Chapter 696: Fang Yu… Save Me!
“Qin Yao, I am your ancestral master… your master is my chief disciple… if you don’t save me, it’s a great betrayal!” The voice of Flower Butterfly True Person came from the dust.
Qin Yao’s eyes were filled with hesitation and doubt.
Fang Yu looked at Qin Yao and said, “You voluntarily brought me here, which is quite helpful. If you really want to save this so-called ancestral master of yours, I can refrain from taking action, considering it a favor returned to you.”
“But I warn you, this master of yours is not a good person. If you save her, who knows what she might do to you…”
“Don’t listen to his nonsense! You are a disciple of the Flower Butterfly Sect, my successor! How could I ever harm my own successor… cough cough…” Flower Butterfly True Person shouted loudly, interrupting Fang Yu.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Qin Yao, and said nothing more.
Qin Yao wrung her hands together, her heart in extreme conflict.
On one hand, she already knew that her ancestral master was indeed not a good person, and could even be called an unscrupulous demonic cultivator!
But on the other hand, Flower Butterfly True Person was the founder of the Flower Butterfly Sect, her master’s master, her ancestral master… this was an unchangeable fact!
“Qin Yao, do you want to betray your master and ancestors? If you do this, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame!”
At this moment, Flower Butterfly True Person shouted again.
Hearing these words, Qin Yao’s body trembled.
She looked at Fang Yu and bowed, saying, “Thank you… for your mercy.”
Fang Yu looked at Qin Yao, nodded, and said, “Very well, this is your choice. Goodbye.”
Fang Yu carried the unconscious Ling’er in his left arm and looked at Bai Ran standing nearby, signaling to leave.
Bai Ran nodded and immediately followed.
Qin Yao watched as Fang Yu and Bai Ran left until their figures disappeared from sight.
“Qin Yao… come help me up.” Flower Butterfly True Person’s voice came from the crater ahead.
Qin Yao took a deep breath and slowly walked to the edge of the crater.
Flower Butterfly True Person was lying in the crater.
But now, her entire body was in a twisted state, looking extremely creepy.
Qin Yao crouched down, reached out to grab Flower Butterfly True Person’s hand, and pulled her out of the crater.
With her complex emotions, she didn’t notice that Flower Butterfly True Person’s left hand was still holding the black soul rod.
“Qin Yao, thank you so much.” Flower Butterfly True Person said.
“No need… Ancestral Master.” Qin Yao replied absent-mindedly.
She didn’t know what attitude to take when speaking with Flower Butterfly True Person.
But just as Fang Yu had said.
After all, this was just a will that would dissipate before long.
She really didn’t need to worry too much.
But at this moment, Flower Butterfly True Person, who had been pulled up by Qin Yao, began to emit a glow.
A moment later, her form appeared.
It was exactly Qin Yao’s appearance!
“Qin Yao, from now on I’ll use your body, how do you feel about that?” Flower Butterfly True Person asked with a strange tone.
Qin Yao couldn’t immediately comprehend the meaning of Flower Butterfly True Person’s words.
But by now, Flower Butterfly True Person had already raised the black soul rod in her left hand.
“If you hadn’t brought that damned Fang Yu here, today I would have been able to reconstruct my soul and occupy that girl’s body, achieving an unprecedented rebirth!” Flower Butterfly True Person’s tone suddenly turned cold, her eyes filled with murderous intent, saying, “Do you know how long ago I made this plan? A full three thousand years!”
As she spoke, Flower Butterfly True Person’s left hand had already raised the black soul rod.
“You made me lose the best candidate, so I’ll have to settle for second best and try to complete the soul reconstruction with you… Don’t worry, since you’re a disciple of my Flower Butterfly Sect, I naturally won’t let you suffer too much. When the black soul rod hits you, your soul will immediately dissipate, it won’t be painful.” Flower Butterfly True Person’s eyes were crazed as she gripped the black soul rod tightly and smashed it toward Qin Yao’s forehead.
Qin Yao wanted to dodge, but her hand was firmly gripped by Flower Butterfly True Person, making it impossible to evade!
With death unavoidable, Qin Yao closed her eyes in despair.
“Bang!”
A crisp collision sound rang out.
Qin Yao was startled but felt no pain.
“Has my soul already dissipated?”
Qin Yao opened her eyes to see an arm with golden light beneath the skin blocking in front of her face.
“To be honest, I really didn’t want to save you. Because I really don’t like your personality.” Fang Yu glanced at Qin Yao and said.
Qin Yao looked at Fang Yu and murmured, “How did you…”
“Fang Yu, go to hell! Go to hell!” Flower Butterfly True Person went completely insane, shouting loudly, swinging the black soul rod again.
