Chapter 186: Fear of Death!
A brilliant silver light burst forth from within the Demon Suppression Tower.
“Bang!”
The Demon Suppression Tower completely shattered into pieces, fragments flying everywhere.
“How is this possible? How is this possible!?” Elder Three of the Zheng family watched in shock as the Demon Suppression Tower exploded, his face full of disbelief.
The Demon Suppression Tower was their family’s greatest treasure, said to be made from meteorites, composed of an ultra-hard material not found on Earth.
How could it possibly break?
That expert from years ago had said that the Demon Suppression Tower could suppress all things in the world, unless the opponent’s power far exceeded that of a Martial Sovereign.
Power far exceeding a Martial Sovereign…
Elder Three of the Zheng family stared blankly at the figure standing where the Demon Suppression Tower had exploded.
This figure was surrounded by a faint red qi.
It was Fang Yu.
There wasn’t a single wound visible on Fang Yu’s body.
How did he manage to do this?
Elder Three of the Zheng family was deeply shocked.
Those trapped by the Demon Suppression Tower would be assaulted by Sanskrit Buddhist images, their minds thrown into chaos, completely losing their fighting ability within mere seconds.
Yet the Fang Yu before him had a determined gaze and relaxed expression, appearing completely unaffected.
Not only that, he had even shattered the Demon Suppression Tower!
What kind of power was this?
The other four Zheng family guardians all changed expression dramatically!
They knew how significant the Demon Suppression Tower was to the Zheng family!
But now, the Demon Suppression Tower had been destroyed just like that!?
If news of this got out, it would severely damage the Zheng family’s reputation!
“This treasure of yours isn’t very good. Though it counts as a high-grade magical item, it’s not sturdy enough,” Fang Yu said with a faint smile.
“You, you…” Elder Three of the Zheng family’s face turned pale, unable to speak. Blood was still flowing from the wound on his cheek.
“Are you the strongest in the Zheng family?” Fang Yu stepped forward and asked.
This old man from the Zheng family could withstand his punch without falling, so his strength was decent.
Though that punch only used less than 20% of his power.
Seeing Fang Yu step forward, Elder Three of the Zheng family unconsciously took a step back.
At this moment, fear finally arose in his heart.
This feeling, he hadn’t experienced it for decades.
“Fang Yu, I said before, we haven’t reached the point of mortal enemies yet,” Elder Three of the Zheng family said, trying to maintain his composure.
“Oh? So what kind of cooperation do you still want to discuss with me?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.
“We can certainly still discuss cooperation… but it needs further consideration. Your strength, I now understand clearly, and the Zheng family absolutely doesn’t want to be your enemy,” Elder Three of the Zheng family said, his face pale.
Hearing these words, everyone present changed expression.
Was this admitting defeat?
The Zheng family was yielding to Fang Yu!?
The high-level members of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association looked at each other.
Especially Kong Cheng, who stared with wide eyes, looking between Elder Three of the Zheng family and Fang Yu, his eyes full of shock.
He never imagined today’s situation would develop like this!
He had thought that with Elder Three of the Zheng family personally taking action, dealing with someone like Fang Yu wouldn’t be difficult!
That’s why he had been so firm in his attitude when facing Fang Yu.
But now, Elder Three of the Zheng family was actually yielding before Fang Yu…
“You’ve said a lot, but I’m still not quite clear on your meaning,” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
Elder Three of the Zheng family, having lived for over ninety years, deeply understood the principle that a great man should know when to yield and when to stand firm.
Gritting his teeth, he said: “I am no match for you, I admit defeat! If you’re willing to spare our lives today, our Zheng family will repay you tenfold in the future!”
Dead silence fell all around.
Elder Three of the Zheng family… had directly admitted defeat.
The Zheng family, unrivaled throughout Huaibei with their thunderous reputation, had actually admitted defeat to a pre-celestial martial artist not yet twenty years old!
If they hadn’t witnessed it personally, who would believe such an absurd thing!?
The four Zheng family guardians’ faces turned pale, their eyes filled with unwillingness.
Fang Yu looked at Elder Three of the Zheng family and said: “I’m very curious, if I had been trapped in the Demon Suppression Tower and couldn’t get out, would you have spared my life?”
Elder Three of the Zheng family’s expression stiffened.
