Assassins from the Lu and Yi families attempted to strike Fang Yu, but their attacks were deflected by a barrage of blood shards. Though they initially seemed to have broken through, the assassins were unexpectedly frozen solid by Fang Yu's immense cold power. As Fang Yu approached the ice-encased assassins, one managed to break free and immediately begged for mercy.

"My lord, please show mercy! I am..."

The Yi clan assassin spoke, but his hands and feet were anything but clean.

Something hidden in his sleeve slipped into his palm, just as the assassin from the Lu family next door shattered the frozen statue, causing a commotion...

Swish!!

He suddenly made his move!

"Now is the time!"

An assassin understands assassins.

To be sent on such an important mission by the family, they’ve long discarded thoughts of life and death. They seek only one thing: the completion of the mission!

So, the assassin from the Lu family never doubted for a moment that the kneeling Yi clan assassin would surrender.

And the timing of this strike was executed to perfection.

Yet, the Yi clan assassin still failed.

The Lu family assassin, who had just escaped the frozen statue, couldn’t see clearly.

He was even so excited that he shouted out loud, his expression encouraging a higher chance of success, only to witness his counterpart turn into a headless frozen corpse.

A slap.

To be more precise, it was a slap with a bloody wound.

The young man... just slapped his counterpart’s head.

The extreme cold instantly turned his counterpart into a frozen statue, forever freezing the action of the ambush on the Divine Doctor.

Then came the slap that shattered the frozen statue into countless pieces, hit his counterpart’s head.

Boom!!

The frozen statue of his counterpart’s head shattered to the ground, leaving behind a headless frozen statue body at the scene.

The Lu family assassin, still alive, saw this happen in full.

His brain started buzzing, struggling to comprehend what had just occurred.

A Wood Realm Expert, a martial arts skill honed over decades or even centuries, the result of countless resources spent by the family, a mainstay of the clan, was simply... struck by the young man like a mosquito, a slap that smashed his head into pieces??

Upon realizing...

Cold!

The chill in his heart, along with the chill in his body, surged almost simultaneously.

"Wait!"

Just as he was about to speak, his body had already been slapped by that bleeding hand.

An instant.

In just an instant, his body froze into the form of a frozen statue once more!

But this time, he had no chance of freeing himself from this restraint.

Because the death-inducing slap was already coming toward his forehead!

Boom!!!

The frozen statue shattered, leaving a ground of ice shards.

[System Prompt: Congratulations player, maximum Life Value increased by 8000 points.]

[System Prompt: The Human Race internal strife, resentment gathering as Evil Qi, surrounding the body.]

[Life: 182616/182616.]

Blood Volume is rising steadily.

In correspondence, rich Evil Qi emanated from Fang Yu, the Dragon Soul Seal as the Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling couldn’t suppress it temporarily.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, if there were any demons lurking in the city, they would have already sensed the Evil Qi he was emitting!

As for demons outside the city, whether they sensed this overflow of Evil Qi is another matter.

The Dragon Soul Seal worked hard to absorb the Evil Qi, but the overflow of Evil Qi had inevitably been detected.

Originally, outside the city, Fang Yu’s Evil Qi was already nearing saturation, and now after slaying three high-quality male humans, breaking the limit was only fitting.

But concerning Ding Hui’s safety, dealing with the Evil Qi naturally had to be set aside for now.

Additionally... 180,000 Blood Volume!

Fang Yu secretly clenched his fist, recalling the past in Tianyuan Town when an 80,000 blood Great Demon was enough to intimidate him into avoiding rash actions.

But now, he had 180,000 Blood Volume! More demonic than demons!

Moreover, Fang Yu had no intention of stopping!

The Capital, full of hidden talents, along the journey to the Capital, he must find ways to enhance his strength as much as possible.

180,000 Blood Volume is just the present, his goal is far beyond this.

Having the Dragon Soul Seal, such a powerful Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, as long as the balance of Evil Qi is controlled well, Blood Volume can steadily increase!

