Chapter 284 Resisting the Enemy

"What's Captain Ye doing?"

"Cultivating."

"Cultivating? At this time?"

Captain Wu looked at Fang Yue in surprise, and then, in the next moment, he felt Fang Yue's aura rapidly increasing.

The already terrifying aura had multiplied several times over, becoming unfathomable!

This guy, this guy really is...

Captain Wu smiled wryly. He relied on the power of his bloodline to reach his current strength. To be honest, even he himself didn't quite acknowledge this strength, feeling that it was external, not his own true power.

But Captain Ye was different. That strength was truly cultivated through his own efforts. Such a rate of improvement, such a rapid increase in strength, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a monster.

He remembered when he first met Captain Ye in Mo Village, this guy seemed to have the same level of strength as himself. But now...

Sure enough, people can't be judged in the same light. Some people are so monstrous that they leave others in the dust, making them feel like they've been sitting in a well, ignorant of what a genius truly is.

At this moment, Fang Yue slowly opened his eyes, glancing at the two people guarding beside him, a warm feeling flashed in his heart.

When he saw the shattered wall outside, and the thunder rumbling again, with the towering spirit tree already emerging, Fang Yue restrained his expression and looked at the two with a solemn expression.

Everything was conveyed without words. The three of them exchanged a glance, and together they went up the stairs, rushing to the roof of the Qinggao Building.

Passing through the door on the roof, Fang Yue's pupils shrank slightly as he looked out.

The scene before him presented a bizarre situation.

The Second Prince of the Wuyu Clan was actually standing back-to-back with Taurus, as if fighting side by side, their expressions tense as they stared at a red whirlwind that kept circling around them... No! That wasn't a red whirlwind, that was... a girl! She was moving so fast that she had almost turned into a scarlet wind, making it almost impossible to catch her!

Could a human martial artist really be this strong...?

Fang Yue's thoughts suddenly paused, because he saw that the girl's legs were actually shaped like claws. This strange appearance made it hard to say if she was purely human.

Outside the scarlet whirlwind, there was a pile of grotesque corpses of the Wuyu Clan, as well as the shattered remains of all the elders of the four clans, and a large number of Wuyu Clan grotesqueries fluttering in the sky, but not daring to approach the battlefield.

"I never thought I would be forced to join forces with humans..."

The Second Prince of the Wuyu Clan's hand was trembling. From those two humans, he actually felt a terrifying pressure that he had only felt from his eldest brother!

What exactly were these two guys...?

"Humph! If it weren't for needing your strength to kill the Phoenix King and Queen, do you think I would be willing to fight alongside you...? Huh?!"

When Taurus said this, his gaze passed through the scarlet whirlwind and saw Fang Yue and the others who had just arrived on the roof, and his face immediately showed joy.

"Night Watch, come and help me! They are the Phoenix King and Queen, kill them, the spirit tree will self-destruct, and everything will be over!"

Taurus didn't care about the lives of the people in Jing City. Since Lie Er died, his only goal was to kill the Phoenix King and Queen and avenge Lie Er! So he lied without hesitation.

However...

"We die, and the spirit tree self-destructs? How did you come to such a naive..."

Boom! !

The violent black energy burst out as if in slow motion.

World Freeze!

The flow of everything around seemed to slow down.

The black wheel rose behind him, and the black energy surged madly into the Tianjian. The Empty Ice Sword Manual gathered all the sword techniques, fusing black energy and inner force, maximizing its power.

With such a peak strike, Fang Yue rushed in front of the Phoenix King almost instantly!

Buzz! !

The moment the sword was unleashed, darkness swept towards the Phoenix King like a surge, completely engulfing him!

Within the darkness, a figure seemed to shuttle out as if multiple figures were intertwined.

At this moment, the flow of time returned to normal!

"Phoenix King!?"

The Phoenix Queen, who was surrounding Taurus and the Second Prince of the Wuyu Clan, cried out in alarm.

"What terrifying power?!"

Taurus and the Second Prince widened their eyes.

"Captain Ye!"

"Brother Ye!!"

Wei Ba and Captain Wu exclaimed.

However, when the black mist dissipated...

Fang Yue was standing outside the black mist. The figure who had shuttled out was none other than him.

However, Fang Yue's hand was shaking.

Cold sweat ran down his cheek.

Behind Fang Yue, the Phoenix King, whose index finger was broken, gradually revealed an expression of confusion and astonishment. Blood gradually flowed out of the wound on his broken index finger.

After a few seconds of confusion, the Phoenix King slowly turned around, looked at Fang Yue, who was trembling with his back to him, and said in a teasing tone.

"What a terrifying sword."

Fang Yue extended his left hand to steady his trembling right hand, turned around and looked at the Phoenix King.

"You dare to say that, old monster!"

Everyone was a little confused by the current situation.

Wei Ba and Captain Wu exclaimed in surprise.

"Great! Brother Ye is the better one!"

"Captain Ye suppressed him!!"

Taurus and the Second Prince of the Wuyu Clan looked at Fang Yue in disbelief.

"This guy... Sure enough, I didn't misjudge him back then!" Taurus was excited.

"Among the human martial artists, besides these two, there is actually such a monster?! Wait, isn't this guy that corpse?! No wonder the Third Prince hasn't been heard from since he chased him. It seems he's met with misfortune." The Second Prince was shocked and uncertain.

Everyone was shocked and delighted by Fang Yue's previous strike. Even the countless Wuyu Clan grotesqueries in the surrounding sky were cheering for Fang Yue.

This feeling was really strange, to be cheered on by grotesqueries.

However... everyone was happy too soon.

Because the situation earlier was not what they thought it was at all.

That sword just now was basically Fang Yue's limit, but when that sword slashed over... he was blocked.

His full-strength sword was blocked by the Phoenix King, using his right hand's index finger! Solidly, he took his full-strength sword head-on!

Even his figure had paused at that moment.

However, the Phoenix King seemed to feel that there was something special about the power that Fang Yue had unleashed that he couldn't understand. He was momentarily distracted and had his finger cut off by Fang Yue's second burst of power. Fang Yue himself also escaped a disaster, which prevented him from being defeated on the spot.

But that was all.

Through that sword just now, he truly felt the absolute gap in strength.

Could the gap in strength between Rain-level cultivators really be this big?!

Is this monster really Rain-level? Could he already be an immortal?

Fang Yue steadied his breathing, his mind racing to think about how to defeat the Phoenix King.

No wonder the Second Prince of the Wuyu Clan would join forces with Taurus. If such a terrifyingly strong opponent appeared in the human camp, a temporary alliance would not be unacceptable.

In the eyes of outsiders, Fang Yue was already an existence capable of contending with the Phoenix King.

But only Fang Yue himself knew that he would never be the Phoenix King's opponent right now!

The underground emperor of Qing Country is indeed not simple!

"How dare you hurt my man, kid, you deserve to die!"

While Fang Yue was thinking, a scarlet wind suddenly rushed from the side!
