Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 1032 Reasonable
however.

Faced with Baron's seemingly fierce attack, which contained the power of his entire life, Fang Yu didn't even glance at him.

He simply raised his right hand casually and flicked it in mid-air in the direction Baron was charging from!
boom! !

A faint trace of white powder seemed to flash and disappear in the air!
The bone sword, which existed for only 0.1 seconds, was flung out of his hand.

Then, like a cannonball fired from a gun, it struck Baron's chest with perfect accuracy, arriving first after being fired later!

"Ugh—!"

Baron's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt, as if he had crashed into an invisible steel barrier!

He felt an irresistible force penetrate his body, and a clear cracking sound came from his sternum!

His vision went black, blood gushed out, and he flew backward at an even faster speed than when he charged, crashing like a broken sack onto a street corner dozens of steps away. His eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness completely, his fate unknown.

Hope shattered like a bubble once more. Sid stared blankly at Baron's limp figure, which lay like a dead dog, his last shred of hope completely crushed.

Fang Yu didn't even glance at the unconscious Baron or the distraught Xidi. He walked straight to the carriage, lifted the black cloth, and confirmed that there was indeed a corpse inside.

He casually picked it up and carried it on his shoulder, as if it were just an ordinary object.

Then, he simply said something to Zhuge Shi and Gao Meng, who were standing at a distance:
"Walk."

The three of them didn't linger; their figures rose and fell a few times, and they disappeared.

All that remained was this chaotic street and the eldest son of the Xi family, slumped against the wall, his expression blank.

About an incense stick's time after Fang Yu and the other two left, the once silent street was broken by a series of hurried and heavy footsteps.

Upon hearing the news, it wasn't just the guards responsible for the city gates who rushed to the scene; several sharp-looking members of the Foolish Underworld were also mixed in, indicating that the news had spread extremely quickly, or perhaps the Foolish Underworld simply had very tight surveillance over this area.

The leader looked at the chaotic scene before him.

The broken walls, the cracked ground, the scattered weapons, the guards lying haphazardly on the ground groaning, and the lonely carriage parked in the middle of the street, its black cloth roughly pulled off, completely empty.

His brow furrowed tightly, and he demanded sharply, "What happened here? Who dares to fight and commit violence in the capital?!"

Xidi remained slumped against the wall, staring blankly into the void, as if everything around him was irrelevant. The immense blow had temporarily rendered him unable to react.

However, the leader of the foolish underworld team had a sharp gaze that swept across the entire scene like a hawk, quickly assessing the remaining energy fluctuations and traces of battle. Finally, his gaze settled on Xi Di, who was dressed in luxurious clothes and whose wealthy aura could not be concealed even in his disheveled state.

He stepped forward, his voice low yet carrying an undeniable authority: "Are you the person involved? What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

Startled awake by his deep voice, Xidi raised his head blankly, his eyes vacant. His lips trembled a few times before he managed to utter a hoarse, tearful voice: "Dong... Dong... my goods... were... stolen... all gone..."

He was incoherent, overwhelmed by the immense loss and fear that nearly broke him.

Upon hearing this, the man from the Foolish Underworld's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He seemed to be carefully examining Xi Di's face at this moment. His tone changed slightly, carrying a hint of confirmation and a subtle calculation: "Oh? I wondered who it was. It turns out to be Young Master Xi from the Xi family?"

He stepped forward and, looking down at you, demanded, "What was stolen? How much is it worth? Who stole it from you? Can you see their face and build clearly? What are their distinctive features?"

The questions were fired off in rapid succession, demonstrating a high degree of professionalism and purposefulness.

It was only then that Xidi belatedly realized that the person asking the question was not wearing the dark-colored uniform of an ordinary member of the Foolish Underworld. His shoulder insignia and collar were embroidered with silver cloud patterns that represented a higher rank, clearly indicating that he was a hall master with real power!

A slight chill ran through him, but overwhelming anger and resentment overwhelmed the unease. He grabbed the hall master's sleeve as if grasping at a lifeline, gritting his teeth as he accused, "It's... a very special corpse! Priceless! There were three people who stole it! Two women and one man! That man... his strength is simply inhuman! And that woman in blue, her arms glowed, she was using some kind of special formation!"

Just then, Baron staggered over, supported by two guards whose injuries were relatively minor and who were still able to move.

