However, the strategy of only targeting weak points was indeed quite effective.

In Fang Yu's field of vision, whenever someone attacked the area not protected by the iron skin, the health of the Iron Plate Demon plummeted.

[Ironhide Fiend: 5624/14094.]

At that moment, Fang Yu hesitated no longer, and with a swoosh, he charged in that direction.

Snatching the last hit is crucial!

The rewards for [Two-faced Demon] were too low, so he had to make up for it elsewhere!

"Diao Deyi?!"

Zhuo Xueer exclaimed, but Fang Yu was already heading that way, and she couldn't call him back.

This guy, truly brimming with vigor; having just battled the Iron-faced Demon, he still had enough energy left to hunt other demons.

After that one slash, Zhuo Xueer was already drained, and although she had recovered slightly, she was barely able to move, nothing compared to Diao Deyi.

"That Suo Fengxiang, could it be that she has taken a liking to this aspect of Diao Deyi..."

The mission complete, and feeling relaxed, Zhuo Xueer's mind began to spawn some peculiar thoughts.

Her gaze shifted from the Iron Plate Demon to another demon.

Then, she discovered that the fellow who had revealed his true demon form alongside the Iron Plate Demon was now being suppressed by someone!

The man was a bald, muscular brute, whose attire suggested he was of the Lin Family; he bore a ferocious smile as if toying with the demon before him, matching the demon in combat but in no hurry to end its life.

Even when others came to help attack, the muscular brute would deliberately avoid them, letting the helpers face the demon directly, seemingly taking pleasure in guiding the demon to attack and harm these aiders.

"It's Lin Tianbie."

Lin Lai's voice suddenly rang out beside Zhuo Xueer.

Zhuo Xueer was startled only to realize that Lin Lai, a Young Master of the Lin Family, had come to her side at some point, with Yi Qinglei on guard but stopped by Zhuo Xueer's gesture.

During the previous fight with the demon, Lin Lai's behavior was relatively normal, and there seemed no need for caution.

Zhuo Xueer asked in confusion.

"That guy, who is he? With such strength, why didn't he help us just now?"

"Help?" Lin Lai scoffed with a cold laugh.

"Lin Tianbie is just waiting for Lord Lin Bei to die sooner. If Lord Lin Bei doesn't die, how can he get promoted? How can he climb up?"

"Earlier, Lin Tianbie was a thorn in the team. After a conflict with Lord Lin Bei, he couldn't leave the team, nor could he get promoted, trapped by Lord Lin Bei within the team."

"If not for this accident, he would've been stuck in our small team for life, never having the chance to turn things around."

"Unfortunately, with this incident, there is no one to hold him back. This team, I fear, might be led by him in the future."

Lin Lai's words were filled with disdain and mockery, as if he looked down on the man called Lin Tianbie.

Zhuo Xueer was puzzled.

"He's taking over the team? Is he stronger than you?"

Lin Lai sighed.

"Of course. Lin Tianbie is far stronger than me, I even suspect that he has reached the strength of Lord Lin Bei. But due to the rules of the Lin Family, he couldn't act against Lord Lin Bei, so he's been hiding his strength. Now that no one is watching him, he can freely display his power and snatch the position of Deputy Captain of the Guardian Martial Hall, which he has long coveted."

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Xueer looked thoughtful.

But in fact, she wasn't really interested in the Lin Family's affairs; it was just casual inquiry.

Just then, Lin Lai suddenly switched topics.

"By the way, Lady Zhuo, that Diao Deyi, what's his background, and what martial arts does he practice? Such formidable strength!"

Sure enough, Lin Lai had approached her for information about Diao Deyi.

Zhuo Xueer understood this in her heart.

A smile appeared on her face, but she had no intention of revealing any details about Diao Deyi.

However, establishing a slightly better relationship with the Lin Family members wouldn't be a bad thing.

After all, by killing the demon possessing Lin Bei, in a way, they were helping the Lin Family!

"Haah!!"

Right at that moment, Fang Yu's sword slashed down upon the exposed wound of the Ironhide Fiend.

