Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1305 - 581: Fishing

Master Quan Heng has departed. But Fang Yu continued his journey without halting. It was barely past noon, leaving ample time. Thus far, these were merely preliminaries; Fang Yu’s aspirations for this demon-hunting venture extended far beyond today’s modest achievements. Before the sun dipped below the horizon, his plan was to venture as far as possible, drawing in a multitude of demons to maximize his hunting spoils. This strategy, after all, could only be effectively employed once, with the initial kill serving as a potent lure for other demons. Should the demons grow cautious, the effectiveness would diminish significantly. Consider the deceased demon in the alley; if its remains were discovered by humans or demons and word spread, luring and hunting demons with this ruse would become exceedingly difficult. An unexpected encounter with Monk Quan Heng significantly bolstered Fang Yu’s spirits, causing him to unconsciously quicken his pace. However, an event soon caused Fang Yu to bring his steps to a halt. Up ahead, amidst the bustling thoroughfare, a contingent from the Foolish Underworld was accosting several pedestrians, brandishing what appeared to be wanted posters and conducting interrogations. Fang Yu narrowed his eyes for a closer inspection and discerned that the interrogator held a wanted notice, presented as a facial portrait. But… The male portrait was rendered in a rather abstract style. Yet, within this abstraction, certain features bore a discernible resemblance to his own. It was as though the Foolish Underworld had received some vague intel regarding his facial characteristics from an unnamed source and had proceeded to sketch it based on those fragmented details. As for the female portrait, it bore a slight likeness to Ding Hui, but the overlap was minimal, incomparably less so than the male portrait. Had Fang Yu not been intimately familiar with Ding Hui, he would not have perceived even the slightest connection between the portrait and her. Is the Foolish Underworld searching for Ding Hui and me? Fang Yu’s heart fluttered. Ding Hui had indeed been prescient. With Shen Chenshui deceased, the Foolish Underworld was indeed mobilizing its forces, initiating a widespread investigation. While this particular group from the Foolish Underworld had not yet identified him, Fang Yu altered his direction, intending to take a circuitous route. His objective was simply to traverse more of the streets, to lure in more unsuspecting demons. Therefore, any path was acceptable to him; there was no imperative to risk discovery by the Foolish Underworld by sticking to the main road. Fortunately, after diverting to another street, a suitable target soon presented itself. However… [Tang Ershang:9221/9221.] Tsk. This caliber is hardly worth a ripple of excitement, utterly uninspiring. Of course, it’s not impossible that a Martial Arts Master is tailing him discreetly… though that seems rather improbable, doesn’t it? Fang Yu subtly increased his pace, and the figure behind him hastened to keep up. The clumsy footwork and conspicuous tracking methods betrayed the pursuer’s inadequacy. No mistake, merely a minor demon. This is peculiar, Fang Yu mused earlier. In the high-stakes environment of Thunder City, how could such feeble demons have managed to lurk unnoticed until now? Fang Yu recalled the businesswoman from Black Rain Commerce, who was a genuine demon cleverly disguised, an expert at remaining hidden, even maintaining years of collaboration with the Forest Snake Gang and other syndicates. The imposter leader of the Forest Snake Gang possessed limited cultivation, unable to discern any deception, so Fang Yu naturally perceived no issues. But what about the other gangs; were they also deceived, like the fake Gang Leader, after years of association? Fang Yu pondered, quickly suppressing these thoughts. Ahead of him, a hulking figure abruptly materialized, obstructing his path. "This gentleman looks rather familiar… " Fang Yu calmly raised his gaze. [Zhong Shi:24085/24085.] Remarkable, a demon with twenty thousand health points dares to confront him directly. Fang Yu paid no mind to the individual’s pronouncements, viewing such demons merely as mobile experience points accompanied by visible health bars. Even as Fang Yu and the tall individual paused their exchange on the street, certain individuals in the vicinity, seemingly having received an unspoken cue, began to subtly converge on Fang Yu’s position. These subtle movements did not escape Fang Yu’s keen observation. What perplexed Fang Yu was that among the converging figures, a considerable number were actual human cultivators. [Tian Jianzhong:1021/1021.] [Suo Liangping:500/500.] [Bin Yuantong:19811/19811.] [Zhong Shi:713/713.] [Jun Di:15981/15981.] [...] What sort of unconventional amalgamation of humans and demons is this. Observing their coordinated movements, reminiscent of a seasoned squad, and their clear objective, the hunting target, they demonstrated a seamless division of roles as they advanced, encircling Fang Yu, leaving him quite dumbfounded. Truly, have you properly considered the implications? Attempting to challenge me, a Wood Realm Warrior with a Physique of 600, right here on the street? "Perhaps we could converse elsewhere?"

Noticing their palpable eagerness, Fang Yu wasted no time, promptly cutting off the overly verbose tall guy in front of him.

The tall man was momentarily taken aback. Then, after a swift glance to ensure his companions were strategically positioned, a triumphant smirk, akin to a villain savoring victory, spread across his face.

"Certainly, where shall we continue this discussion? You can lead, and I shall trail right behind."

An excellent outcome.

Fang Yu then guided the group towards a shadowy alleyway.

The others stealthily trailed behind, while Fang Yu, feigning ignorance, remained outwardly unperturbed.

But then...

Mere minutes later, Fang Yu nonchalantly emerged from the very same alley.
