"Ah... what are you doing?"
The old woman deliberately shrieked, retreating further behind Shen Ba Nian and Shen Ba Yue.
Seeing Qin Yi about to forcibly lay hands on his mother, Shen Ba Nian was enraged and struck out at Qin Yi with a palm.
Qin Yi sidestepped, evading the blow! Seizing the opportunity, Qin Yi closed in on the old woman!
"Ba Yue, stop him!"
Shen Ba Nian turned to stop Qin Yi, but it was too late. He could only shout to Shen Ba Yue, who was still beside the old woman.
Shen Ba Yue was also furious at Qin Yi's aggressive move against his mother. Without any hesitation, he gathered all his strength and slammed a punch towards Qin Yi.
However, before his fist could even touch Qin Yi's clothes, it was easily dodged.
Having evaded both their attacks, Qin Yi's hand had already grasped the old woman's shoulder.
The old woman's body trembled, and she cried out, "Ah, let go of me, let go of me..."
Shen Ba Nian roared, "Let go of my mother..."
"Group Leader Xue, quickly tell him to stop!!!"
Seeing that he couldn't stop Qin Yi, he turned and shouted to Xue Qiao'er.
Xue Qiao'er stood by, witnessing the scene with mixed emotions. It was difficult to decide whether to intervene or not.
She remained in place, not speaking immediately.
Shen Ba Nian, seeing Xue Qiao'er's inaction, gritted his teeth in anger and was about to say something more.
However, this time, before he could utter a word, after seeing Qin Yi grab the old woman's shoulder, his expression turned fierce, and he punched towards the old woman's abdomen.
"Mom..."
"Mom!!!"
Shen Ba Nian and Shen Ba Yue's eyes turned red with urgency.
The old woman felt the power of Qin Yi's fist, and her previous fear vanished. Her face became a picture of frenzied ferocity.
"Damn you, are you determined to oppose me?"
"I'll fight you to the death today!"
The old woman opened her mouth and spat a mouthful of black blood at Qin Yi.
In response, Qin Yi was forced to withdraw his fist and sidestepped to avoid the black blood.
Hiss, hiss hiss...
The black blood that the opponent spat this time landed on the ground, instantly corroding a large patch of the floor and emitting wisps of black smoke.
Shen Ba Nian, Xue Qiao'er, Luo Dexuan, and the others also caught a whiff of an extremely unpleasant and pungent odor.
"???"
"!!!"
"..."
In an instant, the few of them were stunned.
Shen Ba Nian and Shen Ba Yue's initial anxiety and worry froze.
Taking advantage of Qin Yi's evasion, the old woman did not hesitate, turned around, and fled towards the door.
Her speed was faster than that of an ordinary master martial artist. In a flash, she reached the doorway.
"Want to run? Not so easy!"
Qin Yi let out a cold snort. His figure flickered as if he had teleported, and he appeared directly in front of the old woman, blocking her path.
The old woman was forced to stop, looking at Qin Yi with a mixture of anger and resentment: "We have no enmity, why are you opposing me?"
"We indeed have no enmity, but you harmed others, and that is unacceptable!"
Qin Yi didn't want to waste more words with her. With a wave of his right hand, a surge of true qi condensed into an energy blast, heading towards the old woman's abdomen.
Bang.
The old woman couldn't evade it and was hit squarely. Her body was sent flying back into the inner room along with the large door.
And, by a strange coincidence, she landed right at the feet of Doctor Hua.
The next moment, before anyone could react, the old woman sprang up like a carp, grabbed Doctor Hua by the neck, and said fiercely to Qin Yi, "Let me go, or I'll kill him!"
Shen Ba Nian and Shen Ba Yue's eyes widened, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets.
Xue Qiao'er and Luo Dexuan were also shocked and incredulous. They couldn't understand how a seemingly frail old lady had suddenly become so agile!
"You, you what do you want, let me go..."
At this moment, Doctor Hua, being held hostage, was so terrified that his soul had almost left his body. He trembled like a sieve.
The old woman, however, ignored him. Her bulging eyes were fixed solely on Qin Yi.
Qin Yi let out a cold laugh, completely unfazed.
If the hostage were someone else, he might have hesitated. But for this scoundrel of a doctor Hua, he didn't care that much!
Thus, he moved again, instantly appearing beside the old woman.
The old woman's face paled in alarm, and she made to tighten her grip, intending to crush Doctor Hua's neck.
In that instant, Doctor Hua clearly felt his neck tighten, and an unbearable sense of death arose!
Fortunately, just as the old woman was about to crush his neck, Qin Yi punched her abdomen again.
"Ah!"
A scream echoed from the room as the old woman's frail body flew to the other side of the bed and landed on the floor.
Doctor Hua felt his neck loosen and his breathing return to normal. He slumped to the ground, gasping for air.
After taking another punch from Qin Yi, the old woman fell to the ground and couldn't get up!
The next second, she opened her mouth, and a black, baby-arm-thick, approximately twenty-centimeter-long, completely hairless worm wriggled out!
Once out, the worm quickly crawled towards the door.
Qin Yi flicked his finger, and a beam of white light pierced a hole through the worm, causing it to collapse there, motionless. Large amounts of black blood flowed from the wound!
"What is this thing, ah..."
Doctor Hua's face turned deathly pale at the sight. He retreated on the ground repeatedly.
A moment later, a pool of yellow liquid flowed from his crotch.
He had wet himself from fear!
Qin Yi looked at him and shook his head. The man was a doctor, and according to what Shen Ba Nian and the others had said earlier, he was even a descendant of Hua Tuo...
If that were true, he was truly disgracing Hua Tuo!
Qin Yi walked over, picked up the now limp and motionless old woman from the ground, placed her on a nearby chair, and then channeled some true qi into her to nourish her body!
After a moment, the old woman slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the chaotic room, she appeared utterly bewildered.
Qin Yi turned to Shen Ba Nian and Shen Ba Yue, who were still in a daze, and said, "Your mother is truly fine now. Come and see her!"
Hearing this, the two snapped back to reality and walked to the sides of the chair.
Before they could say anything, the old woman asked them, "Ba Nian, Ba Yue, what happened?"
"Mom, don't you remember what happened just now?" Shen Ba Nian blurted out.
"What happened just now?" The bewilderment on the old woman's face deepened.
"As I said, your mother was controlled by that poisonous worm. Her actions just now were not her own!"
Qin Yi pointed at the pool of black blood on the ground.
In this short time, the large worm had completely dissolved into blood!
As the worm turned into blood, the room filled with a foul, pungent, and chilling odor.
"This room is uninhabitable. We should go out first!"
