Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1251 - 554: Keeping a Promise

The other members of the Foolish Underworld were equally stunned.

Like Song Xi, all of them believed that Captain Song had already shattered Fang Yu’s right hand right there.

They had been set to celebrate victory, assuming Fang Yu was no big deal.

Never did they expect Fang Yu’s burned exterior to be mere camouflage, with the interior of his right hand appearing utterly undamaged!

This... how is this happening?

How can someone withstand Captain Song’s Fiery Flame Palm directly without a single injury?

Could something like this really occur?

What sort of freakish monster possesses such power!

Swish swish swish swish—

Instantly, all eyes locked onto Fang Yu, while hushed whispers rippled through the crowd.

"Who is this guy...?"

"Incredible, that was Captain Song’s Fiery Flame Palm! Catching it with bare hands is already insane, but emerging totally unscathed?? Last time Captain Che sparred with our captain, enduring that strike head-on left him bedridden for almost half a month!"

"Wood Realm... this fellow must be a powerful Wood Realm warrior without a doubt!"

The crowd’s reactions exploded with fervor.

Yet Song Zhenrong, his direct foe, stayed composed.

As though he had foreseen this result.

Having clashed directly, Song Zhenrong realized the earlier palm hadn’t troubled Fang Yu greatly.

Truth be told, shrugging off his Fiery Flame Palm without harm did strike Song Zhenrong as somewhat over the top.

The Fiery Flame Palm packs tremendous might; even blocking it would let the residual force harm the hand inevitably.

For this man to emerge totally intact is no ordinary accomplishment.

It must tie to that bizarre bone structure.

Unclear what martial arts he cultivates—it’s bizarre and foreign, nothing like Thunder City’s styles.

Right as Song Zhenrong pondered this, a shout erupted from ahead.

"Now’s the time!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

With those words, multiple shadows burst from the inn.

Song Zhenrong spotted the old man he’d wounded before among them—the notorious wanted felon, Humblebane Plague.

Surprisingly, this vile offender displayed loyalty, not fleeing solo but escaping alongside the group. Had age softened his heart?

Still, crimes remain crimes; past atrocities can’t be erased by a late-blooming sense of justice.

Fang Yu, in that instant, revealed a grin.

"Captain Song, aren’t you chasing them? They’re getting away."

A rare subtle smile tugged at Song Zhenrong’s lips.

"No rush, let them scamper a little first."

Song Zhenrong felt no urgency, unlike the rest.

"Captain! We’ll drag them back!"

"These minions are ours to handle!"

They’d missed the breakout earlier, but now alert, they leaped to respond. With Song Zhenrong’s brief nod, Foolish Underworld members charged from the inn after Humblebane Plague and his companions.

Left behind were Song Xi and a few of Song Zhenrong’s trusted aides.

At that moment, Fang Yu grinned and remarked.

"So, Captain Song, I’ve endured one of your strikes, right?"

Fang Yu had suspected Song Zhenrong might scheme to detain him.

After all, tanking a full hit unscathed felt like a humiliating smack.

Yet to his surprise, Song Zhenrong shifted aside.

"I honor my promises; you’re free to leave."

As Song Zhenrong spoke, Fang Yu stayed silent, but Song Xi abruptly panicked.

"Brother!"

She dashed to the inn’s doorway, barring the path with her frame.

"He can’t leave! He disfigured my face; I won’t let him slip away!"

Song Xi failed to grasp how grave her interference was.

This didn’t corner Fang Yu—it humiliated her brother Song Zhenrong!

Even Fang Yu let out a laugh, darkening Song Zhenrong’s expression noticeably.

"Step aside."

The command targeted Song Xi, still clogging the entrance.

Song Xi’s eyes welled up red with grievance, tears brimming, until spotting Fang Yu’s amused stare. Fury boiled within her.

"What are you looking at!"

Though she snapped, Song Xi balled her fists and stepped from the doorway.

"My friend, after you."

Song Zhenrong appeared to deem the issue settled, motioning Fang Yu onward.

However...

"When did I say I wanted to go?"

Fang Yu folded his arms, smirking as he declared.

"You!"

Song Xi shot Fang Yu a furious glare.

But before her rage could peak, Song Zhenrong quelled it, leaving Song Xi’s cheeks burning crimson like she’d suffered inner wounds.

At that moment, Song Zhenrong turned his eyes toward Fang Yu as well.

"Sir, what do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? I paid for this inn to stay here; if anyone must leave, it should be you. Why force me, the paying guest, to depart?"

Song Zhenrong felt a brief shock, too absorbed in upholding his promise to release others and missing this crucial detail.

Therefore, he quickly added.

"We’ll pay for the room expenses, Foolish Underworld."

Fang Yu softly shook his head.

"It’s not the money."

Song Zhenrong’s eyebrows knit together faintly.

"Then what exactly is it?"

"I was resting undisturbed here until you barged in with your group, ruining my tranquility. That has made me deeply irritated."
