Chapter 165: Intimidation!
Behind Han Qi and Chen Luo stood eight master-level followers.
Han Qi and Chen Luo themselves were also masters.
In total, they had ten masters on their side.
While on Zhong Yuan’s side, there were only two masters, their overall strength was not even in the same league as their opponents.
It would be effortless for Han Qi to kill them.
However, Zhong Yuan refused to accept this!
Their Zhong family had lost two master-level elders, and they discovered the spirit spring first, yet in the end, they wouldn’t get any benefits!?
Zhong Yuan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he looked at Han Qi’s pale face.
“Young Master Zhong, you seem very unhappy,” Han Qi narrowed his eyes and said sinisterly.
Zhong Yuan’s expression changed slightly as he forced a smile and said, “No, not at all.”
“Sigh, forget it, I’m just too soft-hearted. How about this, I’ll allow each of you to take one cup of spirit spring water. Right now, one cup of spirit spring water sells for a million! Each of you taking one cup means you’ll earn about four to five hundred thousand, so it’s not a complete waste of time.”
Han Qi said.
Seeing Han Qi’s mocking smile, Zhong Yuan felt utterly humiliated and angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Their Zhong family might be the top martial arts family in Jiangnan, but in Huaibei, they were nothing.
Neither the Han family nor the Chen family were entities the Zhong family could afford to offend.
While Han Qi and Zhong Yuan were talking, Chen Luo was quietly observing the surroundings.
His attention wasn’t on the spirit spring ahead, but elsewhere.
Suddenly, he noticed that Fang Yu had disappeared from Zhong Yuan’s group.
Chen Luo frowned slightly and looked at Zhong Li Yu, asking, “Where did Fang Yu go?”
Zhong Li Yu’s expression changed slightly, she hadn’t expected Chen Luo to suddenly ask about Fang Yu’s whereabouts.
At the same time, she was unsure whether she should tell Chen Luo the truth.
Seeing Zhong Li Yu’s silence, Chen Luo’s eyes flashed with an unusual light as he said, “If you tell me, I can give part of the spirit spring’s usage rights to your Zhong family.”
“Young Master Chen Luo, are you telling the truth!?”
Before Zhong Li Yu could speak, Zhong Yuan turned around with delight on his face.
“Of course,” Chen Luo nodded.
“Fang Yu jumped into the spirit spring! He hasn’t come up yet, and there were tremors from below just now…” Zhong Yuan said urgently.
“Jumped into the spirit spring?” Chen Luo was stunned, turned to look at the spirit spring, his expression changing.
This is bad!
Fang Yu found it first!
Almost instantly, a terrifying aura burst forth from Chen Luo’s body!
Being close by, the weaker Zhong Li Yu and Zhong Yuan were directly knocked to the ground by this aura.
“Fang Yu… you dare steal my opportunity?”
Chen Luo’s eyes turned cold as he leaped into the spirit spring!
“Brother Chen!”
Seeing Chen Luo jump into the spirit spring, Han Qi’s expression changed.
He turned to Zhong Yuan and asked, “What’s down there in the spirit spring?”
Zhong Yuan, sitting on the ground, could only show shock as he said, “I don’t know.”
Zhong Yuan didn’t seem to be lying, so Han Qi didn’t ask further, instead walking to the spirit spring and looking down.
He could only see pale blue spring water, unable to see what was beneath.
“What exactly is down there? Why did Chen Luo jump down in such anger?” Han Qi narrowed his eyes in thought.
…
In the underground space, except for where Fang Yu was, everywhere else had frozen into thick ice layers.
The light emanating from the spirit vein was much dimmer than before.
This indicated that most of the spiritual energy contained in the spirit vein had been absorbed by Fang Yu.
However, Fang Yu’s expression wasn’t good at this moment.
He was like someone who had eaten too much, his dantian was swollen, feeling very uncomfortable.
Moreover, his meridians were also painfully distended from the rushing spiritual energy.
Additionally, because the spiritual energy absorbed from the spirit vein was too pure to be directly absorbed.
Therefore, Fang Yu couldn’t smoothly break through to the next level.
After absorbing these high-intensity spiritual energies, he would need some time to refine them before he could truly digest and make them his own.
And the guardian will that had been frenzied before suddenly disappeared.
Fang Yu was puzzled.
Where did this guardian will go?
But just as he was pondering, a extremely strong aura suddenly appeared behind him!
Fang Yu’s eyes changed slightly as he turned to look, seeing a light gray humanoid outline!
Is this… the guardian will’s physical form condensed from annihilation breath?
“Kid, you destroyed our Shadow Moon clan’s foundation, don’t expect to live! Today, I must kill you!” The guardian will said coldly as it charged towards Fang Yu.
