With a swift movement, as if he could shrink the distance between people, Zhou Shen appeared in front of Yelü Hong in an instant.

The sword in his hand gleamed with a cold light, and like a bolt of lightning, it pierced straight towards Yelü Hong.

Yelü Hong, on the other hand, appeared calm and composed, ready to face death as if he were returning home. He had long been prepared to die.

However, Mei Ruohua's face turned ashen. She knew in her heart that Yelü Hong could not withstand Zhou Shenjiang's fierce sword strike no matter what.

However, due to her severe leg injury and limited mobility, she was no longer able to help Yelü Hong in any way.

She didn't want Yelü Hong to die, but faced with such a huge difference in strength, she was powerless and could only watch helplessly as the sword got closer and closer to Yelü Hong, her heart filled with despair and helplessness.

Meanwhile, Zhao Banshan, Zhao Tiancheng, Zhao Yuanbiao, Zhao Xiaohei, and others from the Zhao family watched helplessly as Yelü Hong, the second elder of the Divine Doctor Valley, was about to die. Their faces immediately lit up with smug smiles, smiles full of ferocity and arrogance.

The situation was completely different before.

Previously, the Zhao family members were like lambs to the slaughter, fish on the chopping block of the Divine Doctor Valley, at the mercy of others.

Normally, in their eyes, Mei Ruohua was a lofty figure, someone they could only look up to, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, unattainable.

The reason why the Zhao family was able to sell Shenyi Valley's pills in Yanming City, which seemed like a prestigious job, was actually due to the Zhao family using underhanded means and colluding with Yun Zhilan, the Grand Elder of Shenyi Valley.

Yun Zhilan secretly arranged for Zhao Banshan and Zhao Tiancheng to meet Mei Ruohua, which enabled them to obtain this coveted job from her.

In fact, the Zhao family knew perfectly well that their ability to become one of the three major families in Yanming City and enjoy unparalleled glory and wealth was all thanks to Mei Ruohua's kind words.

In their eyes, Mei Ruohua was a god who controlled their fate; with just a wave of his hand, he could make them fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

However, at this moment, the filthy thoughts in Zhao Banshan's mind grew wildly like weeds.

He actually dared to dream of getting Mei Ruohua's body; the old man's shamelessness is simply outrageous.

He could almost see Mei Ruohua succumbing to his power, and his excitement grew uncontrollable, his smile becoming increasingly lewd.

“Mei Ruohua and Yelü Hong are now working for Young Master Fang. How dare you, the people of the Demon Suppression Army, interfere in Young Master Fang’s affairs? Aren’t you afraid that Young Master Fang will blame you and make you regret it?”

But at that moment, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out like a thunderclap, seemingly coming from the distant horizon, yet clearly echoing in everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a figure rode a sword and came, like a shooting star streaking across the sky.

She was in mid-air, and with a gentle wave of her longsword, a sharp sword aura slashed out like a dragon emerging from the sea, instantly blocking Zhou Shenjiang's sword strike that was determined to kill Yelü Hong, the second elder of the Divine Doctor Valley.

The sword energy clashed fiercely with the longsword. With a loud clang, the sword energy, like an invisible force, directly deflected the longsword.

Not only that, Zhou Shenjiang felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him, which he was unable to resist at all. He staggered back many steps before he could barely steady himself.

However, his hand holding the sword trembled violently, as if the sword weighed a thousand pounds.

This scene stunned everyone present.

Zhao Wu and the other members of the Zhao family stared wide-eyed.

Their eyes were filled with terror and disbelief. General Zhou and General Cao were also shocked, as if they had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.

Zhou Shenjiang, in particular, found it hard to believe that he could be repelled by a single sword aura.

It should be noted that Yanming City is just a remote little place, and its city lord, Ye Zhong, is only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

In the eyes of the people of Yanming City, the people of Shenyi Valley were already unparalleled masters, and he, as a general of the Demon Suppression Army, could easily slaughter the people of Shenyi Valley. Therefore, he always thought that the people of Yanming City were ants and not worth mentioning at all.

But now, this sword energy made him realize that he was wrong, terribly wrong.

The next moment, a woman who looked extremely young landed gracefully from the air.

Her figure was graceful, like a blooming lotus flower, and her beautiful face shone with a captivating radiance in the sunlight.

This woman was naturally Hongxiu.

Fang Han was already somewhat distrustful of Mei Ruohua and the other people from the Divine Doctor Valley, worried that they might be outwardly compliant but inwardly disobedient and wouldn't actually kill Zhao Banshan and Zhao Tiancheng. So, he asked Hongxiu to keep an eye on them and see if the people from the Divine Doctor Valley would actually act according to his orders.

Later, Zhao Wu returned, bringing with him two great generals, Zhou Yun and Cao Hai, and the situation instantly became tense.

Mei Ruohua was unfortunately severely injured, but Hongxiu knew that Mei Ruohua had not betrayed Fang Han, so she could not sit idly by and helped her.

Mei Ruohua and Yelü Hong felt a chill of fear upon seeing Hongxiu suddenly appear.

They knew that if this stunningly beautiful woman had appeared even a fraction of a second later, not only would Yelü Hong have died on the spot, but Mei Ruohua would have been captured by the Zhao family and subjected to endless humiliation.

"Who...who are you? Why are you meddling in the affairs of my Demon Suppression Army? Don't you know the consequences of offending the Demon Suppression Army?"

Zhou Shenjiang looked at Hongxiu with fear in his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, he was frantically assessing whether he and General Cao could defeat the mysterious and powerful woman before him if they joined forces.

Hongxiu was able to arrive on a sword and defeat him with a single sword strike; she must be a powerful expert at the Divine Sense Realm.
