What a... heartless woman!

What a terrifying woman!

Even Brother Tian, at this moment, felt waves of fear toward Chen Ya.

In mid-air, Fa Hongwen similarly developed a sense of dread toward this woman.

Only Qiu Xiaoping found this woman increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Her talent, aptitude, and disposition all left Xiao Ping extremely satisfied.

Meanwhile, Chen Ya, who was down below forcefully enduring her injuries, had eyes growing colder and more ruthless.

Her swordsmanship was advancing rapidly in a different direction, silently and effortlessly reaching a breakthrough into a new realm, her strength leaping to a new level!

"Shen Baimei, surrender."

Qiu Xiaoping’s voice rang out, causing the severely injured Shen Heilian to gradually slow her escape footsteps and stop, biting her teeth, ready to face her fate.

Her injuries could no longer support her escape from the Forest Snake Gang.

"Audacious scoundrels, daring to storm the Forest Snake Gang at night, I, a passerby with a sense of justice, cannot ignore it and have infiltrated among you! Did you really think I was on the same side as you?"

Brother Tian suddenly reversed his stance, humorously declaring, pointing his sword at the companions around him, making everyone look at him with strange eyes.

Yet Brother Tian stubbornly stuck to this rhetoric, even though he was soon captured and restrained by the Forest Snake Gang’s people, he continued to speak with righteousness, almost wanting to portray himself as a noble figure irreconcilable with evil.

"Gang Leader Fa, how do you intend to handle these people?"

By this time, Qiu Xiaoping had already landed.

Her image as a master made all the surrounding gang members extremely respectful.

Fa Hongwen looked at the captured people, his face darkening.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"

These were loyal subordinates trained by that guy from the opposing side; he had no intention to spare them.

However, Qiu Xiaoping apparently had another plan.

"Is that so, but there is this Shen family girl and the woman who ’made a great contribution’; I plan to keep them for my use, I wonder if Gang Leader Fa is willing to give me this face?"

Fa Hongwen was taken aback.

Could he utter a word of refusal to Lord Qiu?

His very life was given by Lord Qiu!

If it hadn’t been for Qiu Xiaoping, he would have been dead when Gan Chulan and Old Man Huan led their attack.

Only Gan Chulan, seemingly brainwashed, remained loyal to Fa Xiao, and was executed in a warning by Qiu Xiaoping.

As for Old Man Huan, after being subdued, a few whispers from Qiu Xiaoping’s alerted him to immediately become her subservient, completely switching allegiance.

By the time they arrived to support the Hall Masters, the situation was indeed as Fa Hongwen expected, in extremely poor condition.

However, with Qiu Xiaoping’s presence, everything was smoothly resolved.

As for who Qiu Xiaoping planned to keep, it was all up to her; Fa Hongwen only cared about the Forest Snake Gang.

"L-Lord, me! Me, me, me! I am also willing to pledge my allegiance to you, to serve you with my utmost loyalty!!"

Brother Tian, with his keen ears, heard their conversation and quickly raised his head in excitement and shouted.

But Qiu Xiaoping completely ignored him, even slightly frowned.

This subtle expression nearly frightened Brother Tian to the point of wetting himself.

Afraid that Qiu Xiaoping’s next words would be to have him dragged away and chopped to pieces.

Immediately, he frantically cast a pleading glance at Chen Ya, who just gained favor and was standing beside Qiu Xiaoping.

Stretching out three fingers, implying triple the reward, Chen Ya remained silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons, before gritting her teeth and speaking.

"Lord Qiu, this person is useful to me, please spare his life."

Qiu Xiaoping glanced at Chen Ya, then withdrew her gaze.

"As you wish."

Just two words saved Brother Tian’s life.

While Brother Tian breathed a huge sigh of relief, he also felt the sense of accompanying a ruler like accompanying a tiger.

Will life ever be peaceful again...

Escaping prison, entering the casino, now joining the Forest Snake Gang, becoming a servant to three households...

Fortunately, he still had his life, and a chance to turn things around.

This battle, although with twists and turns, finally came to an end.

Qiu Xiaoping reaped considerable combat power successively.

Huan Miyun.

Though aged, potential still existed, possessing strong power, which could be of significant use, and due to the approaching age, increasingly needed a mission, faith, or the likes to sustain his belief.

The Rebel Army was the greatest belief, the ultimate destiny! Benefiting countless generations, right here and now! Enough to make Huan Miyun dedicate his remaining years, fulfilling his wish of leaving a name in history!

Shen Baimei, now self-proclaimed as Shen Heilian, was once also a prodigious figure in Thunder City, but due to subsequent changes and information lockdown, along with the passage of time, only high-level individuals like those in the Rebel Army were aware of some past matters.

Also...

Qiu Xiaoping looked at Chen Ya.

This woman could be said to be Qiu Xiaoping’s greatest gain from this night.

The potential of this woman excited even her.

Given time, this woman might be qualified to succeed her position, leading the Rebel Army, governing all of Thunder City!

"Lord Qiu, is there really no need to reinforce Mr. Diao’s side..." Fa Hongwen approached and softly inquired.

Only then did Qiu Xiaoping withdraw her gaze from these people, looking into the distance.

"Rest assured, anyone he can handle doesn’t need my help, and those he can’t handle, I can’t manage either. Moreover... that master from Zhongfu Temple isn’t ordinary at all..."

Even Qiu Xiaoping couldn’t quite discern the true strength of that monk, only sensing... dread! Never to be reckoned as an enemy!

Perhaps, that monk’s strength was even above Young Master Diao, and even greater than hers!

"Really don’t know where Young Master Diao met such a monstrous person..."

...

"Aaaaahhhh!!!"

In a heart-wrenching scream, Situ Yue’s demonized body was beaten into continual retreat, her entire body covered in blood.
