It was only then that they realized there was no craving for authority, power, wealth, and the like in Edward’s eyes. All he sought was to be able to continue his research and the pursuit for the universal truth.

However, between Hui He and the King of Trepidation, one of them found it hard to accept being controlled by others, while the other could not allow himself to fear others. As for Grade, he just wanted to engulf Fang Xingjian and all of the other Commanders.

Additionally, Reverend Fahui was unable to accept Fang Xingjian’s method of massacring the armies’ warriors. Therefore, none of these four people could submit to Fang Xingjian. However, Edward did not have such a problem.

The group continued to persuade Edward, but the latter had no intention of changing his mind at all.

Just then, Reverend Fahui took out the Abyss Sword and said, “This divine sword was taken from Fang Xingjian. It contains the world’s profoundness. If you’re willing to join forces with us to defeat Fang Xingjian, we can hand this sword to you for you to study it.”

Hearing Reverend Fa Hui’s words, the countenances of both the King of Trepidation and Grade turned grim. They almost wanted to stop this.

However, Hui He brought out the determination of a strong man breaking his arm, saying, “Edward, if you don’t believe this, you can go ahead and check this longsword. We definitely will not stop you.”

“Oh?” Edward had not gotten much information about the Abyss Sword in the report he had received earlier. After hearing the duo’s introduction, a hint of curiosity grew in his heart.

At the next moment, countless probing devices inside and outside of the space station were all aimed at the Abyss Sword in Fahui’s hands. Edward’s attention was immediately drawn to it.

“Hmmm? Unknown metal, and this molecular structure... Is it man-made?

“What a powerful radiation and magnetic flux...

“To think that there’s still an unknown space within it?

“Interesting...”

Edward was initially calm and indifferent like there was nothing that could draw his attention. However, his gaze was now alight.

He looked at the Abyss Sword and asked, “You said that this was obtained from Fang Xingjian?”

“That’s right,” Hui He answered and immediately shared the situation that they knew about. Then he added, “The other two swords have been taken away by Ming Wang and Akaryuu Juushirou respectively. Both of them have gone into hiding to study this sword’s profoundness.”

After that, the King of Trepidation said, “Edward, if even you are unwilling to help, then we can only consider releasing those two.”

Hearing the King of Trepidation’s words, everyone’s countenance changed. Edward, who had appeared calmed all this while, also frowned and questioned, “You’re threatening me?”

The King of Trepidation shrugged. “We can’t possibly just sit and await death, watching as Fang Xingjian kills us one by one.” Naturally, he had not really planned on doing this. He was just trying to coax and threaten Edward.

However, the King of Trepidation’s words seemed to be very effective. As he spoke, the entrance that was at the lower section of the space station opened up gradually. Then Edward continued to communicate through the ring’s energy, “Come in.”

...

In a stretch of wilderness in North America on Earth, Akaryuu Juushirou was in a fortification 12 kilometers underground. His body was emitting streams of crimson red glow which entangled toward the Light Pursuit Sword like many strings.

Countless energies and knowledge seethed to and fro incessantly, helping him to probe the profoundness in the Light Pursuit Sword.

‘It’s really... amazing.

‘Not only does this sword possess the energy of dread but the profoundness it contains wouldn’t lose out even to the Book of Wisdom.

‘As long as I’m given a few more months, I’ll definitely be able to surpass everyone and reach an unattainable height that no one in history has ever been able to reach.

‘Fang Xingjian must have relied on this divine sword to become so strong. With my aptitude...’

However, just then, the entire underground base started to tremor. Akaryuu Juushirou’s brows furrowed and he thought inwardly, ‘I specially spent a few years’ time to create this secret base by myself. This time around, I didn’t tell anyone that I’m coming here either...’

Just as he was thinking this, the big steel door ten meters away from him was sent flying. Fang Xingjian walked in slowly and calmly.

“You’re too late.” A hint of confidence flashed on Akaryuu Juushirou’s face. “I’ve already comprehended your powerful secret. Right now, I...”

Before Akaryuu Juushirou finished his words, Fang Xingjian had already arrived before him. Fang Xingjian kicked Akaryuu Juushirou’s chest at a speed that far surpassed his sensing capabilities.

Rumble!

Akaryuu Juushirou’s physical body was crushed instantly, and he dashed out toward the secret base’s roof together with the Light Pursuit Sword. He was like a crimson meteor, instantly penetrating through several tens of layers of steel plates, cement, and concrete before charging up into the sky.

Having his physical body explode from the Fang Xingjian’s kick, Akaryuu Juushirou was overwhelmed by astonishment. Consequently, he did not dare to resist at all and let out a shrill cry while controlling his red energy and disappearing into the sky with an Unbounded Leap.

Fang Xingjian broke into a smile as he watched Akaryuu Juushirou flee without turning back. Then Fang Xingjian disappeared.

In the space station, Edward was using all sorts of means to gather the information within the Abyss Sword. The more he investigated, the more filled with surprise his expression became.

Regardless of whether it was in terms of strength, density, molecular structure, or any other assessment standards, the sword had far exceeded his understanding. Furthermore, the information and knowledge contained within the sword also made him infatuated.

Just as Hui He and the others were anxiously waiting for Edward’s reply, the Green Army’s Ming Wang and Red Army’s Akaryuu Juushirou also fled to the space station.

At present, both Ming Wang and Akaryuu Juushirou already had their physical bodies crushed by Fang Xingjian. As such, they could only use their rings’ energies to keep up a form.

Thankfully, the two divine swords were still in their hands.

After a series of questions, the others got to know that the two of them had also been assaulted by Fang Xingjian.

At this moment, Edward’s eyes finally flashed with a hint of solemnness.

“Fang Xingjian... He was able to find you and defeat you with a single move. Yet, the two of you are still able to escape here.” As Edward spoke, the entire space station started moving, and over ten probing devices in all directions were activated.

Hui He also reacted very quickly, “You’re saying that he has chased them until here?”

“No,” Edward said calmly, “It’s just that since he’s able to find Akaryuu Juushirou and Ming Wang, he’ll naturally be able to find us as well.”

As he spoke, the security alarms rang off, and many screens lit up, projecting the void space over ten kilometers away from the space station. Fang Xingjian was standing there, looking in the direction of the space station.

A hint of chill rose in everyone’s heart, and Hui He said in an astringent voice, “He’s here.”

At the next second, an intense warning rose in their hearts. They saw Fang Xingjian lift up a finger and point in their direction.
