Backlash

"Damn swordsmen!" Fang Yu felt a strong sense of danger coming from the cultivator as an oppressive power locked him in place. Clearly, the latter was exuding his Sword Heart to distort the surroundings laws.

The Sword Dao was a postnatal Dao. Compared to connate daos like life dao or, death dao, it was less mysterious and relatively embryonic but had tremendous conceptual potential. Like now, the sharp, overbearing aura easily tore apart and dominated the natural laws of the battle zone.

Unwilling to be outdone, Fang Yu gave up on sneak combat and grasped his daggers tightly, confronting the sword head on.

Clang!

The force from the blow of the collision almost flung Fang Yu away but he shook his body at a specific frequency, using this method to nullify the momentum and stabilize his footing. At the same time, he trickily swung the dagger in his left hand to his opponent's ribs without missing a beat.

With this action, Fang Yu casually proved that a true assassin was as adept in clos

    Returning to the scene, Fang Yu looked warily at the old man beside the lifeless Hu Mei. Unlike their previous encounters, he could sense now that the man's cultivation was not weak. There was also a subtle feel of camaraderie coming from him which was weird. "It's you!," Old Li's voice shook. Faintly, there was a trace of exasperation in his tone. "You shouldn't have returned." "I came back to retrieve my Artifacts," Fang Yu's lips pursued behind the silver mask. "What, I'm not allowed to?" Old Li sensed the laced mockery and smiled wryly, "Not everyone in the Guild agreed with the Branch Leader's verdict on the matter, you know. Now that you've killed her, can we let bygones be bygones?" "Oh, she's the branch leader?" Fang Yu was surprised. He hadn't expected her to be so.....weak? Old Li could not read Fang Yu's expression but guessed his thoughts. He said, "Boss Hu's cultivation art was the Ghost Yin Curse Method. Under the circumstances, this made her combat strength far

    "You!" Upon seeing Fang Yu, Old Li was annoyed and had a strong impulse to take a sledgehammer and crack the guy's skull open."I apologize for the trouble I've caused," Fang Yu thankfully knew his place and hurriedly put on a contrite expression. He wasn't wearing a mask this time as Old Li had already seen his features in the mirror earlier."It's fine," Old Li took a deep breath to regain his composure. He suddenly smiled mischievously and said, "Do you want to know what the Envoy decided on?""What?" Fang Yu was curious. Under the terrifying pressure, he had not dared monitor this area even remotely before and only showed up when the expert took his leave and his spiritual intuition hinted it was safe. "Also, why didn't the Envoy scan the city with his divine sense to see if I was still here?""You don't really think that a dignified powerhouse like him would resort to doing that, do you?" Old Li said derisively. "He'll return to the headquarters and put up your information on the

    "That's impossible!" Old Li immediately shook his head vehemently."Fine, give me a portion of the rewards first. There are three of them, surely you can give me one or two in advance?"Old Li was going to protest but eventually sighed, "Alright, deal. I'll give you the Artifact first." With his experience, he could obviously see through Fang Yu's little scheme. But he was willing to let this go; he thought of it as showing a little show of sincerity."When will you leave? You already have all the information?""Soon. I have one little business left.""You're not going to assassinate Governor Ji out of vengeance, are you?" Old Li guessed. Fang Yu did not answer but smiled coldly."It's best you forget about doing that. Doing so would make it easy to deduce that you were here even during the Envoy's visit. I won't be surprised if he comes capture you himself if news of that spreads.""Damn, so complicated!" Fang Yu grumbled. "Alright, I won't. About the travel arrangements...""That's

  • Nexus Grandmaster   Granny Bam Bam

    The morning passed slowly. At some point, Fang Yu returned to the docks where he was to board his ship ride.Yes, the entrance to the secret realm happened to be on a nearby island. The island was occupied by a mortal tribe until recently when a valuable cultivation resource was discovered in it; Pure Aqua Moon Essence. For water-dao cultivators, Artifact Refiners and Alchemists, this was a very valuable treasure and a 'rush' to claim the available stock soon led to pathfinders charting a safe transport route to the area."The mortal youngsters on the island are lucky. Although not much, the compensation provided by the treasure-hunting cultivators to the natives will be enough for them to embark on the path of cultivation," Fang Yu mused whimsically. In a split moment, he had visions of passionate youngsters eagerly collecting cultivation manuals and having their first meditation sessions. "You there, are you one of those boarding the ship?" A brawny man suddenly addressed Fang Yu.

