Chapter 330: Hand of Terror!

“What’s going on?” Wu Neng looked at Zhi’er.

Zhi’er didn’t speak, but extended her right hand and made a gesture in the air.

A blue light rippled, and the view within the spirit mirror magnified several times.

Now they could clearly see those Zheng family warriors lying on the ground.

Most of the warriors were already dead, while a small number were severely injured, barely clinging to life.

Even so, Wu Neng still couldn’t see anything unusual.

“Just tell me what—”

Wu Neng was speaking when his expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly noticed that a corpse lying at the edge of the pit had vanished!

Thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him, he stepped forward, moving closer to the spirit mirror.

At that moment, another corpse within his field of vision disappeared into thin air!

This time, Wu Neng was certain he hadn’t seen wrong!

What was happening!?

The corpses on the ground were disappearing one after another!

Wu Neng moved up to the spirit mirror, trying to see more clearly.

“Step back!”

Zhi’er commanded, while waving her hand again to adjust the mirror’s view downward until it was directly above one of the corpses.

The entire mirror now showed just this one corpse.

This way, they could clearly see how this corpse would disappear.

The room was eerily quiet.

Zhi’er and Wu Neng both stared at the corpse in the mirror, waiting for the moment it would vanish.

After about half a minute, the corpse in the image disappeared!

Wu Neng couldn’t see anything clearly!

It just vanished into thin air!

Wu Neng turned to look at Zhi’er, his eyes filled with shock, and asked, “What exactly is happening?”

Zhi’er’s expression was grave. After thinking for a moment, she extended both hands to form a seal.

The spirit mirror emitted a flash of light.

Then, the corpse reappeared in the image.

“Slow it down and watch again.”

Zhi’er stood up and walked to the spirit mirror.

Now, the speed of the image in the mirror was reduced to one-tenth of before.

After waiting for several seconds, the image changed.

A white shadow flashed above the corpse, and then the corpse disappeared.

“Slow it down more! Let’s see what this white shadow is!” Wu Neng said.

Zhi’er activated another spell, reducing the speed of the mirror’s image to an extreme one-twentieth.

Then, the white shadow appeared again in the image.

This time, both Zhi’er and Wu Neng saw the outline of the white shadow, and their faces turned pale!

From its outline, it was a hand!

An extremely pale hand!

This hand pressed on the corpse, and in an instant, the corpse shrank into a tiny blood sphere, which was absorbed into the palm of the hand!

After seeing how the corpse disappeared, both Zhi’er and Wu Neng were filled with terror.

They had never witnessed such a technique before.

“Let’s see where this hand came from!” Wu Neng said.

Just as Zhi’er was about to activate the spirit mirror.

“Crack!”

The floating spirit mirror suddenly shattered!

Zhi’er and Wu Neng trembled!

“This…” Wu Neng turned to look at Zhi’er.

“The spirit… was discovered,” Zhi’er said, her face pale.

This was the first time Wu Neng had seen Zhi’er display such a terrified expression.

After a long silence, Wu Neng asked, “Now… what do we do?”

Zhi’er glanced at Wu Neng, took a deep breath, and said, “Report this to headquarters.”

“And then? What about Fang Yu?” Thinking of the massive crater with a radius of several hundred meters at the Zheng family estate, Wu Neng was still shocked.

If that crater was caused by Fang Yu, then Fang Yu was not someone he and Zhi’er could confront, let alone capture.

“We’ll report Fang Yu’s situation as well, why are you so stupid?” Zhi’er said, her complexion somewhat recovered.

Wu Neng snorted coldly and turned to leave.

…

Returning to Nandu, it was already five in the afternoon.

When Fang Yu arrived at his apartment building, he saw Qin Lang still following him, so he stopped and asked, “Why are you still following me? Aren’t you going back to Yan City?”

“Uh…” Qin Lang scratched his head.

He didn’t know himself why he had followed Fang Yu back to the apartment.

“Thank you for bringing my sword. Have a safe journey,” Fang Yu said.

Seeing Fang Yu’s dismissal, Qin Lang smiled awkwardly and said, “Master Fang, I still have some business to attend to in Nandu, so I won’t be returning to Yan City for a while.”

“I’ll be staying at the Shengtian Grand Hotel. If you need any help, you can contact me anytime.”

