"Hiss—"

Li Hongxiu felt as if she had plunged into an icy abyss in an instant, her body turned cold, and her heart suddenly contracted.

The extreme fear was like an invisible giant hand.

Pressing down on her neck.

"Get out of the way, quickly!" Yingying's sharp and hoarse roar came from beside her ear.

Boom!

The entire wall exploded violently.

In the midst of the loud explosion, countless wooden splinters tore through the air, carrying a white, high-pressure airflow with them.

Like a shotgun blast, they surged towards her face, instantly filling every corner in front of Li Hongxiu.

Li Hongxiu instinctively crouched to dodge.

The high-pressure airflow screamed past above her head, her long hair dispersing like clouds.

Looking up with a face filled with horror, her pupils contracted.

The entire wall collapsed with a bang, and Su Heng's massive dark figure filled the room; streams of light radiated from the edges of his body, with fine dust floating within them.

"It seems that my suspicions were correct that day; there is indeed a demon hidden in the Red Building."

Now that I've encountered it, I might as well kill it on the spot.

Su Heng said coldly, "Hand over that demon, and I'll spare your life."

"In your dreams!" Li Hongxiu roared in a low voice, her teeth sharpened, as a pair of furry fox ears poked out from beneath her hair.

"You've refused the toast only to drink a forfeit." Su Heng's face turned cold as he brought down a palm strike.

The vitality of the Green Wood and the auxiliary force of the Black Sun Demonic Energy.

Two streams of energy complemented each other, and the vigorous force on Su Heng's hand rose and twisted the air, forming a swath of smoke that seemed almost solid.

In Li Hongxiu's field of vision.

That giant hand blocked out everything, leaving no escape, no defense.

It was like the legendary Supreme Sky Demon, something utterly beyond any demon or martial artist she had encountered in the past.

"Block this for me!"

Li Hongxiu's eyes turned bloodshot as she struggled, flames of red fire erupting from her body; she crossed her arms and lifted them upwards.

Bang!

First, there was a muffled sound.

The powerful overlapping energies and the Red Fox Demon Fire pressed and collided with each other.

Then, amidst a massive explosion, they detonated, and a circle of crimson fire abruptly appeared, rapidly spreading outward.

Su Heng's clothes fluttered about him wildly, his iron-cast body steadfast.

Meanwhile, blood seeped from Li Hongxiu's mouth, nose, and eyes; her pretty cheeks turned pale, as ghastly as a fierce ghost.

Crack!

The floor beneath her feet shattered inch by inch.

If they were on solid ground, Su Heng's palm might have crippled or killed her on the spot.

But the Red Building was a wooden ship, and as the floor gave way, it collapsed downward, which ironically helped absorb much of the force.

Thus, she was only injured and not critically wounded.

"It's nothing but a dying struggle." Su Heng looked down at the sudden hole that appeared before him, and at the wisps of white smoke rising from it.

He shook his head, stepped forward, and leapt down the hole with his huge, heavy body.

Bang!

Li Hongxiu crashed onto the eighth-floor deck.

This was a storeroom, with windows open on both sides, and fine dust permeated the air.

Her consciousness went blank for a moment, and then she became aware of intense pain surging from every nerve ending!

So painful!

Her body felt as if it were being torn apart alive.

Supporting herself with her arms, she endured the pain and struggled up from the floor.

Before she could straighten up, the floor suddenly jolted. Li Hongxiu's heart tightened, her eyes trembled, and she suddenly looked up.

Lots of furniture, wooden chunks, and debris fell from the ceiling, forming a grey waterfall.

Amidst this cascade of dust and debris, a massive shadow was clearly visible.

Hiss—

The large hand, like a fanning leaf, tore through the air, fingers outstretched.

It reached fiercely towards where Li Hongxiu was.

Bang!

The sound of the air bursting was like the wail of a hundred beasts; her ears rang with buzzing.

The immense force compressed the air, forming a tangible whip of gas that crackled as it lashed Li Hongxiu's face and body.

Her clothes were torn to shreds, and red marks appeared on her snow-white skin.

"Monster!"

