Chapter 509: Bone Flute (7/10, Autumn Subscription)

Confidence surged up. Ma Zuo kicked away Captain Wu, who had only half a head left, and grinned savagely: "My bad, just a casual move — seems I killed your friend."

Fang Yue was stunned.

His brain still couldn't quite process it.

Captain Wu... was dead!

Just like that — in an instant, killed by Ma Zuo!

When he came back to his senses, Fang Yue realized he was trembling, his whole body trembling.

"Ma! Zuo!!"

His body moved faster than his thoughts.

He launched himself like a projectile, closing the distance to Ma Zuo almost instantly.

Before Ma Zuo's face could change and he could mount any defense, Fang Yue's fist had already slammed into his face.

Bang!

The Innate Qi Shield shattered on the spot. The fist smashed into Ma Zuo's face, shattering his teeth, and kept driving in, partially fracturing his cheekbone, before knocking his whole body to the ground.

Boom!!

The ground split apart with a roar, and Fang Yue's iron fist was only just about to begin its second round.

"Burst!!"

"Burst!!"

Two voices rang out almost simultaneously, as if Fang Yue had predicted Ma Zuo's prediction.

But in raw power, there was still a gap. Fang Yue was blasted away by the Aura, flung over ten meters.

But that was all it was — the moment he stopped, Fang Yue charged back up like a madman.

Yet what was even more frantic was the uncanny!

The three Blood-Grade uncanny that weren't quite dead yet intercepted Fang Yue mid-path, attacking wildly, dragging the enraged Fang Yue to a halt in an instant.

Only then did Ma Zuo seize the chance to retreat explosively, his hands trembling as he popped pills.

These were already his last pills. The accumulated pill poison in his body no longer allowed him to take more — at such a high level of pill poison, no matter how many pills he swallowed, they would have no effect. Meanwhile, the accumulated poison would frantically erode his constitution, sap his cultivation, or even cause him to drop dead on the spot — all of it possible.

Pill poison had never been something to underestimate.

He had to admit, at this moment, retreat sprouted in Ma Zuo's heart.

But before he could act on it, he watched the three Blood-Grade uncanny collapse one after another, while Fang Yue, drenched in black blood like a monster that had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, fixed him with cold eyes, staring at him unblinkingly as he walked toward him step by step.

That towering murderous aura rolled in, blotting out the sky, suffocating.

At this moment, Ma Zuo felt fear toward Fang Yue for the first time!

This kid who had clearly just broken through to the Xiantian Realm was like an unkillable cockroach — healing again and again, fighting again and again, and... growing stronger with every fight!

On the other hand, he was already a spent arrow at the end of its flight. Unable to pop pills, unleashing Aura and Innate Qi Shield one after another like before was nearly impossible for him now.

These two abilities had always required massive internal energy to use. He could sustain such continuous combat only because his total internal energy was high and his pills were top quality.

But now, there was no way back to his peak combat power.

Ma Zuo was about to look for a chance to escape, when his pupils suddenly contracted and his whole body froze.

"Im... pos... sible!!"

He stared blankly ahead, disbelief written all over his face.

Fang Yue turned back in confusion, and his pupils instantly contracted, wild joy breaking across his face.

"Captain Wu!?"

That's right — it was unmistakably Captain Wu, bathed in golden light, his whole body flowing with golden threads like tattoos, slowly climbing to his feet from the ground.

And the half of his head that Ma Zuo had blasted open was being repaired, woven and wrapped back together by the golden threads.

Captain Wu seemed a little dazed, a little lost.

When he saw Fang Yue running over joyfully, he barely managed to come back to himself.

"What... happened to me?"

"Captain Wu, that's great! You came back! You're still alive!"

Fang Yue grabbed his shoulders, trembling with excitement.

Captain Wu had just died saving him, and Fang Yue had truly been consumed by rage, lost all reason.

Seeing Captain Wu alive now, he let out a huge sigh of relief.

After briefly explaining what happened, Captain Wu's face was full of bewilderment: "I... came back to life?"

He couldn't make heads or tails of what Fang Yue was saying. His memory stopped at Ma Zuo's fist caving in his head — and the next thing he knew, he was waking up like this.

The golden glow on his body had already faded completely and vanished. Shaking himself a little, Captain Wu more or less understood the situation.

Roar!!

Behind them, two newly arrived Blood-Grade uncanny had drawn close with their uncanny swarm.

Ahead, Ma Zuo seemed ready to flee at any moment.

After a moment's thought, Captain Wu said glumly: "That horse-mask guy, I can't beat him — leave him to you. The uncanny behind us, I'll hold them off!"

"Got it!"

With their division of labor clear, Captain Wu went to meet the two Blood-Grade uncanny. Although all of them were desperately trying to break past him to chase down Fang Yue, he held them off for the time being.

Seeing that Captain Wu could just barely handle the two Blood-Grade uncanny, Fang Yue set his mind at ease.

Sneering at Ma Zuo, whose forehead was beading with cold sweat — clearly he had a clear enough read on the current situation — Fang Yue said: "Now, it's time we settled the full score!"

The words had barely fallen when Fang Yue had already shot forward.

Ma Zuo's face changed and he retreated explosively, but Fang Yue caught up easily — his internal energy was no longer enough to support any movement arts!

Ma Zuo threw a panicked punch, but Fang Yue caught it, hoisted him over his shoulder, and slammed him into the ground. Fang Yue said coldly: "Burst!!"

That's right! Having Qi means I can do whatever I want! Blow up if I want, I'll blow up happily!

Boom!!

The blast wave exploded outward, sending Ma Zuo flying, landing him in the direction of the eerie one and Captain Wu.

At this point, the two sides had formed a pincer formation.

No matter which way Ma Zuo tried to flee, he would have to face Fang Yue or Captain Wu.

Ma Zuo at full strength could indeed easily take care of Captain Wu.

But as he was now, he was a spent force, not worth mentioning.

"I never thought... I'd be pushed to this point!"

"I thought I'd never have a chance to use it in this lifetime..."

Ma Zuo, lying on the ground, suddenly began muttering to himself.

Fang Yue's face changed, and he rushed over at once.

He immediately thought of Liao Guanjia, who had died at Ning Mansion.

Although he didn't know what Liao Guanjia had been about to do in the end, things were very abnormal now, and that Bone Shield was very abnormal!

If Ma Zuo had something similar...

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, he saw Ma Zuo ahead take out a Bone Flute.

But instead of blowing it, he aimed it at his own neck and violently thrust it through.

His face changing, Fang Yue burst forward with a surge of speed, whooshed right up to him in an instant, and kicked the Bone Flute flying.

But he used too much force and kicked the Bone Flute clean in half with one kick, shattering it into a pile of bone fragments and two small pieces at either end.

"Ugh... ugh!"

Ma Zuo's neck had been pierced through by the Bone Flute, blood spilling out; he convulsed, his body gradually growing cold, his breath slowly fading.

Fang Yue sliced off his head with one blade, and after looting the corpse, still uneasy, he immediately burned the body with White Flame, only then fully relaxing.
