Confidence surged. Ma Zuo kicked away the martial captain, who was now only half a head, and grinned hideously. "Sorry, it was just a slip of the hand. Looks like I killed your friend."

Fang Yue was stunned.

His brain was having trouble processing what had happened.

Martial Captain… was dead!

Just like that, in an instant, Ma Zuo had killed him!

When he came back to his senses, Fang Yue found himself trembling, his whole body shaking.

"Ma! Zuo!!"

His body acted faster than his mind.

He shot forward, closing the distance to Ma Zuo almost instantly.

Before Ma Zuo could react, his expression shifting slightly, Fang Yue's fist smashed into his face.

*Bang!*

The [Innate Qi Shield] shattered instantly. The fist slammed into Ma Zuo's face, breaking his teeth and continuing deeper, fracturing the facial bones before finally sending him crashing to the ground.

*Boom!!*

The ground cracked, and Fang Yue's iron fist was just about to start its second round.

"Explode!!"

"Explode!!"

The two voices sounded almost simultaneously, as if Fang Yue had predicted his prediction.

However, in terms of quality, there was still a gap. Fang Yue was blasted away by the [Qi Field], sent flying a dozen meters.

But that was all it did. As soon as he stopped, Fang Yue charged forward like a madman.

But even more insane were the youguis!

The three remaining blood-level youguis intercepted Fang Yue halfway, attacking wildly and trapping the enraged Fang Yue.

Ma Zuo seized the opportunity to retreat rapidly, shakily popping a pill.

These were the last of his pills. The accumulation of pill toxins had reached a point where he couldn't take any more. At this level of toxicity, no matter how many pills he took, they would have no effect. At the same time, the accumulation of pill toxins would drastically weaken his physique, lower his cultivation, and even cause him to drop dead on the spot.

Pill toxins were never something to be underestimated.

At this moment, Ma Zuo felt the urge to retreat.

However, before he could act, he saw the three blood-level youguis fall one after another. Fang Yue, covered in black blood, looked like a monster emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. His cold eyes stared at him, and he walked toward him step by step.

The monstrous baleful aura rolled over, suffocating him.

At this moment, Ma Zuo felt fear for Fang Yue for the first time!

This brat, who was clearly just a newly advanced Xiantian realm cultivator, was like an unkillable cockroach, healing and fighting again and again, and… getting stronger with each battle!

In contrast, he was already at the end of his rope. Unable to take any more pills, it was almost impossible for him to release [Qi Field] and [Innate Qi Shield] in succession like before.

These two abilities required a lot of internal energy to use. He had been able to fight so continuously because of his high internal energy reserves and the good quality of his pills.

But now, it was impossible to return to his peak combat power.

Ma Zuo was about to find an opportunity to escape when his pupils suddenly shrank, and he froze.

"Im…pos…sible!!"

He stared blankly ahead, his face filled with disbelief.

Fang Yue turned back in confusion, and his pupils shrank in surprise and joy.

"Martial Captain!?"

Indeed, it was the martial captain, bathed in golden light, his entire body covered in flowing golden threads like tattoos, slowly climbing up from the ground.

The half of his head that Ma Zuo had blown apart with a punch had been repaired by the weaving and wrapping of the golden threads.

The martial captain seemed a bit dazed, a bit lost.

When he saw Fang Yue running over in surprise, he barely came back to his senses.

"What… happened to me?"

"Martial Captain, that's great! You're alive! You're still alive!"

Fang Yue excitedly grabbed his shoulders.

When the martial captain had died saving him earlier, Fang Yue had been truly enraged and had lost his mind.

Now that he saw the martial captain was alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a brief explanation, the martial captain looked bewildered. "I… I've been resurrected?"

He couldn't understand what Fang Yue was saying at all. His memory stopped at being punched in the head by Ma Zuo, and when he woke up, he was like this.

The golden light on his body had completely faded away and disappeared. After shaking himself, the martial captain roughly understood the situation.

*Roar!!*

Behind them, two newly arrived blood-level youguis, leading a group of youguis, were approaching.

In front of them, Ma Zuo seemed ready to run away at any moment.

After pondering for a moment, the martial captain said glumly, "I can't beat that masked Ma head, I'll leave him to you. I'll hold back the youguis behind us!"

"Okay!"

With a clear division of labor, the martial captain faced the two blood-level youguis. Although these youguis were all desperately trying to get past the martial captain to hunt down Fang Yue, the martial captain managed to hold them back for the time being.

Seeing that the martial captain was barely able to cope with the two blood-level youguis, Fang Yue felt relieved.

He grinned at Ma Zuo, whose forehead was dripping with cold sweat and who seemed to have a clear understanding of the current situation. Fang Yue said, "Now, it's time for us to settle the score!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yue rushed out.

Ma Zuo's expression changed, and he retreated rapidly, but Fang Yue easily caught up.

That's right! Having qi means you can do whatever you want! Explode whenever you want, I'll explode as much as I want!

*Boom!!*

The shockwave exploded, blowing Ma Zuo away and sending him flying towards the youguis and the martial captain.

Now, they were being attacked from both sides.

No matter which way Ma Zuo wanted to escape, he would have to face Fang Yue or the martial captain.

A Ma Zuo in full condition could easily deal with the martial captain.

But the current him was already at the end of his rope, not worth mentioning.

"I never thought… I would be forced to this point!"

"I thought I would never have the chance to use this in my life…"

Lying on the ground, Ma Zuo suddenly began to talk to himself.

Fang Yue's expression changed, and he rushed forward.

He immediately thought of Steward Liao, who had died in Ningfu.

Although he didn't know what Steward Liao was going to do in the end, something was very wrong now, that bone shield was very wrong!

If Ma Zuo also had something similar…

Just as Fang Yue was thinking this, he saw Ma Zuo take out a bone flute.

But instead of playing it, he aimed it at his neck and thrust it down violently.

His expression changed. Fang Yue accelerated and rushed in front of him in a flash, kicking the bone flute away.

As a result, he used too much force and kicked the bone flute in half, turning it into a pile of broken bones and two small pieces at the head and tail.

"Ugh… Ugh!"

Ma Zuo's neck had been pierced by the bone flute, and blood was flowing out. He twitched, his body gradually turning cold, and gradually lost his breath.

Fang Yue cut off his head with a knife, and after searching the corpse, he immediately burned the body with blazing white flames to be completely sure.
