Chapter 918: Nightmare Returns
Dust swirled around Fang Yu’s position on the combat platform.
All around was dead silence, everyone was in a state of shock, unable to speak.
All this… happened in just a few seconds!
The chief referee beside the combat platform stared at Fang Yu with a dazed expression, and at the large pool of blood on the ground beneath his feet, swallowing hard.
This kind of scene was a first even for him.
Fang Yu turned around, his gaze ignoring everything else, staring directly at the area below the combat platform where the Purple Flame Palace was located.
At this moment, Jiang Dao’s face remained calm.
But the four people beside him could no longer maintain their composure.
What they had just witnessed… made them all recall the events they had personally experienced over two thousand years ago.
Now… the nightmare had returned.
Last time, the other disciples of the Purple Flame Palace, including the elders and the grand elder, had resisted Fang Yu for them, allowing them to survive until today.
But this time, there was no one who could stand in front of them; they had to face Fang Yu directly!
“The, the first match, Frost Cold Palace wins… please both sides, prepare for the next match,” the chief referee announced after coming to his senses.
Fang Yu didn’t move, standing on the combat platform with his hands behind his back, staring directly at the remnants of the Purple Flame Palace below with his dark red eyes.
Finally, the time for the final reckoning had come.
…
“Master… is that person really Fang Yu?” Liu Liansha asked with a pale face and trembling voice.
Su Lengyun remained silent, looking at Fang Yu’s back, her beautiful eyes filled with both confusion and concern.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zheng Ze had quickly descended from the top of the spectator stands, getting closer to the combat platform.
Fang Yu had requested to find people related to the Purple Flame Palace long ago.
He wasn’t clear about the specific grudge between the two sides.
But judging from Fang Yu’s brutal methods just now, the enmity between them must be significant!
“So this is what Mr. Fang looks like when he’s serious?” Zheng Ze felt excited.
He had known Fang Yu for some time now and had seen him take action several times.
But each time Fang Yu acted, one could see his casualness, as if he hadn’t used much strength at all.
But this time… it was clearly different!
Fang Yu’s demeanor, movements, and even his gaze had become extremely sharp and fierce!
Zheng Ze knew that this was likely one of the rare moments when Fang Yu was being serious!
He had to watch carefully to see just how terrifying the power of this Mr. Fang was, whom even his teacher Huai Xu respected so much!
…
“The second match will begin shortly… please both sides send their disciples to the platform,” the chief referee’s voice came again.
Fang Yu turned his head to look at the chief referee.
Just this eye contact made the chief referee shudder, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
“Have the rules for this round been changed?” Fang Yu asked.
“Yes… the first two rounds of competition are best of three… while the third round has been changed to best of five,” the chief referee promptly answered, not daring to be negligent.
“Best of five…” Fang Yu nodded slightly and said, “I have a suggestion that can save everyone’s time.”
“Please, please speak,” the chief referee’s tone became respectful.
“There’s no need for a best of five system,” Fang Yu said coldly. “Let those beasts all come up together.”
“…Huh?” The chief referee was stunned.
“I mean those beasts from the Purple Flame Palace,” Fang Yu pointed forward.
“Whoosh!”
At that moment, a mass of gray energy appeared in front of Fang Yu.
The gray energy gradually expanded, condensing into a figure.
Jiang Dao… appeared in front of Fang Yu.
“Fang Yu, perhaps you think your words can provoke me,” Jiang Dao said with a mysterious smile on his face. “But unfortunately, they won’t.”
“To kill you, I alone am sufficient… the assistance of others means nothing to me.”
“I and the others are no longer on the same level of existence.”
“You talk tough now,” Fang Yu turned to face Jiang Dao and said, “I’m really curious about what inheritance you received during the time you were hiding like a coward, that suddenly made your courage grow so much.”
Jiang Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gray eyeballs showing no emotional color.
“You… will soon find out.”
“If you two have no objections, I’ll announce the official start of the match.”
