Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 299: Chapter 187 New Trial_2

Qian Guxing noticed something was off with Fang Yu and asked with concern.

”Diao Deyi, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Fang Yu gestured with his hand to show it was nothing serious.

He glanced at the prisoners in the cell in front of him.

[Duan Quwen: 45/45.]

After such a clean sweep, are these the only good-for-nothings left?

Fang Yu commented with a lack of interest.

”Let’s wrap up the inspection here today. I’ll come back another day to search the prison for any hiding demons.”

It’s you who’s the demon!

[Duan Quwen], hidden in a corner, thought to himself angrily.

Hearing that the God of Killing was leaving, he was so happy he almost jumped for joy.

No choice, the pressure was just too great!

While others conduct interrogations and at most give you a set of torture combos,

This God of Killing was different, he really kills!

The kind that leaves you with no room to defend yourself.

A saying silently spread among the prisoners overshadowed by the God of Killing:

When you’re considered a demon by the God of Killing, you’d best actually be one!

Because if you are a demon, at least you have some chance to fight back.

But if you’re just an ordinary murderer, then sorry, facing the God of Killing, death is your ultimate fate.

[Duan Quwen] had killed someone before, his very own brother.

But when his brother refused to lend him money for gambling, of course he had to be killed, and he took the money himself to continue gambling.

Gambling is how you turn your life around, how to pay back your principal. His brother didn’t understand this, he deserved to die.

[Duan Quwen] only regretted not winning money that night; he was captured by the Foolish Underworld and thrown into prison the next morning, but he never regretted killing his brother.

Once I get out, I’m going to my elder brother’s place! My sister-in-law has suffered enough living like a widow, better to take her to a brothel and exchange her for money so I can gamble again.

Duan Quwen thought to himself with hatred.

Unknowingly, his twisted and ferocious thoughts were reflected on his face, and he caught the attention of the God of Killing who was just about to leave.

”Wait! What crime did this guy commit?”

”Let me think, it seems he killed his elder brother, then stole his brother’s money to squander it gambling, and then we caught him.”

Pausing, Qian Guxing added, ”According to the file, this [Duan Quwen] has been in our prison before, but back then it was just petty theft, nothing serious. The investigation found out he’s a gambling addict, with an incorrigible habit.”

”This time, however...”

Qian Guxing didn’t continue because she noticed Fang Yu was already ordering people to unlock the cell and extract the prisoner.

”No! Don’t come over here!”

[Duan Quwen] panicked and yelled loudly, but it was futile.

”Lord spare me! Mr. Diao spare me!!”

[Duan Quwen] was kowtowing and begging for mercy, wetting himself, but Fang Yu asked coldly a couple of questions, then drew his sword.

The sword flashed.

-45!

A critical hit.

[Duan Quwen: 0/45.]

[System Alert:...]

[Health: 3346/4246.]

The pleading stopped.

A chilling wind seemed to sweep through the entire prison.

All the prisoners were terrified, silent as cicadas in winter.

Only when the sound of footsteps gradually faded did their hanging hearts slowly settle.

”He’s gone, right?”

”Seems like he’s gone, right?”

”Phew—That God of Killing has finally left.”

”He’s so terrifying! He kills every time he comes, it’s just lawlessness. Is there no one to put him in check?”

”We’re prisoners, who’s going to bother with us?”

”Who says so? I still have some connections. If you all can help me escape, I’ll find a way to report this matter to the higher-ups of the Foolish Underworld, I guarantee that Diao Deyi won’t last long on this path.”

The moment that person finished speaking, a prison guard leisurely turned his head.

The prisoner’s heart skipped a beat.

Scared out of his wits, only thinking about how to save his life, he had completely forgotten there was a prison guard next to him.

”Prison guard sir, I was just joking, just joking!”

But it was too late, the guard unlocked the cell and took the prisoner for interrogation.

Horrible screams came from inside, not much better than being killed by the God of Killing directly.

The prisoners looked at each other, and they all felt that these guards, after the visit from the God of Killing, had seemed to grow a lot braver.

