The Strongest Qi Refining Period
Chapter 137
Chapter 137: Danger Level Extremely Low?
Liu Liansha, who had been pushed to the ground by Fang Yu, looked at the small grove that had collapsed ahead, her eyes filled with shock.
A figure lay on the ground beside the grove, a pool of fresh blood spreading out beneath him.
He was wearing a dark green camouflage suit, similar in color to the grove.
It seemed he was the Chameleon.
Fang Yu stepped forward, lifted his foot, and flipped the Chameleon’s body over, revealing his face.
He was a European.
“He, he’s dead?” Liu Liansha stepped closer, staring at the bloodied, motionless Chameleon, and asked.
“What do you think?” Fang Yu glanced at Liu Liansha indifferently.
Liu Liansha shuddered.
Indeed, with such a large grove collapsing, how could the Chameleon, who was hiding inside, possibly survive?
However, Fang Yu’s earlier actions had once again reshaped Liu Liansha’s understanding.
Fang Yu had merely waved his hand lightly in the air, yet it had caused such immense destruction!
This kind of power, Liu Liansha had only witnessed in her master!
But her master was a powerful figure at the Martial Sovereign level!
The Fang Yu before her looked even younger than she was, yet possessed terrifying strength equivalent to that of a Martial Sovereign…
Who exactly was Fang Yu?
Not only in the Nine Provinces, but if the world knew of someone like Fang Yu, it would surely cause a huge sensation, right?
“Let’s go, there’s one last one left,” Fang Yu said.
“…Okay, okay.” Liu Liansha finally managed to regain her composure.
“By the way, don’t forget to take pictures of them,” Fang Yu reminded her again.
Liu Liansha hurriedly took out her phone from her pocket and snapped a photo of the Chameleon on the ground.
When they had dealt with the previous few assassins, Fang Yu had already asked her to take pictures, although she didn’t understand the purpose behind it.
“Could it be… Fang Yu wants to collect these photos for some reason… Is he a psychologically twisted serial killer?” The thought sent a chill down Liu Liansha’s spine.
It was quite plausible; Fang Yu always had that cold, expressionless demeanor, which was simply abnormal!
If Fang Yu really was a psychopathic killer, wouldn’t her situation be very dangerous?
No, she had to find a way to return to her sect!
As for the curse mark on her body, once she saw her master, her master would definitely have a way to help her remove it!
“Hey!” Fang Yu tapped Liu Liansha on the head, startling her into a scream, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
Seeing Liu Liansha’s startled reaction, Fang Yu frowned slightly.
“Y-you’re not going to kill me, are you…” Liu Liansha’s face turned pale as she spoke.
“I’m asking you, where is the eighth assassin?” Fang Yu inquired.
“Oh… he’s in Jian Nan Village in Jiang Hai City.” Liu Liansha sighed in relief and stood up.
“Jian Nan Village?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
The fact that they had found that place indicated that they had already gathered some information about his whereabouts.
…
On the way to Jian Nan Village, Liu Liansha said, “The eighth assassin is called Superhuman Caesar. He ranks nineteenth on the Dark List and is extremely powerful…”
“Superhuman? That name sounds like something from a movie,” Fang Yu remarked.
“It’s said that he came from a genetic laboratory… that laboratory specialized in some prohibited human experiments. Caesar is one of the products of that laboratory; he is a modified human with immense strength. The laboratory’s initial designation for him was a lethal human weapon…” Liu Liansha explained.
“A human weapon? That sounds impressive,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah… If he weren’t powerful, how could he possibly rank in the top twenty of the Dark List? The strength gap between the top twenty and those ranked below is far more than just one tier,” Liu Liansha paused and continued, “The top twenty on the Dark List are all the strongest assassins from around the world, each with a formidable reputation in their respective regions.”
Liu Liansha was shocked when she found out that Superhuman Caesar had also come to Jiang Hai City to assassinate Fang Yu.
She had thought that the big shots ranked in the top twenty of the Dark List wouldn’t care about a mere one hundred million dollar bounty.
