Chapter 327: Chapter 213: The Return Journey

"Scram!"

Fang Yue coldly spat out a single word, his icy gaze fixed on the two guards.

The sheer force of his presence made both guards tremble, and they nearly collapsed to their knees.

Fang Yue’s power was terrifying. They were merely Bone Forging Martial Artists; how could they possibly resist him!

This time, they had truly picked a fight with the wrong person.

Fang Yue had no time to waste on them and charged straight ahead.

Seeing this, Li Mengyao charged forward with him.

"Stop them!"

Seeing this, one of the guards bellowed.

Terrified as they were, they feared the master from the Blood Dragon Platform even more. After all, they might die trying to stop this man.

But if they deserted their posts, a gruesome death was certain!

At this thought, the two guards could no longer care about how terrifying Fang Yue was and lunged directly at the pair.

A cold smile tugged at the corners of Fang Yue’s lips.

"WHAM! WHAM!"

With two swings of his fists, he knocked the guards to the ground before they could even get close.

The two of them charged ahead, soon bursting into the inner courtyard.

"Heh. I knew you’d be back. It seems my long wait wasn’t in vain!"

In the inner courtyard, a middle-aged man with an effeminate face stood up, watching Fang Yue with a sly smile as he spoke.

Dressed in green robes, this was none other than Ghost-faced Prajna, the Blood Dragon Platform expert who had chased Fang Yue into the Demon Realm months ago.

Fang Yue’s brow furrowed at the sight of him.

He was well aware of Ghost-faced Prajna’s strength.

Although his own power had increased dramatically, he still couldn’t afford to be careless when facing this man.

"I’m surprised myself. After all this time, you’re still here, lying in wait," Fang Yue said with a cold laugh. "Fine by me. This is the perfect chance to settle our score!"

Hearing this, Ghost-faced Prajna just smiled slyly. "Now, now, don’t be hasty. You know, some people won’t cry until they see their own coffin. I’ll give you one last chance. Hand over the item, and I’ll spare your life. Otherwise, you will die here today!"

Fang Yue just laughed and shook his head. "You talk too much. As for the item you mentioned, I’m not giving it to you. And as for killing me... I’m afraid you’re not capable of it."

Meanwhile, a thoughtful glint appeared in Li Mengyao’s eyes.

’As a sleeper agent for the Blood Dragon Platform, she naturally knew of this Ghost-faced Prajna. He was an expert who had reached the Great Success of Innate Grandmaster, a man of considerable status within the Blood Dragon Platform.’

’His mission in Guangfeng Prefecture is to turn the various Rebel Kings, stir up conflict, and destabilize the region.’

’Logically, with such an important mission, he shouldn’t be lingering here.’

’Yet Ghost-faced Prajna seems to have a personal grudge against Fang Yue. And Fang Yue has something he covets! I wonder what kind of treasure it is!’

With a flick of her eyes, Li Mengyao found herself even more intrigued by Fang Yue.

"So you really won’t hand it over? Then don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Ghost-faced Prajna’s expression turned ugly, and a murderous light entered his eyes as he glared at Fang Yue.

"Heh..."

Fang Yue scoffed. "You, merciless? I think you must have skipped breakfast."

Hearing Fang Yue’s words, Ghost-faced Prajna was so furious he was practically fuming. "How arrogant!"

With that, Ghost-faced Prajna lunged straight at Fang Yue.

Fang Yue met his charge with a cold snort, stepping forward and thrusting out a palm.

RUUUMBLE~

A terrifying pressure emanated outward, making the entire courtyard tremble violently.

Yet Ghost-faced Prajna seemed completely unaffected, continuing his charge toward Fang Yue.

"Hmph. You don’t know your own limits!" Fang Yue snorted, meeting the attack with a palm strike of his own.

As their palms collided, a brilliant light erupted. The terrifying force of the impact made both of them stagger.

Although Ghost-faced Prajna was unharmed, his eyes filled with utter shock. ’It’s only been a few months... How has Fang Yue gotten this strong?’

’An attack of this magnitude is impossible for a mere Qi Sensing Martial Master.’

"How is this possible..."

Ghost-faced Prajna was stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief.

’He knew Fang Yue’s strength well. He was a Martial Master at the Qi Sensing realm, but his combat prowess could rival a Grandmaster Martial Artist at the early Innate Stage.’

’An absolute genius of a Martial Artist!’

’But even a genius couldn’t possibly get this strong in such a short amount of time!’

’It defies all common sense!’

While Ghost-faced Prajna was still reeling from shock, Fang Yue’s figure suddenly appeared before him and attacked.

Ghost-faced Prajna’s expression changed drastically. He hastily raised a palm to defend.

Their palms collided once more.

CRACK!

Ghost-faced Prajna felt a tremendous force surge into his body. It felt as if his internal organs had been violently rearranged, and he gritted his teeth against the searing pain.

"BLECHH~~"

Finally, Ghost-faced Prajna couldn’t stop himself from spitting a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backward.

A look of humiliation crossed Ghost-faced Prajna’s face. He never imagined he would actually lose to this brat.

"Fang Yue, you really are something else! You win this time, but I’ll be back. And next time, I guarantee you’ll die a miserable death!"

Ghost-faced Prajna clutched his chest and roared viciously at Fang Yue.

Though he seethed with unwillingness, he had to admit Fang Yue’s power. He didn’t even wait for his words to fade before activating his Body Technique and fleeing for his life, terrified that a moment’s delay would mean his death at Fang Yue’s hands.

Once Ghost-faced Prajna was gone, the air suddenly fell silent.
