Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1338 - 596: Blood-colored Storm (Part 2)

The might of the Blood-colored Storm is merely the surface.

Mastery is the crucial element.

As long as it remains under control, their current strength means any number of Defiled Blood Clone Demons and fiends can be obliterated with a mere flick of their hands!

"Armor, manifest!!!"

Amidst the booming, overwhelming Blood-colored Storm, no one perceived Fang Yu, who was mid-sprint, suddenly utter a low growl.

The very next instant...

Swish!!!

Enveloped by Bone Armor, Fang Yu’s speed surged dramatically!

Propelled by air currents and augmented by the Bone Armor… in a flash! Fang Yu was right before the first Defiled Blood Clone Demon!

This was his initial foray into using the Qi Explosion Heaven Cyclone, allowing the cyclone itself to be the active force. Fang Yu felt a touch unaccustomed to the sensation, but this slight awkwardness was undetectable by any observer.

[Defiled Blood Clone Demon: 13236/31642.]

The first Defiled Blood Clone Demon Fang Yu engaged was precisely the one with the lowest remaining HP!

The Qi Explosion Heaven Cyclone had already chipped away at its health, yet this damage paled in comparison to what Fang Yu could inflict personally!

Defiled Blood Clone Demon: !!!

Trapped within the Blood-colored Storm, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon, stripped of its ability to move and maintain balance, found evasion impossible. It could only watch in sheer terror, its eyes wide, as Fang Yu’s bone-adorned blade descended!

Slash slash slash slash slash slash!!

A dozen flashes of white light zipped past in the blink of an eye.

This Defiled Blood Clone Demon was instantly reduced to dozens of pieces, its body pulverized by the Qi Blades, its blood dissolving into the swirling storm.

Buzz!

Simultaneously, a pulse of blood-red light erupted from all the Defiled Blood Clone Demons caught within the tempest.

Their forms, previously immobile, now displayed a faint capacity to move against the storm's fury, a nascent ability to resist the powerful air currents.

However… this newfound strength was still woefully insufficient!

Meanwhile, within the tempest, the crimson hue intensified, growing ever denser.

A potent, metallic scent of blood permeated from within the storm. While the onlookers couldn't directly witness the events unfolding, the simultaneous flares of blood-red light were clearly discernible.

"Young Master Diao is annihilating demons!"

"One of them… one has already fallen!"

"Young Master Diao! Young Master Diao!"

The assembled crowd erupted in fervent cheers.

Chen Ya, however, cast no glance toward the Blood-colored Storm. Her gaze was fixed forward, her hand gripping the air as if grasping a sword hilt, repeatedly making the motion.

With each attempted grip, the emptiness her hand held seemed to faintly, inexplicably, gain a phantom substance.

Ephemeral yet tangible, coalescing yet unformed.

Before her, Qiu Xiaoping’s brow furrowed slightly, her attention riveted on the solitary white streak cutting through the Blood-colored Storm.

That was no mere line; it was a person.

"So, you’ve finally resorted to it… the power of that peculiar armor from before…"

Qiu Xiaoping balled her fist tightly.

Her desire was to witness more.

The Bone Armor merely granted him the standing to contend with her.

That obsidian tree from ages past… the manifestation when that desiccated wood erupted! THAT was the entity capable of truly standing as an equal!

Recalling the suffocatingly terrifying Black Tree, Qiu Xiaoping’s palms, unbeknownst to her, began to glisten slightly with sweat, her breathing growing somewhat unsteady.

But these Defiled Blood Clone Demons alone, in the final reckoning… had not yet driven the individual within the storm to that ultimate state.

Swish!!!

After bursts of blood-red light flashed within the storm for some seven or eight times...

One Defiled Blood Clone Demon, illuminated by the crimson glow, managed to break free from the confinement of the Blood-colored Storm, bursting forth from its confines!

"Roar!!!"

Despite its body being heavily wounded, with even the white bone of its forehead exposed, upon landing, this Defiled Blood Clone Demon unleashed a ferocious, earth-shattering roar, instilling fear in the approaching crowd.

But...

Bam!!

A wave of invisible atmospheric pressure suddenly descended from an unseen source!

Even as this Defiled Blood Clone Demon seemed to perceive the incoming threat and rolled its eyes upward, it was already far too late.

Bang!!

On the very spot, the Defiled Blood Clone Demon that had escaped was crushed into a bloody pulp by the abruptly descending wall of pure air pressure!

Buzz!

Within the Blood-colored Storm, five or six streaks of blood-red light flared simultaneously.

Amidst the crimson radiance, three or four Defiled Blood Clone Demons had their lower bodies trapped at the periphery of the Blood-colored Storm’s boundary. Only their upper torsos were visible as they emerged, their trapped lower halves still ensnared within the tempest, struggling desperately to pull themselves free.

"Young Master Diao, do you require assistance?"

