Fortunately, these illusions were only proficient in sword techniques and could not use spirit energy. Otherwise, Fang Chen would not be able to defeat so many of them.

Bang Bang Bang...

The continuous usage of the mercury sword technique had allowed Fang Chen to gain a better understanding of the mercury sword technique.

Time trickled by, and after Fang Chen defeated the fiftieth shadow, he was finally no match for it, and was forced to leave the Sword Arts Palace.

In the history of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, the strongest disciple in the first level of the Sword Palace had defeated 256 shadows. This was the history of the first level of the Sword Palace.

Those who were able to enter the Divine Wind Sword Mansion were mostly those who were proficient in the way of the sword. Those with great talent would be able to easily defeat thirty-two shadows.

Of course, if he wanted to defeat the sixty-four phantoms, it wouldn't be an easy task.

Fang Chen rested for the night and on the second day, he continued to the first level of the Sword Arts Palace. He paid a thousand Middle grade spirit stone and continued to temper his sword arts.

The second day, the third day …

For the next five days, Fang Chen trained frantically. Finally on the fifth day that he entered the Sword Arts Palace, Fang Chen succeeded in defeating 64 phantoms in one go.

At this time, Fang Chen's cultivation had finally reached the 9th level of Refinement Stage.

After his cultivation had increased, Fang Chen's strength had become even more tyrannical. His true combat strength had already surpassed the peak of the 1st level of Qi Condensation, and was comparable to a Second Stage of Qi Transformation disciple's.

However, the mercury sword technique still had not reached the metaplasia, which made Fang Chen a little speechless.

While Fang Chen was frantically cultivating in the Sword Arts Palace, Yuwen Batian was also improving. After a month, Yuwen Batian's cultivation had reached the late stage of Third Stage of Qi Transformation, directly entering the top five of Junior Disciple. This made Yuwen Batian's name even more famous.

During this period of time, Fang Chen had finally stopped his sword arts training at the Sword Palace. It was because his sword arts had reached a bottleneck, and he needed to go out and gain some experience.

On this day, Fang Chen accepted a mission and left the Divine Wind Sword Mansion.

Normally, the missions given to Mission Hall s of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion were issued by the Sword Palace themselves, and the scope of the missions were basically the Divine Wind Mountain Range.

The mission Fang Chen accepted was to hunt and kill ten demon beasts of the Second Stage of Qi Transformation.

For the current Fang Chen, as long as he did not encounter two or more Second Stage of Qi Transformation demon beasts, he was basically not afraid.

After Fang Chen left the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, he appeared in the depths of the Divine Wind Mountain Range.

Just as he arrived, Fang Chen encountered a profound beast, but he was easily killed by Fang Chen.

"This is the result of the sword palace's cultivation over this period of time." Fang Chen said as he kept the demon beast corpse.

Following that, Fang Chen began to hunt.

Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

During this period, Fang Chen had already killed eight demon beasts. As long as he hunted two more, he would be able to complete the mission.

Furthermore, Fang Chen felt that the mercury sword technique was about to break through. He just needed an opportunity.

One day, Fang Chen was looking for a Goblin Beast, when he suddenly sensed some movement, causing him to be confused.

"Hmm? How could there be such a big commotion in the depths of the Divine Wind Mountain Range? " Fang Chen asked doubtfully.

After pondering for a moment, Fang Chen prepared to go up and have a look. The place where the sound came from was a valley not far away.

Fang Chen walked quickly, and after a while, he reached the top of the valley and stared at it.

Dong …

Just then, Fang Chen felt a tremor, and his entire body started to sway.

With great effort to stabilize his body, Fang Chen opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of the valley, only to discover that there were two young warriors battling inside.

"This …"

These two martial artists were only in their twenties, but their destructive power was too great.

"How can he be this strong?" Who the hell are they? " Fang Chen was suspicious.

At this time, at the bottom of the valley, a white-clothed man and a diabolical man were engaged in an intense battle. The white-clothed man held a longsword in his hand, while the diabolical man held a palm-leaf fan.

"As expected of the white-robed sword, it was able to perform such an exquisite sword technique." diabolical man waved the fan in his hand, blocking the white clothed man's sword aura, and laughed out loud.

"You, Yao Yun, are not bad either." The man known as the white-robed sword spoke coldly.

Hearing the conversation between the two people in the valley, Fang Chen was greatly shocked in his heart.

"white-robed sword, Yao Yun? Are they? "

Carefully chewing on these two names, Fang Chen's expression suddenly changed greatly, as if he had thought of something.

"An expert of the Qi Ranking." Fang Chen cried out involuntarily.

At this time, within the valley, the white-robed sword and Yao Yun had begun fighting once again. The two of them were equally matched, and the battle was extremely intense.

"Such an exquisite sword technique has definitely reached the metaplasia." Fang Chen opened his eyes wide and watched the two fight.

Normally, it was simply impossible to meet any Qi Ranking experts. In that instant, they had met two Qi Ranking experts.

In addition, one of them was a sword cultivator.

Crash …

The long sword in the white-robed sword's hand suddenly swung out. In the sky, a sword light appeared. This sword light contained a tyrannical strength.