Amidst the harrowing screams of the Ironhide Fiend, Fang Yu delivered consecutive strikes.

In no time at all, the Ironhide Fiend fell.

[Ironhide Fiend: 0/14094.]

[System Prompt: Congratulations Player for slaying [Ironhide Fiend], you've gained 3700 Experience Points.]

[System Prompt: Experience Points have exceeded 100, a total of 37 attribute points have been converted.]

Although it was kill-stealing, cheers and applause were nonstop around him.

No one wanted to face this heap of wretched iron. Not only was it dauntingly difficult to chop, but its strength was also immense, making it extremely tough to deal with.

People were naturally elated that someone took the lead.

Fang Yu claimed the kill, and others were free from their enemy, making both sides extremely happy.

"Diao Deyi!"

In the crowd, Fang Yu thought he heard someone calling his name.

Glancing around, he immediately spotted the target—none other than Qiu Shantong, the leggy beauty from Suo Fengxiang's team.

Next to her were Jie Yuxue, who previously liked to silently hug her sword, and Scarlet Bloom Mist, who always enjoyed sharpening her blade.

Oddly enough, Yu Yongan, known for his Qi Force skills, was nowhere to be seen.

Ever since the Lin Bei Demon appeared, the Lin Family and the members of the Foolish Underworld had already ceased fighting; hence, these few, despite not being very powerful, were able to safely survive on such a battlefield.

Fang Yu smiled towards these astonished women, then charged towards the last remaining demon.

"Hold on, brother over there, leave some demons for us!"

There was one last demon head to claim. He would seize all the demon heads first, then catch up with these women for a leisurely chat.

Once Fang Yu left, the three women immediately burst into commotion.

"Is that, is that Diao Deyi??" Jie Yuxue said with disbelief.

She had once boldly claimed that she would protect Diao Deyi. Little did she expect that Diao Deyi would be so strong, returning from the battlefront with Zhuo Xueer and dispatching the Iron Plate Demon that they couldn't deal with, all in a matter of moments.

"Suddenly, I feel like... his looks aren't so important anymore..."

Qiu Shantong commented oddly.

She always admired highly attractive men, and while Diao Deyi wasn't bad-looking, he was just slightly above average.

However, in terms of strength, he scored way too many points.

Qiu Shantong had been saved by Diao Deyi before, and at that time, she didn't feel much. Only after watching Diao Deyi slaughter demons today did she truly realize how terrifying his strength really was.

"..."

Scarlet Bloom Mist kept silent, her mind made up—when Diao Deyi returned, she would ask him to teach her martial arts.

"Wait! Which way is Diao Deyi heading?!"

Jie Yuxue suddenly exclaimed in shock.

The other two women's expressions changed instantly, and they all looked in that direction.

They saw standing there was the bald brawny man—the Lin Family's Disciple known for killing Yu Yongan, Lin Tianbie!

"Diao Deyi, be careful!"

"Diao Deyi, don't go that way!"

The three women shouted, but their voices were drowned out by the surrounding noise and failed to reach Diao Deyi in the distance.

"Hm?"

The bald brawny man also immediately noticed Fang Yu's sudden approach.

Another helper?

With a sidestep, the bald brawny man allowed the demon's attack that was meant for him to fall onto the soon-to-arrive Fang Yu instead.

The timing of the move was spot on; even a half-second slower wouldn't have achieved such a perfect effect.

Fang Yu immediately caught the subtle timing.

It could be said that for others around him, it was already too late to stop their charge, speed up, or even dodge left or right to avoid the demon's attack.

But Fang Yu was able to do it.

With a sidestep and acceleration, Fang Yu swiftly moved away from the range of the demon's large stick attack, and swung his sword toward the arm of the demon wearing Iron Arm Guards.

Clang!!!

A loud explosion sounded as the demon's arm trembled, the Iron Arm Guards caved in significantly with cracks appearing.

Fang Yu followed up with another sword strike.

Boom!!

The Iron Arm Guards shattered completely, revealing the fleshy colored arm beneath.
