Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 964 Open!

boom--! ! !
A deafening explosion!

At the critical moment, Fang Yu crossed his arms, his strength surging wildly through his arm bones, and managed to block the furious blow!
However, how could a full-force attack from a Sixth Soul Realm expert be easily countered? The incomparably violent power was like a flood bursting its banks, instantly shattering Fang Yu's defensive stance! He felt excruciating pain in both arms, as if his bones were about to be shattered. He was like a battering ram, sent flying backward without any suspense, like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the thick stone wall of the courtyard!

"Boom——!!!"

Stone chips flew everywhere, and dust filled the air! A huge, human-shaped hole was smashed into the solid stone wall, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly outwards!
"Elder Protector of Faith!?!"

Elder Yan Jin's roar, filled with shock and rage, reverberated through the night sky! His eyes were wide open, blazing with fury! Fang Yu was someone he had personally pledged to protect, yet Hu Xin had shown such ruthlessness, attacking him so brazenly right before his eyes. This was not only an attempt to kill Fang Yu, but also a blatant trampling of his authority! Moreover, the mystery of Lulu's fate had not yet been solved; Hu Xin's actions were utterly unreasonable!

Seeing that Elder Huxin had succeeded in his attack and was about to rush into the dusty hole with a murderous intent, Elder Yanjin's figure suddenly flashed, and with a resolute intention, he blocked Elder Huxin's way!

"Elder Yan Jin!" Elder Hu Xin's voice was icy cold, like a chilling wind from the depths of hell. "What do you mean by this? I am cleaning up the Juemen sect and killing traitors! I am also avenging my disciple who died tragically! And you, you want to block my way?!" Every word he spoke was like an ice bead falling, his killing intent resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Elder Protector!" Elder Yan Jin said urgently, suppressing his anger, "There are still many unanswered questions! Lulu's life is hanging in the balance! Spare his life! I will investigate and handle this matter thoroughly! For my sake..."

"roll!"

A single, cold, contemptuous, and impatient word, like a heavy hammer, shattered Elder Yan Jin's subsequent words and completely extinguished his last hope of mediation.

At the same time, amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a violent, ferocious aura, imbued with an indomitable will, suddenly erupted!
Fang Yu slowly straightened up in the dust. With his Yuan Demon Body fully activated, he moved his right arm, which was numb and in excruciating pain from blocking. The bones made a slight cracking sound. Then, he provocatively beckoned his finger towards Elder Huxin!

"You old bastard!" Fang Yu's voice pierced through the dust, filled with untamed fighting spirit and boundless rage. "Get over here! I've given Lord Yan Jin some face and tolerated him time and time again, but who the hell do you think you are?! One or two of you, do you really think I have no temper?!"

Faced with Elder Yan Jin, Fang Yu, bound by friendship and promises, could only back down again and again, unwilling to truly break off relations. But facing this seemingly out-of-nowhere, aggressive Elder Hu Xin who treated him like dirt, the anger in his heart had already been completely ignited!
So what if I killed your demon disciple? A dignified elder of the Juemen Sect dared to openly accept a demon as a disciple. If this matter were to spread throughout the world, it would be self-evident whose side the righteous side would be on!

"Good! Good! Good! You've got guts, kid!" Elder Huxin laughed in fury, uttering three "good"s in succession. Each word was like a shard of ice squeezed from between his teeth, carrying a hatred that even the waters of the Three Rivers and Five Lakes could not wash away. "If I don't grind you to dust and scatter your ashes today, and tear your soul from your body, I'll write the name 'Huxin' backwards!!"

Seeing Fang Yu's provocation, Elder Yan Jin was greatly alarmed and shouted sharply, "Diao Deyi! Don't be impulsive! Retreat immediately! You are no match for Elder Huxin! Avoid his sharp edge! Avoid his sharp edge!!!"

However, what answered him was a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air!

"Hmm——!"

Fang Yu's right arm suddenly swung, and in an instant, the flesh and blood of his arm receded, hardened, and reformed! Grim white bones burst forth from his body, instantly condensing into a ferocious, sharp, and enormous bone blade exuding a chilling aura of death! The sharp blade tip gleamed with a pale light under the moonlight, pointing straight and fearlessly at the murderous Elder of the Guardian!
"My sword—" Fang Yu's voice boomed like thunder, and an unprecedented, unrestrained, and powerful aura erupted from his body like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting!
"It's not necessarily a bad thing!!!"

