"Do you really want to know this much?"

Qin Fang was a bit surprised, not expecting this old woman to be so obsessed with this question. Despite suffering such severe injuries, nearly losing her life, she still didn't plan to give up. It seemed the answer to this question was really important to her.

As the saying goes, when a person is about to die, their words are kind.

The heart is made of flesh, and looking at the old woman who seemed nearly on the verge of death, Qin Fang felt a slight pang of pity.

He opened his mouth, intending to casually make up an answer so Hua Rumeng could pass away peacefully, but suddenly Qin Fang sensed something was amiss.

"Wait a minute, something's wrong..."

Qin Fang quickly used his scouting skill on this old witch, while his body tensed up instantly.

When the results of the reconnaissance came back, Qin Fang's face turned completely green, barely managing to let out an exclamation before bursting into his fastest speed, dashing madly away.

Almost at the same moment, a gigantic shadow instantly appeared behind Qin Fang, moving along with him and completely blocking Qin Fang's rear.

Bang~~

Although Qin Fang's speed was fast enough, he still couldn't keep up with the change. Just as he was escaping, the old woman exploded like a human bomb…

A terrifying gust blew, and the scattered blood scattered outward rapidly like a cascade of bullets.

Clang clang~~

Qin Fang sprinted madly forward, with the puppet protector guarding him and completely covering his body, though he could faintly hear such sounds coming from it.

Even… something accidentally scraped across his leg, and the burning pain caused his movement technique to slightly freeze.

Fortunately, Qin Fang's endurance was formidable. He gritted his teeth and continued sprinting, gradually leaving the radiation range of the explosion.

Thump thump thump~~

But the sound coming from behind was quite astonishing. The surrounding trees continued making such sounds, and some even had to issue helpless groans before toppling.

The destruction didn't last long, only about a few seconds, but the destructive force was truly terrifying, even leaving Qin Fang himself stunned.

With the old woman Hua Rumeng's body as the center, within a five-meter radius, it looked as if a bomb had exploded; there wasn't a single intact tree left. They all broke halfway, and even the ones that narrowly escaped were covered in small holes.

And the force causing this destruction wasn't a bomb, but human blood…

Quite specifically, it was the blood of Hua Rumeng.

No trace of Hua Rumeng's body could be found at this moment, already scattered into tiny fragments from the explosion, not even a hint of bone residue remained.

On the ground, the hard stones were blasted by the blood drops into deep pits, penetrating into the depths of the rock.

Some smaller stones were directly smashed to pieces by the blood droplets… The splashes left deep scratches on the hard stones.

"Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique…"

Staring at this scene, Qin Fang was quite speechless. He truly didn't expect that the old woman Hua Rumeng was so decisive, choosing neither surrender nor begging for mercy, nor even dying bravely. She directly used the secret technique, Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique of the Demon Sect.

This is a suicide attack, a very unique secret technique, and also a survival technique for the Demon Sect masters…

Unfortunately, Hua Rumeng didn't seem to plan to escape but directly chose the most straightforward, clean self-detonation, which naturally resulted in the strongest power of the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique.

The Heavenly Demon Dismantling can bring a sudden surge of strength, but it greatly damages the body. Unless absolutely necessary, it shouldn't be used casually.

Some Demon Sect masters even lost one or two tiers of strength after using the Heavenly Demon Dismantling, unable even to recover their previous cultivation.

The deadliest aspect of the Heavenly Demon Dismantling is the self-detonation: the burst strength can double, even several times over.

Hua Rumeng was a Grandmaster Mid-Stage expert. Despite her old age and weakened vitality, under the self-detonation of the Heavenly Demon Dismantling, the power she unleashed was definitely comparable to a desperate strike of a Grandmaster Level Late-Stage master.

Although Qin Fang's strength was quite good and he was very close to the grandmaster level, he was still far off from a late-stage grandmaster expert.

If he had taken just a slight hit just now, his life might have ended immediately.

