Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

He began to study the runes on the stone pillar carefully. The runes were crooked and looked like some ancient and evil text.

Although Fang Yue had seen many strange runes, the complexity of these runes in front of him still made him frown slightly.

He tried to touch the runes lightly with his fingers, and a bone-chilling feeling instantly spread throughout his body, as if these runes were alive and were resisting his approach.

Fang Yue's heart trembled and he quickly withdrew his fingers.

He knew very well that if he tried to crack it by force, he might trigger a more dangerous mechanism.

Fang Yue closed his eyes, calmed down, and tried to use his vital energy to sense the energy flow of the runes.

He discovered that the energy of these runes seemed to be arranged in a specific formation, which was closely related to the "earth" element in the five elements.

Fang Yue was just about to break the formation when the lord in the hall in the distance noticed an invasion.

The Lord sat in the depths of the gloomy hall, surrounded by a thick evil aura. His eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Humph, you are such a fool, how dare you come here?"

The Lord's deep voice echoed in the hall, revealing endless anger and cold murderous intent.

He gently waved his black robe sleeve, and a black aura flew out from his fingertips, instantly turning into a black bird and rushing towards the direction where Fang Yue was.

The bird was flying at an extremely fast speed. Wherever it passed, evil energy rolled and a black whirlwind was created.

On Fang Yue's side, he was just about to concentrate on breaking the rune formation according to the principle of the five elements when he suddenly felt a powerful evil aura approaching him rapidly.

He was startled, knowing that his actions had been discovered.

He temporarily put aside his study of runes, turned to face the direction where the evil aura came from, gripped the sword in his hand tightly, and prepared for battle.

In a moment, the black bird appeared in his sight.

Fang Yue's eyes flashed, and he saw a bird opening its sharp beak and swooping towards him at a speed as fast as a black lightning.

Fang Yue's figure flashed and moved several feet to the left, and the black bird missed.

But it turned around in an instant and pounced towards Fang Yue again.

Fang Yue snorted coldly, and swung the sword in his hand. A white blade of vitality slashed towards the bird. The blade collided with the bird, making a sharp hissing sound.

The black bird was hit by the sword blade, but it did not dissipate. Instead, it flapped its wings and flew high, circling above Fang Yue's head.

Suddenly, a black flame spurted out of its mouth, and the flame devoured Fang Yue like a ferocious beast.

Fang Yue did not dare to be careless. He mobilized the energy in his body and formed a white shield around his body.

The black flames hit the shield, causing a violent wave, and the surrounding air was distorted by this force.

Fang Yue knew that this flying bird was just a small test from the Lord, and the real danger was still to come.

He took advantage of the gap between the bird's attacks and turned around again to look at the runes on the stone pillar.

He must break this formation as soon as possible, otherwise the opponent will be able to use this formation to attack him.

Fang Yue knew that time was running out, so he refocused his attention on the runes on the stone pillar.

Based on his previous judgment of the connection between rune energy and the "earth" element, he began to extract the power of the "wood" element from his own vitality.

This is an extremely delicate operation that requires a high degree of concentration. If there is any mistake, the backlash of his vitality will injure him.

Fang Yue carefully guided the strand of vital energy containing the "wood" element and slowly approached the stone pillar rune.

Just when the vitality was about to touch the rune, the black bird seemed to sense his intention and launched another attack.

It folded its wings and rushed towards Fang Yue like a sharp black arrow, its target being the hand that controlled his vital energy.

Fang Yue's heart tightened, but if he withdrew his energy at this moment, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and it would be even more difficult to find such an opportunity next time.

He gritted his teeth, continued to channel his energy, and dodged the bird's attack by moving sideways.

Birds flew past his shoulders, their sharp claws cutting several holes in his clothes.

Fang Yue didn't care about these. He successfully injected the "wood" elemental energy into the rune.

In an instant, the rune shone brightly and the stone pillar began to shake violently.

The evil energy around seemed to have received a huge impact and began to surge wildly.

The black bird was also affected by this force and shook a few times in the air.

Fang Yue seized the opportunity and swung his sword at the flying bird again.

