Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

Bai Ruoling said with a light smile:

"How will you prove it to me?"

She looked on with anticipation, arms crossed.

"This place is too small to showcase my true strength!" Fang Yu said.

"Pff, keep pretending. When you're done, I'll still have to kill you," Bai Ruoling, with a gaze sharp as a falcon, didn't believe Fang Yu's words at all.

But Fang Yu was extremely serious.

"I know a place nearby, it's deserted and spacious. Follow me." Fang Yu gestured and walked towards the yard's exit.

"Let's see what tricks you can pull."

Bai Ruoling followed Fang Yu.

The so-called deserted place was an open park affiliated with a luxurious villa area, abundant with trees.

Rich owners rarely visited this park.

The two walked deep into the park.

The light dimmed considerably.

Fang Yu found a spacious area.

After looking around, he picked up a thin and long branch from the ground and said lightly, "Let's use this to prove it."

Seeing the branch, Bai Ruoling looked even more disdainful.

"Are you playing with me?"

Fang Yu shrugged and said, "Why would I play with you? Watch closely."

He lifted the branch and gently performed an opening move.

It was like the action in TV martial arts dramas.

"Rain Slash, First Sword, Snow Falling!"

Fang Yu stomped his foot!

He leapt into the air.

In the moonlight, Fang Yu seemed like a soaring eagle, wings outspread.

At the same time, the branch in his hand, as if commanded, instantly flew towards the surrounding trees!

Swish swish swish!

Whoosh—

The move ended.

Fang Yu slowly descended.

Seeing this, Bai Ruoling was momentarily stunned.

In that instant Fang Yu paused, she indeed felt a strong murderous aura. But... that was all.

Bai Ruoling's gaze swept over the trees, seeing nothing unusual, she said indifferently:

"This, this is your so-called Martial Arts Ninth Layer?"

Fang Yu slowly walked, the moonlight shining on his clothes, exuding an inexplicable aura.

"Yes... aren't you the slightest bit nervous? Not even a bit scared?"

He was very satisfied with the Rain Slash's first sword he had just performed.

"My sister must be blind to fancy a shameless man like you!" Bai Ruoling sneered.

Fang Yu paused, then said:

"Hey, don't slander me, we don't even know each other."

"Cut the nonsense, it's been more than ten minutes! Remember my name, third on the Heavenly List, Bai Ruoling!"

Bai Ruoling extended her pale delicate hand, a refined dagger appearing in her palm.

Moonlight reflecting off it, casting an unusual chilling light.

Third on the Heavenly List, truly fitting.

Fang Yu, who had always been treading on the edge of danger, felt a strong murderous aura from Bai Ruoling.

But he, not the slightest bit panicked, remained calm and composed, as light as a breeze and as faint as a cloud.

Fang Yu revealed a slight smile and calmly said:

"I know why you're not afraid now... the effect wasn't shocking enough, right? Look closely—"

He raised his right hand, the wind swept by, and snap... a loud snap of his fingers.

The moment the sound expanded—

Creak!

Creak creak!

Creak creak creak—

Boom!

Boom boom!

The surrounding trees, one after the other, fell down.

Centering from the defense, all the trees within a twenty-meter radius fell!

Night descended.

The moonlight grew brighter.

The park became even more silent. The silence was somewhat terrifying.

Bai Ruoling stopped in her tracks, as if an immobilization spell had been cast on her, her beautiful eyes filled with horror.

Her lips parted slightly, her face showing shock!

This...

How is that possible?!

Releasing Inner Strength externally! This is an astonishing technique only found in legends! People enjoy watching TV shows, where martial artists often use True Qi to move mountains and seas.

In reality, in Martial Arts, Inner Strength forms the foundation, and there is no such thing as True Qi. Inner Strength flows through the meridians and bones. The most powerful martial artist Bai Ruoling had ever seen could only enhance weapons with Inner Strength.

She herself could also enhance weapons with Inner Strength!

But...

Releasing Inner Strength externally was almost impossible.

There was only one possibility—Inner Strength had transformed into another state that could be released externally!

At this thought,

Bai Ruoling trembled—

"This... is this the Nine Layers of Heaven?"

After a long pause, she finally asked this question.

Fang Yu's expression remained the same, a smile on his face as he said, "If you insist on understanding it that way, then suppose it is."

"Nine... Layers of Heaven!"

Even though Bai Ruoling was the third-ranked assassin on the Heavenly List, the thought of these three words made her shiver uncontrollably, and her palms were instantly sweaty.

"How about it, are you scared?" Fang Yu said indifferently.

Looking at Fang Yu's nonchalant expression, Bai Ruoling became nervous.

The foot she had stepped forward, she now wanted to retract.

Fang Yu, sharp-eyed, noticed this and smiled, "You don't have to be nervous... Tell me, your reason for wanting to kill me. If you can convince me, I might consider letting you go."

Bai Ruoling's expression turned ugly.

Her confidence was completely shattered by Fang Yu's performance in an instant.

"You really don't know?" Bai Ruoling asked.

"If I knew, would you still be alive?" Fang Yu retorted, "I don't trouble those who don't trouble me. I have always kept my distance from you Heavenly List assassins..."

"Iron Fist King is supposed to kill without blinking, isn't he?" Bai Ruoling said.

"Slander, all slander! I'm very reasonable, okay?" Fang Yu spread his hands.

Indeed, Fang Yu had no need to lie to her.

Even though he seemed a bit silly.

Bai Ruoling sighed and said, "My sister, last week, died."

"Your sister?"

"Bai Manru."

Bai Manru?

Fang Yu couldn't recall her for a moment. After pondering briefly, an image of a passionate woman with red lips appeared in his mind.

"Her?"

No wonder he felt a trace of familiarity when he saw Bai Ruoling... It was this sliver of familiarity that saved Bai Ruoling's life. Otherwise, Fang Yu would have already acted on his killer instinct, leaving no time for explanations.

"Miss Bai, I think you have misunderstood. Bai Manru's death has nothing to do with me," Fang Yu seriously said.

Bai Ruoling looked at Fang Yu and said,

"My sister had cancer. She said she hoped to have a passionate romance before she died, to lose her virginity. Unfortunately, she never met a man who moved her heart, until... she met you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu's eyes widened, "No way... Isn't that too melodramatic?"

"She still died."

As she spoke, Bai Ruoling's expression turned sad.

Fang Yu, seeing her sorrowful look, sighed and said, "Death is irreversible, and birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable. But... blaming me for it is really speechless, you know?"

"You didn't have a romance with her?" Bai Ruoling exclaimed.

"Nonsense, do I look like that kind of person?" Fang Yu said earnestly.

Hearing this, Bai Ruoling frowned slightly, "I didn't expect my sister to be so pitiful, not able to fulfill her final wish even in death."

"Ah, it's good that the misunderstanding is resolved. I won't kill you, you can go," Fang Yu waved his hand and turned to leave.

"Wait." Bai Ruoling suddenly said.

"What?"

"I promised my sister that I would fulfill her wish," Bai Ruoling looked at Fang Yu intently.

"You can't be serious... How can you fulfill it? She's already dead... You can't possibly think about finding someone to date her," Fang Yu suddenly felt a bit creepy.

"Yes!"

Bai Ruoling stepped forward, stating emphatically, "We Bai sisters have always been in tune. Either I date you, or you let me kill you—"

Fang Yu widened his eyes, "Damn! Are you nuts?"
