84 Some Rest At Las (1/2)
”Fang Yuan, you're pushing it too far!”
Seeing Flower Fox Ferret dragged Hu Yuxu away unrelentingly while Fang Yuan continued to advance continuously, Old Crane was panic stricken. He stepped backwards and shouted out.
”I'm pushing it too far?”
Fang Yuan snorted mockingly, ”You took the effort to travel all the way here to disturb me. When you did not achieve your objective, you even devised a deadly trap and tried to trick me. How dare you say that I'm the one pushing it too far?”
”Shoo!”
As he was talking, he sped like the wind and circled Old Crane a few times before coming to a halt by the side.
Old Crane's face turned ghostly pale. His hand shivered and a few bags of medicine fell to the floor as he stuttered, ”You…have broken through the 4 Heavenly Gates?”
Even though he knew that Fang Yuan was a highly skilled martial artist with an unrivalled inner force, he never thought that Fang Yuan was such a formidable martial artist!”
Fang Yuan was not even past 20 years of age! Yet he was so proficient and outstanding in both medicinal abilities and martial prowess to the point that it was completely unbelievable!
”Do not forget that I am also a medical practitioner. Those moves you have will not work on me!”
Fang Yuan wriggled his nose and shook his head slowly.
Even though Old Crane was also trained in martial arts like him, he was probably only around the 5th or the 6th gate. How could he possibly be a match for Fang Yuan?
As for attempting to use poison on Fang Yuan, Old Crane was simply making a fool out of himself in front of Fang Yuan who was an expert in this field.
”Ah!”
After seeing what happened, Hu Yuxu who was struggling with Flower Fox Ferret let out a shout. He threw out a Sword Flower which burst into flames in mid-air, sending rays of blinding light in all directions. He forced Flower Fox Ferret to release its grip and took the chance to escape.
”Keke!”
Seeing Hu Yuxu escaping, Flower Fox Ferret flew into a rage and chased after Hu Yuxu relentlessly with vengeance. Even though it was less powerful than Hu Yuxu and could not possibly hold him back alone, it could still get its revenge with the help of its friend.
”Choo choo!”
A gigantic black eagle descended from the sky through strong gusts of wind and blocked Hu Yuxu's escape path. Brandishing its razor-sharp talons, it charged towards Hu Yuxu.
”Yin yang Sword!”
Hu Yuxu's expression changed. He thrusted his sword in its direction. The Yin and Yang energies flowed along the blade of the sword, forcing the airborne eagle to land.
”Sou!”
At this instant, Flower Fox Ferret appeared out of nowhere within the range of Hu Yuxu's weapon and tore out his throat!
Snap!
Blood spurted everywhere as Hu Yuxu slumped to the ground. There was a gaping hole in his throat and a painful contorted expression on his face.
As he lay on the ground, he eyes were still filled with rage, as though he was still indignant that he was killed by two beasts.
”What a great spiritual bird!”
Seeing Iron-tailed Black Eagle, the colour drained from Old Crane's face. It seemed like he knew his end was near.
He looked at Fang Yuan deeply and thought, ”Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, he even has spiritual beasts. What impressive achievements! I am ashamed beyond measure...”
”Sigh…I never thought that after all these years, I would actually die here!?”
After saying this, he dropped to his knees without hesitation. A smile appeared on his face and his breathing halted instantly.
”Oh? Did he commit suicide?”
Fang Yuan stepped forward and checked for Old Crane's breathing from his nostrils. His mouth curled into a mocking smirk. Suddenly, he forcefully jabbed his index finger onto Old Crane's heart with lightning speed.
”Pooh!”
With a dull thud, Old Crane's lifeless body fell to the floor like a wooden log.
”It doesn't matter if you are really dead. I will give it to you if you are able to survive after I destroy your meridians!”
Without looking at Old Crane again, Fang Yuan walked towards Zhang Sheng.
At this point in time, the two spiritual beasts who just neutralised Hu Yuxu returned together on either side of Fang Yuan. It was an impressive sight.
”Cough...”
Zhang Sheng spat out fresh blood which contained some parts of his internal organs and asked cynically, ”Is the divine healer here to kill me?”
”Oh? Why would you say so?”
Fang Yuan frowned.
”Old Crane has many connections. You would probably think twice before killing him. But seeing that you treat your spiritual eagle and true martial prowess with such secrecy, it seems that killing a person who has witnessed them would be the only way to keep these secrets. And for that reason, I too must die right?”
Zhang Sheng chuckled scornfully, ”Anyway, even if you do not kill me now, I would still die by the end of today!”
”True, your core elixir is broken. Even if you do not die, you would be handicapped for life!”
Fang Yuan surveyed Zhang Sheng's injury. Nodding his head, he asked, ”What if I am able to save your life and help you keep your martial prowess?”
”What?”
Fang Yuan's question kindled a fire within Zhang Sheng which shone through his eyes. This caused Fang Yuan to chuckle silently.
It was natural for all living things to have a desire to live. It was hence natural for a martial artist to desire to continue living.
”And what would you have me do?”
Zhang Sheng was no doubt a street-smart and intelligent person as he immediately thought about what Fang Yuan wanted in exchange.
”I will save your life and help you keep your martial prowess. In return, you will work for me for 20 years. What do you think?”
