Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 969 Accident
Fang Yu expressionlessly tossed the corpse off the bone blade.

As the demonic transformation wore off, the withered wood armor around his body completely disappeared, revealing his original appearance. He let out a heavy sigh.

Finally, he died.

This old guy is really tough; he practically pushed himself to the brink.

Aside from the ultimate ability of rewinding and the insane healing power brought by the high-level demon transformation, which hadn't been revealed yet, most of their other trump cards had already been exposed. That's how they finally managed to kill that old bastard.

However, hiding things comes at a price.

For example, Fang Yu is not in good condition right now.

The wound on my shoulder that went from top to bottom has only just begun to heal.

However, even though the physical injuries have healed, it will still take more time to replenish the lost blood volume.

Fortunately, the old man's thunderous power didn't have a significant effect on me, otherwise I would have really had to activate my high-level demonic transformation and fight him to the death.

Fang Yu couldn't understand why Lulu would go to such lengths. He had been doing his job for Juemen properly, so why did he end up being discarded like a used tool?

Since the other party acted unjustly first, you shouldn't blame yourself for being unjust.

Fang Yu was somewhat disappointed that the connection with the Absolute Gate had been severed just like that.

From now on, there will be no way to completely exterminate the demons in the capital under the protection of the Absolute Gate.

Without this title, he would naturally find it difficult to take action against the demons and monsters in the capital, who all had powerful backgrounds.

Therefore, the demon-hunting operation in the capital city must be temporarily suspended.

Fang Yu had considered going outside the city to hunt down demons, but since all his affairs were currently within the capital, it was somewhat inconvenient for him to travel in and out.

I glanced at the system notification.

[System notification: Congratulations to the player for defeating [Zhou Huxin]. You have gained 46 experience points.]

[System notification: [Zhou Huxin] has been detected as human; the [Azure Demon Blood] bloodline talent has been triggered.]

[System notification: Zhou Huxin's cultivation level is detected to be higher than the player's. 50% of his maximum health will be gained.]

[System notification: Congratulations, player, your maximum health has increased by 23161 points.]

Six Souls Realm...

Seeing the system notification, Fang Yu finally realized that he had actually... killed a Sixth Soul Realm old monster!

With a body at the Intelligence Soul Realm, he challenged a level beyond his own and successfully defeated it! If this feat were to be told, probably no one would believe it!

What kind of monstrous genius could accomplish such a thing? Moreover, Elder Huxin is a veteran Six Souls expert, not a gatekeeper like Elder Yanjin.

With this comparison, Fang Yu became even more confident in his own abilities.

"In other words, I... now possess the strength of the Sixth Soul Realm!"

Perhaps when he fought against Qian Jinxun, Fang Yu still had some self-doubt.

He already felt quite exhausted during his fight with Qianjinxun.

Now, after fighting Elder Huxin, he was certain that the battle had indeed been very difficult.

The injuries he sustained would have depleted the health of any other martial artist of the same level, causing them to die on the spot.

But he can withstand it, and even fight back.

Admittedly, even Fang Yu himself had to admit that he used many tricks in this battle.

For example, they might take advantage of their high health to absorb damage in order to create an opportunity to attack.

For example, when Elder Huxin almost split him in two, he showed a slight moment of relaxation.

All of these factors combined led to the victory we see today, enabling us to kill Elder Huxin.

"Over here! The commotion just now came from over here!"

"There's been no sound. Has the battle ended?"

"Go check on the situation immediately!"

Just as Fang Yu was thinking this, some noises suddenly came from outside.

He frowned slightly, jumped onto the roof, and was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to sense something and turned back to look at the dye house.

Elder Yan Jin was also standing on a high place, his gaze meeting his.

For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence.

Elder Yan Jin seemed to want to say something, his throat bobbed, but he quickly held back, took a deep breath, and shouted.

"Elder Huxin is in danger! All of you, come with me immediately to check on him!"

He shouted loudly, and only then did Fang Yu notice that below Elder Yan Jin, everyone in the dye shop seemed to be gathered there waiting for orders.

At this moment, Elder Yan Jin issued an order, and they naturally obeyed and surged towards this side.

Fang Yu understood what was going on, took a deep breath, bowed to Elder Yan Jin, and turned to leave.

However, just as he was about to make a move, a chilling and terrifying killing intent suddenly locked onto him in an instant! His body froze as if it had been frozen in ice!

This is? !
Fang Yu's expression changed, and an extreme chill crept into his body from the outside in! His health bar started dropping rapidly, "-51!" "-72!" "-91!"

Although it was inconspicuous and the amount of health lost was not high, the ability to put someone into a meditative state from a distance was simply remarkable! Moreover, his body continued to feel cold, as if it were stiffening.

