Online: I Can See Health Bars

Bang bang bang bang!!

Jinfang Zai continuously blocked, gradually falling into a disadvantage, retreating step by step.

The attacker’s offensive was fierce, and due to the ability to step in midair, their movement technique was extremely exquisite.

When battling on the roof, they almost showcased a strong geographical advantage.

Jinfang Zai immediately realized that if he wanted to win without unleashing demonization, he had to reclaim the home-field advantage, retreat below, and engage in narrow pathways or confined places to have a higher chance of victory.

Just as Jinfang Zai was about to act, a chilling aura suddenly surged from behind!

Was it the one from earlier?!

With a changed expression, he slapped away the enemy in front of him, turned around, and roared loudly, ready to face the enemy from behind, just barely recognizing the attacker as a person covered entirely by withered wood, holding a woman with one hand...

Slap.

A phantom hand, swift as lightning, suddenly pierced through his hands, landing firmly on his chest.

No power, no force, no pain.

This was an empty palm, a powerless palm.

In that moment, a fleeting moment of relief flashed through Jinfang Zai’s mind...

Then.

"Open,"

"Tree."

Boom!!!!

A pitch-black tree explosively grew recklessly in midair!!

Jinfang Zai felt his body being swallowed by a terrifying force of wild growth, with old power not yet dissipated, new power already generated, easily penetrating his steel-like muscles and bones, piercing through his well-trained internal organs, rend his body with countless holes, each as dense as needles and impossible to defend against!

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

The exaggerated power swept him to the ground like a torrent, accompanied by the madly growing black tree!

With a thud, he landed heavily, kicking up a cloud of dust, yet his body remained suppressed by the residual force, unable to rise.

Demon! A true demon! Some kind of super Bone Demon!!

Jinfang Zai roared in his heart, and the power restrained within his body ceased to endure, allowing it to rush through his bloodstream furiously.

"Demon... ization!!!"

Lying in a large character form suppressed by the ever-growing black tree, Jinfang Zai roared with bulging veins on his forehead.

Boom!!

In the next instant.

A terrifying aura surged skywards from his body, at the moment of Jinfang Zai’s aura transformation, Qiu Xiaoping’s entire body bristled instantly.

"Retreat! If we’re delayed until Foolish Underworld’s reinforcements arrive, we’ll all be dead!"

She shouted to the figure standing on the roof’s edge, overlooking below, the one completely covered in deadwood-colored Bone Armor, holding a woman with one hand.

Fang Yu ignored this, instead stepping towards the hanging roof’s edge.

Slap.

At this moment, a cold hand landed on his chest.

"Diao Deyi, go! I’m fine! I just fainted earlier."

Fang Yu’s rationality returned.

[System Prompt: [Demonization] progress increased by 5%.]

The Tree Opening under low demonization was not particularly strong, but it was already sufficient, yet now the enemy’s aura was wildly increasing!

That represented a dramatic change in strength.

As a fellow Demon Martial Artist, Fang Yu realized how exaggerated the power augmentation was for demonized Demon Martial Artists.

Even though continuing the battle, Fang Yu had the confidence to win, not to mention his strength, there was also support to constrain, with at least eight thousand blood combat power from Qiu Xiaoping beside him.

Yet the time required was an unknown variable.

Trying to defeat this person quickly was unrealistic.

After demonization, his strength might have soared to seventy or eighty thousand Blood Demon’s level, incomparable to before.

And this was just one Hall Master.

Foolish Underworld has many similar Hall Masters, dragging this out would only become increasingly troublesome.

Earlier, seeing Ding Hui almost injured, Fang Yu acted in rage, now cooling down, Fang Yu knew it wasn’t the time for battle.

Watching the rapidly changing form below, rapidly expanding size, and wildly increasing aura, Fang Yu held Ding Hui tightly.

"Alright, let’s go."

With only one sentence, Fang Yu retreated immediately, without lingering in battle.

Beside him, Qiu Xiaoping also let out a sigh of relief.

"Split up and escape! I’ll find you tomorrow night!"

After saying that, she already headed in another direction.

