Chapter 398 Madness!
Ye Shengxue stared blankly at the figure in front of her.
Fang Yu casually tossed the broken curved blade, which fell to the ground and dissolved into wisps of black gas.
Ye Shenglong, his eyes glowing red, let out a roar and charged toward Fang Yu.
His speed was incredibly swift, instantly appearing before Fang Yu, his hand forming a claw aimed at Fang Yu’s heart on the left side of his chest.
Fang Yu effortlessly caught Ye Shenglong’s hand and twisted it outward.
“Crack!”
A crisp sound rang out as Ye Shenglong’s right hand broke instantly.
But Ye Shenglong seemed to feel no pain, roaring wildly as he extended his left hand again.
Fang Yu chopped his right palm against Ye Shenglong’s left arm.
“Crack!”
Ye Shenglong’s left arm broke at the elbow.
In just two seconds, both of Ye Shenglong’s hands had been disabled by Fang Yu.
Yet Ye Shenglong still emanated murderous intent, his expression extremely ferocious, like a wild beast.
“He’s no longer a living person.” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ye Shenglong.
“Roar…”
Ye Shenglong attacked again, violently thrusting his head forward.
Fang Yu stepped back, easily avoiding the attack, then kicked Ye Shenglong’s left kneecap.
“Crack!”
Another chilling sound of breaking bones.
Ye Shenglong’s left leg broke, and he could no longer maintain his balance, falling to one knee.
“Brother…” Seeing Ye Shenglong’s miserable state, tears streamed down Ye Shengxue’s face.
If he hadn’t been protecting her, how could Ye Shenglong have ended up like this?
Nearby, Ye Zhennan’s face also showed signs of grief.
“To be precise, he’s no longer your brother,” Fang Yu said, turning his head to glance at Ye Shengxue.
Taking advantage of this moment, the three-limbed Ye Shenglong’s red eyes suddenly brightened!
He opened his mouth, forming an extremely powerful energy ball!
Ye Shengxue noticed this and her expression changed drastically as she shouted, “Watch out…”
“Slap!”
Before Ye Shengxue could finish, Fang Yu swung his hand backward without even looking.
This slap landed squarely on Ye Shenglong’s face.
The energy ball forming in Ye Shenglong’s mouth hadn’t been released when it suddenly burst open!
“Boom!”
Fang Yu stood in place, one arm around Ye Shengxue, allowing the explosive shockwave to push them back more than ten meters.
Others nearby weren’t so fortunate, being hit by the powerful shockwave, they were thrown about, screaming in agony.
Nearly a minute later, the dust on the ground gradually dispersed.
Where Ye Shenglong had been, there was now a crater.
Ye Shenglong’s body was nowhere to be seen, clearly having been reduced to a mist of blood.
The survivors stared blankly at the crater before them, then looked around at the devastation.
Many people lay on the ground, their bodies mutilated and bloody. Many had died in extremely tragic ways, too horrible to look at.
Seeing these corpses, the surviving Ye family members couldn’t help but redden their eyes, many even covering their faces as they wept.
Their Ye family had a history of over a thousand years, and had been cursed for over a thousand years, which was already miserable enough!
Yet heaven still hadn’t spared them!
“Why…” The Ye family members could no longer hold back, kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly.
Those who died today were their closest relatives, blood-related family members!
In just a few minutes, they had become cold corpses, some not even maintaining bodily integrity!
Such an outcome was unacceptable to anyone.
Family head Ye Zhennan stared blankly at the crater produced by the explosion, his entire body in a rigid state.
He still couldn’t believe that his son, the future head of the Ye family, Ye Shenglong, was dead just like that.
No remains left!
Ye Zhennan knelt on the ground, his eyes bloodshot, having lost their luster.
“Brother…” Ye Shengxue’s face was pale, her body trembling, tears pouring down like rain.
After today, the person who loved her most in the world was gone.
Her brother Ye Shenglong would never return.
Thinking of how Ye Shenglong had stepped forward for her in his final moments, Ye Shengxue grew even more sorrowful, crying until she was a mess of tears.
Fang Yu, standing nearby, showed no intention of offering comfort.
He thought for a moment, then moved quickly, flashing back to the ancestral hall area.
