Chapter 118: Life-and-Death Threat, Counterattack in Self-Defense
3:00 a.m.
Fang Qingyu was still attentively watching.
Instead, Zou Lingzhu suddenly took off her mask, took off her gloves, and stopped working.
She straightened up and happened to see Fang Qingyu's serious expression.
"How's your learning going?"
She casually asked.
"I've learned quite a bit regarding surgical skills."
Fang Qingyu answered truthfully.
Mainly because she doesn't allow asking, and with these dead Life Ghost bodies, he doesn't know who is who, so he can only learn the surgical skills.
But even so.
The Executioner experience on the panel increased by 17 points.
In stark contrast to last time observing Yun Jiaojiao's dissection.
"Hmm, continue tomorrow."
Zou Lingzhu nodded, got up, and headed for the door.
"Okay."
Fang Qingyu followed out of the ninth underground level.
...
The next day.
Slept until 9:00 a.m.
Today's duty time is from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Originally, Fang Qingyu planned to inquire if Zou Lingzhu was performing dissections during the day and follow to learn.
His phone rang first.
The call connected.
"What's up, Old Qiao, is there a mission?"
"Qingzi, are you free now?" Old Qiao's voice was a bit tense.
"Yes, what happened?"
Fang Qingyu paused his walking, frowning slightly.
"Someone's targeted me over here, but when I called President Xiao, no one answered..."
Old Qiao lowered his voice, seemingly afraid others would hear.
"Where are you now?"
Fang Qingyu began moving again, his expression slightly changing.
Old Qiao and Lv Chen are considered among his few friends.
At the beginning of his Martial Arts journey, they helped him significantly with various excuses.
He couldn't ignore it when something happened to them at this moment.
"Just at a bar, there's not much people, Little Four has already been beaten up..."
"I'm coming right away."
Fang Qingyu's face darkened slightly.
He quickly walked out of the Divine Management Bureau, simultaneously calling Duan Ling.
This kind of supernatural security incident.
Whether the Divine Management Bureau would handle it or not is unknown?
"That depends on the situation, Qingzi, unless they encounter a fugitive or a Life Ghost, the Divine Management Bureau will send people to assist."
"If it's a conflict between Commerce Associations, as long as no one dies and it doesn't affect ordinary people, the Divine Management Bureau won't handle such matters."
"Got it."
Fang Qingyu hung up the phone inside the car.
It seems to be an enemy Commerce Association of Purple Stone Commerce Association coming to cause trouble.
Otherwise, Old Qiao wouldn't need to call him.
But early in the morning...
Who's so unlucky!?
The car quickly arrived at the bar's entrance.
Early in the morning, the bar doors were tightly shut, and many luxury cars were parked around.
Fang Qingyu got out of the car.
With a blank expression, he walked toward the door, and without a second thought, kicked it directly.
Boom——
The locked door was kicked open.
The bar was brightly lit inside.
A group of people was scattered, sitting in the booths, while a man in a suit sat at the bar, in front of a nervous-looking female bartender.
But Old Qiao and others were nowhere to be seen.
Fang Qingyu, seeing this, first turned around and closed the door again.
Only then did he walk over to the crowd.
"Hey, who the heck are you?"
The people inside hadn't figured out what was going on when they saw this clueless young man approaching.
For a moment, several rose from their booths.
They approached Fang Qingyu.
But the young man by the bar merely gestured with his hand.
Everyone suppressed their anger and returned to their seats.
"Mr. Fang, we meet again."
The young man, across a bunch of booths, waved to Fang Qingyu in greeting.
"?"
Fang Qingyu frowned, turning to look at him.
[Le You Commerce Association Logistics Department Minister]
What the heck!?
People from Le You Commerce Association, coming for him?
Seeing Fang Qingyu's unfriendly expression, the young man waved, the bartender, though scared, obediently walked to his side, letting him hold her.
The two walked slowly toward Fang Qingyu.
Meanwhile, Fang Qingyu finally spotted Old Qiao and the others.
...Lying in the middle of the front booth.
He, Little Four, Lv Chen, and their previous colleagues, all facedown, surrounded by splatters of blood.
It seemed only Little Four was conscious, struggling to lift his head and glance at him.
"Mr. Fang, don't misunderstand, I'm here for some business with Purple Stone Commerce Association, unrelated to you, not here to cause you trouble."
The young man was quite respectful to Fang Qingyu.
In his words, he kept using 'you' respectfully.
But... he couldn't be disrespectful.
A few days ago, he just learned that Fang Qingyu had recently placed first in a special training class.
He'd likely step into the Transcendent soon.
No one would be foolish enough to provoke a future genius.
Moreover, as far as he knew, though Fang Qingyu belonged to Purple Stone Commerce Association, he wasn't deeply involved.
This time, taking Tongyuan Martial Arts Hall should be no big problem.
Fang Qingyu listened silently, then looked around the room.
All Martial Arts Apprentices.
And two Red-Name Martial Artists.
They should be the young man's bodyguards.
Thus, Fang Qingyu raised his hand, signaling the young man: "Sorry, could you please wait a moment."
Not waiting for the young man to speak.
Fang Qingyu moved among everyone, crouching down in front of Little Four.
He helped him up, looking at him.
"Are you from Purple Stone Commerce Association?"
These words... made the battered Little Four somewhat dazed.
Until he saw Fang Qingyu's eyes.
He hesitated then shook his head.
Fang Qingyu revealed a comforting smile, gently placing him back on the ground.
Then stood up again.
Walked back to the young man.
