Chapter 668: Urban Combat Gang (10/10, Autumn Subscription)

Come?

The bandit chief group, whose plans for a peaceful retirement had already been shattered, now heard Fang Yue's blatant provocation and roared loudly as they charged forward.

The first to rush forward were the twin blade masters, Lao Si and Lao Wu.

As they had demonstrated before with their exquisite Blade Technique, both struck simultaneously with the Drawcut, their movements so swift they crossed paths with Fang Yue in perfect synchronization.

But this time…

Ding! Ding!

Two blocking sounds rang out almost in perfect sync.

Blocked?!

Both turned back in shock, only to see Fang Yue already surrounded by the three bandit chiefs.

The clashing of weapons rang continuously, and Fang Yue could be seen constantly swallowing pills.

Both felt a sinking dread—they realized their little trick had been seen through by Fang Yue.

Their twin Drawcut had succeeded initially only because of the advantage of surprise.

Combined with their movement technique, their sudden appearance and abrupt strike left opponents no time to react—that was how they landed the hit.

But if the opponent remained alert to them, reserving attention for their movements, the flaw in this technique would be obvious—it was too straightforward!

That's right! The Drawcut, pushed to its absolute maximum speed, channels all its power into velocity, so at the moment of attack, both the angle and range are fixed in advance.

The instant the stance is adopted and the blade drawn, an opponent can already raise their weapon to block—with perfect prediction, they can block it with 100% accuracy!

This technique was designed solely for ambush—a devastating killing move—never intended for anyone to survive it, so no follow-up maneuvers were ever considered.

But now… because they'd used it repeatedly alongside their three older brothers, Fang Yue had completely deciphered its flaw.

The two blade masters' faces darkened— their strongest move had been fully exposed, and their other techniques would have little effect.

Their three older brothers were already struggling to overwhelm Fang Yue; now with the two of them rendered even less effective, their chances of victory diminished further.

At this moment, both men grew a little calmer.

The Lord Rat was dead; seeking revenge for him now was clearly a momentary surge of emotion—once cooled, no one would think such a thing.

Their retirement could only wait until the Phoenix Organization sent new personnel to decide how to proceed.

But the Lord Rat died here… every single one of them, without exception, had failed in their duty to protect him; just avoiding being blacklisted and purged by the Phoenix Organization was already lucky—how could they dare hope for a reward of retirement from the martial world?

And this, too, was one reason why everyone was so furious.

When the Phoenix Organization blamed them, none of them would escape unscathed!

Only by bringing Ye Niu Niu's head could they possibly offset their crimes.

"What are you two standing there for? Hurry—sup—port—"

Suddenly, the third bandit chief among the three older brothers let out a sharp cry.

But strangely, as the cry continued, his voice suddenly grew distorted, stretched out.

The two immediately moved to assist, but instantly felt their thoughts racing while their bodies lagged half a step behind, as if moving in slow motion.

It wasn't truly slow motion—just in the fast-paced rhythm of a human-level battlefield, this speed was no different from turtle pace.

Hum!

The blade sang.

"C…a…t…c…h…"

Amid the cry of alarm, the black blade pierced straight through the third bandit chief's chest, precisely stabbing his heart.

Goo… thud! Goo-thud! Goo-thud-goo-thud!

The flow of time snapped back to normal.

The heart, wounded, throbbed violently! Pulses!

The third bandit chief stared wide-eyed, disbelievingly at Fang Yue.

He… had been struck?

He had desperately tried to dodge; his mind had already formed the thought—but his body moved half a second too slow!

That half-second was enough for Ye Niu Niu to pierce his heart!

If someone nearby had offered even a little aid, he would never have been struck in a vital spot!

"Lao San!"

"Brother San?!"

Everyone shouted in shock.

At that moment, the twin blade masters slashed toward Fang Yue, while the first and second bandit chiefs both drew their swords and attacked Fang Yue.

Only the third bandit chief raised his head, stunned and terrified, staring at Fang Yue.

Fang Yue, ignoring all other attacks, grinned.

"Wait…"

Ssshh—

The blade slashed horizontally.

Blood sprayed out; the third bandit chief's chest, centered on his heart, was split open in a massive gash.

Blood continuously gushed from the third bandit chief's mouth as his body tilted and collapsed.

Fang Yue, having already withdrawn his blade, seemed to have fully anticipated the twin blade masters' moves—he precisely blocked their attacks, and as he softly whispered "Still World," he barely shifted his body to evade the strikes from the first and second bandit chiefs.

Time resumed its normal flow—but the third bandit chief now lay motionless on the ground, blood continuously pouring from his mouth, his consciousness fading; in his final vision, he saw countless colorful little hands wriggling up from the ground, surging toward him like a tidal wave.

Yet he no longer cared how his corpse would be handled by the strange forces—or rather… he had already lost consciousness.

The third bandit chief was dead!

"Brother San... actually..."

"Ye Niu Niu!"

Amidst the roaring shouts, the four attackers intensified their assault.

Yet the Dual Blade Master seemed to possess only this single move—drawing and slashing—and other techniques had very limited effect on Fang Yue.

Rounding up and down, it was essentially a 2-on-1.

When three mid-level cultivators had surrounded him before, Fang Yue had held his ground; now that the Rat Constellation was gone, he no longer had to chase after him, and could freely use his remaining 【Trick Value】 as combat power—how could he possibly fear a two-on-one?

This time, he didn't even need to activate Still World to buy himself an opening—he simply relied on raw strength to crush the four, driving them into steady retreat.

One slash plunged into darkness; when it reappeared, the head of one Dual Blade Master had been severed by Fang Yue, immediately reducing their number by one.

"I declare—you three—are already surrounded by me!"

Grinning fiercely, Fang Yue grew more ferocious with every strike.

Meanwhile, the remaining three opponents grew increasingly terrified with each passing moment.

Fang Yue, like a war god, was holding all four of them down by himself… no, now it was only three!

This feeling was exactly as Fang Yue had said—it was him, alone, surrounding the three of them, not the three of them surrounding him to prevent his escape!

How could this be?!

As their terror grew, their combat power subtly weakened; without their former edge, Fang Yue seized the opportunity to overwhelm them, firmly securing victory.

Another slash severed the second bandit leader's arm, further diminishing their strength.

Soon after, the other Dual Blade Master was also slain by Fang Yue; his corpse joined the twin brothers, swallowed whole by 【Zhangzui Xiaoshou】.

At this point, 【Zhangzui Xiaoshou】 no longer even bothered to conceal itself—dozens of tiny hands formed a circle, like spectators at a bullfight, watching Fang Yue battle the last two.
