Chapter 385: % depends on hard work, % depends on fate, and the remaining % depends entirely on strength

Compared with the four states of Yun, Qu, Kang and Yu which were in turmoil, the capital city was still a scene of peace and prosperity, bustling and bustling.

In Xingwu Village, everyone was doing their own thing, and nothing was different from before.

In the study, Fang Xun was marking volumes one by one, and after finishing each one, he would throw it to Liu Tianyun and the other two.

They will then return it to the person concerned or hand it over directly to Zhen Yangzi according to Fang Xun's comments.

During his spare time on weekdays, Fang Xun would also give the three of them some pointers, which made the three of them feel like they had found a treasure.

Before he knew it, Fang Xun had finished today's work. When he looked at the sky outside, it was still some time before noon.

"It's alright today, you guys are free to move around."

After casually sending Liu Tianyun and the other two away, Fang Xun went straight to the quiet retreat room and quickly entered a state of meditation, his mind immersed in the martial arts hall.

Soon, his figure appeared again in the familiar first building of the borderland.

Seeing him coming, Xiang Yutian leisurely poured wine into the glass, but Fang Xun smiled and said, "I have benefited a lot from discussing and exchanging insights with Brother Xiang over the past four months."

A cynical smile also appeared on Xiang Yutian's lips.

"It can be seen that Brother Fang's aura is becoming more and more unfathomable. Although I have made significant progress, I am afraid I will not be Brother Fang's opponent if we really fight.

But at least we had a good chat, so I toast you with this glass of wine."

He seemed to have noticed something as well. As he spoke, he filled a glass of wine. Then he shook his wrist and the glass spun straight towards Fang Xun's face.

The glass was full of wine, but not a drop was spilled.

Wow – Wow –

When Xiang Yutian made a move, the outside world was calm, but Fang Xun immediately realized that the true energy in his body was surging and roaring like waves hitting the shore.

In an instant, although there was no earth-shattering event, the power attached to the wine glass was condensed to the extreme.

This force was enough to flatten the area within a hundred meters around the two of them, but Xiang Yutian handled it with ease, and directed it all towards Fang Xun without causing any impact on anything around them.

The higher the realm, not only is the power more terrifying, but the control over the power also becomes more refined.

Having power but being unable to control it will only backfire on yourself.

Facing this attack that seemed to be a natural outcome, Fang Xun kept a smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly and his sleeves moved without wind, sticking to the wine glass in an instant.

"Brother Xiang, you are too polite. I should be the one toasting you with this glass of wine."

As he spoke, his sleeves seemed to swing lightly, causing the wine glass in the air to swirl and float towards Xiang Yutian.

Not only did he send back the power that had been condensed to the extreme, he also added a cold and invisible sword energy.

Xiang Yutian's eyes lit up when he saw it. Fang Xun's Tai Chi Flowing Clouds and Flying Sleeves was a move that used the opponent's force to counter attack, which was simply perfect.

The outside world was calm, but he only felt an overwhelming force pressing down on him, accompanied by a sharp edge that made his brows hurt.

But Xiang Yutian's smile did not diminish at all. He reached out to take the wine glass with a big laugh.

"Okay, Brother Fang, I can't refuse your kindness. I'll drink this glass of wine first as a token of my respect."

boom--

The moment he caught the wine glass, there was a loud bang, and all the wooden and stone buildings within a hundred meters were reduced to dust in an instant.

It also exploded into flying sword energy, carving bottomless gullies on the ground.

Within a radius of 100 meters, only the First Building of the Borderland remained intact, as if the inside and outside of the building were two worlds that had no influence on each other.

Xiang Yutian smiled carefreely and drank the wine in the glass.

"The universe can only be seen in a small space. Fang Xun's Tai Chi flying sleeves are so powerful that I have to admit defeat. All good things must come to an end. Take care!"

After saying this, his body became transparent and he quickly disappeared like a bubble with a carefree smile on his face.

Just now, when he threw the cup to Yutian, Fang Xun not only caught it steadily but also returned a stream of sword energy to him.

Although Xiang Yutian caught it, he could only transfer the force to the outside world and was unable to resolve it. He only managed to protect the first building of the borderland from being affected.

Fang Xun looked at Xiang Yutian who was slowly disappearing, and raised his glass solemnly in response.

"Brother Xiang, have a safe journey!"

After finishing the wine in the glass, he was the only one left in the First Building of Borderland.

“He’s also a wonderful person.”

