Boy, you're on fire!

  The Water Margin lists the names of these three men as:

  "Grandma, Ding Dake, Zhao Ling'er."

  "What the...?!" Fang Xian's expression changed from calmness to desperation, "What are they doing?! How can we fight them?"

  "Here's the thing, today Grandma and that Mr. Ding... were exhausted... they were exhausted all day, and then Mr. Ding suddenly came down with a waist injury, to the point where even walking was very difficult. Grandma and Sister Ling'er are taking care of him."

  "Huff...". Fang Xian spat again, if he wasn't mistaken, this was his seventh time spitting in the past 24 hours. When spitting became a habit, it didn't hurt as much anymore.

  Fang Xian turned back and scolded angrily: "Old thing, your brain is rotten, how can you still bring two combat units to take care of him? Go quickly and call Granny and Ling'er to come and assist in the battle..."

  Just as Fang Xian was halfway through his conversation, he saw Ling'er and her grandmother walking towards him with Ding Dabao.

  "No need to call out, this is my territory, I'm in charge." Old Master Ding clutched his waist, despite the pained expression, his face still retained some air of authority.

  "This is really my Diding Bear..." Grandma supported Ding Daobo with a face full of reverence.

  "Fang Xian clutched his head in pain and cursed: 'A sense of urgency, a sense of crisis, can't you feel it!!'"

  "Wait, why didn't you spit this time? When you heard Dindin Bear, you should have 'pounced' on it."

  "Get out, when did you learn to be sarcastic? Thanks for your character setting."

  God is always watching you, my child, dry dad!

  The brief pause came to an end, and Old Master Ding shook his head, knocking on his old waist.

  "Alas... I'm getting old, it won't do...". But Ding Dabo quickly withdrew from his sorrowful emotions, "The future belongs to the young - my territory will be protected by my son-in-law with hard work."

  "...Father-in-law, do you know what it's like when you want to scold someone but your mind goes completely blank?"

  "Hey son-in-law, don't panic. Wait for me to pass on the Ding family's martial arts to you, and I guarantee you'll crush those scoundrels." Old Master Ding said, pushing aside Ling'er and Grandma, and began to gather his energy.

  "Brother-in-law, the enemy is less than a hundred meters away from us. Are you going to teach me the Ding family's martial arts in this life or the next?"

  "Don't be impatient, take a good look first. Let me pass on to you the Ding family's Mountain Splitting Palm..." As soon as Old Master Ding finished speaking, he slowly extended his palm, and his waist flashed again, "Ah yo..."

  Note: You have mastered the complete set of Ding family martial arts, and learned the "bare-handed chopping dry firewood with ease" palm technique. Other techniques will be naturally acquired as you progress in your practice.

  "...... Although I'm used to learning martial arts this way, ......", Fang Xian cursed loudly as he looked up, "What the hell kind of move is this, you damn old man!"

  After finishing his meal, Fang Xian looked at Grandmaster and asked: "Grandmaster, can you still fight with the remaining strength in your body?"

  "Of course, I'm almost bursting with energy."

  "May I ask what magic you know, so I can arrange the tactics? Please speak quickly, Grandma, and don't make so many expressions. The Black Miao people are about to arrive."

  Ling'er chimed in with a smile: "Grandma is so fierce! She can transform 72 times!"

  "Oh?" Fang Xian's heart was filled with joy, finally a good news had appeared. "Can it transform into something powerful? A rhinoceros, an elephant or a phoenix?"

  Ling'er laughed and said, "Grandma is even more formidable than this. She can turn into a 70-year-old grandma, a 60-year-old grandma, a 50-year-old grandma, a 49-year-old grandma..."

  "... " hesitated for a moment, at this time not to "pounce" was really too suffocating.

  "Plop..."

  The black-haired youth was still running towards this side, having already run for two minutes at a distance of about 100 meters. The old man seemed to have some conscience and decided to help Fang Xian out a bit, giving him more time to prepare.

  Those who should have spoken out have all spoken, knowing that this battle can't be relied on the old couple, so they pulled over Ling'er and said in a low voice: "Ling'er, at critical moments we still have to rely on ourselves."

  Ling nodded with a smile, still without any sense of crisis: "Mm! Idle brother says, how do we fight?"

  "What spells can you cast now."

  "I think... " Zhao Ling'er's finger was stuck on her chin, with a innocent face, "Basic five elements single-target attack skills - [Wind Curse], [Fire Curse], [Thunder Curse], [Earth Curse], [Ice Curse]; Basic healing spell [Guanyin Curse]; Basic negative status removal skill [Ice Heart Technique], that's all."

  "How long can your spiritual power last?"

  "This idle brother doesn't need to worry, we have all the elixirs ready, and this idle brother can be considered as having infinite magical power."

  "Hmm..." Fang Xian pondered for a moment, then asked, "I recall you having a move called 【Dream Snake】, which allows you to transform into a snake form and greatly increase your combat strength."

  "Ah...... I don't want you to know......" Zhao Ling'er pinched the hem of her clothes, "The snake transformation will burst my clothes, it's not pretty..."

  "Wrap it up as much as possible... for the sake of Miao's medical skills... no, for the sisters of Suigetsu Palace."

  "Alright! If Brother Xian doesn't mind me, I'll transform!"

  As soon as the words were spoken, Ling'er broke the seal and her body underwent a drastic transformation. Her legs turned into a serpent's tail, while her upper body remained human in shape. Her stature suddenly increased by a lot. The two braids that had been tied up earlier also came undone, and her long hair fluttered about, giving off an aura of a demonic woman descending upon the world.

  "Wait..." Fang Xian quickly pulled out a fishing net from his bag and wrapped it around Zhao Ling'er's body, barely covering her vital parts. He instructed, "Remember, next time you transform, wrap the net around yourself first. If someone sees you naked, you'll be at a disadvantage, and I'll be even more disadvantaged."

  Zhao Ling'er clapped her hands and laughed: "Xian Gege's heart is so small!"

  Fang Xian shook his head and sighed, wanting this silly girl to have a sense of crisis. This lifetime is hopeless.

  "Grandma, help Brother Diding bear go back and rest, we'll take care of things here."

  "Oh? You also call him Dingding Xiong, I think this name is quite good."

  Grandma and Uncle Ding had done all they could, and there was nothing more to be done, but neither of them wanted to leave just yet, so they sat down on the side to watch.

  Fang Xian in front, Ling Er behind, standing on the small bridge, resolutely defending to the death.

  Fortunately, the bridge is very narrow and can only accommodate two people passing through. According to the setting, the Black Miao people dare not cross from the water on the side. The combat mechanism of Xianjian will not cause too exaggerated gang fights, let alone these middle-aged people are just mediocre middle-aged people, their strength is not exaggerated, full state Zhang Si + Meng She state Zhao Ling'er + Nai Dali MM team + Side wing auxiliary MM team + Dragon suit A secret weapon team + Dingding Xiong Tutu LaLa team...

  In short, there is still a chance of winning, as long as you can hold on.

  "Suí Yuè, lead Team One to guard the sides and assist us in battle. Tiān Lán, lead Team Two to guard our rear and be ready to provide healing and support at any time. Dragon Suit A, prepare the secret weapon and wait for my order."

  "Yes."

  "Yes."

  "Yes."

  Fang Xian's right hand tightly grasped the mountain-opening axe, while his left hand held Zhao Ling'er.

  "We can't lose!"

  The boy, you're on fire.

  "Get out."
