Chapter 1010: Target: Feng Wang! (Begging for Monthly Tickets)

"Captain Ye, this is—?"

"Cultivating."

"Cultivating? At a time like this?"

Captain Wu looked at Fang Yue in surprise, and the next moment, he felt the aura on Fang Yue's body surging rapidly.

An aura that was already terrifyingly strong had multiplied several times over, becoming unfathomably deep!

This guy, this guy really is…

Captain Wu's face showed a bitter smile. He had only reached his current strength by relying on the power of his bloodline, and to be honest, he didn't quite acknowledge that strength himself, feeling it was an external thing, not his own true power.

But Captain Ye was different. That strength was genuinely cultivated through his own effort. This rate of improvement, this speed of power soaring — calling him a monster wouldn't be an exaggeration.

He still remembered when he first met Captain Ye in Mo Cun, that guy seemed to be about the same level as himself, yet now…

Indeed, people cannot all be lumped together. Some monsters truly leave others in the dust, making one feel like a frog at the bottom of a well, never knowing what genius truly means.

At this moment, Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the two people guarding beside him, and a warm feeling flashed through his heart.

When he saw the broken wall outside, thunder rumbling again, and the towering Spirit Tree already revealed, Fang Yue then composed his expression and looked at the two with a solemn face.

No words were needed. The three exchanged a glance, then went up the stairs together, charging toward the top of Qing Gao Lou.

Passing through the great door at the top and looking out, Fang Yue's pupils immediately contracted slightly.

The scene before him presented a bizarre situation.

The Second Prince of the Wuyu Tribe was actually standing back-to-back with Ox Seat, as if fighting side by side, staring tensely at a red whirlwind circling around them… No! That wasn't a red whirlwind, that was… a girl! She was simply moving so fast she almost became a crimson wind, nearly impossible to catch!

A human martial artist could actually be this…

Fang Yue's thoughts abruptly paused, because he saw that the girl's two legs were actually shaped like claws — such a strange form made it hard to say whether she was purely human.

Outside the crimson whirlwind lay a ground of grotesque Wuyu Tribe corpse remnants, along with the shattered remains of all four tribes' Elders, and a sky full of Wuyu Tribe grotesques flying about, not daring to approach the battlefield by even a fraction.

"Never thought I'd be forced to ally with a human…"

The Second Prince of the Wuyu Tribe's hand was trembling. From those two humans, he actually felt a terrifying pressure he had only ever felt from his great elder brother!

Who on earth are these two guys?!

"Hmph! If not for needing your power to kill Feng Wang and Huang Hou, do you think I'd be willing to fight side by side with you… Hm?!"

Just as Ox Seat said this, his gaze pierced through the crimson whirlwind and saw Fang Yue and the others who had just arrived at the rooftop, and his face immediately showed delight.

"Yese Liming, come quickly and help me! They are Feng Wang and Huang Hou. Kill them, and the Spirit Tree will destroy itself — everything will be over!"

Ox Seat didn't care about the fate of Jingcheng. Since Huang Er's death, his only goal was to kill Feng Wang and Huang Hou and avenge Huang Er! So lies came to him as easily as turning his hand.

However…

"The moment we die, the Spirit Tree destroys itself? How could you come to such a childish—"

Boom!!

Violent black qi erupted outward as if in slow motion.

Still World!

Everything around seemed to slow down.

Behind him, the Black Wheel rose. The black qi surged madly into the Heaven Sword, and the Empty Ice Sword Canon gathered every sword technique, fusing black qi and internal force, pushing its might to its peak.

Carrying such a peak strike, Fang Yue almost instantaneously flashed in front of Feng Wang!

Hum!!

The instant the sword came out, a black curtain surged toward Feng Wang like a frenzy, completely devouring him!

From within the black curtain, a figure seemed to weave out as if shadows were crossing.

The flow of time returned to normal at this moment!

"Feng Wang?!"

Huang Hou, who had been circling Ox Seat and the Second Prince of the Wuyu Tribe over there, immediately cried out in shock.

"Such violent power?!"

Ox Seat and the Second Prince widened their eyes.

"Captain Ye!"

"Ye Ge!!"

Tail and Captain Wu cried out in shock.

However, when the black mist cleared…

Fang Yue stood just outside the black mist — that figure that had woven out was unmistakably him.

Yet Fang Yue's hand was trembling.

Cold sweat slid down his cheek.

And behind Fang Yue, Feng Wang, who had lost an index finger, gradually revealed an expression of confusion and astonishment. Fresh blood slowly overflowed from the wound of his severed index finger.

After a few seconds of confusion, Feng Wang slowly turned around, looked at Fang Yue who had his back to him with a trembling hand, and said in a teasing tone.

"What a terrifying sword strike."

Fang Yue extended his left hand to steady his trembling right hand, then turned to look at Feng Wang.

"You really dare say that, old monster!"

Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded by the current situation.

Tail and Captain Wu cried out joyfully.

"Excellent! Ye Ge came out on top!"

"Captain Ye suppressed him!!"

Ox Seat and the Second Prince of the Wuyu Tribe stared at Fang Yue in disbelief.

"This guy… as expected, I didn't misjudge him back then!" Ox Seat's heart thrilled with excitement.

"Among human martial artists, besides those two, there's actually such a monster?! Wait, isn't this guy that corpse?! No wonder the three prince-brothers who went in pursuit have sent no word since — looks like their fate is already sealed." The Second Prince's heart churned with shock and suspicion.

Everyone was shocked and thrilled by Fang Yue's strike just now, and even the strange beings of the Black Rain Clan filling the sky were cheering him on.

The feeling was downright bizarre — being cheered on by the enemy.

However… everyone was celebrating far too soon.

Because the situation before was nothing like what they imagined.

That sword strike just now was basically Fang Yue's limit, yet when that sword slashed forward… he was blocked.

His full-powered sword strike was blocked by Feng Wang — with a single index finger of his right hand extended! Solidly, head-on, he took the full-powered strike!

Even Fang Yue's figure froze for that instant.

But Feng Wang seemed to sense something in the power Fang Yue had unleashed — some special existence he couldn't comprehend — and for a moment his attention wavered. Fang Yue's second burst of power severed the finger, and Fang Yue himself seized the chance to escape the calamity, narrowly avoiding an outright defeat on the spot.

But that was all it amounted to.

Through that sword strike just now, he had truly, tangibly felt the absolute gap in strength between them.

Between Rain-class and Rain-class, could the difference in strength really be this vast?!

Is this monster really Rain-class? Could he already be an immortal?

Fang Yue steadied his breathing, his mind racing as he thought through how to defeat Feng Wang.

No wonder the Second Prince of the Black Rain Clan joined forces with the Ox Seat — if such a terrifyingly powerful opponent appeared in the human camp, a temporary alliance wasn't unacceptable.

To outsiders, Fang Yue was now a being who could stand against Feng Wang.

But only Fang Yue himself knew that, right now, he was absolutely no match for Feng Wang!

The underground emperor of Qing Guo was indeed no simple matter!

"How dare you hurt my man — boy, you should die!"

While Fang Yue was thinking, a gust of blood-red wind suddenly rushed in from the side!
