Chapter 391 Curse Flower!
Ye Shengxue never expected that Honda Yuji would target her!
At this moment, she was completely restrained by Honda Yuji, with no means of escape.
Feeling the coldness against her neck, Ye Shengxue’s face turned pale.
Fang Yu glanced at the store manager and smiled, “You’re good at providing cover, not bad.”
The store manager trembled and collapsed to the ground.
He never thought Honda Yuji would do such a thing!
This way, he had been dragged into this mess too!
“I, I wasn’t…” The store manager, face drained of color, tried to explain.
“Slap!”
Fang Yu swung his hand forward, striking the store manager’s face with such force that several teeth flew out. The manager fell to the ground, face covered in blood, unconscious.
“Let me leave, or I’ll kill her!” Honda Yuji roared.
Due to extreme fear and anxiety, Honda Yuji’s right hand was trembling violently. The sharp blade pressed against her neck had already cut Ye Shengxue’s skin, drawing blood.
The bright red blood formed a stark contrast against her fair skin.
Fang Yu looked at Honda Yuji, shook his head slightly, and said, “Sigh, you’re completely disgracing the reputation of the Yuandao Sword.”
Honda Yuji, eyes bloodshot, roared again, “Let me leave now!”
“Miss!”
At this moment, Ye Shengxue’s bodyguard and driver rushed upstairs, his face changing dramatically at the scene.
“Prepare transportation for me to leave, or I’ll cut off her head!” Honda Yuji shouted at the driver.
The driver trembled and quickly said, “Okay, okay! As long as you don’t hurt the miss…”
“Hurry downstairs and get a car ready for me!” Honda Yuji screamed.
The driver immediately turned and ran downstairs.
Honda Yuji turned his head vigilantly toward Fang Yu, slowly retreating toward the stairway.
A deathly silence surrounded them as no one dared to make a sound.
“You’re not going anywhere,” Fang Yu said, taking a step forward.
As Fang Yu moved, Honda Yuji’s entire body shuddered.
The blade in his hand cut Ye Shengxue’s neck again.
The lower part of Ye Shengxue’s neck was now streaming with blood.
But Ye Shengxue’s expression remained relatively calm; apart from her pale face, she didn’t appear panicked.
“Take another step forward, and I’ll kill her! I’ll kill her!” Honda Yuji shouted.
“Go ahead and kill her. I barely know her, we just had a meal together,” Fang Yu smiled, closing his eyes and placing a finger on his forehead.
“What are you doing? What are you doing!?” Honda Yuji retreated continuously, shouting in terror.
“Nothing, just…”
Fang Yu opened his eyes, which now emitted a red glow.
In an instant, Honda’s entire body froze.
“Clatter!”
The Yuandao Sword, tightly gripped in his right hand, slipped and fell to the floor.
Then, his left hand also loosened.
Ye Shengxue, covering her neck, quickly moved away from Honda.
Fang Yu stared at Honda Yuji, white characters slowly rotating in his pupils.
Honda Yuji maintained his terrified expression, eyes bulging.
Then, countless cracks appeared on his body before he violently dissipated!
He completely vanished!
This scene frightened everyone present.
Some people screamed, their legs weakening as they collapsed to the ground.
Ye Shengxue, who also witnessed this, was equally shocked.
Without any physical contact, Honda Yuji had simply disappeared!
Such power was truly terrifying.
Fang Yu slowly walked to where Honda Yuji had been standing, picked up the Yuandao Sword from the ground, resheathed it, and then placed it in the storage bag he carried.
Turning around, he saw Ye Shengxue staring at him blankly, her eyes filled with shock.
But at the same time, the wound on Ye Shengxue’s neck continued to bleed profusely.
Fang Yu approached her and placed his right hand on Ye Shengxue’s neck.
A white light flashed, and the wound on Ye Shengxue’s neck healed, no longer bleeding.
But after healing the wound, Fang Yu continued to stare directly at Ye Shengxue, his gaze moving up and down her body.
Ye Shengxue felt embarrassed by Fang Yu’s intense gaze, her cheeks turning red.
What she didn’t know was that in Fang Yu’s current vision, her entire body appeared in a decomposed state.
The circuit-like markings on her body were particularly clear in Fang Yu’s vision.
