Chapter 336: Chapter 217: One Against 36 (Part 2)

What an extravagant move!

"Heh. Since you’re here, why the rush to leave?"

Just as Fang Yue and Li Mengyao finished speaking, a mocking laugh suddenly echoed from all around.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!

The next moment, a group of masked men in black rushed out, surrounding the entire dilapidated temple. There were thirty-six of them in total, and shockingly, every single one was an early-stage Innate Grandmaster!

Seeing this sudden turn of events, Li Mengyao’s pretty face turned deathly pale.

Martial Artists in the Grandmaster Realm could already glide through the air for short distances. Their combat power was far greater than a Martial Master at the Great Success of Qi Sensing; they weren’t even in the same league.

And now, thirty-six of them had appeared at once. This was an absolute catastrophe!

"You’re from the Changping Army? The Changping Army actually has this kind of power? To be able to dispatch so many Innate Grandmasters at once!" Fang Yue’s eyes narrowed. ’Innate Grandmasters are not a dime a dozen.’

Masters of this caliber were titans wherever they went, capable of supporting an entire Noble Family. For a mere Rebel King, who had been active for little more than a year, to have gathered so many Innate Grandmasters was truly astonishing.

"Hmph. Since you know who we are, surrender peacefully," the leader of the black-clothed men ordered coldly.

BOOM!

The next moment, all the black-clothed men attacked in unison.

In truth, Fang Yue wouldn’t have feared any of them in a one-on-one fight. But with so many attacking at once, even with his formidable strength and recent improvements, he felt his scalp tingle!

RUMBLE...

Waves of violent Primordial Qi surged forth, sweeping towards Fang Yue and Li Mengyao to completely engulf them.

"Fang Yue, be careful...!"

Li Mengyao cried out, her lovely face instantly draining of all color.

"Haha! Neither of you is getting away!"

The leader of the black-clothed men laughed, his expression exultant.

In his eyes, Fang Yue and his companion were as good as dead.

After all, they outnumbered their targets by more than ten to one. How could they possibly fail to take care of just two people?

But the next moment, something shocking happened!

Just before the attacks landed, Fang Yue grabbed Li Mengyao’s hand, smashed through a wall, and leaped out of the dilapidated temple.

BANG!

With a loud crash, the dilapidated temple collapsed.

The black-clothed men, who had been certain of their victory, were momentarily stunned.

’This...’

"After them! We can’t let them leave alive!"

An Innate Grandmaster roared, leading the others in pursuit.

Meanwhile, after pulling Li Mengyao through the wall, Fang Yue immediately plummeted toward the ravine below.

As it turned out, Fang Yue had already noticed that the temple was built on the edge of a cliff. Smashing through the wall was a way to get into the ravine, their only hope for survival.

"Were those people from the Changping Army?"

Li Mengyao’s heart was still pounding with terror. She would never forget the scene from a moment ago.

A group of Innate Grandmasters attacking in unison... the sheer power was horrifying.

Fang Yue nodded. "That’s right. Those guys were sent by the Changping Army."

The scene replayed in Fang Yue’s mind, and his doubts grew.

’How did they find us?’

’After all, I was so careful to cover our tracks, and we’re already outside the Changping Army’s sphere of influence. To be hunted down all the way here is extremely strange.’

’I didn’t think about it carefully before, but now that I do, the whole thing feels off.’

But there was no time for Fang Yue to dwell on it. They were already falling into the ravine, the wind howling past their ears, a heart-stopping sensation.

Fortunately, both of them had cultivation, and it wasn’t half bad.

At the bottom of the ravine was a turbulent river, its water crashing and flowing downstream, churning up white spray.

SPLASH!

Finally, Fang Yue and his companion landed steadily in the river.

The river water was clear, but the two of them were in a sorry state. Their clothes were in disarray, and fresh blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.

"Phew."

Letting out a long breath, Fang Yue wiped the blood from his mouth, looked at Li Mengyao, and smiled. "Miss Li, we were lucky. A fall like that would have left us either dead or seriously injured."

"Hm?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

Just then, Fang Yue’s brow twitched. He seemed to sense something, his gaze suddenly snapping in a certain direction.

"They’re coming after us!!!"

Fang Yue’s tone was ice-cold. He clenched his fists so tightly they made a cracking sound.

