Chapter 175: Fang Can's Greed!

Clang Clang Clang!!!

Dang Dang Dang!!!

As the spear shadows clashed, the two fought and killed their way through, leaving a trail of ruins and trenches wherever they passed.

Seeing that Fang Can, unable to resist, was already bearing wounds under his assault, Xiang Longtao laughed loudly and said:

"Fang Can, you are already in a losing position, so stop thinking about resisting and submit to me obediently."

"Though we both use spears, even if your skill is exquisite and subtle, under my Overlord Spear Intent that merges with my heart-image, you will still be suppressed to a disadvantage."

To this, Fang Can remained silent, merely letting out two cold laughs, then immediately grabbed the spear tip and surged upward.

At this moment, on his panel, the countless techniques he had just learned had already transformed into nourishment to feed back into himself.

Fang Can was extremely greedy, unimaginably greedy.

What he wanted was not merely victory.

If it were simply about killing the opponent, if that were all, Xiang Longtao would never have lived until now.

What he wanted was to crush the opponent thoroughly, fairly and squarely, in the area where the opponent was most skilled.

Since you are number one in spear techniques, then I will use the spear to defeat you.

If your heart-image is invincible, then let us test whether my heart-image can match it in power.

Overtaking is the very essence of this battle.

Seeing Fang Can who refused to admit defeat, Xiang Longtao made a judgment in his heart and increased the force of his spear thrust by another notch.

Today, he was determined to subdue Fang Can!

Watching the young man who was gradually struggling to hold on, the corner of Xiang Longtao's mouth curled up high, but in the subsequent clash, Fang Can's thrust, which merged with the wild and savage spear intent, made his expression dazed.

Retreating two steps in disbelief, he suddenly stared at Fang Can: "How is this possible? How did you learn the Overlord Spear of my Chu family?"

"Didn't you, Great Imperial Prince Chu, teach it to me? It is indeed somewhat difficult; I actually spent nearly half a stick of incense time learning it. This level of difficulty is enough to be proud of," Fang Can mocked.

"Learned on the spot... and used on the spot?"

Recalling that move Fang Can had just performed, Xiang Hongtu clearly knew this was absolutely the most orthodox Overlord Spear technique.

Seated at the very top of the Twin Imperial Towers in reality, the current Emperor of Great Chu's eyes flashed with killing intent.

Even the Great Expansion Divine Lord, who once suppressed the entire world back then, did not possess such ability.

Possessing such talent, this child will inevitably become an enemy of Great Chu in the future; he has already earned the way to death.

"This is impossible!" Xiang Longtao could not accept it, but what greeted him was Fang Can's unreserved upward thrust with his hand.

That familiar spear intent made him instinctively turn his head to the side.

The hair at the side of his ear was pierced through; the terrifying residual force directly shattered the courtyard wall behind him from more than ten meters away.

On the right side of his cheek, a tiny wound appeared, with thin streams of fresh blood oozing out, and a faint smell of blood spread through the air.

"Don't zone out; the battle has only just begun."

Fang Can's white hair danced in the wind; the torn wounds had already healed. He lightly spun a spear flourish, his smile peaceful.

In merely an instant, the two clashed together again, but Fang Can, who had now learned the Overlord Spear Intent, wielded the long spear with even greater ease and mastery.

Feeling Fang Can's relentless barrage of powerful strikes, Xiang Longtao's face grew increasingly gloomy.

Because he could clearly feel the terrifying speed of his opponent's improvement in technique.

The battle continued, but the situation began to reverse; the scale of victory started to tilt bit by bit toward Fang Can.

If this continues, the white-haired youth on the other side will inevitably be the final victor.

'How is this possible! How can I lose! I am carrying the expectations of the Emperor on my shoulders!'

Watching Fang Can's increasingly fierce assault, Xiang Longtao's consciousness returned to last night, when he had come to the imperial palace to meet the Emperor.

