Start by conquering the world with unlimited job opportunities.

Chapter 289 The rest is up to you!
The words fell.

Om-! ! !
From the point where Fang Qingyu stood, the thick, ink-like darkness surged forth like a burst dam, instantly engulfing everything in sight!
The swirling snowstorm vanished without a trace.

The undulating ice hills were swallowed by darkness.

Even the Dawn members who had surrounded the black-robed man were instantly enveloped and completely hidden by the impenetrable darkness.

One second they were locked in a tense standoff, the next they were plunged into absolute silence and a pure, dark abyss.

"Damn, what kind of domain is this?"

A man in black robes screamed.

The sound was muffled and distorted in the thick darkness, as if it were coming through a thick quilt.

A sense of panic, like a plague, instantly spread among all those clad in black robes.

At this point, the man in black robes finally started to get a little anxious.

When they went out to hunt Fang Qingyu and the others.

It's not that we didn't consider that Fang Qingyu's side might have more people.

After all, the people they captured are in Fang Qingyu's hands. Once Fang Qingyu joins forces with those people, their combat strength will be dozens of second-tier and one third-tier.

While they had several Tier 3 beings on their side, they were unable to capture them all.
So they summarized the situation and reported it to the ancestor, who told them to proceed with confidence.

The implication is that he will help.

And what Fang Qingyu is saying now
Clearly, the message was to make them look up and realize that their ancestors weren't actually there.

Fang Qingyu wasn't stupid either.

Knowing that there was a high probability that a fourth-tier fighter would make a move, they foolishly brought out a group of second-tier fighters.

After confirming that it was the Ji family of Tianshuang Fortress.

He then sent a message to Old Man Hong.
Old Man Hong only said one sentence: "It is impossible for a fourth-order being to appear around you in the short term."

Upon seeing this, Fang Qingyu was immediately relieved.

Although the old man didn't say why.

But Fang Qingyu was only guessing; that Jiu was still following him.
Therefore, it is impossible for a fourth-order being to appear around me.

Therefore, after receiving the task today, Fang Qingyu did not hesitate at all.

He set off with his own squad and the members of Dawn.

However, they came out openly and honestly.

The people who broke through the dawn came out through the deserted passage that Hong Qitian had used.
The man in black robes assumed they were hunting Fang Qingyu.

In fact, Fang Qingyu had already made all the arrangements, just waiting for them to come out from inside the Great Wall in the Arctic.

Ji Wuying's heart sank to the bottom.

A chill ran through the air, even more intense than the frozen ground of the Arctic.

He never expected that Fang Qingyu could find a fourth-tier expert to help him without reporting the matter to higher authorities!
He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue.

The excruciating pain forced him to suppress the churning fear and distracting thoughts.

"calm!!!"

Ji Wuying's roar echoed through the darkness.

His gaze swept quickly across the blurry silhouettes of his companions in the darkness, and he gave the order in a rapid voice: "Listen, Ji Wuhen and Ji Wufeng, come with me and tear this ghost domain apart with all our might."

"Everyone else, once a gap appears in the territory, immediately scatter and break through. Don't worry about others, and don't linger in battle! There is only one objective."

"Charge out and get to the front lines."

"Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate! Whether we survive or not depends on our own abilities!"

"Charge!!!"

"rush!!"

"Fight your way out!!"

After a brief moment of panic.

The desperado's ferocity was fully unleashed, and a deep roar echoed in the darkness.

Almost at the same instant Ji Wuying ordered the breakout.

The surrounding darkness surged as if it were alive, instantly and precisely separating Ji Wuying, Ji Wuhen, and another third-tier Martial Saint, Ji Wufeng, from the chaotic group of black-robed people.

It is encased in a dark core area that is even more stagnant, where the sense of space seems to be distorted.

Ji Wuhen's expression changed drastically.

He could feel his connection with his subordinates outside the home being forcibly severed by an invisible force.

It was as if I had sunk to the bottom of a sea of ​​ink.

He slammed his fists out, and the violent blood and qi transformed into a tangible shockwave that crashed into the thick darkness around him!

boom! boom!
A dull, resounding boom echoed, the force of the punch, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, vanished as if it had sunk into the sea.

The darkness was like the toughest deep-sea silt, violently undulating and caved in, yet it withstood it with unwavering resilience, without being torn apart.

They were only temporarily separated by a few meters, creating a brief vacuum zone.

