Chapter 183: Waiting Just for You
Zhao Youting trembled all over.
He swallowed hard, looking at Fang Yu, and said nervously, "The Black Wood Lotus... isn't in my hands... It's, it's in Zhao Wuyan's hands."
Fang Yu frowned slightly:
"You are Zhao Wuyan's elder, how could a junior like him possess such a valuable item?"
Zhao Youting's voice became a stammering struggle: "I... I am just his, his uncle... The Zhao Family, sooner or later, will all belong to... Zhao Wuyan. I, I have to think for myself. This Antique City, is, is the fallback that I've left for myself..."
"Very well."
The sword in Fang Yu's hand gradually lowered, emitting a chilling glow, "Inform Zhao Wuyan to bring the Black Wood Lotus."
Zhao Youting endured the agony.
"Zhao Wuyan is already on his way... You, you can't kill me."
"Why can't I kill you?" Fang Yu felt amused.
"The Zhao Family, being able to stand tall in Yanjing for so, so many years... how could it be possible that they only rely on the martial artists of the Zhao Family!" Zhao Youting said, "If you, if you spare me... I guarantee, guarantee that from now on, the Zhao Family won't trouble you again..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yu swung his sword!
Swoosh!
"Ah!"
"My leg!"
A leg was instantly severed by the sword in Fang Yu's hand, flying off and rolling across the ruined floor, leaving behind a bloody trail.
"Threaten me?" Fang Yu said indifferently, "I've been waiting for the Zhao Family's hidden card."
"You—"
"If it wasn't for the Jin Family, your Zhao Family would have long disappeared from the world. How dare you spout such big talk here?"
"…"
Zhao Youting's mind went blank.
If he couldn't find any card up his sleeve that could deal with Fang Yu, even the Dark Organization of the Zhao Family was not to be feared, then he found himself truly despairing!
Zhao Youting was drenched in cold sweat with blood slowly draining. If not for his Inner Strength supporting his shattered body, he would have already died from blood loss.
"Do you really disregard the Zhao Family completely?" Zhao Youting mustered the courage and said sternly.
Fang Yu turned around, standing with his hands clasped behind his back.
"It seems, you didn't understand what I meant at all. Forget it, I can't be bothered to explain. In my eyes, you're already dead."
Hearing this, Zhao Youting's eyes flashed with cold light.
"You... Aren't you afraid of the Zhao Family's furious revenge?"
As his words fell, a streak of Sword Light shone.
Swoosh!
Another sword strike, and Zhao Youting's final leg was cut off.
Zhao Youting could no longer control his fear, being in extreme pain and bleeding, he fainted.
Fang Yu glanced at him indifferently.
He slowly turned toward the corner—
Boss Wu's eyes bulged out, staring at the ceiling, in a very awkward pose. Below his legs was all feces.
Clearly, he had been scared witless.
Fang Yu shook his head and found a large vat inside the manor, placing Zhao Youting inside.
Then he set it in the center of the courtyard.
The scene looked extremely terrifying.
And awfully cruel.
But Fang Yu didn't care.
He had personally witnessed his loved ones die in just such a way. Now, he was just letting those who had once harmed the Fang Family experience the taste of being a crippled man.
...
In the courtyard.
Fang Yu sat cross-legged. Resting with closed eyes.
The Mandala petals returned to their original form, hanging in front of his chest.
The manor became extremely silent, devoid of life.
Only inside could one see a river of blood. The stench of blood was spreading everywhere, attracting a large number of flies swarming around, with their buzzing reverberating.
The blood on the ground had turned black.
But Fang Yu didn't feel any disgust or revulsion.
He was used to it, had been for many years.
...
After his breath stabilized, Fang Yu slowly opened his eyes.
"The Fifth Layer Realm of the Divine Dragon Technique is indeed miraculous, to think it could recover my Inner Essence in such a short time."
"Only... What exactly does that Golden Dragon signify?"
He had advanced to the Fifth Layer Heaven for a while now, other than discovering stronger self-healing abilities, there was also that Golden Dragon.
To this day, he had not figured out what it meant.
At this thought.
Fang Yu exhaled a breath of foul air.
"They're here."
His ears quivered a few times. Then, he heard the sound of hastening footsteps not far away.
Fang Yu remained motionless, continuing to sit cross-legged in the middle of the courtyard.
The large vat was placed right in front.
Tap tap.
Tap tap...
Led by Zhao Wuyan, four hooded men in black robes rushed into the courtyard swiftly.
They were completely shocked by the scene before them.
The stench of blood wafted over.
Zhao Wuyan stepped back in horror several steps!
At the same time, he saw corpses stacked up in a corner!
His mind was in turmoil.
"Young Master, be careful." A man in a black robe slowly stepped in front of Zhao Wuyan.
Their gaze finally fell on Fang Yu and that large vat.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle…" Zhao Wuyan's eyes almost fell out.
