Chapter 507: Securing the Victorious Position (5/10, Autumn Subscription)

Fang Yue was immersed in the fierce battle with his mind fully focused; he barely thought about it, only feeling that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Amid the towering flames of fire and the frenzied explosions, Ma Zuo's scorched-black body was sent flying backward.

Fang Yue only turned his head to glance back, thought for a second, and then figured out who the owner of the voice was.

"Miao Fa?!"

"Ye Ge, Lord Ma Zuo... you two, how did you two end up fighting?!"

Miao Fa, like a girl in the rain, wanted to shout at them to stop fighting—this wasn't street dance.

But very quickly, she thought of something even more serious.

"Right, right, that's right, run! Ye Ge, Lord Ma Zuo, let's run!"

Run?

Fang Yue, whose meridians throughout his body were ruptured and who was nearly out of strength, simply stood there, looking coldly at Miao Fa.

"The parchment!"

【Coming! Time Reversal!!】

The injuries caused by 【Blazing Fire Burst】 rapidly healed in the reverse flow of time.

Fang Yue calmly waited for his body to recover, observing everything at the same time.

Before being certain whether An Dong'er had been betrayed by Miao Fa, Fang Yue's attitude toward her remained unclear, but he absolutely would not easily believe her words—that was that.

What was unexpected was that beside Miao Fa, there was also a young girl being led along, her eyes blind, her hands and feet shackled with iron chains.

His pupils contracting, Fang Yue immediately recognized that young girl.

It was none other than... the blind girl from Deyun Cun, Ming!

Rage surged up from his heart in an instant.

"Ye Ge? Is... is it Brother Ye? Brother Ye from Gu Yue Cun?"

The girl Ming, hearing the conversation, burst into tears of excitement all at once.

She ran forward, but was tripped by the chains on her feet and fell to the ground, wailing loudly.

"Brother Ye, I'm Ming, Ming-meimei from Deyun Cun, save me, save me!!"

Fang Yue clenched his fists tight, his gaze at Miao Fa as if looking at a dead person.

"No, it's not what you think, Ye Ge, listen to me... Aiya! I'll untie her, untie her!"

Miao Fa's expression froze all at once; in her panic, she hurriedly took out the Cold Edge Dagger she had gotten from who-knows-where, and struck twice at the middle of Ming's iron shackles.

Clang!

Clang!

The wrist chains and ankle chains snapped apart at the sound.

"There, there, you're free, figure out how to escape on your own!"

Hearing Miao Fa's voice, the crying Ming was stunned for a moment.

She carefully felt the broken wrist and ankle chains, shook the half-chain still hanging from her wrist, and slowly turned her head toward Miao Fa.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

Miao Fa was nervously asking, when she saw Ming suddenly lower her head and make a bowing gesture.

"Thank you, Sister Miao Fa, for letting me go! Thank you, Sister Miao Fa!"

How truly naive!

Miao Fa was just about to wave her hand and tell her to leave quickly, when she saw Ming, who had just straightened up from her bow, raise her hand and lash a chain across her face.

With a loud smack, the chain whipped across her face; the pain sent Miao Fa crashing to the ground, clutching her face and screaming—a deep red mark already appearing on her face.

"What are you doi—"

"Thank you, Sister Miao Fa, for saving me!"

Smack!!

Another chain lash, viciously striking Miao Fa's face; and this time, Ming barely paused, wildly swinging the chain as if trying to beat Miao Fa to death. With every swing, Ming would shout "Thank you, Sister Miao Fa, for saving me!"

But after only a few strikes, her chain was seized by Miao Fa.

Compared to Miao Fa, who had already taken... 【Human Medicine】, an ordinary person like Ming was simply no match for her in terms of physical ability.

It was only because the incident had happened so suddenly and Miao Fa hadn't reacted in time that she had taken the hits one after another.

After grabbing Ming's two chains, Miao Fa, her face covered in red welts, furiously raised her dagger to kill Ming.

But the moment this thought arose, a bone-piercing chill suddenly appeared from behind her.

Under the gaze of that chill, Miao Fa felt she couldn't even move a single inch!

What is this... could this be... the legendary killing intent?

Miao Fa stiffly turned around, and indeed saw Fang Yue's ice-cold eyes.

"If you touch even a single hair on her again, I'll twist your head off and kick it around like a ball."

Eek?!

S-so, so scary!

Brother Ye is so scary!

Miao Fa gave a start, hurriedly forcing a smile and letting go: "Ye, Brother Ye, I didn't mean it like that!"

She tried to explain to Fang Yue, but after seeing his icy gaze, she vaguely understood that no one was going to listen this time.

Seeing Ming, now restored to action and emboldened by Fang Yue's protection, about to lash her again, Miao Fa gritted her teeth and hurriedly ran forward.

"Ye, Brother Ye, things aren't what you think, I don't have time to explain now, we have to run first, once it comes, it'll be too late for anything! Lord Ma Zuo too, run!"

"Run?"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously.

One figure was Fang Yue, who had already fully recovered. He let out a cold laugh and said,

"Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, I'd still wipe out the Horse Seat and destroy this Underground Stronghold!"

The other voice belonged to the Horse Seat, his body scorched black, clothes tattered, slowly crawling to his feet.

He glared with bulging eyes and roared furiously: "I, a堂堂 member of the Phoenix Organization's Twelve Seats, the strongest cadre organization under the Three-Eyed Gentleman's command—am supposed to flee because of some mere whelp?!"

Miaofa immediately grew anxious: "No, no, listen to me, behind us there's—"

ROAR!!

Before Miaofa could finish speaking, three enormous black shadows charged out from the darkness behind.

In the middle was a mass of rotten flesh, densely studded with all manner of corpses stuck into it, dissolving them like mud, while at the top of its head a fissure gaped open, a red stone within glittering brightly.

On the left was a mountain-chicken-shaped enormous grotesque, its forehead split by a seam just like the Three-Eyed Gentleman's, flickering with red light—it had evidently only just become a Blood-grade grotesque.

On the right was a wall, a wall that moved by slowly accumulating more human hands! All around the wall were human hands, as if imprisoned within it, struggling and waving, a dense carpet of hands that made one's scalp crawl. And on the inner side of the wall, red light also flickered, with a red stone embedded within.

This—shockingly—was three Blood-grade grotesques!

The sudden charge of the three great Blood-grade grotesques made everyone freeze for a moment.

"What was that sound?! Have the grotesques caught up?! Brother Ye! Brother Ye!"

Ming shouted twice, then suddenly seemed to realize something, shut his mouth at once, hurriedly groped his way to a corner, lay down on the ground, and pretended to be a corpse.

The others said nothing; only Miaofa was frantically running for his life.

Fang Yue and the Horse Seat watched each other warily while popping pills to recover, neither daring to act rashly.

The two of them were still in a state of evenly matched strength. Even with the help of the Blazing Fire Explosion, and protected by the Innate Qi Shield, the damage Fang Yue could inflict was limited. He could only break through the Innate Qi Shield, seize the chance, and land a full combo to beat the opponent dead or crippled—only then could the true advantage be secured!