Then, as if it were alive, it slowly closed up again.

"This field has incredible resilience!"

Ji Wufeng's eyes sharpened, his blood and qi surged, and he also attacked with all his might, his blade flashing like a bolt of lightning as it slashed towards the darkness, but the result was the same.

Just as the three were making their best effort to break through the barrier of the domain, attempting to reunite or break out of the domain.
hum!
The darkness not far ahead silently slid open to both sides like a curtain.

A figure slowly stepped out from within.

His body was surrounded by dazzling dark golden lightning, and the leaping arcs of electricity made him look like a god emerging from a pool of lightning.

It was Fang Qingyu.

His figure was completely exposed to the three of them, without any use of darkness to hide.

Fang Qingyu's target was naturally those third-tier beings among the black-robed men.

For example, there's Ji Wuying, who once put her arm around Chu Kuanglan's shoulder, as well as Ji Wuhen, and another person.

There were three beings at the third rank.

If these three Tier 3 beings were to attack other Tier 2 beings, it would be a fatal blow to the Tier 2 beings.

As for asking Jiu for help, Fang Qingyu hadn't considered that.

After all, judging from her personality, she can probably only help me solve situations that I can't face on my own, such as the fourth level or something.

In situations like the third tier, which I can handle, I won't take action.

"Fang Qingyu?!"

Ji Wuying was taken aback when she saw the other party appear alone.

A sense of unbelievable absurdity washed over him, and he asked with a strange expression, "You're not going to take on all three of us by yourself, are you?"

Fang Qingyu didn't speak, but simply tilted his head slightly.

Those eyes, completely filled with the golden light of the Divine Firmament, swept over the three of them calmly and without wavering.

As he moved, the dark gold divine aura surrounding him suddenly surged.

Crackling sound—sizzling sound!

Countless tiny arcs of electricity leaped and intertwined wildly, emitting a terrifying crackling sound.

The radiance of Shenxiao grew even more intense, almost illuminating a small area within the core region.

Within the dazzling lightning-encased inner contours, subtle anomalies could be faintly discerned.

Two sinuous, menacing dragon horns, shrouded in dark gold lightning patterns, quietly emerged from the ball of lightning above his head.

The power of the Dragon Transformation has already been quietly activated under the cover of Shenxiao.

"So what?"

Fang Qingyu's voice came through the thunder, carrying a metallic hum, eerily calm.

"Don't worry, no fourth-tier will get involved."

“If you can kill me, you can leave, and you can even take us all back.”

Upon hearing these words, the three couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Ji Wuying stepped forward first, speaking softly as she walked.

"I don't know if you have some kind of misconception. Do you think we're as useless as Jiang Taixuan? Or do you really believe it? You're so arrogant that you don't even realize you're courting death!!"

Finally, Ji Wuying roared.

They also disappeared from the spot.

They disappeared with him.

There are also Ji Wuhen and Ji Wufeng.

fast!
Almost reaching the extreme!
The Ji family's prized Shadow Escape Technique was pushed to its limit.

Three blurry afterimages instantly appeared around Fang Qingyu, their true forms impossible to detect with the naked eye; only a sharp whooshing sound ripped through the brief silence.

Three attacks imbued with terrifying killing intent.

From three completely different and tricky angles, with the force to tear everything apart, it fiercely attacked Fang Qingyu's head, chest, and lower back!
The air seemed to be sucked out instantly.

Three streams of powerful blood and killing intent belonging to third-tier Martial Saints.

Like an invisible noose, it locked tightly onto the golden figure in the center.

However, facing this deadly encirclement that could instantly cripple or even kill an ordinary third-tier fighter...
Fang Qingyu's vertical pupils, like molten gold, showed no panic, only a cold indifference.

In his field of vision, there were those three scarlet and dazzling [Martial Saint] titles.

Like a lighthouse in the darkness, it clearly marked every subtle movement and every trajectory of Ji Wuying and his companions.

All speed is laid bare in Fang Qingyu's eyes.

Just a split second before the three attacks were about to reach him.
It's sizzling!

Fang Qingyu's figure suddenly transformed into a twisted, dark golden lightning bolt.

It left behind a trail of leaping electric arcs.

Boom! ! ! !
A loud noise that shook the earth.

The thick snow where Fang Qingyu had been standing was instantly evaporated and pushed away by the violent force.