The aura of the peak of the Pearl Soul Realm was immediately apparent.

In Elder Huxin's eyes, this momentum was like an ant trying to shake a tree, only making him a laughingstock! He even wanted to laugh out loud at this arrogant fool who didn't know his own limitations.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened!

Fang Yu's aura didn't remain at the peak of the Pearl Soul realm. Like a fuse ignited, it began to surge wildly at an astonishing speed! It climbed higher and higher! Seemingly without end!

Because, in his heart, a cold and resolute command had already been issued:

"System, give me some points! Let me see your limits!"

This illogical, rocket-like surge in momentum made Elder Huxin, who was filled with killing intent, jump in surprise, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes—could this kid be hiding some earth-shattering trump card?!
at the same time……

"boom--!!!"

An aura far more powerful, purer, and more violent than before erupted from Fang Yu's body, like molten lava suppressed for millennia bursting through the earth's crust! His wildly escalating aura finally reached an unprecedented peak at the height of the initial stage of the Intelligence Soul Realm! The surrounding dust was violently pushed aside by this aura, forming a clear circular domain!

This imposing scene, when witnessed by Elder Huxin, evoked a dramatic shift in his emotions—from initial surprise and wariness, to a subtle astonishment upon seeing Fang Yu's final realm, and finally to a complete sense of relief mixed with extreme cruelty, ecstasy, and contempt!

"Hahahaha!!!" Elder Huxin burst into deafening laughter, his voice filled with mockery and glee. "I thought you, you little bastard, were hiding some earth-shattering method! Turns out you've only barely broken through to the Wisdom Soul Realm! You haven't even touched the threshold of the Six Souls Realm! Truly a frog in a well, ignorant of the immensity of the world!!"

His laughter abruptly ceased, his eyes hardening with murderous intent. "Today, I will teach you a lesson you'll never forget—without breaking through your six souls, you'll forever remain an ant! Die, you old man!!!"

Before the words were even finished, Elder Huxin's figure had already transformed into a black streak of light that tore through space, accompanied by a destructive gale, rushing straight towards Fang Yu in the dust! The speed was so fast that only a blur remained in place!
Elder Yan Jin, standing to the side, suddenly had an unbelievable look of surprise in his eyes!
In a short period of time, he broke through the Heart Soul Realm and directly reached the Wisdom Soul Realm! Such talent and such progress are simply astonishing!
His love for talent instantly reached its peak! However, this joy was immediately overwhelmed by a huge sense of crisis—the Guardian Elder's attack was already in front of Fang Yu!
"Not good! Elder Huxin, spare them!!!" Elder Yan Jin's eyes were bloodshot as he roared wildly, his figure shooting out at the same time in an attempt to rescue them.

But, it's too late!

Elder Huxin's iron fan had already fallen! At some point, a sharp blade, as thin as a cicada's wing and gleaming with a cold, eerie blue light, had sprung out from the edge of the fan!
The fan blade sliced ​​through the air, emitting a sharp, mournful sound like cloth being torn apart, as if the space itself had been cleaved open!
The violent energy condensed on the fan blade, forming an indestructible arc of death light, which mercilessly slashed down towards Fang Yu's neck!
"You brat! Prepare to die!!!"

Faced with this terrifying attack that could instantly dismember a cultivator at the Soul Intelligence Realm, Fang Yu made a move that surprised everyone!

He didn't dodge! He didn't avoid! He didn't retreat!

Instead, his feet suddenly sank downwards!
"Pfft!"

He crushed the hard ground as if it were tofu, his feet sinking deep into the mud!
Immediately afterwards, the muscles in his legs bulged, the dark red patterns under his skin shone brightly, and countless fine and tough withered tree-like roots burst out of his body, like the roots of a giant tree, and frantically burrowed into the depths of the earth beneath his feet!

He was actually going to use this strange posture to firmly root himself in the earth and directly confront Elder Huxin's sure-kill attack!
"boom--!!!"

The deafening impact rang out again!
"Sizzle—!!!"

A piercing tearing sound followed immediately!
Blood gushed out from Fang Yu's shoulder like a fountain!

His entire upper body was thrown backward by the overwhelming force, his arms crossed to desperately brace against the deadly iron fan blade, his bones groaning under the unbearable strain!

