Online: I Can See Health Bars-Chapter 1186 - 521: Formation Negotiation (2)

Roar!!!!

Responding to Ding Hui was the beastly roar of the female Bloodman.

But even though she suddenly turned into a Bloodman, the woman initially only had the strength of an ordinary person, with limited enhancement, making her insignificant before Ding Hui.

However, this method that can directly affect ordinary people could be a terrifying ability if used in large-scale warfare.

Ding Hui thought this, but after exchanging several blows and hearing the female Bloodman’s increasingly coarse and wild roar, Ding Hui started to realize something was wrong.

She’s getting stronger!

The body, which originally rejected the absorption of surrounding spiritual elements, once again opened itself to absorbing these elements due to surging emotions!

Bam!!!

The female Bloodman punched fiercely; even though Ding Hui blocked it, she slid several meters away, shaking her Ice Crystal hand to dispel the lingering force from the enemy’s attack.

Roar!!!

The female Bloodman howled to the sky, continually intensifying her strength, yet Ding Hui was already feeling overwhelmed.

Quickly assessing the situation, without hesitation, Ding Hui turned around and fled!

But after only two steps, the oppressive feeling behind her suddenly escalated!

So fast!

No!

I’ve gotten slower!

My current power can’t even reach the normal state it should have.

"Is it because of that earlier..."

That continuous feeling of something being extracted from her body persists, only her body gradually adapting and becoming numb.

Realizing her strength was declining and her state was deteriorating, Ding Hui gritted her teeth, turned around promptly, ready to fight desperately!

Just at this moment...

Bam!!!

A man wearing Hai Family clothing suddenly appeared before her, delivering a punch to the incoming female Bloodman’s head, immediately knocking her to the ground, lifeless.

Diao Deyi?!

Ding Hui instinctively wanted to shout out, but immediately realized it was incorrect.

The aura was off.

At this point, the man had already turned, facing Ding Hui as he clasped his fists in greeting.

"Miss Ding, I’ve been ordered by the Family Head to ensure your safe return to the Hai Family."

It turned out to be a guard sent by the Hai Family.

Ding Hui understood, and her excited emotions swiftly calmed down.

In the guard’s puzzled expression, Ding Hui walked directly toward the female Bloodman’s corpse, inserting her hand into her head, probing with cold air emanating from her hand, soon reaping results.

"The particles formed are slightly larger than those of ordinary Bloodmen, quite good, a promising lead."

"I was previously puzzled why not everyone in Sunset City transformed into Bloodmen, and why Qingling Taoist acted compassionately. Now it seems transforming into a Bloodman has conditions."

"The higher the mental intensity, the more it aligns with transformation criteria..."

"And extreme emotional fluctuations are also key to stimulating the gathering of spiritual elements. Unfortunately, I realized too late; otherwise, I could have planned ahead and potentially had a huge harvest..."

The Hai Family Guard was somewhat frustrated.

Normally, with such a slick rescue, any girl would worship him, but Miss Ding seemed uninterested in him, being much more interested in the corpse.

A peculiar woman.

However, she was a married woman, so the Hai Family Guard didn’t dare entertain any ideas, and simply lowered his head respectfully.

"Miss Ding, this place is dangerous, please come back to the Hai Family hastily with me."

By now, Ding Hui had extracted Spiritual Particles from the female Bloodman’s head; as for returning to the Hai Family? That’s impossible.

"The Hai Family is considerate indeed."

Ding Hui didn’t like owing favors, thinking briefly, she instructed the Hai Family Guard.

"If the Hai Family can solve the current Bloodman chaos in Sunset City, its reputation will soar, correct?"

The Hai Family Guard was puzzled, not understanding why Ding Hui mentioned this suddenly, though it seemed obvious. Solving a city-wide crisis would naturally boost the Hai Family’s prestige, even garnering public favor.

Hesitating briefly, the Hai Family Guard nodded.

"Of course."

Ding Hui continued, "What if I say I can help the Hai Family solve this trouble, would you believe me?"

