Given Yao Yao's strength, she was not capable of teleporting to Song Shanhe's front without drawing the attention of these purple qi experts. Even if these experts were distracted by the snake demon on the protective plate, it was not the only factor. I glanced at Zhang Xiaomiao's position and understood. Zhang Xiaomiao had been with us before, but now she was behind Song Shanhe, between the two cars.
It was likely that Yao Yao had used Zhang Xiaomiao's mobility, "hitching a ride" for a distance, thus achieving a "teleportation" much faster than ordinary purple qi experts.
Furthermore, I noticed that the remaining six demons had moved from outside the workshop, around the building, to the sides of the main entrance. Three on each side, ready to rush in and help. I guessed that after our side was losing the debate, Yao Yao had used a mental transmission to command the seven demons to act, preparing to clash with the enemy. She herself would go for the leader first. If Song Shanhe backed down, we would win without fighting.
If facing an ordinary opponent, Yao Yao's strategy would be flawless. Unfortunately, the opponent was the top leader of the Mohe organization.
Song Shanhe looked down at the splintered end of the mop handle and sneered contemptuously. He said fiercely, "Playing this game with me? Isn't that a bit too naive? If you dare stab me, I can't deal with the ghost soldiers here, but none of you living people will survive!"
"Is that so?" Yao Yao smiled slightly and pushed the wooden splinter forward with a little force.
Song Shanhe remained motionless. He even puffed out his chest to meet Yao Yao's attack. Beneath his suit, he must have been wearing something else, as his chest area was deeply indented, appearing as if it would pierce through the suit.
"As expected of the Mohe's boss, your courage is extraordinary," Yao Yao said with a smile. As she pretended to lower the wooden stick, she suddenly closed in and grabbed Song Shanhe by the throat with one hand.
"Let go!" The purple qi experts immediately roared.
Yao Yao did not let go. Song Shanhe tilted his head slightly, remaining motionless. However, his hands, which had been confidently clasped behind his back, were now spread open to his sides, signaling his subordinates not to act rashly.
At this moment, a mental transmission from Yao Yao suddenly echoed in my mind: "Take Chen Lu and her father to the office and hide."
My heart leaped!
Was Yao Yao really going to attack!
"Hurry!" Yao Yao urged.
I immediately walked towards Chen Lu and Chen Jianguo, but I was stopped by a purple qi expert on the outer perimeter.
"Let him pass!" Yao Yao shouted loudly. "Don't think I don't know that your boss is wearing a chest armor underneath, which is why he's not afraid of my piercing attack. But I don't believe his throat is also embedded with armor!"
So that was it. Song Shanhe's righteousness just now was a pretense. He had armor under his suit. I guessed Yao Yao had noticed it with her poke just now and had changed her method of threat.
The purple qi expert blocking my path did not stop me further. I quickly retreated with Chen Lu and Chen Jianguo. However, Song Shanhe, even with his throat constricted, managed to speak, "The Chen family can leave. The one named Wu, you cannot."
Immediately, two purple qi experts blocked the path between me and the Chen father and daughter. Their guns were already pointed at my abdomen.
Helpless, I had to return to my original position, watching Chen Lu and Chen Jianguo enter the office. Chen Lu was terrified and crying, but she dared not make a sound, her eyes filled with tears. She probably regretted it, not expecting that her personal whim, or perhaps a prank, would lead to this situation.
"Chengfeng, don't panic," Yao Yao's voice came again. "I've told Zhang Xiaomiao to be responsible for your safety. When the fight starts, she will take you away."
Indeed, I saw Zhang Xiaomiao behind Yao Yao, hidden among the "ghost soldiers." Her form continuously became indistinct until she vanished. I then activated my Qi sensing technique and "saw" her circling towards me. Eventually, she stood behind the two purple qi experts holding guns at me, then squeezed through the gap between them and knelt on the ground. She raised her small hands and placed them on the wrists of the two purple qi experts who were holding their guns. Once the conflict broke out, she could immediately pull away their Uzi guns, preventing me from being shot.
I was safe, but what about Yao Yao!
Near me, beside the fox demon, there were also two villagers who had become indistinct. One of them was a green qi practitioner, standing beside the purple qi expert pointing a gun at the fox demon, ready to attack him at any moment...
