Chapter 219 Next, how do you want to die!? (2 words, 15th update)

This crude and arrogant roar.

Like a pebble thrown into a stagnant pool, it stirred ripples in Fang Qingyu's ears.

He paused, his hand gripping the charred wooden stick tightened slightly, and his brow furrowed unconsciously on his ordinary face covered in gray-white dust.

Grayish-white pebbles slid down the stick.

His face, covered in dust and clearly showing signs of fatigue and confusion, suddenly furrowed his brow.

brother?

He doesn't have many people in this world who can be called brothers, and besides, all of them are in Qingjian City and it's impossible for them to come to Yuan.

Lin Kang is the only one with the ability and even a slight chance of getting in.

But given Lin Kang's personality, even if he were to get in, he would never do anything under the guise of "Fang Qingyu's brother".

As for Wei Banmeng, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan, that's even more impossible.

Who would bother the disciples of a blessed land if they had nothing better to do?

That would be utterly suicide.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Beneath the feigned exhaustion and fear in Fang Qingyu's eyes, a cold scrutiny flashed across his face.

Regardless of who the other party is, if they are acting in his name and are in danger, it is worth his attention to investigate.

Of course, this is under the premise of absolute safety.

Fang Qingyu tilted his head very slightly, lowered his voice, and said into the miniature earpiece hidden under his collar, "There's a situation ahead, I'll go check it out."

The only response that came through the earpiece was Jiang Wei's calm and unwavering voice: "Mm."

Fang Qingyu immediately adjusted his posture, making his "exhaustion" even more convincing. He staggered even more as he cautiously made his way towards the direction from which the sound came, into the depths of that huge, jagged labyrinth of gray-white bone rocks.

After rounding several curved rocks resembling the ribs of a giant beast, the sounds of fierce fighting suddenly became clear.

"boom!"

"Clang!"

"Die to me!"

The explosions of colliding energy, the crisp sounds of weapons breaking, and angry roars mingled together.

Fang Qingyu concealed himself behind a huge bone rock.

My gaze pierced through the swirling gray-white dust, and I could see the scene ahead clearly.

Seven or eight martial artists, dressed in various styles and exuding a fierce aura, were forming a semi-encirclement, attacking a blood-soaked figure in the center.

The figure was in a terrible state, his tattered combat uniform torn in several places, revealing skin underneath that was also covered in wounds. Blood mixed with grayish-white bone powder almost turned him into a mud figure.

He was leaning against a relatively intact, huge rock of bone.

He was breathing heavily, each breath aggravating his wound and causing painful spasms.

However, those eyes, like those of a wounded lone wolf, burned with an indomitable madness and a near-indifferent will to die.

When Fang Qingyu's gaze fell on the face that was mostly covered in blood and dust.

Even when the outline of a face is still recognizable.
Fang Qingyu's pupils suddenly contracted!
Lin Kang?!
That face, those resolute features, those eyes now filled with exhaustion and madness.
It was clearly Lin Kang from Qingjian City, who fought alongside him and was both his mentor and friend!
Fang Qingyu's heart skipped a beat for a moment.

How can it be? !
How did Lin Kang end up here? And in such a miserable state?
The immense impact almost made Fang Qingyu rush out immediately, but when he glanced at the title "Lin Kang," he hesitated.
Fang Qingyu's lips suddenly curled into a slight smile as he whispered into his earpiece.

"The prey has come to us."

far away.

Lin Kang coughed a few times and spat out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood.

He wiped his mouth hard with his bloodied arm, his eyes, filled with a death wish and madness, fixed on the bald, burly man who had the strongest aura among the attackers.

His voice was hoarse, yet carried a chilling calmness:

"Ha, come again if you dare!"

This fearless attitude, combined with his current aura of being at the peak of the "Transcendent Realm" yet covered in wounds, is extremely impactful.

The bald, burly man's eyes flickered sinisterly a few times.

He seemed somewhat wary of Lin Kang's words, "Fang Qingyu is my brother," and his current desperate posture.

