Online: I Can See Health Bars

As Zhuo Xueer whispered softly, Fang Yu had already stepped past her and planted a foot on Lin Kuanglong's chest.

Without a word, he raised his sword to strike!

In a life-and-death battle, sentiment is not accounted for.

Even if they had allied before, now that Lin Kuanglong wanted to kill him, Fang Yu naturally wouldn't show mercy either.

But this action directly terrified Zhuo Xueer, who had just come back to her senses.

"Stop!"

"Wait!"

"Spare his life under your sword!"

At that moment, three voices almost simultaneously cried out!

However, Fang Yu's sword did not show the slightest hint of stopping.

But...

Before the longsword could touch Lin Kuanglong's neck, something moved so fast that Fang Yu could hardly see it struck the blade of the longsword in an instant.

Bang!!!

The longsword from the Twin Swords of the Egret.

This longsword, which had been with Fang Yu for quite some time, shattered into dozens of iron fragments at this hit; the subsequent impact even made Fang Yu's right hand, which gripped the hilt, tremble slightly, and fresh blood dripped from his palm.

"Who goes there?"

Fang Yu was taken aback.

With the Bone Armor on, he could have killed Lin Kuanglong.

But facing someone who could launch such an attack, even if he killed Lin Kuanglong, what came next would not be easy to handle.

First, figure out the opponent's strength!

Health bar, show yourself!

Fang Yu looked ahead, where the crowd, after a moment of astonishment, parted to both sides.

Only the bald, white-bearded old man, holding an Iron Bead in one hand, approached slowly with a smiling face.

"Spare a life under your sword, regardless of his wrongdoing, would you leave him alive on my [Stone Elder] account, would that be alright?"

[Lin Nanshuang: 3000/3000.]

3000 health!

Fang Yu's pupils shrank.

Well, indeed, this was someone not to be messed with.

Going all out, maybe there could be a fight?

But out in the open, Fang Yu didn't want to reveal too much of his strength.

After all, to sum it up, Fang Yu himself was only a Martial Artist with 1500 health, his health just happened to be exceptionally high.

Barely managing to fight a 2000 health Lin Kuanglong was feasible, anything beyond was pushing it.

The strangest thing was that Lin Kuanglong seemed not to have inherited the Lin Family's Acid Blood Technique—he had never been seen using it.

That technique is especially grotesque, turning the body's defensive power into that of a Monster-level, spitting Acid Blood with explosively high lethality.

Previously, the 500 health Lin Jie had given his past self a hard time.

Even now with improved strength, he still held deep reservations about this special technique of the Lin Family.

However, the Lin Family's secret techniques shouldn't be accessible to just any member, right? Lin Jie, being the Lin Family Patriarch's son, naturally knew Acid Blood Technique, while Lin Kuanglong seemed to have no renown, probably not high in the Lin Family's rank.

"Turns out... you've been hiding your skill... Sword Technique is... your true trump card!"

Lin Kuanglong, still on the ground, spoke intermittently, with Fang Yu pressing on his rib cage, his breathing hampered.

Lin Kuanglong was the closest to Fang Yu and naturally had a clear view of the deadly attack—it was not swordplay, but... Sword Technique!

He thought Fang Yu's concealed killer move was in that Dagger Blade; he even divided some attention to guard against it in his attack, but little did he expect... this man's schemes ran deep!

Fang Yu, oblivious, had strangely been labeled by Lin Kuanglong.

[Lin Kuanglong: 475/2043.]

Fang Yu checked Lin Kuanglong's health, which was still quite substantial.

Li Xunxue was not that efficient, after all.

His demeanor was fierce, and his offensive seemed fierce.

But in reality, he hadn't caused much actual damage, whether to Fang Yu or to Lin Kuanglong.

The real trouble was just that restraining ability of the waves of blood.

This much was clear when Li Xunxue left the Blood Pool to single out both men but was instantly killed.

Even after retreating into the Blood Pool, he didn't gain much of an upper hand.

So, even if adding up the damage Lin Kuanglong suffered from the frenzied pursuit of the crowd earlier, after tallying up, not much health was lost.

It was not until Fang Yu's sword strike that he was cut down to this state.

Luckily, Lin Kuanglong lacked the Acid Blood Technique, or the effect of that strike would have been greatly reduced.

At this moment, even though Lin Kuanglong still had health left, he was suppressed by Fang Yu and had severe chest wounds.

If Fang Yu was unwilling to let go, another sword strike could decapitate him, almost certainly killing him.

After all, an ordinary person without a head is truly dead.

But with the 3000 health Blood Warrior watching eagerly, and no teammates capable of standing against him... it's better to play it safe.

"[Stone Elder] Lin Nanshuang... the deputy captain of Lin Family Martial Arts Hall's first team, and Lin Kuanglong's uncle."

Zhuo Xueer, beside Fang Yu, murmured, revealing the man's identity.

Another deputy captain?

Fang Yu recalled that their Yangshen Hall's official Deputy Captain, Dong Xingzhou, also had 3000 health.

Seems that a deputy captain generally has this level of strength?

Someone like Zhuo Xueer, slightly weaker, is just the strength of a Reserve Deputy Captain.

"It is the Stone Elder!"

"The Lin Family's real Monster has appeared..."

"The Stone Elder, his iron beads are said to be made of mysterious iron. Combined with his Hidden Weapon skills, even in a direct confrontation they're hard to defend against, let alone when his real forte lies in ambush!"

"I've heard from my elders that the Stone Elder's Hidden Weapon mastery is such that within ten paces, there's no miss, and the power is astonishing—a single bead can tear through human flesh! Even a hundred paces away, they can still hit the target! Years ago, countless reputable warriors died obscure deaths with their heads blown open on the road because they offended the Stone Elder. With age and the establishment of a family, he gradually restrained himself and seldom appeared in public."

Some recounted the Stone Elder's tales of glory.

But the events of yesteryears have become history.

Lin Nanshuang was well past the age of contention and ambition, with a face that bore a kind and compassionate look.