Lines connected together, emitting a faint black aura, vaguely forming a pattern.
Fang Yu frowned, isolating these circuit markings and then moving his vision backward to look from a distance.
Soon, he recognized what pattern these lines were forming.
A flower!
Although he couldn’t tell what kind of flower it was, from its shape, it was undoubtedly a flower.
Most of the lines of this flower had been completed, with only the final touches needed to form a complete pattern.
“A curse flower… interesting.” Fang Yu examined the flower pattern, thinking carefully.
If he could remember the shape of this flower and then draw it on paper, Fang Yu would be able to analyze it better.
But strangely, due to the complexity of the lines, the flower pattern became blurry once it entered his memory.
“What’s going on? Could this curse actually affect others’ minds?”
Fang Yu frowned deeply.
“Mr. Fang…”
At this moment, Ye Shengxue spoke up.
Fang Yu came back to his senses, closed his eyes, and restored his normal vision.
Then, he saw Ye Shengxue as red as an apple, so red it seemed blood might drip from her face.
Indeed, from an outsider’s perspective, Fang Yu’s examining gaze just now was highly invasive.
Ye Shengxue had never experienced such scrutiny before, and being stared at by Fang Yu made her extremely uncomfortable. She was so embarrassed that her head was almost lowered to her chest.
“If there’s nothing else, let’s leave this place,” Fang Yu said, scanning the surroundings.
The few members of the Eastern Merchants Association immediately knelt down, kowtowing while begging Fang Yu for mercy.
Fang Yu hadn’t even noticed these people’s existence.
“Let’s go.”
Fang Yu turned to leave, and Ye Shengxue quickly followed.
The others at the scene watched Fang Yu leave with blank stares.
For these people, what they had witnessed today was beyond their comprehension, something they would never forget in their lifetime.
It was truly shocking.
…
Back in the car, Ye Shengxue’s complexion gradually returned to normal.
She looked at the silent Fang Yu and asked, “Mr. Fang, your eyes just now…”
“A type of technique, don’t worry about it,” Fang Yu said.
When Honda Yuji was holding Ye Shengxue hostage, he actually had a thousand ways to deal with Honda Yuji.
But these methods couldn’t guarantee Ye Shengxue’s safety.
If Honda Yuji had even a tenth of a second to react, that sharp Yuandao Sword could have cut Ye Shengxue’s neck.
So, Fang Yu used the most reliable method.
He directly decomposed Honda Yuji, making him vanish from existence.
“That Honda…” Ye Shengxue wanted to ask.
“Dead,” Fang Yu answered.
Ye Shengxue nodded, her eyes still showing shock, and said nothing more.
Fang Yu thoughtfully looked out the window.
During dinner, he had taken Ye Shengxue’s words to heart.
Regarding the dragon, he could basically confirm it was all false.
The entity that chose the Ye family as so-called dragon guardians twelve hundred years ago was definitely not a dragon!
Everything it did had only one purpose.
That was to have the Ye family help it find the person who possessed the dragon’s origin! The so-called possessor of the dragon’s bloodline.
Its purpose wasn’t protection, but theft!
It wanted to obtain the dragon’s origin! It wanted to control the dragon’s power!
Fang Yu speculated that within the entire Nine Provinces Nation, there were probably several families like the Ye family.
Due to the curse, they were forced to work for someone impersonating a dragon, searching worldwide for people who could use the dragon’s power.
Of course, they were all still in the dark, believing their families were truly dragon guardians.
“This guy is vicious enough, using such a scheme to make multiple families search for the dragon’s origin generation after generation. These families probably think they’re doing something noble and righteous,” Fang Yu thought, stroking his chin.
Verifying this theory would be simple; he just needed to visit the Ye family.
At that time, this being from twelve hundred years ago would likely surface.
To survive for twelve hundred years, if the entity was human, it was most likely a cultivator above the Fusion Realm.
If it wasn’t human, that would be even more interesting.
What kind of creature possessed such intelligence to disguise itself as a dragon to seek the dragon’s origin?
Out of curiosity, Fang Yu was very willing to visit the Ye family.
“Mr. Fang, may I ask where your home is? I’ll take you back first,” Ye Shengxue said.
“No, let’s go directly to your home,” Fang Yu said.
