260: Is it finally over?

A four-core weapon is indeed not something just anyone can wield; even though his Qi Cavitys are extremely powerful, his Martial Artist level is ultimately too low.

The few of them were all happily chatting when a sudden, abrupt sound rang out.

"Haha... it's finally time for this to end..."

This sound seemed not to be produced by human vocal cords, but rather like an animal's murmur—no, it should be described as a wail.

Who is speaking?

Everyone immediately looked for the source of the sound.

"Hehehe..."

The same sound rang out again, and to everyone's shock, a half-human, half-beast monster crawled up from the ground, appearing in their line of sight.

His face still seemed human, but it was covered in scales that did not belong to a human.

His arms grew longer, with a thick, armor-like hard shell floating on them, and so did his legs... And behind him, a huge tail abruptly grew.

Perhaps because his vocal cords were damaged, the sound he made was very low, but this only made it more eerie.

"This is... Bao Hui?!" Zhuang Sanming's eyes widened. This person's face was clearly Bao Hui's, yet his entire body was like a fierce beast.

And it seemed... not just one type of fierce beast.

It looked like several fierce beasts combined with a human.

"Quick, everyone, be careful!"

Xiong Mao immediately reminded everyone to prepare for battle. Bao Hui's appearance was truly terrifying, and many of them were now exhausted or injured. In this situation...

Bao Hui turned his head, looked at all of them, and said again in his hoarse voice, "It's over. I lost..."

"I lost the position of the Leader... lost the benefits I should have received..."

"And lost myself."

"Hahahahaha..."

Bao Hui's beast-like throat let out a maniacal laugh.

Blood seemed to be flowing from his body.

Blood dripped from his head, mouth, arms, and even his tail.

He walked towards the crowd, step by step.

"Are you satisfied?"

"I've become this neither-human-nor-ghost monster, and you're all satisfied!!"

"I hate... I hate all of you..."

"Especially you!"

He suddenly reached out and pointed at Zhuang Sanming, who was closest to him.

Zhuang Sanming's eyes widened, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, Bao Hui's massive half-human, half-beast body lunged at him!

"I'm going to kill you--"

Bao Hui's eyes turned red; he seemed to have lost the most basic human judgment.

His only goal now was to kill Zhuang Sanming.

And Zhuang Sanming couldn't run at all at this moment. His legs were injured and he couldn't move. The New Healing Pill had already been eaten, and he couldn't take out another one now.

Bao Hui was coming for his life.

Zhuang Sanming closed his eyes.

Dying at this time... it seemed there was nothing to regret.

He had already experienced the feelings of excitement and thrill, and the final outcome was victory. Xiong Mao successfully became The Axe Gang Leader, incorporating all the gang members.

Although he hadn't ridden in a car for a long time, he had eaten both the New Upgrade Martial Pill and the New Healing Pill.

His Martial Artist level had risen to four, which was quite good for his age.

He had also received the acceptance letter from the Alchemy Hall, which he most desired, although it was only for a small position and he had refused it. Still, at least half of his life's goal was accomplished.

As for the rest... he only worried about one thing: he hadn't fully repaid the kindness of Su Duo's family.

However, Su Duo had now also become a Level Four Martial Artist, and her Qi Cavitys were still better than ordinary Qi Cavitys, being a low-grade Qi Cavity. Her future development would definitely be better than his.

If Su Duo could protect herself and her family well in the future, it would count as repaying his debt for him.

Dying like this was also acceptable.

After Bao Hui transformed into a monster, his speed was incredibly fast. When he suddenly lunged at Zhuang Sanming, no one else reacted in time.

Only Su Duo was sitting with Zhuang Sanming.

Just as Zhuang Sanming closed his eyes, preparing to face death calmly, the eyes of this usually gentle and seemingly indecisive young girl suddenly changed.

"How dare you touch my cousin! Ask me if I agree first!"

Su Duo suddenly jumped up, fiercely swinging the knife in her hand and striking Bao Hui's body.

At that moment, Su Duo's speed was actually faster than Bao Hui's, who had turned into a monster!

However, the knife had no effect on Bao Hui's armor, failing to injure him in the slightest.

Su Duo didn't believe it and struck again, and again, and again, wildly hacking at Bao Hui.

"Die! Die! Die!"

Su Duo had completely forgotten where she was. She had only one goal: to hack this neither-human-nor-ghost monster in front of her to death!

"Get lost!" Bao Hui was annoyed and slammed his barbed fist into Su Duo's chest, piercing her chest on the spot!

Hearing Su Duo's voice, Zhuang Sanming opened his eyes in horror and saw the scene of Su Duo's chest being pierced by Bao Hui.

"No!"

Zhuang Sanming's eyes were bloodshot. How could it be Su Duo? How could it be her?!

Su Duo tightly gripped Bao Hui's barbed arm, completely ignoring the pain from her hands and chest.

Even if she died, she couldn't let her cousin be harmed!

"Something that doesn't know its place." Bao Hui swung his other hand, piercing Su Duo's abdomen from front to back!

"Cough, cough..."

Su Duo felt her whole body convulse and she couldn't breathe. She coughed continuously, as if she was going to cough out her windpipe.

But even so, she held onto Bao Hui tightly.

She was protecting her cousin in her own way.

"Cough, cough... Cousin, cousin... I... cough, cough, this time... let me... protect, you..."

Su Duo said a lot, but she couldn't hear any sound herself. She didn't even know what she was saying.

Her eyelids were so heavy, so heavy... Cousin, am I going to die?

Su Duo felt her hands completely lose strength and she was forced to let go of Bao Hui's arm.

"Damn it, where did this bug come from!" Bao Hui felt extremely disgusted. If Su Duo hadn't suddenly jumped out, Zhuang Sanming would have already been a corpse!

He was furious, so he threw Su Duo with force. With a "thud," Su Duo fell to the ground.

She lay in a pool of blood, closing her eyes forever.

Su Duo's final burst of strength successfully slowed Bao Hui's steps. Xiong Mao and the others arrived in time and killed Bao Hui, who was already experiencing a rejection reaction from drinking that potion, splattering blood on the spot.

Wen Hui ran over to check Su Duo's vital signs, to see if there was any way to save her, then shook her head at everyone.

She was already dead.
