Chapter 624 Testing Talent?
Fang Yu’s reaction was very quick, immediately retracting his upper body.
“Snap!”
The black humanoid creature in front of him closed its wide-open mouth with force, making a crisp sound.
Huge splashes of water scattered from its mouth, showing the strength of this bite!
“I already guessed you weren’t anything good, otherwise you wouldn’t be locked in a place like this,” Fang Yu raised his eyebrows and said.
The humanoid creature stared at Fang Yu, its pitch-black face vaguely showing the contours of facial features, quite distorted.
Fang Yu was also observing this demon-like strange creature, with a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Was this a soul or a physical entity?
Judging from its appearance, it didn’t look like a physical entity at all!
But its power was definitely real!
While Fang Yu was thinking, this creature actually moved its chain-wrapped legs and lunged toward Fang Yu’s position!
“Clank clank clank…”
The chains extending from the ground were forcibly pulled, making a series of crisp sounds.
Although this space was at the bottom of a well, surrounded by spiritual water, all sounds from the bottom were quite clear, without the thickness typically associated with underwater sound transmission.
Facing the lunging creature, Fang Yu didn’t dodge but instead clenched his left fist and smashed it toward its head!
The black creature reacted very quickly, immediately raising two arms and crossing them in front.
Fang Yu’s fist hit the chains wrapped around its arms.
“Bang!”
A loud explosion, and several chains were directly shattered!
However, there were so many chains wrapped around the creature’s body that the broken ones were just a drop in the bucket.
And Fang Yu, through the feeling of this punch, confirmed that the creature before him was indeed a physical entity!
The black creature opened its right arm, formed a claw, and slapped toward Fang Yu’s chest.
Fang Yu didn’t dodge, allowing the slap to hit his chest.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound, and the spiritual water around them exploded!
An extremely strong force sent Fang Yu flying back more than ten meters.
Fang Yu looked at the humanoid creature standing in place, its body seemingly burning with black flames, with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected this creature to possess such power.
Judging from the strength of that strike alone, it was no weaker than an Immortal King!
“Clank clank clank…”
At this moment, the black creature pulled at the chains again and charged toward Fang Yu.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu moved, pushing his speed to the extreme, instantly darting out more than ten meters.
His figure appeared behind the black creature, raising his right foot and delivering a fierce kick to the creature’s head!
“Bang!”
This strike was so fast that the black creature seemed unable to react, taking a heavy kick to the back of its head, smashing directly into the ground.
Fang Yu didn’t stop there, rushing to a position right above the black creature, dropping straight down with both feet stomping on the black creature’s back.
“Boom…”
The entire space at the bottom of the well shook violently.
The black creature’s body was forcibly stomped into the ground by Fang Yu’s attack.
Fang Yu crouched down, reached out to grab the black creature’s head, and lifted it up.
“Can you speak?” Fang Yu asked.
The black creature only made a piercing cry, suddenly turning its head, its large mouth again biting toward Fang Yu’s head.
Fang Yu, expressionless, slapped the black creature’s face.
“Slap!”
The black creature’s entire body flew sideways.
Fang Yu followed up again, striking continuously!
Now, he didn’t want to consider what this black creature actually was.
Beat it up first, then talk!
“Bang! Bang! Bang…”
A series of explosions and tremors spread throughout the bottom of the well.
Fang Yu’s punches and kicks landed on the black creature’s body continuously for nearly three minutes before stopping.
“Boom!”
The black creature was once again smashed into the ground by Fang Yu.
Fang Yu looked at the black creature lying on the ground, his brows tightly knitted.
This series of attacks, if not enough to completely destroy this creature, should at least have broken an arm or leg.
But to his surprise, this black creature’s body seemed to have no skeleton inside.
Fang Yu’s continuous strikes felt like hitting a thick piece of cotton; although each blow landed, they didn’t cause substantial damage.
This Fang Yu found interesting.
After all, even the Immortal King, who claimed to have rebuilt his body with 100,000 flesh bodies, couldn’t withstand many of his punches.
“Crack…”
Less than three seconds after Fang Yu stopped, the black creature lying on the ground stood up again.
It looked at Fang Yu, its large mouth opening into a strange arc, like a maniacal smile, and lunged at Fang Yu again.
This time, it swung its chain-bound right arm at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu transformed his palm into a chop, striking the creature’s right arm.
“Crack!”
Several chains were broken by Fang Yu’s strike.
The black creature continued its attack, thrusting out its left claw.
Fang Yu’s eyes flashed, and he dodged backward.
This black creature before him possessed extreme strength and physical durability, but its movements and speed were very clumsy and slow.
This clumsiness wasn’t natural, but very deliberate.
It was as if it was intentionally exposing weaknesses for Fang Yu to attack.
This behavior clearly had only one purpose.
This black creature wanted to use Fang Yu’s strength to destroy the chains wrapped around its body!
“You’re quite clever, but unfortunately your acting isn’t very good. I’m not playing with you anymore; you can stay here by yourself,” Fang Yu said.
He was certain that this black creature, trapped by chains extending from the ground, couldn’t move very far.
Having said that, Fang Yu turned to leave.
At this moment, the black creature suddenly tilted its head to one side, opened its mouth wide, and emitted a hoarse voice filled with coldness.
“Help me remove these chains… I will bestow upon you supreme fortune.”
Hearing this voice, Fang Yu stopped, turned around to look at the black creature, smiled, and asked, “First tell me your name.”
“I am Gao Tian’ao! The Arrogant Venerable!” The black creature’s tone suddenly became elevated.
“Gao Tian’ao? The Arrogant Venerable?” Fang Yu’s eyes moved slightly as he recalled for a moment, then said, “Never heard of you.”
“You don’t need to know me… you only need to know… that I can bestow upon you a fortune rarely seen in a thousand years,” the black creature said slowly.
“A fortune rarely seen in a thousand years? Look at your current state, neither human nor ghost. How can I believe you?” Fang Yu laughed.
“I told you, I am the Arrogant Venerable! In my day, I was invincible in the cultivation world! I had no fewer than 100,000 disciples! If you had lived during my era, you wouldn’t dare speak to me like that,” the black creature said, its tone seemingly angry.
Hearing these words, the mocking smile on Fang Yu’s face grew even brighter as he said, “If you were so powerful, why are you locked in this place?”
“In those days, I looked down upon all heroes, naturally many were envious of me. They set a trap and ambushed me… I used my last bit of strength to kill those bastards, but afterward I couldn’t break free from the special chains they made for me,” the black creature said.
Listening to the black creature’s words, Fang Yu could hardly contain his smile.
He didn’t believe a single word this creature said!
In the cultivation world of the past, even the strongest first-grade sects had fewer than 50,000 disciples.
Yet this Arrogant Venerable claimed to have no fewer than 100,000 disciples.
Wasn’t this ridiculous?
If such a formidable person truly existed in the world, even if Fang Yu paid little attention to worldly affairs, he couldn’t possibly have never heard of the name “Arrogant Venerable.”
Moreover, the black creature’s explanation for being locked here was quite amusing.
Too powerful, envied by others, collectively ambushed, and finally locked at the bottom of a well… with a name like “Arrogant Venerable,” this naming style… was similar to Lin Batian’s style.
In the survival-of-the-fittest cultivation world, if there truly existed a powerful figure with over 100,000 disciples, no one would dare provoke him! Let alone collectively ambush him.
The words of this black creature before him were full of holes, clearly treating Fang Yu as a fool.
“Young man, you are the first person to see me in so many years. This is your luck, and also your great fortune!” the black creature continued, “Just now I fought with you only to test your talent.”
