Chapter 419: Chapter 449: Defeating Zhou Hao

These words were the epitome of arrogance, instantly inciting the wrath of all disciples of the Sky Sword Sect, soon followed by shouts and drawing of swords, ready to battle Fang Yi, their emotions reaching a breaking point.

As for Fang Yi, he watched the scene unfold with a cold laugh; if he dared to speak such words, he was surely capable of backing them up.

But Fang Yi’s ultimate target was still Zhou Hao, and Zhou Hao was also looking at Fang Yi.

"You’ve angered me," Zhou Hao said indifferently.

"If you want to fight, let’s get on with it; I’m in a hurry," Fang Yi said proudly.

Zhou Hao’s eyes suddenly blazed with a sharpness like swords as he shouted, "Bring me my sword!"

As soon as his words fell, a man quickly ran out with a sword; it was Wang Yuan.

Zhou Hao took the sword sheath and swiftly drew the sword from within.

This was not an iron sword, but a golden one, its body curved and uneven, resembling a long snake.

From a high seat, Hua Huiyue raised her eyebrow and said, "This Zhou Hao has clearly won your favor, for you to have passed on the Golden Snake Sword to him—it’s quite unexpected."

Yang Chengji replied, "Zhou Hao has tremendous potential; he will surely make the Sky Sword Sect proud."

With an inexpressive face, Hua Huiyue said indifferently, "Really? Let’s see if he gets past the hurdle before him before we talk about the future."

Atop the grand hall, someone finally exclaimed in surprise.

"That’s the Golden Snake Sword! It’s rumored to be made of mithril, and a single pound of mithril is worth millions of Xuan Cang coins!"

"Elder Brother Zhou Hao actually has the Golden Snake Sword; that’s terrifying!"

"This Fang Yi is definitely doomed!"

Everyone was brimming with confidence; Zhou Hao’s martial arts were at the Earth Level four-section, and with the mighty Golden Snake Sword in his hand, they viewed Zhou Hao as invincible in attack and unbeatable in combat!

Brandishing the Golden Snake Sword, Zhou Hao said to Fang Yi, "Fang Yi, it’s not too late to bow your head and admit your mistake now."

Fang Yi replied indifferently, "I have never bowed to anyone, and I never will."

Indeed, Fang Yi never bowed to anyone; whether their martial arts was superior, their strength greater, or their abilities better, he had not once bowed down, not ever—it was his principle in life.

One should never bow down in life, for once you bow down a first time, there will be a second, then a third.

"You won’t bow?" Zhou Hao muttered to himself, then said, "Then I’ll have to beat you until you bow!"

In an instant, Zhou Hao made his move with a strike of his sword.

The move was made!

The entire grand hall was silent, everyone’s attention focused solely on this confrontation, carefully watching, afraid to miss a moment!

Fang Yi, witnessing Zhou Hao’s move, immediately concentrated his mind and faced it with all his might!

Zhou Hao was Earth Level four-section, rumored to be near breaking through to the fifth; but in the end, he was still at the fourth!

Zhou Hao’s sword thrust differed vastly from those of other disciples from the Sky Sword Sect; it was like heaven and earth!

The thrust made Fang Yi experience a moment of vertigo, believing the sword uncatchable.

This was Sword Intent!

"Sword Intent! It’s Sword Intent!"

"Elder Brother Zhou Hao has actually cultivated Sword Intent?!"

"That’s something only those with absolute talent can cultivate!"

"Elder Brother Zhou Hao is terrifying; that Fang Yi is definitely going to lose!"

Feeling Zhou Hao’s Sword Intent, the crowd was even more certain of Fang Yi’s defeat.

But at that moment, Fang Yi also made his move.

As the Golden Snake Sword thrust at him, Fang Yi instantly burst forth with a powerful presence, holding nothing back, the Divine Travel Steps unfurling like lightning. He didn’t dodge or evade, instead confronting the attack head-on.

The Golden Snake Sword barely missed cutting Fang Yi’s hair as it passed, not meeting the crowd’s expectation of striking Fang Yi.

"What?! He actually dodged it!"

"This Fang Yi does have some skill, but what comes next will be hard for him!"

While the crowd was abuzz with discussion, Fang Yi had already engaged in combat with Zhou Hao.

