Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 960 Spare Me?

Bang!
With a muffled bang, veins bulged out like writhing dragons beneath Fang Yu's skin, turning a ferocious and terrifying crimson! A suffocatingly terrifying pressure, like an invisible tsunami, erupted from him, sweeping across the entire hall!

This sudden, almost tangible sense of oppression caused even the highly skilled Elder Yan Jin to instantly become solemn, his brows furrowed, and his internal energy involuntarily accelerated to resist it. As for Senior Sister Lulu, who was directly under the pressure, she felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her! Her body instantly stiffened, her blood seemed to freeze, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Diao Deyi... is actually... this ruthless?!

Lulu's heart was filled with turmoil.

She always treated Fang Yu as a useful pawn, ordering him around and never truly valuing his abilities.

Even though Fang Yu miraculously succeeded in eradicating the demons of the Zong family in his last mission, she stubbornly believed that it was the result of Elder Yan Jin's secret assistance and that it was just luck.

That's why she felt comfortable sending the capable Qian Wu to deal with this "hidden danger".

However, feeling the aura emanating from Fang Yu, which was like that of a ferocious beast from the primordial era... it was no wonder that Qian Wu died at his hands!

"Could it be... I misjudged him?" This thought flashed through Lulu's mind like lightning, and immense fear instantly gripped her heart. Almost instinctively, she gripped the hem of Elder Yan Jin's robe tightly, her voice shrill with extreme terror: "Lord Yan Jin!!!"

She was terrified that Fang Yu would turn into a blur and appear in front of her in an instant, killing her on the spot!

Senior Sister Lulu is not without strength. She once followed Lord Tang and received his meticulous guidance, so her foundation is solid and her potential is considerable. But... she is too young. No matter how great the potential, it needs time to mature and be honed before it can truly shine. And Senior Sister Lulu lacks precisely this crucial period of maturation.

Since Lord Tang's death, she has been deeply embroiled in the complex power struggles within the sect, exhausting herself in the process.

After arriving in the capital, he immediately began to navigate the complex relationships between various factions and handle all sorts of thorny issues.

She was like a taut string, unable to stop, and afraid to stop.

She had finally seized this opportunity to avenge Lord Tang, and she was willing to pay any price for it, including sacrificing the advancement of her own cultivation.

In her view, she now has a wealth of talented people under her command, and she no longer needs to do many things personally.

However, her stagnant strength also brought a fatal weakness—in front of truly top-tier masters, she was as vulnerable as a lamb to the slaughter, and could be easily crushed at any time.

For example, Fang Yu right in front of us.

Judging from the aura he was unleashing at this moment, aura powerful enough to put pressure on even a Sixth Soul Realm expert, Senior Sister Lulu would probably not even have the slightest chance to resist him! The difference between the two was like an insurmountable chasm!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Several bursts of deathly white bone powder exploded from Fang Yu's body! This bone powder rapidly condensed and covered his skin, forming a hard, chilling layer of white bone armor! And that wasn't all—

"Demonization".

Fang Yu uttered two words softly.

The white bone armor covering his entire body instantly underwent a transformation, its color turning a deep, withered gray-black, its texture becoming like the bark of a weathered tree, and its form becoming even more ferocious and terrifying, clearly entering a more powerful Yuan Demon Body form! Coupled with the enhancement from the shattered demonic sword "Blood Dry" within his body…

At this moment, Fang Yu's aura and power have both reached an unprecedented peak!
Under this earth-shattering aura, not only Senior Sister Lulu, but even Elder Yan Jin, a powerful expert at the Sixth Soul Realm, felt unprecedented pressure, and fine beads of sweat even seeped from his forehead.

"This kid... good! good! good!" Elder Yan Jin was both surprised and delighted. "He truly deserves the talent I've chosen! He hasn't even reached the Six Souls Realm yet, but he already possesses such terrifying power and strength! With such talent and potential, his future achievements... are truly limitless!"

However, despite his admiration, Elder Yan Jin remained remarkably clear-headed.

He absolutely could not allow Fang Yu to kill the representative of the Juemen in front of him, at the Juemen's stronghold in the capital!
This is not only a slap in the face for him, but also a serious provocation against the dignity of the Absolute Clan!
Therefore, he took a step to the side without hesitation, his burly body like an insurmountable mountain, completely shielding the trembling Lulu behind him, and forming a direct confrontation with Fang Yu, who was filled with murderous intent!