    The man was embarrassed and apologized, "I have the legendary sea sickness. Pardon my little trouble."Fang Yu's face was dark and he asked stiffly, "If that's the case, what are you doing out at sea?""Of course it's for the Aqua Moon Essence!" The man's flesh jiggled as he spoke. "I have to go in person to supervise the mining of my subordinates. You should know that young men these days are opportunists and not trustworthy at all." It was only after the man said these words that he realized Fang Yu was a youngster himself. The atmosphere turned awkward.Meanwhile, Fang Yu squinted his eyes. He didn't notice it before but there was a dark colour on the glabella of the man. Even worse, more than half of the passengers aboard had the same condition."It's the Qi of death. These people are bound to die soon," Fang Yu knew that he could only see this by virtue of his innnate shadow rule abilities. A speculation rose in his mind; could it be that this journey was plagued with misfortune

    "You can quit pretending, I know it's you," Fang Yu's words created a general lull in the discourse around him. Their eyes followed his gaze to the person standing a few meters away from him. "How can it be? Surely you've got the wrong person!" The Captain of the ship protested. Fang Yu ignored his words and spoke. "When the darkness hit just now, I sensed a unique fluctuation erupt from your body and sweep across the ship in a split second." "I don't know what you're talking about," The accused, who happened to be the hostess that had debunked the outside interference claim earlier, looked aggrieved. Her expression paled further when she noticed the several unfriendly gazes cast in her direction. "Friend, we really can't take your words as the absolute truth unless you provide proof," the Captain was adamant. "Besides, you're very suspicious yourself. We're only just discovering now that you're a cultivator. Why was your aura concealed before like you were hiding something?"

  • Nexus Grandmaster   Banshee Sea Demoness

    The passengers on the ship had already experienced the blackout a number of times now so they involuntarily tensed up. Some grasped their weapons defensively while others extended their divine sense around them to get a semblance of security.However, it soon became apparent that the blackout this time was a bit different. It wasn't accompanied by the familiar earpiercing screech and didn't vanish seconds after its appearance. Another thing was that they found their senses rapidly adjusting to the darkness. Very soon, they were able to make out Fang Yu's figure in their line of sight.He was standing in the exact same spot as before and still had the hostess grasped tightly in his hand. In the dim lighting however, the latter's features were spookily distorted to look like–"Still can't see it?" Fang Yu's voice rang out in the dark and he sighed. The next moment, the dark cover gained an iridescent lustre."Arghhhh!!" The pained cry gave everyone hearing it goosebumps. But the sound w

    The Captain sensed the sombre aura Fang Yu was exuding and looked suspiciously at the demoness who was writhing painfully on the ground. "What's going on?" He asked Granny Bam Bam."Probably nothing. But probably something," her reply was vague but the anticipation in her eyes betrayed her.Meanwhile, Fang Yu's face paled rapidly and his aura turned weak. Only he knew the pressure he was facing at the moment.Soul Guide. This ability summoned a projection of the Underworld to guide souls through. Now, to guarantee that the souls he was guiding weren't siphoned away immediately by it once he successfully withdrew them from the Banshee's body, Fang Yu had to use all his power to prevent the projection from fully materializing while keeping the ability running simultaneously. The strain it put on his body and soul was almost impossible to bear.Fortunately, he was soon able to restore the connection between these souls and their bodies. It hadn't been very long since the incident happen

