Urban Supernatural Medical Saint

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

Turning around slowly, the person walked back at a snail's pace.

The moonlight fell on the figure; who else could it be but Jiang Xue?

Her face was etched with terror, her whole body trembling...

Her eyes brimming with tears.

Thump... Jiang Xue knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I was wrong... I was wrong, I am truly sorry..."

"Please spare me... spare me..."

Jiang Xue was so frightened that her words were incoherent.

However, Fang Yu had no sympathy for her and said, "Want me to spare you? Fine, kill Lu Tianyuan."

Dong.

He kicked a broken sword over to her.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xue picked up the sword, bared her teeth, and lunged at Lu Tianyuan.

"No—"

Pfft!

The broken sword plunged straight into his heart.

He was a dying man anyway; what did it matter if he died sooner than later?

At this moment—

Chen Daotian came to Fang Yu's side, looked around, and let out a sigh.

"Yu, that's a bit too ruthless."

Fang Yu's face remained indifferent as he said, "Survival of the fittest. If I weren't ruthless, I wouldn't have survived to this day."

Chen Daotian nodded.

Isn't that the most helpless universal truth?

"What about her?" Chen Daotian pointed at Jiang Xue.

"Don't bother with her. Barely clinging to life is more painful than death," Fang Yu said as he stood with his hands behind his back and walked towards the stairs.

"Yu, where are you going?"

Chen Daotian was puzzled; shouldn't they be going down the mountain?

"To the Ninth Layer Hall!" Fang Yu said earnestly.

Chen Daotian jumped in shock and said, "Aren't almost all the core members of the Lu family taken care of? Perhaps... we should go down the mountain instead?"

Seeing Chen Daotian looking like a scared mouse wanting to run, Fang Yu stopped him from leaving and said, "Come here!"

"Oh."

He obediently followed.

Fang Yu looked ahead, where the moonlight provided some illumination, yet it still seemed gloomy and gave one the chills.

"The ashes of our parents have not been retrieved; leaving now would mean all our efforts were in vain," Fang Yu stated solemnly. "I suspect the injuries you sustained were from his sneak attack... it must have been Mo Chengkong!"

Mo Chengkong?

Hearing this name, Chen Daotian was astonished and then burst out cursing, "That despicable coward, always lurking in the shadows, ambushing others!"

Fang Yu spoke calmly,

"This person had a plan against me from the very beginning. Challenging the ranking was just done in passing... The Nine Layers Hall is built in a circular shape, unless he can fly, there's no way he could have retreated the same way under my watch."

"So you're saying that this Mo Chengkong is very likely hiding in the Nine Layers Hall?" Chen Daotian surmised.

Fang Yu merely nodded.

Chen Daotian furrowed his brows, "Who exactly is this Mo Chengkong? Why is he targeting you?"

This time, Fang Yu didn't answer.

This involved the Dark Web.

It wasn't convenient to disclose too much.

Moreover, he was uncertain of Mo Chengkong's strength; the man could quite possibly be an Innate Cultivator. Saying too much might end up fully overheard.

Before long, the two arrived at the plaza of the Nine Layers Hall.

The lighthouse of the Nine Layers Hall illuminated the entire plaza.

The surroundings were eerily quiet.

It appeared even more sinister and frightening.

"It seems like there's no one around!?" Chen Daotian looked around inquisitively.

Fang Yu was also searching carefully.

Just as Chen Daotian had said, they found nothing.

"Be careful."

Fang Yu stepped into the plaza first.

There was no sign of movement.

When they reached the center of the plaza, the two men stood firm.

The plaza of the Ninth Layer was incredibly vast, comparable in size to four or five football fields!

Not a single thing in sight.

"What's going on?" Chen Daotian couldn't help but ask.

"It is said that there is an ancient strong being in seclusion within the Ninth Layer Hall, the strongest person of the Lu Family, who I have never seen since I was born... and is still in seclusion to this day," Fang Yu said slowly.