"Elder Yan Jin...?"

Fang Yu paused noticeably, a complex hesitation flashing in his eyes.

This was not out of fear of Elder Yan Jin's strength—he was confident that he could fight back at the moment when he was in full power.

This hesitation stemmed from the genuine and rather harmonious personal relationship he had with Elder Yan Jin.

One moment you're humbly accepting guidance from the other, the next you're about to turn on each other? That's really... hard to say.

However, when his gaze swept over the face behind Elder Yan Jin, a face filled with terror and resentment—Lulu! Fang Yu's killing intent flared up again like a fire doused with oil!
"Elder Yan Jin," Fang Yu's voice was icy, carrying an undeniable determination, "He who kills will be killed. It was Lulu who was ruthless and unjust first, sending people to take my life. Today I am here only to seek justice! I beg you, Elder... not to stop me!"

Elder Yan Jin's face instantly darkened to a grim degree. He slowly and heavily turned his head, his gaze like a knife, piercing Lulu, whose face was deathly pale, behind him.

"Is this really true?" His voice was terrifyingly low, each word carrying the fury of thunder. He had still had doubts when Fang Yu mentioned it earlier; but now, with Fang Yu's resolute accusation and Lulu's undisguised fear, Elder Yan Jin was already eighty or ninety percent convinced.

He had clearly expressed his opinion of Fang Yu and even hinted at taking him as his disciple! Yet Lulu dared to disobey him and resort to such a vicious act behind his back! This was utterly a trampling of his authority as an elder!

To say that I wasn't filled with rage would be a lie!
However, Lulu's earlier words, "representing the face of Juemen," now echoed in his ears like a curse. Lulu was, after all, a member of Juemen, the sect's public representative in the capital. If she died mysteriously in the capital, right under his nose as an elder… how could he explain this to the sect leader? How could he explain this to the entire sect? The stakes involved were too high for him to ignore.

"Lord Yan Jin! I'm innocent!" Senior Sister Lulu cried out as if grasping at a last straw, tears streaming down her face. Her voice was mournful and filled with endless grievances. "I have no idea what Young Master Diao is talking about! I never sent anyone to assassinate him! I have no idea what happened! Young Master Diao must have been deceived and fallen for that divisive scheme, trying to sow discord among us fellow disciples! Young Master Diao! Calm down! Please calm down! Let's sit down, calmly sort things out, find the mastermind behind this, and clear my name!"

She was in tears, and her performance was so sincere and moving, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Pretending!" Fang Yu laughed angrily, the last trace of hesitation in his eyes vanishing completely. He stomped forward, the ground bricks cracking inch by inch! At the same time, Elder Yan Jin also unleashed an equally astonishing aura, like an invisible shackle, firmly locking onto Fang Yu, the warning self-evident!

"Elder Yan Jin...?!"

Fang Yu's gaze towards Elder Yan Jin turned utterly cold, like ice frozen solid. If not for their past friendship and the elder's status, he would have already struck with lightning speed, killing Lulu instantly! Even with Elder Yan Jin blocking his way, he was absolutely confident that he could withstand the pressure and forcefully kill Lulu!

But... what about Elder Yan Jin...?

Moreover, hadn't Elder Yan Jin privately hinted that their shared "trouble" was Lulu? Now that he was willing to be the "bad guy," why was Elder Yan Jin trying to stop him?

Fang Yu was confused, but his killing intent was made up, and he no longer hesitated.

"If you have something to say, sit down and talk. If you insist on resorting to violence,"

Elder Yan Jin's body temperature soared, and crimson flames emanated from his body. Even the air behind him distorted due to the high temperature, forcing Senior Sister Lulu to let go and retreat repeatedly. Sweat instantly soaked her temples. "You'll have to get past me first!" His words were resolute and unquestionable.

"Young Master Diao! I told you it was all a misunderstanding! I never sent anyone to kill you! Why won't you believe me!" Senior Sister Lulu's scream rang out again, like a demonic sound. Instead of calming Fang Yu's anger, it was like a spark splashed into a hot oil pan, instantly igniting the violent killing desire deep in his heart that had been suppressed and originated from his demonic bloodline!
"Woman, you're... playing with fire."

boom! ! !
The moment the last word was uttered, Fang Yu's figure had already vanished from the spot! Only a sonic boom wave generated by his extreme speed remained in his place!