But the provocative remark by "Lin Kang" is...

This instantly ignited the anger of a hot-tempered, scarred man behind the bald giant.

"Damn it! Still talking tough even when you're about to die! Do you think I'm easily scared?" The scarred man roared, a door-sized alloy machete in his hand flashing an unstable red light. "Fang Qingyu? Forget whether he's your brother or not! Even if he's really here, I'll chop you to pieces and feed you to my ghost today! In this godforsaken place, who would know if I killed you?!"

"Do it! Kill him! The source fragments are ours!"

Another tall, thin man, his eyes gleaming with greed, chimed in with a shrill voice.

The last trace of hesitation in the bald, burly man's eyes was completely consumed by greed and murderous intent.

He grinned maliciously and waved his hand sharply: "Go! Don't give him a chance to breathe! Chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"

At the command of the bald giant, seven or eight thugs, like hyenas that have smelled blood, unleashed their Xuan Realm aura and launched various attacks with fierce whooshing sounds as they pounced on "Lin Kang," who was leaning against the bone rock and seemed to be on the verge of collapse!

The blade flashed like a bolt of lightning, and the fists roared like a fierce wind!

The killing intent instantly reached its peak!
It looked like "Lin Kang" was about to be completely overwhelmed by this surging attack!

It was at this critical moment that...
boom! ! !
A deep, muffled roar, like the beating of the earth's heart, suddenly exploded beside "Lin Kang"!
An indescribable wave of scorching heat, mixed with violent electrical charges, swept out like an invisible tsunami with unstoppable force!

The two thugs at the front didn't even get a chance to scream.

His body felt as if it had been hit head-on by a high-speed train, and he was instantly sent flying backward, spitting out blood. His bones were already broken in mid-air!

The group following behind seemed to have crashed into an invisible, burning steel wall, and their momentum was abruptly halted!
The violent shockwave, carrying scorching air and fine purple arcs of electricity, slammed into them, pushing them backward, causing their blood and qi to surge and their protective energy to vibrate violently!
"What the hell?!"

"Who?!"

The bald, burly man roared in terror, forcibly steadying himself, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the side of "Lin Kang".

Amidst the billowing dust and heatwave, a figure appeared beside "Lin Kang" as if by some unknown ghost.

The figure was also dressed in tattered "clothes" covered in gray and white dust.

Although he was rather thin, he stood there and gave people a sense of solemnity as majestic as a mountain!
When the heatwave and sandstorm subsided slightly, revealing a face that was also covered in dust, yet remarkably young.
"Fang Fang Qingyu?!"

The bald, burly man, like a rooster being choked, had his eyes almost popping out of their sockets, and screamed incoherently!

The voice was filled with utter horror and disbelief!
The few surviving thugs behind him were even more terrified, gasping in unison as if they had seen a ghost. The color drained from their faces instantly, and their eyes were filled with boundless fear!

This face!
This face, which has become almost legendary in the outer strongholds of "Abyss"!

This is the face of that evil star who fought against a second-tier chosen one and escaped unscathed, triggering divine punishment to clear the field!

He's actually here?!
And right next to this "Lin Kang" who claims to be his brother?!

The massive impact left the group of desperados' minds blank, as if they had been frozen in place by a spell, their very thoughts of escape temporarily frozen.

Fang Qingyu ignored the group of terrified fodder.

He turned to the side, revealing his entire broad back to "Lin Kang" behind him without any defense. His gaze, carrying just the right amount of "concern" and "gratitude," looked at the blood-stained face filled with "astonishment," and asked in a deep voice:

"Captain Lin? What are you doing here? When did you get into 'Abyss'?"

His tone was somewhat urgent, as if he was genuinely worried about the safety of his "brother".

The astonishment on Lin Kang's face at this moment was incredibly real, even mixed with a hint of ecstatic joy at surviving a disaster.

