"Young Master, someone is coming!" Gu Yi focused on the direction they were approaching from, spotting many black dots rapidly closing in from afar.
"How many people?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"About 720 Hidden Elementers and 2,450 superpower users."
"So many?" Fang Jueyu was a bit puzzled, "Would the Ladinic Family really go through the trouble of training those useless superpower users?"
While the title of superpower user sounded grand, Gu Yi had already crushed more than a few of them. To various forces and governments, superpower users were precious assets, but to Fang Jueyu, they were just subjects for garbage classification.
"Nothing to be surprised about," Zhuang Ying said, "The Ladinic Family controls most of Europe's governments. Many top officials depend on the Ladinic Family's financial support to rise to power. In reality, they've already become puppets. Getting these countries' superpower users to mobilize is just a matter of a word from the Ladinic Family."
"Sigh, what a pity. After today, I bet those countries will be crying. They probably haven't realized what kind of enemy they're facing yet," Fang Jueyu said with a tone full of pity.
The physical prowess of superpower users and Hidden Elementers far exceeded that of ordinary humans. In no time, thousands of them surrounded Fang Jueyu and his companions, making for a rather spectacular scene.
"Young Master, who would've thought? We meet again so soon!" Reyno and Evela stepped to the front, with hundreds of the Ladinic Family's Hidden Elementers standing behind them.
"Do you think I'm as stupid as you are?" Fang Jueyu said mercilessly, "Only a fool wouldn't see you two plotting something."
"Young Master, since you've figured it out, why are you the fish in our barrel now?" Evela asked casually. Three against three thousand, with two of them being ordinary people without any powers—this battle seemed to hold no suspense.
"No, no, no, do you think it's your three thousand people surrounding us?" Fang Jueyu shook his head, "Actually, it's the three of us surrounding your three thousand people!"
"Evela, why waste words with him?" Reyno felt uneasy, as if Fang Jueyu's fearless demeanor was too self-assured.
"Young Master, we apologize. Although your ancestors helped our Ladinic Family immensely, our debt to the Fang Family has long been repaid," Reyno said.
"If you would grant our family freedom, we wouldn't wish to trouble you. But the Fang Family is just too powerful, so we must insist you stay here forever. Blame it on your ancestors. When you see them, be sure to send our regards!"
"Tsk!" Fang Jueyu snorted. If his ancestors showed up, Reyno would probably be scared half to death. Did he really think his ancestors were no longer around? Who knows on which planet they're currently indulging themselves.
"Beep beep beep!" Just at this incredibly tense moment, Wang Cong suddenly called Fang Jueyu.
"Damn it, why is this guy calling me now?" Fang Jueyu grumbled, "Gu Yi, hold them off for me while I take this call!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Gu Yi stood in front of Fang Jueyu and company, a red aura igniting around him. From below his feet, red fissures spread out in all directions, as if energy was brewing beneath the ground.
"Hey Wang Cong, what's up? I'm kind of busy here!" Fang Jueyu said while observing the scene around him. The massive force of three thousand was seemingly intimidated by Gu Yi alone, none daring to advance.
"Old Fang! We won! We defeated Team STT 3-0!" Wang Cong's exhilarated voice boomed from Fang Jueyu's phone, followed by cheers like tidal waves, the fans rooting for Team ZZ.
"Oh!" Fang Jueyu said with utter calm. With Xiao Yi's plan, beating STT was a piece of cake—such a decisive victory didn't surprise him in the least.
"What are you up to? We have a celebration dinner tonight, are you coming or not?" Wang Cong asked.
"Me?" Fang Jueyu glanced around, "I'm in a bit of a pickle right now, got a whole battalion after me, surrounded by three thousand people!"
"Three thousand people? Are you in Sparta?" Wang Cong laughed, "So are you coming or not, give me a definite answer!"
"I'll come after I deal with these three thousand Spartan warriors!" Fang Jueyu raised his phone and snapped a picture of the current scene.
"What is he up to?" Reyno and the others were almost dumbfounded watching this. In their imagination, shouldn't Fang Jueyu be trembling and begging for mercy?
Surrounded by three thousand superpower users and Hidden Elementers, not only did he leisurely make a phone call, he actually had the time to take a photo.
They'd heard that these people in Huaxia really liked something called "friends circle," where many would take a pic of anything from car accidents to surgeries, even funerals, just to post online. Has it gone to this extent?
"What are you waiting for? All together now!" Reyno was trembling with rage, feeling absolutely disrespected by Fang Jueyu.
"Oh crap, going for real?" Fang Jueyu immediately retreated behind Gu Yi.
"Ha!" Gu Yi roared, the cracks beneath his feet spewing endless blood-red light, dyeing the sky with a foreboding aura.
The blood-red light sliced through the three thousand like a scythe of Death. Those two thousand superpower users were as frail as ants before Gu Yi's energy, unable to withstand even a single slash. If it pierced through them, their bodies vanished in a blaze of scarlet flames.
As for the Hidden Elementers, crimson flames burned at their wounds, leaving all on the ground wailing within moments, only Reyno and Evela remaining unscathed.
"Host, Gu Yi is for real now!" Xiao Yi said.
"My god, is the gap between Hidden Elementers and Source Energy Users really this vast?" Fang Jueyu was awestruck, as Gu Yi seemed like a heavenly demon, a formidable force from the heavens.
"Hidden Elementers merely unleash human potential, whereas Source Energy Users channel the omnipresent force called Cosmic Source Energy. Even with their numbers, they can't harm Gu Yi!"
Gu Yi stood in the frontline with cold detachment, his chest steady and calm as if he hadn't done a thing.
"Impossible!" Fear engulfed Reyno and Evela, as two thousand superpower users lay without a trace, and over seven hundred Hidden Elementers rendered powerless. Is this the terrifying might of the Fang Family?
"Scared already?" Fang Jueyu found it somewhat disappointing, "You had the gall to ambush me here; I expected you to have stronger nerves!"
"Let me tell you, the Potential Guiding Technique your family acquired is just the most basic and low-level kind," Fang Jueyu pointed to Gu Yi, "He, he's trained in the second layer of the Guiding Technique—get acquainted with a Source Energy User!"
