and those ranked after them is far more than just a level. The top twenty on the Dark List are all the strongest assassins or mercenaries from all over the world, each one renowned in their own terri...This stroke of luck was originally meant for him!

Chen Luo's eyes were cold, staring at Fang Yu, a murderous aura erupting from his body.

Fan Yu frowned slightly and said coldly, "What's it to you"

"How dare you speak to our young master like that" A guard behind Chen Luo flew into a rage and charged forward, unleashing a palm strike at Fang Yu!

"Boom!"

True Qi struck Fang Yu head-on, causing the ground behind him to crack and crumble.

But Fang Yu still stood there, his eyelids didn't even twitch.

"How is this possible..." The attendant's face paled.

He is a martial arts grandmaster, this palm used eight or nine percent of his power, Fang Yu was hit head-on, and surprisingly nothing happened.

At this moment, Fang Yu slapped his right hand forward.

"Poof!"

A tremendous force struck the attendant, sending him flying dozens of meters away in an instant.

"You..." The other three attendants, seeing their companion knocked back, paled and stepped forward in unison, ready to strike the opponent.

Chen Luo raised his left hand, signaling them to stay put.

"Fang Yu, I remember your name." Chen Luo said in a sullen tone.

Fang Yu coldly glanced at Chen Luo once, then turned and left.

He didn't have time to waste with this group of people. He wasn't feeling well and needed to find a place to refine the spiritual energy in his dantian as quickly as possible.

As Fang Yu passed by Zhong Yuan, he glanced at him.

Zhong Yuan only felt a chill rising from his feet, instantly spreading throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

He was filled with terror, even wanting to immediately kneel down and kowtow to Fang Yu, begging for mercy.

But Fang Yu only glanced at him and continued walking forward.

Chen Luo looked at Fang Yu's departing figure, his eyes flashing with a dangerous chill.

Fang Yu's displayed abilities far exceeded his expectations.

He knew that if he fought Fang Yu now, he would definitely not be able to win easily, and even had the possibility of losing.

And Han Qi was still there, a man of the utmost cunning. If he were to fight Fang Yu, and they both ended up badly wounded, this Han Qi would undoubtedly seize the opportunity to take advantage and reap the benefits.

Moreover, before entering the Nascent Soul Stage and gaining true invincibility, he didn't want to expose his strength prematurely.

As someone who has lived two lifetimes, he understood very well the saying "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be struck by lightning."

In his past life, he died because he was too outstanding and was assassinated.

In this life, he will never make the same mistake again.

Of course, Fang Yu is definitely someone who needs to be eliminated.

Chen Luo is a reborn individual, his fortune should be stronger than anyone else! All opportunities should be born for him!

Ke Fangyu's appearance snatched away his opportunities and weakened his fortune!

"No problem, I'll let you be the first stepping stone in my rebirth." Chen Luo looked at Fang Yu's departing back, a cold glint in his eyes.

The moment he steps into the Nascent Soul Stage, shall be Fang Yu's death!

He wants to seize back his own fortune!

Han Qi, standing beside him, looked at Chen Luo whose expression was cold and murderous, his eyes deep as if contemplating something.

All around, there was a deathly silence.

……

Fang Yu left Baichuan Mountain at an extremely fast pace and arrived at another deep mountain in the northwest of Jiangnan.

Here, there isn't a single person in sight, making it the perfect place to retreat and practice cultivation.

Fang Yu found a spot at the peak of a tall mountain, sat down in meditation, and began to refine and absorb the power of the spiritual veins.

He absorbed two-thirds of the spiritual vein's energy, which was a very dangerous move.

An ordinary cultivator, not to mention absorbing two-thirds, if they only absorbed for two seconds, their meridians would probably burst and they would die.

Fang Yu, with a dantian capacity like an ocean, felt a wave of discomfort. It was easy to imagine just how immense the amount of spiritual energy he had absorbed was!

Speaking of which, Fang Yu still has to thank that guardian will.

If it hadn't damaged the spiritual veins, Fang Yu absorbed the remaining third, he would have probably been unable to withstand it and died from the overload.

But now it's just right, still within an acceptable range.

Fang Yu sat on the ground, beginning to refine the high-intensity spiritual energy within his dantian.

High-intensity spiritual energy, after refining, one strand can be transformed into at least three strands.

Fang Yu's body emanated a faint crimson true qi, and the meridians within his body were fully activated.

Without high-intensity spiritual energy that has been refined, it needs to circulate through the meridians once before returning to the dantian. Only then can it be absorbed.

