The appearance of the black shadow made Fang Yue's heart tighten, but he did not show too much panic.

He quickly took a look at the black shadow and found that the other party was quite powerful, but he was not afraid of it.

"If you want the key, it depends on whether you have the ability." Fang Yue said coldly, while holding the key tightly in his hand.

The black shadow snorted, moved, and pounced towards Fang Yue.

He was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye he was in front of Fang Yue and reached out to grab the key.

Fang Yue was prepared and dodged the attack of the black shadow with a flash of his body.

He took the opportunity to throw a punch, aiming straight at the black shadow's chest.

The black shadow didn't expect Fang Yue's reaction to be so quick and his punching power was so amazing.

He hurriedly took a few steps back and at the same time swung out a palm, colliding with Fang Yue's fist.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the palms of the two men collided, generating a powerful shock wave.

The black shadow and Fang Yue were both pushed back a few steps, but Fang Yue stood firmly in place, while the black shadow looked a little embarrassed.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable." The black shadow said coldly, "But do you think you can keep the key like this? That's ridiculous."

Fang Yue didn't say anything, just looked at the black shadow coldly.

He knew that the battle had just begun, and he also wanted to test how powerful this black shadow was.

The black shadow attacked again. His figure was like a ghost, moving left and right, making it difficult to predict.

But Fang Yue relied on his keen perception and powerful strength to dodge the black shadow's attacks time and time again.

The two men engaged in a fierce battle in the temple, with whistling palm winds and surging energy.

Every attack contains powerful force and should not be underestimated.

As time went by, the black shadow gradually showed signs of fatigue.

His attack speed slowed down and his strength weakened a lot.

However, Fang Yue still maintained his strong fighting spirit, and each of his punches and kicks were full of power.

The black shadow was secretly anxious. He originally thought that he could quickly get rid of Fang Yue and seize the key, but he didn't expect Fang Yue's strength to be so powerful, far beyond his expectations.

He knew that he could not delay any longer and had to make a quick decision.

So the black shadow took a deep breath and moved again.

This time he did not adopt the previous fighting style, but rushed directly towards Fang Yue and launched the most violent attack.

His palms swung out like lightning, with fierce momentum, aiming straight at Fang Yue's vital points.

Seeing this, Fang Yue's eyes fixed, and he also rushed forward. He used all his internal strength, punched out with both fists, and collided fiercely with the palm power of the black shadow.

"Boom!"

The loud noise rang out again, and this time the impact was even more violent than before.

The entire space seemed to be shaken, with air waves rolling and dust rising. Under this huge impact, the already dilapidated temple was even more shaky and rubble flew everywhere.

The black shadow and Fang Yue were repelled again, but this time, the black shadow retreated much farther than Fang Yue. His face turned pale, and he had obviously suffered a great loss in the previous fight. Although Fang Yue was also impacted, he still stood straight with a firm look in his eyes, like an unshakable mountain.

"You...you are so powerful..." The black shadow gasped, his voice revealing disbelief and unwillingness.

Fang Yue did not answer, but just looked at the black shadow coldly. He knew that this battle had reached a critical moment, the black shadow had already used all his strength, and he could not relax at all.

The shadow struggled to stand up, knowing that he had no way out. He rushed towards Fang Yue again, trying to launch a final attack. However, his speed and strength were no longer as good as before, and Fang Yue easily dodged his attack and punched him in the chest with a backhand punch.

The shadow flew out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but found that he had no strength left. He looked up at Fang Yue, his eyes full of reluctance and helplessness.

"I lost..." the black shadow whispered, revealing endless loss in his voice.

Fang Yue looked at the black shadow, but he didn't feel much joy in his heart.

"Who are you?"

Fang Yue asked in a deep voice, staring at the black shadow lying on the ground with sharp eyes.

The shadow took a few breaths before slowly speaking: "I am just an executor, just following orders."

"On whose orders?" Fang Yue asked, his brows revealing unquestionable majesty.

The shadow smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know who the real person behind the scenes is. We just receive tasks and instructions in a specific way."