This time, the sword was attached with the special power generated by breaking the rune formation. The blade scratched across the bird's body, and black feathers fell one after another. The bird let out a shrill scream and turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

However, before Fang Yue could catch his breath, the figure of the Lord was already looming in the distance.

The Lord was extremely fast and in a few flashes he arrived not far from Fang Yue.

After the Lord stood still, he looked at Fang Yue coldly, his eyes full of contempt:
"You think you can fight me just by breaking a small formation? How foolish of you."

Fang Yue looked directly at the Lord and said fearlessly: "You are an evil person. You will eventually perish if you do too much evil. Today I will completely eradicate you and your Shadow Sect."

After hearing Fang Yue's words, the Lord laughed up to the sky and said, "Just you? Do you know what level I have reached in practicing the Shadow Evil Art? Today I will let you experience true despair."

After saying this, the Lord began to quickly form seals with his hands, and black lights flickered and danced at his fingertips.

As he moved, the evil energy around him gathered towards him like a surging tide, forming a huge black vortex in front of him.

From within the whirlpool, there were faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, as if countless wronged souls were struggling within it.

Seeing this, Fang Yue did not dare to be careless at all. He quickly adjusted his state and circulated the vital energy in his body to the extreme.

He knew very well that the Lord's strength was unfathomable, and the next battle would definitely be a life-and-death contest.

After the Lord completed the seal, he shouted loudly, and the black vortex rushed towards Fang Yue.

Wherever the vortex passed, the space seemed to be distorted, and the powerful suction made Fang Yue feel that his feet were somewhat unstable.

Fang Yue stomped his feet on the ground and rushed to the side like an arrow, trying to avoid the fatal blow.

However, the black vortex seemed to have its own consciousness. It turned slightly in the air and continued to chase Fang Yue.

Fang Yue's heart trembled. He knew that hiding like this was not a solution.

He seized the opportunity, turned suddenly, grasped the sword tightly with both hands, and injected all his energy into it.

The sword instantly shone brightly, and complex runes appeared on the sword. These runes were similar to the runes on the stone pillar that he had just cracked. "Break!"

Fang Yue shouted and swung his sword fiercely towards the black vortex.

A huge white blade shot out from the tip of the sword and collided head-on with the black vortex.

The moment the sword blade collided with the vortex, a dazzling light burst out, and powerful energy waves spread in all directions. The surrounding trees were uprooted by this force, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, causing chaos.

When the Lord saw that Fang Yue could actually withstand his attack, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by disdain.

He waved his hands again, and another black evil energy surged out of his body and flew towards Fang Yue.

This evil energy gradually condensed into a black python during the flight. The python opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs, and pounced towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue had just resisted the attack of the black vortex, and consumed a lot of his energy, but he had no intention of retreating.

He dodged the python's attack with a flash of his body, and then stabbed the python in the vital spot with his sword.

The sword pierced the python, but only made a sound of metal collision. The python's body was extremely hard, and Fang Yue's sword was unable to penetrate it.

The python was enraged by Fang Yue, and it swept its huge tail, creating a black whirlwind that rolled towards Fang Yue.

Fang Yue was caught in the whirlwind and felt as if his body was being cut by countless sharp blades. The pain was unbearable.

But he gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, steadied his body in the whirlwind, and continued to look for the python's flaw.

Suddenly, Fang Yue discovered that when the python attacked, its abdomen would relax for a moment.

He seized the opportunity, and when the python pounced at him again, he suddenly jumped up, flipped his body in the air, then held the sword upside down and stabbed it hard into the python's abdomen.

This time, the sword successfully pierced the python's body, and black blood gushed out.

The python let out a painful hiss and its body began to twist violently.

Fang Yue held the sword tightly, not wanting to be thrown away by the python's struggle, and at the same time injected more energy into the sword.

With the infusion of vital energy, the python's body gradually became illusory, and finally turned into a black smoke and dissipated in the air.

When the Lord saw his python being defeated by Fang Yue, his face turned gloomy. He snorted coldly: "Boy, you have some skills, but this is just the beginning. I will not show mercy next time."

Fang Yue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and responded coldly: "My Lord, your evil methods are only this bad. Today is the day you die."