Although his Blood Volume does not directly equate to strength, it offers immense tolerance, giving him enough confidence to hold his ground against powerful figures.

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

As Fang Yu thought of this, crisp applause suddenly rang out from the side.

"Instructor Diao, excellent skills!"

Turning around, there appeared the current master of the Nanyuan family, Nanyuan Xian!

"Nanyuan Xian sir, it’s an undeserved compliment."

Fang Yu calmly bowed, considered it a greeting.

His expression remained largely unchanged, as he had long discovered this fellow’s presence.

Nanyuan Xian arrived after the first flying knife assassin died, attracted by the loud sound of the flying knife breaking the air.

But upon arriving, he didn’t seem inclined to lend a helping hand, instead choosing to observe until the battle concluded, then applauding, implying his intentions very clearly.

"Shu Shuipo, Yi Shantu, Lu Zhou, these three are top experts in the Shu Family, Yi Family, and Lu Family, didn’t expect them to perish at Instructor Diao’s hands today."

Nanyuan Xian sighed a bit, as he approached the only intact corpse in the scene, Shu Shuipo’s body, slightly searching, extracting a blood-soaked small wooden board, broken into two parts.

"Wenjing Micro Wood, when broken, Wenjing Micro Wood of similar material, weight, and size within a certain range will simultaneously break and emit slight vibrations. Based on the vibrations, the general direction of the broken wood can be determined. It is a unique... special wood material of the Shu Family."

While speaking, Nanyuan Xian pointed at the two ice block corpses on the ground.

"These two should also carry this wood. Besides this special effect, this wood has considerable medicinal value, something which I believe Divine Doctor Ding would understand more than I do."

Upon hearing her name, Ding Hui lifted her head and glanced this way.

"I seem to have heard of it, remember this wood has a limited range, scarce production, expensive price, merely used for temporary emergency communication, only has a slight advantage in timeliness. Darling, later gather this wood for me, let me examine it once I finish looking at the clothes."

"No need, no need! Hahaha! If Divine Doctor Ding is interested, our Nanyuan family is cultivating a Wenjing Micro Wood, though only a bit over a meter high and not fully developed, if Divine Doctor Ding is interested, you may have it as a gift!"

Nanyuan Xian said with a smile, tossing the broken Wenjing Micro Wood toward Fang Yu, already treating Fang Yu and Ding Hui as his own.

Why not treat them as family!

The assassins sent by the other three families are all lying dead here, all killed by Fang Yu.

With such actions confirmed, the other three families would no longer recruit Fang Yu.

The lingering concerns have finally disappeared completely.

As for the Foolish Underworld, still competitive, Nanyuan Xian simply didn’t regard them.

"The Nanyuan family had assassins, startling the guests instead. Rest assured, I will dispatch patrols to strengthen surveillance, such incidents will never happen again!"

Nanyuan Xian promised seriously, and then with the excuse of not disturbing their rest, he took his leave.

Actually, he hurried to inspect the situation with Nanyuan Shiran, was puzzled as to how, with Nanyuan Shiran leading the team outside, someone still managed to reach the core area of the Nanyuan Mansion!

This was Nanyuan Shiran’s negligence, and also the negligence of the hospital protection team!

After Nanyuan Xian departed, Fang Yu turned back and shrugged at Ding Hui.

"Looks like we’ve been schemed against again."

"Whether or not it’s a scheme doesn’t matter, our ambitions lie elsewhere, no amount of intrigue here matters." Ding Hui picked up another piece of clothing, examining it closely.

It seemed lately Ding Hui also started to care about the intricacies of attire.

Fang Yu ruffled his hair, remembering how Ding Hui used to be quite careless, not caring whether clothes looked good or not, just if they were wearable.

No, even now it’s like this! Just suddenly became slightly interested in good-looking clothes too.

"Darling, the technique you used just now, I don’t recall seeing you use it before."

As Fang Yu walked in, handing over the broken Wenjing Micro Wood to Ding Hui, she suddenly remarked.