Fang Xun smiled, then silently recited a sentence in his heart and began to absorb Xiang Yutian's martial arts memories and insights.

Xiang Yutian knew that he was no match for him and was too lazy to have a serious fight, so he had an unconventional contest in this way and admitted defeat readily.

He plays with the world, doesn't like any constraints, and does what he wants. This unique personality also makes Fang Xun feel deeply moved.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Xun, who had calmed down, returned to the martial arts hall. At this time, the third name on the fifth gate also appeared.

[Xiong Ba, Yang Shen Realm, from "Feng Yun", to be defeated]

"Boss Xiong."

Fang Xun's face suddenly became ambiguous. When he mentioned Gang Leader Xiong, the first thing that came to his mind was 'three parts return to vital energy, and seven parts depend on fate'.

"Feudal superstition is really harmful to people. It made Boss Xiong play a good hand badly."

With this strange feeling, Fang Xun continued to push open the fifth door.

After a dizzying moment, when Fang Xun opened his eyes again, he found himself once again at the Tianxiahui headquarters located on the top of Tianshan Mountain.

The Third Branch School Field is still the same Third Branch School Field, with no major changes from the last time Jue Wushen was killed, and Xiongba is also sitting on a high platform in the field.

Seeing Fang Xun coming, he immediately stood up, stretched out his hand and pointed a finger, and the domineering finger force shot out through the air, and the three elements circulated endlessly.

The wind is as emotional as it is fierce, the clouds are as wild as they are fierce, and the frost is as tough and steady as a mountain. This is exactly - the Three-Point Divine Finger.

boom--

As soon as Xiongba made a move, the high platform collapsed, and the surging finger force caused the floor of the Third Branch School to fly into pieces.

Fang Xun's eyes lit up and he seemed to be delighted to see the prey. He clenched his five fingers together and forced the essence of the world around him into his palm, condensing it into a domineering punch to meet the Three-Point Divine Finger.

Boom——

But the endless momentum of San Yuan was broken by pure power in an instant, but the power of the fist did not diminish. After breaking the finger force, it continued to bombard Xiongba in the face.

His face immediately froze, and suddenly the wind came from his feet, and the Wind God Kick was performed. The strong wind swept his figure in waves, and he flew into the air like a whistling wind. Fang Xun also retracted his fist after seeing this, and stood quietly in place, watching Xiongba land and stand still again.

slam-la-

Then the mud, sand, bricks and stones that had just been lifted up fell to the ground like raindrops. In the smoke and dust, the two men's eyes met.

After a while, Fang Xun finally said with a smile: "Boss Xiong, they say that guests from afar are welcome, but this is not the way to treat guests."

"Either side wants to decide life or death, so he is a bad guest. I don't have the habit of speaking nicely to bad guests!"

Xiong Ba stood with his hands behind his back, his aura was as deep as the ocean, and his voice was extremely domineering and tough.

Fang Xun immediately shook his head and laughed when he heard this: "Boss Xiong, do you know what your biggest failure is?"

"It's nothing more than success or failure," Xiong Ba said calmly, "I don't believe in fate, but I still can't defeat it."

Fang Xun's face turned strange after hearing this: "Boss Xiong, let me tell you something: 30% depends on fate, 70% depends on hard work, and 90% depends on strength!"

Xiongba's face froze, and he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly he burst into laughter. His loud laughter caused a strong wind to blow on the top of Tianshan Mountain, and a gust of flying sand and rocks pierced the smoke that had just risen.

"Hahaha, you're right. Warriors like me don't believe in fate. We only believe in our own fists. If fate can decide everything, then what's the point of training hard in winter and summer?"

With a long roar, Xiong Ba clenched his five fingers together, the luxurious cloak behind him fluttered, and he threw a punch with a loud bang.

This punch brought about a bone-chilling chill that instantly caused frost to condense on the ground, and drops of ice formed in the air, but they were extremely cold and hard.

Sky Frost Fist - Frost Scars

Fang Xun saw this and did not dodge, but also threw a punch.

Golden light burst forth, and a pure yang energy gushed out.

With a bang, a heat wave swept in, warming the frosty air, and the ice beads instantly melted into a hazy white mist that rose up.

The only yang and the only strong man blooming a wonderful flower——

In just a moment, the two fists collided with each other.

The ground of the Third Branch School simply could not withstand such extreme conflict. Large pieces of mud, sand, earth and rocks flew into the sky between the alternation of cold and heat, and then shattered into powder.

