Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 468 Plenty of Fruit!
The vast starry sea and the silent, cold void were completely torn apart by the violent energy turbulence.

Yinghan and Jiang Nianshen, these two remnant souls of sixth-rank powerful beings who once shone brightly in their respective eras, no longer possessed their former majesty.

Their souls swayed violently under Ye Xiu's relentless and insidious attacks.

The light streams of the laws that constitute the soul body continuously dissipated and dimmed, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could be completely extinguished at any moment.

Each flash of spatial jump revealed a sense of exhaustion and distress, and each condensation of the law barrier was thinner and more strained than the last.

Ye Xiu's figure moved through the sea of ​​stars at the speed of light, and every move he made was enough to shake the stars.

Because the two of them are about to run out of energy.

If they were to fight head-on, a single powerful collision could cause their souls to be scattered at any moment.

The two can only rely on their veteran sixth-tier power to buy time and delay their inevitable defeat.

In contrast, the silver-haired figure, having only recently entered the sixth stage of cultivation and not even having passed the ascension stage, showed no signs of fatigue as his power increased during this exhilarating battle.

She even deliberately suppressed some of the power she could have used to instantly injure her opponent.

By prolonging the battle, he greedily absorbed the exquisite combat techniques and profound understanding of time and space from the two veteran sixth-level cultivators in each exchange.

To do this, she didn't even use her superpowers.

"Hahaha! That was exhilarating! Though it's just a remnant soul, the skills honed over countless years are truly unforgettable!"

Ye Xiu laughed loudly, and casually flicked his finger. Wherever his fingertip passed, a space was instantly covered with spider web-like cracks, as if it had been cut by an invisible giant blade.

She watched as the spacetime barrier that Yinghan had painstakingly rebuilt was easily torn apart once again, her eyes gleaming with a cruel, cat-and-mouse-like amusement: "Let's see how long you can hold out!"

In this situation where one side was easing restrictions while the other was stubbornly holding on, Fang Can's gaze directly crossed the barrier between the two worlds.

Just by the sight of him, Ye Xiu felt a chill run down his spine, as if a great terror had descended from the sky.

This is like an absolute natural enemy, or a apex predator in the food chain, casting its gaze upon you, causing a tremor in your very genes.

'Where does the light come from?'

Ye Xiu's heart tightened. He could only sense that someone was watching him, but he couldn't find the target or detect even the slightest clue.

This can only mean that the owner of that gaze is far stronger than himself.

This level of strength is at least among the best of the sixth-tier cultivators, far beyond what someone like me, who has just entered the sixth tier, can contend with.

Then, a leisurely voice rang in her ear: "I am Fang Can, an ability user from the Star Sea. Could you please give me some face and stop for now?"

'Fang Can? That's Fang Can!'

Upon hearing this self-proclaimed title, Ye Xiu was startled, while Ying Han and Jiang Nianshen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately distanced themselves from each other.

"You finally showed up, kid. You said it was just a small problem that could be easily solved, but you almost cost me my life," Yinghan complained.

"Sorry I'm late." In the capital of Great Zhou, Fang Can said, looking at Ye Xiu's figure in the mirror with some surprise. Ye Xiu had actually reached the sixth level, which did not match his tone.

"You are Fang Can!" Upon hearing the voice from outside that day, Ye Xiu slightly toned down his arrogant tone.

"Well, I hope you can give me the honor of resolving this conflict between the two sides."

Fang Can sat back on the sofa and said calmly, "At this moment, my true body is stationed in another world and I have something to attend to, so I can only send a divine thought across the world to come."

He paused for a moment, as if he were choosing his words carefully, or perhaps catching his breath after traversing the world and feeling exhausted:
"If you can voluntarily spare Earth, I am willing to go to your headquarters after my return and resolve the conflict."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nianshen and Yinghan immediately realized something was wrong.

"Oh?"

really!

After a brief moment of shock, Ye Xiu keenly grasped the key information in Fang Can's words: he could not descend in his true form at this moment!
A smug, almost arrogant smile crept across her lips as she said, "So, you mean your true form can't come over right now?"

The slight somberness that had appeared on her face due to the interruption of the battle was instantly replaced by ecstasy and morbid excitement.

In her view, this wasn't mediation; it was a show of weakness! It was an opportunity!

Fang Can didn't hide anything from Ye Xiu's trap and responded honestly:

"Indeed, my power is insufficient now, I cannot cross realms to reveal my true form, and I cannot even transfer matter."

