Chapter 1885: Chapter 1885
Su Yang smiled faintly without speaking, and instead stepped forward, clutching Fang Zishu's neck with one hand.
Fang Zishu let out a grunt, his body suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon.
Su Yang patted Fang Zishu twice on the back, and Fang Zishu suddenly opened his mouth, vomiting out a sparkling short sword.
The sword emitted a radiant light, completely matching Fang Zishu's aura. It seemed to be a sword that Fang Zishu nurtured inside his body specifically for surprise attacks, terrifying in its power.
"A top-notch assassin, truly extraordinary!" Su Yang casually tossed the short sword aside, saying lightly, "If you hadn't spat out so much blood, I wouldn't have realized you were harboring such a sword within your organs!"
Fang Zishu's face turned deathly pale. When Su Yang struck him earlier, the injury wasn't that severe. The main reason he spat out so much blood was to mislead Su Yang into thinking he was incapable of retaliating. In reality, he was preparing to use the short sword and counterattack when Su Yang was caught off guard.
Yet he hadn't expected Su Yang to see through his strategy, directly dissipating his gathered aura and extracting his Lifebound Immortal Sword. Now, he was completely devoid of any trump card and could only be at Su Yang's mercy.
At this moment, surprise finally showed on Fang Zishu's face.
"You… who exactly are you…" Fang Zishu stammered, genuinely frightened. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on NovelHub(.)net
Su Yang still did not answer, but instead sealed several key points on Fang Zishu's body, completely blocking Fang Zishu's power before stopping.
Wiping a hand across his face to change his appearance, Su Yang resumed his original form.
"Look at who I am!" Su Yang remarked with a faint smile.
Fang Zishu's eyes widened; he naturally recognized Su Yang and knew the identity of the person standing before him. Was there any chance for survival now that he was in Su Yang's hands?
But Fang Zishu couldn't comprehend why Su Yang would set up such a trap to target him.
This was Fang Zishu's first encounter with Su Yang, despite being a top-notch assassin, he had had no interactions with Su Yang. Although Fang Zishu followed the Divine Master, he had never killed anyone from Su Yang's side nor faced Su Yang directly.
Even though they were out to hunt people from Su Yang's side today, logically speaking, Su Yang shouldn't have noticed him. If Su Yang were setting traps for these people, it would supposedly be aimed at Sect Leader Qi and others, not him.
Besides, Su Yang disguised himself as Zhao He to lure him over, obviously targeting him!
"Su… Su Yang…" Fang Zishu stammered, "I have no grievance with you, what… what do you mean by targeting me ?"
Su Yang replied with a faint smile: "You stand with the Divine Master, chasing after me with them, so how is there no enmity? As for targeting you, haha, there's no need for you to know why."
Fang Zishu's expression changed again; Su Yang made it clear he was indeed targeting him. At this point, there was truly no hope of escape.
"You, Su, don't think you can scare me…" Fang Zishu hurriedly said, "Do you know how many people are here? How many top-notch cultivators are here? If you dare make a move here, our people will certainly notice. They might be gathering forces right now, preparing to encircle you. Su Yang, I advise you to immediately take Ye Wantong and leave, or else maybe there's a chance for survival. Otherwise, even if you kill me, you won't escape alive!"
Su Yang replied with a faint smile: "You're right, there are indeed many top-notch cultivators here. But haven't you wondered why, after so long, no one has come over?"
Fang Zishu's face subtly changed; in fact, this had puzzled him as well.
His strength wasn't far off from the likes of Beigong War God, and even though Su Yang was very strong now, to defeat him in one move would require his full effort.
When Su Yang took action earlier, he did indeed unleash a powerful force, the aura became very strong. In such circumstances, those cultivators around would surely notice immediately. But then why was there still no movement outside? Didn't those top-notch cultivators sense anything?
Su Yang waved his hand, releasing a powerful force against a nearby stone wall.
Yet, a strange thing happened. Su Yang's blow only made the stone wall wobble slightly, without causing any actual change.
Fang Zishu's eyes widened; he clearly saw the power of Su Yang's strike just now, enough to shatter the stone wall. But why did the strike merely make the stone wall wobble yet not fracture it? Was the stone wall really that strong?
"Haven't you understood yet?" Su Yang remarked with a faint smile, "This place no longer belongs to the Human World!"
"Wha… what do you mean…" Fang Zishu exclaimed, suddenly realizing what had actually happened to him.
"It's a Space Artifact, a very powerful Space Artifact!" Su Yang explained, "I intentionally placed this Space Artifact inside the cave; the entrance is the cave itself. By entering, you arrive in this space. This space is separate from the Human World. As long as my power can't break this space, the aura won't be detected by those outside!"
"That's… that's impossible!" Fang Zishu protested urgently, "When I was outside, I could feel your aura…"
"That was to lure you in; at the time we hadn't entered this space. When you were about to enter, that's when we came into this space." Su Yang explained with a faint smile, "Otherwise, how could we lure you in?"
Fang Zishu's face fell into despair; now he understood he truly had no hope of surviving. In another space, unless the space is broken, even if the Divine Master himself came, there would be no way to know where he was trapped.
"But why?" Fang Zishu asked unwillingly, unable to comprehend why Su Yang would devise such a grand scheme to trap him. Why not use such a scheme on the Divine Master himself, or at the very least on Sect Leader Qi and those people, why use it on him?
Su Yang smiled faintly; of course, he wouldn't explain the reason to Fang Zishu.
