Chapter 753: Failing to Draw a Tiger!
Fang Yu grabbed the giant axe with one hand, his gaze sharpening as he stared at the black-clothed figure above.
The black-clothed person had their face covered, revealing only a pair of eyes that contained not just shock but also murderous intent.
“Seems like I offended someone at the auction earlier,” Fang Yu said with a faint smile.
Before he finished speaking, the black-clothed person suddenly exerted force with both hands, trying to lift the axe again.
But the axe remained firmly in Fang Yu’s grip, not moving an inch.
The black-clothed person’s expression changed slightly as they gathered true qi in both hands.
“Whoosh!”
The entire axe suddenly burst into golden flames.
Fang Yu’s right hand was also engulfed in the flames.
A hint of mockery flashed in the black-clothed person’s eyes.
But in the next second, they felt a tremendous force transmitted through the axe, pulling them downward.
“Bang!”
The black-clothed person didn’t even have time to let go before their entire body slammed onto the ground, dust exploding around them.
Fang Yu stood in place and pulled the axe with another forceful grip.
This time, the black-clothed person could no longer withstand the powerful force, and Fang Yu seized the entire axe.
As it left the black-clothed person’s hands, the flames on the axe disappeared.
Fang Yu brought the axe closer for inspection and could see a medium-sized character “Lu” engraved on the bronze-black axe.
Indeed, it was an assassin sent by the Lu family.
And this black-clothed person before him only had cultivation at the Yuan Ying stage, comparable to the Lu family’s young lady Lu Chuyue.
“Your young miss isn’t being fair. She didn’t make a move against me in person earlier, but now sends you to test my strength. Isn’t she just sending you to your death?” Fang Yu said.
The black-clothed person stood up, looking at Fang Yu with a different expression.
Though still filled with killing intent, there was now a trace of shock.
Fang Yu’s strength had indeed exceeded their expectations.
But regardless, Fang Yu must die!
This was the young miss’s order, which must be carried out!
The black-clothed person stood in place, raising both hands to form extremely complex magical seals.
Their ten fingers moved like brushes, emitting a faint yellow light, leaving brilliant strokes in the air.
At the same time, an aura gradually rose.
“Phantom Tiger!” the black-clothed person shouted, pushing their right hand forward.
“Roar…”
A fierce tiger’s roar sounded as a large tiger emanating a faint yellow glow pounced toward Fang Yu.
“True qi materialization? Interesting.” Fang Yu stood in place, facing the pouncing tiger with his right fist clenched.
At this moment, the black-clothed person’s hands were still rapidly drawing, showing no signs of stopping.
“Phantom Wolf!” With another push of the right hand, a vicious wolf accompanied by a long howl lunged fiercely toward Fang Yu.
“Boom!”
By this time, the tiger formed from condensed true qi had already been shattered by Fang Yu’s single punch.
A large amount of compressed true qi exploded in an instant with tremendous power.
The sidewalk along with the lakeside railings were all blasted apart.
Even the wolf lunging toward Fang Yu was affected by this explosion, its entire body flickering as if about to collapse.
The one most affected was the black-clothed person who was rapidly drawing with true qi.
As they were fully concentrated on the true qi materialization, there was no time to defend.
Thus, the exploding true qi hit them heavily.
“Puff!”
The black-clothed person spat out a mouthful of blood, their body shooting backward like a cannonball, landing on the ground thirty meters away and rolling several times before stopping.
Behind them, Ye Xingxue used the Ice Heart Technique to barely withstand the impact.
Fang Yu moved swiftly toward where the black-clothed person had fallen.
On the way, he casually destroyed the wolf phantom that had stopped in place due to the impact with a single punch.
Another wave of true qi dispersed.
Then, Fang Yu landed in front of the fallen black-clothed person.
“Where did you learn this technique? It has no practical use at all,” Fang Yu said with a faint smile.
By now, the black veil covering the black-clothed person’s face was soaked with blood.
They looked at Fang Yu with eyes full of shock.
They had never imagined that Fang Yu could shatter the tiger condensed from true qi with just a physical punch!
In their understanding, this was simply impossible!
This was a secret technique of the Lu family!
This secret technique was the foundation of the Lu family’s standing in North Capital’s martial world!
