Clenching his fist, Captain Wu finally looked up, taking a deep look at Niu Zuo, his eyes filled with infinite anger.

It was Niu Zuo who had killed all the survivors in Mo Village and forcibly taken An Dong'er away!

He deeply remembered this hatred!

It was a pity that he didn't have enough strength to kill Niu Zuo at the moment and could only pin his hopes on Fang Yue.

"Too weak... I'm too weak now! I don't even have the ability to assist from the side!"

Captain Wu gritted his teeth secretly, suppressed his emotions, and followed Dou Hongyi, quickly leading a group of people away, leaving Yang Diandian of Lan Shan to preside over the overall situation.

These actions were naturally seen by Niu Zuo.

With a slight frown, some of the people below had already chased after Dou Hongyi and the others.

But the next moment, like supercooled water that reached the freezing point but had not yet frozen, triggering a nucleation site, something happened.

The moment these people's feet stepped on the ground again, their feet began to spread upwards from their soles to their thighs at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly froze into ice.

Before they could even react, they continued to move their bodies forward as if by inertia. Their bodies were immediately severed from their lower halves, like torn rotten flesh. Their upper bodies rushed forward, while their lower bodies remained frozen in place.

The severed upper bodies rolled on the ground, dragging a trail of blood, writhing and screaming, before quickly falling silent.

This phenomenon happened almost simultaneously.

In the eyes of others, in the blink of an eye, these fast-moving martial artists were separated into upper and lower bodies, becoming sections of corpses.

This scene was terrifying and horrifying, as if a guiyi (supernatural entity) had taken action!

The others present widened their eyes and gasped.

"Hiss..."

"Is this the true strength of Master Ye?!"

"In the blink of an eye, so many experts were all killed!"

This was the power of a martial skill above the Ren (Human) level, possessing a terrifying effect like a [gui zu] (supernatural curse) when its power erupted!

The remaining members of the Phoenix Organization narrowed their pupils and were stunned in place, not daring to act rashly for a while.

They had designed a special container for [Nuo Mian Gui] (Glutinous Cotton Wraith), and were not really suppressing it with brute force.

They were no match for experts like Fang Yue.

They could only carry out the recovery after the [Nuo Mian Gui] was suppressed to the point where only the core remained.

According to the original plan, they would recover the other cores of the [Nuo Mian Gui], leaving the main body, which would be personally dealt with by Master Niu Zuo, and finally, the main body would be transferred to the core in the containment object, completing the formal recovery.

Now, the [Nuo Mian Gui] had been beaten by Fang Yue to the point where it couldn't even condense its main body, so it could naturally be easily recovered.

But now...

They looked at Fang Yue in fear, not daring to act rashly.

As they stopped moving, small hands slowly drilled out from a new core not far from where Fang Yue was, condensing into the shape of a brain and appearing on the ground.

Then, like a 3D-printed model, the small hands bloomed like flowers, gathering to form Fang Yue's appearance.

However, just as this form was being created, a sword cry suddenly echoed from the city wall.

A white sword light, like a crescent moon, slashed down from the sky at high speed.

With a bang, the form that [Nuo Mian Gui] had just condensed was directly cut in half by the white sword light!

Logically speaking, this kind of slash wouldn't be anything to the [Nuo Mian Gui]. It could wiggle its small hands and repair the wound in minutes.

But at this moment, the densely packed small hands of the [Nuo Mian Gui], which had been cut in half by the sword qi, withered like dying flowers and plants. The tender small hands aged, their skin wrinkled, the circulation of blood and flesh slowed down, and they became like the palms of dead people.

Every small hand was like this, aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then... dying!

All the small hands withered and died, shriveled and rotten on the ground, becoming a pile of dry bones.

The main body of the [Nuo Mian Gui] also began to transfer again.

Obviously, the [Nuo Mian Gui] couldn't withstand either Fang Yue's attack or Niu Zuo's attack!

Looking at the remains of the [Nuo Mian Gui] in front of him, Fang Yue's pupils shrank slightly.

From the corpse of the [Nuo Mian Gui], Fang Yue felt a strong [gui zu] (supernatural curse) power, and it was directly related to lifespan!

It was as if that sword, once released, could directly plunder the lifespan of others!

Fang Yue glanced at his stats. At this moment, his lifespan was...

"Lifespan: 46 years and 2 months."

Whether in terms of normal lifespan or as a reserve for cultivating martial arts, this amount of lifespan was very considerable.

He just didn't know how powerful Niu Zuo's sword was.

Looking up at Niu Zuo on the city wall, Fang Yue's pupils suddenly shrank.

He saw that Niu Zuo, like a gecko, was standing on the city wall with his feet. As if sensing Fang Yue's gaze, he smiled coldly at Fang Yue and bent his legs slightly.

Bang!!

The entire top of the city wall suddenly cracked open, revealing spiderweb-like fissures.

And Niu Zuo himself shot straight at Fang Yue like a cannonball!

Being able to release sword qi didn't mean that the form of the sword qi represented the highest power of this move!

When inner force was attached to a long sword and released, unless there was a special way of inner force flow, or a special sword technique.

Then the power of the sword qi would begin to drop crazily the moment it left the long sword!

Therefore, the sword that killed [Nuo Mian Gui] was not the peak!

Close combat was the true peak of Niu Zuo's swordsmanship!

Fang Yue could already feel this point, along with the terrifying pressure that was pressing down like Mount Tai.

The wind whistled in his ears.

Niu Zuo, who was just a small black dot, had almost reached Fang Yue in the blink of an eye.

"Ning Bing Xin Fa (Frozen Heart Sutra)!!"

Kacha! Kacha! Kacha!

The extremely cold Ning Bing (Frozen) power was frantically compressed back.

The frost around Fang Yue shrank back.

The external power was compressed inward, gathering within a ten-meter radius around him!

That Ning Bing power seemed to be able to instantly freeze even the surrounding moisture!

Only the night rain above his head, as if ignoring everything, fell on Fang Yue's body.

As if sensing something, the black halo above his head suddenly expanded at this moment.

Transforming into a ten-meter radius, covering Fang Yue's head.

Didi! Didi!

The night rain followed the expansion of the black halo, suddenly accelerating a little.

At this moment, it seemed as if time had slowed down.

In the dense night rain, Master Niu Zuo's long sword broke through the falling raindrops, and the raindrops split in half, falling along the blade.

More water droplets hit Master Niu Zuo's body, were knocked away by him, turned into splashes, and became countless tiny water droplets.