"Is this the level of metaplasia?" Fang Chen was shocked.

Fang Chen carefully sized up the sword techniques that the white-robed sword had displayed, and unknowingly, he entered into a state of enlightenment.

At this moment, his mind was filled with a large amount of Sword Qi, and his heart was beating rapidly.

"metaplasia …"

Fang Chen muttered.

Boom …

In that moment, it was as if an explosion occurred in Fang Chen's mind, and in the next moment, Fang Chen fiercely opened his eyes.

mercury sword technique and metaplasia, naturally succeeded.

Whoosh …

Fang Chen felt that it was extremely easy to use the mercury sword technique now, and the power of the mercury sword technique had become a lot stronger as well.

"By chance, I actually managed to reach the metaplasia." Fang Chen said happily.

When Fang Chen was using the mercury sword technique, the two people battling at the bottom of the valley also discovered Fang Chen.

"Who?"

The two stopped their fight and shouted together.

Fang Chen knew that his location had been exposed, so he stood out and said to the people below: "I was training in the Divine Wind Mountain Range, and unintentionally heard the sound of battle, and came here."

"Hmph, to dare peek at our battle, you are courting death."

While speaking, Yao Yun wanted to kill Fang Chen, but was stopped by the white-robed sword.

"A mere Qi Refinement Realm cultivator like you dares to barge into this place?" The white-robed sword asked.

Fang Chen took out the identity badge of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, and said: "I am a disciple of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion."

After seeing the order badge, the white-robed sword nodded slightly. As a Qi Ranking Ranker, he naturally knew that the Divine Wind Sword Mansion was inside the Divine Wind Mountain Range.

"Don't tell anyone what's happening here. Hurry up and leave." The white-robed sword said.

"Hmph, you want to leave even if you came here. Dream on, so what if you are a disciple of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion?" Yao Yun said coldly, obviously not planning on letting Fang Chen go.

"Let's go …"

Since the opponent was a Qi Ranking expert, Fang Chen was basically no match for him. Naturally, he would not just stand there and wait for death, but also turn around and leave.

"Kid, hand over your life." Yao Yun roared, he suddenly waved the fan in his hand, and a ray of light immediately shot through the sky, striking Fang Chen's body.

Fang Chen's body was suddenly flung out, and as he struggled to stabilize his body, he felt as though his internal organs were about to explode.

"Yao Yun, I have some connections with the Divine Wind Sword Mansion. Let him go." The white-robed sword said.

Just now when Yao Yun made his move, the white-robed sword stopped him. Otherwise, if Yao Yun made his move, Fang Chen would have already died.

Even so, Fang Chen's body was still extremely uncomfortable.

"Hmph, you want to stop me?" Yao Yun said coldly.

"I won't let you kill him." The white-robed sword said.

Yao Yun wanted to kill Fang Chen, but was stopped by the white-robed sword. The two of them started to fight again, and Fang Chen took the chance to quickly escape.

"Damn you, Yao Yun."

Fang Chen scolded himself as he walked quickly.

The light that Yao Yun released, struck his body from the air, almost causing him to die. If not for the white-robed sword, he would not have been able to withstand Yao Yun's attack.

"The Qi Ranking experts are too powerful." Fang Chen sighed.

Yao Yun and the white-robed sword were ranked lower than others in terms of Qi Ranking, but their strength was already comparable to some Qi Hai realm experts.

"I wonder why they are fighting in the valley." Fang Chen was suspicious, but did not dare look back.

Fang Chen found a place to rest and after three days, his injuries had pretty much healed.

Five days later, Fang Chen completed his mission and returned to Divine Wind Sword Mansion.

After returning to the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, Fang Chen completed his mission and returned to his own residence.

Doing the mission was actually a small matter, mainly to find the right opportunity. When watching the white-robed sword perform his sword techniques, he gained some insight and allowed his mercury sword technique to reach the metaplasia directly.

"The current me, against the Second Stage of Qi Transformation disciples, isn't afraid in the slightest." Fang Chen said with a grin.

Adding 9th level of Refinement Stage, mercury sword technique and his tyrannical sword force, it was more than enough for him to jump levels in battle.

After Yang Hong found out that Fang Chen had returned, he went to his residence to look for him.

"Fang Chen, you're back." Yang Hong asked.

Fang Chen nodded and did not say a word.

"Fang Chen, these few days, Yuwen Batian has been in the limelight." Yang Hong said. Not long after you went out on a mission, Yuwen Batian defeated 128 shadows on the third floor of the Sword Palace. "

Hearing this, Fang Chen was also startled, he did not expect that Yuwen Batian's progress would also be so fast.

"In less than three months, Yuwen Batian will definitely become the number one person in Junior Disciple. You must be careful." Yang Hong said.

Fang Chen nodded and said, "I will."

"Oh right, I came to find you this time to tell you something." Yang Hong suddenly thought.

"What is it?" Fang Chen asked.

"In three months time, it will be the new year. At that time, Divine Wind Sword Mansion will hold a grand banquet. " Yang Hong said. After the banquet, the Tianguang Secret Realm will open. "