Fang Yi had no weapon, and although he faced the attack head-on, he dared not directly clash with the Golden Snake Sword and had no choice but to dodge left and right, launching his counterattack after evading the sword.

"Spirit Snake Swordsmanship!" Zhou Hao let out a low shout.

The Golden Snake Sword became eerily unpredictable as it moved like a spirit snake, and with Zhou Hao’s sword being snake-shaped, the execution of the Spirit Snake Swordsmanship was exceptionally bewildering, dazzling the eyes and obscuring its path.

Thrust after thrust came as quick as lightning, aimed directly at Fang Yi’s vital points—his forehead, head, neck, shoulders, and chest, repeating this pattern. The thrusts Zhou Hao delivered were meant to be fatal; a single failure to dodge by Fang Yi could result in severe injury.

But since Fang Yi understood this, he naturally would not let Zhou Hao strike his vital points.

Zhou Hao, however, was becoming impatient and shifted away from the enigmatic Spirit Snake Swordsmanship with a low shout, "Eighteen Swords!"

This shout immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

Fang Yi’s pupils constricted as he saw Zhou Hao’s steps suddenly become heavy, and with Zhou Hao’s stride, the power carried by the Golden Snake Sword grew stronger, forcing Fang Yi to step back.

"Mount Tai’s Eighteen Swords, I can execute it up to the fifteenth move. I don’t believe he can withstand it!" Seeing Fang Yi fall back, a thrill rushed through Zhou Hao. He made the Golden Snake Sword even faster.

Fang Yi could only keep retreating; he too felt a sense of danger from Zhou Hao’s sudden change in sword method.

"Look! Elder Brother Zhou Hao’s Mount Tai’s Eighteen Swords has reached the tenth move in no time!"

"That Fang Yi is retreating!"

The crowd was thrilled with excitement, watching Fang Yi seemingly at a disadvantage and Zhou Hao gaining the upper hand. They were all but certain that Fang Yi was on the cusp of defeat.

Continuing like this was certainly not feasible, he couldn’t keep retreating!

No more retreating!

"Eight Extremes Fist!" Fang Yi’s heart called out.

Immediately, Fang Yi executed the Eight Extremes Fist combined with the Divine Travel Steps, attacking Zhou Hao from all directions.

In an instant, Fang Yi brought the Eight Extremes Fist to its peak, each punch fierce, stirring up gusts of wind!

Zhou Hao’s brow furrowed, sensing the crisis deep in his heart. He couldn’t allow this to continue; he was already struggling to cope.

The fifteenth sword!

In just a moment, Zhou Hao also brought Mount Tai’s Eighteen Swords to his limit. Although it was only fifteen swords, it was the most he could manage!

Sword light, fists, without collision, yet a single misstep could result in fatal injury.

Everyone’s eyes were glued to the scene; they anticipated Fang Yi’s defeat!

The fight grew fiercer!

Fang Yi was searching for an opening, a gap for a critical strike against Zhou Hao. He knew Zhou Hao must be searching for the same.

However, Fang Yi had already found it!

Suddenly, Fang Yi launched a punch!

Mountain Breaking!

This punch, directed straight at Zhou Hao’s chest, was also infused with the power of Mountain Breaking.

What is Mountain Breaking?

One punch could leave a hole as if striking through a mountain!

And this punch, filled with all of Fang Yi’s true energy, was a testament to its power.

Zhou Hao was sent flying backwards, crashing into a stone pillar with a loud thud. As he landed, spitting blood, the bright red of his blood stained the ground. After Zhou Hao hit the ground, there was no more sound from him.

Sitting in the high seat, Yang Chengji’s expression suddenly changed dramatically, his anger flared to its extreme!

"Fang Yi! You’re courting death!" Yang Chengji stood up, ready to charge over.

But at that moment, a sudden booming explosion resonated from somewhere, reaching their location.

The ground shook, and the entire hall trembled as if in an earthquake.

"What’s going on? Is this an earthquake?"

"Quick, get out!"

Panic was extreme among the people, and even Hua Huiyue on the high seat changed color, not to mention Yang Chengji.

However, Fang Yi remained calm, knowing in his heart that Zhao Guosheng had finally made his move!