His face was ashen, his breathing weak, and the makeshift bandage on his chest was soaked with blood, which continued to seep out.

Hearing Xidi's words, he endured the excruciating pain and dizziness that felt like his internal organs were shifting, and added in a weak but unusually clear voice, each word seemingly requiring all his strength: "Master...Master...of those three, the woman who made the move...was indeed using the unique amplification array technique of the Ouyang family...its power...astonishing...definitely not an ordinary trick..."

"The Ouyang family's array formation techniques?!"

Upon hearing this, the Lord of the Foolish Underworld not only did not show any signs of trouble or difficulty, but his eyes instantly shone with an uncontrollable light of surprise!
The newly appointed prefectural lord, who was parachuted in from above, repeatedly ordered his subordinates to do everything in their power to keep a close eye on Diao Deyi, who had close ties with the Ouyang family and was suspected of being involved in several demon incidents and disappearances!

According to reliable intelligence, Diao Deyi has been staying at the Ouyang residence all along.
Moreover, it is said that he has close ties with key figures in the Ouyang family!
Now, this heinous robbery has directly involved the Ouyang family's secret formation, which is never passed down to outsiders. This is simply a golden opportunity!

A perfect excuse to bypass numerous restrictions, openly intervene in investigations, or even directly arrest people!

"Good good!"

The hall master said "good" three times in a row, and couldn't help but show a smile of triumph on his face. He looked at the seemingly crazy Xidi and the dying Baron, and his tone became unusually "kind", but it was with a kind of coldness and no room for refusal, as if a venomous snake was coiling around him.

"Young Master Xi, you've been frightened. However, this matter is probably not a simple robbery; it involves far more than that, and may even be related to certain... sensitive figures. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, recover the lost items, and for your safety, I would like to ask you both to come with me back to the Foolish Underworld. We need to take detailed notes and assist in the investigation."

Despite being the victim, he was being treated like a suspect and taken back to the Foolish Underworld? Xidi instinctively felt immense resistance and a deep-seated sense of foreboding. He struggled to rise and refuse, his voice pleading, "Master! I...I am seriously injured and urgently need medical treatment! And this matter...could you allow me to return to my residence and inform my father first..."

"Hmm?" The hall master's face suddenly darkened, and his seemingly kind eyes instantly turned cold and sharp, like two poisoned daggers piercing straight into Xi Di's heart!
With a clang, half of his gleaming sword was drawn from its sheath. A chilling aura, a mixture of blood and official authority, enveloped Xi Di. His voice was icy cold: "Young Master Xi, are you openly obstructing my Yu Difu's investigation? Or... do you have some shady connection with those thieves?!"

When Xidi was glared at by his murderous eyes and saw the half of the blade gleaming with cold light, he was like a duck being choked. All the words stuck in his throat, his face turned ashen, cold sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall, and he trembled like a leaf. He dared not utter another word.

He instinctively turned his desperate, pleading gaze toward Baron, the only person he could possibly rely on.

Baron sensed the undisguised killing intent of the hall master and the oppressive aura emanating from him, which was at least no weaker than his own at his peak. He secretly groaned and felt a great sense of powerlessness.

He himself is now severely injured and his strength is reduced to less than one-hundredth. His guards are either dead or injured, and the survivors have no fighting spirit. How can he possibly stand up to the powerful Lord of the Foolish Underworld who represents the official violent institution?

He met Xidi's pleading gaze and shook his head almost imperceptibly, his eyes filled with helplessness and warning: do not resist, save your life first.

Seeing that Xidi had completely become obedient and wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, the hall master snorted coldly, flicked his wrist, and his sword clicked precisely back into its sheath.

He waved his hand and gave the order, his tone leaving no room for argument: "Guards! Disperse all bystanders! Seal off the scene! Invite Young Master Xi and all those involved back to the government office for questioning! There must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

The underworld personnel behind him responded in unison and immediately sprang into action, roughly dispersing the people who had been drawn by the firelight and commotion and were pointing and whispering in the distance.

Xidi, Balon, and a few guards who could still barely stand, were escorted by a group of Foolish Underworld personnel with cold and vigilant steps, walking unsteadily towards the direction of Foolish Underworld like prisoners.

