Chapter 138: Provocation of the Dark Rankings Top Ten!
Flames engulfed Fang Yu, burning for several seconds.
Under such flames, a human body would turn to ashes in just a few seconds!
Yet, Caesar, who was spewing flames from his hands, looked increasingly astonished.
He saw Fang Yu still standing in the flames, showing no signs of being burned.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, a loud noise erupted, and the flames surrounding Fang Yu were instantly extinguished.
Caesar staggered back several steps.
“After recalculating, this person’s combat power is 120, and the danger level is extremely low,” the system in his mind reported.
“How is this possible?” Caesar’s expression changed drastically.
The strength Fang Yu displayed was far beyond this level!
Was the system malfunctioning? But why would it fail at such a critical moment?
“Forget it, devise a quick way to kill him,” Caesar commanded.
“Understood,” the system replied.
Then, in Caesar’s view, the system began analyzing the flaws in Fang Yu’s defenses.
He was full of flaws; using any weapon casually could easily kill Fang Yu without any preparation.
Was the system really malfunctioning today?
It seemed he needed to find time to return to the lab and have someone fix it.
Caesar decided to stop using the system. Both arms transformed into sharp blades as he charged toward Fang Yu again.
Caesar’s speed was incredibly fast, and the two blades sliced through the air, producing a series of piercing sounds.
Fang Yu remained expressionless, dodging one strike after another.
“Boring. With this level of strength, you’re no different from other assassins,” Fang Yu said淡淡地.
The more Caesar attacked, the more alarmed he became. He had exerted his maximum strength and speed, yet Fang Yu handled it with ease.
Yet, the system rated Fang Yu’s combat power at only 120, which was merely the strength of an average innate martial artist!
“What on earth is going on?”
Caesar halted his assault and retreated.
“No matter what, I refuse to believe you can withstand my strongest attack!”
Caesar retreated several dozen meters, sheathing his blades, then brought his palms together.
“Crack…”
Caesar’s two arms merged into one, transforming into a cannon!
The dark cannon barrel aimed at Fang Yu.
“I want to see how you will withstand this shot!” Caesar grinned widely.
A ball of white light gathered in the cannon’s mouth, and a powerful aura emanated from the cannon.
Liu Liansha, hiding to the side, turned pale at the sight.
If Fang Yu died, she would surely not escape!
“Boom!”
A beam of power erupted from the cannon, charging fiercely toward Fang Yu!
Fang Yu stood his ground, extending his right palm.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the explosive light instantly illuminated the entire Jian Nan Village.
A massive pit appeared between Fang Yu and Caesar, with dust swirling everywhere.
If Liu Liansha hadn’t been holding onto the wall beside her, she would have been blown away by the force of the blast.
As the dust settled, Fang Yu still stood in place.
At this moment, Caesar was utterly horrified.
He never expected Fang Yu could withstand his shot.
“Immediate danger! Please defend or evade! Immediate danger! Please defend or evade!” The system’s alarm blared in Caesar’s mind as he remained in shock.
Caesar jolted back to reality, only to find Fang Yu standing right in front of him.
Fang Yu smiled faintly at Caesar, his right hand clenched into a fist.
Caesar’s face turned pale with fear, and the cannon that had merged from his hands quickly transformed into a heavy shield!
“Oh? It can also turn into a shield? Just in time to help me test the power of a punch,” Fang Yu squinted slightly and threw a punch!
“The opponent’s combat power is rising rapidly, the opponent’s combat power is rising rapidly…” the system in Caesar’s mind sounded urgent.
“What is his combat power?!” Caesar asked, his face darkening.
“99898797… The opponent’s combat power has exceeded the preset range and cannot be estimated…”
This was the last sound Caesar heard.
Fang Yu used nearly twenty percent of his strength for this punch.
“Boom!”
A deafening sound erupted.
Almost the instant Fang Yu’s fist made contact, the shield shattered with a loud crash!
“Ah…”
Caesar let out a miserable scream as his body exploded with a loud bang!
