Fang Yu was about to nod...

Boom!!!

Something heavy crashed to the ground, causing a thunderous roar that resonated from not far away.

"Lord Blood Demon, the noise came from over there!" Bie Huzi approached and whispered.

"Diao... Blood Demon, the people from the Underworld haven't arrived yet. Aren't we being a bit hasty to report our combat location to them? What if they betray us?" Che Linfang had been grappling with this issue all the way here and was still troubled, completely off her game.

"Lord, shall I go and take a look?" Green Smoke Colored Snake Demon asked in a low voice.

Fang Yu thought for a moment and then waved his hand.

"I'll go take a look. Che Linfang and Zhang Xiaoli's squad will accompany me, while the rest of you go in and back up the Dual-Colored Ink Demon and the others."

"Lord, with the scale of the Underworld's forces, it must mean Thousand Households has already attacked, you..." Green Smoke Colored Snake Demon wanted to say something else but, seeing the look Fang Yu gave him, lowered his voice.

Thinking that the distance was not too far and that if anything happened, they could rush to support in time, he bit the bullet and led his forces towards Long Paint Hall.

Meanwhile, Fang Yu, leading Che Linfang, Zhang Xiaoli, and some Little Demons, arrived at the source of the noise.

And then, they saw the headless corpse of a demon.

But Fang Yu recognized it.

"It's the body of the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon!"

His face gradually darkened.

"The body of Lord Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon?!" Che Linfang covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock.

Zhang Xiaoli seemed a bit lost, following closely beside Che Linfang.

Drip-drop.

At this moment,

A drop of blood fell on Fang Yu's nose.

He slowly raised his head to look upwards, just in time to see a silhouette flipping back onto the rooftop.

Che Linfang also saw it, her eyes widening as if she wanted to say something, but then she saw Fang Yu leaping into the air, seemingly slapping something onto his face.

"Che Linfang, notify them, Thousand Households is here with me!"

"Yes, yes!!"

Che Linfang had the sense to recognize her limitations.

In terms of strength, she was even weaker than her underlings; rather than overreaching, it was better to immediately ask others for help.

Leading the team quickly towards Long Paint Hall, she happened to see a crowd bursting out of the door.

Upon seeing Che Linfang's team of demons, they immediately charged towards them.

Che Linfang, not one to be polite, waved her hand, signaling her team to counterattack.

But as the opposing forces approached, Che Linfang suddenly heard a surprised shout.

"Che... Linfang??"

Who?!

Che Linfang was startled and frowned tightly, looking towards the source of the voice.

In the next instant, she recognized the person.

To remain undercover, one must have a good memory.

The one who called out her name was unmistakably Biao Zhengzhi.

Diao Deyi had once sent him to summon her; she remembered he seemed to be... under Households Commander Liu.

Understood, the person above is Households Commander Liu!

"No survivors!"

Leaving behind this deadly order, Che Linfang stepped forward, and the Underworld's forces that tried to attack her were all intercepted and killed by the surrounding demons.

At this moment, how could Biao Zhengzhi not understand that something was off with Che Linfang? With an angry roar, he bellowed and charged towards her.

"You remember you are under Inspector Diao! Inspector Diao trusts you so much! The Underworld has nurtured you so much, yet you turned out to be a... demon!!"

Amidst his roaring, the mere Ten Households Biao Zhengzhi surprisingly fierce, eventually pressed forward and almost reached Che Linfang, but...

Boom!!!

A mist of blood burst forth from the girl who had been by Che Linfang's side.

Zhang Xiaoli unleashed her true demon form!

Bang!!

With just one palm strike.

Biao Zhengzhi was sent flying, vomiting blood, his fate unknown.

"Eat that guy's corpse."

Leaving behind these words, Zhang Xiaoli followed behind Che Linfang to enter Long Paint Hall.

...

Atop the high-rise.

"You two seem to be enjoying the killing."

The left foot was planted on the blade of Households Commander Liu's longsword.

The right foot was planted on the blade of Su Qianhu's longsword.

Fang Yu stood atop their swords, light as a paper drawing.

