"But in my eyes," Fang Yi said indifferently, his cold eyes flashing, "not only can you not obtain his share, but you won’t be able to obtain yours either, because you won’t have a life to claim it."
The man from the darkened kingdom sneered, "I really don’t know what makes you so confident to say such things, just a bodyguard, yet you feel proud for killing this guy?"
Fang Yi replied calmly, "As I said, you won’t leave here alive either."
A fierce smile crept across the rough face of Cross from the darkened kingdom, "I really would like to see how you plan to keep me here."
"Then come and try," Fang Yi challenged.
Cross chuckled coldly, his smile sinister as he took out a pair of black leather gloves and put them on his hands.
"I don’t want your blood staining my hands. Time to die."
Cross cocked his head and spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth onto the ground.
In the next moment, Cross’s eyes burst with a murderous light. He charged Fang Yi like a wild bull, his large, imposing frame aiming a punch at him.
However... Fang Yi easily dodged the punch.
Cross then lifted his leg to sweep at Fang Yi, the tips of his shoes revealing sharp blades.
Even with Binnan on his back, Fang Yi’s movements weren’t slowed in the least. On the contrary, the faster the battle raged, the faster Fang Yi moved.
The True Qi within Fang Yi surged, filling his entire body with strength. He threw a punch, striking Cross’s sweeping leg and sending the latter’s shin careening off course.
Then like a wild beast, undeterred by Cross’s towering and formidable stature, Fang Yi charged head-on, sending Cross stumbling backward into a pine tree.
"You wanted to kill me, right? Come on!" Fang Yi, growing fiercer in battle, issued such a provocation.
"Damn it! Just a mere bodyguard! I’ve killed so many, I can’t believe I can’t kill you!" Cross’s face twisted savagely as he roared and charged at Fang Yi once again.
Cross swung his fist, this time with five sharp needles protruding from his black gloves. If one didn’t look closely and clashed head-on with his fist, they would be in big trouble.
This was one of Cross’s ultimate moves, his most treacherous trick. He believed that this time, Fang Yi would fall into his trap.
However, Fang Yi had no intention of exchanging blows. Cross thought Fang Yi hadn’t noticed, but Fang Yi knew there must be a reason Cross wore those black gloves and chose to fight in a different manner instead.
Eight Extremes Break!
Fang Yi deftly maneuvered behind Cross, even carrying Shen Binnan on his back didn’t slow him down.
Fang Yi brought his palms together like a blade and chopped at Cross’s neck, eliciting a sharp cry of agony from him.
With no other choice, Cross swung his hand back in retaliation, but Fang Yi easily dodged it.
Eight Extremes Break, Breaking Finger!
Fang Yi’s hand shape changed, from palm to fingers, his two fingers pressing together, striking at the spine below Cross’s nape.
Cross let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig and toppled forward.
At that moment, Cross’s fighting capabilities had been destroyed by Fang Yi. With his spine broken, any thought of fighting again was impossible.
Fang Yi pulled an arrow from the neck of a dead man from Cangyun, walked over, and stepped on Cross’s face with his foot.
"Who the hell are you! You can’t just be a bodyguard!!" It was only then that Cross suddenly realized.
Could a bodyguard really be this formidable?
"It doesn’t matter if I tell you. I am Abandoned Dragon," said Fang Yi, a sinister smile creeping across his lips.
"Abandoned Dragon! You’re... Abandoned Dragon?! The number one ranked Abandoned Dragon on the bounty list!" Fear flooded Cross’s eyes, and his will to fight completely crumbled at that moment.
"I guess... it’s time for you to depart," Fang Yi said coldly, no longer interested in wasting words.
Cross had the idea of escaping, but knowing that he was facing Abandoned Dragon, could he really get away?
An arrow pierced through Cross’s neck, and just like the man from Cangyun before him, he didn’t even manage to let out a grunt—his eyes widened with reluctance, and then life left him for good.
Having killed Cross, Fang Yi didn’t run anymore. He set down Shen Binnan who had been on his back, propped her against a tree, and checked her injuries.
Fortunately, there were only a few minor wounds on her body. The only serious injury was a cut on her forehead that was bleeding and needed immediate attention to stop the blood flow.
Fang Yi tore off a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped it around Shen Binnan’s head, very gently and cautiously handling the entire process.
Meanwhile, Ren San arrived.
"Fang Yi!" The light of hatred shone in Ren San’s eyes, his heart seared by vengeance, longing to tear Fang Yi into pieces.
Ren San couldn’t forget the sight of his younger brother’s death—that was his own flesh and blood, slain with a dagger driven into his forehead, dead just like that!
This vengeance had to be claimed to quell the hatred burning in his heart!
Fang Yi slowly stood up and turned to face Ren San, saying, "I killed your brother."
Ren San felt an acute wrench in his heart and, grinding his teeth, he said, "I will use your blood, your flesh, to appease my brother’s spirit in heaven!"
"I am sorry, but you won’t have that opportunity," Fang Yi replied indifferently, "because... I will send you to join him in the netherworld."
At that moment, Fang Yi made his move.
Ren San roared as well, not holding back at all, charging at Fang Yi with all his might.
"I am Human Level sixth tier, and you are merely Human Level fourth tier–you are doomed!!!" Ren San shouted, trying to disturb Fang Yi’s focus even in this moment.
"I was able to defeat you once; I can defeat you a second time," Fang Yi said coldly.
Fang Yi summoned his True Qi to its peak, withdrawing it crazily from within his Dantian. He spared no effort as he needed to resolve Ren San before he and Shen Binnan could leave.
And besides... Binnan wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer.
Fang Yi was calm, his face indifferent, but the murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable.
Ren San bellowed like a mad beast, crazed, furious, wanting to capture the enemy who killed his brother and then to torment him fiercely, making him experience the gradual taste of death.
With a low shout, Ren San, who had come out of the Wudang Sect, used the Boxing Technique which wasn’t surprising.
Tai Chi was flexible and elusive, shifting like shadows. In the blink of an eye, Fang Yi seemed to be at a disadvantage.
But this didn’t last long. Fang Yi treaded the steps taught by the old man, changing his stance not to win with speed but to wear down Ren San’s True Qi first.
There was a gap between their realms, a chasm indeed.
Even though Ren San used Tai Chi, each punch was utterly forceful. This showed that Ren San was punching with anger and wasn’t considerate about depleting his Inner Qi!
As time ticked by, the two had been clashing for several breaths’ time, and Ren San’s face slowly turned red with strain.
A sharp gleam exploded in Fang Yi’s eyes, and the next instant, he threw a punch that pierced through the air.
The punch was mighty, stirring the very wind. No matter if the opponent was Human Level sixth or any other tier, Fang Yi’s punch was the Eight Extremes Break, with the intention of Mountain Breaking!
One punch to break a thousand moves!
Ren San’s body was flung back, crashing into a pine tree, then falling to the ground, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
