"This newcomer … dares to provoke Lord O'Brien. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
The surrounding fallen ones who were kneeling on the ground gasped. Even the emissary of the Slaughter King, Erica, had an ugly expression. She hadn't expected Fang Xuan to confront O'Brien head-on!
A cold, murderous aura was released, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air. Many people looked at Fang Xuan with pity, sure that he would be torn apart alive by O'Brien!
O'Brien was the vice-captain of the Enforcers. Because of his handsome appearance and his silver-white armor, he was known as the Heavenly Knight. He was a true peak-level Spirit Douluo.
In Slaughter City, he was a peak-level Spirit Douluo who could use spirit skills! Even a Fallen Titled Douluo wouldn't have any chance of victory against O'Brien!
"Hey, 94463, do you know who you're facing? Hurry up, kneel, and apologize, or you'll die," Erica said.
"That's right. If you kneel now, I can spare your life. It's not shameful to submit to an Enforcer!" O'Brien arrogantly sat atop his warhorse, coldly glancing at Fang Xuan. His handsome face was filled with arrogance and disobedience.
"Enforcer?!" The corners of Fang Xuan's mouth curled up. He looked at O'Brien disdainfully and sneered,
"What a joke. Whose Enforcer are you? Whose laws do you follow? Just because you've been given the privilege of using spirit skills in City, you think you can do whatever you want?!"
"You're playing with fire!" O'Brien's face darkened. His silver spear swallowed the silver-white flames, and his murderous aura skyrocketed, causing many of the surrounding fallen ones to reveal looks of fear. They felt endless pressure as if the mountain was pressing down on them.
"Rookie! I'll give you one last chance. Submit or die?!"
His voice was like thunder, rumbling out. The street shook violently, and his murderous aura soared into the sky! As peak-level Spirit Douluo, who could use spirit skills, he was invincible. This Heavenly Knight indeed put a lot of pressure on Fang Xuan.
But if he wanted to make him submit, he was still unworthy! Fang Xuan's black hair draped over his shoulders.
His eyes were sharp and cold, and he stared unblinkingly at O'Brien. He licked his lips, his eyes filled with an excited light.
"I wonder how much power I will gain from killing you!"
Hearing these words, O'Brien's face sank, and the killing intent multiplied. The long spear in his hands began to spin, creating countless sharp spear lights that directly shattered a golden house to the right. A terrifying aura filled the air.
"You're courting death! Today, I will enforce the law impartially and behead a rookie like you who doesn't abide by the rules!"
O'Brien let out a wild howl. His silver armor flickered with cold light, and his silver spear erupted with a ball of blazing flames as radiant and dazzling as the silver moon.
This was a top-grade tool martial spirit known as the Silver Blood Spear. Its power was terrifying, and under the activation of a Spirit Douluo's boundless Spiritforce, the spear released a pressure that could devour the heavens and the earth.
O'Brien raised his Silverblood Warspear high, his battle intent soaring to the heavens as he charged toward Fang Xuan with a murderous look on his face.
"Sword Drawing Technique!"
Fang Xuan let out a cold snort. He did not move, and there was not the slightest trace of fear in his deep eyes.
His entire body ignited with blood-red killing intent, and his longsword suddenly left its sheath, transforming into a crescent sword light that directly chopped toward O'Brien.
"Clang!"
The longsword and the warspear collided, creating an ear-piercing clang. Sparks flew everywhere, and Spiritforce rippled out.
The shockwave swept across the long street, overturning large swaths of houses.
"He blocked it! This rookie blocked Lord O'Brien's Silverblood Warspear!"
Someone was shocked, not daring to believe his eyes. Enforcers were supreme existences that no one in Slaughter City dared to offend. Furthermore, he was the vice-captain of the enforcers.
In the eyes of many fallen, O'Brien was as powerful as a god and could be considered invincible. But now, his Silverblood Warspear had been blocked by an ordinary iron sword. Everyone felt that it was inconceivable.
"It's not over yet. This is just the beginning…" Erica's pretty face was solemn, and her gaze towards Fang Xuan was filled with pity.
Sighing, she said, "Poor fellow. I have to admit that you are the most powerful rookie in the past ten years. But you should have never, ever offended Lord O'Brien."
Fang Xuan had easily blocked O'Brien's war spear in that collision just now, which shocked her. But O'Brien had yet to use his spirit rings or spirit skills…
Once he used his spirit skills or even directly activated his martial spirit's body, O'Brien's combat strength would most likely skyrocket tenfold, and he would instantly kill Fang Xuan!
Thus, the current O'Brien was merely playing a game of cat and mouse. He had yet to use his strength and was toying with Fang Xuan.
"Rookie, you can't possibly be so naïve as to believe you are a match for me, right?!" O'Brien sneered, and the warhorse beneath him seemed to have a mind. It suddenly raised its front hooves and stomped heavily towards Fang Xuan's chest.
Fang Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he quickly withdrew his sword. His figure promptly retreated, dodging the warhorse's attack.
But then, O'Brien's warspear suddenly stabbed forward, directly towards Fang Xuan's forehead!
A cold wind blew against his face, and the hair in front of his forehead fluttered, revealing a pair of deep eyes. His pitch-black pupils were filled with a solemn expression, and he felt a potent threat.
Fang Xuan's spirit power had just recovered to the Spirit Emperor rank, and he was at least twenty ranks away from O'Brien, who was a Spirit Douluo.
Although he didn't fear this Heavenly Knight, he had to admit that this was the most powerful enemy he had encountered since entering the Slaughter City!
With a wave of his sharp sword, he knocked away the Silverblood Warspear. With a loud shout, the murderous sword aura around his body surged, and he directly entered the 'One with the Sword' realm, his combat strength increasing tenfold.
"Kill!"
A terrifying river of sword aura pierced through the air. It was vast and mighty, carrying a frightening killing intent as it crazily slashed towards O'Brien.
"Child's play!"
O'Brien's face was arrogant, and he didn't care about Fang Xuan's attack. He casually stabbed his spear toward the river of sword aura.
However, just as the Silverblood Warspear was about to collide with the river of sword aura, the river of sword aura suddenly froze, and its trajectory suddenly changed.
It directly fell downwards, tearing O'Brien's warhorse to shreds. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood splattered everywhere.
Sitting high up on his horse and looking down at Fang Xuan, O'Brien slowly descended, and his feet stepped on the ground. Fang Xuan's target for this strike wasn't O'Brien but the warhorse.
Under the guidance of his enormous spiritual power, he slightly changed the trajectory of his attack.
Ultimately, he killed this arrogant Enforcer's steed with a single blow. This was undoubtedly a heavy slap to O'Brien's face, causing him to lose all face.
"Rookie, you've pissed me off…"
O'Brien's face was as gloomy as water, and he stared coldly at Fang Xuan. Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, eight rings of light rose from his body, and an extremely terrifying aura exploded forth.
O'Brien was finally enraged. He began to use his full strength, releasing his spirit rings and preparing to use his spirit skills to kill Fang Xuan.
"Then come at me!"
Fang Xuan's eyes were deep and unfazed. He could sense the terrifying aura from the other side but showed no fear. He directly brandished his long sword, and his murderous sword aura blazed as he charged towards O'Brien.
A colossal battle erupted!