"Wow, how many years has he been in seclusion? Can he survive without eating or drinking?" Chen Daotian exclaimed.

"It's probably been a hundred years!" Fang Yu's words were shocking!

"Damn! Don't scare me! How old must he be?" Chen Daotian's face was filled with shock.

"I don't know."

Fang Yu did not know much about the strongest person of the Lu Family.

Since going into seclusion, the Lu Family seldom spoke of this person, and gradually, few people mentioned him.

"This wide, open square having someone? That would be weird! Unless it's a ghost!" Chen Daotian said contemptuously, "I think it's just the Lu Family scaring you on purpose!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Whoosh, a shadow flashed across the front of the square.

Beneath the night sky, the shadow moved swiftly like the wind, hiding behind a column.

"A ghost?" Chen Daotian was stunned.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Fang Yu stared at that column.

But at this moment, another column revealed a fleeting shadow that quickly ran off.

"Where do you think you're going!"

After all, Fang Yu had mastered the Seventh Layer of the Divine Dragon Technique, and ordinary martial artists were no match for him.

With this chase, the speed of the shadow increased.

Whoosh!

Jumping behind the column, it disappeared from sight.

"Mo Chengkong, I know it's you, stop playing tricks... If you're brave enough, come out and fight me fair and square. What kind of person uses underhanded methods to ambush others?" Fang Yu said loudly.

Because it was so silent, his voice easily spread to the surroundings.

Sure enough, behind one of the columns, a voice responded—

"Your reverse psychology isn't bad."

The shadow appeared.

Slowly walking out from behind the column.

Step by step.

Slowly approaching a distance of fifty meters from the two men.

The light from the lighthouse shone on him.

Fang Yu vaguely made out his silhouette.

A man around forty years old, dressed in a suit and shoes, holding two urns of ashes in his hands.

Seeing the ashes, Fang Yu's pupils shrank, and anger ignited in his heart.

"You lured me here with the ashes, just trying to use the Lu Family's hand to kill me off. What a clever scheme!" Fang Yu applauded.

"You're quite smart... I didn't expect you to be not only intelligent but also so powerful. Even Lu Tianyuan is no match for you. Tsk tsk tsk... How much blood have your hands been stained with?" the shadow asked.

"Countless." Fang Yu answered with four words.

"Really impressive," the shadow said with a laugh.

Seeing his contemptible demeanor, Fang Yu said sternly, "Mo Chengkong, I know it's you... Tell me, why are you opposing me?"

"You guessed that too? Good job!" Mo Chengkong said with a laugh, "You want to know the reason, there's an easy way."

"What's that?"

"Just go and ask King Yan!" Mo Chengkong said with a smirk.

"Who ends up in Hell remains to be seen," Fang Yu also said with a laugh.

At this moment, Chen Daotian couldn't help but curse:

"Can't you show a little shame? Using someone's ashes, aren't you afraid your son will be born blind?"

Mo Chengkong let out a laugh, a hint of murderous intent in his smile—

"Chen Daotian, this isn't the place for you to act wildly... On the power rankings, even your brother Yu would be put under my thumb, so who the hell do you think you are?"

"I'm a damn master of the Martial Arts Seventh Layer! Are you scared?" Chen Daotian retorted with wide eyes.

Mo Chengkong's expression turned cold as he said:

"Even if it were the Ninth Layer, I wouldn't care! Get lost!"

Gang Qi struck!

Whoosh!

Just as the Gang Qi was about to hit Chen Daotian.

Fang Yu threw a punch to block it, bang, the collision of Gang Qi...

Even so, the residual force of the Gang Qi still made Chen Daotian take two steps back.

Chen Daotian's face was filled with shock, unable to comprehend.

Fang Yu said, "Daotian, you just watch... Remember, this is not something that martial artists can resolve, no matter what happens, don't interfere!"
