903 Heart Sword
These young ladies had been repeatedly told to do whatever they were told.
When they heard the order ringing out in their minds, they each walked up to a sword and drew one with almost no hesitation.
Alice also casually picked one and followed the others to walk up to that figure who was dressed in white.
This was the first time the ten young ladies had seen Fang Xingjian's actual appearance.
At almost at the same instant she saw his face, Alice's heart wavered slightly. The other party's eyes that glistened like the starry sky were like two black holes, strongly attracting all of her attention. It was as if they even wanted to suck in her soul.
'To think that there's such a beautiful man in this world?'
Alice forcibly suppressed the throbbing in her heart and lowered her head, not daring to look at Fang Xingjian's face any further.
Simultaneously, a fierce bellow rang out next to her. A lady in green had lifted a heavy sword and was slashing out toward Fang Xingjian's head at the speed of lightning.
Alice had noticed this lady for a while. She had a pair of beautiful, slender legs, and she stood out a lot amongst the ten ladies. However, she unexpectedly unleashed the explosive powers of a Conferred Knight. The heavy sword she held was like a mountain range, bringing along layers of stacking phantom images of mountains that went pressing toward Fang Xingjian.
However, how could someone of this level possibly deal any harm to Fang Xingjian? It seemed to take only a glance from Fang Xingjian for the heavy sword to shatter and the images of mountains to disappear. The lady dressed in green was frozen in midair like a cross, unable to move.
It seemed as if she had known that she would definitely fail in her attempt. Right after the lady in green realized that she was unable to budge, she shouted, "You traitor! You abducted the Prince, seized the throne, and harmed people who are loyal and kind. You'll die a horrible death!"
Fang Xingjian threw a glance at her, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips. This caused Alice's heart to throb slightly once again, and several other young ladies also blushed.
The young lady in green, who was bound, had an expression that showed she was struggling internally. She turned her head immediately, not daring to look at Fang Xingjian any longer.
However, with a flash, Fang Xingjian appeared next to the young lady in green. He clenched her chin gently and said, "This isn't your original appearance, right? Why don't you reveal your actual appearance?"
A hint of terror flashed on the face of the young lady in green. "What did you do? I don't want... I... I don't want to listen to you..."
Yet despite saying that, her body went through a series of transformations, and she turned from a mature lady with long legs into a cute young girl with a flat chest and a height of 1.5 meters.
She could not help but look atFang Xingjian like there were feelings of love seething in her eyes. However, there were endless feelings of terror in the depths of her pupils.
In fact, her actual intentions in coming here was the same as Alice—wanting to lie in hiding next to Fang Xingjian. However, after she took that one glance at Fang Xingjian, she could not hold back her feelings of love toward him. The feelings of love at first sight kept on surging up in her heart.
She knew that if she did not make a move now, it probably would not take long before she really fell in love with him. In fact, she might even betray the entire resistance organization. Therefore, she immediately took action, wanting to be killed by Fang Xingjian.
"Don't... Don't get close to me!" The young lady stuttered.
Fang Xingjian smiled and brushed his fingers gently on her shoulder. The young lady let out a soft groan and felt as if her entire body had gone weak.
The young lady looked at Fang Xingjian in adoration, but tears kept flowing down the corners of her eyes. "Kill me!"
Fang Xingjian merely smiled and looked at her. The young lady let out a stifled snort. Then blood flowed out from her seven apertures, and she fell unconscious.
She had cut off her arteries and cranial nerves in an attempt to commit suicide. However, Fang Xingjian managed to stop her at the last moment, so she was merely knocked out.
At the sight of this scene, a shuddering feeling gushed up in Alice's heart, and she did not dare to take another look at Fang Xingjian. She could only watch as the other eight young ladies happily went up to him.
These young ladies either hugged his legs, arms, or chest. All of them stuck themselves to Fang Xingjian's body, incessantly using their own bodies to rub against him while wearing blissful smiles. It was as if they had taken drugs, and their eyes were gradually filled up with feelings of infatuation.
Then, under Alice's astonished gaze, pieces of clothing dropped to the ground slowly, and she would hear occasional groans that made her blush.
...
Fang Xingjian sat cross-legged in the sky. His eyes were emotionless like the things that were happening on the ground were none of his business.
Beside him, the Realm Traversing Guardian King looked down with curiosity. The ten young ladies were standing there at a loss. Their faces were red, and groans would come out from their mouths occasionally.
"Imperial Preceptor, this is a good method. This method to bewitch others is probably a microscopic level illusory art, right?"
Having successfully learned the Thunder-Inducing Technique and the Heaven-Connecting Upper Extremity Sword Physique, Fang Xingjian no longer cared if other people found out that he possessed microscopic level illusory arts.
Fang Xingjian nodded and said calmly, "It's just something that I gained after taking a look at the Heartless City's Multitudinous Emotional Connections Sword."
The Realm Traversing Guardian King knew about the 绝情城. It was just a insignificant sect that had been taken in by the Empire without putting up a resistance. They had quickly offered up their secret manuals.
The Realm Traversing Guardian King knew that this faction had some techniques to bewitch others and refine emotions. However, he definitely did not think that Fang Xingjian's illusory arts would come from them. After all, even with his current realm, he could not help but develop a bit of positive feelings when he looked at Fang Xingjian.
'Making the Heart Sword visible to others... To think that this person's sword arts, along with each and every of his movements, are able to affect my mind. He's really not simple.'
This was how things actually were. This was an illusory art that used illusory arts as a base to toy with the hearts of others and cause their emotions to fluctuate. It was something that Fang Xingjian had developed after reading through the manuals from numerous sects and then combining them with the newly gained information of the microscopic realm, which he had obtained from the Divine Emperor of the previous world he had been to.
When Fang Xingjian fought against the Evil God Tribe's warrior, he had already been able to induce some terror. Now, he was able to take one step further and control the emotions of the weak.
However, he was only able to influence the emotions of people who were weak at the current point. His influence on existences like the Realm Traversing Guardian King was almost non-existent. Even Alice was able to overcome this influence somehow.
Despite this, he was considered to have a small success in this Heart Sword Path. As long as Fang Xingjian persevered in his cultivation and study of people's hearts, he would be able to continue progressing further.
The maids whom he had called over earlier were just for him to experiment this Heart Sword Path.
The Realm Traversing Guardian King smiled and said, "There seems to be a beauty down there who hasn't been affected by the Imperial Preceptor's Heart Sword. Her background is probably not simple."
"It doesn't matter. I have my own arrangements." Fang Xingjian swung his sleeves, and layers of fog came down, concealing the entire ground under them.
"What does the Guardian King think of my Divine Country?"
This place that Fang Xingjian, the Realm Traversing Guardian King, and the ten young ladies had entered was the Divine Country which Fang Xingjian had been creating during this period of time.
The entire space was about 100 square kilometers, and the sky had a faint white light, with no sun nor moon in sight. The ground was a stretch of flat desolate land without any mountains or water. There was nothing at all.
This was something that Fang Xingjian had achieved by casually distorting and compressing an area of space and then filling it with some earth.