The ancestral hall was now in ruins.
In the middle of the ruins was a deep fissure.
This was the fissure created by Fang Yu’s Heaven Dao Sword.
Fang Yu came to the edge of the fissure and looked down, but didn’t find the corpse of the Devouring Dragon.
“Strange, could it have been completely obliterated? That one sword strike shouldn’t have been enough.” Fang Yu scratched his head and jumped into the fissure.
The fissure was a good seventy to eighty meters deep.
Fang Yu reached the deepest part of the fissure but still saw no remains.
That massive Devouring Dragon had simply disappeared without a trace.
This made Fang Yu very unhappy.
He had originally planned to take the dragon’s corpse back for research.
After all, it was an extremely rare dragon species, and any part of its body would be extremely valuable.
But now, it seemed that plan had been shattered.
Fang Yu stood at the bottom of the fissure, looking around with furrowed brows.
He felt something wasn’t right.
Not just the disappearance of the dragon’s corpse.
But the entire process of fighting the Devouring Dragon!
It seemed… too easy?
A dragon, though not a divine dragon, was still a dragon that had lived for thousands, even tens of thousands of years!
Although Fang Yu wasn’t clear how the strength of a Devouring Dragon compared to a divine dragon, he was certain that any being that could survive for such a long time wouldn’t be easy to deal with, definitely not a pushover.
Just like himself.
Under this concept, the Devouring Dragon’s strength couldn’t possibly be so limited! And its size couldn’t be so small!
Legendary divine dragons were said to be over a thousand meters long!
Even if the Devouring Dragon wasn’t as powerful as a divine dragon, having lived for over ten thousand years, a body of three to four hundred meters would be normal, right?
But the Devouring Dragon he had just fought was only thirty to forty meters in size, far from the legendary dragons!
Fang Yu even felt that this Devouring Dragon wasn’t as formidable as the giant python wolf he had encountered in Falling Immortal Valley!
It was too weak.
If he were to evaluate this Devouring Dragon using cultivator realm classifications, its strength would be at most not exceeding the Huashen stage!
“Right… I had considered before that families like the Ye family, so-called divine dragon guardians, aren’t the only ones. The Devouring Dragon must have several bases similar to the Ye family… which means, in those family clans, there might exist a similar Devouring Dragon…”
After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu was almost certain that the Devouring Dragon he had just eliminated was definitely not the main body!
It might just be a clone left by the Devouring Dragon!
The true body of the Devouring Dragon must still be alive somewhere in the world!
Having figured this out, Fang Yu wasn’t disappointed; instead, his face showed excitement.
For him, living in this world, the greatest enemy was loneliness.
Now, knowing that there were beings from the same era as him… or even earlier than him, he felt a sense of comfort in finding a kindred spirit.
“Anyway, even if I only slew a clone of the Devouring Dragon, it’s still dragon slaying.” Fang Yu smiled and rose to fly upward, “If I ever meet that old man in the future, I can also boast that I’m a dragon slayer…”
…
Ye Shengxue slowly walked toward where Ye Shenglong had died, now a crater several meters deep.
“Brother…”
Ye Shengxue could no longer hold back, sitting on the ground, hugging her knees, and sobbing loudly.
At this moment, Ye Zhennan, who had been standing rigidly, suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Ye Shengxue, filled with terrifying ferocity.
“You still have the nerve to cry!?” Ye Zhennan stood up and walked toward Ye Shengxue.
Ye Shengxue trembled and looked up at Ye Zhennan.
Ye Zhennan clutched the stump of his severed right arm and said in a hoarse voice, “If you hadn’t brought that Fang Yu home, how could our Ye family have suffered such a catastrophe!”
Hearing these words, Ye Shengxue trembled, watching her father approach, unable to speak.
She had never seen Ye Zhennan look at her with such eyes, even emanating killing intent.
“Do you know how many people died today!? These people were all your relatives!”
“Moreover, with Dragon Lord gone… the curse on our Ye family bloodline can never be broken!”
“After today, our Ye family has completely lost its future! This is all because of you, because of that damned Fang Yu!”
Ye Zhennan walked up to Ye Shengxue, glaring at his own daughter with the eyes of a mortal enemy.
