the statue, there's a scripture. You must place the scripture in the statue's hand!" the Archbishop said urgently.Chen Xiangwen's face darkened."Stop hesitating and don't even think about asking Fang...Fang Yu grasped the massive axe with one hand, his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the figure in black above him.

The man in black had his face covered, revealing only a pair of eyes that blazed with both terror and murderous intent.

It seems I've made an enemy at the auction just now," Fang Yu said with a faint smile.

Before he could finish his words, the man in black suddenly exerted force with both hands, trying to lift the axe again.

But the axe was firmly grasped in Fang Yu's hand, motionless.

The man in black's eyes changed slightly, and his hands gathered qi.

"Wow!"

The entire axe suddenly burst into golden flames.

Fang Yu's right hand was also burned by the flames.

A hint of mockery flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes.

The next second, he felt a tremendous force from the axe pulling him down.

"Bang!"

The black-cloaked figure didn't even have time to react before letting go, and the whole person fell to the ground with a burst of dust.

Fang Yu stood still, clenching his hand on the axe tighter.

This time, the black-clothed man could no longer withstand the powerful force, and Fang Yu snatched the entire axe from him.

With the severance from the black-clad man's grasp, the flames on the axe vanished.

Fang Yu brought the axe closer for a look. He could see that on the black copper axe head, there was an engraved 'Lu' character, not too big nor small.

It's really a killer sent by the Lu family.

But the man in black before him was only at the Yuan Ying stage of cultivation, comparable to Lu Jia's heiress, Lu Chuyue.

"Your young mistress isn't honorable. She wouldn't make a move against me just now, in front of everyone. Now she sends you to test my strength, doesn't she You're being sent to your death for nothing!" Fang Yu said.

The man in black stood up, his gaze towards Fang Yu now holding a different meaning.

Although still fraught with danger, there was a hint of awe.

Fang Yu's strength truly exceeded his expectations.

But no matter what, Fang Yu must die!

This is the young lady's command, it must be completed!

The man in black stood still, raising his hands and forming intricate hand seals.

His ten fingers, like brushes, glistened with a faint yellow light, leaving behind brilliant strokes of color in the air.

At the same time, a wave of energy slowly rose.

"Phantom like a tiger!" The man in black let out a low growl, pushing his right hand forward.

"Roar..."

A deafening roar of a tiger shook the air, and a large tiger with a faint yellow glow all over its body pounced towards Fang Yu.

"Qi transforming into substance Interesting." Fang Yu stood his ground, facing the charging tiger, his right fist clenched.

And at this moment, the man in black's hands were still drawing rapidly, showing no signs of stopping.

"Phantom like a wolf!" With a shove of his right hand, a vicious wolf accompanied by a long howl, lunged at Fang Yu.

"

Boom!"

At this moment, the fierce tiger condensed from true energy in front of him had already been shattered by Fang Yu's punch.

A massive amount of compressed qi exploded in an instant, with incredibly powerful force.

The sidewalk and the lake's railing were both blown apart along with the road.

The wolves charging at Fang Yu were all affected by the explosion, their bodies flickering and almost collapsing.

But the one most affected was the man in black, who was rapidly drawing with his qi.

As he was completely focused on the qi apparition before him, he didn't have time to react or defend himself.

Thus, the true qi that erupted ahead slammed heavily into him.

"Pff!"

The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body shooting backward like a cannonball, landing thirty meters away. He rolled several times before coming to a stop.

Behind her, Ye Shengxue used the Bingxin Jue to barely withstand this attack.

Fang Yu's figure moved, flying toward the location where the man in black had fallen.

Along the way, Fang Yu casually punched the werewolf phantom that had been knocked to a halt by the impact.

Another wave of true qi spread.

Then, Fang Yu landed in front of the fallen black-clad man.

"Where did you learn this spell It's completely useless," Fang Yu said with a faint smile.

The cloaked figure at this moment, the black veil covering their face soaked through with blood.

He looked at Fang Yu in front of him, his eyes full of astonishment.

He had never imagined that Fang Yu, with just a single punch of his physical body, could blast the tiger formed by condensed true energy to pieces!

In his understanding, this was simply impossible!

This is their Lu family's secret technique!

This secret technique is the foundation upon which the Lu family has established itself in Beidu's martial arts world!

The phantom tiger, painstakingly formed by Fang Yu's expenditure of immense true qi... was as flimsy as paper, unable to withstand even a single blow!

