Chapter 1017

Chapter 1017 Subdued

 

The entire conference hall, along with the entire floor of the Hengyuan Hotel, exploded!

A series of screams and cries came from inside.

This was a Hetiqi-stage powerhouse’s life-bound magical artifact, with terrifyingly immense power!

“Where is he?” Cang Yuan didn’t care about affecting others and released his divine sense, covering several hundred meters in all directions.

Under these circumstances, Fang Yu had nowhere to hide!

At this moment, Fang Yu had already appeared above Cang Yuan’s head.

“You little brat, trying to sneak attack?” Cang Yuan chuckled and raised his right finger.

“Whoosh!”

The Silver Swirl Gourd suddenly rushed toward Fang Yu.

Fang Yu threw a punch at the Silver Swirl Gourd, knocking it away again.

At the same time, he raised his right foot.

But by now, Cang Yuan was no longer beneath his foot.

“Young Fang Yu, I’ve long heard that your physical body is formidable. Looking at it now, it truly is—you can actually directly confront the Silver Swirl Gourd… you’re the first one.” Cang Yuan appeared about fifty meters in front of Fang Yu, pointing at him.

“You have Hetiqi-stage cultivation, yet you still judge by appearances? You call me a youngster?” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.

“You’re dissatisfied with how I address you?” Cang Yuan grinned and said, “I didn’t call you a little beast, which is already giving you face.”

As he spoke, Cang Yuan’s right finger moved again.

This time, the Silver Swirl Gourd began to spin as it flew, releasing an even more powerful aura.

Fang Yu stood in place without dodging, directly raising his right hand.

“If you can withstand this attack, I, Cang Yuan, will acknowledge you have some strength!” Cang Yuan laughed loudly seeing Fang Yu’s stance.

A faint smile also appeared on Fang Yu’s face.

In the next second, the Silver Swirl Gourd rushed over, bringing a strong gust of wind.

“Boom!”

The Silver Swirl Gourd collided with Fang Yu’s right palm, releasing a terrifying aura and sound.

The powerful energy spread in all directions, causing the tiles on the plaza below to crack.

But Fang Yu’s body remained motionless.

The Silver Swirl Gourd spun frantically against his palm, seemingly trying to pierce through his right hand.

Fang Yu flipped his right palm and directly grabbed the Silver Swirl Gourd.

Cang Yuan’s expression changed, and he immediately began chanting incantations.

“Boom!”

A powerful beam of light shot out from the gourd’s mouth.

Fang Yu directly pressed his left hand against the gourd’s mouth, completely blocking it!

Seeing this, Cang Yuan’s pupils contracted violently.

But he quickly regained his composure and formed hand seals.

“Hum…”

The Silver Swirl Gourd vibrated violently, releasing powerful energy, trying to break free from Fang Yu’s hands.

“Competing with me in strength?” Fang Yu coldly smiled, his left hand pressing the gourd’s mouth, his right hand gripping the bottom of the gourd.

“Old man Cang Yuan, this gourd is so annoying, it must have been quite expensive, right?”

Fang Yu raised his head, looking at Cang Yuan with a smile.

By now, a thin layer of sweat had appeared on Cang Yuan’s forehead.

He had used all his incantations but still couldn’t make the Silver Swirl Gourd escape from Fang Yu’s hands!

This was his life-bound magical artifact, which couldn’t be lost!

Cang Yuan swallowed and formed hand seals again, chanting more incantations.

“I said earlier that this gourd is too annoying, so…”

Fang Yu revealed a cold smile, his hands gripping the Silver Swirl Gourd and pressing hard!

“Crack…”

The gourd’s body immediately developed cracks, then was directly crushed by Fang Yu.

“Boom!”

A loud explosion in the air!

The true energy contained within the crushed Silver Swirl Gourd exploded, releasing terrifying power.

Light flashed, and even Cang Yuan in the distance was sent flying by the energy wave.

At this moment, those representatives who weren’t injured had already run to the first floor and witnessed this scene.

The Silver Swirl Gourd… had been forcibly crushed by Fang Yu!

This was the life-bound magical artifact of Cang Yuan, ranked twenty-third on the Sacred Rankings!

However, by crushing the Silver Swirl Gourd like this, Fang Yu himself wouldn’t escape unscathed!

The power released by this explosion, even if it couldn’t kill him, would severely injure him!

