Chapter 109: Apprenticeship?
Wu Baiyu collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The hall was dead silent.
Whether it was the Jin family members or Li Xiaomo, everyone was staring blankly at Fang Yu.
What they had just witnessed was simply too shocking.
At that moment, no one noticed the fragments of the ghost face mask that had fallen at Fang Yu’s feet, which were emitting waves of black mist.
This black mist began to coalesce in the air again, rapidly rushing towards a middle-aged man standing nearby.
The man’s face changed dramatically, and he let out a startled cry.
But before his voice could fully escape, the wisp of black smoke had already drilled into the top of his head.
Immediately, the man’s expression changed, his eyes turning an eerie white.
Moments later, he let out a horrific scream, his body twisting before suddenly going rigid in place.
Blood began to flow from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears…
Blood gushed from all seven orifices! He died suddenly!
Seeing this scene, the others present screamed in terror, trembling all over!
Fang Yu also did not expect that after shattering the mask, the vengeful spirit could actually reassemble.
After the man died, the vengeful spirit drilled out from the top of his head and flew towards another person!
This vengeful spirit was frantically searching for a suitable host! It needed a body that could withstand its soul power!
However, the vast majority of those present were mere mortals, completely unable to bear the power of this vengeful spirit.
As soon as it entered a body, the original soul would be torn apart. Their physical bodies would instantly lose their vitality due to the overwhelming power of the vengeful spirit.
Screams filled the hall, as everyone feared becoming the next target of this vengeful spirit.
Fang Yu focused on the vengeful spirit darting around in the air, ready to take action.
But at that moment, the vengeful spirit seemed to have discovered something and rushed towards a little girl.
In the next second, it drilled into the top of the girl’s head!
“Jiaru!” Jin Deyuan, standing nearby, turned pale and shouted.
The little girl, about five or six years old, was very cute, with big, sparkling eyes and shiny black pupils that twirled around.
At this moment, she looked confused, gazing up at her father, who was on the verge of tears.
“Dad, what’s wrong?” she asked.
“Huh?”
Fang Yu looked at the little girl, his expression shifting slightly.
After the thousand-year vengeful spirit entered the little girl’s body, she seemed completely fine?
The younger the age, the more fragile the soul, and the physical body was even more so.
According to logic, once the thousand-year vengeful spirit entered the little girl’s body, her original soul should have instantly dissipated, and her body would have exploded.
But she showed no reaction at all?
Could it be…
Fang Yu looked at the little girl, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He quickly stepped forward and placed his hand on the little girl’s head.
A chilling scream echoed from within the little girl.
Jin Deyuan watched Fang Yu nervously, trembling all over.
Fang Yu slowly raised his hand.
The vengeful spirit was forcibly pulled out from the little girl’s body by Fang Yu!
The black smoke that the vengeful spirit transformed into appeared beneath Fang Yu’s palm, twisting and trying to break free from his grasp.
“You’re not getting away this time.” Fang Yu turned his hand over, and a faint red energy ignited in his palm.
“Zizizi…”
The sound of burning echoed, accompanied by the spirit’s piercing screams.
This thousand-year vengeful spirit was being burned in Fang Yu’s hand, releasing puffs of white smoke…
After about ten seconds, the screams that filled the hall finally ceased.
This thousand-year vengeful spirit was completely obliterated, never to be reborn.
The little girl looked up at Fang Yu, her eyes still filled with confusion.
Seeing that his daughter was unharmed, Jin Deyuan excitedly picked her up and gratefully said to Fang Yu, “Thank you, Master, thank you, Master…”
Fang Yu ignored Jin Deyuan and walked over to the unconscious Wu Baiyu, crouching down and slapping Wu Baiyu’s face to wake him up.
Wu Baiyu looked at Fang Yu in front of him, his eyes filled with fear.
“I heard you have many demon beast inner cores,” Fang Yu said.
Wu Baiyu’s expression changed slightly, and then hope flickered in his eyes as he nodded repeatedly, saying, “I have twenty-three demon beast inner cores… as long as you spare my life, I will give you all of them.”
“Deal.” Fang Yu smiled.
Wu Baiyu felt immense pain; after all, he had originally planned to sell these twenty-three inner cores at an auction for at least a million yuan, but now he had to give them away for free.
But in the face of life, money meant nothing.