You see, before, under Qian Guxing’s lead, these guards wouldn’t dare to let out a single sound in front of these vicious prisoners, now they dare to whisk people away for whipping and torture, employing corporal punishment.

The prisoners all showed bitter faces; the prison was increasingly becoming a place hard to endure, they should figure out a way to ask someone to get them out soon.

...

Prison exterior.

As soon as Fang Yu stepped out of the prison, he saw someone waiting at the gate for quite some time.

”Mr. Diao Deyi?”

The person called out.

Fang Yu felt this person looked somewhat familiar.

[Gu Dongjia: 80/80.]

He remembered, it was a trusted follower of Li Baizhen.

”Lord Li Baizhen summons you to his courtyard; the manpower for the task is ready.”

Fang Yu nodded slightly.

Prison was not a place that just anyone could enter at will.

Most people, without connections or legitimate tasks, could only wait outside, unable to enter.

Fang Yu also relied on the special privileges of Qian Guxing to freely come and go like this.

Turning to Qian Guxing, who had escorted him to the prison gate, Fang Yu said,

”That will be all for now, I’ll come to see you another day.”

”Mhm!”

Qian Guxing nodded vigorously.

Fang Yu left, and Qian Guxing did not shift his gaze until Fang Yu’s figure was out of sight.

The duty of guarding the prison was like being imprisoned, never seeing the sunlight, isolated from the outside world.

Only on days off did one have a bit of freedom.

Qian Guxing disliked working in the prison, but it was the job left by her father, and also the best job she could have access to.

Just as Qian Guxing was turning around to return to the prison, her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a spirited woman on horseback, escorting a long chain of prisoners.

The reason for calling it a long chain was that the person was holding a thick rope, with one prisoner tied after another at the end of it.

Qian Guxing initially didn’t pay much attention.

Suddenly, noticing the familiar clothing on some of the prisoners, she recalled something, and her face changed dramatically as she quickly went to meet them.

”This lord, these prisoners, they seem, they seem to be... from the Li Family?”

The woman smiled mysteriously and tossed out a token.

”Lock them up well, watch them closely, and don’t ask questions you shouldn’t.”

On the token, the front bore three large characters — Yangshen Hall.

The back, three smaller characters — Zhuo Xueer.

...

Li Family.

Green Demon opened his eyes.

He frowned slightly at the image in the mirror.

The person in the mirror was quite handsome.

So much so that there was an evil charm to it.

This kind of appearance was actually not suitable for a demon in need of infiltration.

However, the human skin prepared by Shu Bird Demon just happened to be this.

Around twenty something years old, with waterfall-like long hair casually draping over the shoulders, dressed in a teal outfit that seemed tailor-made, all the more highlighting the human skin’s handsomeness and wicked charm.

Green Demon still felt a bit unfamiliar with this image; as his body started to move, there was a touch of awkwardness.

Green Demon understood it was because he had used Yue Guang’s skin for a bit too long and had gotten used to it.

Now that he had suddenly changed bodies, he naturally needed some time to adjust.

Indeed, after posing casually in front of the bronze mirror a few times, the discomfort gradually faded and he became familiar and in control of the body.

Without surprise, he would need to stay in this guise while lying low in the Li Mansion for the future plans.

Creak.

It was then that the door was pushed open.

Green Demon turned his head and saw, to his surprise, the Shu Bird Demon, or rather... Li Shiquan.

”How should I address you?”

Green Demon asked calmly.

Li Shiquan smiled.

”You’ve adapted quickly. Now, you need to address me as Second Brother.”

He paused and continued, ”And I shall call you Fifth Brother, or... Li Shidao.”

”You are skilled with the sword, known for your Sword Technique, with a volatile temper, sometimes cold as ice, sometimes fiery as flame, unpredictable.”

”You are the Direct Lineage fifth son of the Li Family, and my biggest rival, sworn enemy, and also the most powerful contender for the next Family Head.”

”The Li Family’s new round of trials has begun.”

”You will encounter many enemies, ambushes, assassination attempts. However... you can also deal with them one by one, devour.”

”I will help you take care of the aftermath.”

”Do you understand?”
