Chapter 55: The Foremost Sword against Demons (2nd Update)

Fortunately, at this moment, Fang Yu could already see the gates of the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy ahead.Since the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy had passed the disciple recruitment period, there was not much foot traffic at the entrance.

Therefore, the three people closely following behind were particularly conspicuous.

The first to retreat and give up was Chen Yufu, with 800 blood points.

But Fang Yu was unaware of this.

The other two, like hunting dogs catching a scent, seemed not ready to give up and instead suddenly started to accelerate, rapidly closing the distance to Fang Yu.

Even without looking back, the rapid footsteps closing in made Fang Yu’s soul tremble with fear.

Luckily, at this time, a graceful figure flashed from inside the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy.

Fang Yu was overjoyed immediately.

"Senior Mei!!"

He shouted excitedly, with a bang! The ground’s bricks cracked slightly, and he took off like a shot, rushing towards the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy.

This sudden burst of speed caught the two who had been quickly approaching by surprise, showing a look of astonishment on their faces.

When a woman poked her head out from the inner courtyard of the academy and greeted Fang Yu, the two exchanged glances and then quietly left like passersby.

"How come you’re so late today? Just so you know, I’ve finished all the meatballs, not a single one left."

Shi Zhongmei thought Fang Yu shouted for her because he had finally realized the importance of the Yuan Heart Meatballs for Martial Arts Training.

In reality, Fang Yu couldn’t care less about meatballs!

He gasped for breath, looking back to see that there was no one at the entrance of the martial arts academy.

"Senior, I owe you one."

Patting Shi Zhongmei on the shoulder, Fang Yu quickly walked towards the inside of the academy, leaving a puzzled Shi Zhongmei behind.

Escaping from death, that was the only way to describe it.

While walking quickly, Fang Yu calmed his racing heart.

He genuinely hadn’t expected the demons to be so brazen!

It was broad daylight! People were everywhere, and it just so happened that the Yuan Body Martial Arts Academy was off-peak recruitment period, so there weren’t many people around.

Otherwise, those demons wouldn’t have had a chance to make a move!

What puzzled Fang Yu the most was how the Three Demons had set their sights on him.

Could it be because of the Demon Bloodline I awakened just now, attracting its own kind?

That’s not right!

If it was the Demon Bloodline, they should recognize me as a demon, just like Yue Guang did.

But the previous behavior of those three demons was clearly aimed at my life!

Could it be that there is also factional strife among demons?

No... wait!

Fang Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He remembered something.

That is... Evil Qi!

Although he could barely feel it now, he couldn’t deny that there were remnants of Evil Qi on his body!

It must have been this Evil Qi that attracted the demons!

Realizing this point, Fang Yu felt much relieved.

At least he didn’t need to be on edge, worrying about being targeted by demons for no apparent reason.

But then, he furrowed his brows again.

Those Three Demons, they knew what I looked like, knew I had residual Evil Qi.

Would they just let me go so easily?

If I stayed until after sunset, when the Evil Qi dissipated, and walked out boldly, would the Three Demons give up hunting me, or would they wait at the entrance like watching for a hare?

Fang Yu couldn’t find an answer; he only felt it was a difficult situation.

In the face of such a predicament, he felt driven to a desperate corner!

Confronted with such a situation, Fang Yu’s courage rose in the face of danger, and he suddenly turned, striding towards the storage room!

Kill the elder monk, absorb the great blood, slay the demons!

With each step he took, his momentum rose a bit higher!

By the time he reached the storage room, he was as imposing as a rainbow, with a firm Dao heart!

However, as soon as he entered the storage room, he bumped into a figure head-on.

With a bang, the figure was knocked to the ground, while Fang Yu remained unmoved.

He looked down.

It was Lin Wu.

The health bar was normal, but Lin Wu’s spirit seemed somewhat absent-minded, his entire demeanor crazy and frenzied, his face in panic, his gaze wandering, muttering to himself.

"I didn’t mean it... I didn’t mean it... I didn’t mean it... I didn’t mean it!!"

The last sound he made suddenly boomed, echoing around the storeroom, shaking Fang Yu’s eardrums.

What is he doing?

Fang Yu was confused.

"It’s nothing, Lin Wu, just a bump, I’m perfectly fine."

As Fang Yu spoke, he helped Lin Wu up.

It was only then that Lin Wu seemed to recognize Fang Yu.

"Diao, Diao Deyi?"

"It’s me."

Slap!

Lin Wu, as if waking from a dream, quickly grasped Fang Yu’s shoulders with force and said excitedly.

"Quick, go and call Master! My uncle, my uncle... Wuuu! It’s all my fault! It’s all my fault!!"

With that, Lin Wu burst into tears again, his spirit utterly unstable.

Fang Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that my big blood bag has been taken away?

"What’s going on! Tell me, what happened to your uncle? Is he still alive?"

Fang Yu hurriedly asked.

His level of concern was only second to that of Lin Wu.

"It’s all my fault! Yesterday, we finally managed to invite the reclusive Divine Doctor Yu from the mountains, who gave us a Divine Pill."

"My parents wanted to invite another Divine Doctor to thoroughly inspect the medicine before giving it to my uncle."

"But I’ve been with my uncle at the martial arts school for many years, his health deteriorating with each passing day, and recently it has been approaching heart failure. How could we wait any longer?"

"So this morning, I stole the pill and gave it to my uncle, to my uncle..."

Lin Wu said between sobs.

Clearly, he had fed the Divine Pill to the Sweeping Monk!

It was too much for him to handle!

Fang Yu slapped his thigh in anger, you could have just waited for me to take his life before feeding him the pill, he was going to die anyway!

"Right, right!"

"Master! I need to find the Master! He will definitely have a way! He must have a way!!"

After saying this, Lin Wu didn’t wait for Fang Yu to respond, he just left Fang Yu behind and ran out with lightning speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

In the storeroom, Fang Yu was suddenly left all alone.

Oh, and a corpse.

Fang Yu looked into the dark depths of the storeroom.

Suddenly, he heard a voice.

"Nephew..."

It was a hoarse and elderly voice, as if it were on the verge of breathing its last.

In that instant, Fang Yu’s pupils dilated, and everything around him seemed to stretch and distort like a warped lens, except for his wide eyes, which remained fixed on the darkness ahead.

Vaguely, he could see a blurry figure of an old man painfully crawling toward him from the ground.

A health bar appeared.

His body was trembling.

A wave of excitement surged uncontrollably within him.

Fang Yu rushed forward with large strides.

Bold medicine pill! Let go of that Sweeping Monk! Let me do this!!

Footsteps!

In the darkness, a silhouette hurried over to Lin Wotian’s side.

As Lin Wotian looked up in a daze,

The pain of the pill corroding his body made another number appear above his head.

Between his blurry old eyes, he seemed to see a figure of a young man.

"Nephew..."

Bang!!

A fist the size of a palm suddenly descended upon his head.

A pain shot through his head.

Lin Wotian fell flat on the ground, plunging into darkness forever.

It was only now that the ephemeral number slowly emerged.