Fang Yue frowned, realizing that there might be a deeper conspiracy behind this. He did not continue to question the black shadow, because he knew that an executor like him might not know too many inside stories.

"Go ahead." Fang Yue finally said, turning around and preparing to leave the ruins.

The shadow was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Fang Yue to let him go. He struggled to stand up, looked at Fang Yue deeply, and whispered, "Thank you for not killing me."

After saying that, the black shadow staggered out of the ruins and disappeared into the night.

Fang Yue stood there, holding the key in his hand, his eyes deep.

After Fang Yue deliberately let the black shadow go, he did not leave the ruins of the temple immediately.

Instead, he hid in a secluded corner, staring sharply in the direction where the shadow left.

He had a plan in mind: by following the shadow, perhaps he could follow the clues and find the real mastermind behind the scenes.

The black shadow was obviously seriously injured, and his steps seemed a little unsteady, but his speed was still quite fast.

Fang Yue followed the black shadow carefully, keeping a certain distance to avoid being discovered.

He used the surrounding buildings and trees as cover, sometimes moving quickly and sometimes standing still to observe.

The black shadow passed through a deserted street and came to a dilapidated house.

He looked around and made sure that no one was following him before pushing the door open and walking in.

Fang Yue hid behind a tree in the distance and observed quietly.

After a while, a black figure walked out of the house with a package in his hand. He looked around vigilantly and then left quickly.

Fang Yue's heart moved, but he did not continue to follow. Instead, he walked directly towards the house in front of him.

Fang Yue walked to the door of the dilapidated house, gently pushed it open and walked in.

He looked around and found that the house was simply furnished but neat and tidy.

Obviously, although this place is shabby, someone has taken good care of it.

"You're here?" A deep voice suddenly sounded, which made Fang Yue stunned for a moment. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man walking out of the inner room, staring at him sharply.

"Who are you?" Fang Yue asked vigilantly, while secretly using his internal strength to prepare for possible emergencies.

"You don't have to be nervous,"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "If I wanted to do something bad to you, I would have done it just now when you were following Chen Huang."

Fang Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that his tracking was discovered by the other party.

But he also understood that now was not the time to take action and he needed to remain calm.

"So, who are you? Why do you know I would come here?" Fang Yue asked.

"I wonder if you have heard of the Twelve Terrors." The middle-aged man replied calmly.

"Twelve Panics?"

Fang Yue frowned. He had been in the martial arts world for many years, but had never heard of this name.

But the mystery and majesty revealed in this name made him feel wary.

The middle-aged man nodded. "The Twelve Terrors is a secret organization composed of twelve top masters. Each of us has our own identity and status in the martial arts world, but among the Twelve Terrors, we are just one of the members. Chen Huang is the eleventh Terror."

Fang Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be involved in such a mysterious organization tonight.

"So, who are you?" Fang Yue asked tentatively.

"I'm ranked fifth," the middle-aged man answered calmly, "You can call me Song Huang."

Fang Yue took a deep breath. He knew that what he was facing tonight was no longer a simple black shadow, but a huge and mysterious organization.

The situation in the Wei Dynasty is getting deeper and deeper!
He had originally come here just for a key, but he had not expected that it would involve such a complicated matter. The existence of the Twelve Panics organization made him feel an inexplicable pressure.

"So, Mr. Song Huang," Fang Yue tried to make his voice sound calm, "are you waiting for me here for this key?"

Song Huang shook his head slightly, his eyes revealing a deep and calm look, "The key is important, but I am more interested in you. Your strength surprises me."

After hearing this, Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a little confused. He looked at Song Huang and waited for his next words.

Song Huang continued, "We are always looking for young masters with potential. The fact that you were able to defeat Chen Huang shows that you are extraordinary. The Twelve Terrors are always looking for new talents to join our cause."

Fang Yue's heart was moved, and he couldn't help asking: "Great cause? What great cause?"

"Suppress the demon!"

Song Huang uttered two words, looking at Fang Yue with burning eyes, "The mission of the Twelve Panics is to guard those ancient, sealed demons and ensure that they will not come to the human world and harm it."

