Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1588 - 710: Parting Ways (2)
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
A roar, stimulating the eardrums, akin to a thunderous roar, caused the surrounding ground to tremble slightly, compelling people to cover their ears!
"Short temper."
The Lu Family Ancestor, who had been silent all along, finally spoke coldly at this moment.
He wasted no words, and directly said coldly: "Hand over the person. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite."
He Guxue sighed.
"Honored elders, the person truly isn’t here..."
Before He Guxue could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed!
Almost instantly, she grabbed Hong Yanxia and Elder Lu by her side and retreated swiftly!
Boom!!!
The next instant, the entire Foolish Underworld shook like an earthquake, and the surrounding citizens’ faces changed in fear, emitting panicked screams.
And He Guxue, with an unpleasant face, looked ahead, only to see the spot where they had just stood had become a deep pit about three to five meters in size.
If they hadn’t dodged it, serious injuries were inevitable.
This Lu Family Ancestor might have been sparse with words, but his actions were ruthlessly severe! He was the one who caused He Guxue’s heart to race the most.
"Next time, I won’t miss."
Seemingly sensing the gaze from the three, the Lu Family Ancestor’s indifferent voice slowly emerged.
The other three ancestors had no intention to intervene and instead seemed content to watch the spectacle unfold.
It’s not like they were dealing with an old acquaintance like the Master of Foolish Earth Mansion, just teaching a lesson to youngsters, they felt no pressure.
Cold sweat appeared on He Guxue’s forehead; she realized time was running out.
Raising her hand, pointing in a direction, He Guxue said: "Over there, after they left the Foolish Underworld, they went in that direction. They should have left the city by now."
As soon as these words were spoken, several ancestors revealed expressions of displeasure to varying degrees.
"Playing tricks!"
"I’ll spare you this time for Yu Qiuling’s sake!"
"..."
Three figures quickly departed front and back, following the direction He Guxue pointed.
But... the Lu Family Ancestor did not leave.
He stood still, coldly watching He Guxue.
That gaze placed immense pressure on He Guxue, involuntarily making her slowly lower her head.
Only then did the Lu Family Ancestor speak.
"You should be aware of the consequences of deceiving us."
"Xue Er wouldn’t dare!" He Guxue still bowed her head, and said sincerely.
"Of course, you wouldn’t dare. But you did indeed make me upset."
He Guxue was stunned for a moment, as if realizing something, she quickly raised her head.
But it was too late!
Buzz!
A sudden and extremely brief sound of piercing air appeared from nowhere!
The next instant...
Slash!!!!
An invisible thread cut through the crowd below!
The people standing at the forefront of the crowd suffered first.
Their bodies were bisected as if by an invisible fine thread!
Before realizing anything, their upper bodies smoothly fell to the ground!
As the scene paused for a moment, it crazily spread backward!
The invisible thread instantly bisected everyone in the crowd below simultaneously!!
In a moment, the upper bodies of everyone below flew off, rolling to the ground!
And the exaggerated speed of the bisection was such that many didn’t even realize they had been cut.
In a brief moment of brain activity, they emitted the most pitiful screams, the most desolate wails, and the most desperate pleas of their lives.
"Hall Master... Hall Master save me!!"
"Ahhh!!! My body! My body!!!"
"No... no!! I just cured the Water Poison, I just lived a second life... No!!!!"
The upper bodies struggled to crawl a few steps, then went still, leaving bloody trails.
The lower half of the body was lying on the ground, bleeding.
For a moment, the entire courtyard was like a scene from a purgatory on Earth, with blood and remains coexisting, and wails and despair echoing.
After He Guxue and the other two Hall Masters stared blankly at this scene for about a dozen breaths.
All the commotion and sounds fell silent, leaving only the mess and corpses on the ground, telling what had happened here.
"If there is a next time, I will make all the people in the Foolish Underworld end up like this."
Leaving behind these cold words, the Lu Family Ancestor flashed away, chasing in the direction the other three ancestors had left.