Being too close to these two men, the chief referee felt immense pressure.
Both Fang Yu and this man who had just come onto the platform had extremely powerful auras.
But the chief referee received no response to his question.
The chief referee bit his lip, asked no more, and leaped backward.
“The second match is about to begin!” the chief referee announced, amplifying his voice with true energy.
“Dong…”
As soon as he finished speaking, the battle bell rang!
…
The surrounding spectators were all staring at the two on the combat platform.
After the first match, they realized… that neither the disciple sent by the Purple Flame Palace nor this male disciple from the Frost Cold Palace was easy to deal with.
Both sides… seemed to have come onto the platform to take each other’s lives.
Although this didn’t align with the essence of the Hundred Sects Competition.
However, this kind of real, bloody battle was exactly what the crowd loved to see.
Since both sides were so fierce, let them fight!
As long as it didn’t affect others present, the more intense the fight, the better!
In the spectator stands, many people had already stood up, staring at the situation on the combat platform.
They knew that in this battle… one side would surely die miserably on the platform again.
…
“Fang Yu, for thousands of years, even when my soul was still dormant, I’ve been thinking about revenge,” Jiang Dao slowly raised both hands, gray energy gathering in his palms.
“Stop boasting. Old dog Hongyin sealed away the souls of you trash, letting you wake up after more than two thousand years, with the obvious purpose of waiting for me to die,” Fang Yu sneered. “He knew clearly that as long as I lived, your Purple Flame Palace would never have a day of revival.”
“But old dog Hongyin didn’t expect that after so many years, I would still be alive and well.”
“So, if old dog Hongyin knew about your actions now, he might be so angry he’d crawl out of his coffin… sorry, he was crushed to dust by me back then, not even his bones remained, so he really can’t crawl out…”
“Ah…”
Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, Jiang Dao let out a roar of anger, his killing intent fully erupting!
Hongyin was the title of the grand elder, and also the person he and the other disciples respected the most.
He would not allow anyone, especially Fang Yu, to insult the grand elder in such a way!
“Fang Yu, don’t think you have the advantage. Today… I must kill you to avenge the blood debt of our Purple Flame Palace!” Jiang Dao said coldly.
“Clap!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Dao struck out with both palms!
On either side of Fang Yu’s position, two semi-transparent giant palms suddenly appeared, sweeping across!
Fang Yu’s eyes were cold as his body moved.
“Boom!”
The ground beneath his feet collapsed under Fang Yu’s step.
Fang Yu shot forward like a fully drawn arrow, rushing straight at Jiang Dao.
Jiang Dao stood in place, bringing his hands together.
In that instant, Fang Yu appeared in front of Jiang Dao, throwing a punch.
“Poof!”
Fang Yu’s punch hit Jiang Dao’s face directly, but passed through it!
Jiang Dao’s entire body turned into a mass of gray energy in that moment!
“Heavenly Separation Fire!”
With a thought, Fang Yu’s fist suddenly burst into bright golden flames.
As the flames appeared, the gray energy immediately contracted into a ball, forming a pearl the size of a fist.
“Whoosh!”
The pearl flashed away rapidly, stopping in mid-air before expanding again.
Jiang Dao’s figure appeared.
On his face was a mocking cold smile.
“Fang Yu, you will never truly be able to hurt me,” Jiang Dao said.
As he spoke, Fang Yu felt something strange beneath his feet.
Looking down, he saw countless hands formed from gray energy tightly gripping his feet, and slowly creeping up his body.
“Fang Yu, don’t think you’re so strong. Back then, Elder Hongyin only lost to you because he didn’t use the Chaos Pearl,” Jiang Dao said coldly. “Now that I have inherited the Chaos Pearl… you can’t do anything to me.”
“Chaos Pearl…”
Fang Yu looked at the gray energy around Jiang Dao, then lowered his head to look at the hands formed from gray energy that were rapidly creeping upward.
His eyes flashed as he forcefully lifted his feet.
“Rumble…”