Shock beyond words filled Li Hongxiu's heart, and the intense oppression made it hard for her to breathe.

With just a clench of his fingers, he generated such immense power. The strength of this man's physical body must be incredibly formidable.

Such a monster, how could it possibly be defeated!?

"Swish!"

Before Li Hongxiu could react, the large hand swept across again.

On instinct, she wanted to duck to avoid it, her delicate body nimble and flexible in the cramped space.

This was her only advantage against the monster.

However—

In the palm of Su Heng, two streams of power revolved at high speed, generating airflow and creating a vortex.

Out of nowhere, a tremendous pulling force arose, causing mops and brooms tucked away in the corner of the storage room to bang and tremble incessantly.

The girl's long hair was lifted, her skirt hem and sleeves flapping wildly in the swirling forces, making noise.

Li Hongxiu's heart skipped a beat, mentally cursing the situation.

During the pull of the power,

Her speed slowed by a third.

And that third was the difference between life and death.

"Got you!" An indifferent voice rang out, followed by an overwhelming force as bronze fingers pressed down on the back of the girl's head.

Lifting, then smashing down!

Bang!

Li Hongxiu's face collided intimately with the wall.

Her vision turned crimson; her mouth and nose tasted richly of iron.

The acute pain and the looming shadow of death finally broke through her defenses, and she screamed, her voice tinged with sobs.

"Last chance!"

Amidst the throes of pain, Su Heng's cold voice sounded again, "Either dissolve the fusion with that demon, or die with it."

"In your dreams!" Li Hongxiu shrieked as she reached for Su Heng's eyes.

"Very well!" Su Heng sneered coldly, "Your wish is granted!"

He continued to apply force, veins bulging. The girl opened her mouth wide but couldn't make a sound. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face contorted and fierce, her skull creaking in Su Heng's grip.

Bang!

Su Heng exerted strength again, smashing her towards another wall.

The wall collapsed thunderously, disintegrating.

Then the third wall, and the fourth; the entire room, along with the ninth floor of the Red Pavilion, collapsed downward, a continuous thunderous boom echoing on and on.

Li Hongxiu was barely breathing, but streams of life force were still surging outwards.

Keeping the girl alive.

"Roar!"

With a roar, three fox tail phantoms appeared.

The red flames that had been dying down on Li Hongxiu's body ignited once more, the blaze so fierce that even Su Heng felt a wave of burning pain.

"Interesting." Su Heng did not loosen his fingers.

Instead, he stretched out his arms, twisted his waist, the power of his back muscles instantly coursing through his body, and then he tossed her forward fiercely!

Boom!

The deck of the Red Pavilion was as if bombed by a missile.

First, a violent explosion flung up dust, followed by layer after layer collapsing downwards.

It wasn't until reaching the first floor that the violent force was subdued somewhat, but it still led to a large area of collapse.

Su Heng followed the path of the hole he had carved downwards.

He reached the bottom floor.

It appeared to be a backstage preparation room, with many props for performances laid out.

Seven or eight young dancers were applying makeup, seemingly in preparation for training to follow.

The sudden appearance of a huge pit startled them.

The dancers hid in the corners, curling up, trembling uncontrollably.

"Where's Li Hongxiu?" Su Heng asked.

Without an answer, he furrowed his brow, no longer pursuing the question.

There was fresh blood on the ground, and the distinctive scent of the demon, still nearby, had not escaped far.

He planned to check the outside venue.

However, just as he stepped out, a dancer in blue blocked Su Heng's path.

The young girl, terrified and trembling, her face pale, still bravely grabbed Su Heng's arm, "You've ruined our ship, you can't just leave like this!"

"That's right, you need to give us an explanation," encouraged by her, several other dancers also surrounded him.

Su Heng stopped, his brow tightly knitted.

His gaze swept over the dancers, and then he spoke in a cold voice, "You are harboring a demon!"

The girl in blue shuddered but still clenched her teeth, "What are you talking about? We don't understand!"

"There are no demons here, only the sisters of the Red Pavilion."

"Yes, compensation!"

"Don't even think about leaving this place until you've fixed the ship!" The other dancers joined in the clamor, their noise giving Su Heng a headache.