This isn't an abstract concept; it's more like someone behind the scenes pulled out an invisible rope and used it to tighten around his body from a distance, completely sealing him off!
Elder Yan Jin, a master of the Six Souls realm, could naturally sense Fang Yu's unusual behavior.

Something...some terrifying being is rapidly approaching this area!

Moreover, they had already located Fang Yu's position before even getting close to him!

They may have even used some means to temporarily immobilize Fang Yu!
Realizing this, Elder Yan Jin took a deep breath and suddenly roared.

"The Absolute Clan is here to slay demons; who dares to obstruct us?!"

This explosive sound echoed through the sky, breaking through the air with sound, and suddenly broke through Fang Yu's invisible blockade from a third-party perspective.

Fang Yu immediately broke free from that cold, stiff state.

This startled Fang Yu, who was already preparing to unleash his full power to break through the cold and oppressive barrier.

He is currently using the Pure Blazing Sun Heart Sutra, a highly yang cultivation method that should be able to effectively counter these yin and cold techniques. If he were to unleash his energy, he should be able to break free from this constraint.

Since it was a long-range method, Fang Yu didn't think the intensity would be too high.

However, since Elder Yan Jin had a solution, it was naturally much more convenient.

At the same time, Fang Yu also remembered that Elder Yan Jin also mainly cultivated fire-based techniques, so he was naturally sensitive to these kinds of sinister methods and had a way of restraining them.

"Thank you."

Fang Yu muttered something to himself, then turned and left.

It seems that the other side is coming for him. If there is any danger, he can leave now and not worry about affecting Elder Yan Jin.

Killing an elder of the Juemen sect on Juemen's territory already put Elder Yan Jin in a very difficult position.

Now that we feel another powerful enemy is approaching, it would be too much of a shame to cause Elder Yan Jin any more trouble.

Therefore, Fang Yu's departure was very resolute.

Unexpectedly, the person behind him seemed to sense Fang Yu's departure and suddenly roared in fury.

"In the name of the Lord of the Foolish Underworld, I command you all! Block the path of that person ahead! Do not let him escape!!"

The Lord of Yudi Mansion? !

Upon hearing this title, not only were the disciples of the Absolute Sect under Elder Yan Jin taken aback, but even Elder Yan Jin himself was startled.

The Lord of the Foolish Underworld in the capital is not comparable to any other Foolish Underworld in other places.

In terms of both status and power, it was far superior to the Yudifu in ordinary regions. Although there was Fengtianfu above Yudifu in the capital, Fengtianfu was high above, belonging to the senior officials of the imperial court.

Normally, whether it's ordinary people, martial artists, or even sect disciples, they mostly come into contact with the Foolish Underworld.

Therefore, upon hearing the name of the Lord of the Foolish Land, Elder Yan Jin was momentarily stunned.

The main point is... even if the Underworld has something to do, it's always someone at the level of a hall master who shows their face in public.

When the lord of the manor personally handles matters, they are usually related to the imperial court, and he rarely shows his face.

Therefore, Elder Yan Jin was somewhat unprepared for the sudden appearance of the Lord of the Foolish Land.

However, as an elder of the Absolute Sect, his expression immediately darkened after a brief moment of astonishment.

He intended to let Fang Yu leave, but if Fang Yu were to be targeted by the Lord of the Foolish Land, he would likely have little chance of survival.

Fang Yu had just fought a fierce battle with Elder Huxin. Although he narrowly won, given Elder Yan Jin's understanding of Fang Yu's strength, even if he had won, it would have been a Pyrrhic victory, and his current condition must be extremely poor.

If the Lord of the Foolish Underworld were to catch up with them at this moment, they would likely face certain death.

Even setting aside the matter of Fang Yu killing Elder Huxin, no matter how big the conflict was between them, it was still an internal struggle between martial arts figures and sect members, and had nothing to do with the Foolish Underworld.

Elder Yan Jin would not accept it if the Foolish Underworld were to gain an advantage and capture Fang Yu.

He could accept Fang Yu dying at the hands of Elder Huxin, and he could also accept Elder Huxin dying at the hands of Fang Yu. This was a private struggle. However, if, after the battle, Fang Yu was severely injured and tricked into being captured and tortured to death by the people of the Foolish Underworld, Elder Yan Jin would absolutely not allow it.

The disciples of the Absolute Sect below the dyehouse all looked up expectantly at Elder Yan Jin, awaiting his command.

Elder Yan Jin remained silent until…

boom! !

With a loud bang, a figure rushed towards them from afar!

"We told you to leave them here! Can't you understand human language? You worthless trash!"

As the roar resounded, the figure rapidly approached, showing no sign of slowing down.

Clearly, although the members of the Juemen clan did not act according to her wishes, she did not have the extra time to stay and reprimand them.

