Chapter 76: You Have to Go All Out to Save a Man

“Do you think the Mistress will dock our pay if we sneak out to help the young mistress?”
The wolf demon scratched his lower back through his black suit.
“The Mistress said this was a bet between her and that Daoist.
Aren’t we cheating?”

“Idiot! Sister Qi is turning a blind eye.
This must be the Mistress’s tacit approval.”
The tiger demon slapped him on the back of the head.
“Besides, that Daoist’s apprentice brought a whole team.
Can’t our young mistress also bring some people?”

The two of them were currently squatting on the roof of the dormitory building, looking around.
As far as they could see, besides the endless rain curtain, there were the agents of the AXE Group’s Enforcement Department who were searching everywhere for that zombie, and the patrolling special operations team of the Demon Suppression Division.

They would occasionally encounter each other and then exchange fire.
It seemed that the firepower gap between the two sides was not very large, and neither had gained any advantage.

“But we can’t find the young mistress at all?”
The wolf demon pinched his chin, a thoughtful look on his face.
“As expected of the young mistress.
This demonic energy control is so good that we can’t track her demonic aura at all.”

“That’s because it’s raining.
In such a heavy rain, you wouldn’t be able to detect demonic aura unless you were fully demonized, okay?”

The tiger demon had always had a clear understanding of this old partner’s intelligence.
This husky was very fierce when fighting, but as soon as it came to a problem that required thinking, his intelligence would be instantly exposed.

“Wait! This demonic aura… it’s the young mistress!”
The wolf demon suddenly twitched his nose.
As a wolf demon, his sense of smell was much more sensitive than the tiger demon’s, and he had also discovered this suddenly erupting demonic aura earlier than the tiger demon.

They turned their heads in unison to look in the direction of the source of the demonic aura.
It was an empty classroom in an old teaching building.

“Let’s go!”
The tiger demon was the first to jump off the roof, his trailing voice disappearing into the rain curtain.
“The young mistress has demonized.
It seems she’s encountered a troublesome guy!”

“Wait for me!”
The wolf demon also jumped off the roof, and the two demons’ figures turned into a purple electric light and rushed into the rain curtain.

“I said! Give it back!”

The moment her words fell, Bai Ling had already rushed forward, her fingers forming a blade and slashing at Qin Fengling’s throat.

Actually, Bai Ling was not very good at unarmed combat.
At first, she had just used her physical fitness, which was several times higher than an ordinary person’s in her demonic energy boiling state, to forcibly imitate the moves in the game to fight.
It was only after receiving Guan Qing’s special training that she had properly mastered some combat skills.

But unfortunately, Guan Qing had never taught her how to fight unarmed from beginning to end.

Perhaps in Guan Qing’s opinion, this was completely unnecessary.
Even without a weapon, Bai Ling, as a snake demon, could completely use her demonic energy to create ice crystals out of thin air to serve as a weapon.

But now, Bai Ling didn’t dare to use her demonic energy at all.
Gu Xiyan was right beside her.
As a half-demon, she was much more sensitive to demonic energy than Xu Zhi, who was a human.

She still didn’t know that her disguise had long since been seen through by Gu Xiyan.

“Why don’t you ever say one, two, three before you start a fight!”
Gu Xiyan wailed, blaming Bai Ling’s impulsive behavior of starting a fight without a word.

She immediately spun and stepped on a desk to jump up, and a jab was about to hit Qin Fengling’s heart!

But the jab was intercepted in mid-air by Jia Ye.

“Sorry!”
Jia Ye moved his wrist, his toes lightly tapping the ground like a fluttering butterfly.
“I can’t let you disturb my sister’s fun.”

Gu Xiyan lightly landed on the desk, and her fluffy fox tail unconsciously swayed behind her.
“Then you’re really a killjoy.”

Although she was less than ten meters away from Bai Ling, she was separated by this young man in front of her, making it as difficult to cross as a natural chasm.

The fight between Bai Ling and Qin Fengling on the podium had been going on for a while.
The wooden lectern on the podium had been shattered by the aftershocks of their fight, and even the solid wood steps under their feet were full of holes.

“Flashy but not practical.
Haven’t you learned how to fight?”
Qin Fengling dodged Bai Ling’s sword-like jab with her fingers, as graceful as a butterfly fluttering in a flower garden.

“Shut up!”
Then came a knee strike from Bai Ling.
This strike carried a force and speed dozens of times greater than an ordinary person’s, but it was still easily dodged by Qin Fengling.

“Boom!”

This knee strike hit the wall, and a huge hole was created in the reinforced concrete wall.
Cracks instantly spread out from the point of impact to the entire wall.
The huge force even made the ceiling shake a few times, and dust rustled down.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk.”
Qin Fengling sighed.
“All strength, no skill.”

She suddenly bent down and moved closer to Bai Ling, who had not yet recovered her old strength and had not yet generated new strength.
This posture, compared to Bai Ling, made her look more like a snake.
“If you can’t hit me, then what’s the point?”

But when Bai Ling formed a blade with her fingers and spun to slash at her, she still gracefully moved away.

