Chapter 139: Who Stole My Level 6 Energy Fluid

Old Wang took the lead, Qin Shi walked behind, one holding a map and pointing out the direction; the other keeping watch over the surroundings, carefully guarding against outlaws who might burst out.

These uninhabited areas outside the main city of the Taian Metropolitan Area were more like abandoned towns, with empty streets, shops on both sides that were long unrepaired with tattered signboards, and a maze of narrow alleys.

Many desperate criminals, or those carrying murder charges, were willing to hide and survive here.

They each divided their territories, even establishing gang-like organizations, forming dark kingdoms similar to the "Li World."

The commotion from the earlier fight attracted much attention; Qin Shi, with his senses pushed to the maximum, caught several footsteps and breathing rhythms of varying strengths.

They were lurking in the dark like hyenas, observing their prey, waiting for an opportunity to swarm and pounce.

Criminals forced to hide in the Forbidden Zone were all ruthless villains who would wipe out entire families at the drop of a hat.

Killing law enforcement officers weighed nothing on their minds; after all, being captured and brought to justice meant a death sentence anyway.

Qin Shi called out:

"Brother Jie."

Old Wang's perception was equally sharp; he sensed danger and his nerves were taut:

"What?"

Qin Shi asked:

"If a fight breaks out later, you should be able to protect yourself, right?"

Old Wang's face twitched; after all, he had over sixty points of Life Force Development and wouldn't sink to the point of being protected by a high school student.

"Young Master Qin, go ahead and do it boldly, don't worry about me."

He said confidently.

When it came to survival skills, few in the Inspection Department could compare to him!

"Good."

Qin Shi nodded, flashing like a wisp of breeze and vanishing from the spot in an instant.

He tapped his foot and rushed into the deep alley on the right, striking out like a sharp blade.

Immediately after, Old Wang heard short, fast fighting sounds, mixed with the crashing of doors and windows and heavy objects smashing into walls.

In less than half a minute, Qin Shi strode out, refreshed, patted his hands, and called Old Wang to continue forward.

The latter asked curiously:

"Young Master Qin, how did you deal with those people?"

"Following the action manual, all executed on the spot."

Qin Shi replied.

Wow!

Young Master Qin is a ruthless man!

Old Wang felt a chill in his heart; he had seen strong hands who killed like cutting grass.

But someone as young as Qin Shi, shedding blood to eliminate harm and take lives without any psychological burden, was indeed rare.

"Brother Jie, are there still rewards for the Heng Jian Operation?"

Qin Shi's gaze swept over the Stele Panel; the progress of the advanced 【Guo Sheng Zhang】 achievement had been pulled to half.

He thought to himself that these forbidden zones where criminals gathered and outlaws ran rampant were actually good places for "grinding monsters."

"Hmm. Generally, those conscripted or responding to the Inspection Department's law enforcement activities as non-regular personnel are divided into several types; for example, Qin De, whom Young Master Qin killed, was a mid-to-high level executive at a security company."

According to regulations, major security companies have an obligation to assist the Inspection Department in handling cases, so they actively participate to maintain good relations with the authorities.

There are also senior students from top universities who join for training, accumulating experience, or even gilding their resumes.

As for the rest, most just want to extend the validity of their permits, lest they expire and become void."

Old Wang could be called an old hand; he knew the ins and outs extremely well.

"But as the saying goes, the Emperor doesn't shortchange hungry soldiers; the Inspection Department is generally willing to offer some sweeteners to stimulate non-regular personnel who won't get up early without profit, such as resource allocation and permit upgrades."

"For example, this Heng Jian Operation is the largest in scale in recent years. If the target expectations are satisfactorily completed, such as sweeping out dens and eliminating criminals, one can receive an internal exchange list from the Inspection Department."

"Don't underestimate it; everything in the Inspection Department's equipment division is a premium product exclusively supplied by San Tan Heavy Industry, far superior to black market counterfeits, and the prices are relatively acceptable."

Qin Shi spread his Qi Mist-like Spiritual Field Power, covering about ten meters around him, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, seeing all movements clearly.

"Apart from completing the expected targets, are there evaluation standards for more excellent performance?"

He asked curiously.

"Delving deeper into dangerous areas, or killing major criminals with higher bounties on the Wanted Order."

Old Wang said while feeling something was wrong.

Young Master Qin wouldn't be thinking...

"So you can earn extra points!"

Qin Shi's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this.

"Brother Jie, for more excellent performance, what other rewards can be obtained?"

Old Wang sweated on his forehead; he originally thought he was coming as a babysitter.

He never expected to become a war correspondent and a walking encyclopedia instead.

"Young Master Qin, you should know that the Inspection Department usually allows non-regular personnel to receive armor, but charged weapons, kinetic weapons, and the like cannot be opened."

"But this Heng Jian Operation has an extremely large number of participants, and there are also many experts, so an additional weapon exchange list has been added."

Qin Shi was quite moved upon hearing this; he had always suffered from not having a suitable weapon at hand.

