NOVEL NEXT Chapter 185 Promise
Liu Rushi did not expect Fang Yu's strength to be so formidable.
He said somewhat excitedly:
"Could it be that Hall Master Fang's strength has broken through again?"
Fang Yu didn't hide it and said, "Correct."
Upon hearing this, Liu Rushi became even more excited, saying, "There's hope for the Dark Web now!"
"It's good news for you too, isn't it?" Fang Yu looked at Liu Rushi.
Both of them fell into reminiscence at the same time.
Three years ago… Fang Yu was in the stage of rapid progress in strength, but in the Dark Web, he was just an ordinary nobody. To take revenge on the Fang Family early, he had visited Ze State's Jin City several times.
In Ze State, he befriended Liu Rushi, who was also in the Dark Web.
…
"Three years ago, you said if I help you dismantle Zhao Family's trump card, you would help me kill Lu Tianxun," Liu Rushi said indifferently, "I didn't expect three years to pass."
Fang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, time really flies."
"Actually, Hall Master Fang need not worry about the promise made back then. I am willing to help you dismantle the Zhao Family… purely because we have the same experience, and at the same time, annihilating the Dark Organization is also my first S-ranked mission. The Lu Family, I can't touch them, nor do I have the ability to, but for the Zhao Family, I still have confidence!" Liu Rushi said earnestly.
"If it weren't for me, perhaps you wouldn't have taken this S-ranked mission. As a return… I will fulfill the previous promise." Fang Yu said just as earnestly.
One of the main reasons Fang Yu wasn't afraid of the Zhao Family was because he knew very well about the Zhao Family's trump card! And all this intelligence came from Liu Rushi!
"But still, Lu Tianxun is after all a master from the Lu Family. Three years have passed, and his strength may have become even more fearsome," Liu Rushi said slightly pessimistically.
Fang Yu sneered:
"You just need to remember, I will fulfill the promise."
Liu Rushi turned around, facing Fang Yu, with a face full of confusion: "Hall Master Fang, I want to know, why do you hate the Lu Family?"
Upon hearing this question, Fang Yu slightly hesitated.
He looked at Liu Rushi with the same gaze, and said lightly, "Because, they are the Zhao Family's accomplices."
An expected answer.
Liu Rushi had guessed it long ago.
The three great families of Yanjing, the Jin Family and the Zhao Family, expanding so aggressively over the years, couldn't be possible without support from behind.
However…
The Lu Family has never overtly supported the Jin Family and Zhao Family.
"Hall Master Fang, come with me."
Liu Rushi thought of the Black Wood Lotus.
"Hmm."
The two headed towards the main hall.
Along the way, the corpses and debris soaked in blood did not affect them at all.
Entering the inner hall, twisting and turning, they arrived in the study.
Liu Rushi had been infiltrating the Zhao Family for three years, familiar with this place, which was not surprising.
Buzz—
A sound echoed.
A mechanism sprung out from the secret compartment in the study.
The chair next to the bookshelf spun three rounds and protruded upward.
Liu Rushi kicked the chair away and moved the stone on the ground.
A brocade box in ink color appeared in view.
"This is the Black Wood Lotus," Liu Rushi picked up the ink-colored brocade box, without any reluctance, and passed it to Fang Yu.
"Wow… I didn't expect the Zhao Family would hide it here. What exactly is this thing for? It's so valuable," Fang Yu asked.
"It's a kind of medicine, I guess. The people of Zhao Family said it can resurrect the dead, but I don't quite believe it," Liu Rushi said.
"Resurrect the dead?"
Fang Yu was secretly amazed.
If it were just ordinary medicine, Fang Yu wouldn't care much, since he possessed exquisite medical skills.
But resurrection, that was a bit formidable.
Click.
He opened the ink-colored brocade box, and a black lotus-shaped object appeared in front of him.
As the Black Wood Lotus was exposed to the air, Fang Yu seemed to see a streak of flowing light passing over the edge of the Black Wood Lotus's petals.
Truly magical!
Fang Yu believed it!
He could feel the powerful life force contained within the Black Wood Lotus.
A faint fragrance wafted over—
This caused the Inner Essence within his body to surge instantaneously.
"What strong medicinal power!"
Fang Yu was secretly surprised; his Inner Essence inherently possessed healing abilities. His cultivation method also involved using medical skills as an approach. Repairing, regenerating, continuously flowing, these were characteristics of the Divine Dragon Technique.
This Black Wood Lotus also possessed such characteristics.
"Hall Master Fang, I remember there was an SSS-level mission on the Dark Web that seemed to be about collecting Black Wood Lotus," Liu Rushi said with a smile, "Although it's only half a Black Wood Lotus, it's still better than nothing."
"You're right, so I took the mission before I came here," Fang Yu said casually.
Liu Rushi: "..."
Fang Yu put the Black Wood Lotus away and pocketed it.
Suddenly—
Fang Yu swiftly swung his fist, smashing it towards Liu Rushi.
His fist sparkled with golden light!
"Hall Master Fang! What are you doing?" Liu Rushi was shocked!
He had to raise his arms to block.
Boom!
Liu Rushi was sent flying backward. With a plop, he spit out blood.
The wooden window was shattered to pieces.
"You—" Liu Rushi's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
Only then did Fang Yu say with a smile:
"Don't panic! Just suffer a bit for now. The Zhao family still doesn't know you're from the Dark Web. Zhao Wuyan and Zhao Youting, along with the four protectors are all dead. I don't believe Zhao Youdao won't be furious… You go back and report, say that it was I, Fang Yu, who bloodbathed the Zhao family!"
Liu Rushi initially wanted to fight desperately.
After hearing what Fang Yu said, it struck him like an enlightenment.
That's right, all four protectors are dead, and he alone is unscathed, without any issues. It would be strange if they didn't suspect him when he got back.
Liu Rushi slowly got up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said, "I understand."
"Good that you understand," Fang Yu nodded.
"Since that's the case… Hall Master Fang, hit me with another punch," Liu Rushi said.
"Uh…" Fang Yu hesitated.
"With such a tragic scene here, corpses all around, and a bunch of fools dead from Explosive Pills, this little injury of mine is too light."
Liu Rushi seriously said, "Hall Master Fang, come on, hit me!"
My goodness, this guy's realization is high.
Fang Yu nodded his head, raised his hand, and his Inner Essence burst forth.
Boom—
He smashed it directly.
Just like before, Liu Rushi spat out blood once again.
His Inner Core was in chaos.
Cough cough…
Liu Rushi was sweating profusely, and after a while, he struggled to get up from the ground.
Fang Yu grew to admire him; the first punch was when he caught him off guard, as he feared that he wouldn't agree, and for the second punch, Fang Yu didn't expect him to not even try to dodge and took it calmly. Not everyone could have such courage.
"Once you get back, be very careful."
"Rest assured, Hall Master Fang… Although I've been seriously injured, I am still the chief among the five protectors. Now that the four protectors are also dead, the Zhao family is indeed in need of people; they won't do anything to me…" Liu Rushi said.
"Go. This matter cannot be delayed," Fang Yu said.
Liu Rushi bowed to Fang Yu and staggered away.
…
Fang Yu scanned the surrounding environment, this scene resembled that of the Fang Family back then.
He couldn't help but murmur: "The Zhao family has flexed their muscles... Jin Shiji, it will be your turn soon."
Fang Yu had just left.
He then received a text from Chen Daotian: Damn! Did you really make a move? I saw Liu Rushi's rank rose by ten!
