Chapter 695 Cutting Off Hope!
Meanwhile, Fang Yu was also observing Immortal Butterfly.
This Immortal Butterfly before him was merely a will. What did she really want?
Generally, when cultivators leave behind a will, it’s either to guard a certain item, or because they’re reluctant to leave the world they once lived in and want to linger a while longer. Alternatively, they don’t want their lifetime of knowledge to be lost, so they seek disciples…
This will of Immortal Butterfly also claimed to want to take Ling’er as her disciple.
But from what he could see, her true intentions were certainly not that.
The Black Soul Staff she used, with its annihilation power, was a symbol of demonic cultivation in the cultivation world of her time.
All things considered, Immortal Butterfly was essentially a demonic cultivator.
She had abducted Ling’er, and definitely wasn’t planning anything good.
“What’s your name?”
While both sides were lost in their thoughts, Immortal Butterfly spoke up.
“Fang Yu,” Fang Yu answered.
“Which sect are you from?” Immortal Butterfly asked again.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Heavenly Dao Sect.”
Hearing this name, Immortal Butterfly frowned slightly, feeling somewhat familiar with it.
But she didn’t dwell on it.
At this moment, she was silently reciting a long and obscure incantation in her mind.
She was only talking to Fang Yu to buy time!
“Your strength is impressive. Even in my era, you would have been outstanding,” Immortal Butterfly said.
“Oh? Your era? What era were you from?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise.
“My era… was an era of abundant talent, incomparable to today’s so-called martial world,” Immortal Butterfly’s face showed contempt as she continued, “The so-called top experts in today’s martial world would be a dime a dozen in my era, not even worthy of mention.”
Fang Yu actually agreed with this statement.
“I heard from Qin Yao that you disappeared after reaching the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage? Did you ascend in the end?” Fang Yu asked.
“Of course,” Immortal Butterfly said. “After reaching the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage, I successfully ascended in less than five years.”
“Five years? But I heard from Qin Yao that you only sent a message to her master ten years after you disappeared…” Fang Yu said with a half-smile.
Immortal Butterfly’s expression changed.
She hadn’t expected Qin Yao to tell Fang Yu such things!
“What would Qin Yao, a fifth-generation disciple, know? Back then, I left this will and went into seclusion to comprehend the Dao… In less than five years, I succeeded and ascended immediately,” Immortal Butterfly said.
“So you’re an immortal now,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said.
“You could say that…” Immortal Butterfly smiled slightly and said, “Now, do you still want to be my enemy? If you stand down, I’m willing to consider you as a disciple too and pass on all my knowledge to you.”
“And then what? After you’ve passed on all your knowledge, what will you do?” Fang Yu asked.
“Having found disciples, my wish will be fulfilled, and naturally I should dissipate,” Immortal Butterfly said, a flash of triumph quickly passing through her eyes.
The time had been sufficient; she had finished reciting the incantation.
Now, she just needed to find an opportunity to approach the formation, create a wound on Ling’er to draw a few drops of blood… and she could activate the formation!
“Well? Finished reciting the incantation?”
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly spoke in a casual tone.
Immortal Butterfly’s expression changed.
How could Fang Yu have noticed she was reciting an incantation? That was impossible!
But on second thought, Immortal Butterfly’s face broke into an unrestrained smile.
The incantation was complete, and Fang Yu couldn’t stop her!
Now, she just needed to make Ling’er bleed!
“Spirit Movement Technique!”
Immortal Butterfly’s form flickered, and in an instant, she appeared dozens of meters away, right in front of the motionless, hollow-eyed Ling’er!
She immediately reached out to grab Ling’er.
But before her hand could touch Ling’er, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen!
Immortal Butterfly let out a painful groan and was thrown backward!
“Damn it!”
Immortal Butterfly gritted her teeth and, while flying backward, activated the Spirit Movement Technique again!
This was a spatial technique that used spatial power to achieve instantaneous movement.
This time, Immortal Butterfly appeared directly behind Ling’er!
“Bang!”
As if he had known exactly where Immortal Butterfly would appear, Fang Yu’s right fist smashed directly into her face.
