Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
This time around, it won't be any different!
From his distant spot and angle, Iron Leper failed to spot the details clearly. Yet, the abrupt stop by the trio ahead indicated their plan had worked!
The perfect moment!
Iron Leper's body exploded into motion, surging ahead with savage speed!
Yet before arriving, his two allies zipped by him with sharp whistles.
What's this?!
Iron Leper's expression twisted as he whipped his head around to check.
There lay the pair assigned to strike from below.
A deep gash marred one's neck, blood spurting wildly.
The other's skull was caved in, as if smashed by a brutal knee, sprawled on the dirt bubbling foam from his mouth.
How is this possible?!
That fool actually countered?!
He whirled back, eyes fixed forward.
Swish!
A dark form materialized right in his face.
Gulp.
Iron Leper gulped nervously, his gaze creeping up from the figure's torso.
Revealed was the very youth he'd eyed as easy pickings, now grinning at him.
"What is your relationship with Manager Huang of the Golden Sky Treasury?"
"No, no relationship."
Bang!!!
Faint.
Vertigo.
The vertigo from a 316-degree midair whirl.
As Iron Leper's twirling form crashed down, nausea and dizziness overwhelmed him, but then scalp-searing agony struck—someone had seized his hair, jerking his head back.
"You seem quite loyal, let me give you another chance. Tell me, do you have any goods?"
Goods... goods...
Sudden realization dawned on Iron Leper.
"Yes, yes, yes yes yes!"
His head bobbed like a frantic chicken, earlier arrogance vanished completely.
Before life or death, pride crumbles to dust.
However...
Right after his words escaped.
Bang!!
His skull smashed hard into the earth by the foe's force.
Blood poured from Iron Leper's head at once, streaming over his brow, pain so intense breathing grew impossible.
"You dare say you have the goods without knowing what I’m talking about. Clearly, you are up to no good."
The foe's deliberate tone echoed, leaving Iron Leper tearless in despair.
Heavens know, whatever goods this man sought, he'd claim to possess them! Without them, death awaited in those hands!
"Boss, boss I was wrong, I didn’t recognize your greatness! Please, be generous and spare us. No matter what goods you want, we will definitely get them for you!"
Blood-smeared Iron Leper spoke with surprising conviction—at least Fang Yu found it convincing.
He hauled Iron Leper up, glancing toward Ding Hui.
She perched on a boulder, shoulders shrugging casually.
"What can a small fry know, just kill them all quickly, we still have the next target."
Is that the case?
Fang Yu eyed Iron Leper's panic-stricken face, the man desperate to flee.
Your prior defiance suited killing far better, easing any guilt.
Fang Yu extended a hand to snap Iron Leper's neck, but a sudden alert shifted his features drastically!
"Ding Hui!"
Hm?
Ding Hui pivoted toward Fang Yu.
"What?"
In her words, Fang Yu blurred into a streak of shadow before her eyes, lunging straight at her!
Reaction impossible, her form lifted abruptly, slung over a shoulder.
Whipping winds roared in her ears with thunderous booms as the earth quaked!
Her former spot now bore a spear plunged deep.
The spearhead buried halfway into the soil!
Its shuddering tip hummed, signaling lethal intent!
"What’s going on?!"
Ding Hui's face paled, voice rising.
She'd missed their pursuit being monitored!
"Shh!"
Fang Yu pressed a finger to hush Ding Hui.
Instantly.
Whoosh!!
An arrow plummeted from above, lodging solidly in the nearby home's wooden door!
"It’s a rain of arrows!"
Fang Yu tilted his head skyward.
Countless more arrows descended in a thick storm, blanketing the whole zone!
"Get inside the house!"
Ding Hui shouted.
Fang Yu moved swiftly too, smashing through the front door and bolting indoors!
As the entrance splintered open, Fang Yu spotted two figures cowering in the room's corner.
"Who’s over there!"
Fang Yu bellowed while slamming the door shut behind.
With arrows thudding into the wood, the pair crept timidly from hiding.
A lovely woman clutched a young lad's hand.
"Spare us, sir! We haven’t contracted the Blue Blood Disease, we’re just staying here temporarily, we’ll leave immediately!"
The woman squeezed the boy's hand fiercely, eyes wide with terror and worry at the intruders.
The boy mirrored her hostility, yanking free and stepping boldly before her.
"Don’t be afraid, mother, I... I’ll protect you!"
This touching display screamed devoted son and caring mom.
Save for the blood bars hovering overhead, clashing oddly.
The bar over the lovely woman read...
[Liu Meihua: 9/9.]
But the boy's bar, shielding her, showed...
[Yang Youyan: 15000/15000.]
Fang Yu let out a sigh.
He grasped the reason behind this sudden arrow barrage.
"Get out of the way!"
Ding Hui remained oblivious to the demon among them.
She shoved them aside, peering out the window.
Arrows blanketed the ground in heaps.
This relentless volley revealed the attackers' deep pockets.
Ding Hui's visage grew grim.
Such an arrow storm might barely trouble Fang Yu, but it spelled doom for her.
Aimed at me, perhaps?
Deep in contemplation, Ding Hui overlooked Fang Yu positioning before the pair.
"S-sir?"
The woman clutched her child, body quaking.
The boy feigned terror too, burrowing into her hold.
His act rang true, mimicking humans flawlessly.
Even Fang Yu admitted the demon's human guise and gestures fooled expertly.
Hard to spot—few could, especially distrusting kids so rarely...
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.
Act now and slay it? Right here...
Outdoors, arrows parted like a path, heralding hunters closing in on the demon. Striking would draw eyes.
Fang Yu weighed options carefully.
Unnoticed, his fixed stare stirred something in the boy.
"Big brother, you seem unfamiliar... you’re not from the Fengtian Gate district, are you?"
The woman jolted in shock.
She'd fixated on dodging Fang Yu, yet her boy warmed up fast.
She clamped his mouth hastily, panicked gaze flicking to Fang Yu, dreading a rampage against them.
Luckily, this youth lacked savage cruelty.
Then, the boy in her grasp pried her fingers loose one by one, strength astonishing.
The woman gaped—never had she seen such power in him!
Eyes bulging, she watched him approach the youth.
"Big brother, they’ve already searched, and I can’t hide under this human skin any longer. But if I had your new skin, one they haven’t seen, escaping would be easy, wouldn’t it?"
Odd.
Deeply bizarre phrasing.
Beyond the woman's grasp.
She couldn't fathom her child's words.
Yet the youth understood, nodding in sync.
"That’s true."
Fang Yu exhaled deeply.
The boy blinked in slight surprise at Fang Yu's reply.
Buzz!!!
A golden flash slashed across his throat!
