He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Lu Chen smashed the demon armor in the head with a single punch; the demon armor tried to escape.

"What?!?!"

The sinister smile on Mo Yi's face froze instantly!

He felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his wrist as he gripped the knife.

A terrifying force emanated from the opponent's fingers!

He tried to break free, and the bones in his wrist made a cracking sound as they struggled under the strain, but his five fingers remained completely still!

How is that possible?

Are these students who have just awakened to their true nature?

With guards protecting him, he should be quite frail!

This power... what is this power?!

"Damn it, that scared the hell out of me!"

Lu Chen was also taken aback by his sudden reaction and strength.

But then a surge of rage welled up inside him.

Almost subconsciously, he allocated over a thousand points to his strength attribute.

It was all concentrated in his left fist without reservation.

Facing the horrified face of the demon Yi so close at hand,

He threw a powerful punch!

This punch had no fancy techniques whatsoever; it was purely an explosion of power and speed!

"Bang--!!!"

A muffled thud, like a ripe watermelon being struck by a heavy hammer!

Demon B's head,

Under Lu Chen's angry punch

It exploded without any suspense!

Red and white, mixed with fragments of bone.

Like fireworks, they scattered and splashed in all directions.

It sprayed all over the floor!

Lu Chen released his grip.

The headless corpse of Demon B,

He staggered forward two steps stiffly.

Then, with a "plop,"

It fell straight to the ground.

The poisoned dagger in his hand clattered to the ground.

The scene was deathly silent.

"this........"

Shangguan Hong's blood-red afterimage abruptly stopped.

Her bloodshot eyes were wide open at that moment.

He stared at Lu Chen in disbelief.

He then looked at the headless corpse on the ground.

It seemed as if they were wondering, "Was this really done by Lord Lu Chen?"

Chu Yu and Qian Mengmeng remained in the position with their arms outstretched.

She turned her head blankly and stared at the boy.

A ridiculously absurd thought flashed through the minds of the three women simultaneously:

This power...this strength...

He smashed the head of an assassin of level 30 or higher with a single punch?

Does he really... need our protection?

Was it a bit unnecessary for us to rush up here with our lives on the line?

Meanwhile, the sneer on the face of the demon armor, who was watching the show, instantly froze.

The pupil suddenly contracted to the size of a pinhead.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet straight up to the top of my head!

"Damn! This rich kid is just being a sweetheart!"

Those three women were probably just playthings for him to have fun with!

This kid is the real tough one!

The demon armor instantly cursed inwardly, while an overwhelming sense of fear surged within it.

Even if Demon B was distracted, he could kill Demon B with a single punch.

This is enough to show that this boy's strength is outrageous!

If I don't run away soon, I'll definitely end up like Mo Yi!

"Get out of here!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the demon armor whirled around, channeling all its power into its legs.

Its body moved like a startled rabbit, frantically fleeing into the depths of the dense forest!

What task?

What reward?

What saintess subordinate?

In the face of life and death, all of that is utter nonsense!

"Hmph! Trying to run away?!"

Shangguan Hong was the first to react.

She was already furious because Lu Chen had been attacked, and then she saw the demonic armor and tried to escape.

New and old grudges, coupled with the violent killing intent brought by forbidden techniques, instantly overwhelmed reason.

She let out a low growl, taking advantage of the forbidden effect of "Lightning Blood Spirit Dance"...

His entire body transformed into a streak of crimson lightning.

They caught up with it at a speed several times faster than the magic armor!

"Lushan Rising Dragon Strike!"

A sharp cry rang out from the crimson lightning.

In an instant, Shangguan Hong's figure appeared behind the demonic armor.

A powerful punch from below,

With a piercing shriek that tore through the air and a violent bloodlust

It slammed into the back of the demon's neck!

"Snap!"

A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out.

The armored figure suddenly froze as the violent punch shattered his cervical vertebrae!

