Eternal Life: My Talent Increases by 1 Point Every Day

Chapter 283: Chapter 191: Where Is This Place?

A sinister voice echoed from the depths of the courtyard.

Fang Yue looked over. A burly man draped in a green robe had appeared in the courtyard.

He wore a ferocious ghost-face mask, and his eyes glinted with bloodlust.

A heart-stopping, baleful Qi radiated from him, enough to make one’s skin crawl.

Fang Yue narrowed his eyes, sizing up the man.

Judging by the aura surrounding him, he had to be an Innate Grandmaster Martial Artist.

His Cultivation Realm seemed to be that of a newly ascended Innate Grandmaster. In other words, he was one of the weaker ones in the Grandmaster Realm.

Fang Yue didn’t feel particularly threatened by him.

"Heh heh, so you finally came out. I was starting to think you were going to stay hidden like a little rat."

The man in the ghost face and green robe let out a sinister cackle.

Hearing this, Fang Yue frowned and immediately asked, "Who are you? Are you from the Blood Dragon Platform?"

’It was obvious. Who else but the Blood Dragon Platform would dare come here to kill at a time like this?’

Before the words even faded, Fang Yue launched a brazen attack. It was a sneak attack. When facing an enemy a full Cultivation Realm higher than himself, there was no need for martial etiquette.

"ROAR!"

He let out a low growl as a majestic aura erupted from his body. A phantom of a white tiger seemed to rise from him, its immense pressure blanketing the surrounding area.

The white tiger phantom materialized behind him, roaring to the heavens with a deafening cry that felt like it could shatter a man’s skull.

Simultaneously, a tremendous momentum billowed from Fang Yue, whipping up into a gale.

Fang Yue moved, lunging at the ghost-faced man like a tiger descending a mountain.

"Not bad. Your speed is significantly faster than that of an ordinary Qi Sensing Martial Master. You must be one of the Observatory’s elite Inspectors! The thought of personally snuffing you out brings me great pleasure."

The ghost-faced man moved like a phantom, effortlessly dodging Fang Yue’s attacks with a smirk playing on his lips.

He continuously used his Body Technique to evade Fang Yue, but made no move to counterattack.

"Oh, right, you’re the one who killed Liu Guangmu, aren’t you?" the ghost-faced man said suddenly. "Where is the thing you took from him? Hand it over, and I might just spare your life."

Hearing this, Fang Yue’s expression remained calm and unchanged.

He continued his relentless assault.

’So, even this ghost-faced man wants that piece of hide? The hide could block my power, but it’s so small. It shouldn’t be valuable enough for him to mention it specifically. Could it be... that there’s another secret to this hide?’

"Kid, you’re pretty composed. Let’s see how long you can keep it up!"

The ghost-faced man’s tone turned icy. He extended an arm, and a pitch-black short sword materialized in his hand.

"SWISH!"

The short sword cut through the air, its chilling edge stabbing viciously toward Fang Yue.

Seeing the sudden attack, Fang Yue’s pupils constricted. He retreated explosively, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

The next moment, Fang Yue couldn’t help but glance down at his waist. A trace of blood was seeping out. He had been grazed by the man’s Sword Qi.

Fortunately, his defense was astonishing; otherwise, it would have been far more than a mere scratch.

The sharpness of that short sword was staggering!

But instead of fear, Fang Yue felt a surge of excitement.

’This short sword is nice. It ought to be mine.’

"Heh heh..."

Fang Yue grinned. With a sudden twist, he instantly appeared in front of his opponent.

Seeing this, the ghost-faced man prepared to use the same trick again and attack with his short sword.

But just then, Fang Yue’s speed suddenly exploded, becoming several times faster than the man—perhaps even more. In the blink of an eye, he was before him, both palms striking out with terrifying force, aimed directly at the man’s chest.

This speed had already surpassed that of an ordinary Qi Sensing Martial Master.

It even reached a level that only a Martial Arts Grandmaster of the Innate Realm should have been capable of!

"BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!"

A flurry of heavy blows slammed directly into the ghost-faced man.

The ghost-faced man suddenly felt his breath catch as sharp pains shot through his chest.

A look of shock filled his eyes. ’This is bad!’ he thought.

’He’s clearly just a Qi Sensing Martial Master, a whole major realm below me! How could he suddenly possess power comparable to an ordinary Innate Grandmaster Martial Artist?’

’Who the hell is this guy?!’

’Is this a trap set by the Observatory, just waiting for me to take the bait?’

For a moment, the green-robed, ghost-faced man was filled with shock and suspicion.

"The two of you, what are you waiting for? Attack together, now!" the green-robed, ghost-faced man roared.

At his words, Fang Yue’s brows knitted together. He looked into the distance and, sure enough, saw two more figures: Luo Wei and the Scholar’s Attendant who had tried to ambush him before.

’I can’t believe those two are mixed up with the Blood Dragon Platform.’

’Or maybe... they’re members of the Blood Dragon Platform, too.’

Seeing this, Fang Yue took a deep breath.

He forced the green-robed man back with a single move, then turned to flee without a moment’s hesitation.

Although his strength had greatly improved to the point where he could trade a few blows with an Innate Grandmaster, he was definitely no match for two of them.
