Chapter 227 He Actually Hurt Me?
　　
Clearly, just now, Captain Wu wasn't completely at a disadvantage in his confrontation with the Fifth Prince; he had actually managed to inflict some damage.

It was just that, comparatively, Captain Wu had suffered a severe blow. If not for his bloodline power, a normal person would surely be dead by now. As for the Fifth Prince of the Uyu clan, he hadn't even sustained a minor injury.

Watching the Fifth Prince walk through the air, Fang Yue's expression darkened.

"Captain Wu, can you still fight?"

"Of course, no problem!"

Captain Wu cracked a grin, colliding his fists together.

His injuries had completely healed in the faint golden light surrounding him.

This ability was even more terrifying than Fang Yue's Breath of the Night.

"Then, let's have a long-overdue… team-up!"

Fang Yue also grinned, silently chanting in his heart.

"Parchment!"

[Do you really have to fight? Ugh, this is so annoying! Seriously, if anything happens to you, don’t blame me!]

"Don't worry, I'm as tough as they come!"

Besides, it wasn't a matter of whether Fang Yue wanted to fight or not. The Uyu clan royalty had set their sights on him, and Fang Yue suspected it was related to Ma Ling'er's death at his hands.

"Captain Wu, be careful of his eyes. When his eyes glow with black light…"

Fang Yue kept his eyes on the Fifth Prince in mid-air while sharing his findings with Captain Wu.

Before he could finish speaking, the Fifth Prince vanished into thin air and reappeared as if teleporting, right in front of them.

But as soon as the Fifth Prince arrived, he took a solid punch to the face.

*Bam!*

The fist, wreathed in golden light, slammed into the Fifth Prince's face, sending him flying backward dozens of meters before he stopped in the distance.

Only then did Captain Wu retract his fist and say, "Captain Ye, I've also discovered his bizarre trait. On the contrary, we can use his teleportation to strike preemptively!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Wu charged toward the Fifth Prince, but he only got halfway before the Fifth Prince flashed in front of him.

"Here you come! Uyu clan…"

Captain Wu roared, and as golden light flared, he was sent flying with a punch.

At the moment Captain Wu was knocked back, a cold light appeared from the side, aiming directly for the Fifth Prince's neck!

*Clang!*

Despite the incredibly tricky angle, the Fifth Prince precisely raised his hand to block the sword strike.

But this… was only a feint!

"Guici (Bizarre Thorns)!"

His eyes turned pitch black, and a black wheel rose behind him, unleashing dozens of black thorns that shot toward the Fifth Prince.

This attack finally caused the Fifth Prince to show a slight change in expression, as if somewhat taken aback.

He retreated while dodging the thorns, which pierced the ground like spears. The Fifth Prince retreated over a hundred meters away.

When the Fifth Prince stopped and looked at his arm, there was a shallow white mark on the black bone armor of his right hand, which had just blocked Fang Yue's Tianjian (Sky Sword). But after about a second or two, the black color and luster returned.

"The Tianjian's attacks can cause a temporary effect, but it can't break through his black bone armor. He's somewhat wary of the Guici formed from bizarre power, so they should have some effect."

Fang Yue stared thoughtfully at the Fifth Prince, who was obscured by dust in the distance. Just then, the Fifth Prince's figure suddenly disappeared!

*Thud!*

Before he could even react, his head was struck a heavy blow, and as he staggered downward, Captain Wu's voice rang out from behind.

"Uyu clan, dare to touch a hair on Captain Ye's head!"

A blinding golden light flashed past him, followed by a burst of sound, and he crashed into the Quanjiao Tower ahead.

Fang Yue knelt on the ground, looking up. The battle between the two ahead was completely enveloped in golden light, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

But Fang Yue had already realized something.

The Fifth Prince's ability wasn't as simple as just making eye contact.

He hadn't made eye contact with the Fifth Prince just now. With so much dust, he couldn't even pinpoint the Fifth Prince's exact location, so how could he have met his gaze?

So the Fifth Prince's ability was likely…

*Whoosh!*

A blinding golden light flashed past him, accompanied by a heavy thud, as it slammed into a nearby house, causing the wooden structure to collapse into ruins.

Fang Yue's eyes narrowed.

The golden light was none other than Captain Wu's upper body, severed in two.

The cut was jagged, as if torn apart by a heavy punch, and golden blood flowed out. Captain Wu himself seemed to be on the verge of death, but the sound of the phoenix cry gradually grew louder.

From the direction of the Quanjiao Tower, the Fifth Prince emerged from the dust, tossing aside the lower half of Captain Wu's body. His figure vanished in an instant, and when he reappeared, his fist, as big as a sandbag, was already in front of Fang Yue's eyes.

"Liubing (Glazed Ice) Footwork!"

Pushing off with his back foot, Fang Yue narrowly dodged the Fifth Prince's fist, then retaliated with a backhand slash.

*Buzz!*

Glacial Heart Technique!

Glacial Sword Technique!

Glacial Sword Canon!!

Under his control, inner force rapidly flowed within his body, gathering on the blade. The Glacial Sword Technique, absorbing the power of numerous techniques, suddenly caused layers of ice crystals to climb onto the surface of the Tianjian!

*Clang!*

The Tianjian accurately struck the Fifth Prince's black bone armor, cutting in a third of the way before briefly getting stuck.

Fang Yue's retreating figure paused slightly.

In that instant of delay, a black shadow attacked, a large hand grabbing his shoulder. Supporting the Tianjian, a knee strike slammed directly into Fang Yue's chest.

*Thud!*

An invisible shockwave erupted around them, and Fang Yue's eyes widened in pain as a sharp pain shot through his chest. The Tianjian almost slipped from his grasp, and his body floated up uncontrollably.

-52716!

His health plummeted in an instant. Although the Breath of the Night was rapidly restoring his health, it was a drop in the bucket.

The once invincible Breath of the Night was no longer keeping up with his healing, with his current health pool of 200,000.

The hundred-digit value changed rapidly, and while his health was rapidly recovering, it could barely recover a thousand or two in that time, which was simply not enough to compensate for the tens of thousands of health points lost.

As he watched the Fifth Prince seize the opportunity to punch him in the head while he was suspended in the air, Fang Yue's expression changed, and the bizarre energy within his body rapidly decreased!

*Boom!*

A violent black energy erupted from his body, engulfing both him and the Fifth Prince.

As the Fifth Prince continued to punch Fang Yue's head without hesitation…

*Bang!*

The fierce punch landed on a black shield formed from black energy!

Under his attack, the black shield only paused and trembled for a moment before shattering into countless black fragments, scattering on the ground.

But within the fragments, a black light emerged from the dense black energy, slashing toward his chest!

*Clang!*

The black sword, shrouded in black energy, was like a magic weapon that cut through iron like mud, directly and deeply cutting into the black bone armor until it was about to touch the Fifth Prince's main body before finally stopping.

Just that?

The Fifth Prince had just lowered his head and smiled coldly when he heard Fang Yue looking up at him with cold eyes.

"Scram."

*Bang!!!*

Like a steam engine, violent black energy exploded on the back of the Tianjian, transforming into endless power, pushing the Tianjian down with brutal force!!

The Tianjian broke through the black bone armor without resistance and cut into the Fifth Prince's body, splashing black blood high into the air, forcing the Fifth Prince to take two steps back in shock as he looked down at the wound on his chest.

-159353!

"He… actually hurt me?"
