss Chief. But the Red Star Joss Chief couldn’t even endure one sword slash. Where did this person come from?” A tanned Joss Chief spoke in a serious tone.
“It doesn’t matter who that person is. Since he dared to offend my Sky Thrust Union, only death awaits for him.”
“That’s right, if the seven of us work together, we can kill him easily.”
“Three of us are enough.”
The seven Joss Chiefs were in a discussion.
The Flying Silver Hall Master, Hun Wufeng said sharply, “That person isn’t that simple. Do not be reckless.”
The Flying Silver Hall only had a total of eight Joss Chiefs. They had already lost one and if they lost more, it would be bad for their future plans.
Of course, he wouldn’t make a move personally. As the Flying Silver Hall Master, he was rarely involved in combat. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t take the risk.
His strength was much stronger than the Joss Chiefs. In the Great Emperor Rankings, even if he wasn’t top 2000, he was at least top 3000.
However, he had to be extra precautious.
If the person who killed the Red Star Joss Chief was stronger than him, then the Flying Silver Hall would be annihilated.
“Hall Master, are we going to let him be carefree?” There was a Joss Chief with an iron wristlet who spoke.
Hun Wufeng said, “That is naturally impossible. However, we have to first make clear of his strength first. After knowing the enemy, we will then be able to achieve victory. The Red Star Joss Chief died because he didn’t find out about the enemy’s bottomline.”
“How are we going to find out?”
“A bounty, anyone who can injure him shall be rewarded with a high-grade silver airship.”
“Brilliant, truly brilliant.”
Everyone looked at Hun Wufeng with eyes of respect.
If it was only to injure instead of killing, there would be countless great emperors who would chase after Li Fuchen. Furthermore, the Flying Silver Hall merely had to pay a high-grade silver airship. Most importantly, they could hide in the dark and provide the fatal strike. By then, Li Fuchen’s wealth would belong to them.
In just half a month, Li Fuchen was famous.
Those great emperors who felt they were capable had headed for the Eastern Sea Town.
In the bounty halls of the nine major cities, there was a mission that was truly outstanding.
The mission wasn’t to kill. If it was a mission to kill, it wouldn’t be posted so openly. After all, it didn’t suit the rules. However, it was different to injure as a spare would definitely have injuries.
Furthermore, no one was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to obtain the high-grade silver airship after injuring Li Fuchen. Since the bounty hall had already put up the mission, it meant that the reward was already in the bounty hall. They just had to record down the scene of how they injured Li Fuchen.