"At present, I can only transmit some information. Once I break through my realm, I will naturally be able to cross over and return. That day will not be long."

Upon hearing Fang Can's self-disclosure and implied threat, Ye Xiu could barely suppress the smirk on his face: "So, you're only at the peak of the sixth rank right now, and haven't even stepped into the threshold of the seventh rank yet?"

"That's one way to understand it," Fang Can said noncommittally, his gaze drifting to the dazzling array of fruits displayed on the table.

"Then why are you pretending to be such a big shot!" Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu's initial wariness completely vanished, and his maniacal laughter suddenly erupted in the silent universe, even more jarring than before.

I thought it would be really scary, but it turns out it can't come in its true form, so what's there to be afraid of?

It's just a mere sixth level of transformation. When I return, the higher-ups will naturally step in to suppress me. For now, I just need to complete the tasks at hand.

For a moment, a wicked sense of pleasure in provoking the strong arose in Ye Xiu's heart.

She suddenly wondered what would happen if she scattered Yinghan and Jiang Nian's souls in front of Fang Can, who was at the peak of the sixth level.
Although it sounds like provoking a strong opponent you can't beat is indeed suicidal.

But how many of those who can cultivate to the sixth level are mentally sound?
So this feeling of repeatedly teetering on the edge of life and death quickly became addictive for Ye Xiu, and he decided to give it a try.

The thought of this made her body tremble slightly.

The next moment, her thin lips curled into a smile, and her alluring figure doubled over with laughter: "The real body can't come? Not even matter can be transmitted? Can only pass on a few words of nonsense like a voyeur?"

"Idiot! Shut up!"

Yinghan roared furiously at Fang Can, who was nowhere to be seen, wishing she could burst through the spatial rift and yell at him: "You really had to reveal this trump card to her?! Now you're really going to be in for a beating!"

Jiang Nianshen, standing to the side, also smiled wryly and said, "Young friend, you..."

Yinghan even made a wish to Fang Can: "Tell me quickly, what you just said was actually a bait. You can actually break through space and return directly in the next second!"

"No, it's not that. I really can't teleport my true body across realms right now, which is why I said I'd give you face," Fang Can said with an awkward smile.

The next moment, after confirming that Fang Can was all bark and no bite, Ye Xiu stopped talking nonsense.

His body transformed into a destructive rainbow of light powerful enough to distort stars, drawing a black band of light through space as it hurtled towards Yinghan, whose soul was swaying.

"Hahaha, just stand by and watch them get killed by me!"

"You really got me killed," Yinghan complained, instinctively adopting a defensive stance as she watched the approaching light. But then she saw Ye Xiu grunt in the distance, his body twisting unnaturally in mid-air as he charged straight at her.

Then, like stepping on a banana peel while running on ice, it traced a crooked path in the starry sky and disappeared into the deep and vast universe.

???

Yinghan and Jiang Nianshen stared at this scene, stunned and unable to react.

A mistake? No, how could a mistake occur at the sixth level of cultivation without external interference?

"Stop guessing, I did it!"

"The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty," Fang Can said, extending his right hand with utmost naturalness.

With long, slender, and well-proportioned fingers, she picked up a plump, bright yellow papaya from the jade plate filled with rare fruits and vegetables, which exuded a sweet fragrance!
Suizhou grabbed it, took a bite, and felt the unique sweetness spreading in his mouth. Fang Can, the bystander, nodded in approval.

"You did this?" Yinghan and Jiang Nianshen were both stunned for a moment. "Didn't we say that the real body couldn't get through, and neither could material interference..."

“Yes, so I can only use the AT field to interfere at the purely informational level.” Fang Can swallowed the fruit and said calmly.

'at force...'

The moment the thought crossed Jiang Nianshen and Yinghan's minds, they immediately exchanged a knowing glance, realizing what had happened.

"Whether he's from Chu or not, I can tell at a glance. This guy fits both the definition of a beauty and a Chu person, so I've got him completely captivated." Fang Can said, taking another big bite of the papaya in his hand.

"Didn't I say before that this enemy wouldn't be too difficult to deal with?" Fang Can explained calmly. "At first, I thought that even if I didn't come back, you could easily handle it."

"It turns out that it was with my help that the enemy was so easily defeated this time."

In fact, Fang Can understood everything when he saw Ye Xiu's appearance and physical condition.