“So, don’t think about these unrealistic things,” Fang Yu smiled faintly and said, “Today’s outcome is of your own making.”
Seeing Fang Yu’s smile, Elder Three of the Zheng family’s heart beat violently.
He sensed the threat of death.
“Fang Yu, if I die, the Zheng family will become your mortal enemy! Don’t underestimate the foundation of a family that stands at the peak of Huaibei!” Elder Three of the Zheng family shouted loudly, his face iron-like.
“Your Zheng family keeps causing me trouble, I’ve long wanted to eliminate you,” Fang Yu said as he slowly walked toward Elder Three of the Zheng family.
Sensing the killing intent emanating from Fang Yu, Elder Three of the Zheng family’s face turned bloodless.
“Fang Yu, within the Zheng family, there are still three people stronger than me! If I die, they will definitely avenge me!” Elder Three of the Zheng family said in a hoarse voice, while secretly reciting an incantation.
“You four, immediately stop him!” Elder Three of the Zheng family shouted, as his body was enveloped in a black light, shooting away like a cannonball.
The four Zheng family guardians exchanged glances, determination flashing in their eyes.
If even the Third Elder was no match, they knew how terrifying Fang Yu’s strength was.
But this was their responsibility.
They had to protect the Third Elder.
The four guardians roared and charged at Fang Yu simultaneously.
“Boring.”
Fang Yu muttered these two words, raised his right palm, and pushed forward.
“Boom!”
With a huge sound, two guardians spat blood and flew backward.
The other two barely dodged and erupted with powerful master-level qi as they attacked Fang Yu.
“Golden Sky Net!” One of the guardians took out a golden net from his storage bag and threw it directly at Fang Yu.
The net glowed golden, expanding in the air as it descended to cover Fang Yu.
“Bang!”
Fang Yu stomped hard on the ground, creating a crater, and his figure shot forward.
Facing this golden net, he extended his right palm, concentrated qi on it, transformed the palm into a blade, and slashed across in the air.
“Crack!”
With a crisp sound, the net split open with a huge hole!
Fang Yu rushed through the opening, instantly appearing before this guardian, and threw a punch!
“Boom!”
With a muffled sound, this guardian didn’t even have time to scream before his chest exploded, blood spraying, as his body flew away.
“Die!”
At this moment, the last remaining guardian rushed to Fang Yu’s back, holding a sharp dagger, stabbing toward the back of Fang Yu’s head.
Without even turning his head, Fang Yu simply thrust his right elbow backward.
“Puff!”
This guardian’s abdomen took the heavy hit, his internal organs almost instantly rupturing.
His eyes bulged as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fang Yu turned around and slapped him across the face.
“Crack!”
This guardian’s head spun a complete 360 degrees, with only skin connecting his neck, his face still frozen in terror.
Fang Yu took the dagger from his hand, then casually threw the body away.
“Running quite fast,” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at Elder Three of the Zheng family’s figure, now almost a kilometer away.
Elder Three of the Zheng family had activated the Ghost Shadow technique, his body emanating black light as he flew at rocket-like speed.
Right now he had only one thought in his mind, and that was to escape!
He must escape! He must survive!
As for Fang Yu, he wasn’t something one person could handle!
Once he returned to the Zheng family, he would call a family meeting to discuss a perfect plan to deal with Fang Yu!
“At this speed, he should be in that position in two seconds,” Fang Yu played with the dagger taken from the Zheng family guardian, his eyes glowing with an otherworldly red light.
Watching Elder Three of the Zheng family’s figure, Fang Yu raised the dagger.
His hand emanated a red glow!
Then, he threw the dagger!
“Whoosh… screech…”
An extremely piercing sound of air being cut rang out.
The dagger, completely wrapped in qi, flew toward Elder Three of the Zheng family’s distant figure, leaving a red afterimage in the air!
Its speed was incredibly fast, catching up to the equally swift Elder Three of the Zheng family in just two seconds!
Elder Three of the Zheng family, who was desperately fleeing with his mind on other matters, hadn’t even reacted.
Though even if he had reacted, it would have been useless, there was no way to dodge.
It was simply too fast!
“Puff!”
The dagger instantly penetrated his right chest.
Elder Three of the Zheng family looked down at the bloody hole in his right chest, his eyes filled only with despair.
His speed instantly dropped, and his figure began falling from the air.
