Chapter 928: Chapter 928 - 426: Fall or Stand

Regarding Yi Geyun’s death, the reactions from Fang Yu’s team varied, while the Lv Family had already announced the result of the second battle.

But not a moment was spent mourning Yi Geyun’s death, as the next one to take the stage was...

"Ling Huxiang, it’s your turn for the third round."

Zuo Caicai stared at the Ye Family’s first personnel, speaking deeply.

Fang Yu: ???

Zuo Caicai’s words nearly made Fang Yu think he had heard wrong.

Turning to look at Zuo Caicai, Fang Yu discovered Fatty Jin and others were whispering something beside Zuo Caicai, pointing at the personnel sent by the Ye Family.

Fang Yu frowned and looked at the Ye Family’s member on stage.

[Ye Su: 4516/4516.]

Only four thousand plus combat power?

Compared to Ye Fan previously, the combat power had dropped by a thousand points.

Does Ye Family have no one left?

Fang Yu scanned the Ye Family’s side, clearly there were some with over five thousand blood, so why not send them to fight, but instead send this small role with four thousand blood?

Fang Yu was puzzled, and Ling Huxiang beside him also seemed a bit confused.

"Ah?"

Ling Huxiang looked around, pointing to herself.

"Me?"

Since the battle in the Death Forest, her condition had never been good.

Facing a strong enemy now, honestly, she lacked confidence.

Instinctively, Ling Huxiang looked at Fang Yu beside her.

With a snap, Fang Yu suddenly grabbed her wrist, but his gaze remained fixed on Zuo Caicai’s side.

"She can’t go up."

At this moment, Zuo Caicai glanced at Fang Yu sideways.

"Then you go up."

"Cai Niang!" Just as Zuo Caicai finished speaking, Zuo Lv shouted.

Yet Zuo Caicai’s expression remained unchanged, merely speaking coldly.

"It’s time for your Foolish Underworld to contribute; up next is the Hei Family; be prepared yourselves."

Hearing this, Fang Yu’s countenance changed a few times before saying deeply.

"Alright. I’ll go up!"

A mere four thousand blood opponent, it’s annoying!

Ling Huxiang is injured and truly can’t go up, she only has a bit over a thousand blood, going up would be sending her to death.

But for me, I’m not worried at all.

Though unsure what Zuo Caicai’s scheming, this battle mustn’t have Ling Huxiang on stage.

Releasing Ling Huxiang’s hand, Fang Yu strode forward.

This time, however, Ling Huxiang suddenly grabbed his wrist in return.

"..." Fang Yu looked at her in confusion, but Ling Huxiang seemed unaware of what she wanted to say—just a subconscious action.

Eventually, she spoke.

"If you go up, you’ll die!"

Evidently, she had no idea the person on stage and the previous experts were not the same level.

Fang Yu smiled.

"If I don’t go up, you’ll die. Moreover... I’ll win." Fang Yu pointed to himself.

Ling Huxiang’s mind flashed back to the battle of [Big Gu Heavy Frog Demon], her fingers slowly loosened, whispering quickly.

"If you lose and I’m still alive to return to Tianyuan Town, I’ll take care of your family."

These words weren’t easy.

Though Foolish Underworld operates like a government employee system with a family support mechanism for its personnel, things aren’t easy post-departure.

But with the backing of a captain-level Foolish Underworld personnel, it’s a different story.

However, clearly, Fang Yu didn’t need such benefits.

Taking a few steps, Fang Yu arrived at the front of the team, standing on the round platform, looking straight at the woman ahead.

"Tianyuan Town, Foolish Underworld, Diao Deyi, please instruct me."

The crowd overheard and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Yo, there’s actually an official."

"Foolish Underworld of Tianyuan Town is bold, daring to meddle in such matters. Unlike those from our place, who became scared turtles long ago."

Initially, Fang Yu’s side had dispatched various personnel, clearly a grand alliance, so a person from the official appeared, and the attention was minimal—mostly mockery.

From the Ye Family’s side, there was no apparent reaction to Fang Yu as an opponent.

The woman on stage, however, saluted Fang Yu.

"Ye Family, Ye Su."

Ye Su, in a cyan garment, carried a Su Sword with a cyan tassel, her voice clear and cold.

After saluting, she immediately unsheathed the sword, suggesting Fang Yu prepare, yet seemingly not intending to launch a preemptive strike.

Fang Yu was somewhat surprised; in this deadly duel, this woman still maintained politeness and etiquette, unlike the previous Ye Family members.

Fist-clapping, Fang Yu slowly drew the long dagger blade from his waist.

The novel weapon immediately attracted quite a few people’s attention, but that attention swiftly shifted as Fang Yu advanced, wholly absorbed in the pure battle spectacle.

Yet Zuo Caicai’s thoughts lingered on the secret exchange with Fatty Jin earlier.

"This woman’s name is Ye Su, she’s adept in the Mutual Destruction Sword Skill. This sword skill is generally mediocre, but there’s one move that is extremely treacherous: once unleashed, it can lead to mutual destruction with the enemy! Having lost [Yi Geyun], our chances have decreased; we can’t afford more losses."

"So what do you mean...?"

"Ye Su’s own strength is weak; she relies on the Mutual Destruction Sword Skill to intimidate opponents of the same level. Find an opponent of the same level to defeat her."

"What if she tries to use the mutual destruction technique?"

"Then let her destroy herself. The important thing is, [we] can’t afford to lose any more people. According to the intelligence we’ve gathered, [Ye Deyao] is anything but simple; relying solely on us isn’t enough, we must preserve our elite forces to have the power to fight! I, Gu Shijiu, and others know more about [Ye Deyao]’s cultivation technique, with a few brief exchanges; keeping us for the final battle is more advantageous!"

"Then why send a same-level opponent, why not just sent anyone to die?"
