Everyone turned toward the sound.

A tall figure was reflected on the path.

He stepped forward slowly.

Slap, slap.

His footsteps were rhythmic, neither hurried nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant.

As he passed under the streetlight, the light shone on his face.

Who could this be, if not Fang Yu?

With both hands in his pockets, he walked up to the crowd and stopped.

"Black Mountain Sect is really getting more and more presumptuous... Such a minor sect dares to disrespect even Bai Ze," Fang Yu remarked with evident interest.

Seeing that it was Fang Yu who had arrived,

Lu Qinghong did not dare to act rashly, bowing slightly and saying, "Master... Leave this matter to me, there's no need for you to take action personally."

The four demons from Black Mountain were startled. Even Lu Qinghong had to treat Fang Yu with such respect... Things seemed not as simple as they had thought.

Where did the problem lie?

They pondered, their brows deeply furrowed.

But... Fang Yu's youthful appearance didn't seem to fit the image of a master at all.

"Young man, are you the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King, Fang Yu?" one of the demons perched atop the streetlamp arrogantly stated.

Hearing this,

Lu Qinghong's expression shifted slightly as he said, "Do you think you can carelessly call out the Master's name?"

He threw a palm strike.

Boom!

The demon on the streetlamp, after all, was a Supreme Heavenly Rank expert and threw out both palms to block. Struck by the Supreme Heavenly Position's palm power, he was sent flying back onto the lamp behind him, coughing and clutching his chest with one hand.

Suppressing the turbulence within his blood and Qi, the demon spoke, "Deserving of the reputation of the Supreme Heavenly Position indeed."

Fang Yu smiled faintly.

In the past, seeing others daring to call out names directly and trying to show off in front of him was foolish. Now that it was his turn, it was actually quite amusing.

Fang Yu raised his hand and said, "Lu Qinghong. Step back."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qinghong was startled, but without much ado, he bowed and replied, "Yes!"

The four demons and the remaining Earth Evils were once again astonished.

Fang Yu could actually command Lu Qinghong.

All signs indicated... Fang Yu's identity was no simple matter.

The four demons from Black Mountain already felt the ominous turn.

At this moment,

Fang Yu stepped forward and said aloud, "To be honest... I don't like bullying others with power, nor do I like being unreasonable... My feud with your Black Mountain Sect ultimately stems from your Young Master, Gongsun Chu. Gongsun Chu has caused trouble everywhere and offended many. Those of you who are his subordinates know this best. Xu Daoyun, the Clan Leader of Xu Family in the Northern Desert is my friend, and Xu Sisi is even more my close and dear friend... Gongsun Chu, abusing his power, not only tried to force her submission but even hired someone to poison her, causing her to be wheelchair-bound for half a year. Tell me, do I not have every right to kill him?"

Close and dear friend?

The four demons from Black Mountain were taken aback.

How could they not know about Gongsun Chu's actions?

"Iron Fist King... Even if the Young Master is at a thousand faults and more, he doesn't deserve death. As the saying goes, 'when you hit a dog, you have to consider its owner.' You killed Gongsun, the Young Master, and wiped out the whole Hongmen. How do we settle this account?"

Fang Yu laughed lightly and said, "Hongmen brought this upon themselves... Miss Shangguan, the Sect Master's daughter of Luli Sect, is my wife's maid, now a Sword Slave... You insisted on targeting those close to me, what would you do in my place? There's cause and effect in everything, but an endless cycle of revenge gets us nowhere... Why not let bygones be bygones? I've killed your Gongsun Chu, so let's call it even, how about that?"

Upon hearing this,

Anger surged in the hearts of the four demons from Black Mountain.

What kind of logic was this?

"We are here on the orders of the Demon Lord, determined to take your life... How can the grudges and strife between sects be settled so easily? Seventy-two Earthly Fiends, and in the blink of an eye, sixteen are dead. How do we account for this?"

No sooner had he finished speaking

Than Lu Qinghong, standing by the side, shouted, "Fools! Those sixteen were killed by me. The Master refrains from settling scores with you and patiently reasons with you, that's a tremendous grace... And yet you are greedy for more? According to my rules, I decide who lives and who dies. Break the rules, and you must face the punishment!"

The four demons from Black Mountain shivered all over.

They clenched their teeth tightly, staring fixedly at Lu Qinghong.

"Master Lu, I respect you as one of the Xuanming Generals under Bai Ze, a Supreme Heavenly Rank expert! However, how can you fail to discern right from wrong!? This youngster killed our Black Mountain Young Master, slaughtered the affiliated sect Hongmen, and took over Jiangzhou and Yanjing's properties. Black Mountain is subordinate to Bai Ze... In other words, this youngster is opposing Bai Ze. How... How can you side with him?"

Fang Yu, with hands clasped behind his back, said:

"That's because... they are willing to follow me!"

A sudden burst of aura emanated from him.

This was the aura of confidence.

The aura of someone holding a high position. Not something developed overnight.

The Black Mountain Four Demons couldn't help but be shaken.

So.

The plan for tonight was completely ruined.

With Lu Qinghong present, even the arrival of all Thirty-six Xuantian experts would be futile.

Supreme Heavenly Position.

Far too powerful.

An insurmountable chasm.

At this thought.

One of the Four Demons said:

"Since Bai Ze wants to protect this person... then I have nothing to say... Let's put an end to tonight's matter. We're leaving!"

As soon as these words fell.

Fang Yu's voice quietly arose: "Did I say you could leave?"

Everyone was surprised.

"What do you want?"

Fang Yu said indifferently: "The reasoning is done... the past grudges, we can settle here. But, the account of seventy-two Great Heavenly Position experts besieging the Fang Family tonight... we need to settle that properly."

"You—"

"To be reasonable, these people, they ought to die. If it weren't for Lu Qinghong, and also me being home... then the Fang Family would have been certainly decimated by you. Who would I look for then?"

Hearing Fang Yu's words.

Lu Qinghong was also taken aback.

To kill without overstepping bounds.

Sacrificing the entire Black Mountain Sect was also part of the plan.

So Lu Qinghong shouted: "The four of you have nothing to do with this... Let the remaining Earth Evils come out and face death. Today's matter, let's call it even."

"Is Bai Ze really going to protect the Iron Fist King?"

"It's not that Bai Ze wants to protect me... it's that Bai Ze needs my protection!"

Fang Yu's toes tapped the ground, and his arms extended.

His body as light as a swallow, he glided toward the Four Demons, like the qinggong from TV dramas.

Seeing this.

Lu Qinghong said with worry: "Master, you mustn't!"

He knew that Fang Yu's strength was only at the Tyrant Heavenly Rank... How could it possibly match against four individuals of the Supreme Heavenly Rank?

But as he worried just a moment—

With a swoosh, Fang Yu's right hand now held a long sword.

"What is that?" Lu Qinghong asked with a shocked face.

"It's been a long time since I've used this sword..."

Fang Yu laughed heartily, raised his right hand, swung it through the air, clenched his hands, and said in a deep voice:

"Primordial Sword Skill, Sword Flying Gang!"

Swoosh.

Swoosh, swoosh.

A myriad of sword shadows suddenly lit up the sky.

The Black Mountain Four Demons exclaimed in surprise: "What sword skill is this?"

"Such powerful Gang Qi!"

"Tyrant Heavenly Rank? It turned out to be just Tyrant Heavenly Rank... Even if Bai Ze protects you, so what? You forced us to take action!"
