Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1300 - 578: Coming_2

But...

The caliber of the Blood Demons, even those not yet a Great Demon, truly doesn't provide sufficient sustenance for Fang Yu's palate. It’s akin to casting a line and snagging a mere minnow, devoid of any true excitement.

Yet, this is merely the prelude; his objective today is to traverse every inch of Thunder City, intending to draw out as many demons as possible. Considering this endeavor as a grand project, it's just the initial phase, but progress is evident, a promising start indeed.

However, the crucial question remains: will he be able to reel in the bigger catches later on?

As he traversed the Jiangxin Bridge, strewn with the injured, Fang Yu observed the personnel from Foolish Underworld diligently maintaining order and tending to the wounded. He lowered his head slightly, passing through swiftly.

Fortunately, his luck was on his side; amidst the throng on the bridge, the Foolish Underworld staff seemed oblivious to Fang Yu’s presence, refraining from any interrogation.

Once across the bridge, Fang Yu’s attention was caught by a remarkably tall and opulent tavern nearby. The patrons entering and exiting displayed an air of wealth, indicating it was a favored haunt for the affluent.

Just as Fang Yu was about to divert his gaze, he distinctly felt a searing stare fixed upon him from a private chamber on the tavern’s second floor.

He looked up, and their gazes instantly met.

[Shan Shunmei: 41421/41421.]

There it is!

Could this be the bait finally being taken by a significant entity?

With a subtle nod, Fang Yu feigned ignorance and continued his unhurried stroll down the street, maintaining his outward casual demeanor.

Fang Yu remained acutely aware of that covetous gaze tracking his every move.

In the stark light of day, it appears demons find it challenging to act openly.

However, Fang Yu is still in the preliminary phase of gathering potential targets, focusing on attracting more demons. Once a sufficient number has been amassed, he intends to retreat into a secluded alleyway, where eventually, one of the demons will be unable to suppress its urges and make a move. This will then allow him to harvest a group and proceed with his demon-hunting strategy.

Fang Yu’s strategy was flawlessly conceived.

Nonetheless, a perplexing turn of events occurred when the previously intense, greedy gaze suddenly shifted away from him.

What could have happened? Was he not being followed? Such remarkable restraint?

He was a veritable walking feast, a source of nourishing Evil Qi-infused flesh!

A sudden recollection seemed to strike Fang Yu, prompting him to swiftly turn around. He brushed past two Blood Demons who had tailed him across two separate streets, leaving them looking utterly bewildered.

Fang Yu then casually ambled over to a street vendor opposite the tavern, purchasing a skewer of candied hawthorn before departing with a sense of satisfaction.

The possessive gaze from the tavern above immediately re-established its lock on him.

However, the moment he moved beyond a certain radius from the tavern, that gaze vanished once more.

What kind of detection range is this?

Is it merely a stationary threat?

Confined to that wretched tavern, unwilling to move!

Fang Yu clenched his teeth, a wave of frustration washing over him.

While the Great Demon of Endless Blood was certainly an enticing prospect, he was unwilling to sacrifice the entire forest for a single tree.

Thunder City was vast, presenting numerous opportunities for encountering potential demons.

Operating within a realm of uneven information, he felt confident in his ability to draw out more Great Demons for his consumption!

The Great Demon of Endless Blood demonstrated considerable self-control and resolve.

In contrast, those Blood Demons, each one particularly impatient, remained glued to Fang Yu’s heels.

They had followed him for several blocks, yet anyone possessing even a modicum of counter-surveillance skill would have detected their peculiar persistence by now; still, they seemed utterly unaware.

"Isn't this precisely why they're considered Minor Demons..."

Fang Yu let out an internal sigh.

He had a premonition that these Minor Demons possessed very little patience; after leading them around for a few blocks, they all appeared to be teetering on the brink of losing their composure.

"Sir! Please wait, sir!"

Suddenly, as Fang Yu ventured onto a new street, a woman emerged from behind him, approaching rapidly.

[Feng Lexin: 16608/16608.]

And trailing her, at a deliberate distance, were several individuals feigning interest in the nearby market stalls.

[Na Jiangxue: 9751/9751.]

[Su Zhixing: 11520/11520.]

[Ben Bichun: 21232/21232.]

[Yang Lurong: 22061/22061.]

[Cun Chui: 30852/30852.]

Aside from one individual whose quality registered slightly higher, Fang Yu didn't consider the rest worthy of even a moment's attention.

