Chapter 755: Killing God Bai Qi? (First Update)
The surging killing intent that burst forth from the steady man truly took Fang Yu by surprise.
Even at his peak, he had never encountered such killing intent.
Nor did he dare to be careless.
He immediately mobilized the vast righteous energy in his body to counter it!
The Super Star Array Hand was unleashed with a thunderous blast.
Boom—
Even so.
Fang Yu still took a step back, unable to help but inwardly exclaim in shock, thinking: So strong!
The steady man had thought that this strike would repel his opponent. He did not expect that it would only make him take one step back.
"Young man... your cultivation is not trivial."
"Nor is yours."
"Ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth... You've blocked one of my moves, but can you withstand two, or three?" The steady man's gaze turned even colder.
Fang Yu was unafraid, standing proudly and said:
"It's too early to tell... who will be the hunter and the hunted. Do you really think I'm just at the Constant Sand Realm?"
Upon hearing this.
The steady man was stunned.
He sized up Fang Yu once again... an upright figure, a calm aura, a temperament undisturbed by danger. After experiencing his oppressive energy, Fang Yu remained unchanged, not affected at all. This display was incredible to him.
Could it be...
He wasn't just at the Saint Rank Constant Sand Realm?
The Constant Sand Realm was at the lower tier within the Saint Rank; those with higher cultivation could easily discern the level of someone with a low-rank cultivation.
The steady man was always confident in his judgments. Only today, upon seeing Fang Yu like this, did he start to doubt himself.
At that moment—
A voice came through.
"It's bad, something terrible has happened... The old master is in trouble! The old master is in trouble!"
The people at the entrance of the village changed color, following the one shouting as he ran back.
The steady man also turned deathly pale, snorting coldly and said:
"Consider yourself lucky today..."
Having said that, he turned and hurried inside.
Fang Yu got curious and followed without fear.
This old master mentioned by them seemed to have an important status. With this incident, the street was empty, and nobody cared about Fang Yu.
In a short while.
Everyone arrived outside a large courtyard.
In the courtyard.
Many people stood in the compound, faces full of worry.
Fang Yu just stood outside, not getting any closer.
He could feel that inside the courtyard, there were many masters, and all were strong figures beyond the Saint Rank.
...
"Grandpa, grandpa..." The girl laid beside the old master's bed, her face streaked with tears.
"Xinxin, your Grandfather Bai is tired..."
"Alas, it's beyond help now. It's already a miracle that Old Bai has lived to such an age. We should come to terms with it..."
"Birth, aging, sickness, and death is the natural order of life. It's a pity... my Bai Clan has no sickness or disasters, yet we cannot withstand the erosion of time."
As the steady man entered the courtyard.
Many people bowed respectfully: "Uncle Bai."
"Uncle Bai."
This man called Uncle Bai, the steady man, had not much expression and said, "In our place, we possess countless heavenly treasures. Is there really not a single thing that can sustain life and grant eternal existence?"
"Alas... it's not that easy. Immortality has always been a lofty pursuit. Here in our tribe... Old Bai has already lived over two thousand years..."
"I have already examined Old Bai, and tried all kinds of elixirs and pills, to no avail. All his bodily functions are declining."
Hearing this.
Uncle Bai heaved a sigh, his face calm as he said, "Prepare... for Old Bai's ascent to heaven. Our clan should send him off with the highest honor!"
"Yes!"
Bai Xinxin upon hearing this.
Cried even more sorrowfully.
"No, no... I don't want Grandfather Bai to go! Grandfather Bai was fine just a moment ago. How could he suddenly be like this? I don't want this, I don't want..."
Bai Xinxin's crying intensified.
People nearby also found it unbearable to watch, yet helpless to stop her.
"Xinxin, you must be obedient! Do not throw a tantrum!"
"Elder Bai has passed away naturally, and it should be a joyous occasion... Why are you crying so sadly? Wouldn't Elder Bai feel distressed if he saw you?"
But.
Bai Xinxin didn't care about that.
She just wouldn't accept it.
The crowd murmured sympathetically.
Just as everyone was at a loss—
Fang Yu pushed through the crowd and said lightly, "Why not let me give it a try?"
The crowd parted of its own accord!
Fang Yu's figure appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone looked at Fang Yu with shocked expressions!
"Insolent rascal, how dare you trespass into our clan!"
"Kick him out! An outsider, his intentions must be questionable!"
"Kill him! Kill him!"
Even Uncle Bai, who had just clashed with Fang Yu, said coldly, "You choose not to take the path to heaven, but barge into the gates of hell instead. Today, your blood will be a sacrifice for Elder Bai!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Fang Yu remained indifferent, sarcastically saying, "A perfectly fine person, and you're insisting on his death... Have you lost your minds?"
The crowd was taken aback.
When they realized what he meant, they became even angrier!
Fang Yu immediately said, "If you don't want Elder Bai to die, then stand still and don't move! If you wish for his death, act now!"
Fang Yu's voice was deep and resonant.
Unexpectedly, it silenced the crowd.
But Uncle Bai wasn't afraid of Fang Yu at all and waved his hand coldly, "Chop him down, and toss his body down the back mountain."
"Yes!"
A group of people surrounded him.
Just as they were about to make a move.
Elder Bai's voice came from inside the house—
"Let him in."
The crowd was astonished.
Uncle Bai froze, whispering, "Elder Bai, we do not know where this man comes from, and I suspect he harbors ulterior motives..."
"Let... him... in..."
"Elder Bai!!"
Before Elder Bai could speak further.
Bai Xinxin cried out, "Uncle Bai, let him in, please! I'm begging you! Uncle Bai..."
Uncle Bai sighed and waved his hand.
Fang Yu glanced left and right.
Everyone was glaring at him with fury.
But he didn't care in the slightest and walked inside.
Inside, the room was brightly lit. It seemed as if there was never a night here. It was like something out of a fairy tale world.
Upon entering the room.
Fang Yu saw an old man lying flat on the bed.
The old man's complexion was ordinary but with a smile on his face.
When he saw Fang Yu enter, he struggled to lean back...
After a while, he shook his head and said, "I never imagined... After more than two thousand years, I could see someone from outside the Secret Realm... Heh."
Fang Yu was taken aback and said, "You know that your tribe is within the Secret Realm."
"Of course I know. I've been in the Secret Realm for more than two thousand years! The people outside... are all my descendants!"
Upon hearing this.
Fang Yu was shocked.
If that's the explanation, then everything made sense.
He really hadn't expected that these people were ancient people from more than two thousand years ago, who had entered the Secret Realm and thrived here.
"Who would have thought the door to the Secret Realm would open again!" The old man sighed deeply.
"As you say, you stumbled into the Secret Realm and have taken root here for two thousand years, is that right? May I ask, who are you, really?"
The old man laughed heartily.
"Young man, you're quite eager..." The old man pointed outside to Uncle Bai, "Do you know who he is?"
"I don't..."
"Bai Qi."
Fang Yu frowned and repeated, "Bai Qi? The historical figure, the Killing God Bai Qi? Are you kidding me?"
