As a titan of the Dark Web's Thunder faction,
Lei Hao certainly couldn't just watch Tang Yan get killed... However, he had completely underestimated Fang Yu's strength. With just a single move, he was defeated.
What kind of martial technique could possess such immense power?
He couldn't imagine.
Lei Hao slowly approached Tang Yan, his gaze cold as he looked at Fang Yu and asked, "I didn't expect you would use the Quartet Martial Technique that was lost a thousand years ago! Truly unexpected..."
Fang Yu responded indifferently, "There are more things you haven't anticipated."
Lei Hao chuckled and turned to Tang Yan, saying, "It seems that our target has exceeded our expectations. Today, we must join forces."
"Join forces then... Worst comes to worst, we split it in half!" Tang Yan said resentfully.
His twisted features shocked the Dark Web members standing behind Fang Yu; they never realized that their revered titan could look so devilish.
Even so—
The majority of the Dark Web members still stood by their side.
The human heart is unpredictable.
...
However, over in the Jiangzhou division, seeing Fang Yu defeat the Dark Night titan with a single move made their spirits soar.
"Iron Fist King!"
"Iron Fist King!"
"Iron Fist King!"
The whole crowd began to chant loudly.
It spurred everyone to shout in unison.
Those who dared to stand with Fang Yu at this moment, what did they fear from the threats of the two titans? Their initial reason for joining the Dark Web hadn't changed. Life is transient, and eventually, everyone returns to the dust; they don't seek to achieve glory in this world, but to remain true to themselves.
How could Lei Hao and Tang Yan allow Fang Yu to dominate the Dark Web... They had planned for years, hoping that today they would awe the entire assembly, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and take over the Dark Web in its entirety.
They had long wanted to eliminate the anomaly that was Fang Yu!
...
On the high platform.
Fang Yu's expression remained calm as he looked forward.
Tang Yan slowly stood up straight, tapping his chest twice to temporarily stabilize his injuries.
"You take the left, I'll take the right."
"Hmm... to be honest, I really don't want to work with you. But this guy... is somewhat difficult to handle."
"Cut the nonsense, let's make this quick. He has already stolen too much of the limelight, which is not good for our position and influence in the Dark Web."
Just consider, the formidable two titans, toppled by a single move from Fang Yu, what capability would they have to awe the Dark Web in the future?
The two stood opposite each other from afar.
Fang Yu spoke out loud:
"A life-and-death battle, are you sure you want to gang up? Breaking the rules has serious consequences."
A life-and-death battle is naturally one-on-one, to the death.
Now Tang Yan and Lei Hao intended to fight two against one, attacking together, obviously breaking the rules of a life-and-death battle.
Tang Yan laughed and said:
"Just like you said before, rules are made for the weak to follow... You are already a criminal of the Dark Web, what right do you have to talk about rules? I summoned you back to headquarters, you defied my orders, and you even killed the envoy I sent. I ordered you to restrain yourself in Yanjing, and not only did you not do so, but you slaughtered the Jin Family and the Zhao Family and even razed the Lu Family to the ground... Tell me, what are the rules?"
Every word was firm.
Neither servile nor overbearing.
For those present, this type of dialogue had become meaningless.
They only wanted to know who had the harder fist!
As the saying goes — a hard fist is the real truth! A hard fist holds the real power!
Losers have nothing before reason.
Fang Yu raised his voice, "Good! As you wish... Let's see who has the harder fist then!"
He raised his hand.
Gang Qi swirling around.
His fist directed ninety degrees forward, aiming straight at the two titans.
Tang Yan roared, like a Roc spreading its wings; his entire body darted forward like a cheetah pouncing.
"Earth Evil Fist!"
At the same time, Lei Hao attacked from another side.
The sound of wind stirring.
Gang Qi intertwined.
A violent wind erupted.
"Thunder Evil Fist!"
Both men used a martial technique characteristic of cultivators of the Mystic Rank. This combined move, one from the left and the other from the right, attacked simultaneously.
Even cultivators of the same rank would find it difficult to withstand.
However...
Fang Yu remained standing in his original spot, as tranquil as a cloud, as gentle as a breeze, with a heart as still as still water, and a gaze serene.
Seeing this scene, Chen Daotian's heart leapt to his throat. "He doesn't make a move even when the punch is about to land on his face..."
Indeed, it was just as they saw.
The two towering figures smashing down from the sky, their enormous power causing the air itself to tremble.
Yet, despite that, Fang Yu still did not move.
Just as the two were mere meters away from him—
"Heavenly Star Array Fist, Fifth Layer harmony!"
Whoosh.
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!
In front of Fang Yu, shadows of fists materialized instantly.
A sky filled with fist shadows overlapped, while Gang Qi crisscrossed amongst them.
Boom—
The two were sent flying backwards.
The scene quieted down.
Thump, thump...
Tang Yan and Lei Hao crashed to the ground.
The whole place fell deathly silent.
No one even dared to breathe loudly.
Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the spectacle unfolding on the stage.
Puh—
Puh—
Tang Yan and Lei Hao each spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Drenched in sweat, faces pale as ghosts, they looked at the ground in disbelief.
"How is this possible?!"
Not just the two titans, but everyone present was hit by a tidal wave of shock.
No one could believe that Fang Yu's strength was so terrifying.
With a mere raise of his hand, he had crushed the two titans—an inconceivable feat!
Lying on the ground, the Bright Giant, Jiang Shang, became so excited he was incoherent, saying, "Could it be... could it be that Fang Yu's strength has already stepped into the Heavenly Rank?"
"Heavenly Rank?" Chen Daotian recalled the events that unfolded at the Nine Layers Hall that night.
Xie Daoyun, with her junior-level Heavenly Rank strength, could, with a mere gesture, kill a Yellow Rank Cultivator like Mo Chengkong.
So it seemed, Brother Yu really could have possibly entered the realm of Heavenly Position Level Cultivators!
But...
How long has it been for him to have so swiftly advanced to a Heavenly Position Level Cultivator... Chen Daotian was utterly astounded.
...
Whose fist is harder?
The situation on the stage was now crystal clear.
"Iron Fist King!"
"Iron Fist King!"
"Iron Fist King!"
The whole crowd was chanting Fang Yu's name.
Those Dark Web members who had chosen to side with Dark Night and Thunder now had iron-blue faces, and deeply regretted their decision.
They wanted to switch sides now, but were angrily refused by the straightforward members!
Who would dare to switch?
Just go ahead and fight, but the question is, who would dare to make a move?
The heavenly-defying Needle Technique, displayed five in a row, had already cost the Slaughter God Team dearly. Who would dare to strike rashly?
...
On the stage.
Fang Yu indifferently said: "Unfortunately, your fists... weren't hard enough…"
Tang Yan lifted his eyes to stare at Fang Yu, his fingers trembling as he said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible... You, what realm are you really in?"
"Does that question matter?" Fang Yu asked.
"Impossible… no one can master the Fifth Layer harmony... no one can... you're not Fang Yu, who... who are you really?" Tang Yan's features were already fierce; as he snarled, he became even more terrifying.
Fang Yu let out a sigh and said,
"Though you are Mystic Rank Cultivators, it's a pity that you know too little about this world... Do you know why Cultivators don't easily meddle in the affairs of Martial Artists? That's because... their circle determines their scope…"
Tang Yan and Lei Hao wore faces of complete bewilderment.
In fact, it's much like a wolf that has lived among a flock of sheep since it was young. If it loses the nature of a wolf, then it will think it is also a sheep...