As long as he could keep his life, he would eventually find a way to recoup this loss from Fang Yu and make him pay for what he had done today!
Thinking this, Wu Baiyu felt much better.
He took out a storage bag from his waist, channeled his energy, and retrieved a wooden box containing the twenty-three demon beast inner cores.
Fang Yu took the wooden box, opened it, and his eyes lit up.
Indeed, there were twenty-three demon beast inner cores. Although they were all low-tier inner cores of levels two and three, the quantity was impressive.
At the same time, Fang Yu noticed the storage bag in Wu Baiyu’s hand.
He hadn’t seen one of these for a long time.
Three thousand years ago, storage bags were considered the most basic magical artifacts, and almost every cultivator had one.
But now, storage bags had become rare treasures, quite uncommon.
“Give me that storage bag too,” Fang Yu said.
Wu Baiyu’s expression changed.
This storage bag was something he had spent a tremendous amount of resources to obtain from a merchant in the Western Regions; it was priceless to him.
But upon meeting Fang Yu’s cold gaze, all his thoughts vanished.
He knew he was in no position to bargain with Fang Yu now.
“…No problem.” Wu Baiyu’s face fell as he handed the storage bag over to Fang Yu.
“Good.” Fang Yu accepted the storage bag, smiling.
Wu Baiyu, however, felt an overwhelming resentment.
Once he returned to his clan, he would definitely have the clan leader and the elders come together to seek revenge on Fang Yu!
Everything he had lost today, he would get back!
At that moment, Fang Yu pressed his right hand on Wu Baiyu’s head.
“What are you doing!?” Wu Baiyu’s face changed dramatically.
“Don’t worry, I said I wouldn’t kill you, so I won’t. But there will still be punishment,” Fang Yu said淡淡地, a red glow appearing in his hand.
Wu Baiyu felt his cultivation slowly fading away.
His realm dropped from half-step master to innate tenth stage, eighth stage, fifth stage, first stage… until it completely vanished!
His dantian became empty, and the results of decades of cultivation were gone!
“What… what kind of technique is this…”
Wu Baiyu’s face turned ashen, and he felt darkness closing in, nearly fainting.
Fang Yu stood up, glanced at Wu Baiyu, and said, “Go back and tell your clan not to provoke me again, or I won’t hesitate to head southwest and wipe out your stronghold.”
…
Li Xiaomo was still sitting on the ground, staring blankly at Fang Yu as he approached.
“Today was a good harvest; I’m leaving,” Fang Yu said.
“…Oh.” Li Xiaomo stood up, but her legs felt weak, and she nearly fell, quickly grabbing onto Fang Yu’s arm.
“Are you that scared?” Fang Yu glanced at Li Xiaomo and said.
Li Xiaomo quickly released Fang Yu’s arm, her cheeks slightly flushed as she said, “I-I’m sorry, Mr. Fang…”
Seeing that Fang Yu was about to leave, Jin Deyuan hurriedly brought the little girl to Fang Yu and bowed deeply.
The other members of the Jin family followed behind Jin Deyuan, bowing to Fang Yu together.
Without Fang Yu, with so many people present today, the outcome would have been dire!
“Thank you, Master, for your help; otherwise, my daughter’s life would have been in danger…”
He bowed to Fang Yu and then to Li Xiaomo.
“Miss Li, thank you for bringing this master; our Jin family has no way to repay you…”
Li Xiaomo quickly waved her hand. She had previously told Jin Deyuan that she would come to the Jin family, but her purpose was merely to buy the more than twenty demon beast inner cores from Wu Baiyu.
She never anticipated that things would escalate to this point.
Fang Yu looked at the little girl and said, “Her talent is outstanding, and her physique is a rare innate spiritual body. I suggest you send her to cultivate martial arts; with her physique, her future is limitless.”
Jin Deyuan’s eyes widened as he looked at Fang Yu, unable to articulate his excitement: “M-Master… is what you said true?”
“Mm.” Fang Yu nodded.
Jin Deyuan immediately knelt down and shouted to the little girl beside him, “Jiaru, quickly kneel and apprentice yourself!”
Fang Yu frowned slightly, about to speak.
“Master, please accept my daughter as your disciple! Our Jin family is willing to serve you; just give us your orders…” Jin Deyuan bowed his head to Fang Yu.
Beside him, Jin Jiaru imitated him and also knelt down, bowing to Fang Yu.
