Only when Fa Xiao’s support came did she barely seize the opportunity and abruptly retreat a distance.

But Situ Yue understood.

She couldn’t escape.

She could not escape the grasp of this Monk’s palm!!

Confused! Unable to comprehend! Unreasonable!

That completely unpredictable attack style, that almost impossible to capture Infinite Body Technique, and that utterly unstoppable terrifying power!

Is this... is this!! Is this a Believer!!!

The mighty demon’s hand clenched into a fist, Situ Yue’s whole body trembled.

"Why... why didn’t you report this guy being in the Forest Snake Gang!!"

Situ Yue opened her massive mouth in a frenzy to roar at Fa Xiao.

Her mouthful of saliva splashed out, spraying onto Fa Xiao, the gigantic abyssal maw almost bigger than a human made Fa Xiao’s back shiver.

It wasn’t that he was stronger than Situ Yue, but the Monk, the Monk across from them, seemed to be holding back against him!

Otherwise, given their gap in strength, he would have been long dead!!

"Amitabha."

Monk Quan Heng, floating in mid-air, joined his palms again.

"This master must have been bewitched by demons to commit such a grave mistake. As long as the master returns to the right path, I will testify for you before Diao Inspector, ensuring your safety."

Those eyes were so clear and sincere that Fa Xiao nearly doubted he was being deceived.

But the next moment, he instantly realized.

What deception! What demons! None of it matters!

No matter why Situ Yue transformed into a demon, his goal would not change!

He wants to reclaim the Forest Snake Gang!

And Situ Yue is merely a tool to reclaim the Forest Snake Gang, whether human or demon doesn’t matter! As long as she’s useful!

"Flattery! Foul Monk, I am the true Boss of the Forest Snake Gang, Fa Xiao, and the one currently controlling it is an impostor! I was framed back then and forced to flee the Forest Snake Gang, now I’ve regained my strength and will personally reclaim my gang! This is an internal matter of the Forest Snake Gang and has nothing to do with you, foul Monk!"

Fa Xiao loudly shouted, trying to seize the initiative!

The effect, was definitely there.

The Monk appeared to ponder slightly, and then spoke: "In that case, Master Fa, you are free to come and go, little monk will not stop you. But if you wish to step into this room for even half a step, don’t blame little monk for being unkind."

Monk Quan Heng spoke very politely, even methodically.

But Fa Xiao’s face instantly darkened.

At this moment, he clearly understood the situation.

So the Monk was the helper invited by that mysterious Guest Elder!

No wonder he suddenly appeared at the entrance the moment he stepped into this courtyard.

Should he confront this peculiar Monk, or give up the idea of holding hostages and instead go head-to-head with that mysterious Guest Elder?

This thought quickly revolved in Fa Xiao’s mind, instantly yielding an answer.

Having personally experienced the Monk’s strength.

Even the demon-bodied Situ Yue was beaten to retreat miserably, screaming successive cries, utterly powerless to resist, then even with himself, there was no chance of victory.

One was clear power, the other was an unknown possibility.

Fa Xiao naturally decided to bet on the latter!

"Let’s go!"

He whispered to the massive demon beside him!

At this point, he didn’t care whether he distanced himself from the demon or any other issues.

First, accomplish tonight’s matters, everything else can be discussed later! As long as Situ Yue is still obedient, as long as Situ Yue can still act, then use her!

Hearing Fa Xiao’s words, Situ Yue wished with all eight legs to crawl madly!

But she couldn’t.

Because it’s not that she didn’t want to leave, she simply couldn’t!

That invisible, tangible-like terrifying intimidation firmly locked onto her!

If she dared to make any move, that Monk’s horror would immediately strike in the next second! Having hardly gotten a moment’s reprieve, Situ Yue didn’t want to waste it.

"Situ Yue?" Fa Xiao saw the unresponsive demon beside him, bewildered, looked at the demon, only to find her staring fixedly at the monk in front, completely ignoring him.

"A wise man doesn’t eat a loss before his eyes! Let’s leave first! Once I seize the Forest Snake Gang, I promise you, I will help you regain your dignity!"