The look of terror on his face hadn't even fully formed yet...

The light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

His body collapsed forward like a tattered sack.

It twitched twice, then fell completely silent.

He never imagined until his death that...

The other party actually used this forbidden technique, risking their life for another, to hunt him down.

I never imagined I would end up like this.

He died at the hands of a "guard".

With the death of the Beastmaster Demon Armor,

Those phantom poisonous bees that hovered in the air and harassed everyone,

As if losing command, chaos instantly descended.

After buzzing and spinning in place a few times, it became like a headless fly.

They began to flee haphazardly in all directions and soon disappeared into the dense forest.

The crisis has been temporarily averted.

The crimson light on Shangguan Hong's body quickly faded.

The backlash from the forbidden technique instantly turned her face ashen white.

His body swayed, and he almost lost his balance.

But she forced herself to stay upright, turned around, and staggered back to Lu Chen.

Seeing Lu Chen standing there unharmed, Shangguan Hong felt a surge of fear and intense self-reproach.

She knelt down on one knee with a thud, lowered her head, and her voice trembled:

"I'm so sorry, Lord Lu Chen! It was my negligence in protecting you that caused you such a fright! Please punish me, sir!"

"This is none of your business, get up!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Chen quickly stepped forward and reached out to help Shangguan Hong up.

He was actually a little scared.

But what moved me most was the story of Shangguan Hong and the others who risked their lives to protect each other.

The fact that Chu Yu and Qian Mengmeng just now shielded him with their bodies without hesitation...

He saw it all.

However, just as Lu Chen's hand was about to touch Shangguan Hong's arm,

Shangguan Hong's body could no longer withstand the backlash from the forbidden technique.

Everything went black, and I slumped forward!

Lu Chen was startled and instinctively tried to catch her.

He acted very quickly.

But perhaps it was because of nervousness,

His outstretched hands did not support Shangguan Hong's shoulders.

Instead... it is impartial and unbiased.

It landed squarely on Shangguan Hong's chest!

Upon touching it, it was surprisingly soft and full.

With warm body temperature and a rapid heartbeat,

It was instantly transmitted through the palm of the hand.

The scene fell into an eerie silence once again.

Qian Mengmeng and Chu Yu stared wide-eyed, their mouths slightly agape.

It was as if I had witnessed something incredible.

Shangguan Hong's cheeks, which were originally pale due to weakness,

At a speed visible to the naked eye,

It turned bright red in a flash.

The redness spread all the way to her ears and neck!

Her body stiffened abruptly.

Even the feeling of fainting was somewhat dispelled by this sudden touch.

Lu Chen was completely dumbfounded.

He could clearly feel the amazing elasticity and softness beneath his palm.

My mind went completely blank for a moment.

Even... almost unconsciously, I gently pinched it.

"Um……"

A muffled groan, tinged with pain and unease, escaped from Shangguan Hong's throat.

The sound exploded in Lu Chen's ears like a thunderclap!

He snapped back to his senses and instantly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

He stumbled back several steps, his face instantly turning bright red. He was flustered and incoherent.

"I'm so sorry! I... I didn't mean to..."

I...I just wanted to help you up...I..."

He was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground, and he didn't dare to look Shangguan Hong in the eye.

Oh no, oh no, this is hopeless! I can't clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River!

Could the other party think he's a lecherous scoundrel trying to take advantage of someone?

Will the trust and goodwill that have just been established collapse in an instant?

Shangguan Hong knelt there with her head down, her body trembling slightly.

I don't know if it's because of the backlash or because of that extremely embarrassing scene just now.

She bit her lower lip tightly and didn't speak immediately.

But her bright red ears and violently heaving chest...

This revealed the extreme turmoil in her heart at that moment.

A strange excitement welled up inside me. Had she been played with and ruined?

In the forest, only the sound of the wind could be heard for a moment.

The air seemed to freeze, filled with an awkward and subtle atmosphere.
