Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 996: Help Out

"Already... eighty moves?"

Tu Hu stopped his assault, his eyes widening as he stared at Fang Bai, standing several feet away and out of his attack range, muttering to himself, his face filled with confusion.

He then turned his head to look at the four team members standing behind him, his eyes filled with inquiry, as if seeking confirmation from them about whether what Fang Bai had said was true.

The four team members looked at each other, none speaking, but their faces conveyed their frustration and disappointment, giving Tu Hu his answer.

"I understand, I understand..."

Tu Hu said bitterly, a flash of pain and reluctance sweeping across his eyes.

Suddenly, he staggered back a few steps, his strength seemingly drained from him as he collapsed softly to the ground, falling into unconsciousness.

Fang Bai frowned slightly, knowing this was a manifestation of the side effects from Tu Hu pushing his body’s potential, and added to his failure to defeat him within fifty moves, it had dealt a severe blow to his spirit, causing him to faint on the spot.

Tu Hu’s failure meant his team would miss out on the corpses of the several dozen Antlered Silver Lions. Although his four team members were very disappointed, they knew Tu Hu had done his best.

It was just that Fang Bai was too strong, managing to withstand the fifty powerful moves Tu Hu unleashed after tapping into his body’s potential.

This was enough to show that under normal circumstances, Fang Bai’s strength was no less than Tu Hu’s, perhaps even slightly stronger.

This made the four team members of Tu Hu’s group respect and fear Fang Bai, seeing him in a new light.

"Senior Brother Tu, wake up!"

Seeing Tu Hu unconscious, his four team members’ faces changed dramatically, and they rushed to check on him.

Some shook Tu Hu’s body and shouted loudly, trying to wake him.

Others took out elixirs meant for treating injuries, intending to help him swallow them.

Without the captain Tu Hu’s gallant charge through trials and tribulations during this mountain training period, reaching the core area of the Bitao Mountain Range would have been impossible; hence, he had earned the respect of his team members.

Despite not defeating Fang Bai and despite their disappointment, they didn’t dare to express any dissatisfaction or complaints towards Tu Hu.

First, although Tu Hu was defeated, he still possessed the strength of a core disciple, not someone they, as disciples from the Inner and External Courtyard, could afford to offend.

Secondly, they were in the core area of the Bitao Mountain Range, potentially facing attacks from spirit beasts or challenges from other cultivation teams at any moment. Without Tu Hu, they would face great danger, and whether they could safely leave this region was uncertain.

Therefore, Tu Hu’s unconsciousness threw them into a panicked state, with some team members even regretting their greed for the Antlered Silver Lions’ corpses and having encouraged the duel with Fang Bai.

"Great! Brother Fang won this battle!"

Liu Liehu jumped up excitedly, touching the antlers of the Antlered Silver Lions hanging at his waist, relieved that they were safe.

"Brother Fang is really incredible! When Senior Brother Tu boosted his physical potential, and his strength greatly increased, I was actually a bit worried for Brother Fang!"

Liu Qingqing said with a beaming smile.

Dozens of Antlered Silver Lions’ corpses had been preserved, representing a large acquisition of cultivation resources in the future. Naturally, Huang Miao and Hou Ziping were very happy.

Yet their age was greater than that of Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu, and their dispositions were relatively steady. Such happiness didn’t show on their faces, to avoid causing further dissatisfaction among Senior Brother Tu’s team members.

Neither Huang Miao nor Hou Ziping could predict whether Senior Brother Tu would harbor resentment against them after this incident, and possibly seek retaliation. To prevent such an event, they decided to lean on Fang Bai as their support.

The facts had proven that Fang Bai’s strength was no less than Senior Brother Tu’s, and given Fang Bai’s aptitude, his future achievements in Martial Dao were surely going to surpass those of Senior Brother Tu. As long as Fang Bai was willing to protect them, Senior Brother Tu couldn’t touch them.

"Keep harvesting the antlers from the Antlered Silver Lions—once you’re finished, we’ll set off. I’m going over to check on Senior Brother Tu."

Fang Bai spoke and walked toward where Senior Brother Tu and his companions were.

The faces of the four members of Senior Brother Tu’s team slightly changed. They simultaneously stood up, gripped their weapons tightly, and with True Yuan flowing within their bodies, they watched the approaching Fang Bai nervously and vigilantly as if facing a formidable enemy. freёnovelkiss.com

"Junior Brother Fang, what are you trying to do?"

"Murder stops short of the deed, Senior Brother Tu is already unconscious; what more do you want?"

"The sect has rules: fighting among fellow disciples is allowed, but fratricide is forbidden."

"If you harm Senior Brother Tu again, we’ll go all out against you!"

The four members of Senior Brother Tu’s team loudly said in a threatening yet fearful tone.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m here to help Senior Brother Tu."

Fang Bai spread his hands, revealing a harmless smile, and then squatted beside Senior Brother Tu under the watchful eyes of the four team members.

He extended his right hand, his palm lightly touching Senior Brother Tu. The Wood Element Qi slowly circulated, and a faint Green Glow moved from his palm into Senior Brother Tu’s body.

That trace of Green Glow was extremely pure Wood Element Qi from Fang Bai’s Dantian and was particularly effective in stimulating life potential, perfectly suited to replenish the life potential that Senior Brother Tu had exhausted by forcibly enhancing his strength.

"Don’t worry—Senior Brother Tu will wake up after a hundred breaths."

Fang Bai exhaled softly and stood up, then glanced thoughtfully across the face of one of the members of Senior Brother Tu’s team before turning and walking away briskly.

The team member swept by Fang Bai’s gaze was Shi Gang from Shi Village. Ever since Liu Qingqing had revealed Shi Gang’s identity to Fang Bai, Fang Bai had taken notice of him.

Liuhu Village and Shi Village were sworn enemies. While in Liuhu Village, Fang Bai had severely punished Shi Village’s Martial Artists, and this news had already reached Shi Gang, who was at Bitao Martial Academy. This made Shi Gang grow to intensely hate Fang Bai, constantly thinking of revenge.

Watching Fang Bai’s retreating silhouette, Shi Gang’s hand gripping his weapon tightened suddenly, his eyes revealing a mixture of malevolence and resentment.

Although Fang Bai had walked away and had his back to Shi Gang, his Divine Sense emanated outward, enveloping everything around like he had eyes everywhere. The malevolent expression on Shi Gang’s face couldn’t escape his scrutiny.

"Shi Gang’s heart is already filled with hatred. However, he’s not even on the combat power list among the Inner Court disciples, so his strength isn’t strong. I’m naturally not afraid of him. Both Qingqing and Liehu are wearing Defense Spiritual Artifacts that I gave them, so they needn’t fear any schemes or troubles he might cause."

Thus thought Fang Bai, as he retracted his Divine Sense.

When Fang Bai had moved away, the members of Senior Brother Tu’s team closely examined the still unconscious Senior Brother Tu. They noticed his originally pale and colorless face was becoming rosy and his weak breathing rapidly strengthening. Realizing Fang Bai had not deceived them, each of them breathed a sigh of relief.
