What is this?
Dozens of health bars for the big boss? Changing your outer "shell" with each health bar?
Fang Yu looked down and shivered.
"Senior! Please think thrice, my master is still waiting for me to show filial piety!"
"Hahaha!"
Lin Yiqiu laughed loudly.
"Youâre so scared, whatâs wrong with becoming my âshellâ? I will take care of your family."
Are you freaking kidding me?
Do my family need your care??
"What do you think? Have you made up your mind?" Lin Yiqiuâs face suddenly drew closer.
Gulp!
Fang Yu swallowed hard.
Donât be fooled by the casual beatings dealt by Lin Yiqiu, reducing his health by a neat 100 points each hit.
With his horrifyingly precise control of strength.
Fang Yu had every reason to suspect this was what happened when someoneâs strength was controlled.
Once he lets loose, wouldnât it be a matter of seconds before he applied the same template of a whopping 8000 damage and killed me outright?
Keep in mind... Fang Yu couldnât even defeat a monk with 1000 health.
This isnât a demon, this is a human!
A human with over 8000 health, Fang Yu couldnât fathom how terrifying their strength could be.
Not to mention, this might just be one of Lin Yiqiuâs many "shells" and not even his real body!
"Senior, please, this is no joke, my master, my master..."
"Enough enough, I do not consider your master a concern."
Lin Yiqiu waved his hand, looking at Fang Yu with a face of regret.
"What a pity, you are not yet complete, havenât taken the final step, otherwise, even if I wanted to let you go, the âshellsâ inside me wouldnât agree. They, are very excited about the new companion."
Lin Yiqiuâs smile was twisted, seemingly insane.
The final step?
The container?
Fang Yuâs face turned ugly, a guess forming in his mind.
Damn it, Yuan Hongxin also harbors ill intentions!
Thereâs definitely something wrong with this cultivation technique!
Luckily, it was this cultivation technique that somehow spared my life?
"Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life!"
"Donât rush, I havenât said Iâd let you go yet."
Lin Yiqiu said with a smile, "Tell me, how did my son Lin Jie die? You were the only living person around my son before his death. Donât think about lying to me, if I find your words untruthful, Iâll turn you into my âshellâ, and naturally, I can extract what I want from your memories."
"To be honest, if I wasnât slightly interested in that old manâs research, you wouldnât even have the chance to speak right now."
Cold sweat dripped from Fang Yuâs forehead.
How did Lin Jie die?
Headbutted to death by me!
But can I say that?
Would I still be alive if I did?
How can I deceive this old fellow?
Without raising his suspicions, convince him without getting myself hurt.
"You are hesitating."
Lin Yiqiuâs eyes suddenly narrowed, a finger pointed at Fang Yuâs chest.
"Why hesitate when answering my question? You must be planning to lie."
"Why do you need to lie?" Lin Yiqiuâs tone shifted abruptly.
"Kid, donât tell me... youâre the one who killed my son Lin Jie?"
The heart, it throbbed violently.
Thump!!
-100!
[Health: 1973/4101.]
His chest burst open.
Acid sizzled as it emanated from him.
The skin on his chest dissolved to reveal a fist-sized hole.
Through the hole, you could see the ribs and the thumping heart.
His hand reached in to grasp Fang Yuâs heart.
"Your heart, it sped up just now?"
Gulp!
Fang Yu swallowed another mouthful of saliva.
"Sir, I only saw a part of it. I only saw..."
Boom!!
Before Fang Yu could finish speaking, the ground trembled violently.
"Eh?"
Lin Yiqiu suddenly let go and, in a flash, appeared atop a nearby rooftop.
"Such a, splendid, sightâ"
Lin Yiqiu elongated the tone, gazing into the distance.
Then he suddenly turned back, looking down at Fang Yu on the ground, pointing ahead.
"Is that the Green Demon?"
Green Demon?
Fang Yu froze.
Clutching his chest, he got up and looked over.
He saw a gigantic green withered tree, rooting in the distance, rising from the ground, growing wildly around.
Its roots penetrated deep into the ground, aggressively spreading from it as the center, causing the tremors just now as they passed.
[Green Demon: 4000/4000.]
Damn!
At this time??
He only has 4000 health, he has no idea that a monster here is looking for trouble!!
"Kid, youâve got your life back."
"Once your master has completed the final step, I will come looking for you again."
With a flicker, Lin Yiqiu vanished.
"Green Demon... Green Demon!!"
Fang Yu clenched his fists, looking down at the hole in his chest.
Under the effects of [Limb Regeneration] + [Organ Regeneration], the chest wound was healing rapidly, and the leg injury was lighter, so the broken bone was already healed enough for movement.
Although the life points were recovering slowly, nearly 2000 health points already provided some combat capacity.
"I must inform the Green Demon about Lin Yiqiu and have him immediately stop his molting action tonight, otherwise... he will die!"
Fang Yu had no doubt about Lin Yiqiuâs combat prowess.
Himself being human might be slightly spared, Lin Yiqiu might hold back.
But against a demon, heâd definitely go all out.
A full-powered hit from an old monster at the pinnacle of Lin Family and Tianyuan Town, the mere Green Demon would not be able to withstand it!
Bone element... Phantom White Kick.
Bone powder converged to form a shin guard, Fang Yu attempted to step out.
But suddenly realized that his feet, didnât move.
A moment of confusion, then Fang Yu understood why.
He, was hesitating!
After all, this was just a game.
Facing a top ultimate boss from a small town wasnât something he could take on at this stage.
