Chapter 187: Punishment!
Fang Yu kicked off the ground and charged towards the Third Elder of the Zheng family.
He deliberately didn’t kill the Third Elder immediately, as he wanted the Golden Core within his body.
The Golden Core of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator contained spiritual energy that could rival a thousand low-level monster cores.
Seconds later, Fang Yu arrived at an open space in the suburbs.
The Third Elder of the Zheng family lay there, with a pool of blood beneath him.
Seeing Fang Yu slowly approaching, the Third Elder’s eyes showed only despair, his face withering.
He had spent most of his life cultivating bitterly, reaching the enviable realm of Martial Sovereign.
In recent years, he had even vaguely touched the ceiling of the Martial Sovereign realm, finding possibilities for further advancement.
Given another thirty to fifty years, he might have truly broken through the Martial Sovereign realm, reaching the legendary realm…
But now, everything was gone.
All his hopes and dreams would have to wait for his next life.
At this moment, Fang Yu had walked up to the Third Elder of the Zheng family.
“Don’t you want to know the secret of the so-called evil cultivation technique? I can tell you now,” Fang Yu squatted down and smiled.
The Third Elder’s eyes flickered slightly.
Fang Yu extended his hand, placed it on the Third Elder’s abdomen, and activated the Spirit Devouring Technique.
A red light emanated from his hand, and the Third Elder’s cultivation was rapidly draining away.
The Third Elder’s face instantly lost color as he said, “So this is how you absorb others’ cultivation…”
Feeling his cultivation rapidly depleting, the Third Elder became overwhelmed with grief, laughing in anger as he said, “Fang Yu, using such evil techniques to gain power, you’ll surely face divine punishment! I look forward to seeing you in hell!”
“If possible, I’d like to visit hell too, but unfortunately, heaven won’t even give me that chance,” Fang Yu said calmly.
By now, the Golden Core in the Third Elder’s body had shrunk to half its original size.
Thinking about how his decades of bitter cultivation would become someone else’s wedding dress, the Third Elder felt intense resentment.
Soon, his face showed determination.
He would seal his internal meridians and make his true qi flow backward.
He would self-destruct!
He would rather destroy this Golden Core than let Fang Yu absorb it!
Thinking this, the Third Elder revealed a vicious smile.
The explosion of half a Golden Core would have power comparable to a missile.
With Fang Yu so close, even if it didn’t kill him, he would at least be severely injured!
“Fang Yu, let’s die together…” the Third Elder shouted, about to self-destruct.
“Bang!”
But before he could finish speaking, Fang Yu punched him in the face, instantly knocking him unconscious.
“Self-destruct? You think I’d give you that chance?” Fang Yu sneered.
After absorbing the entire Golden Core from the Third Elder’s body, Fang Yu only broke through two levels, reaching the 9,950th layer of Qi Refinement.
Fang Yu knew that the spiritual energy needed to break through one level now was enormous, but he hadn’t expected it to be this massive!
Looking at it this way, the last fifty levels before ten thousand wouldn’t be easy to cross either.
…
Fang Yu returned to Kong Cheng and the others, holding the blood-covered corpse of the Third Elder of the Zheng family.
He threw the Third Elder’s corpse on the ground in front of Kong Cheng.
Seeing the Third Elder’s face covered in blood, now unrecognizable, Kong Cheng trembled all over, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a ‘thud’.
“Master Fang… it was the Third Elder who actively sought me out, asking me to invite you for a meeting… it was the Third Elder of the Zheng family, I couldn’t refuse… please spare my life, I never meant to offend you…” Kong Cheng cried and begged for mercy while kowtowing to Fang Yu.
This frightened the other executives greatly, and they also knelt down, kowtowing to Fang Yu.
The Martial Arts Association guards were stunned.
They could hardly believe their eyes.
The Martial Arts Association executives, who they viewed as having supreme power and being arrogant, were now all kneeling and begging for mercy from a young man?
But the executives weren’t thinking about this now.
The renowned Martial Sovereign Third Elder of the Zheng family had been killed by Fang Yu.