The permafrost layer beneath was exposed, hard as iron. Then, as if struck by a meteorite, the permafrost exploded, creating a terrifying crater more than ten meters in diameter and ten meters deep.

At the bottom of the pit, you can even see glassy rocks that have been instantly melted by the high temperature.

Snow and frozen soil, along with gravel, shot into the sky like fountains, only to be suppressed by an invisible force within the dark realm, forming a chaotic dust storm.

The air was filled with smoke and dust.

Ji Wuying and the other two figures appeared, maintaining their attack landing posture, but their faces showed no joy at their success, only a trace of shock and disbelief.

Ji Wuying suddenly looked up at something ten meters away.

There, Fang Qingyu's figure appeared silently like a ghost, his body still surrounded by divine light, and not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled.

Those cold, golden eyes pierced through the billowing smoke and dust.

He calmly watched the three of them, as if they were three trapped beasts struggling in vain.

"How could his speed possibly keep up with our Shadow Cloak?!"

Ji Wuhen's voice trembled slightly.

Their speed, which they were so proud of, had no effect on Fang Qingyu.

"Attack together! Don't give him a chance to breathe! Use the Shadow Kill Formation!"

A warning bell rang in Ji Wuying's mind, and a sense of crisis quietly welled up in her heart.

With a roar, he launched the attack once again!

The three figures once again transformed into blurry streaks of light. This time, they were faster and their trajectories were more unpredictable, like three rays of light intertwining and refracting wildly in the darkness.

The three were connected by their auras, subtly forming a triangular killing formation.

The layers of fierce killing intent completely locked down all of Fang Qingyu's space to dodge.

Faced with this even more deadly move than before.

Fang Qingyu remained standing in the same spot, only slightly raising the Dragon Sparrow Slaying Blade in his hand.

The dark gold lightning patterns on the blade seemed to come alive, emitting a deep hum.

And the other side.

As darkness completely enveloped the three third-tier leaders, the remaining dozen or so black-robed figures were plunged into a brief panic.

"Commander?! Shadowless Bro?!"

"Damn it! That kid separated them with his domain!"

"what to do?!"

Panic spread like poison gas.

However, after a brief period of chaos, the instinct for survival and the inherent ferocity overcame the fear.

A burly man in black robes suddenly took a step forward.

He grinned maliciously at the viscous darkness around him:

"Why are you doing this? Just listen to us obediently, and you won't suffer in the end. Why are you still putting up with this stubborn resistance? Aren't you just asking for trouble?!"

His voice echoed in the darkness, deliberately provocative, "And your fighting strength is a joke in front of us. Do you think you can escape our grasp?!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly sprang up.

With lightning speed, he aimed directly at a spot in the darkness on the left that had just experienced a very faint emotional fluctuation due to his words.

His senses were greatly suppressed, and he could only rely on experience and intuition.

He aimed his longsword straight at the vital point of the source of the fluctuation.

"Found you! Die!" However, just as he thrust his sword forward...
Clang——! ! !
A deafeningly loud metallic clang suddenly rang out.

Mars burst forth in the darkness!

A scimitar as thin as a cicada's wing, radiating a chilling aura, seemed to emerge from the void, precisely blocking his deadly strike.

The burly man in black robes suddenly narrowed his pupils.

He stared in disbelief at the figure slowly emerging from the darkness ahead.

Wei Banmeng held the Xuan Chi twin blades, her aura as cold as ice.

The figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness, as if it had merged into the eternal night.

She looked at the black-robed figures so close to her, their faces filled with astonishment, and her clear, cold voice, like a flowing spring, clearly reached the ears of every black-robed figure:

"joke?"

"Next"

"You are the ones who should despair!!!"

"kill--!!!"

As Wei Banmeng uttered her last word, it was as if a bugle call to charge had been sounded.

hum! ! !
The entire dark realm seemed to come alive, writhing and boiling violently.

In the eyes of the remaining eleven men in black robes, the viscous darkness was like boiling ink, from which countless blurry figures suddenly appeared and disappeared like ghosts.

One second it was empty, the next it was teeming with danger.

"later!"

"Watch out overhead!"

"Left side! Ah—!"

Screams, the clash of weapons, and the explosion of blood and qi instantly shattered the deathly silence.

The members of Dawn are all like shadow assassins blessed by the eternal night.

