Xu Longsheng, standing not far away, got heated as how things went was beyond his control.
He was the sole and beloved disciple of the Third Elder of Dugu Faction. As a result, he also knew what had happened ten years ago.
Fang Shen had no reason to hate Tan Zheng because the latter hadn't been associated with the action.
However, Fang Shen had many reasons to hate Xu Longsheng's mentor and father, as well as the whole Dugu Faction.
Xu Longsheng's mentor and father both took part in the action to kill Fang Shen's parents.
To Fang Shen, his parents' missing was closely related to Xu Longsheng's mentor and father.
To Xu Longsheng, his father, the former leader of Longsheng Gang, was killed by Fang Wen, Fang Shen's father.
Ten years ago, the five clans and five fractions decided to collaborate with the local gang, just to be on the safe side. Then, they came to Xu Longsheng's father. They had made a complete and thorough plan to separate Fang Shen's parents. As a result, Fang Shen's parents were seriously injured and still missing.
That year, Xu Longsheng's father had no idea of how capable cultivators were. He went to the site to watch the drama. Fang Shen's father punched him with only one fist, but he died, his bones broken into pieces.
The Third Elder saw the young Xu Longsheng and found he was a talent in sword art, so he took Xu back to Dugu Faction. That's why Xu became the disciple of him.
If Tan Zheng took Fang Shen's side, he would tell Fang everything for sure. Then, Fang would kill Xu Longsheng.
Xu Longsheng pondered hard on the current situation. He had to stop Tan Zheng from turning to Fang Shen, so that he might have a chance to escape.
Ignoring Fang Shen's threaten, Xu Longsheng shouted towards Tan Zheng, "Elder Tan, he is lying to you. The ninth move of Dugu Nine-Stabs has been missing for many years. There is no way he is able to teach you the ninth move. Though his skill is frightening, I believe he is unable to use it again in a short while. Otherwise, the Fang Clan would have sought hegemony. However, the Fang Clan is holed up like a turtle. Elder Tan, if we join hands, I believe we can defeat him!"
Fang Shen remained calm at Xu Longsheng's words, not planning to argue with him.
Xu Longsheng was indeed somebody. He was right. A lot of energy is needed for cultivators to use powerful mysterious arts on the earth. However, his Eyes of Life and Death are not from the earth. As a result, Fang Shen was an exception.
Seeing Fang Shen have no objection, Xu Longsheng cried even louder as he believed that he was right. Otherwise, Fang would have showed them his skill again. Fang must be bragging! Xu Longsheng made up his mind at this moment.
Despite his young age, Xu Longsheng was resolute in action. He took out his sword and dashed towards Fang Shen at a fast speed.
Fang Shen sighed and thought to himself, "Xu Longsheng, you are indeed somebody. You would become a big shot in a couple of years. But your father did something evil to my parents and I have to kill you for them. Sorry."
Xu Longsheng almost came to Fang Shen and raised his sword to stab him, but Fang was not anxious at all.
Fang Shen stood still and turned to Fang Shen, asking in a light voice, "Tan Zheng, this is your last chance."