Immortal Butterfly’s entire face caved in, and her body crashed into the wall behind her.
The entire wall was destroyed by the impact, collapsing outward.
“Don’t waste your effort. First, I should tell you that your incantation didn’t work at all,” Fang Yu said.
Embedded in the rock layer, Immortal Butterfly’s heart trembled upon hearing these words.
She struggled to raise her upper body and looked out to see Fang Yu not far away, his pupils glowing red.
From the moment Immortal Butterfly started changing the subject, Fang Yu had sensed something was wrong.
At that point, Fang Yu had already activated his Eye of Insight.
Soon, he discovered that Immortal Butterfly was emitting a trace of spiritual power, connecting with the distant formation.
So, Fang Yu had severed this connection.
After that, Immortal Butterfly had been working in vain.
As for the purpose of this formation, Fang Yu couldn’t tell exactly, but he could make a guess.
“I’m guessing the purpose of this formation is to extend the time your will can remain in this world, right?” Fang Yu said, looking at Immortal Butterfly in the hole created by the impact.
Immortal Butterfly didn’t speak. She raised her hand to repair her injured face.
At this moment, she could feel the weakness of her will power.
Fang Yu’s two attacks had consumed most of her already scarce will power.
“How is this possible!? How could such a strong person exist!?” Immortal Butterfly screamed inwardly.
Seeing that Immortal Butterfly wasn’t speaking, Fang Yu lowered his head to look at the black stones arranged in a formation like a tortoise shell beneath his feet.
Then, he extended his right palm and pressed downward.
“Bang!”
These black stones were instantly crushed into fragments, flying in all directions.
In that instant, the successfully formed array collapsed.
Ling’er, who had been standing motionless, suddenly seemed to lose some kind of power. Her body went limp, and she was about to fall to the ground.
Fang Yu reached out and caught her.
“Who are you! Who exactly are you!?”
After the formation was destroyed, Immortal Butterfly completely lost her mind.
“By the way, according to my deduction, you never ascended, did you? You didn’t even reach the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage,” Fang Yu’s face showed a mocking smile as he said, “When you were about to break through to the peak of the Tribulation Crossing stage, you were too hasty and made a mistake in your cultivation, falling into demonic deviation. Afterward, your cultivation rapidly regressed. Unable to accept this reality, you poured all your remaining cultivation into a will, which is the current you.”
“I’ve destroyed all your hopes. You must be feeling terrible.”
“I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!” Immortal Butterfly screamed shrilly, rushing fiercely toward Fang Yu.
She gripped the Black Soul Staff tightly and swung it violently toward Fang Yu’s forehead.
Fang Yu raised his right arm and swept it forward.
“Bang!”
The Black Soul Staff, along with Immortal Butterfly, flew outward simultaneously!
“Boom…”
Immortal Butterfly crashed onto the desert outside the secret chamber, producing a muffled sound.
Dust flew everywhere, and Immortal Butterfly went still.
By now, Bai Ran and Qin Yao had both stood up.
Bai Ran had recovered somewhat, but his face was ashen.
The sound of Immortal Butterfly’s attack, imbued with soul power, had caused indescribable damage to his spirit, which would take time to recover.
Qin Yao was looking at Immortal Butterfly, who lay not far away, obscured by dust, with an extremely complex expression.
She had heard everything during Fang Yu’s confrontation with Immortal Butterfly.
She couldn’t believe that the ancestral master she had admired and looked up to since joining the Butterfly Sect was such a person with evil intentions.
How could this be?
Her master had always said that the ancestral master was a good person…
At this moment, Fang Yu walked out of the secret chamber with one arm around Ling’er.
He looked at the distant dust and raised his right hand.
It was getting late; he needed to resolve this matter and take Ling’er away.
“Qin Yao… save me…”
Just then, Immortal Butterfly let out a painful plea.
Qin Yao’s body trembled, and her face turned pale.
Fang Yu glanced at Qin Yao and said, “There’s nothing to save. She’s just a will, not a living being. Besides, even if I don’t act now, she won’t last much longer and will eventually dissipate.”