But...

Heavens above... are they all so eager to meet their demise one by one?

While discreetly assessing the unfolding situation, Fang Yu offered a welcoming smile.

"Miss, are you perhaps addressing me?"

"It is indeed you, young master. You appear to have dropped something."

Fang Yu reacted with surprise.

"Dropped what?"

"This! I observed it falling from your sleeve just moments ago, so I retrieved it for you and am now returning it."

Gazing at the jade pendant presented by Feng Lexin, Fang Yu appeared bewildered.

His initial instinct was to deny it, but he abruptly paused, a flicker of avarice crossing his features, before finally nodding.

"Yes, it is mine. Thank you for your kindness, miss."

As he reached out to accept it, Feng Lexin withdrew the jade pendant.

"Young master is solely focused on the jade pendant, but have you given no thought to how you might thank me?"

Fang Yu adeptly joined the conversation. "Then, how shall I express my gratitude, Miss?"

Feng Lexin let out a laugh, revealing a tiny tiger tooth, which was quite endearing. However, the more charming Feng Lexin appeared, the stronger Fang Yu's intent to eliminate her grew.

"My surname is Feng. You may call me Xin'er," Feng Lexin playfully winked and extended her hand to grasp Fang Yu's. "As for how you can repay me... Young Master, there are so many people around. Let's... let's discuss it further over there, shall we?"

Her tone carried a seductive lilt that could make anyone's heart flutter. Should anyone fall prey to it, losing their senses, their very lives could be endangered.

Fang Yu feigned being captivated by her allure and obediently followed her into a secluded alley.

There was no stopping it now.

Better to redirect the flow than to resist it.

The minor demons could no longer contain themselves.

If Fang Yu did not address the situation, they might cause a scene right on the street.

Such an uproar would undoubtedly disrupt Fang Yu's carefully laid plans.

Therefore, it was wiser to indulge them a little, helping these impetuous, minor demons on their path to an untimely demise.

Fang Yu was led away by Feng Lexin, with a few demons trailing behind, their impatience clearly evident. This was their intended prey; the rich, devilish scent had drawn them all here. How could they possibly let it slip into someone else's grasp!

Instantly, several others followed suit, shadowing Fang Yu and Feng Lexin into the alley. Those who had hesitated for a moment now hurried into the narrow passage, fearing they might miss even a single morsel!

...

Na Jiangxue was among the throng that followed, moving with the greatest haste and the most intense impatience. She was the weakest, and although she could sense other demons nearby fixated on the 'meat,' she couldn't precisely identify them. Yet, without a doubt, the woman who had just appeared was one of her own kind!

The piece of 'meat,' saturated with malevolent qi, absolutely could not be savored exclusively by that woman! She had heard tales! Around a few months prior, when the Blue Blood Disease began its insidious spread through Thunder City, some demons of similar lineage had belatedly consumed 'meat' tainted with evil qi, experiencing a significant surge in their powers!

Later, the Thunder City's Foolish Underworld initiated a widespread hunt for individuals afflicted with the Blue Blood Disease, causing these individuals to vanish. Consequently, that delectable, evil qi-infused 'meat' became exceedingly scarce.

Now that another opportunity had arisen, how could Na Jiangxue possibly let it slip away!

Following the lingering scent, she moved with swift determination. But still, she was a fraction too slow, just a hair too slow!

As she rounded the final bend of the alley, her eyes locked onto two figures practically intertwined. The lips of that fellow demon were drawing ever closer to the 'meat,' almost making contact!

"Wait..."

Boom!!!

A mist of blood erupted.

Roar!!!

Witnessing the explosion of bloody mist, Na Jiangxue could no longer restrain herself. If they wouldn't share the 'meat,' then the demon's law would prevail – simply snatch it!

She, too, exploded with blood mist, lunging forward before the preceding crimson haze had even dissipated. Meat, meat, meat!!

She ferociously leaped toward the shadowy figure within the blood mist, only to suddenly collapse in the silent flash of a sword's edge. Her body was cleaved into several large pieces, her eyes wide and unseeing, lifeless.

Coincidentally, Feng Lexin's head, now transformed into a demonic visage, rested beside Na Jiangxue's corpse, completing a grim tableau.

The others trailing behind had just witnessed Na Jiangxue's True Demon form being annihilated. Originally intent on stepping forward to claim the spoils, they now stood frozen, none daring to advance further.