“I’ve already told you you’re no match for me, why bother?” Fang Yu sighed, releasing his hands from absorbing the spirit vein and turning around.
“Bang!”
The guardian will rushed to Fang Yu’s front, throwing a punch at his chest, making a muffled sound.
But Fang Yu didn’t even frown, raising his foot to kick at the guardian will’s abdomen.
“Boom!”
This kick hit nothing.
The guardian will’s abdomen suddenly dispersed, becoming ethereal. But the ice layer behind it was shattered by the power carried in that kick!
“Oh?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and threw another punch at the guardian will’s head.
“Pat!”
The guardian will’s head also suddenly dispersed into gray air, avoiding Fang Yu’s punch.
“Boom!”
The ice layer in another direction was also shattered by Fang Yu’s attack.
“I don’t have a physical form at all! You can never defeat me!” The guardian will laughed proudly.
At the same time, it threw another punch at Fang Yu’s abdomen.
“Bang!”
Fang Yu didn’t even try to dodge, saying coldly, “Can’t defeat you? You think too highly of yourself. You’re nothing but a will.”
As he spoke, Fang Yu’s right palm turned up, burning with pale red true qi above it.
He pushed his right palm forward.
“Boom!”
When the pale red true qi touched the guardian will’s ethereal form, that gray annihilation breath instantly burst into flames!
The guardian will immediately let out a scream of agony.
The gray air condensed into human form was burned away instantly by Fang Yu’s true qi.
“How is this possible!? How could this happen? This is annihilation breath!” The guardian will’s voice was full of shock.
It couldn’t understand how annihilation breath could be burned by a cultivator’s true qi!
What kind of true qi was this?
What kind of cultivator could cultivate such true qi!?
Looking at Fang Yu standing there expressionless, the guardian will actually felt fear!
This emotion shouldn’t be possible for a mere will.
But facing Fang Yu, the guardian will truly and genuinely felt fear!
Its memories were inherited from its master, but in these memories, it had never encountered such a terrifying cultivator!
Fang Yu turned around, placing both hands on the spirit vein to continue absorbing it.
Although he already felt his dantian swelling uncomfortably, there was still at least one-third of the spiritual energy left unabsorbed in this spirit vein, and he absolutely couldn’t waste it.
Having a spirit vein all to himself, in Fang Yu’s five thousand years of life, this was the first time he had encountered such an opportunity.
He absolutely couldn’t waste this chance.
Seeing Fang Yu start absorbing the spirit vein again, the guardian will came to its senses and felt a sense of resolution in its heart.
It indeed couldn’t stop Fang Yu.
But rather than letting the wealth left by the Shadow Moon clan for their descendants become someone else’s gain, it would rather destroy it!
Want to absorb the entire spirit vein?
Keep dreaming!
I might not be able to do anything to you, but the entire White River Mountain is under my control!
Including this spirit vein!
“Boom!”
The entire space began to collapse, ice blocks shattered, and the underground soil began to cave in.
And on the crystal-clear spirit vein wall, cracks appeared.
The spiritual energy inside started to leak!
Noticing this, Fang Yu’s expression changed dramatically.
This guardian will, to prevent him from absorbing the spirit vein, actually didn’t hesitate to destroy it!
The cracks on the spirit vein wall grew more numerous and larger.
“Crack!”
Eventually, the spirit vein wall completely cracked and burst!
“Boom!”
The spiritual energy inside the spirit vein instantly scattered!
“Damn! Was this really necessary?”
Fang Yu couldn’t help but curse!
There was still nearly one-third of the spiritual energy in this spirit vein! And now it was gone just like that!
“Kid, you forced me to do this! Hahaha… I might not be able to deal with you! But I can make sure you get nothing!” The guardian will laughed maniacally.
“Then you should have done this earlier, I’ve already absorbed two-thirds of the spirit vein. The remaining third, I can do without,” Fang Yu said calmly.
“…” The guardian will’s laughter stopped abruptly.
Then came another burst of fury!
“Kid, don’t be so smug! I’m going to destroy this place now! You might not escape!” The guardian will roared.
“Boom!”
The entire underground space began to collapse!
Chen Luo, who had just entered the tunnel leading to the underground space, felt the entire space shaking and his expression changed.
He could already feel a wave of spiritual energy rushing towards him from ahead.
Damn it! What exactly happened!?
His opportunity! The opportunity he had waited so long for, was he going to miss it like this!?
Chen Luo was full of unwillingness, but now the rock walls around the tunnel were starting to collapse.
He knew that even if there was any opportunity ahead, it must have been mostly destroyed by now.
He could only leave this place, otherwise he would also run into trouble.
Chen Luo turned around and quickly swam back.