The reason is quite simple: she's almost lost track of the person she's chasing.

That kid runs incredibly fast, but if we need to catch him now, we still have time!
Because that kid looked like he had just been through a big battle and his injuries hadn't healed, and since he was weaker than him, he naturally couldn't escape his grasp!

But all of this is predicated on... no one interfering.

Unfortunately...

"Lord Palace Master, stay!"

Elder Yan Jin roared, his energy surging out and instantly disrupting Ya Qingli's movements.

The originally fluid movements were suddenly disrupted, and the speed decreased.

"court death!!"

Ya Qingli roared in fury, and with a loud bang, the air around her exploded.

The violent energy blasted all the disciples of the dye shop away, leaving only Elder Yan Jin standing motionless on the roof, his clothes fluttering wildly.

"Some strength!"

Ya Qingli sneered, and as she rapidly approached, she roared a threat.

"However, you may have the strength, but your men don't. If you dare to obstruct my actions again, I will slaughter all your disciples! Not a single one will be spared! You can try and see if I, the dignified Lord of the Foolish Earth Prefecture, have the ability!!"

The roar was deafening, and the force of the energy it generated forced Elder Yan Jin to take a step back before he could regain his footing.

Such profound internal energy!
And that face—it was clearly a demonic form!

This guy actually activated his demon form and charged straight at us. No wonder his speed was so exaggerated and his power so astonishing...

Elder Yan Jin was somewhat taken aback.

In that brief moment, Ya Qingli had already darted past Elder Yan Jin and headed straight for Fang Yu!

"not good!"

By the time Elder Yan Jin reacted, he could only see Ya Qingli's back.

But it's not too late; if we give chase now...

"Lord Yan Jin!"

"Elder, save me..."

As Elder Yan Jin was pondering this, a chorus of wails erupted from below.

Looking down, Elder Yan Jin realized that the disciples who had been swept by Ya Qingli's chilling energy were all curled up, trembling, their faces pale, and their lips purple—clearly signs of severe poisoning.

Moreover, this is no ordinary poison; it's more like a manifestation of cold, damp energy penetrating the body. In such cases, one usually needs to use yang energy to force the cold energy out in order to survive; otherwise, even a second's hesitation could lead to death.

In an instant, Elder Yan Jin was caught in a dilemma.

He sighed as he watched the shadowy figure disappear completely into the distance.

I never expected that the dignified Lord of the Foolish Land would resort to such despicable means.

In the blink of an eye, a trap had been set for him.

After jumping off the roof, Elder Yan Jin quickly clapped each of the disciples of the Absolute Sect.

His scorching energy was the best defense against such insidious methods. The power of this palm strike was enough to alleviate everyone's condition, and this time difference was enough for Elder Yan Jin to temporarily escape and go to support Fang Yu.

"You all huddle together for warmth, I'll be right back!"

He quickly patted each person on the shoulder, then Elder Yan Jin stood up and leaped to his feet.

Before the disciples of the Absolute Sect could react, they were about to chase after Fang Yu in the direction he had left.

Unexpectedly at this moment...

Whoosh! !

Something suddenly flew over his head!

Its speed was so fast that even Elder Yan Jin couldn't see it clearly for a moment!
Upon closer inspection, they noticed a small black dot that had already darted away in the direction Fang Yu had left!

"Another...monster!!"

Elder Yan Jin's lips trembled. He could clearly sense that the strength of the dark figure that followed was far superior to that of the Lord of the Foolish Earth Palace!

If it were only the Lord of the Foolish Land Prefecture making a move, he would be confident in intervening to buy Fang Yu time to escape.

Then the later shadowy expert... he rarely even had a chance to intervene.

How could I... have provoked such a powerful expert?!
Elder Yan Jin was puzzled, but he had to go anyway, even if it meant gritting his teeth.

Even if... it's just to collect Fang Yu's body.

Elder Yan Jin left with this mindset, so his mood inevitably became somewhat heavy.

He could never have predicted that things would turn out this way in a single day.

Now that Lulu and Elder Huxin are separated by life and death, and with Fang Yu about to be in trouble, Elder Yan Jin felt a pang of sadness and quickened his pace, heading in that direction.

Boom! !
Suddenly! He heard a loud bang! Then, a gray-black tree, different from the previous ones, rose from the ground! It blotted out the sky!
The two previous towering black trees had lush, intertwined branches that were dense and jet black.

This towering gray tree, however, has a more imposing and heavy feel. Only the main trunk is incredibly thick, while the other branching branches appear thin and withered, and are grayish-black in color, giving people a different feeling.

"Diao...De Yi?"

Elder Yan Jin stopped in surprise, his expression... showing a hint of doubt.