Fa Xiao thought it was Situ Yue herself unwilling to leave, he whispered softly, entirely oblivious to the fact that the entire scene was actually under the control of the Monk.

"Amitabha, if the master wishes to leave, you may leave anytime, but this demon must not. Had I not seen, the demon would wreak havoc, I would feign ignorance. But since I have seen, then I must seek peace for the citizens of Thunder City."

Fa Xiao’s face darkened.

So, he wants to take care of Situ Yue!

Although the Monk seemed to suggest that I could leave, without Situ Yue’s combat power, I felt uncertain about facing that mysterious Guest Elder.

"Stupid Monk! I didn’t eat anyone!"

Situ Yue roared loudly, but the foul stench from her blood-red mouth made her claim unconvincing.

Maybe she hadn’t eaten anyone tonight, but in the past she surely has.

"Master."

Monk Quan Heng cast his gaze towards Fa Xiao and uttered only three words.

"Night has fallen."

Withdraw!

Fa Xiao abandoned Situ Yue and swiftly retreated!

"Fa Xiao?!"

Situ Yue shouted his name in anger, but deep down, she was panicking.

Previously, the Monk nearly killed her several times, but Fa Xiao risked himself to protect her and restrain the Monk, allowing her to survive until now.

Now, with Fa Xiao gone, the Monk held nothing back, and she stood no chance against him!

"Silence! How dare you demon call me by name! I am Fa Xiao, Boss of Sen Snake Gang! Tricked by you to oppose the master, deceitful demon lurking by my side, with malicious intent! If not for the master’s intervention, I would have met my end long ago! Amitabha! Thank you, master, for saving my life. I, Fa Xiao, will surely visit another day to express my gratitude!"

As Fa Xiao retreated, he loudly distanced himself from her!

When you’re useful, you’re my sweet little beauty, Lady Situ; when you’re not, you’re just a demon! A demon is a demon! Not of our race, their hearts must be condemned!!

"Amitabha, indeed it is good that the master repents, well... well..."

Monk Quan Heng was speaking, but suddenly he seemed to sense something, and his face changed drastically.

"Wait!"

Buzz!!!

A golden beam suddenly illuminated the night, shining brilliantly.

Fa Xiao was still retreating, but his head suddenly detached from his body and rolled away.

What... happened?

Fa Xiao didn’t even comprehend what transpired as everything ended, and his vision descended into darkness.

[Fa Xiao: 0/5108.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations, Player killed [Fa Xiao], gaining 5 experience points.]

[System Prompt: Detected [Fa Xiao] as a human, [Green Demon Blood] bloodline ability activated.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations, Player’s maximum life value increased by 5108 points.]

[System Prompt: Human race betrayal, resentment gathers as evil Qi, entwined with one’s body.]

As the life value directly broke through the ninety-thousand mark, the evil Qi soared upward.

The dense evil Qi instantly caught Situ Yue’s attention.

Such fragrance!? Such fragrance!!!!

What is this fragrance! What is this fragrance!!!

A greed almost ingrained in her instincts, uncontrollable, drove her to rush towards Fang Yu without a second thought!

Consume him! Just consume him! That Monk is but a trifle!!!

With barely a thought, all she envisioned was the delight of consuming him.

"Sigh..."

High in the sky, Monk Quan Heng slowly descended, closed his eyes, and chanted Buddhist scriptures.

As if chanting for the deceased Fa Xiao, or perhaps... chanting for the demon about to die!

"Such fragrance!!!!"

The demon surged forward, saliva gushed out like water from a waterfall, but its thick texture and rancid smell only made one feel nauseous.

The demon was clearly close now!

The bloodthirsty mouth was about to swallow Fang Yu!

But Fang Yu did not dodge, did not even spare it a glance.

Because...

"Come on, you’re quite weak."

[Eight-Toed Maw Serpent: 13351/51316.]

Facing the wounded Great Demon, Fang Yu responded with only two words.

"Armor, transform!!!"

Boom!!!

At the moment the Eight-Toed Maw Serpent’s mouth was about to bite down, a fearsome aura burst forth into the sky!!