In this matter, the Hai Family Guard felt he couldn’t make decisions.

Normally, someone at the level of Coach Ma or an Elder would handle such critical affairs.

But now, he was like being forced into the role.

"Miss Ding, have you discovered something?"

"Naturally, yes, I’ve discovered the core of the Bloodman chaos actually lies within the arrays. This widespread spiritual element pollution couldn’t affect the entire city without array assistance. So stopping the arrays or sabotaging them should end the Bloodman chaos."

Ah, I see.

The Hai Family Guard pondered.

"In that case, I fear I must visit Lord Sheng Yuan."

Ding Hui was present at the city walls before, naturally heard of Sheng Yuan, presumably an Array Master.

Immediately, she waved her hand.

"Go ahead, I’ll continue here..."

"Miss Ding should go with me."

Ding Hui frowned.

"Why?"

"Because I’m tasked with protecting you, but if I go to Lord Sheng Yuan, I can’t protect you there. So it’s best for Miss Ding to accompany me, especially since you mentioned arrays could resolve the Bloodman chaos, and I don’t know how to solve it, requiring you to explain to Lord Sheng Yuan."

"..."

Ding Hui felt somewhat displeased.

However, when the Hai Family Guard mentioned clearing Bloodmen while traveling, Ding Hui instantly agreed, with the sole condition that she would plan the route.

Simply put, wherever there were large numbers of Bloodmen, Ding Hui wanted to head there, attempting to eliminate as many Bloodmen as possible.

The Hai Family Guard naturally had no objections.

Without the Family Head’s orders, he too would be fighting at the front lines, clearing Bloodmen within the city.

The Bloodmen’s strength varied, like the one he dealt with just now, exceptionally weak, while others transformed from Martial Artists were terrifyingly strong, even he felt pressure from them.

Following Ding Hui’s route, the journey promised some risk.

But the Hai Family Guard feared no challenges, being the Deputy Captain of the Hai Family Guard Team Three, he couldn’t afford to lose face before guests.

The duo embarked on their journey, surprisingly safe and sound along the way. However, upon finally arriving at Lord Sheng Yuan’s location, the results stunned both of them.

"The array cannot stop, nor can it be modified in any way!"

Sheng Yuan blew his beard, glared, standing vigorously in front of the array eye.

"Why?" Ding Hui frowned, "Did I not explain clearly enough? Although my understanding of arrays is limited, the solution and direction should be undeniably correct."

"It’s not about that!"

Old Sheng Yuan angrily glared at Ding Hui.

"You’re considered a Martial Artist, right? Haven’t you felt your power gradually being extracted by something?"

Ding Hui was shocked inside.

"Wait, could it be..."

"Exactly! Your power, and all the remaining power of Sunset City’s residents, is currently gathering towards the Family Head! To fight the Monster, the only way is becoming the Monster!"

Ding Hui’s expression had turned somber, slowly clenching her fists.

She had felt it vaguely, now essentially confirmed.

"Lord Hai Lin is absorbing the Power of Life from everyone in Sunset City!"

Sheng Yuan retorted, "Human lifespans are remarkably long! Extracting a few decade’s life from one as a crime, extracting a few seconds, a few dozen second’s life from a million, what does it matter? Without the Family Head, who can withstand the Monster? You? Or you? Only the Family Head! Only Lord Hai Lin can turn the tide against the Monster!!"

Madness.

It could only be described as madness.

Yet simultaneously, Ding Hui felt an infinite intrigue rising.

"How is it done? Teach me!"

Sheng Yuan:...

Sheng Yuan, preparing a passionate speech, was suddenly tongue-tied.

Anyone else would have a different reaction...

Old Sheng Yuan suspiciously stared at Ding Hui, then asked.

"You’re not going to ask me to stop the array?"

Ding Hui shrugged, "Would you stop if I said so?"

"No."

"There you have it, rather than waste time, teach me how it’s done, maybe I’ll have a chance to apply what I learn."
