At the scene, everyone was shocked.

"Demon, demon?!"

"How could it be?!"

"It really is her!"

"When! Exactly when was the switch made!"

But at this moment...

Boom!!!

The intense battle lasted only a moment, and the wall next to the bed was suddenly smashed open by the demon!

Amidst flying bricks, two shadows burst through the hole in the wall and rushed out of the room!

"Young Master Diao, I’m here to help you!"

Qiu Xiaoping’s figure flashed, leaving the bewildered and helpless Qin Er, also rushing out of the room!

"Follow! Follow! Assist Mr. Diao!"

Fa Hongwen stomped his foot and cursed.

The subordinates of Master Tai around him realized and yelled as they charged out.

Lady Tai transformed into a demon in front of them; the situation no longer required any explanation, and they could guess the gist.

Everyone wanted to avenge Master Tai, eager to kill the demon quickly.

But when they followed through the hole in the wall and rushed out of the room, they discovered the sound of the fight had already spread far away. If they didn’t hurry, they wouldn’t even catch the tailwind.

"Avenge Master Tai!"

"Bold demon, the Forest Snake Gang is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

"Demon, leave your life here to honor the heavenly spirit of Lord Tai!"

The subordinates may be ignorant, but their loyalty to Tai Xuelin was unwavering.

Now the enemy was right in front of them; they charged forward, wishing to kill the demon Lady Tai had transformed into and tear her apart quickly!

Once everyone left, along with the maids who had fled at the scene of the demon, the room suddenly became quiet, leaving only Xiong Rudong, Qin Er, and Ding Hui.

Qin Er was at a loss, looking down at her toes, not knowing where to go.

But Xiong Rudong, honest and simple, stayed loyally by Ding Hui’s side to keep her safe, despite others chasing the demon.

However, at this moment, Ding Hui took step after step, walking toward Qin Er.

Standing in front of Qin Er, waiting for her to lift her confused gaze to Ding Hui...

Smack!

A slap suddenly landed on Qin Er’s face.

The terrifying power made Qin Er stagger, almost unable to stand.

Covering her swollen cheek, disregarding the bleeding corner of her mouth, Qin Er looked at Ding Hui with both fear and tension.

She, she knows martial arts?!

Qin Er always thought Ding Hui was just a doctor, who would have thought Ding Hui not only had medical skills but was also a formidable Martial Artist!

With her mortal body, to take this blow and survive was inconceivable.

After all, any Martial Artist could crush her as easily as squashing an ant on the roadside.

Qin Er trembled, not daring to fight back, not daring to ask, only silently bowing her head, seemingly resigning herself to fate, not daring to resist.

But Ding Hui spoke indifferently at this time.

"My husband, has a pretty good temper. But I, not necessarily."

Qin Er panicked upon hearing this.

Without thinking, she hurried to hide behind Xiong Rudong.

"Big Brother, Big Brother save me!"

The honest Xiong Rudong looked at Qin Er, then at Ding Hui squinting at him, seeming unsure what to do.

Then, Ding Hui ordered.

"Move aside."

Step!

As soon as Ding Hui’s voice fell, Xiong Rudong directly stepped aside, fully exposing Qin Er hiding behind him.

"No...no no no no!"

Qin Er was so terrified she could barely breathe or move.

It was at this time Qin Er realized the value of the scarred man.

The presence of someone willing to risk their life for you at any time and place was crucial.

But it was already too late.

She saw Ding Hui raise her hand, and as the hand lifted to its peak, it emitted a chilling aura, transforming from flesh into sections of Ice Crystal, about to cover her Heavenly Spirit Bone!

No!!!!

Qin Er screamed in terror, but her voice was stuck due to extreme fear, unable to be heard.

Die!

I’m going to die!

I will die!!

Her mind seemed to freeze at this moment, still, crashing!

But just at this instant...

Snap.

A hand suddenly grabbed Ding Hui’s wrist.