"Diao Deyi!!!"

Elder Yan Jin's roar reverberated throughout the hall! His pupils shrank, his heart filled with shock at Fang Yu's speed, but the reaction of a Sixth Soul Realm expert was also extraordinary! Almost at the same time as Fang Yu started, his body instinctively reacted!
boom!boom!boom!boom!
A series of rapid, chilling sounds of fists and feet colliding exploded like popping beans! The force of the impact tore the tables and chairs in the hall to shreds in an instant! Senior Sister Lulu only saw a blur before her eyes; the two figures were so fast that only blurry afterimages remained, and she couldn't see the specific details of the fight at all!
However, this violent collision lasted only a moment!
Just as Senior Sister Lulu was still in shock, an irresistible force suddenly gripped her slender neck! A sharp pain shot through her, and her legs instantly left the ground. Like a chick being lifted up, she was held high in the air by a large hand covered in armor resembling withered tree bark, her neck tightly gripped!

"Uh... Young Master Diao?!" Senior Sister Lulu's eyes widened, filled with extreme fear and disbelief! She never expected that even with Elder Yan Jin, a powerful expert at the Sixth Soul Realm, doing his best to stop her, she would still be captured by Fang Yu so easily, like a lamb to the slaughter!

Death! The chilling aura of death instantly engulfed her completely!

I can't die! I absolutely cannot die here!

Lord Tang's blood feud has yet to be avenged!
Lord Tang's lifelong ambition of a world without demons has yet to be realized!
If I were to die now, how could I face Lord Tang in the afterlife?!

"Spare me...spare me! Young Master Diao, spare me!"

Overwhelmed by the immense fear of suffocation and death, Senior Sister Lulu completely broke down. She screamed desperately, her voice hoarse and distorted from being choked.

"It's Qian Wu! It's Elder Huxin! Elder Huxin wants your 'masked man' identity! He ordered me to find an opportunity to get rid of you so that his people could take your place and make it easier for him to operate in the capital! I was just... I was just following orders! I had no choice!"

In order to save her own life, she didn't hesitate to pull out Elder Huxin.

At the same time, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Elder Yan Jin slowly rising from a pile of shattered wood and stone ruins not far away. In that lightning-fast exchange just now, Fang Yu had clearly not held back at all.

"Cough cough...Good lad..." Elder Yan Jin wiped away a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth. His face was no longer filled with the admiration he had shown before, but only with deep disappointment and heartache. "I never thought...you would be so ruthless when you attacked me!" His heavy words struck Fang Yu's heart like a hammer blow.

Hearing these hurtful words, Fang Yu felt a surge of intense irritation, and even... dared not look at Elder Yan Jin's expression.

"I'm just... here to get justice!" He turned his back to Elder Yan Jin, forcing his voice to remain cold.

"The justice you seek," Elder Yan Jin's voice was low and suppressed, his gaze fixed intently on Fang Yu's back as he gripped Lulu's throat, "Lulu has already been given to you!"

The spiritual energy within his body began to surge like a volcano, his muscles bulged, and his aura rose once again.

He was merely a gatekeeper of the Sixth Soul Realm, but he was, after all, a genuine Sixth Soul Realm expert!

In their previous encounter, he was both shocked by Fang Yu's strength and held back due to their personal relationship.

Fang Yu, however, attacked in anger, going all out. This shift in power resulted in Fang Yu suffering a minor loss.

But now, he won't hold back anymore!
"She's lying! You and I both know it!"

Fang Yu's voice was filled with suppressed anger, and the hand gripping Lulu's throat began to slowly tighten.

Under the immense pressure, Lulu's face instantly turned from deathly pale to a terrifying purplish-red, her eyes rolled back, her legs kicked futilely in the air, and she made suffocating "hoarse" sounds in her throat, like a fish out of water.

Compared to Elder Yan Jin, Lulu's strength does indeed seem... utterly insignificant.

"But she has already given an explanation!"

Elder Yan Jin stared intently at Fang Yu's back, which exuded a fierce aura, and spoke in a deep voice, each word carrying undeniable weight.

"For my sake, accept this explanation! Spare her life! Let Lulu and I pretend this never happened! Tomorrow, when the sun rises, everything will be as usual! What do you say?"
