Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 926 Three Strikes of the Wooden Fish
Whoosh!!!!

A sharp, ear-piercing sound rang out!

The violent impact immediately struck the pale white bone sphere.

The bone ball instantly transformed into a pale white streak of light.

With a terrifying speed several times faster than when Fang Yu himself had unleashed his power before, he instantly disappeared from Qian Jinxun's sight!

Only a faint bloody afterimage remained, along with the heavy stench of blood that filled the air!
"what?!"

This time, even with Qianjin Xun's shrewdness and strength, he couldn't help but change his expression drastically!
The speed at which the bone ball exploded was so fast that even he, the dignified hall master, was suddenly left far behind!

More importantly... this method!

This bizarre bone ball, this gushing waterfall of blood!
This is absolutely not any known technique in the Foolish Underworld, much less something that Feng Hanhai could master!
Something's not right! This whole thing seems off no matter how you look at it.

For the hall master, the martial arts techniques of most of the warriors within the Foolish Underworld are quite transparent.

Not to mention that the position of captain requires direct responsibility to the hall master.

Therefore, each hall master has a general idea of ​​what techniques each captain has practiced, their approximate strength range, and what killer moves they have hidden.

For example, Captain Feng's stealth-related techniques are what Master Qian expected of him. The methods shown here are simply not abilities Captain Feng should possess.

A person's appearance and physique are relatively easy to imitate, but martial arts techniques are very difficult to find similar ones unless planned for many years.

Therefore... the identity of the person in front is absolutely questionable!
Suddenly.

A name, along with previous case records, struck Qian Jinxun's mind like lightning!
I remember the records described the martial arts technique the other party used as being similar to this...

Is it...

impossible!
but……

No! There's no mistake, it's him!
"Diao...De Yi?!"

"You're that Diao Deyi, aren't you?!"

"No wonder! No wonder that woman Ya Qingli took such good care of you!"

"Good! Very good! You killed my captain of the Foolish Underworld first, and then you broke into my prison as a serious criminal! Today, even if you have extraordinary abilities, you won't escape this capital city!!"

Qianjin Xun had basically confirmed the other party's identity, so she was completely enraged!

The humiliation of being mocked burned his reason like poisonous fire!

But in his rage, an even more intense greed instantly overwhelmed his fury.

This kid actually possesses such a bizarre and powerful technique?!

His eyes flashed with a fierce light, revealing that he held nothing back!

His robes fluttered and rustled even though there was no wind!
A far more powerful aura than before suddenly erupted!

The ground beneath our feet shattered inch by inch!
He transformed into a gray storm that tore through space, his speed soaring to its limit once again as he frantically chased after the direction in which the bone sphere had disappeared!

Wherever it passed, it left deep cracks in the ground!
"Where do you think you're going?!"

"Equipment - Macour Chaser!!"

Buzz buzz buzz——!!!
A seemingly insignificant black ball at Qianjinxun's waist suddenly emitted a piercing buzz and began to vibrate violently!
The black color on the surface receded like the tide, instantly transforming into a pure and flawless pale white!
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
The next moment, six thick, ink-black wisps of smoke, like evil dragons breaking free from their seals, roared and burst out of the pale white sphere!
They were so fast that they exceeded the limits of visual perception, instantly overtaking the bone ball rushing ahead!

However, these six plumes of black smoke did not attack the bone sphere. Instead, they suddenly exploded in specific locations in front of, to the left and right of, above and behind the bone sphere!
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The moment the black smoke burst out, six enormous walls of black smoke, exuding an ominous aura, rose from the ground out of thin air!

The walls were connected to each other, fitting together seamlessly, instantly forming a huge, completely enclosed smoke cube cage in the air!
Not only did it trap the bone ball that had just caught up, but it also enveloped Qianjin Xun herself, who was in hot pursuit!

boom! ! !
The high-speed moving bone ball slammed into the oncoming wall of smoke, producing a dull, loud thud as if it had hit solid steel!

The enormous reaction force sent the bone ball bouncing back violently!

"Um?!"

Inside the bone sphere, Fang Yu immediately sensed the abnormality. With a thought, the giant bone sphere enveloping the three of them instantly dissolved and dissipated.

With their vision restored, Fang Yu, Song Zhenrong, and Linghu Xiang reappeared.

Fang Yu's face was ashen as he glanced at the enormous cage made of eerie black smoke.

He keenly noticed a key detail.

Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong's feet were able to pass through the seemingly solid smoke beneath their feet and stand firmly on the stone slabs on the ground!

Only his own feet, as if stepping on a solid, cold, hard ground of smoke, were firmly locked in this cage of smoke!

"Run! Why did you stop running?!"

Qian Jinxun's voice, filled with mockery and anger, echoed like a cold, venomous snake within the cage.

He arrived gracefully, landing steadily not far in front of Fang Yu, his eyes fixed on Fang Yu with a sinister gaze.

Qianjin Xun was indeed somewhat annoyed at this moment.

He was the dignified master of the Foolish Underworld, whose strength was unparalleled in the region.

He was repeatedly outmaneuvered by an unknown junior, forcing him to resort to his trump card!
This was a disgrace to him!

He would rather believe that the other party had used some underhanded tricks than admit that the other party could compete with him in terms of hard power!
However, the matter has now been settled.

Within this isolated cage formed by "True Cage Shadow Chase," the opponent is already trapped like a turtle in a jar!
He wanted to see what kind of waves this slippery little mudfish could make!
Seeing Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong instinctively shrink back behind Fang Yu out of fear, Qian Jinxun curled her lips into a cruel sneer.

He was pleased with the fear in the eyes of the two prisoners whose fingers he had personally cut off.

He slowed his pace, like a cat playing with a mouse, approaching step by step with a powerful sense of pressure.

His gaze finally locked onto Fang Yu. At that moment, Fang Yu was tentatively throwing another punch at the wall of smoke beside him!
Boom!
A dull thud!

The smoke wall remained unmoved, and a powerful recoil force traveled through Fang Yu's fist, causing his arm to go slightly numb!
"Hmph! Useless!"

Upon seeing this, Qianjin Xun sneered, his tone filled with condescending disdain.

"This is the power of the 'True Cage Shadow Chaser' artifact! It locks the body and traps the shadow! Unless you have the strength of the Sixth Soul Realm, you won't be able to budge this cage in the slightest!"

He could almost see the despair on the other person's face.

Qianjin Xun was no longer in a hurry.

He leisurely played with an antique ring on his finger.

He abandoned his previous furious demeanor and instead spoke with righteous indignation, like a judge, sternly rebuking Fang Yu:

"Diao Deyi! How dare you! You murdered Captain Feng Hanhai of my Foolish Underworld and then used him to infiltrate my Foolish Underworld to rob a serious criminal! Every single one of these acts is an unforgivable crime! Do you know what heinous crimes you have committed?!"

He had actually figured out Fang Yu's true identity?!

Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong were shocked upon hearing this.

His face instantly turned extremely pale, and his eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Only Fang Yu remained calm and composed, as if he were not the one who had been exposed.

Qian Jinxun, believing this to be his first real confrontation with Fang Yu, acted with considerable caution, attempting to exert pressure through words. Unbeknownst to him, the two had already indirectly clashed when Fang Yu first began operating in the capital wearing a mask, though Fang Yu had narrowly escaped his detection at that time.

"You're really... pushing me too far."

Fang Yu, who had Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong firmly behind him, slowly raised his head and looked calmly at Qian Jinxun. However, deep in his eyes, there seemed to be a cold flame burning.

"What? Finally faced reality and want to fight me to the death?" Qian Jinxun stopped steadily at what he considered an absolutely safe distance, looking down at Fang Yu with a cold sneer on his lips. "Do you have the qualifications?"

[Qianjin Xun: 40000/40000.]

"Are you qualified...?"

[Lifespan: 386779/386779.]

Fang Yu's gaze swept over the health bar above his head, his expression becoming somewhat solemn.

But when he thought of himself trapped in the cage and looked at his two seriously injured companions behind him, his face darkened again.

If he could, he really didn't want to fight this powerful figure in front of him.

The opponent's level is clearly higher than mine, so even if I have an advantage in health, the fight will inevitably be extremely dangerous.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that the opponent is definitely not at the Sixth Soul Realm!
Fang Yu had experienced that kind of absolute pressure originating from the level of life itself in the clan, but it was completely different from the feeling he had in front of Qianjin Xun.

"I really don't want to fight you,"

Fang Yu's voice was unusually calm, yet it carried an undeniable resolve.

"But unfortunately, I still owe both of them a favor. So today, either you die here, or... you make way for me."

“What a big tone!!”

