Chapter 123: Testing the Physical Body
Seeing Fang Yu suddenly stop, Xia Tinghe’s expression changed, and she quickly hid behind a large tree nearby.
At this moment, Fang Yu had already reached the sidewalk next to Lijiang.
There was no one else around; it was very quiet.
Fang Yu turned around, facing the direction where Xia Tinghe was hiding, and said, “Come out.”
“How did he find me? I was keeping a safe distance!” Xia Tinghe was puzzled and was about to step out.
Just then, two figures emerged from behind the tree in front of her.
Seeing these two figures, Xia Tinghe’s expression changed again, and she quickly shrank back behind the tree.
The two approached the sidewalk, facing Fang Yu.
One man and one woman; the man looked refined, resembling a scholar, while the woman had bulging eyes, a sharp chin, and her features appeared quite uncoordinated.
“No wonder there’s a one-hundred-million-dollar bounty on him; he really isn’t easy to deal with,” the man said expressionlessly.
From the aura emanating from these two, it was clear they were both at the twelfth level of Qi Refinement, which meant they were half-step masters.
“One hundred million dollars is enough to make you all come to me to die? Your lives really aren’t worth much,” Fang Yu shook his head and said.
The cultivation level of these two did not pique Fang Yu’s interest at all.
They were too weak.
The woman noticed the disdain in Fang Yu’s eyes and a mocking smile appeared on her face.
They were known as the Yin-Yang Twin Ghosts, ranked thirty-second on the dark list, a duo that struck fear into countless people.
As assassins, their methods were different from typical killers; they preferred to confront their targets head-on rather than strike from the shadows.
Before this, they had completed over a thousand missions without a single failure.
Among those, three missions had targets who were master-level experts!
Those master-level experts had once looked at them with the same disdainful gaze.
But in the end, they had died extremely miserable deaths.
“I will twist your head off; I hope you won’t regret this moment,” the woman said coldly, looking at Fang Yu.
The man’s gaze was icy, fixed on Fang Yu.
They knew Fang Yu’s strength wouldn’t be weak, but from the aura he exuded, he seemed to be just an innate martial artist at best.
No matter how strong an innate martial artist was, they could never surpass a master.
Thus, they were absolutely confident they could claim the one-hundred-million-dollar bounty!
Hiding behind the tree, Xia Tinghe was shaken by their conversation, her eyes wide with horror.
A one-hundred-million-dollar bounty!?
What had Fang Yu done to warrant such a price on his head?
Who were these man and woman? The aura they emitted seemed very strong…
Just as Xia Tinghe was filled with doubt, the man and woman on the sidewalk suddenly moved.
Both of them formed hand seals, and their auras erupted simultaneously.
Fang Yu stood still, watching them with great interest.
He actually hoped they would show a bit more strength so he could better test his current physical body.
After forming their seals, the man and woman shouted in unison, extending a palm toward each other.
“Boom!”
A burst of white energy ignited around the man, while the woman was enveloped in black energy.
At this moment, the aura they emitted was several times stronger than before, vaguely exuding the might of a master.
“So it’s a joint cultivation technique,” Fang Yu said, his expression calm and unperturbed.
Joint cultivation is a unique method, originally quite niche. It was only after the emergence of the Hehuan Sect that it gained prominence.
Due to its ability to rapidly enhance cultivation, joint cultivation was sought after by many practitioners looking for shortcuts.
There are many types of joint cultivation techniques; some can accelerate the cultivation speed of both parties, while others, like the pair before him, can cause a sudden explosive increase in strength.
“Not bad, now they are two masters… just right for me to test the strength of this body,” Fang Yu’s eyes sparkled.
At this moment, fifty meters away, behind a tree, Xia Tinghe felt the master-level aura emanating from the pair, her face turned pale, and her eyes filled with fear.
These two who wanted to kill Fang Yu were actually martial arts masters!
