Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1589 - 711: Disturbance
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Song Zhenrong left, returning to the city of Da Liang, heading straight to the Foolish Underworld, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu withdrew his gaze, took Ding Hui by his side, and turned to leave, rushing into the boundless wilderness.
Behind him, he could sense that several terrifying presences were rapidly pursuing in his direction!
One, two, three... four!
Gulp.
Fang Yu swallowed hard, not daring to stop.
With Ding Hui in tow, he pushed his movement technique to the limit, blood surged through his body, ready to execute the Three Thousand Wood-Blood Jutsu to escape at any moment!
Run run run!
Though he hadn’t yet seen them with his own eyes, just by judging their aura, those pursuers were definitely not to be trifled with!
If caught, Fang Yu might survive, but Ding Hui would surely perish!
He could only flee, only run! Not giving the opponents any chance!
Fang Yu, carrying Ding Hui, darted between the trees and underbrush, not daring to take the official road.
The official road was straight and wide, making it far too conspicuous.
If they managed to shake off the pursuers, they could return to the main road, but for now, they had to take the path through the wilderness!
Leaving the official road, the pursuers from behind could no longer predict where they were headed, losing their ability to judge the direction.
Unless there was someone among the pursuers skilled in tracking, they would have to wait for daylight for the tracking experts to follow the traces to determine their direction.
But by then, they would already have escaped far away, so what if their direction was discovered?
Thus, as long as they survived tonight’s pursuit, the subsequent trouble wouldn’t need to be worried about!
Fang Yu, while estimating the approximate position of the pursuers behind, continuously accelerated, dodged obstacles, and changed escape directions based on judgment.
In a sudden turn, a massive head unexpectedly emerged from beside him.
[Big Stone Demon: 12175/16487.]
"Roar?!!"
The Stone Demon seemed equally startled, letting out a roar.
Fang Yu had no time to deal with it, deftly sidestepped, and rushed straight ahead!
Almost as soon as the Big Stone Demon reacted, Fang Yu’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.
The slow Big Stone Demon then roared once more, moved its stone legs, and chased in the direction Fang Yu had fled.
But as soon as it took its stone legs two steps...
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish!
Fine lines instantly sliced it into rubble, before it could even resist, it had already crumbled to dust.
"Brother Lu’s temper is quite heated tonight."
"..."
"Doesn’t Brother Lu always have this temperament?"
"Hahaha! That lad sure knows how to run, but this is the wilderness. The quantity of demons in the wild is abundant, some of which even we dare not offend. With him fleeing in panic blindly, it’s only a matter of time before he runs into a demon, and when he does, they’ll signal us the direction to pursue."
"I’ve always said, that guy is making futile efforts. Since we’ve decided to continue chasing outside the city, that guy is... certain death!"
In their casual chatting and laughing, the runaway was merely a turtle in the jar, catching him was just a matter of time, and they didn’t pay him any mind.
It’s even safe to say that most of their energy was focused on their fellow peers.
These old adversaries whom they needed to guard against!
As for the outsider fleeing, he was merely an appetizer for a grand feast.
The moment they captured him, the true banquet would begin!
Those old folks had not yet engaged in internal conflict or erupted into disputes.
Apart from each having injuries and not being in good condition, the more significant reason was... at the first encounter in the Nanyuan Family, the two key figures in those incidents had already defected from Nanyuan.
With the core figures of the matter escaping, coupled with the unresolved injuries, they feared and therefore did not hand-to-hand right there.
After some negotiation, the result was the present four-person joint pursuit of the outsider.
Logically, the Lu Family, Yi Family, and Shu Family’s patriarchs were supposed to join forces to eliminate the Nanyuan Ancestor. Once the Nanyuan Ancestor left his fortress, a direct battle would ensue.
But that wasn’t the reality.
These three families appeared to have reached cooperation and came to hunt together.
However, if a real fight broke out, whoever first confronted the Nanyuan Ancestor would suffer!
The other two, remaining on the sidelines, would not step in to help, and might even take advantage, attack from behind; they not only wanted the Nanyuan Ancestor dead but also desired the demise of others!
And the Nanyuan Ancestor, aware of this logic, still went to pursue Fang Yu with these three.
The reason was simple.
Due to Ding Hui’s existence, all the advantages Nanyuan had accumulated would vanish.
Attempting to capture Ding Hui under the watchful eyes of three equally strong figures was difficult.
Thus, eliminating Ding Hui became the Nanyuan Ancestor’s priority, whereas Fang Yu seemed lesser in importance.
After all... even if pushed to the limit, he was just a high-level henchman, not capable of stirring much trouble, not worth mentioning.
Each harbored ulterior motives, yet continued their collective action.
And ahead, they had already perceived the presence of those two targets!
In terms of speed, they held the advantage!
However, as they sensed the target, it seemed the target also suddenly became aware of something.
One glance back, and they met the eyes of the young lad for the first time!
