Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar-Chapter 905 - 415: Old Companions of Days Past
"There's an ambush ahead, be careful when the fight starts."
Fang Yu didn't take notice and went to remind Hei Ao.
However, Hei Ao didn't appreciate it, and arrogantly replied.
"I have my own methods!"
Suit yourself.
Fang Yu was indifferent.
The only thing that caught Fang Yu's attention was a familiar name among the people lying in ambush.
[Jin Yexue: 58/58.]
Fang Yu pondered for a solid five seconds before recalling who this familiar name belonged to.
A person who used to work as a gate guard at his residence, and liked to disguise as a man.
Most importantly, this person might be a player.
Due to the trouble associated with her, Fang Yu had dismissed her. Who could have thought they would meet again in the wild, and she'd even set an ambush for him.
And judging by the health bar, ever since getting fired, she seemed to be doing quite well, her strength skyrocketing.
Although not comparable to himself, he gained attributes by slaying demons, whereas average players rarely confront demons directly at low power levels.
No reason, just lacking strength.
Without some fortuitous encounters, most players face death when confronting demons directly.
But anyway, an insignificant character with less than a hundred health wasn't worth his attention.
His gaze shifted from [Jin Yexue] to the guy next to her.
[Ying Geyun: 2749/3071.]
[Qi Hanxiang: 3677/3801.]
[Bian Zhong: 2359/2614.]
[Guan Qingning: 4015/4281.]
[Tu Hongyi: 3146/4010.]
[...]
A quick scan revealed all unfamiliar faces.
No particularly strong individuals, but the overall caliber was quite high, comparable to a captain-level power group's team-building event from the Foolish Underworld's side.
However, so-called high quality also requires comparison.
Before yesterday, Fang Yu and his companions might have had to avoid this team.
But now...
Fang Yu looked at Zuo Caicai in the center of the team.
Just she alone could crush these people, not to mention other experts from the Zuo Family, elite from the Hei Family, plus himself and Ling Huxiang; Fang Yu wondered where the other side got the guts to ambush them.
The team didn't directly enter the Death Forest but suddenly stopped a short distance from the entrance, an act that evidently unsettled the ambush group.
Fang Yu noticed several health bars in hiding subtly shifting closer to them.
They really aren't afraid of death.
Fang Yu placed a hand on the hilt at his waist, softly licking his dry lips.
With each holding three or four thousand health, they were all moving blood bags; if he absorbed it all, his total health could take another leap.
Swish, swish, swish!
Just as Fang Yu thought of this, three figures had already launched assaults at their team from the left, middle, and right!
"Enemy attack!!"
The Hei Family disciple at the vanguard shouted and drew his sword.
But two figures had already detached from the team and charged out before the shout rang!
It was Zuo Caicai and Fang Yu.
Fang Yu was surprised that Zuo Caicai, the strongest in the team, took the initiative to strike, but he didn't dwell on it, as they had different targets.
He locked onto the enemy on the right.
[Ying Geyun: 2749/3071.]
While Zuo Caicai's target was the four-thousand-health expert leaping from the shadows into the air for a middle attack.
As for the enemy on the left, the two let that one into the team.
The battle erupted instantly.
"Who's this brat!"
Ying Geyun shouted, oblivious to the fact that his under-full three-thousand-health combat power meant nothing to Fang Yu.
An overhead smack with a stick, Fang Yu neither dodged nor evaded, directly drawing his sword to block.
Clang!!!
The stick, heavy and forceful, caused Fang Yu's figure to slightly pause, then quickly approached Ying Geyun along the staff like a swimming dragon.
A longer unit confers strength.
Sticks are suitable for mid-range combat, but too close makes maneuver difficult.
So Ying Geyun retreated.
While withdrawing, he didn't forget to draw back the staff behind. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Hands that should have held the end of the staff quickly shifted to the mid-section.
But in the next moment, a sharp blade opened a wound on his hand's backside.
Shhh!
-158!
[Ying Geyun: 2591/3071.]
The fragile [Qi] barrier on the back of his hand, weak as glass, shattered under the slash.
Blood splattered from his hand, and the pain nearly made him let go.
Just one slash, and the wound on his hand nearly exposed bone, indicating its depth.
But unlike his lacking defense, his use of qi force in attack was exceptional.
Raising his knee for a strike incorporated qi force, forcing the opponent to dodge before Ying Geyun reversed his staff with a circular motion to maintain his reach advantage.
With distance secured, Ying Geyun watched his opponent cautiously, only to hear screams from his deputy's direction.
"Ah!!!"
Ying Geyun's face changed.
He knew the deputy's strength.
In mere moments, that woman could make the deputy scream; what kind of strength does she have??
At this point, Ying Geyun considered retreating, but the young man he had just beaten back was already engaging him again.
Facing Ying Geyun's stick technique, he quickly realized that with just a longsword, his opponent was overpowering him!
If not for his unsophisticated swordsmanship, Ying Geyun might have already lost.
Even so, his body was already accumulating new wounds.
