Chapter 788: Divine Artifact Protects Its Master!
Fang Yu had Zheng Ze carry Pan Yushan and Luo Hao, placing them in the back seat of the car they had arrived in.
“Keep a close eye on them here. Contact me by phone later and update me on their condition,” Fang Yu said.
“Yes, Master Fang,” Zheng Ze replied.
Fang Yu sat in the passenger seat, raised his right hand, and activated the Void Spirit Ring.
“Zing!”
The Void Spirit Ring emitted a glow, and Fang Yu closed his eyes.
The last position tracked by the Soul Tracking Technique… locked.
“Whoosh!”
A second later, Fang Yu’s body glowed and instantly disappeared from the passenger seat.
…
Fang Yu appeared in an abandoned industrial zone on the outskirts of North City.
The ground around him was covered with various industrial waste.
In front of Fang Yu was an abandoned warehouse.
Walking into the warehouse, he could see a large pile of black jars placed on the ground.
These were exactly the jars Fang Yu had detected using his Soul Tracking Technique.
The jars were arranged on the ground, covering an area of over five hundred square meters.
Roughly calculated, there were at least a thousand jars.
Fang Yu walked forward and crouched down in front of the nearest jar.
On the red talisman paper attached to the front of the jar were inscribed the eight characters of a birth date and a name: ‘Cheng Tianluo’.
Fang Yu frowned slightly and looked inside the jar.
Even up close, the inside of the jar was completely black.
“What exactly is inside?” Fang Yu picked up the jar directly and poured it out.
Viscous black liquid poured out from the jar.
This black liquid fell to the ground but didn’t spread. Instead, it formed a clump, like jelly.
Fang Yu crouched down and lightly touched the viscous liquid with his finger.
“Zing!”
His right hand immediately emitted a golden light.
“Sizzle…”
Simultaneously, he heard the sound of liquid evaporating.
The part of the liquid touched by Fang Yu released wisps of black gas, accompanied by a foul smell.
Although he hadn’t figured out exactly what this liquid was, he could at least determine it was something malevolent and poisonous.
“The Half-Spirit Clan has truly committed countless evil deeds—dark magic, infiltrating the Martial Arts Association, slaughtering spirit beasts…” Fang Yu thought.
Just as Fang Yu was about to use these liquids to perform the Soul Tracking Technique again, an extremely powerful aura emanated from behind him.
Fang Yu stood up and looked back.
“Whoosh!”
In mid-air, a figure glowing with red light descended from the sky.
“Bang!”
The figure landed on the ground, causing it to collapse.
“That was quite fast,” Fang Yu smiled as he looked at the figure before him.
The figure was a man with rugged features and a mustache.
He wore black clothes and looked at Fang Yu with an extremely cold expression.
“This place is under my watch. Trespassers… will be killed without question,” the man said coldly.
“Who are you?” Fang Yu asked.
The man didn’t speak but directly raised his right hand toward Fang Yu.
“Whoosh!”
His right hand suddenly burst with red light.
A curved blade that looked like it had magma embedded within it appeared in his hand.
As the curved blade appeared, the man’s aura became even more powerful. His entire body emitted red gas, exuding an intimidating presence.
“You must be from the Half-Spirit Clan, right? I’ve had a few encounters with your kind before. One of them was called something like Minghe…” Fang Yu said unhurriedly.
Upon hearing Minghe’s name, the man’s expression changed, a flash of astonishment passing through his eyes, but it quickly turned into an even more intense killing intent.
He was Tiegu, one of the great generals of the Half-Spirit Clan.
Minghe was his best brother.
A few days ago, news of Minghe’s death had reached him, but initially, he didn’t believe it.
In his view, among the generals, Minghe’s raw strength could rank in the top three.
But later he learned that Minghe had truly died.
Tiegu had originally thought that the young-looking man before him was just an unfortunate person who had accidentally stumbled upon this place.
But now it seemed that wasn’t the case.
This man knew about the Half-Spirit Clan, knew about Minghe… he was definitely no ordinary person!
“What’s your name?” the man stared at Fang Yu and asked.
“My name is Fang Yu… but your Half-Spirit Clan might be more familiar with another name of mine, Fang Changsheng,” Fang Yu smiled faintly.
Fang Changsheng!?
How did he come to this place!?
The man’s expression changed dramatically, and his gaze toward Fang Yu became different.
The name Fang Changsheng left a deep impression on everyone in the Half-Spirit Clan!
They would never forget how the Immortal Dao Kong had been so angered by this man named Fang Changsheng that he had shattered two mountain peaks with a single palm strike!
Two mountains, hundreds of meters high, collapsed under such circumstances!
No one in the Half-Spirit Clan would forget this scene.
Not just because of how shocking it was… but more because of Immortal Dao Kong’s loss of composure.
