Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1259 - 558: Ordinary

I wonder just how far I can push this?

No doubt, the goal is to fully subjugate the Forest Snake Gang and wring out every scrap of their intel.

From there, I'll chase down the trails to expose the shadowy group backing them.

"What about the Rebel Army?"

Fang Yu turned his gaze to the adjacent room and asked.

Though called the next room, it was really just a prison cell; if Qin Er tried to step out even a foot, death would strike her instantly.

Fang Yu had this power, and so did Ding Hui!

As a prisoner, Qin Er had virtually no way to fight back.

After all, she was just an ordinary woman with under 10 Life, and without some usefulness, Ding Hui would have already disposed of her.

"Interrogation is complete; someone from the Rebel Army will reach out to Qin Er tomorrow, and that's when we'll intercept and link up with them."

Ding Hui had everything set up.

Sadly, this Qin Er appeared to be only a fringe member of the Rebel Army, lacking the authority to reach out to superiors herself—she could only wait for their call.

So Fang Yu and Ding Hui had no choice but to bide their time until the Rebel Army contacted Qin Er, allowing them to make the connection.

Unlike street gangs such as the Forest Snake Gang, the Rebel Army stood as the true powerhouse.

Yet with some downtime, Fang Yu aimed to juggle both fronts, refusing to neglect the Forest Snake Gang.

He glanced at the system log.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing [Chuan Luozhi], gaining Experience Points...]

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing [Zhao Jinci]...]

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing...]

[System Prompt: Congratulations on the player’s maximum Life value increasing by 5500 points.]

[System Prompt: Humans fighting each other, resentment gathers into Evil Qi, entangles around the body.]

[Life: 79876/79876.]

His Life value was closing in on 80,000, rivaling the blood volume of a Great Demon Leader.

Still, his effective combat strength hovered around 6,000 Life in real fights.

What's more, after slaying so many in quick succession, Evil Qi had built up sharply, leaving Fang Yu increasingly uneasy.

With this much Evil Qi, a simple outing might draw wild Great Demons straight to him...

Good thing they weren't in the wilderness; Thunder City's defenses kept wild demons from easily invading.

As for demons already sneaked into Thunder City, he wouldn't fret excessively now.

If any surfaced, he'd deal with it; plus, inside the city, there couldn't be some ridiculously overpowered Great Demon lurking, could there...

Fang Yu figured Thunder City's Foolish Underworld stayed vigilant too—back at Tianmen Alley, hadn't they taken out some demons?

This showed city demons were constantly hunted down, so no major threats should lurk hidden...

More than uninvited demons, Fang Yu worried about Ding Hui, always close by his side.

Regular demons? Fang Yu could manage. But if they swarmed or proved too mighty, he might not protect Ding Hui, turning the tide against them.

He often operated solo too, leaving Ding Hui alone at the inn— that thought alone made him restless.

Talisman of Malevolence Dispelling, why was it fading in power now?

As the value of his kills rose, the talisman's limits showed; its cleansing effect dropped sharply, becoming nearly useless.

Need to hold back some, absolutely must hold back...

Fang Yu mused silently.

By now, night had fully descended.

Fang Yu and Ding Hui shared a look, then he vaulted through the window, vanishing into the shadows.

Ding Hui watched his nimble silhouette under the moonlight, a smile tugging at her lips unbidden.

"Unknowingly, he's grown so powerful... Just a few months ago, when we first met, his strength was even below mine."

Ding Hui reflected on old times when a frown suddenly creased her brow.

Noises erupted from below.

Then came a rush of messy footsteps charging straight up to the second floor.

Sensing trouble, Ding Hui moved to the window, poised to flee.

The footsteps abruptly stopped right outside her door.

Ding Hui's brow furrowed deeper as she peered downstairs, spotting various forces encircling their fresh inn.

"Are they after us, or... that Rebel Army woman?"

Things looked grim.

Ding Hui was well aware of her own limits.

Her altered physique provided solid battle prowess against ordinary Martial Artists, yet its effectiveness waned sharply when the power difference became overwhelming.

With Fang Yu now away, Ding Hui refused to get caught, refusing to become a liability that weighed him down.

She tucked several small vials between her fingers, her eyes glued intently to the door.

To ensure her safety, she had rigged the room with clever traps, merged with her recently acquired basics of array theory—the instant enemies set them off, the effects would activate without delay.

These consisted chiefly of neural-paralyzing powder and vision-blinding toxic fog, designed less for heavy damage to foes and more for securing a swift getaway.

She hated to abandon the vital materials in the room for the moment, but the most essential medicinal herbs remained secured on her body.

After escaping the peril and linking up with Fang Yu once more, she would return to snatch back her belongings from these intruders.

Ding Hui had already mapped out her next steps in detail by this point, replaying her escape plan multiple times in her thoughts. When Fang Yu came back, the faint trace of poison dust would alert him to the trouble here, prompting an immediate rendezvous at their secret spot.