Fang Yu held Ling’er with his left arm, reached out with his right hand to grab the black soul rod. His right foot suddenly lifted, kicking Flower Butterfly True Person in the abdomen.
Flower Butterfly True Person flew backward, while a glow emanated from her body, reverting from Qin Yao’s appearance back to her original form.
This was literally being beaten back to her original form.
At the same time, it was clear that Flower Butterfly True Person was at her last gasp, with her will power about to collapse, unable to maintain even her illusory form.
“You must be wondering why this black soul rod can’t harm me, right?” Fang Yu asked.
Flower Butterfly True Person looked at Fang Yu, her face full of hatred.
Indeed, even if the black soul rod didn’t hit the head, just hitting the arm would cause great damage to the soul.
Yet Fang Yu had blocked the black soul rod with his arm several times without any injury.
This defied common sense!
“This magical weapon was indeed famous in the past. However…”
Fang Yu gripped the middle of the black soul rod with his right hand and suddenly exerted force!
“Bang!”
The black soul rod was easily broken in two! The soul power contained within it dissipated with a boom!
Fang Yu casually threw the two pieces of the black soul rod on the ground, the corner of his mouth curling into a mocking smile, saying, “But in front of me, it’s like a chopstick, fragile.”
Seeing this, Flower Butterfly True Person’s heart trembled violently.
Back then, she had spent enormous resources and gone to great lengths to acquire this exceptional magical weapon, the black soul rod.
She had never imagined that someone could, with just one hand! Just one hand! Forcibly break this magical weapon that contained countless soul powers.
“Fang Yu, I’ll wait for you in hell! Just wait, you’ll eventually face retribution!” Flower Butterfly True Person’s mind completely collapsed as she screamed hysterically.
“You seem to like mentioning hell… but I have to tell you a fact, even if hell exists, you can’t go there. Because you’re just a will, without even a soul, you don’t qualify to go to hell…” Fang Yu thrust his right palm toward Flower Butterfly True Person.
“Boom!”
The next second, Flower Butterfly True Person, who was still howling, fell silent.
A large mass of true qi instantly annihilated her.
This strike created a huge furrow in the sandy ground, with dust filling the air.
“Such a simple palm strike, much more effective than the Domineering Palm.” Fang Yu withdrew his palm, thinking to himself.
Beside him, Qin Yao stared at Fang Yu, emotions constantly shifting in her eyes.
“Mr. Fang, this rod must be an extraordinary weapon, right? Isn’t it a waste to break it like that?” At this moment, Bai Ran stepped forward and asked.
“What’s there to waste? This rod is a demonic cultivator’s item, don’t touch it casually. Otherwise, it will affect your mind, gradually changing you into a true demonic cultivator.” Fang Yu said.
“I see.” Bai Ran nodded and then asked, “Shall we go now?”
“Yes.” Fang Yu replied, about to walk forward.
At this moment, Qin Yao suddenly walked in front of Fang Yu and bowed deeply.
“Thank you, Lord Fang… for saving my life.” Qin Yao bent at the waist, head lowered, expressing her gratitude.
“I told you, by bringing me here to see Ling’er, I already owed you a favor. Saving your life just repays that favor. We’re even now, perhaps we’ll meet again someday.” Fang Yu said, intending to walk around her.
“No… when you agreed not to kill my ancestral master, you had already repaid my favor. Now, Qin Yao still owes you a life-saving debt.” Qin Yao raised her head, her bright eyes filled with determination.
“So what do you want?” Fang Yu sighed and asked.
“Please give me a chance to repay this life-saving debt!” Qin Yao said.
Hearing this, Fang Yu looked at Bai Ran ahead and said, “Why is she just like you?”
“Mr. Fang, I think she and I are both doing the right thing! When you owe someone a debt, you should repay it!” Bai Ran’s face also showed determination.
“…” Fang Yu rubbed his head, looking at the two determined faces before him, momentarily at a loss for words.
“Lord Fang, from now on, I am willing to serve you, to complete any task…” Qin Yao said.
“Just like you served Yuan Chenglong and those people, right?” Fang Yu said with a half-smile.
“…Yes.” Seeing Fang Yu’s expression, Qin Yao’s eyes flashed with shame as she explained softly, “Lord Fang, I know what they asked me to do wasn’t good… but I couldn’t refuse. Because when I first awoke…”
“Puff!”
As Qin Yao was speaking, the unconscious Ling’er in Fang Yu’s arms suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly as he looked down to check on Ling’er.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly… then, Ling’er opened her eyes.
But now, her eyes were completely black, with no whites visible!
“Fang Yu… save me…” Ling’er raised her small, delicate hand, seemingly using all her strength to grasp at Fang Yu’s clothes.