This is the function of Fang Qingyu's Eternal Night Territory: to conceal one's aura and affect the perception of the opponent.

As dawn breaks, each person is shrouded in darkness, and an unsettling aura pervades, as everyone pushes the limits of speed and stealth.
The man in black robes had no way of warning of the group's attack.

The Dawn team also retreated immediately after their initial attack, never lingering in battle.

The figure flashed through the darkness, disappearing into the blackness once more, vanishing without a trace!

The speed that the black-robed men were so proud of was greatly reduced in this dark realm that suppressed perception and distorted orientation.

Their signature coordinated attack.

Without effective communication and teammate location, it becomes virtually useless.

They could only passively stand back to back, forming a defensive circle, like reefs in a raging storm, enduring endless and fierce attacks from all directions.

puff!

A sharp blade flashed, and a black-robed man's shoulder blade was instantly pierced, blood spurting out!

boom!
A blazing fireball exploded at his feet, and the violent shockwave sent him staggering backward, instantly creating a gap in the defensive perimeter.

"Fill in the gap! Fill in the gap now!"

Someone roared.

However, as soon as the breach appeared, several attacks filled with deep-seated hatred surged in from the opening like sharks smelling blood.

"Ugh—!"

Another man in black robes was hit by several attacks at the same time. He screamed and flew backward. His figure was instantly swallowed by the writhing darkness, leaving only a muffled sound that stopped abruptly.

Fear! Utter fear!

The men in black robes finally realized that they were the prey.

In this dark realm belonging to the Avengers, they were like moths drawn into a spider's web.

Those who were once considered "goods" have now transformed into the deadliest shadow hunters, venting their long-suppressed hatred with their blood and lives.

"Back to back! Don't scatter! Hold on! Wait for your commander to take command!"

A black-robed man who looked like a minor leader tried desperately to regain his composure.

His voice trembled uncontrollably.

His response was a denser and deadlier attack from the darkness.

Despair, like the eternal night, completely engulfed them.

the other side.

boom! boom! boom!
Dull impacts, thunderous explosions, and furious roars intertwined wildly in the core dark area.

Ji Wuying and the other two looked extremely disheveled at this moment.

Their black robes were already tattered from the fierce battle, revealing the charred inner armor beneath.

His face and arms were covered with charred wounds from the divine lightning, the flesh rolled back and emitting blue smoke.

Her hair, which was originally neatly combed.

At this moment, the hairs stood upright, like a chicken coop struck by lightning, mixed with ice shavings and the smell of burning.

The "Shadow Killing Array" constructed by the three of them had long been torn to shreds by the raging power of the Divine Firmament.

Their speed, which they were so proud of, was completely useless in front of Fang Qingyu.

Every seemingly fatal surprise attack.

Fang Qingyu would dodge them by the slightest margin, or they would be forcibly interrupted by a precisely striking bolt of lightning!

Boom!

A dark gold divine sword, as thick as a water bucket, suddenly cleaved down from above Ji Wuying's head without warning.

He was forced to tumble and roll to avoid it.

scoff!

Just along Ji Wuying's rolling path, a patch of electric netting suddenly shot up from the ground, like a lightning serpent ready to devour its prey.

"Go away!"

Ji Wuying roared, his blood and qi erupting and shattering the electric grid.

However, he was struck in the back by a blade of energy that followed closely behind, causing his inner armor to shatter and blood to gush out.

Ji Wuhen and Ji Wufeng attempted to provide assistance.

However, he was tightly bound by the two lightning spears that Fang Qingyu casually swung, making it impossible for him to move an inch.

Frustrating! Utterly frustrating!

They possessed the immense power of a third-tier Martial Saint, yet they seemed to be mired in a quagmire, manipulated at the mercy of their opponent.

The omnipresent, all-powerful lightning seemed to be the master of this dark realm.

They were nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.

"This farce should end!!!"

Ji Wuying's eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he roared like a madman.

He bit his tongue hard, spitting blood onto the longsword in his hand.

The sword instantly erupted with an eerie blood-red light, and its aura surged wildly.

He was going to use his desperate secret technique to forcefully tear open this damned domain!

Ji Wuhen and Ji Wufeng roared simultaneously, their blood and qi boiling as if on fire, clearly determined to fight to the death!

However, they were about to unleash their final, frenzied attack.

Enveloped by the Divine Firmament, a faint trace of indifference finally flashed across Fang Qingyu's cold golden eyes.