The light in the sky quickly dissipated.

Fang Yu’s figure appeared, still standing in the same place.

His face, body, and even his clothes… were completely intact.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned.

Cang Yuan, who had been blown away, had a pale face.

Fang Yu turned his head to look at Cang Yuan.

“Puff!”

Cang Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying unsteadily.

The Silver Swirl Gourd, as his life-bound magical artifact, was connected to him as one.

The gourd’s explosion had a tremendous impact on him.

With just this blow, his cultivation had dropped by at least sixty to seventy percent!

“How, how is this possible…”

Cang Yuan looked at Fang Yu, his eyes filled with disbelief, his face covered with shock.

Fang Yu flashed and appeared in front of Cang Yuan.

“Cultivation should be centered on the person. How is it that as you advanced in cultivation, you came to rely entirely on a gourd? You’ve truly confused priorities.” Fang Yu shook his head and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yu raised his right palm and struck toward Cang Yuan’s shoulder.

Cang Yuan’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately tried to dodge.

But how could his speed compare to Fang Yu’s?

“Bang!”

Fang Yu’s palm struck directly on Cang Yuan’s right shoulder.

“Ah…”

Cang Yuan let out an agonizing groan, his body plummeting to the ground.

The crowd below immediately scattered.

“Boom!”

Cang Yuan crashed into the ground, creating a tremendous noise.

Fang Yu looked down at Cang Yuan with indifferent eyes.

In the dust, Cang Yuan’s body was deeply embedded in the ground, unable to move.

Half of his skeleton had been shattered by Fang Yu’s palm.

Now he was in a state worse than death.

But he hadn’t passed out yet, just staring at Fang Yu with wide eyes filled with pain and fear.

This person’s strength… was truly terrifying.

“Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?” Fang Yu raised his head and asked, amplifying his voice with true energy.

Dead silence surrounded him.

The representatives of various families on the ground looked at Fang Yu as if looking at a deity, feeling fear from the depths of their souls, even wanting to prostrate themselves in worship.

Earlier, a casual strike from the Silver Swirl Gourd had affected more than half of the cultivators in the conference hall, causing serious injuries.

Yet Fang Yu had easily crushed the gourd and then trampled Cang Yuan underfoot…

Even a Sacred Rankings powerhouse was no match for Fang Yu… what right did they have to resist?

Fang Yu… indeed had the right to be so arrogant, indeed had the right to challenge the entire Northern Capital’s martial world!

He had that capital!

These representatives present were thoroughly convinced!

“No one else, right? Then remember, don’t provoke me again in the future.” Fang Yu said calmly, “As long as you don’t actively provoke me, I have no interest in dealing with you.”

After speaking, Fang Yu turned to look inside the conference hall.

“Master Fang, I’m here.”

Su Changge appeared beside Fang Yu.

Fang Yu glanced at him and noticed his face was slightly pale, with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth, seemingly injured.

“Are you alright?” Fang Yu asked.

“I didn’t dodge in time… but it’s nothing serious.” Su Changge said.

“That’s good, we can leave now.” Fang Yu said.

Su Changge nodded, glancing at Cang Yuan lying on the ground below, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.

“What? If you’re still upset, go down and step on him a couple of times.” Fang Yu noticed Su Changge’s change in expression and said.

“That won’t be necessary… Master Fang has already taught him a thorough lesson.” Su Changge said, “I was just… thinking about other matters.”

“What matters?” Fang Yu asked.

“These so-called powerhouses… really don’t value the lives of others besides themselves.” Su Changge narrowed his eyes and said, “Cang Yuan’s target was Master Fang, and the people in the conference hall were actually on his side, yet… these people were severely injured, some even died.”

Hearing these words, Fang Yu turned to look at Su Changge.

“Master Fang, now that today’s matter is resolved. After we return… I will explain to you the payment I want… or more precisely, the favor I want to ask of you.” Su Changge also looked at Fang Yu and said seriously.

Since knowing him, this was the first time Fang Yu had seen Su Changge so serious, so he nodded and said, “Alright, but I must say first, I’m not omnipotent, there are many things I cannot do.”

“This matter, Master Fang, you definitely can do.” Su Changge said firmly.

Fang Yu gave Su Changge a deep look, then flashed away, flying into the distance.

Su Changge looked once more at the pitiful Cang Yuan below, took a deep breath, and followed Fang Yu.
