Hearing the high-pitched threat, Fang Zhe did not reply with words. He merely drew one foot back, lowered his center of gravity, and crossed his arms over his chest with a smile that never faded.Fang Zhe’s relaxed posture at such close range was the ultimate insult to Murayama."Die, you bastard!" Murayama roared.BUMMM!The obsidian stone floor beneath Murayama's feet shattered and cracked as his burly body launched forward like a cannonball.Wuuuuush!His movement was so fast that it left a faint black afterimage in the air. In the blink of an eye, Murayama's right fist—shrouded in a deep black Qi that spun like a giant drill—was already right in front of Fang Zhe's face.Wuuuush!Without moving back even a single inch, Fang Zhe merely tilted his head a few centimeters to the side. The wind generated by Murayama's punch tore past, cutting a few strands of Fang Zhe’s bangs and striking the empty air behind him, creating a loud boom.Losing no momentum, Murayama immediately spun his

Hearing the threat regarding the Spirit Gatherer realm brought up by Murayama, Fang Zhe did not show even a single change in his expression. His pair of black eyes remained clear and indifferent. Far from trembling in fear, he even crossed his arms behind his head again in an utterly relaxed stance, as if Murayama's bluff just now were nothing more than a passing breeze. "An unrivaled Spirit Gatherer?" Fang Zhe let out a small yawn, staring at Murayama with a lazy gaze that pierced the middle-aged man's ego to the core. "And? Am I supposed to jump in fear? Whether he is in the Spirit Gatherer realm or whatever realm for that matter. As long as he is still human... So, just save your sermon, Old Man. Your threat... is truly boring." Murayama was stunned, his eyes widening in disbelief. He had expected that bluffing about Han Ling's true identity as a Spirit Gatherer monster would shatter the young man's mental state in front of him. However, the reality he faced was absolute apathy.

Faiye felt her entire body stiffen violently. Fang Zhe's embrace did not merely lock her physically; it shattered the ice-cold mental defenses she had maintained for years. Her ragged breathing mingled with Fang Zhe’s breath against her neck, creating a tickling sensation that made her hairs stand on end—not out of a sense of danger, but because of an alien surge of emotion that suddenly derailed her focus. The flush that had initially appeared as a mere speck on her cheeks had now spread completely, turning her usually corpse-pale, beautiful face into a deep crimson from a volatile combination of embarrassment, nervousness, and exploding rage. As an assassin, she had always been the one hiding in the shadows, deciding the life and death of her targets. Yet today, for the very first time, she was being absolutely controlled in a suffocating intimacy. Sensing that the woman in his arms had lost her stable breathing rhythm and was entirely consumed by nervousness, Fang Zhe knew he

Ding! The mechanical chime of the system echoed once again, this time with a tone that somehow felt a bit flat, as if it were letting out a sigh in the face of its user's outburst. > [Responding to Host: Please re-read the technique description carefully. The name of this technique is 'Universe Destroying Sword (Low Realm - Sealed)'. It is an extreme energy compression technique, not some cheap visual projection.] > [System Suggestion: Please manifest the technique again, then swing it toward a desired target to witness the true essence of the absolute God-Slaying Sword Essence.] Fang Zhe took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger that had briefly flared up in his chest. His eyes glared intently at the lines of holographic text. ‘Extreme energy compression? So that dwarf-like thing just now was the condensed form of the essence?’ he thought, finally catching the drift of the system's explanation. Despite still being riddled with skepticism, Fang Zhe's curiosity was piqued

Lei Ba felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up upon hearing that absolute command. The killing intent emanating faintly from Fang Zhe’s body made the atmosphere inside the ruined hall feel incredibly heavy and suffocating. "Understood, Boss! Your word is absolute to me. This very night, I will ensure the entire district hears this challenge!" Lei Ba replied in a tone of complete obedience, bowing his head deeply until it touched the dusty floor before finally backing away slowly and darting off into the darkness of the night. That night, the Black Dragon Prison did not sleep. The news brought by Lei Ba and the men of Block 10 spread like a highly aggressive plague. From the suffocating cells of Block 10, across the dark corridors of Block 9, all the way through the heavily fortified fortresses of the upper blocks, everyone was talking about a single name: Fang Zhe. This uproar made absolutely no sense to the veteran inmates. Before a full day had even passed since the yo