"Hello, what's your surname?"
The young man didn't quite understand Fang Qingyu's previous actions, and because of Fang Qingyu's somewhat disrespectful behavior, began to feel a little angry.
A cold voice said, "You can call me Le, Le Kang."
"OK, Mr. Le, I'm announcing you're under arrest now."
Fang Qingyu laughed.
"?"
The young man listened, was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The others were the same.
But Fang Qingyu stopped smiling, and his expression began to gradually turn cold.
"Mr. Le, why are you laughing? Are you organizing others to illegally attack me?"
Le Kang listened with a peculiar expression.
"Is something wrong with your brain?"
However, Fang Qingyu was unmoved, because others around were still laughing.
"This is your first warning!"
"If you laugh again, I'll regard you as a kind of extraordinary ability believer!"
"Did I laugh?"
Staring at Fang Qingyu's gradually serious expression, Le Kang pointed to himself and asked the people around.
It would have been fine if he didn't ask.
But asking this made the laughter even louder.
And Fang Qingyu finally laughed again.
But this time...
It was a sneer.
"Now, due to Mr. Le violently resisting arrest, I will apprehend you!!"
After he finished speaking.
Before the young man could figure out the logic.
Bam—
Fang Qingyu was already surrounded by red flames, punching Le Kang in the stomach.
At the same time, he grabbed the bartender beside him with his left hand.
That way, only Le Kang was sent flying backward with wide-open eyes.
"Ugh... pfft..."
Le Kang, who hit the ground, didn't care about the pain, immediately bent over and retched onto the floor.
At the same time.
The others hadn't yet processed what was happening.
Fang Qingyu had already arrived in front of the two Martial Artists.
Gazing intently at them.
Their eyes widened instantly, wanting to punch.
But Fang Qingyu's hand appeared on their necks without them realizing, lifting them up, the feeling of suffocation constantly coming.
Boom—
Flames wrapped around the bodies of both men from their necks.
"Aaaahhhh!!!"
The screams immediately echoed, causing everyone to be horrified.
Two... Transcendents were taken out just like this!!?
The horror spread within everyone's hearts.
Instinctively looking towards the bar entrance.
Fang Qingyu placed the two living pieces of charred wood down, unmoved by the crowd preparing to flee.
Two minutes later.
Stacking the last person trying to escape beside the door.
After making an emergency call, Fang Qingyu walked back toward the young man.
"Did you come for me or for them?"
With just one punch, the young man lost his ability to act, lying powerlessly on the ground, glaring at Fang Qingyu with resentment.
Seeing Fang Qingyu pointing at Old Qiao and the others, then pointing at himself.
Even now, the young man was sneering, wanting to spit at Fang Qingyu.
Slap—
A slap landed.
Fang Qingyu looked at him calmly.
"Answer me."
But the young man, slapped into a complete loss of reason, turned his head and roared.
"What gives you the right to treat me this way!! This is a matter of our Commerce Association, even the Divine Management Bureau can't handle it!!!"
"Do you even know who I am!?"
"Wait and see, either you kill me now, or I will definitely make you wish you were dead!!!"
Fang Qingyu listened quietly, expression unperturbed.
Originally, this was just a trivial matter.
Old Qiao and others were found by people from Le You Commerce Association, beaten to a pulp.
As their friend, it would be reasonable to help them settle scores.
Maybe just beat them into semi-paralysis at most.
But now there are people foolish enough to threaten me with death?
Fang Qingyu silently turned on the recorder.
"Do you dare to say it again!?"
"Hah."
The young man thought Fang Qingyu was afraid, sneered.
"I said, either you kill me now, or I will definitely make you wish you were dead!!! I will make everyone you know accompany you in death!!!"
Fang Qingyu nodded calmly.
"Alright, Mr. Le, now because you have issued a death threat to an official combatant of the Divine Management Bureau, I am feeling great fear, and I will proceed with self-defense retaliation."
After speaking, Fang Qingyu grabbed the young man's throat.
Crunch—
Le Kang, having blustered for so long, couldn't understand until his death.
Why Fang Qingyu was even more ruthless than him...
"You're finished, he's the son of the Le You Commerce Association's president, you killed him, the Le You Commerce Association won't let you go."
And the cracking sound drew the attention of the two surviving martial artists.
Fang Qingyu listened, face curious.
"Shouldn't it be the Le You Commerce Association people worrying about whether I let them go?"
The two saw this, said no more.
Afraid they would walk in Le Kang's footsteps as well.
Returning beside Old Qiao.
The few had been beaten so badly, their own mothers probably couldn't recognize them.
Now all were in a state of coma.
Only little Four's blank gaze stared directly at Fang Qingyu.
"Qingzi..."
"Why did they come looking for you?"
Fang Qingyu looked at him curiously.
Little Four listened and whispered, "To snatch territory, and because of you."
"Because of me?"
Fang Qingyu frowned slightly.
After all this time, is the Le You Commerce Association still hung up on me?
Now little Four looked at Fang Qingyu with a bit of fear: "He said you are about to become a Martial Artist, and they wanted to recruit you into the Commerce Association, to develop you well."
"So they wanted to break up the Purple Stone Commerce Association first, to show you their strength, and then invite you naturally."
Fang Qingyu listened with a strange expression...
About to become a Martial Artist!?
What kind of outdated information is this!!
But now, there's no possibility with the Le You Commerce Association and me.
Can't not even react after I've killed the president's son.
Fang Qingyu didn't regret it either.
Anyone daring to threaten me with life and death...
No matter who it is.
Must die!!!