After hearing Fang Yue's words, the Lord's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He stopped talking nonsense, and his figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

Fang Yue was startled, knowing that the Lord was about to launch a close-range attack. He quickly raised his alert and focused on sensing the movements around him.

Suddenly, Fang Yue felt a strong evil aura coming from behind him.

He didn't have time to turn around, so he swung the sword backwards, concentrating his energy on his back to form a defensive shield.

The Lord appeared behind Fang Yue, holding a black long knife in his hand, and slashed at Fang Yue's back fiercely.

The long sword chopped on the sword and shield, making a harsh sound of metal friction.

The Lord’s power was so great that Fang Yue felt his arms go numb and his body involuntarily rushed forward a few steps.

The Lord took advantage of the victory and slashed at Fang Yue again.

Fang Yue steadied his body, dodged the knife by moving sideways, then stabbed the Lord's throat with his backhanded sword.

The Lord dodged Fang Yue's attack by moving sideways, and at the same time kicked Fang Yue in the abdomen.

At this time Fang Yue knew in his heart that the battle with the Lord had entered a white-hot stage, and both sides were looking for each other's flaws.

He adjusted his breathing, trying to restore the disordered vitality, while keeping his eyes fixed on the Lord, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The Lord looked at Fang Yue, with a cruel smile on his face: "Fang Yue, do you really think you can beat me? You know, your family is under my control now. If you continue to go against me, I will not guarantee their safety."

Fang Yue's heart tightened. His family has always been the softest part of his heart.

But he quickly calmed down, knowing that the Lord was trying to disrupt his mind.

"My Lord, please don't use my family to threaten me. How can people believe what you say when you are such an evil person?"

The Lord laughed loudly: "You may not believe it, but if you surrender now, I can consider giving you and your family a chance to live. Otherwise, you can just wait to collect their bodies."

Fang Yue clenched his fists. Although he was angry in his heart, his eyes became more determined: "My Lord, do you think I will bow to evil forces like you for the safety of my family? I believe my family would not want me to be so cowardly."

After hearing Fang Yue's words, the Lord's face became even gloomier. He really had no direct evidence at the moment.

Although Han Chengzhi was sent to abduct Fang Yue's family, no news has been received so far.

The Lord was secretly angry. He originally wanted to use Fang Yue's family to completely crush his will, but he didn't expect Fang Yue to be so determined and not be shaken by his words.

The Lord decided to put some more pressure on Fang Yue, he sneered: "Fang Yue, don't think I am bluffing.

My subordinate Han Chengzhi has already gone to capture your family. With his methods, your family is probably on the way here now."

Fang Yue's heart sank, he knew that Han Chengzhi was a capable and ruthless subordinate of the Lord.

But he still pretended to be calm and said, "My Lord, do you think you can scare me like this? Even if my family is really captured by you, I will not surrender to an evil person like you. I will defeat you first, and then rescue my family."

The Lord laughed in anger: "Well, you are such a fool. Since you are so stubborn, I will kill you today!"

At their level, as long as their resolve is shaken, they will be at a huge disadvantage in the battle!

After the Lord finished speaking, his figure moved as fast as lightning and he approached Fang Yue in an instant.

The long sword in his hand danced out a black light and shadow, each light and shadow contained a powerful evil spirit, covering Fang Yue's vital parts.

Fang Yue did not dare to be distracted at all. He changed his steps quickly and his body swayed left and right like a willow leaf in the wind, cleverly avoiding the Lord's attack.

At the same time, the sword in his hand swung out sword flowers, and the sword flowers and knife shadows collided with each other, splashing out strings of black and white light.

The Lord's offensive became more and more fierce, and his long sword suddenly changed. It was no longer an all-round attack, but condensed into a long black rainbow, stabbing straight towards Fang Yue's chest.

The attack was extremely fast and powerful. Fang Yue could feel the air around him being split by the knife, forming a powerful airflow rushing to both sides.

Fang Yue took a deep breath, concentrated all his energy into his feet, and stomped the ground hard.

His body flew backwards with the force, and at the same time he held the sword across his chest, ready to block possible subsequent attacks.

The Lord's sword stabbed into the air, but he did not pause at all.

The long knife turned smoothly, leaving a deep groove in the ground, and then he used the force to pounce on Fang Yue again. (End of this chapter)