His lower body, along with the withered tree roots that were deeply embedded in the earth, was forced to collapse downwards by this terrifying force!
Dirt flew everywhere, and stones scattered in all directions!
Fang Yu was like a wooden stake driven into the ground by a giant hammer; his lower body was completely submerged in the cracked ground, leaving only his bloodied and violently trembling upper body exposed to the air!

The Six Souls Realm expert unleashed a furious attack, its ferocity reaching such heights!

Even Elder Yan Jin, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but feel a sudden tightness in his heart when he witnessed the power of Elder Hu Xin's all-out iron fan strike!
The force was overwhelming, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek; the gusts of wind alone whipped up sand and stones from the ground.

He made a cold assessment in his mind in an instant.

If he were to take this attack head-on, he would probably suffer broken bones and injuries, let alone Fang Yu, whose strength is clearly inferior!
With that blow, how could the young man possibly survive?!
Elder Yan Jin's heart was in his throat, and he anxiously turned his gaze to where Fang Yu was.

However, the expected tragic scene of Fang Yu dying on the spot did not occur. Instead, what came into view was a bizarre scene that made his pupils shrink slightly - Fang Yu, who should have been crushed to pieces under the heavy pressure, slowly raised his head amidst the swirling dust and raging energy storm, with a chilling calmness!
At the same time, the expression on Elder Huxin's face, which had been contorted and grotesque from his all-out attack, froze instantly, replaced by a deep look of astonishment.

He clearly felt that his full-force attack, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, had indeed struck Fang Yu squarely!

The power of this attack was so great that he even saw Fang Yu's shoulder bone shatter and fly away on the spot, but it was instantly repaired and covered by the withered bone armor. Even so, the injury should have been very serious.

So, this kid is still alive?

After a moment of astonishment, his face immediately contorted with rage. He tried to pull back the steel fan embedded in Fang Yu's body to launch another attack, but instead found an unusually strong and sticky resistance coming from the fan.

His prized iron fan was bitten tightly by a human mouth that had strangely "grown" from the bone armor on Fang Yu's shoulder!
The mouth was so lifelike, with distinct lips and teeth, that it even carried a chilling "vitality." Its realism far surpassed that of a mere skeleton temporarily conjured up; it was more like a living person forcibly embedded in armor, exuding an indescribable sense of eeriness and unease.

Even more chilling changes are yet to come!

Glug... Glug glug...

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding wriggling sound, the bone armor on Fang Yu's other shoulder rose and fell violently and expanded as if it were alive. Then, a complete human head actually "emerged" out of the bone armor!

The newborn head had all the facial features, but its eyes were empty and carried a chilling stillness.

Just as Fang Yu's true form grinned a cold, mocking smile at the Elder Protector, the head on his shoulder suddenly opened its mouth—

puff! ! !
A thick, inky, foul-smelling, highly toxic mist, like a burst dam of poison, rushed straight towards Elder Huxin's face!
The true form is three heads!
This poisonous fog was originally extremely vicious, but at this moment, due to the Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra circulating in Fang Yu's body, it underwent a change, and the poisonous gas was mixed with wisps of scorching red heat waves!
The originally cold poison and the extremely hot heat strangely merged, forming a deadly mixture with conflicting properties but doubled power. Instantly, Elder Huxin, who was standing close by, felt a strong threat of skin stinging and difficulty breathing!

"Hmph! A little trick!"

Elder Huxin, after all, possessed profound cultivation and remained calm in the face of danger.

He snorted angrily, and his powerful aura suddenly erupted, like an invisible hurricane rising from the ground, instantly dispersing and driving away the strange poisonous mist mixed with heat. However, the iron fan remained firmly held in place by that strange mouth, not moving an inch.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He abandoned his fan and, using the momentum from dispersing the poisonous mist, his right leg tore through the air like a steel whip, kicking with immense force towards Fang Yu's chest! This kick was as swift as lightning, determined to shatter his sternum!

But Fang Yu reacted even faster!

As if he had anticipated this move, just as the fatal kick was about to hit him, Fang Yu's hand shot out like a ghost and precisely grabbed Elder Huxin's ankle! Immediately afterward, his other hand flashed back and lightly struck Elder Huxin's outside thigh.

The force of this palm strike seemed weak, even somewhat comical, causing Elder Huxin to feel a slight, disdainful sneer.

However, before the smile could fully bloom on his face, it froze and twisted instantly!
Because Fang Yu coldly uttered two words:
"Open the tree."