As the leader of the Half-Spirit Clan, Immortal Dao Kong was seen as a true immortal by everyone in the clan. There was nothing in the world he didn’t know or couldn’t do.
Yet on that occasion, he had become enraged, unable to maintain his calm.
From that moment on, the name Fang Changsheng left a deep mark in the hearts of everyone in the Half-Spirit Clan.
After a moment of shock, Tiegu regained his composure.
He took a deep breath, and his gaze toward Fang Yu was filled with determination.
Meeting Fang Changsheng in such a place was indeed unexpected for him.
But at the same time, it was an opportunity!
If he could take Fang Changsheng’s head here and bring it back to the Half-Spirit Clan, presenting it to Immortal Dao Kong… it would surely be a great achievement!
This was his chance to rise from a general to a Half-Origin level powerhouse!
Tiegu took a deep breath, suppressing all the emotions in his heart.
Now, he had only one goal.
To kill Fang Changsheng who stood before him!
Tiegu gripped the handle of his curved blade with both hands, raising his aura to the extreme.
He didn’t want to give his opponent any chance!
His first strike had to be with full force!
“Fang Changsheng, die!”
Tiegu roared, and a layer of thick scales grew on the surface of his body.
At the same time, he raised his curved blade and charged fiercely toward Fang Yu!
Facing the charging Tiegu, Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he activated Divine Movement.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu instantly appeared in the air behind Tiegu, raised his right foot, and kicked hard!
“Bang!”
Tiegu’s head was struck by Fang Yu’s kick, making a muffled sound as he flew forward.
“Thud…”
Tiegu rolled violently on the ground, crushing a row of jars behind him.
Fang Yu’s body emitted a faint golden light as he looked at Tiegu lying in the distance and said, “I’ll ask you one question: who is Master Soul?”
Tiegu didn’t speak. He stood up, holding the back of his head, his expression pained.
If he didn’t possess the essence power of an eighth-grade spirit beast, the Steel-Armored Lizard, that kick would have been enough to shatter his skull.
This Fang Changsheng… was indeed powerful.
Tiegu stood up, gritting his teeth, and channeled his essence power to the extreme.
Three-Stage Spirit Transformation!
Although it would consume a large amount of essence, Tiegu had no other choice.
He had only two paths before him.
Either kill Fang Changsheng and receive a huge reward, or be killed by Fang Changsheng!
“Roar…”
Tiegu’s throat emitted a growling sound.
At the same time, more and more scales covered his body, and even the bone structure of his head began to change at a visible rate.
After about ten seconds, Tiegu had transformed into the appearance of a large lizard.
Except for the curved blade he held in his hands, it was hard to see any human parts left on him.
“Steel-Armored Lizard…” Fang Yu’s eyes flickered as he looked at Tiegu before him.
“Whoosh!”
At this moment, Tiegu charged toward Fang Yu.
Compared to before his transformation, his speed had increased several times over!
Under the moonlight, his entire body became a silver streak flashing through the air.
In an instant, the curved blade that flowed like magma appeared before Fang Yu.
Tiegu gripped the blade tightly, channeling all his true energy into it, and slashed directly at Fang Yu!
This strike used all his strength!
The aura emanating from the blade was as hot as real flames!
Fang Yu stood still, not moving.
He wanted to use this opportunity to test if his current physical strength could withstand this strike without a scratch.
“Swoosh!”
But in the next second, a white light flashed in front of Fang Yu’s chest.
“Clang!”
Tiegu’s blade struck this white light.
The Divine Sky Halberd!
“Is this a self-protective response sensing that the master is in danger?” Fang Yu thought as he looked at the Divine Sky Halberd standing horizontally in front of him.
“I must kill you! Die!”
Tiegu immediately released his grip on the curved blade and raised his sharp claws, striking toward Fang Yu’s head.
He wanted to smash Fang Yu’s head!
Fang Yu still didn’t move, remaining defenseless.
“Boom!!”
In the next second, large waves of crimson-gold fire suddenly surged around Tiegu’s body, instantly engulfing him!
“Ah…”
Within the fire waves, Tiegu let out a blood-curdling scream as he fell.
The screaming lasted less than two seconds before abruptly stopping.
“Thud!”
The crimson-gold flames dissipated in the air, and the curved blade, now burned to charcoal, fell to the ground.
Tiegu, who had been engulfed in the flames, had vanished.
Countless black ashes scattered in the air.
Tiegu, who possessed the Steel-Armored Lizard’s essence and had undergone three-stage spirit transformation, was incinerated to ashes within two seconds.
Fang Yu stood motionless in mid-air, watching as the Divine Sky Halberd turned into a beam of white light and returned to his body.
Then, he looked down at the curved blade that had been burned to charcoal.
The Half-Spirit Clan general Tiegu had been killed by the two magical weapons inside his body… without his permission.