"Fang Yue, don’t worry about me! Just run! You might be able to escape on your own!" Seeing his expression, Li Mengyao’s face changed, and she spoke through gritted teeth.

She was deeply moved by Fang Yue’s actions but didn’t want him to fall into danger because of her.

"Don’t worry about me. We’ll keep running. It won’t be easy for them to catch us here!" Fang Yue shook his head.

Then, he once again took Li Mengyao and began to move swiftly.

SWISH SWISH SWISH...

Fang Yue’s feet skimmed across the water’s surface. Aided by the current, he rapidly fled into the distance, his speed climbing sharply.

Behind them, the thirty-six early-stage Innate Grandmaster Martial Artists had also reached the bottom of the ravine.

"There’s a poisonous miasma here. We must end this quickly!" the leader of the black-clothed men ordered in a low voice.

The ravine was filled with a thick, poisonous miasma. Even with their powerful Martial Arts Cultivation, Innate Grandmasters had to use their Primordial Qi to block it.

Otherwise, if they were affected by the miasma, even an Innate Grandmaster would be injured.

Therefore, they had to finish this fast and couldn’t afford any delays.

"Kill!"

The next moment, the thirty-six Innate Grandmasters surged forward, chasing after Fang Yue and his companion.

However, Fang Yue already had a head start, and now they had to use their Primordial Qi to resist the miasma, which slowed them down another notch.

It might not seem like much, but the speed of an Innate Martial Artist was already incredibly fast. A tiny difference could lead to a massive gap!

Seeing the distance between them and Fang Yue’s pair gradually widening, looks of annoyance appeared on the faces of the pursuers.

"Dammit! This guy is as cunning as they come!"

"He must have noticed the miasma long ago and deliberately lured us here."

"He knew how dangerous the miasma was but dared to enter anyway. He was obviously well-prepared. He really lives up to his reputation as number one on the Changping Army’s most-wanted list!"

"We can’t delay any longer! End this quickly!"

The black-clothed men all had grim expressions. They pulled out all the stops, their speed suddenly increasing as they chased after Fang Yue and his companion.

These Innate Martial Artists were all very fast, and now that they were going all out, they closed a large part of the distance in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Li Mengyao also noticed the large group of pursuers charging up from behind, and her heart filled with anxiety.

"Fang, this isn’t working! At this rate, they’re going to catch up to us!" Li Mengyao said urgently.

Fang Yue also noticed the scene behind them, his brow furrowing slightly.

However, the corner of his mouth curved up slightly, as if he were watching prey walk into a trap.

WHOOSH! Abruptly, he came to a sudden halt.

The sudden stop caught Li Mengyao completely off guard. She stumbled forward, falling right into Fang Yue’s arms, her nose even brushing against his chest.

And just as Li Mengyao was feeling shy, she heard Fang Yue’s calm words.

"Miss Li, don’t worry. Everything will be fine!"

Fang Yue’s voice was very gentle, as if it held a Magic Power that could soothe the soul. Li Mengyao’s heart instantly calmed down.

The next moment, Li Mengyao looked up and saw the determination on Fang Yue’s face. It was a conviction that inspired trust.

SWISH!

Fang Yue held Li Mengyao and leaped into the air.

This scene utterly stunned Li Mengyao. Her beautiful eyes went wide, and her mouth fell open.

She never imagined Fang Yue could be so crazy.

Because at that moment, Fang Yue had stopped running. Instead, he turned around, seemingly preparing to face the thirty-six pursuing Innate Grandmasters!

’Fang Yue is actually going to fight those thirty-six Innate Grandmasters head-on?’

"Young Master Fang, you..."

Li Mengyao couldn’t help but cry out in alarm. She truly couldn’t believe her eyes.

In her opinion, no matter how monstrously talented Fang Yue was, even if he could defeat a member of the Royal Family at Innate Great Success, that was still just one-on-one.

’How could he possibly win a one-versus-thirty-six fight?’

"Shh!"

But Fang Yue gave her no chance to warn him. He immediately placed a finger on his lips, silencing her.

Then, Fang Yue set Li Mengyao down. With his back to the riverbank, he stood beside a large boulder, his expression cold as he gazed behind them.

And in the next moment, the thirty-six Innate Masters arrived one after another.