Xidi was filled with immense frustration. He had a vague feeling that he had not only lost crucial goods, but was also likely to be drawn into a huge trouble.

……

Meanwhile, after succeeding in their mission, Fang Yu and his two companions, relying on their superb agility and familiarity with the terrain, moved swiftly through the intricate streets and alleys like ghosts, quickly escaping the scene of the incident.

After confirming that it was temporarily safe, Gao Meng stopped at the entrance of a dark alley.

She turned around and said to Fang Yu and Zhuge Shi, "Young Master Diao, Miss Zhuge, now that I have the goods, I have completed most of my mission. I will not go back with you."

She paused, then continued, "This operation has caused quite a stir. Not to mention the Xi family, the Yudifu's noses are sharper than dogs. I need to rush back to Pinxinfang immediately and personally give orders to use the Tianjige's channels and resources to suppress what happened tonight as much as possible. At the very least, we need to blur our features so they can't trace us back to us so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu stopped and looked at Gao Meng.

Although she was quite wary of Gao Meng, she did provide crucial assistance at this moment and offered to clean up the mess, which at least on the surface showed her "sincerity".

Fang Yu nodded, his tone calm: "Thank you for your trouble. I appreciate it."

With the bone tiger corpse, now tightly wrapped in black cloth, on her shoulder, Zhuge Shi was overjoyed. The tension and fatigue from the previous battle seemed to have vanished. She cheerfully chimed in, "That's right, thank you so much for your help, sister!"

Gao Meng smiled gently, her eyes sparkling, but her gaze lingered meaningfully on Fang Yu's calm face for a moment. Her voice carried a subtle allure: "Young Master Diao, you are too kind. Since we are... partners, we should naturally help each other. It's nothing, just a small favor."

She deliberately emphasized the words "collaborator," then said softly, "We... have a long future ahead of us. In a couple of days, once things have calmed down, I will come to find you again to discuss the follow-up details of our 'collaboration.'"

After speaking, she nodded slightly to the two of them, then disappeared into the dense darkness at the other end of the alley without a sound, her movements unpredictable and elusive.

As soon as Gao Meng left, Zhuge Shi couldn't contain her excitement and said to Fang Yu, "Young Master Diao, let's not delay any longer! Let's quickly take the body back to the organization to report!"

Fang Yu naturally had no objections. Finding and bringing back the Bone Tiger's corpse was a crucial step in joining the Nirvana Organization, and he also needed to quickly utilize the resources and power of this mysterious organization to deal with his own curse and potential threats.

The two immediately stopped talking, changed direction, and silently sped toward the Nirvana Organization's stronghold.

……

Nirvana Organization, inside the main hall.

When Zhuge Shi excitedly carried the corpse, which was wrapped tightly in black cloth, to the Secret Rabbit, the Secret Rabbit's usual gentle smile instantly froze, replaced by undisguised astonishment and surprise.

"So fast?"

She walked over quickly and circled the corpse twice.

Although he didn't say anything more, the surprise in his expression hadn't faded.

She stepped forward herself, quickly examined the area, and then looked at Fang Yu, who had been standing silently to the side.

"...That's right, it's the remains of a Bone Tiger. And it's surprisingly well-preserved; the core, the Supreme Golden Petal Flower, still retains some of its activity and hasn't lost much!"

The rabbit looked at Fang Yu with a newfound respect and curiosity. She may have previously regarded Fang Yu as someone with good potential, but now, the efficiency and ability he displayed forced her to place him in a higher position.

She paused, her tone becoming formal and alluring, as if showcasing a rare treasure: "Now that the mission has been successfully completed, according to the organization's rules and our agreement, as long as you nod, we can prepare the ceremony for you at any time to inherit all the Supreme Golden Petal Flower components from the Bone Tiger. This process is somewhat...unusual, and may even involve some pain and risk, but once successful, your bone strength, physical resilience, recovery ability, and all other abilities will experience a qualitative leap, and your strength will undoubtedly see a tremendous increase!"

Zhuge Shi chimed in enthusiastically, her eyes gleaming with anticipation: "That's right! Young Master Diao, once you complete the inheritance ceremony and fully integrate the power of the Bone Tiger, you will rightfully become the new Bone Tiger of our organization! At that time, we will fight side by side! The organization's power will also be at your disposal!"
