Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1626 - 729: Counter and Counter (2)

Arrogant beyond measure, the strongest Guest Elder of the Xiao Family, the esteemed Hei Wu Jue... actually had his arm cut off by this man?!

"..."

The other convoys keenly sensed something was wrong as well, silently backing away some distance, trying to wash their hands of this.

On the scene it was clearly many people besieging one, yet no one dared make a rash move, no one dared act recklessly.

It even felt like... Fang Yu alone was suppressing everyone present!

Fang Yu completely pinned down Qian Guxing, preventing her from moving at all.

Then he pointed his sword toward the cripple below and spoke coldly.

"Now, I’ll give you three more breaths to explain clearly—Qian Guxing, why exactly did she end up like this!"

There was no shortage of smart people present.

In an instant, they understood what Fang Yu meant.

After three breaths, if there was still no explanation...

Hei Wu Jue... would die.

The Xiao Family were the first to react. The elder bearing the name of Xiao Shanggong took two steps forward under the protection of several guards... but under Fang Yu’s sidelong glance, he abruptly halted.

As if sensing something, or perhaps his years of experience, before Xiao Shanggong could even open his mouth, he had already gripped the wrists of the two beside him, and with an apologetic look quietly led them back.

[Xiao Shanggong: 5132/5132.]

This move left everyone around stunned.

Because when Xiao Shanggong retreated, he took the entire Xiao Family with him!

The encirclement that had just formed instantly dissolved by more than half.

Guest Elder, Guest Elder—sounds nice, some "honored seat at the table," but in reality it’s just a hired relationship.

When the host family has trouble, the Guest Elder sells his life for them, that’s still barely reasonable.

But the other way around, it all depends on the relationship.

With the Xiao Family shrinking back, no one around stepped up anymore; they were all just watching from the sidelines.

Seeing this, Hei Wu Jue let out three miserable laughs and glared at Fang Yu with murderous rage.

"Kill me, and you won’t live long either! Lord Hei Ningyu will avenge me. No matter if you flee to the ends of the earth, you’ll die without a burial site!!"

The moment Hei Wu Jue’s words fell, an uproar immediately rose around the scene.

Like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, everyone present raised their voices.

"What?! Hei Ningyu... is he talking about the heir to the Black Rain Sword, Hei Ningyu?!"

"Hei Ningyu who kills people like mowing grass, Hei Ningyu whose body of Evil Qi suppresses demons and fiends??"

"This guy actually belongs to her?!"

"Can’t provoke her! Hei Ningyu absolutely cannot be provoked! Who doesn’t know Hei Ningyu guards her own people with her life? Kill someone of hers and every single one of us here will be dragged into it!"

"This woman proves her Dao through slaughter, a living God of Killing. Seven years ago she already, over a trivial matter, killed all the way from the Qingyue Gang to the Qingyue Sect! Tens of thousands up and down, all butchered clean in a single night, not leaving a single living soul! She’s still listed on the Heavenly Rank of the Da Xia Dynasty’s wanted decrees even now!"

"Thirteen she killed demons, fifteen she slaughtered Spirits, at eighteen she murdered her master, wiping out the entire Fengyu Sect that taught and raised her! Ever since, it’s like she awakened a hobby—anyone who provokes her, along with their relatives and friends, she exterminates the entire clan, without a single exception!"

"That’s not all! Baihua Valley, you know Baihua Valley, right? Rumor has it back then, the entire valley’s tens of thousands of people were all wiped out by Hei Ningyu alone! She’s practically a fiend-god walking the world!"

"I heard the heir to the Black Rain Sword originally wasn’t her! She simply took a liking to this sword, killed the previous heir of the Black Rain Sword down to the last one, then found a grandmaster to reforge it, only then making it completely her Divine Weapon!"

"Take something recent—the Mountain Guardian Golden Buddha that Xishan Escort Agency was escorting. Just because Black Rain Sword glanced at it twice and took a liking to it, she wiped out the entire escort team of Xishan Escort Agency. Now everyone in Xishan Escort Agency is terrified, because judging from Black Rain Sword’s usual style, their escort agency will likely have to bury every spear master for this, not leaving a single survivor! On the spot, she persuaded over a thousand people in Xishan Escort Agency to leave the escort agency and resign their posts as spear masters!"

One incident after another was brought up, even leaving Fang Yu a bit shocked, his heart filled with disbelief.

Where did this kind of vicious lunatic come from.

If the killing went on like this, wouldn’t the Da Xia Dynasty step in at all?

