Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor
Chapter 1292: Show Mercy

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292: Show Mercy

"I detest those who overestimate themselves!"

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes, facing the intense surge of Fire Primordial Qi that appeared before him in an instant, he curled his lips in contempt and flicked his left hand casually, as if swatting away mosquitoes flying close to him.

Boom...

A stream of Fire Primordial Qi emerges between Fang Bai’s waving hands, dazzling and scorching several times more than that released by Huang Xuanwu, rolling furiously forward like raging waves. It swallowed up the oncoming Fire Primordial Qi and curled back towards Huang Xuanwu.

"This is bad!"

The instant Fang Bai waved his hand in a counterattack, Yu Huang sensed from him a terrifying pressure that even made his own heart palpitate with fear. His pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression filled with horror, as he involuntarily cried out in alarm.

Yu Huang realized that he had gravely misjudged Fang Bai.

As a seasoned Universe Level Expert who had been through countless battles, Yu Huang knew that the gap in strength between Huang Xuanwu and Fang Bai was not even on the same level; even he himself might not be a match for Fang Bai.

"Elder Yu, save me!"

Engulfed by the Fire Primordial Qi released by Fang Bai, Huang Xuanwu felt the air around him being sucked away, plunging him into a near suffocating state, while the intense heat from the Fire Primordial Qi roasted his whole body with unbearable pain.

Only then did Huang Xuanwu realize how terribly wrong it was to provoke Fang Bai. Regret and fear intertwined in his heart, panic and despair coexisted; he screamed miserably, calling for Yu Huang’s help.

Yu Huang very much wanted to save Huang Xuanwu, but he knew how terrifying the Fire Primordial Qi enveloping Huang Xuanwu was. If he were to barge in recklessly, not only would he be unable to rescue Huang Xuanwu, he himself might also get trapped and unable to escape.

"Fang... Senior Fang... Please show mercy!"

Having held an air of condescension and contempt towards Fang Bai, Yu Huang, after witnessing Fang Bai’s power, had no choice but to bow his head and beg for mercy, while urgently looking to Xia Chenyu, standing behind Fang Bai, for assistance.

Yu Huang was smart; he knew that among all present, only Xia Chenyu, with close ties to Fang Bai, could potentially persuade Fang Bai to stop.

Xia Chenyu turned a blind eye to Yu Huang’s pleading gaze, unmoved.

Based on Xia Chenyu’s understanding of Fang Bai, although he cherished and valued her deeply, he wouldn’t lose himself; once he decided on something, he wouldn’t change his decision easily because of anyone else.

Furthermore, in Xia Chenyu’s heart, Fang Bai’s importance was far beyond what an Elder from Golden Crow Manor could match, and Yu Huang’s earlier disrespect towards Fang Bai had made her uncomfortable as well.

Therefore, as Fang Bai was teaching Huang Xuanwu a lesson, Xia Chenyu wouldn’t soften her heart to plead on Huang Xuanwu’s behalf.

Xia Chenyu was also certain that Fang Bai, for her sake, would not take Huang Xuanwu’s life but would just punish him to teach him a lesson about the immensity of the world.

On the other hand, this severe setback for Huang Xuanwu would be beneficial for him in the long run. At the very least, he would no longer be as arrogant and overbearing as he was before.

Xia Chenyu believed that after this incident, Huang Xuanwu would treat her with respect and keep his distance, no longer pestering her as before, thus removing a not-so-small annoyance from her life.

While engulfed in the Fire Primordial Qi, Huang Xuanwu loudly called for help from Yu Huang, while doing his utmost to circulate his own Fire Primordial Qi, forming a Defense Qi Shield around his body, attempting to fend off the assaulting Fire Primordial Qi from all directions.

However, the vast disparity in strength made all of Huang Xuanwu’s efforts futile.

The Fire Primordial Qi released by Fang Bai easily overwhelmed Huang Xuanwu’s Defense Qi Shield, the searing heat invading his body, and soon Huang Xuanwu smelled the charred scent of his own flesh and felt an agonizing, unforgettable pain.

Huang Xuanwu couldn’t help but let out a pained groan, unable to wait for Yu Huang’s support, he felt ice-cold and desperate in his heart.