"Father Emperor, what business do you have with your son?" Xiang Longtao asked.

"I already know about your duel with Fang Can tomorrow," Xiang Hongtu clenched his fist and said in a heavy voice: "So I want you to do one thing."

Xiang Longtao looked up and said: "What is it? Please instruct, Father Emperor."

"I want you to kill Fang Can."

Xiang Hongtu sat on the dragon throne and said coldly: "Even if you, my son, ultimately cannot resist and are defeated, you must use your life to inflict a fatal wound on Fang Can."

"As for what comes next, leave it to others to join forces and eliminate Fang Can together. In any case, that Fang Can must not obtain the first-place reward of the grand competition; otherwise, the consequences will be endless."

'Father Emperor thinks I cannot defeat Fang Can? How is this possible? How could I possibly be unable to defeat Fang Can!'

Xiang Longtao looked up in confusion, but saw the face of Xiang Hongtu before him transform into Fang Can's features, a mocking smile on his face:

"Daring to zone out while fighting me, do you think I would give you the chance for a flashback?"

Fang Can's long spear slashed diagonally upward; the Eight Treasures Tuolong Spear in Xiang Longtao's hand became unstable, slipped from his grip, and plunged into the ground, the spear tip pointing directly at the young man's throat.

'I, who am number one in spear techniques... actually lost on the spear?'

Xiang Longtao was somewhat panicked, but then saw Fang Can slowly withdraw his spear.

"The fight wasn't satisfying enough; let's continue."

As he spoke, Fang Can kicked the long spear at his side with his toe, preparing to kick it back into Xiang Longtao's arms.

But the young man, enraged by humiliation, suddenly slapped the flying long spear with one palm; with the sound of a sonic boom, the entire spear pierced through the air and vanished completely.

"... Interesting." Fang Can's expression was slightly stunned, then he smiled, inserted the Xuanhong into the stone slab, put his hands in his pockets, and said: "No more spears? Fine, in that case, you choose."

"What will you use next? Fist Technique or Palm Technique? You can also choose the battle location; whether it is the earth or the sky, I don't care."

"In the end, the only victor will be me."

As he spoke, Fang Can's tone was incredibly relaxed; he had always been greedy, and even in victory, he wanted to win with glory.

Inside the Great Expansion Imperial Palace, with Fang Can's victory, Prince Qing raised his wine cup and toasted from afar toward Hearing Liu Qingmeng: "This humble one congratulates the Liu Sect Master's outstanding disciple on securing the first victory in advance."

"Fang Can does not count as my disciple; I merely offered some guidance. The technique he cultivates is self-created; reaching this point relies entirely on his talent; what does it have to do with me?" Hearing Liu Qingmeng shook his head and said.

"So it seems that Fang Can has not yet joined any sect."

The Master of the Upside-Down Gate smiled and said, "I see his body-hardening physique is not ordinary; why not enter my gate for further cultivation? His future achievements will surely be limitless."

"If Fang Can is willing to cultivate, I will naturally not stop him," Hearing Liu Qingmeng said in a flat tone.

Meanwhile, on the scene, watching Fang Can's current appearance, Xiang Longtao ground his teeth, feeling that he had been insulted in return.

"Good, good, good, I admit you do have some skill."

Fang Can tilted his head and pressed, "Just some?"

Xiang Longtao:...

Without further words, Xiang Longtao's iron-like body tensed; the next moment, he attacked Fang Can. Under the full exertion of terrifying power, the ground instantly collapsed.

A new battle began again, but this time Xiang Longtao's state of mind was completely different from before.

And several li away, the white-robed maiden sitting in meditation furrowed her brows; she was only one step away from ascending the Path to Heaven.

From now on, she only needed to break the mystical barrier of confinement to fully step into the First Transformation; at that time, the false would become real, and the power of the mind would turn into substantial energy—that would be a gap between heaven and earth.
