Chapter 46 Uyu Clan

Thump!

His back slammed heavily against the ground, his body arching rigidly as intense pain spread through him.

After a brief pause, the scene shifted...

Bang!!!

The ground cracked like a turtle shell, crumbling and exploding downward.

The Great Elder of the Lie Huo Sect screamed, his eyes rolling back in his head.

What… what was this power? Its level was actually not below his!

Before he could think further, the Great Elder of the Lie Huo Sect felt a sharp killing intent descend.

His head transformed into flames as a divine sword brimming with sword intent pierced his brain directly.

Although he had dodged a fatal blow, the fierce sword intent rampaged through his mind, severing his internal energy pathways.

"At this rate, I'll be forced back into my original form by this sword!"

Flames engulfed his entire body, and the Great Elder slithered away from the heavenly sword like an eel.

Fang Yue glanced at the one-armed fire person who had stopped some distance away, then helped Qi Gu up while removing his eye罩 (yanzhao, eye cover).

His eyes had long since transformed into ghoul eyes, black blood streaming down his face, a black halo rising behind him, like a god of the black moon.

"Don't worry about me. Deal with the remaining enemies..."

"Is Tail still alive?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. She'll be fine."

Fine?

Fang Yue looked at Qi Gu's half-mutilated face and the blood-soaked state of her entire body, feeling that Qi Gu's perception of injuries was completely different from that of ordinary people.

"Lord Qi Gu!"

The remaining disciples and elders of the Ji Bing Sect finally arrived.

Fang Yue fed Qi Gu some precious medicinal pills and handed her over to them before walking towards the one-armed fire person in the distance.

"You really dare..."

As soon as the fire person opened his mouth, a black thorn shot out from the black halo behind Fang Yue, piercing through him!

"Useless. It was only because of that heavenly sword earlier..."

Thud!!

The black thorn easily pierced through the fire person's chest.

Seeing blood spurt from his chest, the Great Elder of the Lie Huo Sect froze on the spot, his pupils dilating as he exclaimed in disbelief,

"How is this possible?! Why can this attack touch me? Unless you've already reached the Yu level and can use the power of the source..."

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

The fire person's only response was Fang Yue's four black thorns, which pierced through his limbs, pinning him to the spot, unable to move.

How could this be happening! How could this be happening!

According to Niu Zuo, he had already absorbed the sect leader's power, and with the combination of the human medicine and ghoul power, aside from the powerful attacks of Yu-level experts using the power of the source, no one else should be able to touch him!

But what was with the guy in front of him? Why could he touch him?

He could understand the heavenly sword; it was the treasure of the Tian Jian Sect, filled with fierce sword intent, so it was natural that he couldn't avoid it. But what about those black thorns...

Before the Great Elder of the Lie Huo Sect could figure it out, the man in front of him suddenly emanated a large amount of black Qi, enveloping his entire body, even obscuring his figure.

His pupils shrank as he realized something was wrong. The Great Elder immediately unleashed all his power, trying to break free from the black thorns, but in the next instant, he saw the black shadow turn into a black line, rushing towards him and passing by!

Buzz!!

A piercing sword hum erupted in the air, and the Great Elder of the Lie Huo Sect's head slowly slid off, falling to the ground.

As his head landed, the flames dissipated with the wind, and the headless corpse fell to the ground, silent.

"We won! We won! The Ji Bing Sect won!"

"We won! We really won!!"

The people of the Ji Bing Sect cheered loudly, celebrating their victory.

The remnants of the Lie Huo Sect, seeing this scene, showed expressions of terror and scrambled down the mountain.

However, to their surprise, as they descended the mountain, they saw the reinforcements of the Ji Bing Sect at the foot of the mountain. Those Ji Bing Sect disciples who had responded to the Blood-Glow Ice Lotus had already arrived, completely surrounding the Lie Huo Sect.

Although the Lie Huo Sect might have been stronger in terms of strength and numbers, they had no will to fight.

With the high-end combat power already decided, no matter how hard they tried, it would be futile. It was better to save their lives and seek their own fortune.

The people of the Lie Huo Sect scattered and fled, while the disciples of the Ji Bing Sect, after receiving orders, began to pursue them.

The place that should have been the Lie Huo Sect's mountain gate now completely belonged to the Ji Bing Sect.

"Lord Ye..."

The remaining elders and high-level members of the Ji Bing Sect came to Fang Yue and bowed respectfully.

When Fang Yue had previously visited the Ji Bing Sect as a guest, they had not shown him much respect. They never expected that they would now rely entirely on Fang Yue to save the Ji Bing Sect, to turn the tide. It was no exaggeration to say that he was a great benefactor of the Ji Bing Sect.

"Qi Gu... How is Tail?"

Fang Yue withdrew his gaze from the system prompt and looked at the elders of the Ji Bing Sect.

"Lord Qi Gu's injuries are quite severe, and she has fallen into a coma. The physicians are doing their best to treat her. Fortunately, this place is the Lie Huo Sect's mountain gate, and there are a lot of precious medicinal pills that can be used. Therefore, there should be no worry about saving her life, but it is unclear when she will wake up."

Fang Yue's expression turned ugly when he heard this.

Lord Qi Gu was too reckless. She should have known that Tail's body couldn't withstand her using her abilities so recklessly, yet she still did it...

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

What's done is done. Now is not the time to think about these things. He'll settle the score with Lord Qi Gu when she wakes up next time.

Based on the current development of events, Fang Yue roughly understood why letting Tail leave alone before had led to her death.

Clearly, if Tail had climbed the Lie Huo Sect alone, the most she could have done was to eliminate the Lie Huo Sect leader and a few other elders, which was her limit. Her body couldn't withstand Lord Qi Gu's squandering.

Then, facing the Great Elder of the Lie Huo Sect's attack, she would have completely lost her ability to defend herself, and that's how she fell victim.

Now, because of his presence, he had covered her back, preventing the situation from getting out of control.

In any case, the battle against the Lie Huo Sect had finally come to an end. All that was left was to clean up the mess.

Fang Yue came to the top of the mountain and looked into the distance, his pupils shrinking slightly.

In the distance, at the end of the horizon, in the direction of the capital and Han River, a huge, boundless cloud of darkness was slowly drifting towards the capital.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, he could vaguely see countless black shadows within the dark clouds!

"Finally here... the Uyu Clan!"

Fang Yue frowned.

"Prepare fast horses, gather a group of people, and follow me back to the capital!"

"This..."

The people of the Ji Bing Sect were clearly hesitant.

They had just suffered a major blow and were about to consume the Lie Huo Sect's resources to recuperate and restore their strength.

At this critical juncture, sending people to the capital, which was about to be shrouded in that cloud of darkness, was really inappropriate.

But as Fang Yue's expression darkened, the people of the Ji Bing Sect quickly expressed their agreement – they had all seen the previous battle, and no one present was Fang Yue's opponent!

Clearly, going against Fang Yue's wishes at this time was courting death.

"Yes! We'll arrange it right away!"