Under his call, Zhao Youting struggled to open his eyelids.
Unfortunately, he was too weak and feeble to utter a single word.
"Fang Yu!" Zhao Wuyan glared at Fang Yu hatefully.
Only then did Fang Yu slowly rise to his feet.
Stretching lazily.
"Sorry you're late... I got itchy hands, so I practiced on them first."
"You!" Zhao Wuyan was too shocked to speak properly.
"Zhao Wuyan, did you bring the Black Wood Lotus?" Fang Yu went straight to the point.
"You kill my clan members! And you still have the nerve to audaciously ask for the Black Wood Lotus! Today, if I don't flay you alive, I swear I'm not human!" Zhao Wuyan staggered back several steps.
Fang Yu sighed helplessly:
"The entire manor, only Zhao Youting is your clansman! Everyone else is just for the funeral rites, and look how angry you get!"
Yes, after all that effort, only Zhao Youting had been killed.
This is far from enough compared to the massacre of the entire Fang Family back then!
"Fang Yu! I underestimated you..."
"Unfortunately, you must die today!"
Zhao Wuyan gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Fang Yu shook his head: "It's always the same tune, so confident... Do you really think I was born yesterday? A bunch of blind and ignorant fools!"
"Let's see who's the arrogant one, you'll find out in a moment."
Zhao Wuyan enunciated each word, "Even Lu Tianyuan, a peak Martial Arts Seventh Layer master, doesn't dare to touch the Zhao Family! What are you in comparison!"
Fang Yu's expression turned solemn.
Zhao Wuyan waved his hand, "Dark Guardians, heed my command, kill him!"
Yet, the four men didn't immediately move.
Compared to Zhao Wuyan, these four cloak-clad men were much smarter.
They were assessing risks, calculating their target's strength.
"The Dark Organization. Large in size, having recruited many experts from all walks."
Fang Yu spoke deliberately.
The cloak-clad man in the forefront indifferently asked, "Are you Fang Yu?"
"Yes."
With a hoarse voice, the cloak-clad man said, "We didn't expect, you know so much about us."
Fang Yu smiled, "Just so-so. I've been waiting for you!"
Zhao Wuyan gritted his teeth:
"Why are you still talking nonsense with him? Kill him now, and I'll reward you handsomely!"
"Yes!"
The four immediately surrounded him.
Fang Yu smiled slightly:
"Only four of the Dark Five Protectors came, what a disappointment."
One of them snorted coldly, "Four of us against you is more than enough!"
Suddenly, the four men started spinning.
Cloaks billowing.
"Metal!"
"Wood!"
"Water!"
"Earth!"
The four Dark Protectors voiced out simultaneously.
Zhao Wuyan exclaimed with excitement, "Very good, Five Elements Formation! Even if you're at Martial Arts Sixth Layer, you'll fall here!"
This was the very reason why even Lu Tianyuan dared not mess with the great martial families.
Behind every family that had stood for a hundred years, there was always some century-old trump card hidden.
For the Zhao Family, it was the Dark Organization.
But—
Fang Yu burst into laughter.
"Five Elements Formation! Missing one element and you still dare call it Five Elements? I spit on that!" Fang Yu spit out!
Whishing sounds filled the air!
The four charged at him simultaneously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fang Yu raised his arm to block, fist and foot connecting.
In one breath, he had exchanged a move with each of the four men.
"Martial Arts Fifth Layer peak?" Fang Yu couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
To have such power at Martial Arts Fifth Layer was not simple.
"Die!" The four cloak-clad men attacked again.
Zhao Wuyan stood with his hands behind his back:
"The Five Elements Cultivation Method of Martial Arts is the foundation of the Zhao Family! Each element can increase power by 30%. When all Five Elements converge, the power can increase by 100%, you're dead for sure!"
So that's how it is.
Fang Yu suddenly leaped backward, sneering:
"I do like such challenging opponents!"
Whish!
The four followed suit.
Joining forces in the attack, they launched towards him.
"Why would the Iron Fist King be a coward!"
He raised his fist to meet the attack.
Immediately, a golden light flickered upon his fist!
Buzz!
Boom—
Both sides retreated simultaneously!
Fang Yu also stepped back several paces!
"Such formidable power!"
The four cloak-clad men were greatly shocked as well, staring dumbfounded at Fang Yu.
"This kid isn't simple, he seems to be more than Martial Arts Sixth Layer!"
"What?" Zhao Wuyan was shocked and alarmed.
Fang Yu relaxed his tingling fists, saying, "To actually withstand my Iron Fist! Your strength isn't simple!"
Just then—
The leading cloak-clad man said gravely:
"Boss, what are you waiting for! You're the only one we're missing!"
From atop the courtyard wall, a shadow leaped into view.
"Here he comes!"
Zhao Wuyan was overjoyed, "The Five Elements are complete now!"