Thinking about this, Qin Fang couldn't help but glance at his leg, which was only slightly grazed by the explosive blood droplets. It was now blackened, as if grazed by a bullet, and the pain was quite unbearable.

Thanks to Qin Fang's unique physique, such a graze, although it cost him a few Life Points, did not cause any substantial harm to him.

This little wound was gradually healing as Qin Fang's Life Points were replenished, leaving only the pain to testify that he had been injured there just now.

"That old witch is indeed vicious beyond measure..."

Even at this moment, Qin Fang couldn't help but mutter, expressing his admiration and helplessness toward Hua Rumeng's decisiveness.

The puppet person stood by Qin Fang's side. Qin Fang glanced at it earlier and noticed some red marks on its back, but there was no real damage; everything was still intact.

The North Sea Purple Copper was indeed a top-grade meteoric iron that even divine weapons could not cut, and the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique couldn't affect it either.

Of course, this was also because the puppet person was so exquisitely made; if it were made of other materials, it might not have withstood the horrifying self-destruction of the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique.

With the puppet person's existence, Qin Fang managed to escape Hua Rumeng's explosive self-destruction. Qin Fang's Snow Traversing Step was indeed swift, but it was still far behind the self-destruction of the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Technique.

If not for the puppet person shielding Qin Fang, he would have been pierced like a sieve by those blood droplets...

One blood droplet wasn't fearsome, at most costing Qin Fang just over ten Life Points, but there were so many droplets, and Qin Fang counted over a dozen blood spots on the puppet person.

If these blood droplets had not landed on the puppet person but on Qin Fang, his Life Points would have been forced to zero, genuinely dead beyond doubt.

Hua Rumeng had self-destructed, intending to drag Qin Fang into death, trying to take him down with her.

The idea was excellent, yet her plans fell short, not knowing Qin Fang had such a divine weapon as the puppet person.

Ordinary objects couldn't stop the blood droplets from Heavenly Demon Dismantling self-destruction because, in that instant, the speed and strength of the exploding blood droplets reached a terrifying extreme, and ordinary objects just couldn't withstand it.

You could understand this by looking at the hard stones on the ground and those poor trees... Unfortunately, the puppet person was made of meteoric iron, whose hardness was incalculable, and it was manufactured by the Artisan God Luban, a human killing tool. How could it be easily destroyed?

"Ah, my luck wasn't too bad..."

At this moment, Qin Fang barely survived, feeling somewhat fortunate, having suffered only minor injuries.

But at least Qin Fang had taken down a grandmaster-level expert, and the experience points alone...

"Wait... Hua Rumeng's body..."

Thinking about the experience points, Qin Fang's face turned grim because Hua Rumeng's body had completely disintegrated, not leaving a trace.

No body, which meant nothing had dropped. Qin Fang searched around but found only ruins like debris and not a single useful thing. The items Hua Rumeng dropped had vanished without a trace!

"Damn it, such a loss..."

This discovery made Qin Fang curse, realizing that after all the effort, he hadn't gained anything aside from not insignificant experience points.

He didn't get to learn about Baihua Tea House's secret from Hua Rumeng, nor did he acquire any rare items she might have dropped...

All Qin Fang's prior calculations essentially went down the drain at this point, no wonder he reacted this way.

"Right, at least I got a Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill, so not all is lost..."

Turning his mind around, Qin Fang slightly moved his wrist, and that Jade Vial was in his hand. He took out the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill inside and threw the vial aside.

This was an incredibly precious elixir that could revive the dead and regenerate flesh. Although its effect couldn't compare to the Great Rejuvenation Pill of Shaolin Temple, it was probably not far off.

With this elixir as a reserve, essentially as long as it wasn't an instant fatal wound, this Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill could save a life.

And as long Qin Fang's life was preserved, given his unique physique, it meant he couldn't truly die...

"Too bad I couldn't get the alchemical formula..."

Of course, Qin Fang felt a bit regretful as this Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill, although acquired, did not come with its alchemical formula. Otherwise, Qin Fang might have been able to concoct more of the Hundred Flowers Jade Dew Pill himself...