"Ah... Ah! Ahh!!"
Hong Yanxia only seemed to come back to her senses at this moment, gasping in horror, and then suddenly looked at He Guxue.
"Xue Er! The direction you pointed is correct, right? You didn’t deceive those old monsters, did you? Young Master Diao left from that direction, right!"
She was confused, somewhat muddled by fear.
Even though she was one of the witnesses watching Fang Yu leave, at this moment, she was so scared she forgot whether Fang Yu left in that direction.
Because the power displayed by the Lu Family Ancestor was truly terrifying, truly terrifying!
Invisible, indiscernible, unbreakable!
There wasn’t even a chance to react, to understand what kind of move that was, and people were already dead, falling piece by piece.
And if that move landed on her head... the result wouldn’t be any different!
She would die silently and powerlessly like those bifurcated commoners on the ground!
This chilling power disparity is what truly instills fear!
Beside her, Elder Lu wasn’t any better, his hands and feet were still trembling!
Their stress tolerance was much lower than that of He Guxue, and it was already quite restrained that they didn’t shout aloud earlier.
"..."
He Guxue didn’t respond to the two but instead glanced in the direction the old ancestors left, thinking to herself.
"Young Master Diao, I’ve done everything I can here with utmost kindness; whether you can escape smoothly now depends on your own fate."
...
Boom!!
The huge commotion from behind immediately drew the attention of Fang Yu and the others.
They were already on top of the city wall, needing only to jump down to be out of Da Liang City’s boundary.
But at this moment, the disruption from behind caused Song Zhenrong, who was accompanying them... to waver.
"Mr. Diao! That-that noise is coming from the Foolish Underworld!"
Song Zhenrong said nervously.
Clearly, the streets behind them were still filled with people bearing torches pursuing them, but Song Zhenrong was only concerned with the situation at the Foolish Underworld.
Fang Yu shook his head: "It’s no longer our concern! The Foolish Underworld will take care of them, facing those old ancestors, I’m not confident of winning. Going back rashly would be entering a dragon pond and tiger cave, risking our lives!"
Since we can’t even defend ourselves, how could we take care of others?
But Song Zhenrong couldn’t stand it anymore.
He looked at the tumor on Ding Hui’s back, and then at the noise from the Foolish Underworld, suddenly gritting his teeth he said: "Mr. Diao, Divine Doctor Ding, I’ll go back to check the situation! You go ahead!"
After speaking, he was about to jump back, but Fang Yu grabbed his wrist, holding him back.
"Are you insane! At this point, you still want to go back? What about Song Xi!"
"Mr. Diao, I trust you and Divine Doctor Ding, Song Xi will be safe with your care. But those commoners, those companions who trusted us and moved into the Foolish Underworld, if we leave, no one will take care of them!"
"They have hands and feet, they can fend for themselves, they don’t need your worry!"
"Mr. Diao, please let me go back! I’ll stay a couple more days in Da Liang City, arrange the matters properly, and then I’ll catch up with you! The nearest town to Da Liang City is Jin’an City, I will definitely come to find you!"
Fang Yu stared intensely at Song Zhenrong, while beside him, Ding Hui seemed silent yet his urging voice kept echoing in Fang Yu’s mind.
"Husband, you can’t save everyone, let him go."
"The Foolish Underworld can’t hold for long; if we don’t leave now, we won’t be able to leave later!"
"That’s Captain Song’s own decision, let him decide his life, don’t intervene!"
"Husband!! Time waits for no one!!"
Hoo—
Fang Yu let out a breath and released his hand.
"Captain Song, we might not stay in Jin’an City. I can only say, as long as we’re alive, Ding Hui and I will eventually show up in the Capital. If you can’t find us in Jin’an City, then come to the Capital and meet us! Your sister will be waiting for you!"
"Mr. Diao!"
Song Zhenrong nodded heavily with excitement.
"Once I’ve arranged everything for the others, I’ll definitely catch up with you!"