Jinfang Zai, who had already completed the Demonization, only watched as the two separated and fled, and their rapidly departing backs, slowly clenched his fists.

He could pursue, but he dared not!

With brief Demonization, the degree of demonization wouldn’t have too obvious an increase, but if he pursued and engaged in battle, the degree of demonization would uncontrollably surge.

At that time, no matter what the final outcome of the pursuit battle was, it was not something he could accept.

Letting them go now is, instead, a win-win situation.

The Foolish Underworld wasn’t his alone; besides him, there were others who could handle those two guys, and he could also join forces with other Hall Masters of the Foolish Underworld or follow the Lord of the Mansion to fight. There was absolutely no need to rush in alone and risk his life.

He was old.

He had passed the age of risking everything.

Now, he just wanted to enjoy life, just wanted to live longer.

"Lord Jin!"

"Lord Hall Master!"

"My lord, what about those two demons?"

Whether those two guys were demons or not was hard to say, but verbally, everyone referred to enemies by the demon moniker; it was a rule in the Foolish Underworld.

"Blue Wind Tower, two Great Demons at the Glory level, make a note of it. Write up a report and present it to me later, I will personally hand it over to the Lord of the Mansion for a decision."

Cold and heat withered and flourished.

A Glory-level Great Demon, that means a super Great Demon almost at the same realm as the Lord Hall Master.

The surrounding members of the Foolish Underworld were shocked into wide-eyed silence, yet no one dared to discuss it a single word.

Someone suddenly thought of something and said.

"Lord Hall Master, those two Great Demons have accomplices, they are fleeing, we have already set a Heaven and Earth Net, they won’t escape! When we interrogate the whereabouts of those two Great Demons, it’ll be two birds with one stone!"

Jinfang Zai raised an eyebrow.

"Accomplices? Which direction did they escape to? I will personally chase!"

Not all of them could be Great Demons, right?

There must be small fry...

Jinfang Zai felt his luck wouldn’t be that bad, and if demons of that level were everywhere, then as a Hall Master, he would be doing nothing.

"I will lead the way for the Lord Hall Master!"

"Lord Hall Master, I have intel!"

...

"!!!?"

Fang Yu, who quietly returned to the inn, was immediately taken aback.

The inn where they were staying was already surrounded by the Foolish Underworld!

"Wait a moment! It seems it’s not the people from Jinfang Zai’s group."

Ding Hui squinted, hanging on Fang Yu’s body, and whispered.

Only then did Fang Yu look carefully and find some of the names were somewhat familiar.

Looking further inside the inn, it turned out to be Song Zhenrong sitting there.

Ah!

It turns out it’s you.

Fang Yu had been causing trouble over at the brothel earlier, and now he was fleeing over here, no matter how fast the Foolish Underworld’s news travelled, it couldn’t be so fast that Song Zhenrong knew the situation.

"That guy should be here to deliver the reward."

Ding Hui loosened her hands from around Fang Yu’s neck, took two steps forward, and whispered.

No matter what he’s here for, Song Zhenrong’s side should be friendly for now.

"Let’s go over there."

Fang Yu led Ding Hui towards the inn.

They hadn’t even approached yet, and the Foolish Underworld members guarding the door had already recognized the two of them. Aside from one hurriedly running inside to report, the rest stood upright and respectfully said.

"Greetings, Mrs. Diao!"

"Greetings, Mr. Diao!"

The battle last night was still fresh in their memories, and they dared not posture against someone who could evenly match Captain Song.

Fang Yu nodded slightly, holding Ding Hui’s hand, and stepped into the inn.

During the escape earlier, they were suddenly ambushed by Jinfang Zai. Although he urgently transitioned from normalcy to Bone Transformation to Yuan Demon Body in one fell swoop to block the attack, in retrospect, he still felt waves of fear.

The attack came too suddenly; if he hadn’t been vigilant enough, just the aftershock alone would have been enough to end Ding Hui’s life on the spot.

Even in a moment of anger, when Fang Yu counterattacked with Tree Opening, he considered directly using the Bloodline Spirit’s [Repeat] ability.
