Chapter 41

This is utterly inexplicable.

Who could have known a complete Rat King would suddenly appear before him, with strength even greater than during the pursuit.

This makes no sense.

But no matter how much he thought about it, it was useless.

He... this time, he probably won't be able to escape.

But! It doesn't matter if he can't escape.

But the people in the area he is responsible for behind him absolutely cannot be harmed.

Otherwise, even after dying and entering hell, he would have no face to look upon the predecessors who sacrificed themselves for the human race.

Pulling a red dagger from his bosom, Du Qianxue's eyes flashed with a resolve to sever ties.

Whether facing the Dawn, ferocious beasts, or the insect race from beyond the heavens.

The goal of these demons and monsters has always been the human body.

To them, humans are like walking precious medicines.

The Night Patrol has a saying, carved into their minds the moment they joined.

Even in death, do not let these beasts obtain your body.

For this reason! Everyone possesses a Broken Potential Dagger that unleashes their body's potential!

Sealed upon the dagger is a technique called the Soul-Severing Blade!

Sacrifice one's essence, qi, and spirit!

Use one's life to unleash this skill.

Once the technique is cast, you die and I die too!

The Great Xuan Dynasty.

Is just that unyielding.

Du Qianxue rose, holding the red dagger.

Her gaze was resolute.

Just as she prepared to make a move.

Suddenly, commotion came from the distance.

Du Qianxue froze; it was already early morning.

Is there still someone running here?

"No! Others must not see!"

Du Qianxue's face changed drastically.

Now, even in the Great Xuan Dynasty, everyone can cultivate to become a martial artist.

But for ordinary people, the vast majority of these individuals belong to Tier 1 and Tier 2.

They are of absolutely no use to the Rat King.

Being seen would only mean becoming an extra blood meal.

Du Qianxue directly raised the dagger and thrust it toward her own heart.

However, the red dagger had already pierced through her clothes.

A red beam of light suddenly shone into her eyes.

Causing her expression to become somewhat dazed.

"Foolish woman, what are you doing?"

Qin Beileng's cold voice rang out.

The sudden appearance of Qin Beileng caused both the Rat King and Du Qianxue to turn their gaze toward him.

"Armored man?"

"Cosplay?"

Du Qianxue was somewhat stunned.

After coming to her senses, she shouted loudly toward where Qin Beileng stood.

"Leave quickly! This is not a place you can participate in!"

Qin Beileng stretched, then jumped down from the yellow shared bicycle.

"Leave? Then watch you put on a show and die?"

Qin Beileng's tone was cold, his yellow compound eyes looking at the red dagger in Du Qianxue's hand.

There were two people from the Night Patrol by his side, one of whom was even a boss.

Regarding the affairs of the Night Patrol, he knew a little bit.

Especially about this red dagger.

Whether it was Lin Shu or Uncle Jiang, they each had one by their side.

Young Qin Bei had once asked out of curiosity.

At that time, Lin Shu merely said lightly.

"For spending one's life."

"You leave quickly; judging by your voice, you are only twenty years old. This is not a place you can participate in; leave it to us of the Night Patrol."

Du Qianxue struggled to stand.

But her body swayed unsteadily.

As if she would fall down at any moment.

"Leave? Do you think this fat rat will allow it?"

Qin Bei let out a snort of laughter.

He looked at the fat rat scurrying toward him.

"Leave it to me. I'll take care of it. You'll just have to collect my body afterward."

Du Qianxue said calmly.

"Clean up? Too much trouble. I can't be bothered."

Qin Bei waved his hand.

"You… be careful!"

Du Qianxue had just been about to speak, but the Rat King could no longer wait.

A black afterimage appeared.

It drifted toward Qin Bei and Du Qianxue's bodies.

Its speed was incomparably fast.

Like a bolt of black lightning.

But what happened next left Du Qianxue utterly dumbfounded.

The Rat King lunging at them opened its great maw.

Revealing sharp, pointed teeth.

Its one remaining eye brimmed with savagery.

Just as the Rat King's teeth were about to touch Qin Bei—

Boom!

Qin Bei seized the moment and stepped forward.

A rising dragon strike, straight up.

It landed clean on the Rat King's jaw.

Green blood scattered across the sky!

A few white teeth could be glimpsed among it.

The green blood splattered onto the ground, hissing and sputtering.

The ground began to give off wisps of bluish smoke.

One small crater after another appeared.

If it had landed on a person—

The horrific scene is unimaginable.