With a collision of punches, Xiongba's cloak was shattered, and he felt a burning sensation in his chest, as if he had suffered a small loss.

But he did not back down. He immediately kicked Fang Xun's lower abdomen with a whip-like kick accompanied by a strong wind.

Fang Xun flicked his sleeves casually, and the flowing cloud sleeves fluttered, which made Xiongba sense the threat. He quickly twisted his body and retracted his legs, and took the opportunity to slap Fang Xun's chest with a palm.

This palm was so powerful that large patches of misty white fog that were rising up were forced to disperse.

Fang Xun still waved his hand and lightly swung out a Tai Chi Flowing Cloud Flying Sleeve. The flying sleeves were like an indestructible wall of steel that blocked Xiong Ba Pai Yun's palm in the middle.

When Xiongba attacked, every move was filled with murderous intent, he used the Tianshuang Fist, Paiyun Palm, and Fengshen Kick in an endless stream.

The three elements circulate endlessly, and there is no flaw or flaw in the circulation.

However, Fang Xun only defended and did not attack. From beginning to end, he just used the flying sleeves of flowing clouds to flutter up and down, defending without any leaks, and slowly savoring the three-point return to the origin.

No matter how hard Xiongba attacked, he could not break through the seemingly thin layer of sleeves.

Rumbling--

The two of them fought back and forth with great enthusiasm, but the Third Branch School suffered severe damage, and the escaping strong wind and energy exploded all over the sky.

In a short moment, three hundred moves had passed, and Xiongba was also angered by Fang Xun's actions.

"You kid only have one move, do you look down on me?!"

But he had a ferocious look on his face and raised his finger again. In an instant, the red, blue and green lights merged into one and pointed at Fang Xun's chest.

The three divine fingers, the three elements return to one!

laugh--

Finally, there was a series of sounds of cloth tearing, and Fang Xun's wide sleeves could no longer bear it, and they scattered into pieces. But when Xiongba continued to point his finger at Fang Xun, the other party's body was like a bubble, and was pierced directly by him!
Seven Illusions of Immortality - Taking Being as Nothingness

Xiongba felt a chill in his heart immediately. Without thinking or even looking, he raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

Fang Xun's figure suddenly appeared in the sky again, and the cold spring rain sounded in the small building in his hand.

The sword fell, but there was no trace of fireworks, as if it was natural and spontaneous.

It was as if a god had descended from heaven and swung out a sword without any dust on it, but it was like a towering mountain pressing down on Xiongba's heart.

A simple stab made Xiongba feel a sense of death. This sword reminded him of Tianjian Wuming and Jiansheng.

He had seen countless sword techniques in his life, but only the Nameless Heavenly Sword and the Sword Saint's Sword Twenty-Three made him have this feeling.

Compared with Wuming and Sword Saint, Fang Xun's sword lacks the purity that a sword should have, but it is a sword that divides yin and yang, and after destruction, it gives birth to creation, making people feel that the world is colorful.

The fusion of yin and yang creates the universe——

For a moment, a trace of confusion flashed across Xiongba's eyes. He felt that everything in the world before him was extremely vivid and beautiful, and the fighting spirit in his heart unconsciously eased.

He was so intoxicated by the meaning of the sword that he even forgot about dodging and resisting.

laugh--

A sword flew across the sky, and Xiongba, who was standing still, was pierced through the heart as expected. His body stiffened, and then turned into bubble and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Xun landed on the ground and stood still. He looked at Xiongba's disappearing figure, smiled, and then disappeared into the messy Third Branch School campus.

"Yes, the meaning of this sword is so profound that even Xiong Ba will be affected. It seems that even an ordinary Yang Shen realm cultivator cannot survive this sword."

In the martial arts training hall, Fang Xun closed his eyes and absorbed Xiong Ba's martial arts insights and memories.

Gang Leader Xiong's San Fen Gui Yuan Qi is quite good, at least in Fang Xun's opinion, both its power and potential are better than Jue Wushen's "Immortal Golden Body" and "Killing Fist".

Although the latter two unique skills are incredibly powerful, they are too extreme and lead to the end of the road.

Compared to Jue Wushen, Gang Leader Xiong is much stronger.

About a quarter of an hour later, Fang Xun opened his eyes with satisfaction. He turned his gaze to the fifth door of the martial arts hall. When he saw the new name that appeared, he was stunned for a moment.

'Why is it this funny Xiao Ming?'

[Young Master Kaiming, Yangshen Realm, from "Golden Light Puppet Show", to be defeated]