"Qi must be condensed and focused, and the process of its deployment must be swift. Otherwise, it loses all meaning." Fang Yu said calmly.

At the same time, he raised his right hand.

A faint golden glow appeared on his right hand.

"You just condensed a tiger, didn't you Well, I can condense one too." Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, extending his index finger and drawing a circle in the air.

Then, one more golden circle appeared in the air.

The next second, a tiger leaped out of the golden ring!

Its appearance was exactly the same as the ferocious tiger that the man in black had condensed just now, only the light on its body was even more dazzling.

"Roar..."

The ferocious tiger opened its blood-dripping maw and roared fiercely.

The man in black had his eyes wide open, full of fear.

"Bang!"

The next second, the man in black was swallowed whole by the tiger's massive jaws, accompanied by a sharp cracking sound of bones.

Just like being chewed by a real beast, the sound alone is terrifying.

After a few seconds, Fang Yu gently brushed his right hand forward.

The entire tiger vanished in an instant.

And all that remained on the ground was a large pool of blood.

The man in black vanished without a trace.

"Although it's just a top-grade spell, the effect seems quite good," Fang Yu thought to himself.

The magic he just used, named Huálíng Shù, comes from the former second-rank sect, Yùshòu Mén.

This spell is similar to the one used by the Black Cloaked Men, but the difference lies in Fang Yu's method. He doesn't need to draw the beast's appearance with both hands; he only needs to imagine it in his mind. As long as his true energy and incantations are proficient enough, the casting process is quite swift.

"Mr. Fang."

Yè Shèngxuě walked over from behind and spoke softly.

“Let’s go home,” Fang Yu said, walking forward.

……

At ten o'clock at night, most people were already asleep, but the Tang family was plunged into chaos.

Tang Ming was still lying in his hospital bed, unexpectedly, Tang Cong, who had accompanied Lu Chu Yue to the auction tonight, was also sent to the hospital!

When people heard this news, the entire Tang family was thrown into chaos!

Mr. and Mrs. Tang immediately went to the First Hospital where their son, Tang Cong, was located.

In the hospital room, Tang Dehui saw Tang Cong with his cheeks wrapped in thick bandages, and Lu Chu Yue sitting beside his bed.

"First month."

When Tang Dehui and his wife saw Lu Chu Yue, their faces immediately became respectful.

Although they were about to become Lu Chuyue's in-laws, they still didn't dare to be careless.

After all, she is the jewel of the Lu family.

If it weren't for Tang Cong's ability and getting Lu Chu Yue's favor, they would never be able to reach her level in their lifetime.

"Uncle, Aunt, hello." Lu Chu Yue stood up and said softly.

"Cóng'er... how is he" To maintain his composure, Tang Dehui suppressed the unease and anger in his heart as he asked.

"It's alright, he just got a few scratches on his face. He just had some painkillers injected, and he'll wake up soon. I have a herbal remedy at home that treats these kinds of external injuries, I'm having someone bring it over." Lu Chu Yue said.

"That's good, that's good." Both Mr. and Mrs. Tang sighed with relief.

In six days, they will be hosting an engagement party with the Lu family.

This engagement party is sure to attract the attention of the entire secular world in Beidu, and even the martial arts world might take notice.

If, in the end, there are still scars on Tang Cong's face... it would be too inappropriate.

"At first glance, who... hurt Cong'er like this" Tang Dehui looked at Lu Chuyue and asked.

At this moment, Lu Chu Yue's face was calm as she replied, "It is a man named Fang Yu."

"Fang Yu!" The faces of Mr. and Mrs. Tang Dehui changed drastically.

Here it is again, that bastard!

I just beat up Toming yesterday, and today I beat up Tomson!

And this time, he even beat up Tang Cong in front of Lu Chu Yue... How can that be tolerated It's simply unbearable!

"This goddamn bastard…" Tang Dehui couldn't suppress the anger in his chest at all. His face was ashen, and his fists were clenched tight.

"Uncle, you needn't worry. I have already sent people to handle him. Good news should arrive soon." Lu Chu Yue said calmly.

Tang Dehui looked up at Lu Chu Yue, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.e very good." Fang Yu raised an eyebrow."You're right, I will kill you, so that you'll never have a chance to speak again, and repent in hell." Du Hongtian's eyes were cold. Before he finished speakin...