[Liu Shangfeng: 1030/1155.]

[Su Shuangxi: 997/1089.]

And his health was...

[Health: 27108/27108.]

There was a kind of... beauty in numbers.

The corners of Fang Yu's mouth rose slightly, and he grinned, laughing.

Meanwhile, Households Commander Liu and Su Qianhu had finally reacted.

"Who is this? Skulking around with a bull-headed mask!"

Su Qianhu drew his sword to strike, but hacked at nothing but air.

His sword was fast and rarely missed, but this time it seemed he had miscalculated.

To have one's treasure sword stepped on was a humiliation.

The single eye of Su Qianhu turned red with rage as he glared at the newcomer, but then he heard whisperings from Households Commander Liu.

"So... Red Bull of the Bonfire Gathering is actually an insider from You Mansion!"

No sooner had he spoken, than the Three Demons, including the Dual-Colored Ink Demon, realized it too.

Long Poem Canvas Demon and Ghost Fire Demon didn't know the identity of the newcomer, but the Dual-Colored Ink Demon exclaimed excitedly.

"Lord Blood Demon!"

As soon as the words fell.

"What?!!"

Long Poem Canvas Demon and Ghost Fire Demon's eyes instantly widened stupendously, both turning to stare at Fang Yu who stood before the Three Demons, showing only his back.

This person, could it be... the Blood Demon, the most powerful tail among demons?!!

What?!!

Su Qianhu and Households Commander Liu also contracted their pupils simultaneously, instinctively glancing at each other.

He... He's the Blood Demon??

Red Bull, one of the top ten high-ranking members of the Bonfire Gathering, turns out to be our liaison, the Blood Demon!

Today... we're all going to die at his hands!

Both commanders, having risen from the lower ranks, quickly suppressed their emotions, but their gazes couldn't help firmly locking onto Fang Yu.

"Blood Demon... or should I say Red Bull, just who is he?"

"He wears a Token at his waist, which suggests his position might be that of a Third Hall inspector."

"Each hall has three teams; a team is divided into five deputies and ten standbys. Each team leader, deputy captain, and standby deputy have varying numbers of inspectors under them; it would truly be difficult to investigate the exact number."

"And there's also a possibility that this inspector's Token was taken from a dead person, meant to be a feint, to deceive and distract."

"No, why think about investigating when it's time for the final dance? After today, the Liu Family can enjoy wealth and honor, safety and security forever! All those filthy deals can finally be whitewashed..."

"Father, I've done it, I have not shamed the Liu Family, just one more step to go!"

Suppressing his thoughts, Households Commander Liu gripped the sword in his hand tightly.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw the Blood Demon suddenly extend a hand and motioned invitingly.

"You two, shall we go together?"

Together?

No sooner had he said this than Households Commander Liu and Su Qianhu hadn't quite reacted.

But the Three Demons, including the Dual-Colored Ink Demon behind, were the first to get anxious.

"Lord Blood Demon, you mustn't! Those two are Commanders, their strength is extraordinary, not just any common commanders. They are amongst the top in power!"

"Lord Blood Demon, have you gone mad? Both of them are at the monster level, don't provoke them!"

"What an indecorous victory! If you have guts, have a one-on-one duel with our Lord Blood Demon!"

The three demons clamored without any decorum, making Fang Yu feel somewhat embarrassed.

And just then.

Households Commander Liu moved.

He wasn't provoked by Fang Yu; he just wanted his final dance to be magnificent, a grand curtain call, to put on a good show.

At least, to display all he had learned in his lifetime before embracing a gallant death!

It was still the same sword.

But the hand holding the sword was trembling, trembling with high frequency!

It wasn't trembling from fear or terror, but from the realm of 'Qi.'

He was, manipulating Qi.

The pattern and flow of Qi around his body were undergoing subtle changes!

If it had been earlier, Fang Yu would never have seen it.

But after learning the Spring Bud Skill, Fang Yu could barely make some sense of it.

The Qi around Households Commander Liu had become dense and fine, and just as Fang Yu felt he might perceive something...

"Hundred Slashes!"
