Chapter 177: Spirit Suppression Formation!
Just as Fang Yu was showing Su Lengyun around his vegetable garden, three men in purple robes stood on the far side of a small hill five hundred meters away.
These three were the protectors sent by Zheng Rong, ranking second, fourth, and fifth among the Zheng family’s protectors.
“Second Protector, now is the best time, we can make our move,” the Fifth Protector said while staring at Fang Yu in the distance.
“Hmm, have you prepared all the incantations and materials needed for the Spirit Suppression Formation?” the Second Protector asked gravely.
“No problem, this is our Zheng family’s secret technique, we’ve practiced it countless times, there’s no way we’ll make a mistake,” the Fourth Protector said casually.
“Good, you two go to the other two positions and start deploying the Spirit Suppression Formation,” the Second Protector said.
…
“These vegetables are grown naturally without pesticides, very healthy. Let me pick some for you to take home,” Fang Yu squatted down and started picking vegetables.
Su Lengyun was surprised by Fang Yu’s enthusiasm for vegetables.
But she knew this was the Fang Yu she knew.
Su Lengyun nodded and smiled, “Sure, I’d love to eat the vegetables grown by Brother Yu.”
“Strictly speaking, this patch wasn’t grown by me…” Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, his expression changed as he turned to look behind him.
Su Lengyun also sensed the danger, and her aura immediately became sharp.
Three unusual auras came from three directions.
Fang Yu stood up, holding two vegetables in his hands.
“Your reaction is quite quick, but it’s too late,” the Second Protector walked out from behind a tree.
The Fourth and Fifth Protectors appeared from two other directions.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.
All three of them held palm-sized wooden tablets with talismans attached.
What are those things?
Fang Yu wondered.
“Fang Yu, we are here on our master’s orders to capture you!” the Second Protector said coldly.
“Master? Which family’s master?” Fang Yu asked.
With the Spirit Suppression Formation already in place, the Second Protector knew Fang Yu was trapped and felt no pressure.
He sneered and replied, “Huaibei, the Zheng family.”
“Oh, the Zheng family. I really shouldn’t have let Zheng Xiuchen go that time,” Fang Yu shook his head and said.
“You injured our young master at Moon Heart Lake, we’ll settle that account after we take you back to the Zheng family, no need to rush,” the Second Protector said with a cold glint in his eyes.
“Didn’t Zheng Xiuchen see me defeat Gu Rulong? Why send three shrimps like you? I can’t even be bothered to fight,” Fang Yu said indifferently.
Seeing the disdain on Fang Yu’s face, the three protectors’ expressions changed.
This youth was truly too arrogant!
They were all at the Grandmaster realm, ranking among the top in the entire Huaibei martial arts world!
Yet Fang Yu dared to completely disregard them?
“Fang Yu, don’t think you’re so great just because you can defeat a Martial Lord? Others might not know, but we do – you just used evil cultivation techniques!” the Fourth Protector said viciously.
Evil cultivators were despised throughout the entire martial arts world.
In today’s martial arts world, there was no room for evil cultivators to exist!
When an evil cultivator appeared, they would inevitably face elimination by the Martial Arts Association and major martial arts families!
“Evil cultivation techniques?” Fang Yu was stunned.
“The reason you possess such strong power is that you can absorb others’ cultivation! This is what Gu Rulong told our young master before he died!” the Fifth Protector said.
Hearing their words, Su Lengyun, who had been silent until now, grew cold with anger.
How dare they slander Brother Yu as an evil cultivator?
They deserve death!
Su Lengyun erupted with an shocking aura!
This sudden burst of power made the three protectors’ faces change dramatically.
The aura of a Martial Lord!
The woman beside Fang Yu was actually a Martial Lord!
This unexpected situation wasn’t part of their plan!
How could a Martial Lord-level expert suddenly appear by Fang Yu’s side!?
In all of China, there were only about a hundred people who had reached the Martial Lord realm!
After Su Lengyun’s aura erupted, the three protectors were greatly shocked and somewhat panicked.
But the Second Protector remembered what Master Zheng Rong had told them.
As long as someone was a martial artist, they couldn’t avoid being affected by the Spirit Suppression Formation.
“Stay calm! Activate the Spirit Suppression Formation immediately!” the Second Protector shouted.
At the same time, he began chanting the incantation.
The other two protectors came to their senses and also began chanting.
White light emanated from the wooden tablets in their hands.
Just as Su Lengyun was about to make her move, her expression changed!
She felt the true qi in her body rapidly draining away!
Three massive forces were pulling her true qi out!
These three forces came from the wooden tablets in the protectors’ hands!
Su Lengyun’s face instantly turned pale.
In just a few seconds, most of her true qi had been forcibly extracted.
She couldn’t resist this enormous pulling force at all.
With the massive loss of true qi, Su Lengyun’s aura instantly weakened significantly.
“Hahaha… As expected of the Spirit Suppression Formation! What does it matter if you’re a Martial Lord? You’re still helpless against the formation!?” the Fourth Protector laughed loudly.
