Lu Youchao’s entire body shuddered and he turned his head to look over.
Under the faint moonlight, Fang Yu, holding a slender short sword, pursued at a speed akin to the wind.
The mont Fang Yu noticed Lu Youchao, he grasped the Mandala petals...
A master of the Martial Arts Sixth Layer Middle Stage was by no ans comparable to those at the Martial Arts Third Layer who were the Hidden Dragon Guards.
Therefore, Fang Yu directly brandished his weapon—the Death God.
Whooosh!
Lu Youchao leaped out of the courtyard.
"Think you can chase ?"
Lu Youchao snorted coldly; inner strength bursting forth, he stamped his feet on the ground and dashed away.
He knew he might not be a match, but as a master of the Martial Arts Sixth Layer, escaping would certainly not be an issue. Even faced with soone from the Seventh Layer, he would still have a slim chance of slipping away.
So, seeing the target pursuing him,
He was confident about escaping.
...
However, after a few minutes of mad dash, he was shocked to find the target still in pursuit.
"Forcing to flee with all my might?"
Lu Youchao snorted coldly again.
Go all out!
If it had been in the past, for soone of his stature, a master of Sixth Layer Heaven, fleeing would have been a disgrace. He had never run away.
Little did he expect that now, whether he could escape beca sothing worthy of bragging about.
How pathetic and lantable!
...
...
anwhile,
In the courtyard of the Ye Family’s elder.
The evening breeze ca, dispersing so of the bloody scent.
As ti passed, so of the blood on the ground had already begun to congeal. Nurous flies buzzed around... This was a paradise for flies.
Inside the house.
The old master of the Ye Family tightly held Ye Wenjun’s hand, continually comforting her.
Ye Wenjun rarely stayed at ho since she was little, receiving only high-class education. Even as the precious daughter of the Ye Family, she had never been exposed to any bloody scenes, not even the brawls of hoodlums.
"Don’t worry, I always feel that Fang Yu... is not that simple."
Ye Wenjun nodded and said:
"I’m just worried, just in case..."
"There won’t be any just in case." The elder sighed, "I have lived long enough, but you, you are in the pri of your youth. Alas, it’s a pity I won’t be able to see you marry Fang Yu, I can’t let go—"
Ye Wenjun lowered her head.
"Great-grandfather, why must I marry Fang Yu?" She did not understand, not at all. When she first found out about this, she expressed great resistance; what era was it, and they still had arranged marriages?
Later, under her father’s pressure, she was given a promise: if Fang Yu also did not like Ye Wenjun, both parties would be given an opportunity to sit down and discuss breaking it off. Therefore, when Ye Wenjun first t Fang Yu, she didn’t intend to give him a good impression, hoping he would retreat knowing the difficulty.
The Ye Family elder sighed softly:
"It’s a long story. Your father was hunted and seriously injured years ago; no one could cure him, and no one dared to. But the master of Fang Yu, Old Fang from the Fang Family, dared to do so... Because of that, the Fang Family made enemies... The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and that’s how the Ye Family and the Fang Family beca sworn allies. To repay the Fang Family, I took the initiative to propose this marriage."
"I just didn’t expect the Fang Family to be decimated before you ca of age..."
Ye Wenjun listened intently and said, "Then why didn’t our Ye Family help?"
"Do you think I didn’t want to help? The Jin Family and the Zhao Family deployed more than half of their masters, completely surrounding the Ye Family... If it wasn’t for the standoff between the three parties, the fate of the Ye Family would have been the sa as the Fang Family’s!" The elder’s eyes blazed.
Hearing this, Ye Wenjun also heaved a light sigh.
"That year, I boldly let half of the Hidden Dragon Guards desperately protect the Fang Family’s bloodline in secret; that was the best I could do," said the elder.
"Wenjun, it’s been hard on you..." The old master looked at his great-granddaughter and asked, "Let ask you one thing, do you really not like Fang Yu at all?"
Hearing this question, Ye Wenjun was montarily stunned.
She didn’t know how to answer.
Because her acquaintance with Fang Yu was short, and initially she found him sowhat annoying—only... after today’s events, for so reason that annoyance had completely dissipated, and was even replaced by a strange curiosity...
So say if a woman becos curious about a man, it might an she is starting to like him!
Ye Wenjun didn’t believe it.
But she still replied: "I don’t know..."
"Feelings can be cultivated slowly. If we can still be alive today, let’s finalize the marriage between you two," the elder stated indifferently.
Yes, whether they could survive was still an issue.
"Great-grandfather, it seems quiet outside now."
The old man pricked up his ears to listen, his eyebrows knitted tightly, nodding, "Let’s go and see."
Ye Wenjun assisted the elder and slowly opened the door.
Following that, the scene before them completely shocked Ye Wenjun and the elder—
In the corner, there were severed heads.
In the center of the courtyard, bodies slashed at the waist...
Broken short swords littered the ground!
Rivers of blood andered across the floor!
Ye Wenjun jolted violently and imdiately ran back into the room, vomiting intensely!
The old man’s tiger-like eyes widened, his lips trembling involuntarily. As much as he was worldly and knowledgeable, he could not comprehend the scene before him!
"What on earth... happened here?!!"
...
...
At this mont.
Fang Yu, wielding "Death God," was swiftly pursuing Lu Youchao!
His speed was getting faster! And the distance between him and Lu Youchao was closing.
Filled with terror, Lu Youchao exclaid, "So strong!"
Just as he was about to be caught by Fang Yu, Lu Youchao spun around, stopping abruptly!
His gaze fell upon Fang Yu.
The distance was close, catching the faint moonlight, Lu Youchao saw Fang Yu’s appearance.
Following that, he was severely shaken!
"You... are... Lu Yu?"
Lu Youchao couldn’t believe it!
Fang Yu gradually ca to a halt, "Death God" still in the form of a sword in his hand.
His gaze was cold and emotionless.
"Standing before you is the fiancé of Ye Wenjun, the great-granddaughter of Ye Shitian of the Ye Family and daughter of Ye Xingkong, Fang Yu."
Fang Yu slowly raised the "Death God" in his hand, pointing it at Lu Youchao, and continued, "I’ll give you a chance to confess, na the person who sent you."
Lu Youchao burst into laughter—
"Fang Yu? You are Fang Yu? Stop joking! I’d recognize you even if you turned to ash. Lu Yu, I never thought you would embrace the Martial Arts Path. I admit you are strong, but I have no intention of fighting you... Let’s pretend today’s events never happened."
[You are Fang Yu?]
Fang Yu caught the tone of that phrase, puzzled. When did Lu Youchao hear of my na?
"How glib to say let’s pretend nothing happened... But... I have no intention of letting you go."
Lu Youchao glared and said:
"Do you really want to fight ? Lu Yu, you are a mber of the Lu Family, you should know the power of the Lu Family! And don’t forget, the blood that flows in your veins belongs to the Lu Family!"
Fang Yu’s killing intent intensified, and he nearly couldn’t be bothered to argue:
"I’ll ask you one last ti, who is behind this. Speak, or else—death."
