Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1249 - 553: Fiery Flame Palm

Is it... merely enduring one palm strike?

Fang Yu's face showed a complex expression.

This palm strike's purpose clearly linked to the moment his sister Song Xi got disfigured.

However...

Aren't they underestimating me excessively?

Fang Yu reflected that his normal fighting power ranked average in the Wood Realm, yet equipped with Bone Armor, he stood elite among peers.

What gives Song Zhenrong such assurance that a single palm could scar him?

"Fine, bring it on. I'm ready to receive your palm—what of it?"

Song Zhenrong appeared surprised by Fang Yu's quick acceptance.

The radiating self-assurance caused Song Zhenrong's features to tighten progressively.

"All of you, scatter."

Foolish Underworld team members followed commands, spreading out to clear the area.

"Brother!"

Song Xi clearly opposed settling things with merely one palm blow.

Her desire was Fang Yu's death amid agony and suffering.

Dying in shame, pleading on bended knees before her.

Even a single lethal palm wouldn't satisfy her if it ended him swiftly.

Or merely scarring him while he escaped unharmed would infuriate her further!

Everyone who offended her faced miserable fates, and this man wouldn't escape that rule!

She almost whimpered while tugging Song Zhenrong's arm, yet he merely shot her a cold sideways look with expressionless eyes.

"Back off."

His tone made Song Xi stiffen instantly.

She understood her brother's nature perfectly; once resolved, her pleas couldn't sway him.

Irritated, she gnawed her lip, stamped hard, and withdrew backward.

"Get out of the way!"

She seized the prime vantage point; her overbearing manner drove other Foolish Underworld underlings to shun her.

Evidently, only her brother endured her foul mood.

In the tavern's heart now stood solely Fang Yu and Song Zhenrong.

"Let's go."

Fang Yu extended a hand, beckoning him forward.

Song Zhenrong's brows furrowed faintly.

Not due to Fang Yu's imposing guard; rather, his pose brimmed with openings and looked completely lax.

This demeanor, this bearing—it outright dismissed him!

Swoosh—

Song Zhenrong lifted his right palm.

Yet it hovered there, still.

Right as Fang Yu grew somewhat confused.

Hiss!!!

Song Zhenrong's right palm abruptly glowed fiery red like flowing magma, intensely hot—even afar, the blistering waves from his hand scorched the air.

"Fiery Flame Palm, able to melt gold and shatter iron, dissolves all. This palm will hit you. You get five breaths to finalize preparations."

With Song Zhenrong's statement, the tavern's heat surged yet higher.

This power hadn't reached Song Zhenrong's peak!

"It's the technique Song Xi employed earlier..."

Fang Yu gazed at the blazing palm of his foe, deep in contemplation.

The siblings shared the same martial origin, though Song Zhenrong far outclassed Song Xi in proficiency.

Just the climbing ambient heat revealed this palm's devastating force.

"Three."

Countdown started; he truly counted five breaths fairly, granting prep time.

What did this signify?

Truly despising me that much?

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes faintly, as a white fluid slowly seeped from his skin's surface...

"See! Captain Song's Fiery Flame Palm!"

"He's unleashing it straight on that fellow? Figured Captain Song would hold back, given Song Xi the Deputy Captain always stirred trouble first in these clashes..."

"Quiet! Say no more. Anyway, Captain Song offered that man an opportunity, but his constant taunts compelled this lethal strike."

"It's done for, done for. Believed it was just a reprimand, yet it looks fatal once more..."

"Captain Song’s Fiery Flame Palm melts superior blades on contact. Hitting that guy's face dead-on could bore right through. Time to brace for cleanup..."

"Hold on! Check, that guy's reacting too!"

"White goo leaking from his face... Gross, hold! It's hardening! What's that forming a white mask over his whole head??"

Foolish Underworld crew deemed their captain's technique odd already.

Yet the facing youth, appearing mundane, countered with something weirder.

They'd assumed captain's blow would crush him outright, but now anticipation stirred—what might this lad unleash?

After all, the team had constantly witnessed the captain effortlessly vanquishing enemies and demons, occasionally yearning to behold what unleashing his full power in combat would look like.

Even though such notions flickered in their minds, not one of them held high hopes for Fang Yu.

Because... Captain Song was simply too powerful!

However, Song Xi gazed at Fang Yu with an icy sneer.

"Just putting on a show before dying!"

This was Song Xi's inner conviction, born from her unshakeable trust in her brother Song Zhenrong.

Her Fiery Flame Palm lacked proper mastery, resulting in her wound and inability to release its true might.

Yet her brother stood apart.

Within her brother's grasp, the palm's might would surge a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

Moreover, this fool was foolishly bracing himself to meet the palm strike directly!

One must know, should the Fiery Flame Palm miss its mark, that was one matter, but upon solid contact, it could instantly fuse even steel-like iron bones! The ferocity of that blistering heat defied all reason!