The four Grandmaster-level guards of the Zheng family couldn’t even last one round against Fang Yu.
Such a terrifying killing god was not someone they could afford to offend.
And their previous actions had indeed offended Fang Yu, especially after the Third Elder appeared.
Fang Yu coldly looked at Kong Cheng and said, “Weren’t you just shouting about sending me to prison?”
Meeting Fang Yu’s cold gaze, Kong Cheng’s face changed dramatically, feeling his heart about to jump out of his chest.
“It was my fault! Master Fang! I will punish myself, I was loose-tongued! Please don’t take it to heart, it was my fault…” Kong Cheng immediately began slapping himself.
“Slap, slap, slap…”
A series of crisp slapping sounds rang out.
Kong Cheng used great force, and after several slaps, blood began flowing from the corners of his mouth.
His white beard on his chin was stained with bright red blood.
Fang Yu remained expressionless, looking at Kong Cheng, and said, “This is the last chance, your Jiangnan Martial Arts Association better not provoke me again.”
“Master Fang, we absolutely wouldn’t dare, absolutely wouldn’t dare…” the surrounding executives said repeatedly while kowtowing to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu looked around slowly and left.
Until Fang Yu disappeared from view, none of the executives dared to stand up, still kneeling on the ground.
And Kong Cheng was still slapping himself.
At this moment, he looked quite miserable, with swollen cheeks and a mouth full of blood.
Long after Fang Yu left, several executives exchanged glances before daring to stand up.
“President Kong, Master Fang has gone far away, please stop,” several executives said to Kong Cheng.
Kong Cheng woodenly lowered his hand, looking at the Third Elder’s corpse before him with only fear in his eyes.
Before today, how noble was the Third Elder’s status? Who in all of Huaibei didn’t fear and respect him?
But now, he had become a cold corpse.
“President Kong, what… should we do now?” the other executives asked with pale faces.
Kong Cheng stood up trembling, remained silent for a while, then said, “This matter… can’t be hidden, let’s tell the Zheng family truthfully.”
“If the Zheng family learns of this… they’ll go crazy…” several executives showed terrified expressions.
“That’s between the Zheng family and Master Fang, both are beyond our ability to provoke, we can’t manage that much,” Kong Cheng said.
“Alright, no need to say more, let’s clean up this mess,” Kong Cheng took a deep breath and said.
After speaking, he remembered something and ordered, “Send all the monster cores we have in our association to Master Fang’s residence, but not in our Martial Arts Association’s name… keep it anonymous.”
…
These two days, Liu Liansha was staying in a five-star hotel in Jianghai City.
The hotel’s environment and cleanliness were quite good, and standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, one could see the view of Jianghai City’s most prosperous area.
But Liu Liansha’s mood was not beautiful.
Thinking about how her master was now staying at Fang Yu’s home, she felt uncomfortable.
Fang Yu was clearly her enemy, and he had even left a life-threatening mark on her!
Yet her master was so close to Fang Yu!
“What kind of relationship does Fang Yu have with my master? Master rarely leaves Frost Cold Palace even once a year, how did she get to know Fang Yu?” Liu Liansha had been pondering this question for the past two days.
Besides displeasure, the fire of curiosity was also burning fiercely in her heart.
She really wanted to know why her master, who was usually like an iceberg, suddenly became a different person after meeting Fang Yu.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
While Liu Liansha was thinking, a message alert came from the laptop on the table nearby.
Liu Liansha came back to her senses, walked to the laptop, and opened that message.
It was a chat window, with a message in English.
“A team from the Gene Laboratory has now arrived in Jianghai City.”
The sender was Liu Liansha’s informant.
Liu Liansha had always relied on a large network of informants to help collect various intelligence.
Gene Laboratory… isn’t this the laboratory that created Caesar, ranked nineteenth on the Dark List…
Remembering how Fang Yu had destroyed the superhuman Caesar with one punch that night, Liu Liansha’s eyes flashed with shock.
“What is their current location in Jianghai City?” Liu Liansha typed.