After hearing this, Fang Yue was silent for a long time. Such a mission was indeed moving.

He knew that in this world, in addition to the fights between people, there were also many unknown secrets and dangers hidden.

Demon-suppressing is undoubtedly one of them.

However, Fang Yue would not join the other party just because of a few words from the other party.

After all, although this person hid himself very well, he still exuded a hint of murderous intent.

"Haha, it seems you are unwilling!"

Song Huang chuckled, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty: "I have already set up a formation here. If you know what's good for you, hand over the key, otherwise you will die today."

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. Sure enough, this man was still after the key.

It seems that there will be a fierce battle today.

Although Fang Yue was surprised in his heart, his expression remained calm.

He slowly glanced around, trying to find the flaws in the formation, while secretly gathering his internal strength to prepare for the upcoming challenge.

"Mr. Song Huang, you are too confident." Fang Yue said calmly, "Do you think you can trap me with just a formation?"

Song Huang smiled indifferently: "You can try."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yue felt the air flow around him suddenly become abnormal, as if an invisible force was compressing his movement space.

He tried to take a step forward, but felt a huge resistance, as if there was an invisible wall blocking him.

This is the power of the formation!
Fang Yue's heart trembled, but he did not panic. He knew very well that any formation had its flaws, and as long as he found the flaw, he could break the entire formation.

So, he began to carefully observe the surrounding environment, trying to find out the rules of the formation. At the same time, he also constantly mobilized his internal strength, trying to break through the constraints of the formation.

Seeing this, Song Huang couldn't help but frown slightly. He didn't expect Fang Yue to be so calm and still try to crack his formation. This made him feel a little uneasy, but at the same time, he was more determined to seize the key.

"Hmph, do you think you can break my formation?" Song Huang snorted coldly and formed seals with his hands to strengthen the power of the formation.

Fang Yue felt the pressure from all around him suddenly increase, but he did not give up. He took a deep breath, concentrated his energy to the extreme, and then rushed forward.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Fang Yue felt as if he had hit an indestructible wall. The huge recoil made him take several steps back. He shook his head, shook off the golden stars in front of his eyes, and stared ahead again, with a determined look on his face.

Song Huang looked at Fang Yue, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He didn't expect Fang Yue to be able to withstand the backlash of the formation and recover quickly. This gave him a deeper understanding of Fang Yue's strength, and at the same time, he was more determined to seize the key.

"I didn't expect you to have some skills." Song Huang said coldly, "But do you think you can break my formation like this? You are so naive."

At the same time, dozens of men in black appeared around.

As soon as these people appeared, they drew their bows and arrows and aimed at Fang Yue. As long as Song Huang gave the order, they would shoot the sharp arrows without mercy.

Fang Yue glanced at the men in black around him, knowing that this was an ambush set by Song Huang to seize the key. However, there was no fear in his eyes.

"Song Huang, you really put a lot of thought into this key." Fang Yue said coldly.

Song Huang smiled slightly, his eyes revealing cunning and coldness: "In order to achieve the goal, use any means necessary. Isn't this the norm for people in the underworld?"

Fang Yue did not speak, but silently adjusted his breathing, preparing for the next challenge. He knew that this contest was no longer a simple duel of force, but also a contest of wits and strategies.

"Then, you can try to escape from my formation." Song Huang said, and formed seals with his hands again to strengthen the power of the formation.

Seeing this, the men in black also tightened their bowstrings, waiting for Song Huang's order.

However, Fang Yue did not panic. He took a deep breath, concentrated his internal strength to the extreme, and then suddenly rushed in one direction.

"Shoot!" Song Huang ordered loudly.

Dozens of sharp arrows were shot at the same time, but Fang Yue's figure was like a ghost, weaving through the rain of arrows and breaking out of the formation unscathed.

"This...how is this possible?" Song Huang said in disbelief.

Fang Yue stood outside the formation and looked at Song Huang coldly: "I have broken your formation." (End of this chapter)