He was breathing heavily, looking at Fang Qingyu with a complicated expression, and spoke in a hoarse voice, as if he had used up all his strength:
"It came in about a week ago through the Song Dusu family's channels. *cough*"

"The Su family?" Fang Qingyu raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly, as if pondering the veracity of this information, then nodded, his tone reassuring, "Okay, I understand. You rest first, leave this to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Qingyu suddenly turned around!
Instead of looking at "Lin Kang," he turned his calm yet imposing gaze, like a cold blade, to the group of terrified thugs opposite him.

The turning motion was natural and fluid, carrying the air of a strong person taking it for granted.

By completely exposing his back to his "brothers," he effectively locked the enemy into his field of vision.

Perfect posture!
The perfect trust trap!
At the very moment Fang Qingyu turned around!

Behind him, Lin Kang, who had just been on the verge of death with eyes full of "gratitude" and "dependence," had all his emotions recede like the tide, instantly turning into a stagnant, cold pool and a cruel sense of prey caught in a trap!
opportunity!

This was the decisive moment he had been waiting for!

Fang Qingyu's attention was completely drawn to that group of small fry, leaving his back wide open and completely unprepared!

Lin Kang's blood-stained left hand moved without warning, like a venomous snake that had been lying in wait for a long time!

Its speed surpasses even afterimages!
The fingertips were covered by a layer of dark substance as thin as a cicada's wing, yet it emitted a chilling spatial cutting fluctuation, as if it were formed from the sharpest fragments of space!

The target was Fang Qingyu's most vulnerable spot at the back of his neck, the vital point connecting his head and spine!
This attack was completely silent, with no energy fluctuations leaking out!
That was a true game-winning shot!

It is a deadly sneak attack by spatial ability users who pursue ultimate concealment and speed!
The timing, angle, and force were all extremely cunning and ruthless!

It was as if, when he raised his hand, the deep black of his fingertips had already touched the skin on the back of Fang Qingyu's neck!
There was no sound of wind, no energy fluctuations, only an absolute sense of "nothingness" where everything was dead and the space itself was torn apart!

This is a killer move that utilizes spatial abilities!

From an angle completely invisible to Fang Qingyu, Lin Kang's lips curled up in an extremely subtle, cold, and confident arc.

Got it!
No matter if you are invincible or a martial arts master, if you are caught off guard and take this spatial slicing attack head-on, the only outcome will be your head being separated from your body!
however!
Just as that fingertip, imbued with spatial power and capable of easily severing divine weapons, was about to pierce the skin on the back of Fang Qingyu's neck at the critical moment...
A sudden change occurred!

A small, fair, and even somewhat chubby hand emerged without warning from the shadow of the huge bone rock behind You Shi!

The little hand moved with lightning speed, and in its palm was a stone the size of an infant's fist, grayish-white in color, with strange spiral patterns covering its surface.

Fixing stone!
Holding the fixing stone in her small hand, with a precision and composure completely out of character for her age, she gently and silently imprinted it on You Shi's back!
"Om-!"

An invisible yet extremely heavy and eerie fluctuation suddenly erupted from the Fixing Stone.

Like billions of invisible threads, they instantly wrapped around and seeped into the limbs and bones of the eroded creature!
Lin Kang's cold smugness froze instantly!

He felt an irresistible force, as if it came from the very fabric of space itself, forcefully acting on his body, even on the spatial ability he was about to unleash.
It was like a high-speed, precision gear being instantly jammed by the most deadly foreign object.

Action! Mind! Strength!
Everything froze for an extremely brief moment.

Although this pause lasts only a tiny moment, or even less!

But for someone of Fang Qingyu's level...

enough.

At the very instant that Lin Kang's movements were forcibly slowed down by the fixing stone, "Swoosh—!!!"

A sharp, piercing sound, like a red-hot iron being plunged into ice water, suddenly exploded from the point where You Shi's fingertips touched Fang Qingyu's nape!

The scene of flying blood and shattered heads that I had imagined did not occur!
Beneath Fang Qingyu's seemingly unguarded nape, fine, cold dragon scales shimmering with a dark golden luster instantly appeared and covered him, as if they were living creatures.

