Fang Xing's angry shout shocked both Li Ying and Han Yin and prevented them from attacking him on sight . The two weren't idiots, however, and they glared at Fang Xing while waiting for him to explain .
Fang Xing became even angrier before he emptied a storage sack onto the ground, causing the three tribe leaders to fall out . "These three bastards stopped guarding the entrance to the Sword Mound to come here and escape with three of the five immortal's Sword Embryos . You're lucky your little grandpa here was able to see through it to come in advance and stop them—if we'd waited for you guys to break in, not even a feather would be left behind . You still want my Sword Embryos even then?"
The pupils of Han Ying and Li Ying dilated when they saw the three young leaders of the Fiery Cloud, Shaken Cloud, and Black Swamp tribes . "These three people wanted to take the Sword Embryos?" It was obvious now why assaulting the Sword Mound had been extremely difficult early on but had felt much easier later: these three leaders had given up on guarding the entrance and intended to flee with the Sword Embryos instead . It had been such a dangerous situation! If they'd spent so much effort to break inside only to find all the Sword Embryos had been taken away, everyone would've felt an irreversibly great loss .
Li Ying gave it some thought before discontentedly asking, "Why did you not notify us first before sneaking inside?" He and Han Ying weren't stupid, so they naturally didn't easily believe Fang Xing had come inside so early for the purpose of stopping these three people from escaping with the Sword Embryos . They guessed this bastard had most likely wanted to clean out all the Sword Embryos for himself and had only accidentally run into the leaders in the process .
These two's thoughts were quite accurate, of course, but Fang Xing acted as though he'd received some sort of great insult and instantly cursed back, "I'm going to f*ck all eighteen generations of your ancestors, you ghost kid!"
Li Ying jumped in surprise at the shout . "Why would you curse all eighteen generations of my ancestors for no reason?"
"Because you're doubting me! Dammit, I actually saved an Immortal's Sword Embryo for each of you, yet not only are you not thanking me, you're here questioning my integrity? What gives you the right to question your little grandpa? I was the one who gathered all the cultivators to attack the Sword Mound, I was the one who gave the speech that moved everyone, and you two simply joined in on the chaos I created . I was the one who did most of the work, yet you're all acting as though you've contributed so much! Now tell me, ghost kid, don't I have a reason to curse all eighteen generations of your ancestors?" Fang Xing's words were so full of righteousness and reason that even Li Ying began to feel a sense of shame in response .
Fang Xing's words weren't completely true, of course . When he first revealed his true identity, he'd already told Li Ying he planned to snatch the flag and attack the sword mound and Li Ying had been tasked with riling up the emotions of everyone else . As the scene became more and more chaotic, however, it was the son of the Han clan—who was typically mute and said very little—who became the first person to break the silence and respond to Fang Xing's call . Rather than Li Ying, Han Ying was the first to enter battle alongside Fang Xing . Han Ying's actions had been entirely voluntary, though, and since it hadn't been discussed with Fang Xing in advance, he couldn't really claim any credit for himself .
Simply put, Fang Xing was indeed the primary reason for this attack on the Sword Mound, but he wouldn't have been nearly so successful if it weren't for the help from Li Ying and Han Ying . Receiving credit became a matter of how thick one's skin was, and Fang Xing directly placed all the credit squarely on his own shoulders while making sure to trample any credit Li Ying and Han Ying might have had, even going so far as to make them feel ashamed .
The two of them had clearly heard the words "I actually saved an immortal's Sword Embryo for each of you two" as well, filling them with intense excitement . The sole reason they'd worked so hard to attack this place was for the sake of one of the immortals' Sword Embryos in the Sword Mound's depths . They'd originally thought they might have to fight with the other cultivators to get their hands on one, yet this little brat had already prepared one for them? The two didn't bother arguing anymore, and Li Ying anxiously asked, "Where are the Sword Embryos?"
Fang Xing showed a cold smile . "These three bastards have them . A complete immortal's Sword Embryo will be yours after you separate it from them with secret spells . You can check them first if you don't believe me . Of course, whether you can separate it from them or not will be up to your own abilities; that is more than I care to worry about!"
Han Ying and Li Ying were both overjoyed at those words, and they looked towards the three leaders in unison with gleaming eyes . Li Ying was impatient and moved to directly grab one of them for a closer look, but Fang Xing moved in front to block his path with a cold smile . "Wait . Not only did you two bastards question my integrity after not contributing much, now you want to so effortlessly receive an immortal's Sword Embryo?"
At this, the expressions on Li Ying and Han Ying's faces became complicated and they even prepared to attack . Li Ying in particular had an unmatched talent in spirit sense and was even stronger than Fang Xing in this regard, and he could sense Fang Xing was currently in a terrible state right now . It might even be possible for either of the two to take Fang Xing down alone to say nothing of attacking together, but it wasn't good to simply attack and steal it away in an atmosphere like this .
Fang Xing naturally saw through them and three Flying Swords abruptly flew out from another storage sack . A simple movement of his mind caused each of the swords to point at the young leaders' foreheads while Fang Xing sneered and continued, "Don't you two bastards do anything stupid now; if I let go of my swords, it will take their lives . The Sword Embryos will flee if they die, and you guys will be left with without so much as a feather… . "
Li Ying and Han Ying's faces froze . Neither of them dared to act hastily anymore, and the atmosphere quickly became frozen and stern .
