Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2178 - 2160: Ambush?

Three days later.

Fang Yan suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes emitted a faint gleam, extremely bright, and they appeared profoundly deep, giving a particularly mysterious sensation.

Standing up slowly, Fang Yan felt that his body was completely fine. His originally injured Divine Soul had recovered in just three days here, even becoming slightly stronger, something he had never imagined. His gaze unintentionally swept towards the small coiled snake; if not for its presence, he would have truly wanted to take the Warm Divine Jade with him.

"Young man, don’t be too greedy."

Out of nowhere, this sentence appeared in Fang Yan’s mind, the voice sounding extremely old, as if an elder on the brink of death was speaking. It briefly stunned Fang Yan, who thought someone was nearby, and he immediately looked around, wanting to locate whoever was talking to him.

But when he expanded his Divine Sense, there wasn’t anyone within miles around, leaving Fang Yan even more puzzled. Yet, just as he was deeply confused, wondering what was happening, he heard the voice again in his mind.

"Stop searching; I am the little snake in front of you. Since your injuries are healed, you should leave quickly."

The aged voice sounded again in Fang Yan’s heart, instantly revealing the truth. His eyes turned toward the coiled snake, which had now raised its head to look at him. Only then did Fang Yan understand what was going on, realizing just how extraordinary the snake was—it was downright terrifying!

His Divine Soul was already far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, especially after being tempered by the Soul Melting Flame, making its strength unimaginable to most. To say it without exaggeration, even those at the Earth Immortal Realm would struggle to transmit sound to him. Yet, this snake without a physical form could do it, indicating something Fang Yan understood too well, that the snake’s true power likely exceeded that of the World Evil Overlord he had encountered before!

"Senior, thank you for letting Fang Yan recover and heal his Divine Soul here." With this in mind, Fang Yan bowed respectfully to the snake, then after a simple mental thanks, he quickly turned and left.

Passing by Qin Ke and Wu Shan, he grabbed them with one hand and dragged them away, leaving Qin Kun and Wu Shan bewildered. They were cultivating perfectly well, so why did Fang Yan treat them this way? They wanted to ask Fang Yan but couldn’t speak, even their bodies couldn’t move, leaving them helpless as Fang Yan took them away...

After walking a few miles, Fang Yan finally let go of them, and as he released them, Qin Kun and Wu Shan returned to their normal state.

"Boss, why did you treat us like this?"

"That’s right, Boss, why did you drag us away like that?"

Qin Kun and Wu Shan looked at Fang Yan with puzzled expressions, asking him. They were truly confused, still not knowing what had happened for Fang Yan to act this way.

Seeing their expressions, Fang Yan smiled softly and said to them, "If I told you that the snake floating by the Warm Divine Jade is more powerful than the World Evil Overlord, would you still ask me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Kun and Wu Shan were instantly petrified, feeling a buzzing in their heads, almost fainting.

If someone else said this, they wouldn’t believe it, but since Fang Yan said it, they had no choice but to believe it. Finally, they understood why Fang Yan had dragged them away without a word—this was the reason. Thinking about cultivating in the presence of such a terrifying being made them shudder, thankful that it bore no malice, otherwise, they wouldn’t even have known how they died.

At this moment, they dared not say much more, following Fang Yan obediently. This trip to the Ghost Souls Spirit Forbidden Land was truly a blow to them. They had thought their strength was decent even if it didn’t match the Boss’s, but now they saw how lacking they really were. They couldn’t even spectate Fang Yan’s battle, making them realize just how inadequate their own strength truly was...

Fang Yan also said no more, leading Qin Kun and Wu Shan out of the Ghost Souls Spirit Forbidden Land. Although this mountain was only in the mid-rear section of the Forbidden Land, with a large unexplored area ahead, he had no desire to explore further. With his current strength, he nearly got killed here; heading further would only be suicide. He wouldn’t do something so foolish, and if he were to explore further, he would wait until his strength increased and he was well-prepared.

The trio made their way outside more smoothly than when they came in—ghost souls that had been hostile now dispersed on their own, saving them much time, and their bodies returned to peak condition.

Upon leaving the Forbidden Land, Fang Yan glanced back at it, unable to help but marvel at its extraordinary nature. The Ghost Souls Spirit Forbidden Land was indeed worthy of being the Forbidden Land of the Holy Soul Continent, unexplored for thousands of years, not without reason.

Immediately, he prepared to return to the Divine Sword Sect with Qin Kun and Wu Shan, but as he turned, an intense sense of danger suddenly arose, leaving him no time to react, causing his aura to erupt in a rampage, sending an unsuspecting Qin Kun and Wu Shan flying. He also found himself hundreds of feet away in the air.

Once steady, an enormous hand suddenly appeared at the spot he had been, slamming into the ground. Instantly, the earth trembled, forming a powerful shockwave, creating a massive dirt wave that swept the surroundings, leaving nothing behind except a huge palm print on the ground.

Qin Kun and Wu Shan were unexpectedly shaken and hurled by Fang Yan due to the sudden incident, each spitting blood from the impact. As they wanted to ask Fang Yan what had happened, they saw the giant hand slam into the ground and instantly understood why Fang Yan acted so—had it not been for Fang Yan, they would have been flattened into meat patties!

Realizing this, their faces turned pale. Already dispirited in the Ghost Souls Spirit Forbidden Land, they hadn’t expected to encounter a Super Powerhouse they couldn’t handle. They wondered what fate had befallen them, contemplating what Immortal they had offended to face wave after wave of challenges!

But at this time, though thinking this, they dared not say anything. Sharing a glance, they fled in a different direction. This level of combat was beyond their ability to spectate, and even if they wanted to watch, they needed to find a safe distance. Otherwise, they would be hindrances to Fang Yan, something they didn’t want to occur.

"Ambush?"

Fang Yan did not look at the ground; instead, he gazed into the air, coldly uttering the word. He hadn’t expected an ambush. Reacting quickly had saved him from a dire fate, anger burning within him at having been ambushed by such a formidable opponent.

In the air, a figure suddenly appeared, descending slowly to hover at the same height as Fang Yan. The newcomer was a black-robed figure, face covered by a black veil. Only their gray hair betrayed their age, making it clear they were an elder.

"Not exactly an ambush, just testing you. Your reflexes aren’t bad for dodging my slap. Fang Yan, truly a notable name!" The black-robed elder stood with hands behind his back, addressing Fang Yan, quite surprised that Fang Yan had entirely evaded his strike, not anticipating such quick reflexes.

"Who are you?" Fang Yan asked coldly, gazing at the elder.

"You need not know my identity, only that I’m here to kill you," the elder replied plainly as if discussing a trivial matter. To him, coming here to kill Fang Yan was degrading enough, hence the masked appearance. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Many have aimed to kill me, but they’ve all perished." Hearing this, Fang Yan’s eyes narrowed as he replied coldly, still unaware of the elder’s identity yet fully intending to find out once the elder was defeated.

Though unsure of defeating the black-robed elder, the mention of his name indicated the elder knew him well, likely thoroughly prepared, meaning confrontation was inevitable. Fang Yan was determined to see who dared to wish him dead!

"Interesting, it’s been centuries since I last fought. Killing a lad like you feels somewhat unfair. Nevertheless, having promised, I must follow through. So, don’t feel aggrieved to die by my hand!" Hearing Fang Yan’s murderous intent, the elder laughed instead of getting angry, surprised by Fang Yan’s audacity to challenge him, finding it the greatest jest.
