Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

The pit is very deep, and we can only see the demon’s head. From this, it seems that Daoist Gu Zhi’s previous attack was quite powerful and focused.

However, the fact that the demon could withstand it without dying, just being trapped, indicates there is a disparity in their power, but not as much as one might think.

Looking again at the demon’s health bar.

[Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon: 25864/26431.]

Fang Yu:...

The disparity isn’t just small, it’s practically negligible.

At a glance, it seems as though Daoist Gu Zhi is overwhelmingly suppressing the demon, rendering it immobile.

But in reality, the demon’s loss of blood volume is minimal; it can only be said that Daoist Gu Zhi’s tactics successfully trapped the demon.

Watching the soil of the pit rise and fall in tremors, Fang Yu could see that the Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon still had room to struggle.

Indeed!

When Fang Yu noticed something.

Boom!!!

The ground suddenly erupted like a sand waterfall!

The sandy earth sprayed high, forming a thin curtain of sand, while behind the curtain, a giant figure soared into the sky!

Then came Daoist Gu Zhi’s fierce shout!

”How dare you! A mere little demon dares!”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Yu saw Daoist Gu Zhi strike out with a palm across the air!

Before the figure of the Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon could even touch Daoist Gu Zhi, a row of Qi waves suddenly exploded in mid-air!

Like a palm breaking through clouds, it blasted open a huge gap in the curtain of sand, forcefully striking the demon’s figure down!

Only then did Fang Yu finally see the full form of the Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon.

It was made of rectangular gray-blue stones, stacked like interlocking layers to form a long pillar-like demon, in some sense resembling a stone snake.

Each stone was large, about four to five meters long and wide, and with nine stones stacked up, Fang Yu felt as if this was just a bunch of stones assembled into something animate.

”Roar!!!”

Hit mid-air, the body of the Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon exploded with fragments of stone, raining down like droplets, and its massive body plummeted heavily towards the ground!

Wait!

This position, this direction...

Fang Yu’s heart stirred, and Quan Yingnan stepped forward, drawing his sword and shielding Fang Yu behind him.

”Milord, be careful!”

On the other side, Mao Xiahuan’s mouth was slightly open, seemingly dazed, but actually just a beat slow to react.

After all, Quan Yingnan possessed combat strength close to three thousand blood volume, while Mao Xiahuan barely reached a thousand, the disparity being quite apparent.

The other guards rushed forward, but due to the position and slight distance, they were a beat late, and the descending shadow of the Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon was already enveloping the entire group, including Fang Yu.

As the view darkened, Fang Yu remained calm, because... someone acted even faster than them, even faster than Quan Yingnan!

”Get lost!!”

Buzz!!!

A cold shout!

A sword light suddenly flashed upward like a line to the sky!

Bang.

A crisp, even faint cracking sound emanated from the Nine-section Stone body of the demon.

Like a sharp kitchen knife slicing through tofu effortlessly.

In an instant, just an instant, the body of the Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon was cut into two!

What a fast sword!

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The demon, now severed into two parts, let out a series of wails as its remaining body crashed towards both sides, somehow still not quite dead.

But by now, the demon’s threat had already extended to Fang Yu’s side and the area of the person who had just struck, so that person did not pursue.

However, from the forces on both sides, two loud shouts erupted almost simultaneously.

”Hah!!”

”Ha!”

Then came two explosions, and the remaining body of the Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon was knocked aside and fell back into the wild!

Unlike the person who struck earlier with a sword, splitting the demon’s tough body in half, the two only knocked aside the stone remnants of the demon and then withdrew.

”Hahaha! My apologies to everyone, a moment of oversight caused all of you some trouble.”

Daoist Gu Zhi laughed as he descended from the sky, dealing the final blow to the now nearly lifeless Nine-layered Rebuilding Demon!

Boom!!

The ground trembled slightly, and this farce came to an end.

But one person, one pair of eyes, was coldly watching Daoist Gu Zhi.

Daoist Gu Zhi naturally felt it; that terrifying sword strike earlier, truth be told, made him somewhat regretful.

This test, this job, is quite tricky.

If not for owing someone a favor, he would never willingly take on something so prone to conflict.

Taoism values harmony.

Already weaker than Buddhism, today’s actions only added another layer of difficulty for Taoist ministry, truly a sin.

As Daoist Gu Zhi pondered, he made a gesture and said.

”This brother, and the two elder brothers, many thanks for your help earlier, otherwise this fiend might have injured many.”

While Daoist Gu Zhi spoke, Fang Yu was already examining the young man who had wielded the sword.

Despite a somewhat boyish face, it exuded a remarkably intense killing intent.

That icy gaze seemed ready to strike Daoist Gu Zhi down at any moment!

Even as an onlooker, Fang Yu could feel it; much more so the Daoist Gu Zhi who bore the brunt of this pressure.

No wonder Daoist Gu Zhi was so polite.

Looking at his health bar...
