Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1316 - 586: The Lesson

Even though the crowd was breaking through the defenses, Fang Yu paid them no mind. He simply addressed Fa Hongwen.

"Gang Leader Fa, please lead the way."

Lead the way where? Fa Hongwen paused, momentarily bewildered, before a sudden realization dawned upon him.

"Alright!"

The words were barely out of his mouth when he pushed through the throng, charting a course directly toward Lady Tai's chambers!

"Gang Leader?!"

"Damn it! Even the Gang Leader is..."

"Could it truly be Lady Tai? But they've always appeared as a loving couple; we've witnessed it for years..."

The Gang Leader's firm decision left everyone somewhat perplexed.

Yet, observing the Gang Leader departing with Fang Yu and his companions, they hesitated before eventually following suit.

Their allegiance was to Master Tai, and Lady Tai commanded respect only because of him.

However, if Lady Tai was indeed the one who had slain the Hall Master, then as the murderer, they would naturally avenge their lord and execute her on the spot!

A large contingent of people, creating a significant commotion, proceeded towards Lady Tai's room.

Servants encountered along their path quickly stepped aside, their expressions a mixture of bewilderment and alarm at the aggressive group.

Fa Hongwen remained silent throughout the journey, his fists clenched tight.

He harbored a growing suspicion that this entire affair might be orchestrated against him.

Fa Xiao, that scoundrel, never truly desired to manage the Forest Snake Gang's affairs; he craved complete control over everything the gang possessed.

Therefore, even if he wished for my demise, he wouldn't actively pursue it, for he still requires my presence!

Otherwise, upon my death, he wouldn't have a suitable figurehead to lead the gang and ensure a continuous flow of resources.

Thus... he's leveraging Tai Xuelin's apparent death to intimidate and subjugate me!

How can I permit him to have his way!

I will systematically dismantle every one of his cronies and the traitors he has positioned by my side!

I am the one true Gang Leader of the Forest Snake Gang!!

Bam!!!

Fa Hongwen kicked open Lady Tai's door, shouting immediately, "Lady Tai, please forgive my abrupt entrance!"

What is happening?!

The maids attending Lady Tai within the room exchanged alarmed glances, their faces draining of color.

"Gang, Gang Leader?!"

"Gang Leader, the Lady has just retired and requires rest..."

They found themselves at a loss, roughly pushed aside by Fa Hongwen!

However, just as he neared Lady Tai's bed, a large hand suddenly emerged from behind and settled firmly on his shoulder.

"Step back."

Those two simple words sent a tremor of fear through Fa Hongwen's heart.

"Diao Keqing..."

He was pulled backward.

This action shifted the intended position from him to Fang Yu, who should have been standing by the bed.

By this point, Qin Er and the others had also entered the room in quick succession.

Qin Er spoke first, addressing the occupant.

"Lady Tai, apologies for the disturbance! We have a few questions concerning Master Tai's demise..."

Clang!!

Qin Er was still speaking when Fang Yu had already drawn his sword.

Her pupils contracted, and Qin Er's words ceased abruptly.

"What are you doing!"

"Wait!"

"Stop! Even if we're questioning, we should do it properly first!"

"Murder to silence! Are you intending to silence a witness solely based on your flawed assumptions!!"

Amidst the rising chaos, Fang Yu had already swung his sword down towards the bedsheets!

"No!!!"

"Wait!"

"Stop this instant!"

Individuals rushed forward, but their efforts proved too late!

Yet, as the sword descended, the person who was supposed to be resting was already in motion!

The longsword plunged downward!

The woman, lying on her side with her back to Fang Yu, suddenly rolled away, narrowly evading the blade!

What an incredibly swift roll!

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly as...

Tear!

The woman instinctively wrapped the sheet around herself. The fabric, caught by the sharp longsword, was ripped in two.

The torn sheet enveloped the woman who, by all accounts, should have been overcome with grief and fainted.

Standing atop the wooden bed, she gazed down at everyone with a cold demeanor.

"What is your intention, sirs?"

Lady Tai's voice was icy, but the assembled crowd was already dumbfounded.

That roll just now, that fluid, effortless movement, was not something the supposedly frail Lady Tai could possibly perform.

"Lady, Lady Tai knows martial arts?"

"It must be Master Tai who taught her! Madam possesses such exceptional skills!"

"Silence! You fool!"

While some remained oblivious to the implication, others wore grim expressions.

Even Qin Er, who had previously dismissed the possibility, now had to concede that her earlier deductions were likely entirely incorrect.

She cast a glance towards Ding Hui, who had somehow been moved to Master Xiong's side.

Qin Er subtly withdrew behind Minister Qiu, observing the unfolding situation with keen attention.

"Gang Leader, my husband has just offered his life for the gang, his body is barely cold, and you question my intentions?"

Lady Tai continued her chilling inquiry, the tear marks on her face not yet fully faded.

Who could have imagined that the woman who appeared on the verge of collapse from sorrow over Master Tai's death, on the brink of fainting from her tears, could in an instant display such remarkable agility that the onlookers could barely keep pace?

Fa Hongwen offered a smile, stating, "Lady Tai, your movement technique is truly remarkable. I had no idea you possessed such a divine skill, such hidden talent."

"It was merely during my leisure time, my husband taught me..."

Lady Tai's guard immediately rose to its peak.

Even as she spoke, her entire focus remained fixed on the sword-wielding man confronting her.

So incredibly fast.

Far too swift!

Just as she was midway through her sentence, the ferocious sword light cleaved through the air with pressing speed!

With a point of her toe, Lady Tai retreated, pushed back against the wall.

However, the confines of the bed space were already limited, and the assault was both rapid and savage.

A fraction of a second too late...

Riiip!!!

The fabric of the sheet was rent, crimson blood erupted from her chest, and Lady Tai felt an agonizing pain as she was disemboweled on the spot!

"You?!"

The torrent of blood, along with her internal organs, poured forth from her chest, and in the subsequent instant...

Boom!!!

A Blood Mist materialized, exploding outwards.

An indistinct silhouette expanded from the blood mist; its sheer mass instantly shattered the wooden bed frame beneath.

Amidst the splintered wood, a figure had already plunged into the swirling blood mist!