The Ice Crystal hand at close range nearly covered all of Qin Er’s sight.

She could see clearly the lines spreading across the palm of the Ice Crystal hand.

The chill emanating from the palm made her brain incredibly alert.

Slowly, slowly, she shifted her gaze slightly away from the palm that almost covered her entire head.

Then she saw who was truly the savior that saved her life at this critical moment.

It turned out to be... Young Master Diao, who she had doubted multiple times before, later exposed Lady Tai’s demon body, and chased after it!

How did he come back so quickly?

Has he already slain that demon? In such a short time...

No, that’s not the point... the point is, he saved me? Saved...

Qin Er’s brain was still turning, her thoughts still moving, but her eyelids couldn’t hold up.

Heavy eyelids closed, and she directly fell to the ground, fainting on the spot.

...

Fang Yu glanced at Liu Qiner, who suddenly lay on the ground unconscious, before refocusing his gaze on Ding Hui.

"What are you doing?"

Ding Hui’s Ice Crystal hand was still held by Fang Yu, but Ding Hui didn’t mind; instead, she smiled cheerfully.

"Helping you teach her a lesson."

"The rebel army members can be taught by that Qiu fellow later, don’t stir up trouble. What if she hides some trick and hurts you?"

Fang Yu released Ding Hui’s Ice Crystal hand, but Ding Hui took the opportunity to hold Fang Yu in reverse, dissolving the Ice Crystal into a soft, cool little hand.

"I thought you wanted me to show mercy, but you’re actually worried about me."

Fang Yu rolled his eyes.

Whether Qin Er dies or not, it’s none of his business.

Just that the rebel army member dying in Ding Hui’s hands, Qiu Xiaoping may not let it go.

The eight thousand blood Hall Master-level battle power is quite terrifying.

If Qiu Xiaoping goes berserk, with Ding Hui’s small frame, Fang Yu would find it hard to both fight the enemy and care for Ding Hui’s safety.

If something goes wrong...

Fang Yu dared not think further, just silently gripped Ding Hui’s cold little hand.

At least, until Monk Quan Heng arrives, it’s best to act low-key and avoid provoking a major enemy.

"By the way, where’s Lady Tai?" Ding Hui suddenly asked.

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing Ding Hui was actually asking about that demon.

"Dead. Qiu Xiaoping and I attacked from both sides, and that guy didn’t hold out long before collapsing."

Given the level of a forty thousand blood demon, managing to last so long before eight thousand blood Qiu Xiaoping and six hundred physique himself does count as an elite demon in some sense.

Unfortunately, the gap in hard strength was too big.

In a one-on-one battle, the guy might still hold on for a while, but when Qiu Xiaoping joins in, the outcome is decided in no time.

Just because they fought together, the forty thousand blood demon provided only a little bit of attribute points, which made Fang Yu quite frustrated.

Ultimately, his call was late.

By the time he shouted for Qiu Xiaoping to step aside, that demon had already taken several hits from Qiu Xiaoping. Even if slain afterward, the experience points had already been divided.

[System Prompt: Congratulations to the player for killing [Heavy Demon], gaining 520 experience points.]

[System Prompt: Experience points breakthrough 100, converted into a total of 5 attribute points.]

Looking at the system record, Fang Yu felt a bit of regret.

But evidently, this demon was not the end, but... the beginning!

Without reason, the Forest Snake Gang wouldn’t suddenly produce a demon.

Without reason, the Hall Master of the Forest Snake Gang wouldn’t suddenly be killed by a lurking demon.

So, behind this, there must be someone plotting something.

The biggest possibility is... the true Gang Leader of the Forest Snake Gang realized Fa Hongwen’s betrayal and started to take action.

But how the guy got involved with demons and why he could command them, Fang Yu seriously couldn’t understand.

Looking at Xiong Rudong, who had been waiting nearby, Fang Yu released Ding Hui and saluted him.

"Master Xiong, thank you for your hard work."
