Chapter 69: Exhausting All Cultivation!

 

Yang Jian… admitted defeat!?

The audience fell into silence.

The reversal came too quickly for them to react.

Just twenty seconds ago, they still believed Yang Jian had won, and that Fang Yu was already dead.

But the reality was that Yang Jian had lost his right hand and had to admit defeat!

The most terrifying part was that apart from his tattered shirt, Fang Yu had no visible injuries!

This indicated that Fang Yu’s strength was likely far beyond Yang Jian’s!

Yang Jian was a martial arts master who had stepped into the realm of grandmasters!

If Fang Yu’s strength surpassed his, what level was he at?

Thinking of this, the crowd’s expressions changed dramatically, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at Fang Yu.

At this moment, the Tang and Ji families were filled with joy!

Tang Xiaorou smiled through her tears, saying, “I knew Fang Yu would be fine!”

“This is the Mr. Fang I know, always able to surprise people…” Ji Rumei gazed at the figure on the fighting stage, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration.

Tang Mingde and Ji Dongshan finally relaxed, their previously gloomy faces easing at last.

After Yang Jian shouted his admission of defeat, Fang Yu did not stop his steps and continued to walk slowly towards Yang Jian.

“I admit defeat! I admit defeat!” Yang Jian continued to shout.

At this point, he could no longer care about dignity or reputation.

He had to survive! As long as he survived, he still had a chance to make a comeback!

His master would surely have a way to help him get a new right hand, and then he would continue to train hard, perfecting the Divine Dragon Technique, and seek revenge on Fang Yu!

But all of this depended on him staying alive.

Seeing that Fang Yu’s steps had not stopped, Luo Ziming and Wanyang shouted at the three witnesses who were still in a daze, “Our senior brother has admitted defeat, why aren’t you asking Fang Yu to stop!”

One witness came to his senses and shouted at Fang Yu on the stage, “Master Fang, Master Yang has admitted defeat, please stop, do not…”

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by a terrifying glance from Fang Yu.

“Is there such a thing as admitting defeat after signing a life-and-death contract?” Fang Yu asked.

“Yes, according to the regulations of the Martial Arts Association, in a duel…” the witness forced himself to remain calm and explained.

“That’s your regulation. Here, once a life-and-death contract is signed, life and death are no longer up to oneself.” Fang Yu said indifferently, ignoring the so-called witness and continuing towards Yang Jian.

Yang Jian’s face turned pale, his whole body trembling.

Due to excessive blood loss, most of his strength had been drained, and now he couldn’t even escape if he wanted to!

“Junior brother, save me!” Yang Jian looked at Luo Ziming and Wanyang, shouting loudly.

“I’ll distract Fang Yu, you go save senior brother and then run!” Luo Ziming said to Wanyang beside him.

Wanyang’s face was ashen as he nodded.

Then, the two rushed out together.

Luo Ziming’s aura erupted as he charged towards Fang Yu.

As a half-step grandmaster, Luo Ziming was quite strong and was considered one of the best among the younger generation in the Jiangnan martial arts community.

“What are you going to use to distract me?” Fang Yu looked at Luo Ziming and slapped his hand in the air.

Before Luo Ziming could reach Fang Yu, he felt a tremendous force rushing towards him.

“Poof!”

Luo Ziming was sent flying to the side, rolling on the ground several times before losing consciousness.

At this moment, Wanyang hadn’t even reached Yang Jian’s side.

Seeing Luo Ziming’s fate, Wanyang turned pale, feeling his legs go weak, and he dared not move.

“Fang Yu, if you kill me, my master will never let you go. He is the revered master of Jiangnan, Gu Lulong! You…” Yang Jian shouted hoarsely, his eyes filled with fear.

Fang Yu had already walked up to him, grabbing Yang Jian by the neck and lifting him off the ground.

“Fang Yu, stop!”

Seeing this scene, Yang Shaorong could no longer hold back, his eyes red as he shouted in despair.

Fang Yu looked at Yang Shaorong and the trembling Yang Yinzhu beside him, saying calmly, “Your Yang family owes me a debt, it must be repaid, right?”

Yang Yinzhu looked at Fang Yu, her eyes filled with not only fear but also endless resentment.

Why!

Why can’t Fang Yu ever be killed!

Even her elder brother, who had stepped into the grandmaster realm, was not his opponent!?

Just a minute ago, she was envisioning a bright future of cooperation between siblings.

But a minute later, everything was gone.

I am unwilling… I am unwilling!