He greatly admired what Lao Ren said about true martial artists: holding weapons and wearing armor, with no taboos.

"Brother Jie, then let's speed up and try to wipe out the Wild Wolf Gang within twenty minutes!"

Qin Shi rubbed his palms together; he had several combat achievement traits blessing him, so he would only grow braver with each fight and stronger with each battle, completely unafraid of consuming physical ability and Qi Life Force.

"Young Master Qin, we must be cautious above all."

Wang Yongjie was terrified, fearing this young master favored by Chen Ruofu would capsize in the gutter.

"Don't worry. With Brother Jie covering you, what's there to be afraid of!"

Qin Shi looked at Wang Yongjie, his eyes full of sincere trust.

The latter sighed helplessly, secretly deciding that if things went wrong, he'd immediately beat a hasty retreat.

As a result, when they arrived at the Wild Wolf Gang's stronghold, it was once again a scene of utter devastation where everyone had been wiped out.

"White Hair is really immoral! He actually stole my kill!"

Qin Shi instantly became unhappy, stepping into the "criminal nest" that had originally been a large supermarket, abandoned and later converted into a stronghold by the Wild Wolf Gang.

With the Hunter Skill's mark, his gaze quickly locked onto one side of the second floor.

"Not planning to come out and meet us?"

Qin Shi asked aloud.

"You can even be discovered like this. Kid, it seems Zheng Gui that waste didn't lie to me, you do have some skill."

Jiang Zaiyue, with dyed white hair and his face practically writing the two words "arrogant," had a sinister and fierce smile at the corner of his mouth.

The pitch-black object fell like a sandbag, heavily smashing onto the ground.

Following closely behind was Jiang Zaiyue's agile figure.

He was like a naughty child stepping on a water-filled bag, with a crackling sound, he stomped Zheng Gui's body into a pulp.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, truly shocking!

"Still stealing my kill."

Qin Shi's forehead veins twitched slightly, now feeling White Hair truly deserved death.

"Brother Qin, this guy seems not quite right in the head."

Wang Yongjie reminded him in a low voice.

White Hair's nervous laughter and inexplicable evil smile made him think of a certain "biological weapon" rumored in Central City!

"Kid, you're unlucky to run into me. Over forty points of Qi Life Force, killing Qin De and injuring Zheng Gui, worthy of the word genius."

Jiang Zaiyue wiped his head of flamboyant white hair, his expression quite excited, stepping out bloody footprints full of flesh and blood toward Qin Shi.

"Pity, didn't grow up, everything is empty! And I, precisely most enjoy the supreme pleasure of strangling geniuses!"

Qin Shi's expression was very strange, like an abstract brother seen surfing the internet suddenly descending into reality, and right in front of him.

This kind of chuunibyou line, won't your face turn red when you say it?

"Brother White Hair, if I'm not mistaken, your Qi Life Force seems about the same as those two, right."

Qin Shi asked sincerely:

"Then, where does your confidence come from, that you won't be beaten into a dead dog by me?"

If it were other normal elite monsters, they'd probably ignore this probing.

But Jiang Zaiyue was obviously in an abnormal state, and answered very excitedly:

"Don't you know 'Evil Martial Artist'?"

"What?"

Qin Shi didn't catch the line the other person threw, making the atmosphere slightly awkward.

Fortunately Wang Yongjie saved the scene, explaining softly:

"Fortunately obtained ancient inheritance, but took the wrong path of Old Martial Arts. They have no master to guide them, many things not yet understood, then tortured by pain, suffering torment, finally their brains... just broke."

Ancient martial arts madman?

Qin Shi suddenly realized.

The path of Old Martial Arts was indeed full of obstacles and hardships.

Like the Burning Tendons trial, if not for myself relying on 【Deep Sleep】 to avoid it, I'd probably have suffered greatly too.

"Is this kind of Evil Martial Artist strong?"

Qin Shi asked.

"Depends on the inheritance. If the inheritance is powerful, the spirit dominating the Evil Martial Artist's body is even stronger."

Wang Yongjie's eyes showed worry.

If this White Hair was truly an Evil Martial Artist of top-tier inheritance, Brother Qin would probably have difficulty dealing with him.

Although Evil Martial Artists' brains don't work well, they are very concentrated on martial arts.

Especially after dedicating their whole body and mind, their own combat power surges, and they don't fear pain, like a ruthless killing machine.

The Blood Axe Gang and Wild Wolf Gang's two nests being destroyed wasn't because White Hair hated evil like an enemy, but because he was increasing his inner emotions through killing, as a form of excitement.

"You two wild dogs, have you discussed your last words? I'm willing to give you this time. Anyway, within the Forbidden Zone, no one can come rescue you!"

Jiang Zaiyue struck a very cool pose, hands in pockets, waist leaning back in an exaggerated arc, both feet firmly nailed to the ground.

Like a classic stance of an anime character Qin Shi had seen.