“From what you’re saying, this is quite interesting. Who is ranked first on the Dark List?” Fang Yu asked curiously.
“First on the Dark List? That’s an unspeakable existence… The first position on the ranking is left blank,” Liu Liansha replied.
“So, there’s no first on the Dark List?” Fang Yu asked.
“Of course there is! But this person’s identity is extremely mysterious; no one has ever seen him or knows his identity. Even the Dark List cannot list his name…” Liu Liansha murmured.
“So mysterious? I think the first on the Dark List doesn’t even exist,” Fang Yu said with a faint smile.
“It definitely exists! Although the first on the Dark List doesn’t have his name, his deeds are recorded. You can take a look; everything he has done is quite astonishing…” Liu Liansha said, a hint of admiration appearing in her eyes.
People tend to admire the strong, especially Liu Liansha, who particularly liked those with an air of mystery.
Soon, Fang Yu and Liu Liansha arrived at Jian Nan Village.
Fang Yu had lived here for several years, and now the entire village was about to be demolished and rebuilt, with very few households remaining.
“It’s said that Caesar has a brain comparable to a computer, and his sensory abilities are as precise as sophisticated instruments. His strength is on a completely different level from the previous seven assassins; we should take our time to approach…” After arriving at Jian Nan Village, Liu Liansha lowered her voice.
But Fang Yu continued to walk boldly forward, showing no intention of being quiet.
Liu Liansha had no choice but to follow him.
“Caesar should be in an abandoned building in the middle of this village…” Liu Liansha said.
“No need to look for him; if he’s as powerful as you say, he’ll come out to meet us soon enough,” Fang Yu replied.
Thus, Fang Yu and Liu Liansha walked confidently down the empty and quiet street.
Since this urban village had very few residents left, the streetlights were off, and only scattered moonlight fell on the ground.
After walking for another two or three minutes, Fang Yu stopped.
“He’s coming.”
Fang Yu turned his head to look at a nearby alley.
In the moonlight, a tall figure emerged from the alley.
“Target confirmed, Fang Yu.” The figure slowly walked out of the alley, his eyes glowing red, fixed directly on Fang Yu.
He was about two meters tall, his entire body radiating a faint silver glow, looking nothing like human skin.
His arms were particularly thick and very long. Standing straight, his hands could reach the ground, making his body proportions quite unbalanced.
“I hadn’t even looked for you, yet you came to me,” Caesar said, gazing at Fang Yu, his eyes flickering with red light.
“H-he’s Superhuman Caesar… he really looks just like in the photos…” Liu Liansha stared blankly at the person before her, her face slightly pale.
While Fang Yu and Liu Liansha were assessing Caesar, Caesar was scanning Fang Yu from head to toe.
“Combat power: 96, danger level: extremely low. He can be easily eliminated with a blade,” Caesar observed Fang Yu, the voice of the system echoing in his mind.
Caesar glanced at Liu Liansha beside Fang Yu.
“Combat power: 376, danger level: medium. Analysis indicates this person’s identity: ranked 67th on the Dark List, codename Red Fox. She carries several types of threatening weapons and should be dealt with first,” the system in Caesar’s mind stated.
Caesar raised his right hand.
“Swish!”
A blade suddenly extended from his palm!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
He charged forward rapidly, swinging the blade towards Liu Liansha!
Liu Liansha didn’t expect to become Caesar’s primary target; she froze in place, unable to dodge in time.
“Bang!”
Fang Yu reached out and directly caught Caesar’s blade.
“Are you sure you’ve got the right person? I’m the target here,” Fang Yu said.
Caesar looked at Fang Yu, the mechanical red light in his eyes flickering.
“This person has a combat power of only 96; how can he catch my blade with his hand?” Caesar asked.
“The system is recalculating, please wait.”
The blade in Caesar’s hand suddenly retracted, and a dark hole appeared in his palm!
“Boom!”
A burst of flames erupted, engulfing Fang Yu in a ball of fire.
Liu Liansha, startled, screamed and quickly dodged to the side.