This woman had no intention of fighting back from the beginning, and was just playfully dodging all of Bai Ling’s attacks.

“Are you toying with me?!”

“No, I just wanted to tell you…”
The tips of Qin Fengling’s hair brushed against the girl’s chin, leaving a scent of gardenia.

Her index finger tapped the tip of the girl’s nose.
“If you don’t get serious, your little lover is going to die.”

‘Little lover?’

‘Could it be Xu Zhi?!’

The moment Qin Fengling’s words fell, a powerful cold air instantly exploded in the classroom air!

In the blink of an eye, the girl’s cheeks were covered in scales, and the snake tail extending from her back swept up countless desks and chairs.
Frost flowers spread out from the tips of her toes, and in an instant, they had covered the entire classroom.

“Crack!”

The sound of ice crystals condensing was accompanied by a crisp sound like porcelain shattering.
In that instant, it was as if time had been frozen.

The next moment, a longsword formed from condensed ice crystals was already at Qin Fengling’s throat.

“What do you mean?!”

The girl’s eyes at this moment were even colder than the thousand-year-old ice of the poles.

She shouldn’t have shown her demonized form in front of Gu Xiyan.
Being discovered by the Demon Suppression Division as a snake demon was not something that could be simply described as troublesome.

But as soon as it involved Xu Zhi’s safety, she had no time to think about exposing her identity.

“Yes, yes, yes! This is the look I wanted to see!”

But Qin Fengling, who had an ice crystal longsword at her throat, didn’t feel any danger at all.
Instead, she looked at the girl’s icy expression with excitement.

“You’re clearly a demon, yet you’re tying yourself down with a human identity.
Don’t you feel uncomfortable?”

“I said! What do you mean?!”

The ice crystal longsword moved an inch, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced a blood mark on Qin Fengling’s neck.

As soon as it involved Xu Zhi’s safety, the girl could no longer remain calm.
She couldn’t even maintain her heartbeat at 72 beats per minute.

“Your little lover is probably entangled with that zombie now.”
Qin Fengling even had time to tidy up the tips of her hair, which had been slightly messed up by the cold wind.
“You know what state that zombie is in now, right?”

Of course, Bai Ling knew what state Feng Yi was in now.
The corpse qi that guy had just erupted indicated that he was now in a state of rampaging corpse qi.
Just from the concentration of the corpse qi, he was at least four times stronger than before!

Xu Zhi would be injured when dealing with him in his normal state.
Now, facing him at four times the intensity?

He probably wouldn’t even be able to last two minutes!

The girl’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
Two familiar demonic auras were rapidly approaching.
It was the wolf demon and the tiger demon.

“Young mistress!”

The next second, the wolf demon and the tiger demon appeared in the center of the classroom with a purple electric light.

‘Were these two sent by Guan Qing?’

‘That’s good.
I’m short on manpower right now.’

The ice crystal longsword shattered into a pile of ice shards with a wave of the girl’s hand.
There was no time to deal with Qin Fengling and the others now.

“Follow me!”
She turned her head and was about to leave.

“Hey!”

Qin Fengling suddenly spoke, and the girl’s departing figure paused.

She turned her head to see what other tricks this woman was up to to waste her time.
If this woman continued like this, she wouldn’t mind wasting a little time to deal with her here.

But she didn’t expect Qin Fengling to throw something at her.
A warm and smooth touch was thrown into her hand.

“You’ve shown me what I wanted to see.
Here, this jade pendant is yours.”
The corners of Qin Fengling’s mouth curved into a charming arc.
“To save a man, you have to go all out.”

“The next time I see you, I’ll kill you immediately.”

“We’ll see if you can do it, little snake.”
Qin Fengling leaned against the wall.
This woman always maintained a charming and lazy temperament.

From the beginning of their fight until now, she hadn’t even used a tenth of her strength.

As the girl and the two demons left, the cold air lingering in the classroom gradually dissipated, and the frost flowers covering the walls gradually melted into water droplets.

“Are we still fighting?”
Jia Ye struck a boxing pose, his footwork still as light as a fluttering butterfly.

“Phew~ No more fighting, no more fighting~”
Gu Xiyan held her lower back and sat down with a thud.
“I’m so tired!”

“I’m not good at fighting head-on in the first place.
Let me rest for a while…”

The two of them had fought at least a hundred rounds since they had started, and neither had been able to do anything to the other.

But Gu Xiyan had also seen clearly that neither this young man named Jia Ye nor that charming woman named Qin Fengling had any intention of killing them.

It was more like sparring.
Hmm… perhaps it was more like teaching.

Anyway, as for herself, she was definitely no match for Jia Ye.
Perhaps Xu Zhi could.

“So why did you guys do this? It was completely unnecessary, right?”

“I just wanted to see how much that little snake had grown.”
Qin Fengling lit a ladies’ cigarette, and a green smoke came out from under her red lips.
“From the looks of it, she still has a long way to go…”

“Have you heard the story of a jiao snake turning into a dragon?”
she suddenly said, the crisp metallic sound of a Dupont lighter echoing between her fingers.
