Chapter 572 It’s Your Turn!
“Master Yi!” Ancient Glory took the lead, and all the core members of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce stood up, bowing to Yi Duanliu in unison.
Seeing this scene, Tang Mingde and Ji Rumei looked displeased.
The group of people sitting opposite could be said to be the wealthiest individuals in the entire Xiangcheng area, representing the top layer of Xiangcheng’s secular world.
Their respectful attitude toward this elder further proved his extreme power.
Facing the bows from this group, Yi Duanliu merely nodded slightly.
On Fang Yu’s side, he was sizing up Yi Duanliu.
The cultivation aura on his body had been deliberately concealed, but his level was at least in the late Yuan Ying stage.
After Yi Duanliu appeared, Fang Yu suddenly felt another aura emerge.
This aura seemed familiar.
Fang Yu looked up.
There was a huge chandelier at the top of the Nandu Hotel’s hall, and above the chandelier was the ceiling, with no visible person.
But Fang Yu knew clearly that someone was up there.
“Who is Fang Yu?” Yi Duanliu asked calmly.
Yi Duanliu’s gaze swept over Fang Yu and his companions.
His face was expressionless, with no emotion in his eyes.
But upon contact with his gaze, one would still feel a chill from deep within.
Tang Xiaorou shuddered and looked at Fang Yu beside her.
“It’s me. Do you need something?” Fang Yu asked, leaning back in his chair.
Seeing his flippant demeanor, Ancient Glory across the table looked displeased and scolded, “Fang Yu, mind your words. Do you know who he is?”
“So you were indeed waiting for someone.” Fang Yu revealed a mocking smile. “Just now you were tucking your tail like a turtle, but now that someone has arrived, you immediately act tough. Your performance was quite good.”
Ancient Glory’s face alternated between green and white as Fang Yu’s words stung him, anger rising in his heart.
“Still so arrogant when death is at your doorstep!?” Ancient Glory slammed the table and pointed at Fang Yu’s nose.
“Bang!”
Fang Yu merely raised his eyes, and Ancient Glory was thrown backward as if struck by a heavy blow.
He crashed into a table behind him, breaking it, and fell to the ground.
But he didn’t pass out. Instead, he convulsed all over, screaming in agony.
“Ah… kill him for me! Kill him!”
Ancient Glory, lying on the ground, still howled with hatred.
The core members of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce sitting opposite turned pale seeing their chairman in such a miserable state.
Yi Duanliu stood in place, looking at Fang Yu, still expressionless, and said, “Young people always act recklessly, which is their biggest flaw, quite fatal.”
“Old man, your hairstyle looks quite youthful,” said Lin Batian, who had been silent until now, with a smile.
This startled Tang Xiaorou and the others nearby.
If Fang Yu had said this, they would have found it normal.
But they never expected that this friend Fang Yu brought along would also be so bold!
“I’ve met many talented young people like you before,” Yi Duanliu continued, ignoring Lin Batian. “But they were all like you, without a heart of reverence, so their outcomes weren’t very good.”
“Among the people you mentioned, was there someone called Bai Ran?” Fang Yu asked, narrowing his eyes.
“Bai Ran…” Yi Duanliu’s eyes flickered slightly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. “Yes, I have a deeper impression of that young man.”
“He’s been looking for you recently, did you know?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes, I know,” Yi Duanliu replied, still smiling.
As he spoke, he silently extended two fingers of his right hand.
“Benefactor, please don’t act. Let me finish this dog bastard myself!” A voice reached Fang Yu’s ears.
Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly.
“Boom!”
The next second, a rumbling sound erupted from above the ceiling.
A large hole was blasted in the ceiling next to the chandelier, and a figure fell through it, charging directly at Yi Duanliu below!
“Old dog, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!” Dressed in black, Bai Ran descended rapidly from the air, his right hand formed into a claw, striking toward Yi Duanliu’s head.
Yi Duanliu’s expression remained unchanged as he raised his right hand and drew a square shape above his head.
Where his fingers traced through the air, a gray beam of light remained.
A square protective shield appeared above his head.
“Bang!”
Bai Ran’s claw struck directly on the shield.
With an explosive sound, powerful energy waves spread in all directions.
In an instant, the entire dining table nearby was shattered by the blast.
The core members of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce sitting at the table were all thrown back, with exclamations and screams.
On Fang Yu’s side, Lin Batian waved his right hand, setting up an invisible barrier that blocked the energy, protecting everyone inside from being affected.
“Mr. Fang…” Chen Xiangwen looked at Fang Yu.
