At first, Fang Yu thought that she was under Yu Wenwuji’s command to assassinate some specific targets that needed to be eliminated.
But that was not the case.
Or rather, Fang Yu’s ability to see health bars allowed him to directly see through Li Xunxue’s trajectory of murder.
"She’s choosing... opponents with over 500 health to kill!"
"No... To be precise, her target’s health threshold is continuously increasing."
"At first, she would kill someone with even 510 health, but right before breaking out, she completely ignored another Martial Artist beside her with 550 health."
"In other words, she is selecting targets with health above her own standard of 500 to absorb, in order to gain 1 point of health."
"And this 1 point of health translates into a genuine increase in strength! Unlike me who’s merely increasing the total amount of health."
"That is... exceedingly terrifying!"
Having this ability meant this woman must possess some method of sensing her targets’ approximate strength, otherwise, she would not be able to be so precise in enhancing her own strength with each kill.
Fang Yu narrowed his eyes.
Fang Yu didn’t know if this ability had any limitations, but if left unchecked, it might truly create a monster.
A monster of the Li Family.
Strangely, despite Fang Yu having searched all over the bloody waves, he still hadn’t found Li Baizhen’s corpse.
The previous [0/500] health bar, just like a final farewell before death, evoked a sense of desolation.
Completely dead, is he... Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel•fire.net
He closed his eyes, sighing.
When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with murderous intent.
"I will be the one to kill this woman!"
The bloody waves exploded!
All eyes turned to see the sea of blood being split apart.
In the midst of the falling blood rain, a young man broke free from the bloody waves and floated down from midair, landing steadily.
"It’s Diao... Thank goodness! You’re okay! Wait! Your face!"
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted in alarm and joy, sounding like Suo Fengxiang.
Fang Yu touched his cheek and realized that the mask he used for disguise had been mostly eroded by the bloody waves, revealing much of his real face, along with parts of the damaged disguise.
He tore off these remnants, Fang Yu faced the two with his true appearance.
"Lin Kuanglong, the life of this woman is mine."
Fang Yu spoke indifferently.
Lin Kuanglong glanced at him sideways.
"The body of my deceased wife has been destroyed; that vengeance cannot be passed on."
"Then... let’s see whose ability prevails!"
A gust of wind blew, fluttering the clothes of the three individuals.
Fang Yu and Lin Kuanglong stood in a front-and-back encirclement.
And Li Xunxue, caught in the middle, licked her lips.
"I smell the blood of the strong."
Almost instantaneously as Li Xunxue’s words fell, Fang Yu and Lin Kuanglong both moved!
The ground where they stood exploded simultaneously, tiles shattered.
Two figures charged straight at each other, their target evidently being Li Xunxue, who stood in the middle!
Li Xunxue’s pupils instantly dilated.
She had greatly misjudged the strength of her opponents!
Before she could react, the two figures had already closed in, nearly face-to-face with her!
Li Xunxue heard the intense, piercing sound of air being torn apart.
Then came two sword Techniques, unbelievably fast, slashing across her body in a flash!
Li Xunxue couldn’t see the trajectory of the sword moves, nor how the two men executed them.
She only saw the two, as if in tacit understanding, crossing each other and quickly receding, along with her own arms that were slashed and sent flying high!
Only then did her chest and back start to bleed profusely as if gushing out blood.
At a distance, the bloody waves suddenly twisted and shrank as if a portion had condensed.
Li Xunxue, having lost her arms in an instant, fell to her knees, unable even to comprehend what had just happened in that moment.
In just an instant, have my arms been... severed???
Li Xunxue was struck by a tremendous shock and self-doubt.
Her chest bore a horrific tear-like wound.
The scar ran diagonally from the left waist, tearing through the abdomen, and emerging from the right shoulder, sending her right arm soaring.
The searing pain from her back indicated that the wound there was even more severe, with bones nearly protruding, and the finishing move, similar in execution, aimed to sever her arms as well.
At this moment, from an outsider’s perspective, Li Xunxue had already become a bloody figure drenched in blood.
The diagonal cuts forming a giant X on her torso were especially shocking.
"That guy... who exactly is he?!!"
"To stand equal in strength with the Lin Family’s monster, that man cannot be a nobody!"
"Without his disguise, his face is unfamiliar to me; I cannot recognize who he is."
"He must be one of the foreign Martial Artists who recently entered, probably an elite Disciple from some Major Sect outside."
Some people spoke enviously, others were puzzled.
Without a doubt, the combined X Technique of the two left a great impact on everyone.
While Lin Kuanglong was slaughtering the crowd single-handedly, there was such a master hidden among them, not confronting him.
When that bizarre woman controlled the blood waves to slaughter the masses and command the situation, little did everyone know, aside from Lin Kuanglong alone, there was someone who could break out of the bloody waves just like Lin Kuanglong, and even counterattack that strange woman!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon indeed..."