After all, his AT field was excessively strong in certain non-combat aspects; he even hacked into the terminals of online game servers and directly attacked millions of players.

The reason I initially showed weakness was that I really didn't want to resort to such underhanded tactics during the fight, so I was just being polite.

Unexpectedly, the enemy not only didn't appreciate it, but also rushed to deliver it to his door, leaving Fang Can with no choice but to... cruelly destroy it.

Fang Can: 'Alas, I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter; it has truly ruined me.'

After hearing Fang Can's explanation, the two of them simultaneously looked at Ye Xiu in the depths of the universe, their faces instantly revealing a malicious, gossipy expression.

No wonder they said the easy difficulty was so hard; they hadn't found the right method. It's a mechanics-based challenge, not just a numbers-based one.

They should have summoned Fang Can from the beginning, then applied a debuff to the opponent, and then simply crushed them.

At this moment, Ye Xiu's entire body was burning with rage, and his proud body trembled with anger.

Recalling the attack she had just launched against Yinghan and Jiang Nianshen, she remembered how an invisible hand had suddenly appeared and attacked her, causing her to lose her composure due to the intense pain.

"What...what exactly did you do to me just now?" Ye Xiu subconsciously raised his pale right arm, his face flushed with anger.

When questioned, Fang Can remained silent. Instead, he reached out and grabbed a small, delicate peach from the fruit platter in front of him, then popped it into his mouth.

These seemingly unrelated actions are like pouring boiling water into hot oil, causing it to explode.

In the present universe, Ye Xiu was struck as if by lightning, his body trembling like a leaf.

Like a patient suffering from a serious illness, he had lost all his former vigor, his face was as pale as paper, and he was barely breathing.

She exhaled thin, steam-like vapors from her thin lips, and her emerald eyes darted around, making her appear somewhat delirious.

'This...this place is weird.' Ye Xiu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and his original ambition to fight vanished in an instant.

This bizarre event, unprecedented in the past thousands of years, directly shattered her psychological defenses.

"Don't just stand there and watch."

Fang Can imitated Kakyoin's famous scene from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, savoring the delicious taste on his tongue, and kept reciting "rerorerorero".

At the same time, he also transmitted his thoughts to others, saying, "I can only control it for a short time. You guys have to deal the damage. Hurry up and get started."

Urged on by Fang Can, Jiang Nianshen and Ying Han, who were standing to the side, immediately revealed malicious smiles.

Gazing at the stunningly beautiful figure in the distance, seemingly possessed by a ghost, a strong sense of revenge rose within them.

They were beaten so badly by this madwoman, and now karma has finally come back to bite them.

Haha, serves you right!
Thinking this, the two of them made their moves at the same time, their figures streaking across the sky as they rushed towards Ye Xiu in the distance.

The energy that had been saved during the previous battle was used up without any hesitation.

'Not good!' Ye Xiu sensed danger approaching from afar. A sliver of her attention was diverted to look up, and her beautiful emerald green eyes suddenly narrowed.

In her eyes, the hands of the two people in front of her overflowed with countless world-destroying streams of light, enough to wash away and annihilate stars. If one were hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

'I must dodge this attack!' Ye Xiu thought to himself, and then forcibly controlled his exhausted body, preparing to escape at faster-than-light speed.

'Hmph! Trying to escape!'

"You'll regret it if you don't listen to reason; it's too late to back out now!"

A cold glint flashed in Fang Can's eyes, and then he showed no mercy to the fruit he was holding, taking a sharp bite.

The next instant, Ye Xiuhua's body suddenly stiffened, and with a cry, he fell directly from the faster-than-light state.

This delay will make it much harder to escape again.

She watched helplessly as a world-destroying beam of light, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, enveloped her, followed by intense pain that pulled her back from her daze.

The next moment, Ye Xiu's battered body managed to escape from the combined attack of Ying Han and Jiang Nianshen.

However, Ye Xiu's condition had greatly deteriorated at this moment, and it would take at least several breaths for him to fully recover.

'So one blow wasn't enough to defeat him? Looks like I'll have to use my full power.'

As Fang Can spoke, his gaze fell upon the platter in front of him, which was filled with various fruits and vegetables.

The items included cantaloupe, Chibi Maruko-chan, watermelon, broad beans, bamboo shoots, and more.

'But something's still missing!'

Fang Can thought for a moment and then transmitted his voice, "Someone, bring out the fried fish!"
