Online: I Can See Health Bars-Chapter 1210 - 533: Each Their Own Curtain Call (Part 2)
Even undergoing punishment is a different kind of experience!
Two guards were hit by a hand chop, falling to the ground with a thud. The person in night clothes took off his mask, revealing that it was none other than Diao Deyi!
"I’m here to rescue you."
"Good! Good, good, good!"
Taking the cell keys from the guard’s waist, he opened the cell and then unlocked Lei Shenhao’s handcuffs and shackles.
The long-lost freedom and the soreness attacked simultaneously.
Suddenly feeling relaxed, Lei Shenhao almost couldn’t stand steady.
Fang Yu effortlessly picked him up, and it was only then that Lei Shenhao realized Fang Yu’s strength was astonishing.
"Let’s go quickly, I’ve dealt with the gate guards. We must leave the city before they change shifts."
Lifting Lei Shenhao, Fang Yu moved like the wind.
Once they left the Hai Family Prison, Fang Yu tapped his feet on the ground, leaping into the air.
Lei Shenhao could only hear the wind roaring fiercely around him, his ears filled with the sensation one experiences when a train enters a tunnel. Only when they landed momentarily did Lei Shenhao’s situation improve slightly.
Then came another stretch of blurred vision and rapid movement.
Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick!
Being carried by Fang Yu, Lei Shenhao truly felt just how absurdly fast a master could move.
Within a few strides, the city gate was faintly visible.
And he felt like a ragdoll, being vigorously tugged. If not for his sturdy body, he felt this ordeal alone could have taken his life.
"Big, big brother, let’s rest for a moment, rest for a moment!"
"Pursuers could come out at any moment, we can’t stop! We need to rescue you in one go!"
A few more rapid movements, and every time they could slightly make out the surroundings, they were already much closer to the city gate.
After a few times, they had already reached the city gate.
Seeing Fang Yu suddenly land with someone, the guards at the city gate were clearly startled and hastily drew their swords.
But they quickly remembered something, exchanging glances.
"Open the gate!"
This scene left Lei Shenhao a bit dumbfounded.
Seriously, did you really bribe all the city guards, brother, that’s a lot of money!
Lei Shenhao suddenly felt a bit balanced psychologically.
The businesses he gave away weren’t all for Diao Deyi; some of it still benefited him.
Outside the city gate, the night wind howled.
And beyond the gate, there was already a fast horse and a very luxurious carriage equipped, piled with various supplies, one might mistake it for a merchant’s cart.
"Diao Deyi!"
On the large carriage, a woman looked back.
"My wife."
Fang Yu simply introduced her, then put Lei Shenhao down and pointed to the fast horse.
"Run along the official road, just don’t head towards Tianyuan Town. Anywhere else is fine."
After a pause, Fang Yu continued.
"Now, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise, Brother Lei."
Lei Shenhao now showed a complicated expression.
He instantly understood that they had been well-prepared.
Hesitant, he eventually spoke up.
"Are you planning to leave Sunset City?"
"Of course. Since I decided to get you out, there’s no way I can stay in Sunset City."
An emotion surged in Lei Shenhao’s heart.
"You, you, you, hey hey hey! You are quite the brother! So righteous! Alright, alright, I’ll tell you all about the Spirit without an owner!"
That Spirit wasn’t located in the vicinity of Sunset City but was in a much farther place. After being handled by Qingling Taoist, it was hidden in a very secret place.
Because of this, it avoided the information network around Sunset City, allowing Qingling Taoist to completely control every aspect of this Spirit.
"That Spirit is very strong. If Brother Diao wants to go, it’s best to make thorough preparations. Of course, if Brother Diao goes late, I might go first to subdue that Spirit without an owner, hahaha!"
Lei Shenhao mounted the fast horse, laughed heartily, and felt the long-lost sense of freedom, exhilarated!
"Brother Diao, where are you heading next? Should we travel together?"
Fang Yu smiled.
"We are planning to go to Thunder City."
Thunder City...
Lei Shenhao’s smile froze.