The Second Protector was also amazed, as this was his first time using the Spirit Suppression Formation, and he hadn’t expected it to be so powerful!
The three of them held the wooden tablets, standing in three different directions, forming a triangular formation.
Fang Yu and Su Lengyun, standing within the formation, would have their true qi immediately drained!
After losing their true qi, even a Martial Lord would be nothing but prey before three Grandmasters at full strength.
“Second Protector, this woman is really beautiful… and she’s a Martial Lord, if we were to… her, how amazing would that be,” the Fifth Protector stared at the pale Su Lengyun with lustful eyes.
“Don’t rush, there will be plenty of time later, let’s finish our main task first!” the Second Protector knew the Fifth Protector’s nature and said impatiently.
Fang Yu stood still, still holding two vegetables, appearing completely composed.
“A technique that can extract others’ true qi? The principle is somewhat similar to the Spirit Devouring Technique… worth studying,” Fang Yu thought.
By now, the Second Protector was walking toward Fang Yu.
“Brother Yu!” Su Lengyun’s face changed drastically.
When a martial artist’s true qi is drained, their strength inevitably drops several levels.
No matter how strong Fang Yu was, he couldn’t possibly resist three Grandmasters without true qi.
“I was right to persist in body tempering,” Fang Yu said. “In this world, people have even researched formations that counter true qi.”
“But body tempering is different, no matter what they research, it’s useless. Because the ultimate physical body has no weaknesses.”
Fang Yu’s words seemed like he was talking to himself, yet also like he was explaining to someone.
“Whatever you say now is useless! Come back to the Zheng family with us,” the Second Protector sneered, gathering true qi in his right hand as he reached out to knock Fang Yu unconscious.
“I said all that, and you still didn’t understand? You dare to approach?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and kicked the Second Protector in the abdomen.
“Puh!”
The Second Protector spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward like a broken kite, breaking several tree trunks before stopping, lying motionless on the ground.
The Fourth and Fifth Protectors hadn’t even realized what had happened!
At this moment, Fang Yu took a step to the left, appearing in front of the Fifth Protector.
Seeing the face so close, the Fifth Protector’s expression changed drastically as he tried to defend.
But Fang Yu’s fist had already smashed into his face.
“Pak!”
The Fifth Protector’s head exploded, red and white matter spraying to the side, splattering all over the ground.
The Fourth Protector saw this scene and shuddered, coming to his senses.
What’s going on? How could this happen?
Hadn’t the Spirit Suppression Formation absorbed Fang Yu’s true qi? Why was Fang Yu still so strong?
Even that Martial Lord woman couldn’t resist the formation, how did Fang Yu do it!?
The Fourth Protector’s heart trembled violently as he turned to flee.
But when he turned around, he saw Fang Yu.
“You laughed the loudest just now, I remember you,” Fang Yu smiled slightly.
To the Fourth Protector, Fang Yu’s smile was no different from a demon’s smile!
“Oh right, you seemed to say something else earlier too.”
A cold glint flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes as he raised his right foot.
He kicked directly at the Fourth Protector’s vital point.
This kick shattered both the vital point and the hip bone!
“Ah…”
The Fourth Protector let out a miserable scream as his body flew straight up into the sky, reaching a height of thirty or forty meters before falling.
“Bang!”
When he hit the ground again, the Fourth Protector had completely stopped breathing.
In just ten seconds, all three of the Zheng family’s protectors were dead!
Su Lengyun stood still, her beautiful eyes wide as she looked at Fang Yu.
Since she was very young, she knew Fang Yu was extraordinary.
Because she had personally witnessed Fang Yu eliminate, one by one, those assassins who had killed her family.
From that time on, Fang Yu had been an invincible existence in her heart.
More than twenty years had passed, and Su Lengyun’s own cultivation realm had improved considerably.
She gradually came to believe that perhaps truly invincible people didn’t exist in this world.
But now, seeing Fang Yu in action again, her belief returned.
If there was an invincible person in this world, it must be Brother Yu!
Fang Yu squatted down and picked up a wooden tablet from the ground.
This was the core of the Spirit Suppression Formation.
“Using a wooden tablet and a talisman as the formation’s core, allowing people to hold them and move freely, expanding or contracting the formation’s range… whoever researched this Spirit Suppression Formation is quite remarkable,” Fang Yu thought as he examined the talisman on the wooden tablet.
After looking for a while, Fang Yu remembered Su Lengyun was still behind him, so he put the wooden tablet in his pocket and turned to walk to her.
“Are you alright?” Fang Yu asked.
“I’m fine, just that my true qi was drained…” Su Lengyun said.
“Oh, that’s easy to fix.”
Fang Yu grabbed Su Lengyun’s hand and infused true qi into her.
A warm current flowed from Fang Yu’s hand into Su Lengyun’s, spreading throughout her body.
Su Lengyun looked at Fang Yu before her, her gaze gradually becoming somewhat entranced as she softly said, “Brother Yu.”
“Hmm?” Fang Yu was startled.
“Can I…” Su Lengyun’s face turned red, her voice barely a whisper.