He nodded slightly, his voice carrying through the thunder, chillingly calm:

"really."

"This farce should end."

The moment the word "end" was uttered.

Ji Wuying and his two companions, like three blood-red arrows released from a bow, suddenly launched themselves with a fierce and destructive momentum.

Three blood-red shadows tore through the darkness, rushing straight towards Fang Qingyu.

This was the final blow that combined all their strength, all their anger, and all their despair!
Fang Qingyu simply raised his left hand calmly.

There were no complicated hand seals, no earth-shattering power accumulation.

He simply faced the direction the three were charging, spread his five fingers, and then...
A grasp of emptiness!
boom! boom! boom! ! !
Three dark golden divine pillars, far exceeding the diameter of the previous ones and resembling colossal pillars of divine punishment, appeared without warning directly in front of the three's path of ascent.
It arrived unexpectedly!!!

It was as if everything had been planned in advance.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The madness, determination, and hint of impending success on Ji Wuying and the other two's faces were instantly replaced by boundless horror and disbelief.

"Do not--!!!"

Ji Wuying only had time to let out a desperate roar.

The pupils reflected the dazzling lightning that filled the entire field of vision and destroyed everything.

Boom——!!!!!!

The deafening roar of thunder echoed throughout the entire dark realm.

The blinding lightning instantly engulfed the three figures completely.

The raging power of the Divine Firmament raged and tore everything apart.

As the lightning slowly dissipated.

Three charred figures, their skin torn and bleeding, billowing smoke.

Like three broken pieces of coke, convulsing and spasming, they were smashed deep into three huge, charred pits with molten lava flowing along their edges.

Sizzle and crackle
Tiny arcs of electricity still danced on their charred wounds.

Each throbbing was accompanied by a violent spasm and a painful groan.

"impossible."

Ji Wuying lay at the bottom of the pit, half of her face charred and carbonized, one eye completely blind, the other eye staring intently at the golden figure slowly descending from the sky, filled with endless resentment and incomprehension.

"Why...why can you...see through our speed trajectory?"

His voice was hoarse and broken, like a broken bellows being pulled, and every word was laced with blood and foam.

Fang Qingyu slowly landed at the edge of the pit, and the violent divine aura around him receded like the tide, revealing his calm and undisturbed face.

The two menacing dragon horn phantoms above his head also vanished.

Looking down into the pit, the Ji family's third-tier members resembled three dying worms.

There was not a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"why?"

Fang Qingyu's lips curled into a very faint smile, "Because your speed, which you are so proud of, is, in my eyes..."

"As slow as a tortoise crawling."

"you!"

Ji Wuying trembled violently with rage, spitting out another mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. Her eyes dimmed completely, leaving only deep-seated resentment and unwillingness.

He finally understood that from the very beginning, their "speed" was inferior to Fang Qingyu's.

It's a complete joke.

This was not a battle at all, but a one-sided toy and crushing defeat.

at this time
Shh. Shh. Shh.
Dense, light footsteps came from all directions.

The thick darkness that enveloped this core area slowly receded to both sides like a stage curtain.

One, two, three.
Wei Banmeng, Jiang Wei, Chu Kuanglan, and Lu Jiuyuan were the first to appear.

Next came Lin Yu, Zhang Meng, Chen Shan, and Li Yan.
One figure after another emerged from the fading darkness.

The thirty-seven members of Dawn silently surrounded the three huge scorched pits.

They bore the marks of the fierce battle to varying degrees.

Some of them had dark red bloodstains on their clothes, but their eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

They were fixated on the three figures at the bottom of the pit, still twitching slightly and emitting a burnt stench.

There was no ecstatic joy in those eyes.

Only the deepest, most intense hatred, the endless humiliation, and the ultimate joy of finally being able to kill one's enemy.
The entire battlefield was silent.

Only the howling wind and snow once again filled this region.

And the intermittent groans of the three charred black figures at the bottom of the pit.

Fang Qingyu's gaze swept over the faces filled with hatred and expectation, finally landing on Lin Yu, who was at the head of the group.

The coldness on her face melted away quietly, like snow in early spring.

A gentle, encouraging smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He first spoke to Wei Banmeng and the others.

"Let's go."

Finally, looking at Lin Yu and the thirty-seven pairs of eyes behind her, he nodded slightly:
"The rest"

"Leave it to you."
