Three assassins infiltrate the Nanyuan Family estate, each searching for a specific target. Shu Shuipo, a highly skilled assassin from the Shu Family, is tasked with eliminating Divine Doctor Ding, an assignment he takes very seriously. He locates Ding and, believing Ding to be vulnerable, throws a deadly Flying knife. However, just as he begins his escape, a loud sound erupts, and he sees two fingers.

The young man’s slender and fair fingers were like chopsticks picking up vegetables, firmly pinching his infallible flying knife in the middle!

The steadiness was such that the blade of the flying knife, which had been flying violently, showed no signs of shaking!

Shu Shuipo, who was known for his keen eyes, immediately noticed the details, and suddenly his whole body bristled with horror, a feeling of shock like having exploded hairs wildly surged from his heart.

Meanwhile, the target, the Divine Doctor named Ding Hui, seemed to have just noticed the flying knife’s presence and turned her head to look over.

"You came earlier than I thought." She said casually, as if talking about something trivial.

"You knew someone was coming to kill you?" The young man asked confusedly.

"The human heart is dangerous; some things don’t need to be thought about to know they’ll happen. Compared to this, husband, come quickly and look at this, this persimmon is not simple; don’t be fooled by its appearance..."

The Divine Doctor was talking incessantly about the square persimmon, even poking her finger into it, allowing golden flesh with a flowing sand-like texture to ooze out.

That excited state, along with the unique relaxation, left Shu Shuipo feeling bewildered.

Their casual talk, their demeanor, was as if a fly had just passed by, simply disturbing their interest, indifferent and relaxed, not even... looking directly at him the assassin!

The infallible flying knife missed, leaving him stunned and surprised.

But the mission must continue!

The person must still be killed!

So, he unleashed the knife again!

Swish swish swish swish!!

This time, accompanying his strike, the air produced a violent cracking sound!

Each sound was so sharp that it pierced and hurt the average person’s eardrums!

His reckless strike was naturally due to the failure of his first surprise attack forcing him to go all out to resolve the target as quickly as possible!

Four flying knives, three direct attacks, one hidden!

Three flying knives rushed directly at the young man!

The hidden one suddenly veered off as it neared the young man!

Qi Force!

The airflow channel created by Qi Force forcibly altered the flying knife’s trajectory!

This was a common technique, but what was unusual was... Shu Shuipo’s flying knife was fast! Fast to the point of being astonishing! Fast enough that most Martial Artists absolutely could not handle it!

But...

Clang clang clang—boom!!!

Shattering.

Shu Shuipo watched in amazement as the three flying knives he threw were casually swatted away by the young man as if swatting mosquitoes!

And the last turning flying knife was even chased and slapped down halfway, shattered into pieces with one slap! Scattered all over!

Shu Shuipo’s eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded.

The previous parries were understandable, but the latter with a slap smashing the flying knife into pieces, he couldn’t grasp.

Shu Shuipo just felt terrified upon closer thinking!

If it was as he thought... this young man’s power was probably... immeasurable!

Secretly, he broke a thumb-sized wooden board hidden inside his sleeves with a snap!

Shu Shuipo’s gaze remained fixed on that young man’s hand.

"I imagine this friend must be Diao Deyi, Young Master Diao." Fang Yu laughed, extended his right hand, and sprinkled the bone powder from his hand, laughing while he spoke.

"If you hadn’t spoken, I would have thought you were mute."

[Shu Shuipo: 8000/8000.]

Power is neither high nor low, standard Hall Master level power.

But, that’s concerning Fang Yu.

Looking across the entire Da Liang city, this level of powerhouse is enough to reign over one side, belonging to the backbone level of the power structure.

Having sprinkled all the bone powder in his hand, Fang Yu flicked his hand to clean off the residue and then looked at Shu Shuipo, restraining his smile.

"Suddenly chatting with me is meant to buy time, right? You should know, here is the Nanyuan Family territory; buying time can only bring reinforcements from the Nanyuan Family. But you still did it, so... you have allies, and they are very close, closer than the reinforcements from the Nanyuan Family."

Being exposed, Shu Shuipo showed no change in expression but stared at Fang Yu, slowly stepping to the left, seemingly looking for a better angle and timing to attack the woman who still had her back turned to him, admittedly amidst an attack but utterly indifferent, still picking through the material pile.