  • Battle at the Sanctum

    "What?" Fang Yu frowned immediately. As the sovereign of the planet, it was an understatement to say it was an insult in the first place that Aphrodite's own people were this eager to marry her off. But above that, the manner in which they did this was extremely insulting.In the Venus culture, the dowry came from the bride's side and not the other way around. Clearly, this was an open scheme to drag Aphrodite dignity through the mud.Seeing her mistress' expression turn darker, Mika shifted uneasily and asked, "Shall I prepare your carriage now, Milady?"Fang Yu looked up in surprise, "What do you mean? They didn't even come in person to relay the message?""The message was passed along by a postman," Mika's tone was very soft as she spoke, "They...they said to come meet them yourself in the Sanctum.""Oh?" Fang Yu smiled coldly. "It seems my title as Sovereign is being seen as a joke."Given the power structure of the Venus society, Fang Yu was honestly not surprised at this underh

  • Internal Discord

    Fang Yu thought that if indeed such a situation arose one day, he would seek out solutions from the Eternal Purgatory Planet in his timeline to deal with it.His assurance was based on his knowledge of one of the top legacies in the Eternal Purgatory World, a very mysterious Buddhist inheritance from the Clear Heart Temple which cultivated one's mental state to the point of transcending mortal shackles. Their members were all monks and often offered treatment 'spiritual' services to cultivators with extreme mental issues from cases of spiritual encroachment or will possession.Fang Yu supposed it should be a piece of cake for them to deal with a simple personality disorder with their methods. Even better, he could also seek out other inheritances that refined mental purity and cultivate them to eliminate any external influence.Fang Yu left the bath and patted himself dry, rejecting the maidservants who hurriedly came up to do it in his behalf. Somehow, he didn't feel shy or embarrass

  • Planet Tour

    With the Dao of Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Aphrodite's sensory method operated by sensing emotional fluctuations around her like a radar. All this while, Fang Yu's view had been a kaleidoscope of colours representing the emotions of the populace as the carriage flew back. This was the method he activated to see if he would discover anything unusual during his tour.Aphrodite hadn't shown her face in public since the unknown taboo incident occured, and Fang Yu was making this public outing in the hope that it would spark involuntary reactions from the spectators of the experience just like Mika had reacted strongly upon being reminded of White Butterfly. Coincidentally, only one person had fit the bill so far; the kid Mailo who had exuded an unusual emotion of dread when the carriage passed overhead him. "You.....answer the question!" Mika was both worried and angered when she noticed Mailo drooling instead of answering Fang Yu's question. She stole a glance at the Sovereign godd

  • Secrets of the Era Decline

    It was possible that the event was related to the end of this era!Fang Yu had thought about this before. Modern Earth preserved a bit about the ancient era of gods in the form of myths, but the information was limited. There was nothing about how the ancient era ended, including what happened to the divine sovereign gods that ruled the solar system and what led to the recession of spiritual energy in the universe that made the future Earth environment a sparse world with zilch qi. Logically, it was almost impossible to imagine that a stronghold with such power vanished from the annuls of history without so much as clues hinting what led to their downfall.Now that Fang Yu had come across an anomaly in the ancient era, he instinctively felt it was somewhat related to the eventual extinction of the divine gods. This wasn't just an ordinary conjecture but also factored in the intuition of the ancient god he was possessing."Can I do anything to change this fate? Or should I?"This was F

  • White Butterfly

    "It's nothing, Milady," the maid wrung her wrist nervously.Fang Yu's frown deepened and he subtly manipulated Aphrodite's power to tug at the colourful hue around the nervous girl. The maid suddenly felt all her nervousness deflate like a balloon and the strong urge to speak came over her."It's just that you explicitly stated to destroy all the mirrors on the planet. The one beside you is the only exception because it was Sovereign Father's gift to you before he passed away, and even then, you always turn it away from your view!" After speaking, the maidservant realized she had spoken out of turn and hurriedly shut her mouth. This was after Fang Yu dispelled his remote manipulation of her emotional state.'This dao is indeed powerful, able to sense and tweak the emotions of her targets. But what's this business about having an aversion to mirrors?"To avoid coming across memories unsuitable for his viewing, Fang Yu had skipped most of Aphrodite's personal memories earlier. Now, he h