Qianjin Xun was so angry that he laughed instead, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world!
As the master of a hall in the Foolish Underworld of the capital, he was rarely matched with anyone below the Six Souls Realm!
If he weren't stuck in a bottleneck, with his strength and background, his status would be far beyond what he is today!

This kid, who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, dares to spout such nonsense?!
They were like clowns, utterly ridiculous!

However, it should have been a crushing defeat.

The other party's calm, almost indifferent expression, and their unwavering stance of truly facing the enemy, stirred a subtle sense of unease in Qian Jinxun, who was naturally suspicious.

Could it be... that this kid really has something to rely on?
Do you really think you can stand up to me?

Impossible! It's definitely a bluff!
Just moments ago, they were being chased like stray dogs, fleeing in panic. Now, what gives them the right to do so?
"You two go first."

Fang Yu ignored Qian Jinxun and, without turning his head, whispered instructions to Song Zhenrong and Linghu Xiang behind him, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Go to the Ouyang residence... Once you arrive, someone will meet you."

The smoke cage only trapped Fang Yu; it did not restrict Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong's movements!

Even Qianjin Xun couldn't overcome this. The effects of tools are often fixed and inflexible.

Moreover, in Qian Jinxun's eyes, these two "bait" had already completed their mission and caught Fang Yu, the "big fish".

Whether the bait lives or dies is no longer a concern for him.

"Then what will you do?!"

Linghu Xiang grabbed Fang Yu's arm urgently, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and reluctance.

"Let's go!" Song Zhenrong was far calmer and more rational than Linghu Xiang. He knew that staying would only be a fatal burden.

He grabbed Linghu Xiang's arm and said in a deep voice.

"We are seriously injured and can barely stand. Staying here will not only be of no help, but will also hinder Lord Diao's actions! Let's go!"

He tried to forcibly take Linghu Xiang away.

However, Linghu Xiang was unusually stubborn, remaining rooted to the spot, her eyes fixed on Fang Yu's back, determined not to leave!

Fang Yu turned his head slightly to look into her eyes, which were filled with worry and determination. He said only two words, his voice low but carrying a reassuring strength:
"rest assured."

Before he finished speaking, he pressed his fingers together like a knife, as fast as lightning, lightly pressing on the back of Linghu Xiang's neck!
"Uh..." Linghu Xiang groaned, her body went limp, and she instantly fainted.

Fang Yu gently handed the unconscious Linghu Xiang to Song Zhenrong and whispered, "Take good care of her."

"understand!"

Song Zhenrong nodded emphatically, giving Fang Yu a complicated look.

Without further hesitation, he picked up Linghu Xiang.

He turned around and ran towards the edge of the cage with all his might!

Qian Jin Xun completely disregarded this, not even bothering to lift an eyelid.

His entire focus was now fixed on Fang Yu.

Seeing Fang Yu's calm and composed demeanor, Qian Jinxun's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"I see……"

He seemed to understand why the Palace Master Ya Qingli treated this kid with such special regard.

This kind of mentality is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, he was a criminal!
It might even be... a demon disguised as a human!
"You ignorant brat."

Qian Jin Xun snorted coldly, a cruel smile like a cat catching a mouse appearing on his face.

He slowly took something out of his pocket.

It was a wooden fish that was completely black, with an ancient shape and strange runes carved on its surface.

Fang Yu frowned slightly as he looked at the strange wooden fish, a strong sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

He is not afraid of a direct confrontation, but if it is a tool or some strange ability... the situation becomes unpredictable.

"You are truly lucky to have your cultivation technique worthy of my attention."

Qian Jin Xun gently stroked the black wooden fish in her hand, her tone carrying an arrogant air of condescension.

It was as if his subsequent actions would lack a certain "ritual" without this "explanation."

"This item is called—Wooden Fish Three-Standard."

He raised the wooden fish, a cold and eerie smile curving his lips.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Three clear, ethereal sounds, seemingly carrying a soul-piercing power, suddenly rang out within the smoke-filled cage!

With these three strikes, the dark surface of the wooden fish shone with a bright, eerie light!
An invisible, unsettling wave spread out instantly!

Fang Yu felt a sudden tightness in his chest!
It was as if something cold, viscous, invisible and intangible had ignored all his defenses and directly imprinted itself into the depths of his soul!

An extremely bizarre and unsettling "connection" was forcibly established between him and Qian Jinxun!
"What is this?!"

Fang Yu's expression finally changed! This was no ordinary martial art! This strange connection originating from the soul level made him feel an unprecedented threat!