“Alright, thank you.” Fang Yu said, turning to leave.

“Master Fang, I have a question, if you don’t mind answering…” Qin Lang quickly called out to stop Fang Yu.

“What question?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked.

“I’d like to know, what is the name of your sword?” Qin Lang looked at Fang Yu with shining eyes, asking curiously.

“Heavenly Dao Sword,” Fang Yu answered.

“Heavenly Dao Sword…” Qin Lang repeated.

“If you’re so interested in this sword, I can lend it to you for a few days, and you can return it to me later,” Fang Yu said, about to take out the broken sword from his storage pouch.

“No, no…” Qin Lang hurriedly waved his hands.

Recalling the scene of Fang Yu wielding the Heavenly Dao Sword against Zheng Yan’s annihilation power, Qin Lang felt both awe and excitement.

That moment when Fang Yu fought was, to Qin Lang, the perfect embodiment of what a powerful expert should be!

This Heavenly Dao Sword was not something someone of his level could use!

“Master Fang, I’ll take my leave now.” Qin Lang cupped his fists to Fang Yu, then turned and left.

Fang Yu watched Qin Lang’s retreating figure and muttered to himself, “That kid Qin Wudao did a decent job raising his descendants.”

…

Back home, Fang Yu sat on the sofa and drank a glass of water.

After dealing with the Zheng family, he needed to shift his focus back to the Purple Flame Palace.

“Jiang Dao…”

Finding someone across the world, even knowing their appearance and name, was difficult.

Moreover, those people from the Purple Flame Palace were hiding in others’ bodies as soul spirits, making them even harder to find.

Both their names and appearances were completely different from when they were alive.

Therefore, to find Jiang Dao, there was only one entry point.

The purple flame.

“I still need help with this.”

After figuring this out, Fang Yu leaned back on the sofa and took out the Heavenly Dao Sword from his storage pouch.

This sword’s original owner was his master, Dao Tian.

Before Dao Tian ascended, he passed the Heavenly Dao Sword to Fang Yu.

“This sword has existed longer than both our lifespans combined. In the future, you can compete with it to see who lives longer. Your master hopes you will win,” Dao Tian had told Fang Yu.

Since then, the Heavenly Dao Sword had become Fang Yu’s exclusive weapon.

During the seven-day, seven-night battle with the Purple Flame Palace, the Heavenly Dao Sword broke, with only half of the blade remaining.

However, even though it was broken in half, its effectiveness wasn’t diminished at all—it could still cut through anything.

Sixty years ago, Fang Yu lent the Heavenly Dao Sword to Qin Wudao.

After Qin Wudao used it, he kept it for Fang Yu until today when it finally returned to Fang Yu’s hands.

“Sigh, you look very old now,” Fang Yu stroked the rusty surface of the broken sword and said, “I’m afraid I’m going to win the competition Master mentioned.”

…

The next day at noon, Fang Yu arrived at Nandu University.

Nandu University was the best university in the Huaibei region, with a large campus.

It was now late August, with less than a week until the start of the semester.

Many sophomores and juniors had already returned to school, preparing for classes.

Fang Yu entered through the main gate, walked along a path lined with cherry blossom trees, and arrived at an office building.

On the third floor in the personnel department, Fang Yu met Guo Gang.

“Mr. Fang! Hello, hello!” Guo Gang shook Fang Yu’s hand, visibly excited.

“I’m here to sign the contract,” Fang Yu said.

“I’ve been waiting for your arrival! The contract is right here, please take a look.” Guo Gang placed a contract on the table in front of Fang Yu.

“After signing this, you’ll be the youngest visiting professor at our Nandu University!”

“Regarding compensation, if Mr. Fang has any requirements, we can discuss in detail…” Guo Gang said, looking at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu didn’t care about the compensation. He casually glanced at the contract and signed his name.

“Is there anything else?” Fang Yu said.

“No, once I arrange the course schedule, I’ll notify you, Mr. Fang!” Guo Gang said, beaming with joy.

Fang Yu nodded and left the personnel office.

Walking back on the campus path, Fang Yu looked around idly.

Just then, a fragrant breeze accompanied by a sharp cry came from in front of him.

Fang Yu reacted quickly, stepping aside.

“Thud!”

A girl fell to the ground beside Fang Yu.