  • Tsundere Goddess

    Not far away underwater, Fang Yu withdrew away his gaze from the scene upon seeing the situation and settled down to meditate, focusing wholeheartedly on recovering from the few injuries he had left.In this manner, time passed quickly. Before the day ended, he had already returned to his peak state.On a cautious hunch, he decided to ditch his present hideout before proceeding with his temporal traversal. Fortunately, there was no shortage of underwater caves around, so he didn't have to explore for long before he found one remote enough and also relatively comfortable.With all the conditions right, Fang Yu finally entered seclusion, activating the True Self Meditation Art to awaken his psyche within the miniature solar system in his Inner Cosmos. Unlike the previous time, he carefully observed the blazing star in great detail before casting his attention on the planets revolving around it. Of the nine, only one was tangible while the other eight were atavistic at the moment. Upon

  • Mission Accomplished

    Without suspense, the defences of the two cultivators crumbled easily and Fang Yu's dagger stabbed into their hearts, claimed their lives in a bit.As their lifeforce faded, the two cultivators wore incredulous expressions on their faces. But it wasn't really a big deal; they were only at the peak Astral Conduit Realm, and if Fang Yu hadn't refrained from making a move until now because he wanted to use them as scapegoats, they would have died way earlier."This...." Su Tao witnessed the act and fell into a daze.Why did Fang Yu's act of killing these two look so...simple? These were the same people who had seemed quite mighty only a moment ago."Grab on to me tightly. My hands are full, I won't catch you if you slip," Fang Yu reminded Su Tao. Afterwards, he controlled the Sun Core within him to activate fully and initiated rapid siphoning.Whoosh!In a brilliant flash of lights, the island was suddenly bathed in resplendent sun rays. Below, cultivators and mortals strained their eye

  • Night Flight

    The two cultivators and Fang Yu exchanged glances. One of the former took a deep breath and gingerly asked, "Ball of colourful lights, you said?""Yes. It's also bouncy and squishy.""........"'So he did receive an inheritance under those lights earlier?' Cultivator Two's eyes flickered as he gazed intently at Su Tao.Cultivator One's gaze was just as fiery and he glanced at Fang Yu to note his reaction. The latter's face betrayed no emotion.'This dude is not only foolish but also suicidal,' Fang Yu quietly added another description to Su Tao's profile in his mind.His plan was originally to make both Su Tao and the cultivator pair take the fall for him while he made away with the origin residue after siphoning most of its energy. After all, the former was likely passively protected by the secret realm itself while the latter duo had ill intentions and deserved any harm that came their way. However, he was feeling a bit hesitant right now.Even in clear danger, the merchant was so c

  • Schemes and Drinks

    Eventually, Fang Yu gave up on the idea of snatching away the origin residue using this method.The plan was too risky, especially in plain sight, not to mention he would become the common target of everyone once noticed, which was bound to happen. After all, it was a pipe dream to expect to drain the energy of the flaming core conspicuously.A multitude of other ideas appeared in Fang Yu's mind and he considered them one after the other. Eventually, he settled on a particular plan which had the highest success rate.'The only thing is that the method requires a bit of luck. Hopefully, I have some of that!' Fang Yu got to his feet and straightened his posture. With a flourish, he jumped down from the cliff and moved towards the area of the island populated with cultivators.*******Meanwhile, Su Tao, the flamboyant merchant, was having the time of his life.Who would have thought that he, an ordinary mortal with only a couple of successful businesses to his name, would have this sort