Yet before Fang Yu, the phantom tiger that had consumed a large amount of true qi to create… was as fragile as paper, unable to withstand a single blow!
“When materializing true qi, the process must be quick, otherwise it has no value,” Fang Yu said calmly.
At the same time, he raised his right hand.
A faint golden light emanated from his right hand.
“You just created a tiger, right? Then I’ll create one too,” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, extended his index finger, and drew a circle in the air.
Thus, a golden circle appeared in the air.
In the next second, a fierce tiger leaped out from the golden circle!
Its appearance was identical to the tiger the black-clothed person had created earlier, except the light around it was more brilliant.
“Roar…”
The tiger opened its bloody mouth and let out a roar.
The black-clothed person’s eyes widened in terror.
“Crack!”
In the next moment, the black-clothed person’s entire body was swallowed by the tiger’s huge mouth, emitting a crisp bone-breaking sound.
It was as if they were being chewed by a real beast, the sound alone making one’s blood run cold.
After several seconds, Fang Yu gently waved his right hand forward.
The entire tiger instantly dissipated.
On the ground where it had been, only a large pool of blood remained.
The black-clothed person had completely disappeared.
“Although it’s just an excellent-grade technique, the effect seems quite good,” Fang Yu evaluated inwardly.
The technique he had just used was called the Spirit Drawing Art, from the former second-rank sect, Beast Taming Sect.
This technique was broadly similar to what the black-clothed person had used, but the difference was that Fang Yu didn’t need to draw the beast’s form with his hands; he only needed to imagine it in his mind. As long as his true qi and incantation were proficient enough, the casting process was extremely quick.
“Mr. Fang.”
Ye Xingxue approached from behind and spoke softly.
“Let’s go home,” Fang Yu said as he walked forward.
…
At ten o’clock at night, when most people were already resting, the Tang family was in chaos.
Tang Ming was still lying in a hospital bed, and now Tang Cong, who had accompanied Lu Chuyue to the auction tonight, had also been sent to the hospital!
Upon hearing this news, the entire Tang family was thrown into turmoil!
Tang Dehui and his wife immediately went to the First Hospital where Tang Cong was.
In the hospital room, Tang Dehui saw Tang Cong with his face wrapped in thick bandages, and Lu Chuyue sitting beside the bed.
“Chuyue.”
Tang Dehui and his wife immediately became respectful upon seeing Lu Chuyue.
Although they were about to become Lu Chuyue’s father-in-law and mother-in-law, they still didn’t dare to be negligent.
After all, she was the daughter of the Lu family.
If Tang Cong hadn’t been capable enough to win Lu Chuyue’s favor, they would never have been able to associate with such a prestigious family.
“Uncle, Auntie, hello,” Lu Chuyue stood up and said softly.
“How is Cong?” Trying to maintain his composure, Tang Dehui suppressed the anxiety and anger in his heart and asked.
“He’s fine, just some facial injuries. He’s just been given some painkillers and will wake up soon. My family has spiritual medicine for treating such external injuries, and I’ve sent someone to bring it,” Lu Chuyue said.
“That’s good, that’s good,” Tang Dehui and his wife both sighed in relief.
In six days, they would be holding an engagement ceremony with the Lu family.
This engagement ceremony would certainly attract attention from the entire secular world of North Capital, and might even draw notice from the martial world.
If Tang Cong still had scars on his face by then… it would be unacceptable.
“Chuyue, who… injured Cong like this?” Tang Dehui looked at Lu Chuyue and asked.
At this moment, Lu Chuyue’s face was calm as she answered: “A man named Fang Yu.”
“Fang Yu!?” Tang Dehui and his wife’s expressions changed dramatically.
That bastard again!?
He injured Tang Ming yesterday, and today he injured Tang Cong!
And this time, he even injured Tang Cong in front of Lu Chuyue… this was absolutely intolerable!
“This damn bastard…” Tang Dehui couldn’t suppress the rage in his chest, his face turning ashen as he clenched his fists.
“Uncle, you needn’t worry. I’ve already sent someone to deal with him. Good news should arrive soon,” Lu Chuyue said calmly.
Tang Dehui looked up at Lu Chuyue, a glimmer of joy flashing in his eyes.