In our generation, every member of the Yang family is a genius! Why should we be destroyed by just one person, Fang Yu!?

Yang Yinzhu’s eyes turned bloodshot, her teeth grinding together.

She tried her best to calm herself down, to stop trembling.

However, the imbalance in her mindset brought her to the brink of collapse.

She desperately wanted to rush onto the fighting stage and fight Fang Yu.

But she knew that doing so would not only be futile but also foolish.

Rationality told her that she must find a way to leave this venue.

Otherwise, she might not be able to leave in one piece later.

Thinking of this, Yang Yinzhu tugged at Yang Shaorong’s hand and whispered hoarsely, “Dad… we… need to leave here quickly.”

“I won’t leave! Last time when Xu’er had an accident, I wasn’t there. If Jian’er has another accident… I… even if I leave, what difference will it make!!” Yang Shaorong’s eyes were bloodshot, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Even Yang Jian, who had stepped into the grandmaster realm, was no match for Fang Yu; the Yang family was utterly hopeless.

Yang Shaorong was in despair, only wanting to save Yang Jian’s life.

He never imagined that the stage they had specially built today would witness Yang Jian’s downfall!

Yang Yinzhu gritted her teeth, looking at Yang Shaorong, and turned to leave.

On the fighting stage, Fang Yu slapped Yang Jian repeatedly.

“Smack, smack, smack…”

Apart from the loud slapping sounds, the entire venue was silent.

The crowd looked at the unconscious Yang Jian, feeling a chill run through their bodies.

It was too tragic.

Just moments ago, Yang Jian had been so glorious, and now he had fallen to such a fate.

However, in the brutal martial arts world, where the strong prey on the weak, this was quite normal.

Not far away, Wanyang saw Yang Jian’s miserable state and felt his scalp go numb, trembling all over.

Yang Jian, his senior brother, was the master’s favorite disciple. If the master knew Yang Jian had been beaten like this…

Fang Yu held Yang Jian’s head with one hand, intending to test the modified Essence Devouring Technique.

At that moment, Yang Shaorong suddenly knelt down, bowing to Fang Yu.

“Fang Yu, Master Fang… please spare Yang Jian, leave him his life. No matter what you want, our Yang family can give it to you, we just hope you can let him go…” Yang Shaorong cried out.

He had completely broken down; Yang Xu had already become a cripple, and if Yang Jian died too, he really didn’t want to live anymore…

Seeing this scene, many representatives of the families present showed a hint of pity and sympathy in their eyes.

Fang Yu glanced at Yang Shaorong, his expression indifferent.

He had given the Yang family opportunities before, but they had not cherished them, repeatedly challenging Fang Yu’s bottom line.

Finally, they had crossed Fang Yu’s line.

From the moment Yu Yueyue was injured, in Fang Yu’s heart, the Yang family had been sentenced to death.

Fang Yu ignored Yang Shaorong, holding Yang Jian’s head and silently reciting the incantation.

A faint red energy emanated from his palm.

The true energy within Yang Jian’s body was all gathered into his dantian and transformed into spiritual energy.

Then, Fang Yu slowly absorbed the spiritual energy from the dantian.

This time, Fang Yu was very cautious, timing it perfectly, and only began to absorb after all of Yang Jian’s true energy had been transformed into spiritual energy.

A pure spiritual energy flowed from Fang Yu’s palm, coursing through his entire body’s meridians, and finally converging into his dantian.

“Success!” Fang Yu’s face lit up with joy as he felt a warmth coming from his dantian, his cultivation level rising steadily.

One layer… two layers!

Fang Yu broke through to the 9,842nd layer of the Qi Refining Stage, equivalent to swallowing a fifth-tier monster’s core!

But what truly made Fang Yu happy was not just the two-layer breakthrough. It was that he had successfully modified the Essence Devouring Technique, turning it into a method for absorbing spiritual energy from his own body!

“It shall no longer be called the Essence Devouring Technique… let’s call it the Spirit Devouring Technique instead,” Fang Yu thought.

The audience watched Fang Yu’s actions in a daze, but no one knew what he was doing.

After absorbing Yang Jian’s spiritual energy, Fang Yu kicked him aside.

Yang Jian’s dantian was completely drained of spiritual energy; now he was just an ordinary person, lacking even the strength of a first-stage innate.

Moreover, due to Fang Yu’s use of the Spirit Devouring Technique on him, his dantian had also suffered some damage, making it impossible for him to cultivate again in the future.

However, due to excessive blood loss, Yang Jian was unlikely to survive, so other matters were no longer a concern.