"That place... isn’t so peaceful now."
"In this world, nowhere is truly peaceful. The two of us have some matters to attend in Thunder City."
"Such a pity..."
Lei Shenhao sighed.
"I’m planning to take a detour to Rolling Bone Bone City. I’ve made some arrangements there. If things go smoothly, Rolling Bone Bone City might become my territory. If Brother Diao has time, feel free to visit Rolling Bone Bone City, and I’ll personally host you!"
Fang Yu laughed heartily.
"Sounds good!"
"Well then, it’s a long journey in the world, may we meet again!"
With a generous whip to his horse, Lei Shenhao rode off along the main road.
He had his own plan.
Since arranging to be rescued from Sunset City, he had constantly been contacting various experts to come and protect him.
The most difficult aspect of all the issues lay in the first step: how to rescue him from the fortified Hai Family Prison.
Once he’s out and left Sunset City, everything else would be easier to arrange.
Various experts would join him halfway, and Lei Shenhao would continuously raise the stakes to enlist more experts into the escort team, ensuring his safe passage to Rolling Bone Bone City!
In fact, Lei Shenhao could certainly travel alongside Fang Yu for a distance, but having such a monster-level expert nearby was psychologically stressful for him.
Faced with someone who could crush him like an insect, Lei Shenhao preferred to rely on the players who were driven by money.
Moreover, he had arranged with Fang Yu beforehand, so if everything went smoothly, the time of rescue could be confirmed, and naturally, he could arrange personnel in advance for support.
Indeed, after a fork in the road, a group of people and horses approached from not far away, proudly revealing the player squad he hired had arrived!
"Next stop, Rolling Bone Bone City!"
I’ve heard there’s a special type of carrot there that Believers eat for a great nutritional boost!
...
"Ding Hui, what are you daydreaming about?"
Fang Yu sat in the coachman’s seat, looked back at Ding Hui sitting behind him, and asked puzzledly.
"Nothing, I just feel that Lei Qingzi is quite open-minded. He suffered so much at the Hai Family yet didn’t utter any harsh words and just left."
Fang Yu rolled his eyes.
That’s called open-minded? That’s called a quick getaway!
"Don’t worry about him, we probably won’t see him again anyway. Hold on tight, although the unclaimed spirit is off the beaten path, we can make a detour to visit it on the way."
Fang Yu’s next stop was Thunder City, where he would collect the unclaimed spirit along the way.
He’d present a living spirit to Ding Hui for research, believing she could discover more.
Even though the route was planned out, there were some villages along the way to stop by. Although the path might be a bit winding, it’s better than spending days in the wilderness.
"Let’s get moving." Ding Hui urged. "After the battle at Sunset City, the demons either scattered or fled, and there’s hardly any formidable ones left. By the hour, when we’re leaving the vicinity of Sunset City, it’ll be daylight. The main road is safer during the day than at night, and we’ve covered a relatively safe stretch."
A master of time management.
Fang Yu felt extremely confident now, as though he could handle a few demons!
I’d welcome a few more demons to gain some extra experience points, as I’m running short on attribute points anyway.
Fang Yu considered deviating off the main road, but he abandoned this dangerous idea for Ding Hui’s safety.
After all, to reach the place of the unclaimed spirit, they would have to leave the main road, and would naturally encounter demons without intentionally seeking them.
In the darkness, Fang Yu drove the carriage onwards.
Their carriage didn’t have the speed of Lei Shenhao’s fast horse, laden with goods and clumsy like a giant.
Yet, even with bumps and slight shakes, the carriage progressed steadily, giving a sense of safety.
Behind the carriage, on the city wall, someone watched it leave.
"Diao Deyi..."
"I hope we never meet again."
"Yet I hope... we will meet again."
Lord Hai Lin touched the tree-shaped mark on his arm thoughtfully, then downed his waist-hung gourd of wine, wiped his mouth, and turned away.
Sunset City had become his Sunset City.
But without an opponent, Lord Hai Lin felt a hint of loneliness.
Humans, truly despicable creatures.
