Online: I Can See Health Bars

"Little friend, seeing as Zhuo Xueer is by your side, you must be one of the Foolish Underworld's. Could you do me a favor today and spare my nephew?"

Fang Yu was somewhat surprised.

The people around spoke of the Stone Elder with such fear that they hardly dared to offend him.

Yet, the Stone Elder himself turned out to be unexpectedly approachable.

Fang Yu thought back to the scene just now.

That Iron Stone attack had caught Fang Yu off guard.

Judging the distance between them, it was just within thirty feet!

Such a terrifying technique.

If he had aimed for my head at that time, it's very likely that my head would've exploded instantly.

Ordinary people would definitely be dead, but I would only be missing a head, losing vision, and other functions.

Although it wouldn't kill me, my combat power would definitely be greatly reduced.

However, with my abilities, even if my head had exploded in that moment, I would have been able to exchange it for Lin Kuanglong's life.

Perhaps that's also one of the reasons why the Stone Elder only shattered the Longsword, diffusing the crisis.

"Hurry up and release Lin Kuanglong! We can't afford to provoke the Stone Elder!"

Seeing Fang Yu making no move, Zhuo Xueer hastily leaned in and whispered, her eyes also filled with deep fear.

Clearly, even among the 3000-blood Martial Artists, the Stone Elder is one of the top experts.

If the Stone Elder is as strong as they say and really wants to kill, he could easily shatter my Longsword with one Iron Stone attack, and the next Iron Stone could directly crack my skull.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu took a deep breath, lifted his right foot from Lin Kuanglong's body, stepped back a few paces, and bowed.

"So it's the Stone Elder, I'm Fang Yu of Yangshen Hall, and I offer my respects."

"Merely a supervisor?"

The Stone Elder smiled, looking deeply at Fang Yu.

"With your demonstrated strength, you shouldn't be holding this position. If the Foolish Underworld cannot appreciate this roaming dragon, you can come to the Lin Family and seek me out. The Lin Family will not treat those with real strength unfairly."

After speaking, the Stone Elder walked slowly to the seriously injured Lin Kuanglong's side, glanced at the sword wound on his chest, and slightly narrowed his eyes.

"Aren't you getting up yet! Have you not disgraced yourself enough?"

His tone turned stern and severe all at once.

"Uncle! Use your Iron Stone technique to kill them all! Kill them all!"

Lin Kuanglong, clutching his wound, rose furiously facing Fang Yu and the others, but...

Slap!!

The Stone Elder landed a slap directly on his face.

"Shut up! People have spared your life as a face-saving gesture to the Lin Family. If you dare to be disrespectful again, I'll penalize you with three months in the forbidden area!"

Mentioning the forbidden area, even a reckless person like Lin Kuanglong changed his complexion and could only shut up and angrily glare at Fang Yu and the others.

Could it be that people become kinder with age?

Based on what others say, this Stone Elder used to be terribly vicious years ago. Now, he's so easy to talk to, much easier than those younger members of the Lin Family.

"Thank you, everyone, for showing mercy. I will certainly educate my nephew well when I return, and remind him to behave appropriately."

The Stone Elder's words and attitude are like an oddity among the Five Great Families.

You know, even Hei Ao and Diao, before I became familiar with them and earned their approval, were either cold or arrogant.

It was only after mutual recognition of strength and getting to know each other that attitudes changed.

So seeing the Stone Elder being so reasonable, Fang Yu feels somewhat weird about it.

"Elder Tie is too polite, now that the situation is clear, feel free to take Lin Kuanglong back."

Regardless, when someone else is outwardly polite and holds the upper hand in strength, Fang Yu naturally does not want to burn bridges and plays along.

But the Stone Elder actually made a gesture with his hand, turned, and was ready to leave without any other actions.

However, at that moment.

"Wait!"

It was Lin Kuanglong who spoke.

He clutched the wound on his chest, staring intently at Fang Yu, and then his gaze slowly moved to Li Xunxue and Suo Fengxiang behind him.

"Uncle, let this kid go, but not that woman! She destroyed my deceased wife's body! If you're going to go, take her with you!"

The Stone Elder paused and frowned.

"Nonsense! If you... "

Swish—

Lin Kuanglong, from nowhere, pulled out a Dagger and placed it against his own neck, his face twisted and frenzied.

"Uncle, I don't care about the others; that kid simply ruined my plans, but that woman is different! She desecrated my lady's corpse, and if I can't dismember her to avenge my dead wife, there's no point in living. It's better to die now!"

Fang Yu: ???

Is this a threat now?

As if resigned, the Stone Elder slowly turned around, and Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Not waiting for the Stone Elder to speak, Fang Yu promptly said.

"Elder Tie, Li Xunxue is a person of the Li Family, and she has some connections with me; I temporarily cannot let you take her away."

"Turns out she's a girl from the Li Family, but... my nephew is adamant. Could you do me another favor, young friend?"

The Stone Elder spoke with a smiling tone.

"..."

He didn't hear me at all.

"Give her to him!"

Zhuo Xueer came close and whispered.

Fang Yu ignored her and instead turned to look at Li Xunxue, but his gaze unavoidably met Suo Fengxiang's.

Suo Fengxiang's body trembled and she quickly turned her face away.

However, it was Li Xunxue who was coldly smiling at Fang Yu.

"This is indeed a dilemma. You can't afford to provoke the Stone Elder, but if you hand me over, my life is uncertain. What will you do, Fang Yu?"

This madwoman doesn't seem to care about her own life, what a twisted personality.

Fang Yu remained silent, closed his eyes, and pondered.

"Hurry up and release her! What is there to hesitate about?" It was Liu Ningran's voice.

"That's strange, what's this person from Yangshen Hall doing? Just give the Lin Family their person and be out of Five Great Families' business."
