Was it for the sake of Li Baizhen that you came?
Yu Wenwuji was taken aback.
But this muscular brute, he did not recognize at all.
That shouldnât be; he has always been sensitive to intelligence; anyone with a name and reputation, he had some understanding of.
But such a person, with such strength, somehow left no impression; could it be... a foreign Martial Artist?
Li Baizhenâs hired support?
As he was puzzling over this, he suddenly noticed something off about the personâs face.
"Disguised? Who in the world are you..."
Before he could finish, someone suddenly shouted from the crowd.
"Idiot! Told you not to be rash! Now that guy has set his sights on you! Forget about Yu Wenwuji, run for it!"
Who??
Yu Wenwuji glanced at the crowd with the corner of his eye but couldnât find who had spoken.
And the brute before him didnât seem to have any intention of letting him go.
Wu Xinbang by his side was so scared that he fell to the ground, utterly useless.
"Gang Leader!"
"The Gang Leader is in danger!"
Black Tiger Gang members were shouting around him, but they were too far away to help with this imminent danger.
Just as Yu Wenwuji was at his witâs end, his pupils suddenly shrank, and in a flash, he realized why someone in the crowd had shouted for the brute to run for his life.
He saw a middle-aged man walking step by step toward them, holding a dried corpse in one hand and a sword in the other!
It was... Lin Kuanglong!
"Let me go, or we escape together! Leave this to Li Baizhen! He wonât be in trouble!"
Yu Wenwuji bellowed furiously, while Fang Yu suddenly stared intently into the Blood Sphere as if he had seen something unbelievable. His grip loosened, and Yu Wenwuji tumbled out of his hands.
"Reset...?"
-500.
[Li Baizhen: 0/500.]
Fang Yu was dazed.
Just in that brief time, he was still pressing Yu Wenwuji for the method to cancel the Blood Sphere, yet Li Baizhenâs health bar had hit zero?
Dead...?
Li Baizhen is dead?
Fang Yuâs face slowly darkened. Yu Wenwuji, now freed, was sneakily crawling backward, when suddenly a piercing scream came rapidly from behind.
Hisss!!
Something pierced him from behind, pinning him to the ground.
Looking back, it was a Longsword.
The Longsword through the chest, the pain nearly made it impossible to breathe.
The flame of life flickered, on the brink of extinguishing.
The violent movement caused the big wound in his chest to ache, and blood gushed out from his mouth in large quantities.
Yu Wenwuji, gasping violently, was like a candle in the wind, barely hanging on.
He looked toward the one who had drawn the sword, the Blood Sphere behind him, and Lin Kuanglong advancing step by step like the God of Killing.
Yu Wenwuji suddenly laughed, laughed out loud.
"Hahaha! Yu Wenwuji, to die at the hands of two masters like you, I can die a worthy death."
"I just didnât expect that my meticulous plan would capsize in the canal at the hands of this sturdy fellow."
"May I ask this brother to give me a name before I die so I have something to say when I get down there."
Yu Wenwuji was stalling.
He hadnât given up yet.
His trump card was right in front of him, ready to break free!
Luckily, the dense Blood Sphere, like an eggshell cracking, suddenly split apart, drawing the attention of the brute.
"Gang Leader!!"
Wu Xinbang cried as if his heart was broken, trying to pull out the Longsword, but he hadnât the strength.
Moreover, this was a risky move, any action from the brute, given Wu Xinbangâs strength, would likely result in instant death.
Yu Wenwuji knew this, yet Wu Xinbang still came to help.
"Wu Junshi..."
After all these years, the friendship was not in vain.
To have this friendship at the brink of death, that was enough.
Crack crack crack!
Suddenly, more and more cracks started to appear densely on the Blood Sphere.
And Fang Yu, frowning deeply, kept his gaze fixed on the Blood Sphere before him.
Because, something was weird.
Li Baizhenâs health bar had been reset.
But his health bar was still displayed.
Normally, once someone died, their health bar would disappear quickly.
Could there be... a glimmer of hope?
Fang Yu was somewhat anxious.
If Li Baizhen could still be saved, naturally he couldnât just stand by and watch.
As for Yu Wenwuji behind him?
Swish!
Fang Yu suddenly drew the Longsword out.
Hisss!!!
As blood spurted more than two meters high, scaring Wu Xinbang into screaming and causing Yu Wenwuji immense pain nearly to the point of fainting, Fang Yu expressionlessly swung his sword directly at Yu Wenwuji!
"My fate is sealed!"
Yu Wenwuji closed his eyes, his face showing despair.
In that instant, time seemed to slow down.
Fang Yuâs sword was fast.
To others, that is.
In reality, this Yuan body twenty sword techniques were not Fast Sword.
It was a swordsmanship that was balanced in offense and defense.
Although Fang Yu increased the speed of the strike by leveraging his physical condition,
It ultimately couldnât compare to the true Fast Sword techniques, so this strike was still slow.
This slowness introduced a variable.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a deafening sound of bursting came from behind.
Fang Yu didnât want to look back; he wanted to finish off Yu Wenwuji before dealing with the situation behind him, but he hadnât anticipated...
Rumble!!!
A terrifying sound wave like a raging sea surged toward him, making Fang Yuâs scalp tingle and his body issuing constant danger warnings.
A pause and a turn, with the paired swords guarding in front.
Fang Yuâs pupils suddenly shrank.
He saw a surge of blood, three to five meters high, almost upon him!
Amidst the blood wave, it seemed like he could still see two health bars, displayed within!
[Li Baizhen: 0/500.]
[Li Xunxue: 1000/1000.]
How could this be?!
For a moment, shocked.
Gushhhh!
The blood wave, like a monster with a gaping maw, instantly swallowed him and Yu Wenwuji et al.
Without a doubt, this blood wave was the transformation of the Blood Sphere after bursting!
Freed from the Blood Sphereâs bondage, the gushing thick blood water surged out like the tide of a blood sea, fierce and heavy!