He was completely confused by the current situation.
He had thought Fang Yu would fight with Yi Duanliu, but unexpectedly, another completely unfamiliar person appeared!
“Take them back. I’ll stay here and watch,” Fang Yu said.
Shortly after Yi Duanliu appeared, he had sensed Bai Ran’s aura.
Since Bai Ran appeared tonight, it seemed he had been tracking Yi Duanliu for a long time.
What would Bai Ran do when facing the enemy who had taken away his freedom and manipulated him for nearly twenty years?
At the same time, Fang Yu also wanted to see exactly how powerful Yi Duanliu was.
So far, Yi Duanliu gave him a mysterious feeling.
“No need to retreat, just stay seated. With me here, no one can harm you,” Lin Batian said at this moment.
Everyone looked at Lin Batian and found him sitting leisurely with his legs crossed, a toothpick in his mouth.
This relaxed posture formed a stark contrast with the extremely tense atmosphere!
“Old dog, today I must have my revenge! I’ll make you taste the most extreme pain in the world!”
After his first attack was blocked, Bai Ran didn’t stop, kicking toward Yi Duanliu’s chest.
“Twenty years of restraint hasn’t improved your mentality. It seems the time was too short.” Yi Duanliu raised his right arm, forming a mysterious legal seal in front of it.
Bai Ran’s foot struck the legal seal, and he felt a terrifying energy backlash against him.
“Bang!”
With an explosive sound, Bai Ran was sent flying backward, crashing into a wall fifty meters away.
“Twenty years ago, I could easily subdue you. Now, dealing with you will only be easier.”
Yi Duanliu’s lips curled into a cold smile as he looked toward the wall that had been smashed through.
This time, he wouldn’t give Bai Ran another chance.
He wanted to refine Bai Ran into a puppet! To completely obey him!
However, while fighting with Bai Ran, Yi Duanliu kept an eye on Fang Yu and Lin Batian behind him.
These two gave him a slight sense of threat, though not very strong, but still requiring vigilance.
“You know this man in black too?” Lin Batian asked Fang Yu.
“His name is Bai Ran. Yi Duanliu used a magical treasure to lock him up for nearly twenty years. He’s his mortal enemy,” Fang Yu said.
“Twenty years… for cultivators nowadays, that’s indeed a long time,” Lin Batian said.
“Whoosh!”
Bai Ran quickly flew out from the broken wall, charging toward Yi Duanliu again.
This time, a dagger appeared in his hand.
Bai Ran gripped the dagger, completely releasing his internal true energy, which wrapped around him, creating an extremely powerful impact force!
Yi Duanliu remained calm, stepping back with his left foot and extending both hands to form a seal in the air.
“Exploding Star Technique.”
Between Yi Duanliu’s hands appeared a circle of legal seals glowing with golden light.
The seals contained extremely powerful energy, with many indecipherable symbols rotating within.
Bai Ran gritted his teeth, showing no intention of dodging.
He knew Yi Duanliu’s attack needed time to form, and he could kill Yi Duanliu with one strike before it was ready!
“Break.”
Yi Duanliu’s hands suddenly shook.
“Boom!”
The legal seal in front of him shot out a five-star-shaped beam of light with terrifying power!
Bai Ran lowered his right shoulder, trying to dodge to the side to avoid this attack.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized that an equally terrifying aura had appeared above his head.
Bai Ran looked up, only to see a golden light descending.
“Rumble!”
With an explosive sound, light flashed, filling the entire hall.
Shattered stones flew out, and the fallen members of the Xiangcheng Chamber of Commerce cried out in succession.
The power of this explosion even made the entire hotel shake!
“This young Brother Bai Ran has too few offensive techniques. His defeat was expected,” Lin Batian said to Fang Yu as the entire hall shook.
“His talent is good, like mine, primarily focused on body techniques and physical cultivation. But unfortunately, he was trapped by Yi Duanliu for twenty years, which should have been a golden period for his rapid improvement,” Fang Yu said.
“You seem to admire him,” Lin Batian said.
Fang Yu didn’t say anything, just looked ahead.
The light gradually dispersed.
A large depression appeared on the floor of the hall.
Yi Duanliu grabbed Bai Ran’s head with one hand, holding him suspended in mid-air.
Bai Ran was now in a semi-comatose state.
“Compared to twenty years ago, you really haven’t improved at all,” Yi Duanliu said, looking toward Fang Yu, throwing Bai Ran to the ground and stepping on his cheek.
“Now it’s your turn.”
Yi Duanliu looked at Fang Yu and said coldly.