Those deep, viscous, jet-black fragments, imbued with the power to cut through space, pierced fiercely into the dragon scales!
Gold and iron clash!

Sparks fly!

The toughness of those dark gold dragon scales was beyond imagination.

This technique can only leave a few fine white marks on the surface of the scales, producing a teeth-grinding friction sound.

An overwhelming force of recoil, mixed with the high-temperature dragon flames flowing on the scales, surged back like a volcanic eruption, crashing back down along Lin Kang's fingertips!

"Uh!"

Lin Kang let out a muffled groan, his arm trembled violently, and the dark substance covering his fingertips was instantly shaken off and burned, making a "sizzling" sound. A piercing burning pain even came from his fingertips!

The extreme astonishment in his eyes was instantly replaced by a deeper horror!

And just then!
Fang Qingyu made a move!
In the instant that the echo of metal clashing between fingertips and dragon scales had not yet faded!
Using the force of the recoil, Fang Qingyu twisted his waist at a terrifying speed that defied common sense.

They completely ignored the risk of their necks being broken.

Covered in dark gold dragon scales, with bulging muscles, his right arm, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed down on Lin Kang's chest from behind, who was briefly imprisoned by the image-fixing stone's force field!
On the edge of the fist, dark golden tribulation fire and raging purple lightning intertwined and compressed wildly!

The aura of destruction instantly reached its peak!

Lin Kang's pupils suddenly contracted!
He saw Fang Qingyu's face turn around!

On that face, which was as cold and hard as ice, a fierce and mocking smile was now spreading across the corner of his mouth!
Deep within those molten gold eyes burned not anger, nor astonishment, but the joy of a hunter finally waiting for his prey to step into the trap.

"Surprised, Captain Lin?"

Fang Qingyu's voice, carrying a chilling killing intent, clearly reached Lin Kang's ears!

The wind of the punch has arrived!

"boom--!!!"

The violent fist slammed into Lin Kang's arms, which were crossed in front of his chest to block!
A force powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks erupted with a deafening roar!

"Crack!"

A clear cracking sound rang out!

"puff!"

Lin Kang was struck head-on by a battering sledgehammer, his body flying backward uncontrollably, spitting out blood as he crashed heavily into the massive bone rock behind him!

The already cracked bone rock could not withstand this enormous force and exploded with a roar!
Dust and debris filled the air!

The figure of "Lin Kang" was lost in the crowd.

"Cough cough. Cough cough cough."

A violent coughing sound came from the smoke and dust.

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.

Lin Kang knelt on one knee amidst a pile of rubble and ruins.

His left arm was twisted at an odd angle, clearly indicating a fracture.

His body was covered in even more blood, but his face showed shock, horror, and feigned excitement.
All of Lin Kang's emotions receded like the tide.

All that remained was an extreme coldness and a strange calm that came from having met one's match, or rather, from being seen through.

He slowly raised his head, wiped away the blood that kept spilling from the corner of his mouth, and fixed his gaze on Fang Qingyu through the dust.

Those eyes no longer bore any trace of "Lin Kang," only a deep, indifferent gaze, like that of an ancient well.

He spoke, his voice hoarse and low, yet unusually calm:

"you know?"

He didn't ask what he knew, but Fang Qingyu understood instantly.

Fang Qingyu slowly withdrew his fist and stood still.

The cold smile vanished from that hard face, replaced by a calm, still expression.

He calmly looked at "Lin Kang" in the ruins and slowly shook his head:

"Don't you know that too?"

Although it's unclear how the other person became Lin Kang, they must know that he's been fishing with Jiang Wei recently.

And they also recognized their own identities.

That's why they staged a scene here, and among Fang Qingyu's friends, only Lin Kang was the one who could enter Yuan.

But the other side could never have predicted that.
Fang Qingyu could see his title.

An eerie silence fell between the two.

The air seemed to freeze.

Only the heavy breathing of the few desperados in the distance, and the extreme fear that almost overflowed from their eyes, as if they were witnessing the arrival of gods and demons.

They couldn't understand the riddles the two monsters were exchanging.