"Young Master Diao has truly keen instincts, knowing my intentions. Then, how does Young Master Diao plan to respond?"

Shu Shuipo was probing and seeking an opportunity.

The gaps between the ten fingers of his two hands hidden in his long sleeves were already filled with flying knives, poised to unleash at any moment!

But what surprised Shu Shuipo was that the other party extended five fingers.

"Five breaths..."

"What?" Shu Shuipo froze.

"After five breaths, I will take your life."

Fang Yu’s expression was neither sad nor happy; concerning Ding Hui’s safety, he had no intention... of holding back!

Upon hearing this, Shu Shuipo first felt bewildered, followed by absurdity, and then... he began to sneer, continually sneering!

He, the head of the Shu Family’s Dark Courtyard, is skilled in assassination and poisoning without fail!

Perhaps over these years, acting in the shadows, some people mistakenly thought that Shu Shuipo was only capable of such underhanded tactics.

However, this is incorrect.

Even facing the enemy directly, with the abilities of Shu Shuipo, with the strength of Shu Shuipo! It’s not that he can’t fight!!

Anger surged within!

His face gradually twisted!

Opening his mouth, a voice emerged from his throat.

"Arrogant! Foolish! Child..."

Pa!

Hand, what Shu Shuipo saw was a hand.

The hand that was just a hundred meters away suddenly appeared on his face in the blink of an eye.

Shu Shuipo couldn’t react, or rather, before he was struck, the only thing he could capture was... powder, white powder, large clouds of white powder that burst open where that young man was standing, followed by a hand, and darkness.

Boom!!!!

Strange force, arm force, power... Shu Shuipo couldn’t identify what force, what thing it was.

He only felt that... his mind was shaking! Violently shaking!

Five breaths?

Too many!

Far too many!

Shu Shuipo couldn’t last even a second, feeling dizzy and disoriented! Unable to distinguish up from down, left from right, east from west, just a strong sense of weightlessness, followed by...

Thud!!!!

The shaking of his entire body, from bones, to flesh, and even the internal organs, all shook intensely!

Shu Shuipo couldn’t tell what was happening, he just felt darkness, an ever-falling darkness!

When this darkness reached a certain limit, Shu Shuipo couldn’t even feel the darkness anymore, just void and emptiness.

...

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing [Shu Shuipo], gaining 8 Experience Points.]

[System Prompt: Detected [Shu Shuipo] as human, [Green Demon Blood] bloodline talent triggered.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for an increase of 8000 points in maximum Life Value.]

[System Prompt: Human race infighting, resentment gathered as Evil Qi, entangled with the body.]

[Life: 166616/166616.]

Sigh—

Fang Yu exhaled a breath, letting the Bone Armor on his body turn into scattered Bone Powder, drifting away with the wind.

It was a bit... overdone.

It was like using a bull knife to kill a chicken.

Physique points, 10,000 Blood Combat Power, and 8,000 Blood Combat Power, there’s a qualitative difference.

Fang Yu had already experienced this a few times back in Thunder City.

It was just that back then, he was the one with below 8,000 Blood Combat Power.

And now, it’s just the roles reversed, that’s all.

You should know, conventional Martial Artists don’t have his kind of Blood Volume. Without special protective measures, they can’t take hits.

After experiencing the slaughter outside Da Liang City, Fang Yu’s Blood Volume had been enhanced to a certain degree, but the Evil Qi had become hard to suppress.

Finally having gotten some rest within Da Liang City, absorbing and soothing the Evil Qi, only for an unseeing fool to come knocking.

That could only lead to... a dead end!

Fang Yu looked coldly towards the back, where two figures were rapidly racing towards this direction from afar!

Other things can be tolerated, but endangering Ding Hui is crossing Fang Yu’s bottom line!

"Husband has quite the temper today, how do you think this outfit suits me?"

Ding Hui’s untimely voice rang out, she had finished counting the important supplies and started examining the silk garments sent by the Nanyuan Family.

"Looks good."

Fang Yu replied without turning his head.

At the same time, he extended his right index finger and slowly cut a wound in the palm of his left hand.

Cold blood slowly seeped out from the wound in the palm.

As he looked at the two figures suddenly descending from the roof and rushing towards him without a word, Fang Yu whispered.

"Ice Blood... Burst!!!"

Boom!!!

A loud noise resounded from Fang Yu’s courtyard! Echoing throughout the entire courtyard!!