This process cannot be rushed, otherwise the meridians could be ruptured.

Slowly, Fang Yu's realm began to break through.

One layer, two layers, three layers...

Fang Yu's eyes were closed, sitting on the ground, time slowly passed.

Soon, a week passed.

Within a week, Fang Yu broke through to the 30th layer and reached the 9,912th layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

...while the spiritual energy within my meridians had only been consumed by about one-third. ...

Fang Yu remained still, continuing his refining process.

Before long, another week had passed.

This week, the speed of breaking through one level has noticeably slowed down, and each level requires more and more spiritual energy.

But Fang Yu still broke through to the twentieth floor, reaching the 9,932nd layer of the Qi Refining Period.

The Qi within my meridians is now down to one-third.

Over the past week, Fang Yu's speed of breaking through realms has continued to slow, only reaching the sixteenth layer.

After refining the last trace of spiritual energy, Fang Yu's realm stabilized at the 9,948th layer of the Qi Refining Period.

Fang Yu opened his eyes, his eyes glowing with a startling red light.

"Boom!"

A powerful aura emanated outwards in all directions.

Fang Yu let out a long breath, stood up, and stretched his body.

"It's been a long time since I've meditated so carefully." Fang Yu said to himself.

Then, he sighed again.

Originally, I thought that with these spiritual vein powers, I could directly break through to the 10,000 layers of the Qi Refining Stage.

But as one's realm breaks through, the amount of spiritual energy needed to break through each layer increases.

Two-thirds of the spirit meridians are simply not enough!

"Sigh, if the remaining third had also been absorbed, I could have broken through at least twenty more layers." Fang Yu looked regretful.

But he didn't really think much of it.

He has been through this for five thousand years, his mentality is already very peaceful.

Moreover, now that he is so close to ten thousand layers.

“It seems like this year is truly my lucky year, the breakthroughs I’ve made this year surpass those of the past five hundred years!” Fang Yu said with emotion.

"Coo coo…"

Just as Fang Yu was feeling sentimental, his stomach started to growl.

"I'm so hungry!"

He went for three weeks without food or water, and was now both starving and thirsty.

"It's time for me to go."

Fang Yu took two steps forward and jumped directly from a cliff over a thousand meters high.

……

Lijiang Residential District.

Today is Sunday, Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue are both having lunch at home.

Both the mother and daughter remained silent, their expressions downcast.

Fang Yu has been missing for three weeks.

When she went missing for three days, they wanted to report it to the police, but then several people who claimed to be Fang Yu's friends told them not to worry, that Fang Yu had just gone to do some business and would definitely come back.

Those few people didn't look like bad guys in terms of their clothing and demeanor, so Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue both believed them.

It has been three weeks now, and there is still no news of Fang Yu.

This made both Wang Yan and Yu Yueyue feel very uneasy.

"Mommy, where do you think Fang Yu went Did he..." Yu Yueyue's face was pale, too afraid to finish her sentence.

Wang Yan bit her lip, made up her mind, and said: "If he hasn't come back by today, we'll call the police!"

How could a perfectly normal person just disappear for so long

Although Fang Yu would occasionally disappear for a couple of days here and there when she lived in the shanty town.

But this time it's a whole three weeks!

They called Fang Yu many times, but there was no response!

"Well, we must find Brother Fangyu!" Yu Yueyue said with slightly red eyes.

After that, both mother and daughter felt downcast, eating their meal in silence.

At this moment, the door was knocked on.

“Is it Fang Yu gege back!” Yu Yueyue’s face lit up, and she ran to open the door.

It's rare for anyone to come to their house, so it must be Fang Yu back!

As soon as Yu Yueyue opened the door, a chill ran down her spine!

A man dressed entirely in black stood before her.

This person's eyes were long and narrow, and the pupils within them were even more unusual than normal - they were vertical!

Like a viper's eye!

He exuded an extremely chilling and dangerous aura.

Yu Yueyue's face changed, and she wanted to close the door.

But the man had already reached out and held the door open.

"Fang Yu has been hiding for too long, I'm losing my patience. After finishing this job, I still have to go to Europe." The man extended his long tongue and licked his lips, a sinister smile playing on his face, "If I control you both, I should be able to force him to show himself, right"transfers over a short period of time.Therefore... Faced with the overwhelming Yin-Yang power, he could only choose to endure it.With a vacant gaze, he raised his left hand, eyes sharp and intense, mu...