And Baihua Valley... hadn’t that valley already been annihilated many years ago? Doesn’t that mean this old woman is at least several decades old, maybe even over a hundred—an out-and-out Old Witch from the Demon Capital...

Fang Yu looked again at Qian Guxing’s current state; saying it was done by an Old Witch didn’t seem off at all.

Just as Fang Yu was thinking, he suddenly noticed the light around him dimming.

He lifted his head to look around, only to see everyone had surrounded him once again.

And not only had the Xiao Family who just shrank back come forward again, Daoist Gu Zhi with a bitter smile, as well as the other convoys, had all encircled Fang Yu tightly.

At this moment, Fang Yu truly had become the target of everyone’s arrows!

Fang Yu frowned.

"What do you all think you’re doing?"

Everyone exchanged glances. Daoist Gu Zhi, relying on the bit of small rapport he had with Fang Yu, stepped forward.

"Little friend, where it’s possible to spare someone, spare them. Let him off once—good for you, good for us as well."

Everyone nodded slightly. They didn’t want to wade into this muddy water either, but Hei Ningyu’s name was too big, too terrifying. It’s not fear of ten thousand, but fear of that one mishap!

If Hei Wu Jue doesn’t die, at most Hei Ningyu will go trouble Fang Yu, killing Fang Yu’s relatives and friends.

But if Hei Wu Jue dies, then for everyone present, things become uncertain.

"Look at how scared you all are. Putting aside whether this guy actually has anything to do with Hei Ningyu, even if he does, if she really could slaughter endlessly like the rumors say, the Da Xia Dynasty should’ve been emptied out long ago. How could she possibly have such ability to see a person and then slaughter their entire family? And all these years no one’s punished her? I don’t buy it!"

After pausing, Fang Yu continued, "Besides, it’s not like I absolutely must take his life. I only need him to tell me why he turned my friend into this state, and how to restore my friend to her original form. Naturally, I’ll consider sparing his life."

Fang Yu was lying.

Even if he didn’t kill him right now, once he found an opportunity, Fang Yu would still take Hei Wu Jue’s life!

But Fang Yu’s words did leave quite a few people looking thoughtful.

The rumored Hei Ningyu was indeed vicious, vicious to the point everyone feared her.

Yet acting like that, she would inevitably provoke powerhouses. If Hei Ningyu had been able to resolve crisis after crisis for so many years, then the Da Xia Dynasty might as well change its name altogether...

"I heard that after the Baihua Valley incident, Hei Ningyu did lay low for a while. It’s only recently that she surfaced again."

"Rumors might be exaggerated, but we still don’t want to take that risk. Lord, please, for the sake of everyone’s face, spare the Xiao Family’s Guest Elder this little life."

"Yeah, yeah, let him go and we won’t hold anything against you."

"What’s wrong with leaving him alive? This is Sui Chong Pass—if real trouble is stirred up, you won’t even need Hei Ningyu; you won’t be able to leave right now!"

One by one, they’re even starting to denounce me?

Fang Yu’s gaze chilled, his grip on his sword tightening.

Daoist Gu Zhi clearly sensed something and was the first to move, striking at Fang Yu with a palm!

"He’s going to force-kill that man!"

As Daoist Gu Zhi attacked, his mouth was still shouting. Fang Yu tilted his head aside to dodge, then kicked him square in the chest.

Bang!!

The Spirit Shield trembled, and the Shadow was kicked flying like a cannonball, crashing through the crowd like bowling pins, opening a path!

The crowd broke into chaos, while Fang Yu had already closed the distance, thrusting his sword down toward Hei Wu Jue on the ground!

But just then, a voice suddenly rang out from behind...

"What are you doing? Don’t come over!"

"Master! Master! They’re trying to take Madam hostage!"

"Hold the line, all of you hold the line!!"

What...?

Just a name was enough to scare you useless trash into making a move on Ding Hui??

You really are... all sick of living!!!

His expression sank.

His movement stalled.

A sword edge suddenly swept up from the ground!

Fang Yu raised his hand to block!

Clang!!

After the crisp ringing clash of blades, Fang Yu, having retreated two steps, saw Hei Wu Jue on the ground holding his sword stance with one hand, a hideous, cold grin on his face.

At the same time, two shouts of "Heh!" and "Ha!" sounded behind him!

It was precisely the Martial Artists who had previously sent the Stone Snake Demon flying!

"Heh!"

"Ha!!"

The two punches came crashing in, like massive force striking a bell, slamming heavily into Fang Yu’s back!

Bang, bang!

Two dull thuds rang out. Blows that could send even a Stone Snake Demon flying far, when they landed on Fang Yu, didn’t move him an inch!