The instruments he had inside him scattered and fell to the ground.
“Crackle…”
Many parts were still emitting white smoke.
Fang Yu’s expression was neither happy nor sad; he merely glanced at his fist.
“Another one taken down by my punch…”
The surroundings fell silent. Liu Liansha, hiding behind the wall, stared blankly at Fang Yu, not daring to speak.
After a long while, Fang Yu sighed.
When would he encounter an opponent who could make him break a sweat and exert some effort to defeat?
Otherwise, it was too boring.
…
On the way back, Fang Yu glanced at Liu Liansha beside him and said, “The photos I asked you to take, you got them all, right?”
“Mm… They’re all saved on my phone,” Liu Liansha nodded.
“Tonight, post a thread on the dark web in my name, featuring the corpses of these assassins. Do you understand?” Fang Yu instructed.
“Post on the dark web?” Liu Liansha was taken aback.
“Yeah, you can add some text explaining that I dealt with these assassins. If anyone else is not afraid of death, they can come find me,” Fang Yu said.
“Okay, got it.” Liu Liansha understood Fang Yu’s intention and nodded.
But after walking a few steps, Fang Yu suddenly thought of something.
He wanted Liu Liansha to post this thread to intimidate those weaker assassins.
However, he welcomed any truly strong opponents.
He was eager for a fight and wanted to know how far his strength had come.
Moreover, if a few powerful individuals with foundational cultivation or above came to find him, he could absorb some cultivation and break through to ten thousand layers faster.
After some thought, Fang Yu turned to Liu Liansha and said, “How about this? You can still post the thread, but at the end, provoke the top ten on the dark list. It would be best to incite their anger and draw them to kill me.”
“Provoke the top ten on the dark list?” Liu Liansha’s expression changed.
The top ten on the dark list were elusive figures, whether assassins or mercenaries, they were all renowned in their own right.
Normal people would avoid them at all costs! Yet Fang Yu wanted to actively provoke them?
“Exactly. I’ve made some small progress in my techniques recently and want to find some strong opponents to test my strength,” Fang Yu said.
“…Alright, I’ll do my best to help you… provoke them,” Liu Liansha replied.
…
That night, a heavy bomb was dropped onto the dark web, causing a massive stir.
The cause was a post from an anonymous user.
The content of the post was the corpses of a group of well-known assassins on the dark list, accompanied by the caption: “This is the fate of those who want to claim a one hundred million dollar bounty.”
The photos and that sentence were fine, but what truly caused the uproar were the last two sentences of the post.
“I think the dark list is just a trashy ranking created by a bunch of garbage, with no real value. Look at this so-called superhuman Caesar, ranked nineteenth on the dark list, who couldn’t even withstand a punch from me. Truly pathetic…”
“With a ranking like this, I could easily reach the top of the dark list. What top ten or top twenty? If you’re not convinced, come find me, and I’ll prove it.”
It was like a thunderclap out of nowhere!
Someone actually dared to openly challenge the entire dark list!
Those ranked lower on the dark list were one thing, but Caesar was only ranked nineteenth.
There were eighteen powerful figures ahead of Caesar, each a killing machine; how could they tolerate such blatant provocation?
Within three hours of the post being published, two eye-catching comments appeared below it.
One was from Cobra Modessa, ranked thirteenth on the dark list, and the other was from Sinner Kane, ranked seventh.
“I just happen to be heading to the Nine Provinces soon; I’ll meet you there and conveniently earn that one hundred million dollars,” Cobra Modessa commented.
“I’ll chop off your head, and from now on, your name will be next to the dark list title,” Sinner Kane commented.
Many assassins ranked lower on the dark list left comments supporting these two powerful figures to take action and eliminate Fang Yu.
Originally, these top-ranked figures on the dark list wouldn’t even look at the one hundred million dollar bounty.
But after seeing this post, even if they didn’t take a single cent of the bounty, they would still take action to kill Fang Yu!