Thinking of himself as a Fire System Martial Artist, about to perish amidst Fire Primordial Qi, Huang Xuanwu found it both ludicrous and sad.

When Huang Xuanwu tried to break free from the engulfing Fire Primordial Qi, his consciousness was already blurring, and he seemed to have lost all his strength, devoid of any ability to move.

"Senior Fang, this junior has been blind to your majesty and offended your power. I beg for your mercy! Junior Sister Xia, please plead with Senior Fang on my behalf! Please plead with him for me!"

Overwhelmed by intense pain and the fear of death, Huang Xuanwu somehow found the strength to suddenly drop to his knees with a "thump", kowtowing to Fang Bai as he begged hoarsely and earnestly.

No sooner had his voice faded than he felt the Fire Primordial Qi around him dissipate, the pain on his body lessened, and his breathing became smoother.

"For Chenyu’s sake, I won’t hold this against you this time!"

Fang Bai’s voice reached Huang Xuanwu’s ears, giving him the sensation of hearing a heavenly melody.

After the Fire Primordial Qi surrounding Huang Xuanwu had cleared, Yu Huang and others could see Huang Xuanwu’s current state, and couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

Huang Xuanwu’s hair and beard were gone, his eyebrows scorched away, his clothes were barely clinging in tatters, just covering the most vital parts of a man’s body, and his feet standing on the ground appeared charred, with the faint smell of roasted meat wafting through the air.

At this moment, Huang Xuanwu looked utterly disheveled and wretched. Where was the hint of his once handsome and elegant, poised manner?

Fang Bai merely waved his hand casually as if shooing away flies, without even executing a formal attack, yet he already caused Huang Xuanwu great loss. Fang Bai’s strength was evident.

Yu Huang understood that if it weren’t for Fang Bai considering the relationship he had with Xia Chenyu and Golden Crow Manor, showing mercy, Huang Xuanwu at this moment would be nothing but a charred corpse.

"Elder Yu, I stayed at Golden Crow Manor with Fang Bai for a while. Fang Bai has healed Brother Yuan Qi’s injuries, and has also come to an agreement with Manor Huang to join forces to expel the Martial Artists Alliance. Our visit here is to check out the situation in the Eternal Death Zone."

Xia Chenyu, not wanting the conflict between Fang Bai and Golden Crow Manor to deepen, stepped forward a few paces, to Fang Bai’s side and spoke indifferently to Yu Huang.

"What?"

Yu Huang thought he had heard wrong, his gaze turned to Xia Chenyu, and he asked with a frown: "Chenyu, you’re saying that Fang Bai cured Yuan Qi’s injuries? And what is this about joining forces to expel the Martial Artists Alliance?"

Xia Chenyu smiled slightly and nodded, saying: "When we left Golden Crow Palace Mountain, Brother Yuan Qi had already woken up and seemed to be in good spirits. Fang Bai said that in another ten days or half a month, Brother Yuan Qi could return to his peak condition."

She paused for a moment, then continued: "Manor Huang and Fang Bai have agreed that with their joint efforts, they will expel the Martial Artists Alliance from the edge of the Eternal Death Zone, preventing them from touching the Essence Stone Vein underground; when the time comes, the Essence Stone Vein will be split equally, with Fang Bai and Golden Crow Manor each owning half."

Upon hearing Xia Chenyu’s words, all the disciples of Golden Crow Manor present were stunned.

The Martial Artists Alliance, with over a hundred thousand members and still increasing, had already surpassed the combined strength of Golden Crow Manor. If both sides were to fight to the death, Golden Crow Manor would undoubtedly be defeated, losing the rights to the Essence Stone Mine.

According to the analysis of the senior level of Golden Crow Manor, in the end, there would be a mutual compromise between Golden Crow Manor and the Martial Artists Alliance, and their side could probably secure sixty to seventy percent of the Essence Stone Mine. They had never dared to consider the possibility of entirely expelling and defeating the Martial Artists Alliance.

Could the addition of Fang Bai to the Golden Crow Manor’s cause really reverse the current disadvantageous situation?
