Chapter 99: Doing As He Pleased

“How… how could this be…”

The leader spat out blood, clutching the sword wound on his chest, looking at Fang Yuan in shock.

He had not even made a move, but his body had already suffered so many injuries.

Didn’t Young Master say that this person’s strength was only at the Enlightenment Realm?

They had already given him face by sending so many people.

It was more than enough to deal with a seventh or eighth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master.

Moreover, there was a Gu formation assisting from the side. Even a peak expert at the tenth layer of the Enlightenment Realm would not have an advantage.

In the end, they were utterly defeated in just a few moves?

How could he do as he pleased?

Ridiculous!

With Fang Yuan’s methods and abilities, even the Enlightenment Realm experts on the Prodigy Roll were not this strong!

In fact, under the cover of Second Senior Su Can’s Boundless Swords talisman, the advantage in numbers was instantly gone.

There was no doubt about Su Can’s strength. Using the talismans he personally made to fight these Enlightenment Realm opponents was like chopping vegetables, no different from slaughtering them.

Moreover, none of these Gu masters had rank four Gu worms.

Most of the attacks did not have much of a deterrent effect in front of the Sunlight Gu’s Yang Flame Incarnation.

It was easy since it could block the attacks.

This allowed Fang Yuan to focus on controlling the Boundless Swords talisman. With a wave of sword rain, less than half of the people on the battlefield could still stand.

The remaining people were mostly injured from the backlash of their Gu worms’ deaths, and even circulating their spirit essence was a little strenuous.

What was worse was that they did not even have a chance to catch their breath.

Fang Yuan’s body turned into a ray of light, charging straight towards the Gu formation.

The blazing light flashed, and accompanied by the Gu worms’ painful cries, the formation’s Gu worms that were already injured by the Boundless Swords talisman were burned down in an instant.

The leader was even more shocked.

He could still move so fast under the restriction of the Gu formation?

You must be joking.

In fact, Fang Yuan had been drinking Gu wine for a long time, so his physique was growing.

Even if he used Phantom Steps now, ordinary Gu masters of the same cultivation level would not be able to keep up with his speed, and those who were weaker would find it difficult to even see him clearly.

This gave the leader a huge headache.

Based on the current situation, let alone taking down this old man, even injuring him would be difficult.

But this old man aside, with Young Master’s temper, they would definitely not have a good time.

Right at this moment, someone beside him asked, “Leader, should we capture his sister and force him to hand over the item?”

The leader’s eyes immediately lit up.

Right, if they couldn’t deal with him, couldn’t they deal with his weakness?

“Defend Gu masters, go and stall him. There is no need to attack, just trap him. The rest of you follow me to capture that woman!” The leader immediately ordered.

The crowd immediately sent out more than ten people to surround Fang Yuan.

Following that, the leader took the lead and led his people towards Li Tongzhou.

“You really think highly of me.”

Li Tongzhou turned around, his clothes fluttering.

As his spirit essence surged, the Heaven Suppression talisman’s effect spread, affecting all the Gu masters that charged in.

The group’s Gu worms immediately drooped.

But they did not give up because of this. After discovering the abnormality, they attacked with their fists and legs.

The advantage in numbers was still very obvious.

Li Tongzhou could still rely on his physique and combat skills to flip two of them at first, but as more and more people charged at him, it became more and more difficult to deal with.

“Brother!”

Li Tongzhou directly shouted loudly.

Fang Yuan immediately raised his hand from afar and spat out cold mist from his palm, forming a thick ice wall around him and easily dispelling many attacks.

The ice wall he created was so tough that even the strengthened Devourer Mother Gu needed several attacks to break it, not to mention people like them who were within the range of the talisman and were no different from mortals.

The leader was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He could not defeat the brother, and he could not capture the sister, how could he continue this mission?

However, at this moment, a deafening roar came from the Berserker Domain.

Following that, the blood-colored barrier disappeared.

Nine figures were revealed.

What shocked everyone was that the eight Gu masters from the various sects and clans all collapsed to the ground without exception.

Only Zhao Hede was left standing on the field.

His gaze swept over the group of black-clothed people who still wanted to attack.

“I don’t want to kill anyone. Get lost!”

The cold words came out of his mouth with a majestic momentum.

The leader’s heart shook. He secretly glanced at Jiang Yuncheng, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth. He understood the command in his eyes and raised his hand.

“Retreat!”

The dozens of people did not hesitate. They moved extremely quickly, retreating like the tide, disappearing into the forest, not even leaving behind their companions’ corpses.

Fang Yuan knew it was his turn to perform.

“Cough cough…”

He pretended to be unstable, looking at the eight people lying on the ground with hatred.

“I did not expect… you great sect Gu masters who walk the world… to be so despicable, trying to assassinate me and my sister.”

Saying so, Fang Yuan used his spirit essence to stimulate his meridians, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Ptui!

Fresh blood splattered everywhere!

His body was unstable, on the verge of collapse!

“Brother!”

Li Tongzhou rushed up at the right time, quickly supporting him, and the anxious expression on his face became even more beautiful.

Jiang Yuncheng quickly explained. “Fairy, don’t misunderstand, I don’t know those people at all.”

“You don’t know them? If you don’t know them, why are you here?”

Li Tongzhou glared at him with hatred, “You, none of you can escape the responsibility!”

“I…” Jiang Yuncheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Earlier, when he saw Zhao Hede brazenly making a move, he was truly taken aback. Because he was worried that his plan would fail because of this, he was so anxious that he decided to show up and fight.

But he didn’t expect that he would leave such a bad impression on his fairy.

He couldn’t help but to feel frustrated in his heart.

Even Qin Wentian, who had always been against him, no longer mocked him.

Evidently, the fairy also bore a grudge against him.

Just as he was thinking of ways to regain her trust, Fang Yuan immediately sentenced them to death.

He weakly patted Li Tongzhou’s hand, “Little sister, there’s no need to say anything more to these people. If it wasn’t for the Gu Immortal Sect acting in a righteous manner, we siblings would probably have died here today. Quick, go and thank that fellow Daoist.”

Li Tongzhou immediately bowed, saying, “Thank you… fellow Daoist for your help.”

Zhao Hede’s expression softened, following Fang Yuan’s instructions. “I am only following the sect’s rules and regulations. Outside the Gu Immortal Sect’s territory, I cannot protect you.”

“Thank you for your reminder.”

Fang Yuan cupped his hands, holding the Divine Escape talisman in his hand. Looking at the other eight people on the ground, he snorted. “When I have succeeded in my cultivation, I will pay them a visit!”

As he spoke, he injected his spirit essence into the talisman.

The talisman instantly burst out with dazzling light and wrapped around him and Li Tongzhou’s bodies.

By the time the light dissipated, the two of them had already disappeared.