"Wait a bit more. We'll consider who says it first."

Qin Shi waved his hand, then whispered to Wang Yongjie:

"Brother Jie, get ready, remember to activate the transmission if things go wrong."

It was his first time hearing of Evil Martial Artists, and he was also a bit unsure.

Looking at White Hair Jiang Zaiyue's "heaven eldest, earth second, I third" arrogant appearance, until now still not beaten to death.

Maybe his strength is very strong?

"Don't test my patience, two ants! The last ten seconds are coming! Who wants to die first?"

Jiang Zaiyue's face full of impatience, killing desire stimulating his eyes to turn red, skin blood vessels bulging, like a ferocious evil beast.

"Respect the old and love the young, I'm young, Big Brother you let me be beaten to death first."

Qin Shi took the first step, acting with utmost solemnity, opening every achievement trait he could.

The Brain seemed to enter overclocking mode, the mist-like spiritual power forming a vortex, constantly absorbing the wandering energy factors from the outside world.

The twelve great tendons writhed and tightened even before the battle began, linking the four limbs and bones, while the Ru Shen Ti's force operation was pushed to the limit, as if heat of over a thousand degrees accumulated within him, nearly cooking his blood flesh tissue.

"Directly enter the final stage! Youth Martial God Mode!"

Qin Shi called this strongest state of giving his all and revealing all his trump cards "Youth Martial God Mode."

Because he felt that even He Lanchan and Qi Wuxiang at seventeen or eighteen years old were at most like this!

"Even a rabbit that bares its teeth is still a rabbit!"

Although Old Jiang sensed Qin Shi's breath soaring within him, he still didn't care.

His own peak eighty points vitality field prototype had not yet been deployed!

As long as he took that bottle of privately carried Level 6 Energy Liquid, he could completely ignore the side effects of injecting the Suppression Agent and directly "lift the seal."

By that time, ten Qin Shis would be dead!

Now, it was nothing more than accompanying him to play a bit more...

Old Jiang licked his lips, the heavy voice like a great bell in his Brain Sea echoing.

Peel off his skin, break his bones, and finally eat his heart!

A genius's heart, eaten into my belly, might increase my comprehension and aptitude!

"Come..."

Old Jiang suppressed the strong impulse to the most unbearable moment, about to suddenly strike!

Unexpectedly, Qin Shi was faster than him!

He stepped down heavily, using He Lanchan's Charge Step technique, with a rumbling explosion, within twenty meters around him, the supermarket's ceramic tile floor all cracked, and even at the center dot, it sank downward by about half an inch.

See how terrifying the power was!

The surging white Air Wave, accompanied by Qin Shi's thunderous flashing upright figure, pushed forward!

His arms were like steel cannons beating, fiercely striking toward Old Jiang's face!

This was like a hurricane rising from flat ground in the supermarket, the cracked and broken tile fragments all shaken to soar into the sky, the momentum extremely shocking!

"What a fierce punch!"

Old Jiang was stunned for a moment, was this the strength a High School Student should possess?

Then his heart jumped wildly, it was already too late to counterattack, he had to block!

All his bones "cracked" with sound, emitting the dense sound of millions of fried beans in a pot.

The two hundred and six bones seemed to gather together, locking, causing Old Jiang's figure to shorten by a section out of thin air.

The whole person was like a thick steel block, completely immovable!

"Bone-Joint Great Limit! He actually broke the limit too!"

Qin Shi narrowed his eyes, in the flash of lightning and stone fire, he saw that Old Jiang was breaking the Bone-Joint Great Limit, one of the benefits acquired!

Dragon Bone Form!

By adjusting bone structure and enhancing density, making it possess stronger defense and attack!

Instant!

Bang!

The huge Roar of a shell landing shook the eardrums until they bulged!

That overwhelming Qi Jin surged one hundred percent into Old Jiang's body, making his whole body muscles ache as if pricked by needles.

He moved backward slowly like a Bulldozer, plowing a deep trench on the hard and flat ceramic tile floor.

His legs as support points unconsciously bent, and not long after, his knees heavily smashed down!

"Careless!"

Old Jiang's eyes were blood red, his Facial Color even turned as red as a big Lobster in a steamer.

He gritted his teeth, savoring the blood threads seeping from his loosened tooth sockets.

Like a violent bear emitting a "shout" roar!

Both arms enduring the pain of broken bones, he forcefully thrust upward, blocking Qin Shi's chopping fist.

Then he sneered and said:

"Played enough with you, it's time for this old master..."

He reached back to touch, his expression suddenly becoming dazed.

Where is my bottle of Level 6 Energy Liquid in the state of lifting the Suppression Agent!

Such a big bottle!

Where did it go?

【Automatic Pickup Judgment Successful】

【Within Suitable Range】

【Picked up one ownerless bottle of Level 6 Energy Liquid】

Qin Shi glimpsed the blurred characters flashing across his Retina, his expression equally subtle.

There was actually such an unexpected Harvest?