But they understood!

The legendary Fang Qingyu.
It really isn't human?!

The dark gold dragon scales that instantly covered his entire body! The terrifying aura that was like a ferocious beast awakening!
Is this guy a martial arts master?!
This is clearly a dragon-shaped ferocious god that crawled out of some mythology!

run!
Must run!
The bald, burly man and his companions exchanged glances, all seeing the same thought in each other's eyes.

Staying here is a sure way to die!
With these two monsters locked in a standoff, this is their only chance to escape!

Despite their fear, the group strained their bodies like taut springs, pushing off with their feet as they desperately fled into the thick fog surrounding the Bone Rock Zone!

however!
Just as they took a step!
"call--!"

A wall of fire, viscous like lava, burning with dark golden flames.

Without warning, it rose up with a roar between them and the surrounding thick fog.

The wall of fire was several meters high, burning fiercely and emitting terrifyingly high temperatures that could incinerate everything.

This completely sealed off the only exit from this bone rock clearing.

The scorching heat hit them, instantly singeing the hairs on their faces!
despair!

A chilling despair instantly gripped their hearts!
They turned their heads stiffly.

Fang Qingyu, who looked like a demon god, still had his back to them, his gaze fixed on "Lin Kang" in the ruins.

It was as if what casually blocked their escape route was just a trivial matter.

Fang Qingyu didn't even glance at those people.

His gaze pierced through the swirling dust and landed on "Lin Kang," who was slowly rising from the ruins.

The opponent's twisted left arm was rapidly regenerating in a strange writhing motion, the broken bones emitting a teeth-grinding grinding sound, covered by shadows, and reconnecting.

The face that belonged to "Lin Kang" rippled like water, and the features began to blur, distort, and recombine.
Ultimately, it settled on a face that I had seen in the previous diagrams.

No facial features!

There was only a smooth, flat surface, like inferior ceramic.

At the very center of this "face" is a deeply engraved symbol that appears to be flowing with filthy pus and blood, twisted and constantly changing shape!

The stubbornness that belonged to "Lin Kang" in him completely disappeared.

Instead, there was a chilling, ethereal aura, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

【Title: Ghost Erosion - Reincarnation】!
That blood-red title, in Fang Qingyu's vision, was like the most conspicuous death declaration!
You Shi straightened up and stretched his newly recovered arm, as if the punch that had just been enough to kill an ordinary second-tier fighter was just a tickle.

He looked at Fang Qingyu.

"Hehehehe."

A low laugh came from somewhere, carrying a strange excitement of being seen through, yet also a hint of having met one's match.

"Interesting. Very interesting."

"I see. So you've been able to 'see' me all along?"

Fang Qingyu did not answer the question.

His gaze swept over You Shi's face, which had no features, and over the eerie aura surrounding him that seemed to blend into the shadows.

Fang Qingyu slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips covered with dark gold dragon scales, and gently brushed over the cold hilt of the Dragon Sparrow Awakening at his waist, which was wrapped with dragon bone tendons.

A deeper, more terrifying aura of destruction emanated from it, like a volcano about to erupt.

It began to silently condense and compress around its body.

Dark golden flames rose silently from beneath Fang Qingyu's feet.

Purple arcs of electricity leaped through the air, crackling and popping.

Above his head, two ferocious dragon horns, like those carved from red jade and wrapped with platinum lightning, pierced through his black hair and grew out fiercely!

Longwei!

The terrifying dragon's might, a mixture of world-burning calamity fire and destructive thunder, swept across the entire Bone Rock Plain like a tangible hurricane!

The pressure was so great that the desperados in the distance collapsed to the ground, making it incredibly difficult for them to even breathe!

Fang Qingyu's dragon eyes, as cold as molten gold, looked down at You Shi in front of him, as if looking down at a crawling insect about to be crushed.

The voice, deep and majestic, seemingly containing the decree of an ancient dragon god, resounded clearly across the desolate wasteland like a thousand thunderclaps:

"Next"

"How do you want to die?"
