Chapter 466: Foresight Found (10/10, Autumn Subscription)

The moment his thoughts became clear.

Fang Yue immediately felt the road ahead brighten.

Since he himself was being dragged down by the curse 【Wu Yu】 to the point of collapse, then just find someone to protect him — wouldn't that work!

"Sheepskin paper, help me foresee what I'm about to do next…"

Before Fang Yue could finish speaking, the words on the sheepskin paper had already surfaced.

【Can't do it, too sleepy… I must continue sleeping.】

【When I wake again, I'll be even more beautiful!】

Fang Yue:???

What's the damn use of you being beautiful!

"Wait! At least help me foresee the outcome of this one first!"

【Seven days from now, I died.】

How perfunctory?!!

Fang Yue was done.

Over here, because of the sheepskin paper's sudden seven-day death foresight, he'd forgotten to use other questions for foresight.

As a result, the sheepskin paper couldn't hold on any longer.

This thing! After overdrawing its power, it can't even wake once every few days, and now it can't even do consecutive foresights.

And she still wants to eat 【Gold Stone】 — if she really ate it, after using up her power, she'd probably have to sleep a whole year before waking!

After several failed attempts to call the sheepskin paper, Fang Yue could only sigh and helplessly think of a solution himself.

Fortunately, there was still time — the death foreseen seven days from now still had time to be buffered.

He still remembered that night when Gu Yue Cun was wiped out — the sheepskin paper had also foreseen his death, yet here he stood, perfectly fine.

Though the situation back then was, admittedly, a matter of nine deaths and one life.

Suppressing his thoughts, he looked out the window — at some point, it had already dawned outside.

He washed up and stepped out of his room.

Fang Yue froze on the spot.

There, standing at his door, was a fellow with bloodshot eyes and dark circles under them.

"Black Crow?"

"Ah! Ye Baiyi, you've finally come out. Captain Wu told me to tell you — Lord Han is back."

Huh?!

Fang Yue's heart leaped with joy. He was just worrying about his seven-day death problem — if Lord Han helped analyze it, he should be able to find a way to live.

"Where? Where is Lord Han?"

"Right at the door, chatting with Captain Wu."

In fact, Lord Han had only just returned, and someone had notified Fang Yue immediately.

But Captain Wu, afraid of disturbing Fang Yue's cultivation, hadn't let anyone enter the room. Instead, he'd arranged Black Crow to wait at the door until Fang Yue finished cultivating on his own and stepped out, then deliver the news.

As for worrying Black Crow might run — that simply didn't exist.

Black Crow's strength was actually not that great — even Captain Huo of Mo Cun back then could steadily suppress him by a margin.

With such strength, trying to escape from Captain Wu's hands was simply a fantasy.

He leaped straight down from the second floor, his feet landing solidly on the dining table reserved for Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, startling the sleeping Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu into tumbling to the floor.

Fang Yue had already arrived outside the inn like a gust of wind.

Sure enough, in the courtyard he immediately spotted Captain Wu and, after a long absence, Lord Han in his black mist form.

"Lord Han…"

The moment Fang Yue opened his mouth, his voice suddenly stopped, his pupils contracting sharply, his entire mind going blank with a sudden buzz!

Because the scene before him left him stunned, dumbfounded.

Just as he had opened his mouth to greet them, he saw Captain Wu raise his hand and punch Lord Han's black-mist head — black, white, and red splattered out from the black mist all at once, and it collapsed to the ground in one go!

That's right! The head!!

Lord Han's only remaining head — that sole head!!

Coming back to his senses, raging fury erupted from his heart in an instant.

"Capi. tain. Wu!!"

The ground exploded with a boom, and flames erupted violently across Fang Yue's entire body!

"Captain Ye…"

Captain Wu turned and saw Fang Yue charging over in fury, clearly stunned for a moment, instinctively raising his hand to block.

But the next instant, the raging flames swallowed him whole.

Amid the searing heat, his skin split open and charred — and worse still, the Fire Blade condensed by Fang Yue's Ningtai Ring had already swung down toward his head.

"Why did you kill Lord Han!!"

The Fire Blade cleaved down, empowered by the eight-layered Fiery Heart Method — the temperature terrifyingly high, the might terrifyingly fierce.

The mere flames rushing toward him were almost more than Captain Wu could withstand!

His pupils contracted sharply, only now realizing that Fang Yue's strength had actually reached such a level — far, far beyond his normal self!

If Captain Wu were still the captain of Mo Cun from back then, he would absolutely be no match for Fang Yue — under that blade, he'd either die or suffer Heavy Injury.

But…

Hum!!

Golden threads faintly lit up in his eyes, and Captain Wu — who had been unable to dodge in time — suddenly exploded in speed, narrowly avoiding that near-certain lethal slash by a hair's breadth.

"Captain Ye! Listen to me! He's not Lord Han!"

"You've never seen Lord Han, so how do you know he's not! Didn't I tell you, Lord Han only has a head left! Why, why!!"

Fang Yue's whole body was trembling; he was truly furious.

Such a melodramatic thing had actually happened right before his eyes.

This Captain Wu had clearly beaten Lord Han's brains out — what was there left to say now!

"Wait! Calm down, Captain Ye, look carefully!"

Look carefully?

Fang Yue's chest heaving, he looked down at Lord Han on the ground.

Instantly, he froze.

Because... Lord Han actually had a body??

The black mist of the dark fog cloak had already begun to fade away with the death of its wearer.

Revealing the true appearance of the person inside.

The head had been smashed by Captain Wu until it was pulped like a watermelon dropped on the ground, but to Fang Yue, who was familiar with Lord Han, one glance was enough to tell that the shattered head was not Lord Han's.

Combined with the fact that this person still had a body, it explained everything...

But this fellow's mist-form black robe, and the fact that he had specifically sought out their inn...

Fang Yue gradually calmed down, and the flames on his body dispersed.

"Sorry... I lost my head." Fang Yue went over and took out the healing medicine he had just obtained yesterday — one only issued to those promoted to White-Robed Green Guard — and gave it to Captain Wu to take.

Captain Wu didn't refuse either; he knew this was Fang Yue's way of apologizing.

After taking the medicine, he was momentarily stunned, because its effect was astonishingly good — better than anything on the market, better than any healing medicine he had ever seen in Mo Cun.

Good stuff!

He could now feel Fang Yue's sincerity completely.

"What's going on!? What's going on?!"

"Ye Ge?! Captain Wu, who are you... damn! Where did this extra corpse come from?"

"Weird? Is it weird?"

Fang Yue's fierce roar just now, and the sounds of intense fighting, had alarmed everyone in the inn, and they came pouring out one after another.

And when they saw the scene before their eyes, they all froze at once.

Lying on the ground, the person whose head was smashed like watermelon pulp, wearing the mist-form black robe Lord Han had worn when he went out.

For a moment, everyone's faces uniformly turned ugly and grim.

A stranger wearing Lord Han's clothes, dead at the hands of Captain Ye or Captain Wu — what this implied was simply too much.
