Inside the room, the crowd that had been watching the commotion had now retreated to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"Huh, it's disappeared. Where is it?" Dong Xinran became more vigilant, thinking to himself that he must not be caught off guard.
He summoned several tree stumps to protect himself, while his alien energy transformed into wooden spikes that indiscriminately attacked every corner of the room.
An invisible spatial gate appeared in front of Ji Hao, taking all the wooden spikes inside. However, Zhuo Tingting did not have such a method and could only choose to withstand it. A flash of light appeared in her hand, transforming into a dagger, which shattered the flying wooden spikes.
But this exposed her figure.
"Found you." Dong Xinran sneered, summoned a wooden stake, and smashed it towards Zhuo Tingting.
Zhuo Tingting was on high alert and used her stealth technique again to evade the attack.
The hollowed-out wooden stake slammed into the wall with a loud bang, leaving a large hole in it.
Although the technique of concealment is very powerful, it is easy to expose one's figure the moment of attack. In addition, maintaining the state of concealment requires a lot of alien energy. Therefore, Zhuo Tingting did not dare to delay. She found an opportunity to approach Dong Xinran and immediately launched an attack.
At that moment, the dagger gleamed coldly, seemingly more terrifying than the scythe of death, and pierced towards Dong Xinran's throat like a venomous snake.
"I've absorbed so many superpowers, how could you, a little girl, compare?" Dong Xinran shouted loudly, and plants in front of him grew wildly, turning into vines that wrapped around Zhuo Tingting.
Zhuo Tingting kept swinging her dagger, cutting through the vines, and finally reached Dong Xinran.
"Overestimating yourself!" Dong Xinran conjured another vine, which wrapped around Zhuo Tingting's dagger. He then channeled his power into his right hand, which immediately turned into wood, and he blasted it out.
Zhuo Tingting's dagger was entangled and she couldn't pull it out, so she had to give up. She also gathered her alien energy in her palm and clashed with Dong Xinran.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed in the air. As a stealth-type ability user, Zhuo Tingting was naturally no match for Dong Xinran, whose arm had turned to wood. She was sent flying backward by this attack, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Ji Hao, what are you still looking at? As long as you help me take down Dong Xinran, you can absorb his superpower." Zhuo Tingting wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said anxiously, "If you're still not willing, we can discuss any conditions."
Ji Hao wasn't refusing to act; he simply considered certain possibilities and wanted to verify them. The murderer who killed the long-haired man was pierced by tree branches. If it wasn't Dong Xinran who did it, then there was only one possibility.
"Tell me, did you bury your mother under the big tree back then?" Ji Hao asked.
Zhuo Tingting asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"I guessed it." Ji Hao was delighted, thinking to himself that it was indeed true. After eliminating all other possibilities, whatever remained, no matter how impossible, was the truth.
Zhuo Tingting said, "Now that you've finished asking, why aren't you making a move?"
Ji Hao said, "I'm waiting for your helper. I won't make a move unless she shows up."
Zhuo Tingting was furious: "You scum, you just stood by and watched someone die!"
No matter how much Zhuo Tingting cursed, Ji Hao remained unmoved. He opened the window, shook his head and sighed, "She is still your daughter. Don't you plan to meet her?"
Dong Xinran sneered, "Whether you have helpers or not, you're all doomed!"
Zhuo Tingting said to Ji Hao, "Do you want to be defeated one by one?"
Ji Hao said with a relaxed expression, "That's impossible."
He took a chair and sat down to watch the show.
Zhuo Tingting was furious. She should have known better than to sow discord between Ji Hao and Dong Xinran. If she had told the truth, Ji Hao, given his personality, would probably have helped her. Now she had ruined everything.
Inside the room, the two clashed again, but Zhuo Tingting was clearly no match for Dong Xinran, and was beaten back step by step, spitting blood repeatedly.
Just as Dong Xinran was feeling excited, a soft thud came from behind him.
A man holding a pistol pulled the trigger at Dong Xinran.
Dong Xinran was startled, clearly not expecting that someone would shoot him in the back.
A wooden stake appeared behind him, stopping the bullet. He then turned around, intending to kill the person who had shot him.
Zhuo Tingting attacked again, her dagger as terrifying as a venomous snake, stopping Dong Xinran.
The man was terrified, his face pale and his whole body trembling, but he still managed to curse, "Dong Xinran, you beast! You used food to threaten me and forced yourself on my wife. I only regret that I am just an ordinary person with weak strength, otherwise I would have torn you to pieces!"
Behind the man, a woman hurried over. She had taken advantage of everyone's attention being drawn to Dong Xinran and Zhuo Tingting to steal the gun.
The man's gun was something he obtained while collecting supplies outside; he had secretly hidden it in his clothes before bringing it back.
"Honey, here!" The woman tossed a slightly more powerful sniper rifle to the man.
After taking the gun, the man shouted to the crowd, "If you are willing to join me in resisting Dong Xinran, then stand up. You have all suffered a lot during this period. Do you want to continue like this? If you miss this opportunity, you may never be able to get ahead again."
"Damn it, you dare betray the camp? You're asking for death!" a man with a buzz cut shouted angrily at the other man.
Bang!
The man fired his gun directly, killing the man with the buzz cut.
Bang! Bang!
The man then fired several shots, killing two more of Dong Xinran's trusted men. Combined with those killed by Zhuo Tingting, all of Dong Xinran's trusted men are now dead.