Fang Yu only had the cultivation of innate seventh stage, which was even lower than hers; how could he possibly contend with them?
Should she notify her grandfather to send someone to save Fang Yu?
But there was no time for that! Given the current situation, before reinforcements could arrive, Fang Yu would be killed by this pair!
What to do? What should she do?
Should she just go out and stop them?
But Xia Tinghe’s cultivation was only innate ninth stage, and her combat ability was not strong.
If she stepped out, she wouldn’t be able to help Fang Yu and would instead fall into danger herself.
The aura emanating from the pair was extremely uncomfortable and exuded a dangerous vibe; they were definitely not good people.
If she were discovered hiding here, she would likely face danger as well.
After some thought, Xia Tinghe realized that her best choice was to leave this place quickly while the pair hadn’t noticed her! She shouldn’t provoke trouble and lose her mind!
But if she just left like that, Fang Yu would probably…
Although she didn’t have much affection for Fang Yu, he was still a living being…
Xia Tinghe’s face was pale, her heart in turmoil.
At that moment, the pair on the sidewalk had already attacked Fang Yu.
The woman drew a black whip from her waist and dashed toward Fang Yu.
Her speed was incredibly fast, and her aura was extremely strong!
As she moved, the man also took out his weapon, a sharp silver spike that glinted coldly.
At this point, the woman had already reached Fang Yu, swinging the whip toward his head.
The whip, made of black iron, appeared soft but was incredibly powerful.
If it struck directly, even a boulder would shatter!
Facing the lethal strikes from the woman and man, Fang Yu remained standing, showing no intention of dodging!
“Is this bastard scared silly? Why isn’t he dodging at all?” Xia Tinghe, witnessing this scene, turned pale.
The man and woman both wore mocking smiles.
The one-hundred-million-dollar bounty was as good as theirs!
This Fang Yu was utterly defenseless!
Just as the whip was about to strike Fang Yu’s face, he suddenly raised his right hand.
“Dare to block with your body? Seeking death!” The woman’s mocking smile widened, knowing that in the next second, her whip would slice Fang Yu’s hand in half!
But the next second, a golden light erupted from Fang Yu’s outstretched right hand.
“Clang!”
The whip was firmly grasped in Fang Yu’s hand.
And Fang Yu’s right hand showed no signs of injury.
The woman’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“With this little strength, how can you claim the bounty?” Fang Yu shook his head and said.
The woman gritted her teeth, trying to pull the whip away from Fang Yu’s right hand, but found she couldn’t move it at all.
Her eyes turned cold as she released the whip, took a step back, and gathered her true energy, unleashing her strongest aura as she struck toward Fang Yu’s abdomen.
With this strike, she used all her strength; she couldn’t believe Fang Yu wouldn’t die!
“Bang!”
The woman’s palm struck Fang Yu’s abdomen, producing a loud sound.
“Ah…”
Fang Yu remained standing, while the woman let out a scream, her entire right arm instantly turning into a mist of blood!
Not only did her strike fail to injure Fang Yu, but she was also rebounded, losing her right arm!
The woman staggered back several steps, looking at Fang Yu with only fear in her eyes!
The man nearby saw this scene, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately began to chant a spell.
The silver spike floated in front of him, shimmering with silver light.
“Go!”
The man shouted, pointing at Fang Yu’s position.
“Whoosh!”
A piercing sound echoed through the air as the silver spike, wrapped in white true energy, instantly vanished from sight, targeting Fang Yu’s heart!
In an instant, the silver spike was right before Fang Yu’s left chest.
The sharp tip was mere centimeters away from Fang Yu’s left chest.
Fang Yu remained standing, not even raising a hand, making it impossible to dodge the silver spike!
“Die!” The man’s eyes were fierce.
“Bang!”
The sharp tip of the silver spike struck Fang Yu’s left chest.
Such a powerful impact would pierce even a martial arts master’s chest!
However, the next scene made the man’s and woman’s hearts skip a beat!
