True Feelings Revealed in Adversity

"You mean, lure the Demon Beast there... That makes sense. It's a wealthy area with many powerful protectors. Lure the Demon Beast there would not only buy us enough time but also minimize casualties. But..."

Yan Jinghong felt his throat was incredibly dry; he finally understood why the doctor had hesitated.

If he hadn't intervened and allowed the Demon Beast to charge freely, the city would undoubtedly have fallen, while the villa area would have only suffered a small wave of Demon Beast. With the protection of the numerous skilled bodyguards hired by the wealthy residents, they would have been able to weather the disaster unscathed.

In other words, this group of people could have survived.

But if he intervenes and directs the Demon Beast to attack the villa area instead, then the fates of both sides will be reversed. No matter how many experts the wealthy people hire, they cannot withstand the attack of 100,000 Demon Beast. These people will have no chance of survival—even if you say that he killed them, it wouldn't be wrong!

A single thought can determine the fate of two people.

Who gave birth?

Who will die?

No wonder the doctor said he would regret it after hearing it. If he hadn't known this method, even if he hadn't been able to prevent the city from falling, he would have done his best and could at least say he had a clear conscience.

Ignorance is no excuse.

But now that he knows this method, it means he has the ability to save these people. If he doesn't lend a helping hand in the end, he can no longer claim to have a clear conscience.

But if he uses this method to save civilians in the city, can he then have a clear conscience?

Perhaps, after hearing this method, he had already lost the right to have a clear conscience.

Just pretend I didn't say that.

The doctor's panicked voice came through the communicator.

Yan Jinghong swallowed hard and asked with difficulty, "Who came up with this idea?"

This is definitely not a method devised by a PhD; it's not just a matter of ability, but also includes the style of doing things.

"He's the 'Snake's' apprentice."

"... So it was her."

Yan Jinghong suddenly remembered the girl who could read people's minds.

If it were her, she would indeed come up with such a solution.

Yan Jinghong closed her eyes, and after struggling for three seconds, she clenched her fists, having made her choice!

Chapter 152 True Friendships Are Revealed in Times of Adversity

Murong Zhe strode into Tange Middle School, looking around for people.

After taking Si Ming's advice and escorting the students out of the campus, the teachers counted the number of students and found that a few were still missing.

Regardless of whether these students escaped home secretly or were left behind at the school, Murong Zhe felt it necessary to go back and search the school before he could feel at ease.

"Looks like we came to the right place."

As soon as he arrived near the playground, he heard the sound of fighting. He quickly ran towards the source of the sound and saw a teacher fiercely fighting a humanoid Demon Race in the martial arts hall, whose gate was closed.

"Oh, it's Teacher Deng."

Through the window, Murong Zhe saw that the person fighting in the martial arts hall was Teacher Deng Xiaoxian, who was very popular among the students, especially the girls. Behind him were two students with injured legs who could hardly move.

It appears that Deng Xiaoxian is protecting the two students, but he is at a disadvantage in the battle against the Demon Race and is also in dire need of protection himself.

His opponent was a Demon Race had taken human form, covered in black spots, a characteristic clearly derived from a demon body. Judging from this, he should be a Demon Race of the Earth Rank, which, according to human strength classification, would be a peak expert below the Spirit Transformation.

Although Deng Xiaoxian's cultivation level was not low, he came from a prestigious family and was not particularly skilled in combat among the teachers. It was clear that his opponent was holding back and toying with him, letting him slip through several fatal openings; otherwise, the battle would have ended much earlier.

Just as Murong Zhe was about to rush in to save the person, he suddenly felt a powerful gust of wind behind his head. He quickly turned around and struck out with his palm, catching the attacker's fist. True Qi Yao Qi clashed, and both sides were surprised by the other's cultivation level, and were simultaneously knocked back.

"Good, that's a master!"

The Tail Fire Tiger Woman grinned, revealing two sharp tiger teeth, and flames roared from the end of her tail behind her.

The exchange just now seemed evenly matched, but Murong Zhe had been hastily responding to the attack, Tail Fire Tiger Woman had launched a premeditated sneak attack. The fact that it ended in a draw clearly shows who was superior.

Murong Zhe frowned slightly, recalling his previous doubts, and asked, "You deliberately spared the three people in the manor to attract more people to come to the rescue?"

Tail Fire Tiger Woman admitted, "That's right. I had heard that the school had the most experts, but unfortunately there is no university in Tange City, so I had to come to your key high school. I was lucky to run into these three good-for-nothings who didn't have time to escape. I thought that even if I killed them, it wouldn't make much of a difference, so I might as well keep them as bait to attract more big fish. Now it seems that my idea was right. I have indeed caught a big fish, and it is a rather challenging great white shark."

What's the point of doing this?

Murong Zhe had never heard of the Demon Race having such a penchant for challenging the strong; otherwise, they would have been wiped out by humans long ago.

"Meaning? Tigers eat sheep, sheep eat grass, what's the point of all that meaning? Just do what you want!"

Without saying another word, the Tail Fire Tiger Woman leaped forward with a powerful push of her feet, her hands forming claws as she tore through the air.

Murong Zhe's body exploded simultaneously. As he violently channeled his energy, his clothes stretched taut, making a loud noise, and cracks appeared on the ground beneath him.

The Confucian School Six Arts Art – Command the Fierce Wind!

The recoil force rose from his feet, spreading to his waist, abdomen, and spine. His joints exploded, and with internal and external force combined, Murong Zhe threw a punch. The force of his punch surged like a rapidly spinning turbine, colliding with his opponent's tiger claw with a whistling sound.

The force caused their arms to bulge, tearing their clothes into fluttering flakes.

The Tail Fire Tiger Woman's Tiger Claw Technique was supposed to be a pounce and a grab, immediately retracting her five fingers to grip her opponent after the pounce. However, she was struck by Murong Zhe's spiraling force. Even with the fleshy pads in her palms that originated from her demonic body, she was unable to neutralize the force. Her arm bones were pierced and ached. She was unable to perform the subsequent "grab" and was forced back.

Murong Zhe used the recoil to push backward, crashing into the door of the martial arts hall. He then used his waist and back to combine the strength of both himself and his opponent, and with a powerful slam, he broke through the door and rushed into the room.

Upon hearing the noise, Winnowing Basket Water Leopard stopped holding back and kicked Deng Xiaoxian squarely in the stomach, sending him flying. Then, he sprang forward like an arrow, his wrist flicking as he folded his left hand into a knife and his right hand into a hollow fist, which he concealed at his waist.
