Chapter 370: The Grievance of the Ocean's Tear

Although there were nearly two hundred people surrounding them, in reality, the number they had to face at any one time was not large, only about a dozen or so.

For the super-powerful Qin Jian and the agile and ruthless Hu Liena, dealing with the attacks of a dozen people simultaneously was not too difficult.

Very quickly, twenty or thirty people lay fallen at their feet.

"Don't any of you engage them for too long! Strike once and retreat, take turns, and wear them out!"

But these people were no fools; they wouldn't just let Qin Jian and the other slaughter them, and they quickly changed their tactics.

Striking and retreating, changing the attacking group every minute—this was truly disgusting.

Among those here, no one possessed integrity or moral character; all sorts of low-down, dirty tricks would be used.

"Nana! Let's split up!"

Qin Jian suddenly let out a low shout, holding his Dragon Spear, and lunged forward like an Arrow; the Silver Dragon Spear's radiance carried him straight ahead, stopping only after piercing through the bodies of three people.

"They've split up! Get that woman first!"

Just as Qin Jian had expected, this group would take the obviously weaker Hu Liena as their primary target; this way, the pressure on him while charging and killing outside was much reduced.

"That woman, don't you see your man has abandoned you and run away? Why not surrender already!"

The howling voices reached her ears; Hu Liena held the Qing Sword in her right hand and a short sword reversed in her left, the two swords working in tandem with agile footwork, and for a time, she did not let anyone get close.

When Qin Jian suddenly said they should split up, she had felt a moment of worry, fearing she would be abandoned.

But the next moment, this thought was completely banished, because in her eyes, Qin Jian, even if a bit of a playboy and a bit of a jerk, was truly an incredibly reliable man; he would never trade a woman for his own life.

The pressure became greater and greater, but she remained unshakably convinced.

"Push harder, this woman is at her limit!"

The ghostly wailing and wolf-howling around her grew closer, while Qin Jian's figure grew further away; Hu Liena's hands were trembling slightly.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

But just at this moment, rays of spear radiance suddenly exploded around her, piercing through all those Fallen Ones who thought they were about to seize Hu Liena, turning them into corpses.

"Hoo, hoo..."

Qin Jian panted slightly as he stood back-to-back with Hu Liena: "Are you alright?"

"I'm alright, it's just that my soul power is about to be exhausted."

A flash of surprise passed through Hu Liena's eyes: "What ability is this of yours?"

"Teleportation to my martial soul..."

Qin Jian said in a low voice: "It's a pity you can't use it, otherwise we could use many types of cooperative tactics."

A round of rescue erupted, and a dozen corpses fell around them.

The crowd was slightly stunned.

Because they only now realized that in just a short time, during that burst of Qin Jian's charging and killing, nearly half of the people around them had fallen.

"Is this man... a devil?" someone muttered.

"Don't retreat! He must be at the end of his rope now!"

Someone was roaring as they charged forward.

The others likewise did not hesitate much, all knowing that this was a rare opportunity.

Furthermore, they were desperate criminals to begin with; they could restrain themselves when the gap in strength was large, but now that it was clearly a chance to kick someone while they were down, how could they give it up?

Very quickly, they overcame the fear in their hearts one by one and surrounded them again.

This time, Qin Jian and Hu Liena had a much harder time dealing with them than before, because their states were already terrible.

Especially Qin Jian, whose soul power had bottomed out and whose Spirit Power was overdrawn, his brain reeling with waves of dizziness.

"I only just let her go to sleep, would it be too embarrassing to call out to her now..."

Qin Jian thought helplessly.

"Hum hum!"

Just as his vision was gradually blacking out and he could only rely on his body's instincts to fight, a deep blue radiance suddenly emanated from between his brows, and a cool, water-like power entered his mind directly, refreshing his spirit.

It was the... Ocean's Tear, which he had almost failed to remember!

If the Ocean's Tear had its own consciousness, it would surely feel very aggrieved.

It was clearly meant for restoring Spirit Power and enhancing endurance in battle, yet it didn't know what its big-jerk master was using it for...

At the same time, in the distant Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong, who was practicing diligently, also had the space between her brows light up.

"Hmph, you playboy! You big jerk!"

The beautiful girl had clearly also misunderstood what Qin Jian was doing right now...

"Sss..."

It wasn't just his Spirit Power; even his soul power began to recover at this moment.

"Is that... Na'er?"

The recovery of his soul power was, of course, thanks to the Silver Dragon Spear's active absorption and refinement.

"You're awake again?" Qin Jian said with some pleasant surprise.

The girl: "..."

Qin Jian realized: "You weren't asleep at all?"

"It's too dangerous here, and collecting the power of the Spirit is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth; I... was a little worried about you."

This sentence was equivalent to an admission.

"Thank you..."

Qin Jian said softly in his heart.

At this moment, his entire spirit was restored, his soul power recovered, and his state was directly back to eighty percent.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The attackers, who had originally thought victory was within their grasp, were dumbfounded; a moment ago, Qin Jian had been like a small boat in a great wave, ready to be capsized at any time.

But the next moment, he had turned into an aircraft carrier, the kind that could not be sunk no matter how you tried to capsize it!

Hu Liena struggled to hold her ground to protect Qin Jian's back, while Qin Jian fought with wide, sweeping movements, the radiance of the Silver Dragon Spear flashing and casting a brilliant glow.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

More and more people fell, and fewer and fewer remained standing; at some point, the fighting simply stopped...

Because the only ones left standing in the arena were Qin Jian and Hu Liena!

"We... killed them all?" Hu Liena asked, somewhat dazed.

"Mm, killed them all," Qin Jian nodded.

"Oh..."

Hu Liena's vision went black, and she collapsed completely into Qin Jian's arms.

"We should leave here quickly; your soul power may be inexhaustible, but that treasure on your forehead cannot endlessly restore your Spirit Power, and it will be troublesome if you get caught in another siege."

Na'er's voice entered his heart.

Qin Jian nodded, waiting for the Silver Dragon Spear to absorb all the Spirit energy before carrying Hu Liena in one arm and holding the Silver Dragon Spear in the other, walking toward the complex of buildings not far away.

He knew that many gazes were still focused on him, so he did not put away the Silver Dragon Spear.

Amidst the pools of blood covering the ground, the man carried the woman, walking past with the spear held in one hand.

All around, there was absolute silence.

The fighting and struggling within a radius of several hundred meters had vanished; everyone was quietly watching this place, waiting for the final result while also seeing if there was a chance to pick up scraps.

Yet the scene before their eyes truly exceeded their understanding; two people... oh no, one person killing two hundred people—what kind of terrifying spectacle was this?

They certainly did not think this was a feat achieved by two people together; for this battle to turn out this way, at least 80% could be attributed to Qin Jian.

If it weren't for that Dragon Spear of his being so sharp, if it weren't for his immense endurance in battle, and if it weren't for his bizarre Teleportation, the two of them could never have achieved this.

Just like that, under the gaze of countless eyes, Qin Jian, covered in blood, walked slowly into the building complex, heading toward his assigned dwelling.

And during this time, no one dared to approach within a hundred meters of him.

This was the first time someone had gained such a deterrent force upon first entering Slaughter City...