Qiu Xiaoping’s voice drifted out slowly, carried upon the air.

And just at that precise moment...

Boom!!!

The Blood-colored Storm detonated outward with a deafening roar!

The final stage of the Qi Explosion Heaven Cyclone had been reached!

Swish swish swish swish!

The exploding Qi Explosion Heaven's Chosen unleashed a massive shockwave, sending all the Defiled Blood Clone Demons clinging to the edges flying away!

One Defiled Blood Clone Demon was plummeting directly towards Qiu Xiaoping.

Just as Qiu Xiaoping prepared to move, her pupils contracted sharply!

Swoosh!!!

A white figure, moving with lightning speed, burst forth from the shattered storm in an instant. It seemed to have started later but arrived first, instantly passing the falling Defiled Blood Clone Demon.

Rip!!

The body of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon was cleanly split in two and cut down!

In a flash, blood-light flared on the demons behind.

Simultaneously, the white figure zipped past Qiu Xiaoping, who remained frozen in place.

Boom!!!

With a deafening roar, sand and dust billowed backward, smoke ascended, and Fang Yu’s cold voice echoed from behind Qiu Xiaoping.

"Didn’t I tell you I would handle this alone?"

Cold sweat.

Began to bead on Qiu Xiaoping’s forehead.

Such intense... killing intent!

Young Master Diao had gone into a killing frenzy, no longer distinguishing friend from foe.

"It was a reckless move on my part..."

As Qiu Xiaoping’s apologetic words faded, the figure behind her transformed into a white dragon, leaving pale afterimages as it flashed past her once more, charging towards the other Defiled Blood Clone Demons that had landed!

"Roar!!!"

It was unusual to hear panic and fear in a demon’s roar.

However, the Defiled Blood Clone Demons that had scattered in different directions, each seeking their own escape route, were indeed filled with genuine terror.

Run, run, run!

Scatter and flee!

But how could Fang Yu possibly let them escape!

Attribute points, every single one was a valuable attribute point! Not one could be missed!!

Buzz!

Buzz…

Buzz!

Buzzz—

Blobs of blood-light erupted one after another.

Each flare signified the annihilation of a Defiled Blood Clone Demon.

The distances between these flares were vast—some could be considered scattered across the globe—yet Fang Yu’s pursuit was incredibly swift! He even chased them far beyond the Forest Snake Gang’s territory, slaying a demon on some random street before doubling back to pursue another.

With the guiding light of the blood-light, he had no fear of losing his way, allowing Fang Yu’s killing spree to proceed with utmost smoothness.

When Fang Yu returned, carrying the head of the last Defiled Blood Clone Demon—

The Forest Snake Gang members in the courtyard stared at him as if he were a monster; the entire place was rendered utterly silent!

"It’s over."

Dropping the head of the Defiled Blood Clone Demon onto the ground, Fang Yu—who had long since shed his Bone Armor, with only a trace of Bone Powder dusting his clothes—spoke calmly.

"M-Mr. Diao, thank you for your hard work!!!"

Fa Hongwen was the first to respond.

As the primary beneficiary of this battle, he who would now completely take over the Forest Snake Gang, Fa Hongwen was overwhelmed with excitement, his emotions surging too strongly to be contained.

Reclaiming the Forest Snake Gang was one factor. The more significant reason was the 'monster' standing before him!

He had discovered a treasure, a true treasure!!

What a terrifyingly powerful Mr. Diao! With such a Guest Elder, the Forest Snake Gang’s ascendancy was all but assured!

"Young Master Diao, your skills are truly impressive."

Qiu Xiaoping had to concede that she had somewhat underestimated the Blood-colored Storm.

When the Blood-colored Storm finally detonated and dissipated, the resulting impact possessed the ability to propel anyone within it to a frightening velocity.

This function alone was sufficient to launch a surprise attack that would catch opponents completely off guard!

Therefore, this Blood-colored Storm could indeed prove useful in clashes between experts of equivalent levels.

But… that was the extent of its capabilities.

The genuinely formidable force was the individual wielding it!

"Lord Qiu, you have indeed worked hard tonight."

By this point, Fang Yu had concluded his demon extermination, his baleful aura completely vanished; he presented a striking contrast to the icy figure from moments before.

A sense of serenity and tranquility now emanated from him.

"You are too kind, too kind..."

"Lord Qiu, concerning the matter we discussed earlier, I must request that you arrange it as soon as possible."

Qiu Xiaoping was slightly taken aback.

She had originally intended to depart that very afternoon but had been persuaded by Fa Hongwen to remain and assist, which caused the situation to extend until the present.

Strictly speaking, she had only stayed to aid Fang Yu; otherwise, she would have departed long ago.

Now that Fang Yu had brought it up, she simply replied,

"In that case, I will return for now. I shall visit the Forest Snake Gang again on another occasion."
