Chapter 149: Rage Burns (3rd Update, Votes Please!)
Lu Youchao coldly looked at Fang Yu and said:
"Are you threatening me?"
Fang Yu indifferently replied, "So what if I am?!"
"Lu Yu! Have you truly come to disregard the Lu Family entirely? Such arrogance! Do you think you can overlook the Lu Family with just a Martial Arts Sixth Layer Heaven?" The more Lu Youchao spoke, the more amused he found it.
"Back then, within the Lu Family, you couldn't even step into the world of Martial Arts. According to the rules of the Sect, you were destined to be expelled one day! You must really hate the Lu Family, hence why you even changed your surname!"
Lu Youchao burst into laughter, "How very bold of you! The ancients say, a man should neither change his name nor surname; the fact you can change even your name, no wonder you can defy everything."
Lu Youchao's words, however, plunged Fang Yu into a brief recollection.
Thirteen years ago, when Fang Yu was exiled, a protector from the Lu Family had proclaimed, "Lu Yu, from this day forth, you are no longer a person of the Lu Family, nor are you allowed to bear the name Lu. If one day I discover it, don't blame me for being heartless."
In fact, Fang Yu didn't like the surname Lu.
What 'the flesh and hair are the gifts from one's parents', what 'not changing one's name or surname'.
In Fang Yu's eyes, all that was bullshit!
So, when Fang Yu heard Lu Youchao derisively saying that he could even change his surname, he didn't get angry. On the contrary, he found it laughable.
"Lu Youchao, you've lost your last chance!"
Fang Yu slowly took steps, approaching Lu Youchao.
Seeing Fang Yu coming closer, Lu Youchao's pupils shrank—
Turns out Fang Yu didn't care at all about what he said.
Lu Youchao's heartbeat suddenly quickened, involuntarily taking a step back.
For some reason, the aura emanating from Fang Yu was causing him a trace of unease.
This was a feeling he had never experienced in his days of accepting bounty missions.
"Lu Yu! You dare!"
Fang Yu kept approaching!
As if he hadn't heard anything.
Buzz.
Buzzing—
What was that sound?
Lu Youchao was suddenly startled and couldn't help but look down.
The slender short sword in Fang Yu's hand, tilted at forty-five degrees, was actually emitting a buzzing sound.
The blade was trembling!
"Such strong Inner Strength!"
A storm surged inside Lu Youchao's heart; only when a person's Inner Essence reached a certain realm could they cause the sword to tremble when channeling Inner Strength.
Fang Yu took steps closer.
Buzz—
Buzzing—
The trembling of the blade grew even louder.
Lu Youchao suddenly widened his eyes, his lips trembling, "You... you are in the Martial Arts Sixth Layer Peak Realm?!!"
"How is that possible?!"
"Impossible! Impossible!"
He said 'impossible' three times in a row.
Fang Yu drew even closer!
Less than ten meters away from Lu Youchao now.
"Martial Arts Ninth Layer, what goes around comes around. Ancestral teachings say: 'Those who cannot enter the path by the age of fifteen are doomed to be wastes forever!' Lu Yu... how on earth did you do it? Impossible! No, you're not Lu Yu... you're definitely not Lu Yu..."
Lu Youchao began to babble incoherently.
But the scene before him rendered Lu Youchao incapable of thought—
Buzz—
The "Death God" in Fang Yu's hand was actually emitting a crimson golden light.
That golden light swirled around the blade, like a gorgeous meteor's tail!
"Martial Arts Seventh Layer?!"
Lu Youchao was completely stunned.
To be able to cause such massive vibration that heats and lights up a metal weapon... this was a miraculous feat only attainable at the Martial Arts Seventh Layer Realm!
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Youchao's heart sank to the bottom!
...
Fang Yu remained expressionless, holding the Death God, he stopped five meters away from Lu Youchao.
...
"Don't kill me... I'll tell! I'll tell everything!"
Lu Youchao kneeled down with a thud.
"This was a bounty mission! It was a bounty mission! No one directed me!"
Fang Yu asked, "Who is the employer?"
"The employer didn't leave a name... he just ordered me to assassinate Fang Yu in Yanjing!"
Lu Youchao was terrified.
He knelt on the ground, not daring to move an inch.
...
Hearing Lu Youchao's confession, Fang Yu shook his head.
The Death God in his hand hummed again,
more piercing than before.
"You!"
Lu Youchao's eyes widened, "You said you wouldn't kill me!"
Fang Yu, sword in hand, said indifferently, "Did I?"
Lu Youchao's mind went blank.
Indeed, it seemed he had never said that!
"I said, you've lost your final chance to confess!"
Fang Yu raised the short sword in his hand, lifted it into the air, zing, its blade grew longer!
The Short Sword turned into a Long Sword!
"Lu Youchao... you are the first to force me to use the fifth strike of Rain Slash... remember, my name is—Fang Yu!"
...
Upon hearing this, Lu Youchao roared:
"Fang Yu, I'll fight you to the death!"
Lu Youchao, teeth gritted, charged forward.
Fang Yu shook his head coldly, another self-destruction attempt?
"Rain Slash, the fifth strike, One Sword Immortal!"
...
With a leap from the ground, sword pointing straight ahead, Fang Yu shot forward like a cheetah, passing over Lu Youchao's body.
Shick!
The move was finished.
Fang Yu, with his back to Lu Youchao, slowly sheathed the Death God.
The Death God reverted back to the Mandala Flower...
Immediately after, with a crack, Lu Youchao split in half.
Fang Yu turned around and walked over to Lu Youchao.
Seeing the bisected corpse, he suddenly exhaled, sweat appearing on his face—
"This Rain Cutting Sword Technique really drains Inner Essence... Struggling to recover to forty percent and it's depleted again!" Fang Yu furrowed his brows slightly.
If Lu Youchao had heard this, he would have been scared half to death, only forty percent recovered Inner Essence and he killed them all!
However...
Fang Yu sighed, "The Rain Cutting Sword Technique is indeed powerful, but it's a pity I'm still not proficient with it, so far I've only managed to use the first five strikes... who knows when I'll be able to master the latter five."
To kill Lu Youchao, he did not choose the fourth strike, but went directly for the fifth strike, considering the consumption of Inner Essence.
Just as Fang Yu was about to go back to rest, a text message alert came from Lu Youchao's phone.
Hmm?
Fang Yu slowly picked up the phone... The message was simple: "Your bank account ending in 216 has been credited with 10,000,000 yuan [Industrial and Commercial Bank]."
Seeing this message, Fang Yu's eyes turned frosty, he took out his phone and called Fan Tong.
"Fan Tong, listen carefully... find out within ten minutes who transferred ten million to Lu Youchao's Industrial and Commercial Bank account! The one ending in 216."
...
Such a matter was not difficult for someone like Fan Tong.
Five minutes had just passed when Fan Tong's call came through—
"Brother Yu, it's been clarified..."
"Speak."
"I hope you don't get angry when I say this."
"I won't be angry," Fang Yu said calmly.
"The account holder is a person named Wang Jie... but after using technical means to investigate, I found that this account has a close business relationship with someone."
"Who?" Fang Yu frowned.
"Ji... Qiu... Bai!"
Bang!
Fang Yu's phone was crushed on the spot.
A raging inferno burned in his heart.
