Chapter 12: Even If You Beg Me, I Won't Let You Go

The collapse of the clubhouse caused quite a stir, but the area nearby had already been cleared by the Zhenling Bureau, so there was no need to worry about involving ordinary people.

Amidst a cloud of dust, several figures rushed out from the ruins.

They were met by a series of invisible, sharp Slashes; the members of the All-Gods Sect who had just rushed out of the ruins had no time to react, their lives instantly taken, and their bodies were shredded by the barrage of Slashes, with scattered organs mixed into a pool of blood falling to the ground.

Seeing this, the two Investigators looked at Jiang Qin with a flicker of fear in their eyes.

This kid is truly ruthless; he doesn't even spare the corpses. Just how much hatred does he have for evil?

Ji Xue patted Jiang Qin on the head: "We still need to leave two alive to take back for interrogation; you are not allowed to use your special ability anymore."

"Fine."

Jiang Qin curled his lips.

Two more figures rushed out from the ruins, one a woman in a red dress and the other a two-meter-tall burly man; the surging Spirit Energy around their bodies clearly marked them as experts of the third-tier Spirit Sea Realm.

At a glance, they were the bosses of this stronghold.

"Leave that woman to me, none of you interfere!"

Without giving the others a chance to react, Jiang Qin chased in the direction the red-dressed woman was fleeing, his speed extremely fast.

Relying on the Wind-Riding Step he had just learned, the distance between the two was visibly shortening.

Seeing that there was only one Spirit-Induction Realm pursuer, the red-dressed woman simply stopped running; she stood on the ridge of a roof, preparing to deal with this pestering ant first.

She covered her mouth and smiled, her voice enchanting: "Little brother, I am just an innocent, weak woman; why are you pestering me like this? Won't you let me go? If you do, I will surely offer myself to you later."

Her words carried a trace of seductive power, making one unable to resist wanting to believe them.

This trick, which had always worked on men in the past, only made Jiang Qin's eyes daze for a split second before he immediately regained his clarity, his Spirit Power gathering frantically in his right fist as he struck mercilessly toward the woman.

The red-dressed woman's expression held surprise; she had intended to catch this punch.

But a sense of lethality enveloped her heart.

Years of experience made her subconsciously dodge the punch, but even so, the shockwave of the fist sent her flying, smashing heavily into an empty restaurant.

The building that faced the fist head-on collapsed with a boom!

The red-dressed woman, who had stood up from inside the restaurant, was a bit dumbfounded.

No, she had only been locked in prison for two months; were the Spirit-Induction Realm Martial Artists outside this strong now?

This was more than a thousand-pound punch; it was likely ten thousand pounds!

Seeing Jiang Qin waving his fist and rushing toward her again, the red-dressed woman hurriedly increased her charm, her dress strap slipping inadvertently from her snowy jade shoulder.

"Little brother, you hit me so hard~"

"What kind of grudge could be so deep that we must resort to violence? Let's sit down and find a place to have a good chat, okay~"

And quite obviously, her trick failed again.

However, this time she had no chance to escape, because a smarter Jiang Qin used his Slash again to block the woman's retreat, and while she was panicked, he slammed a heavy punch into her abdomen.

Blood sprayed, and the woman flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

She struggled to crawl up from the ground, unable to believe that she had actually been defeated by a brat in the Spirit-Induction Realm.

"Who, who exactly are you? As long as it's a man, he will have desires for women; why did my tricks fail on you..."

"Desire?" Jiang Qin walked over step by step, sneering: "Do you think your filthy body can shake my conviction? If I cannot even resist this bit of temptation, how can I firm my path of Martial Arts?"

When one's conviction is strong enough, mere temptation is not worth mentioning.

Fear appeared in the depths of the red-dressed woman's eyes, and her body could not help but retreat.

"Let, let me go; as long as you let me go, I can give you many cultivation resources. Whether you want money or cultivation techniques and martial arts, I can give them to you, please..."

"Heh."

The youth's expression was disdainful, unmoved.

"You should have thought of this day when you started doing evil; now is the time for you to face retribution. Even if you beg me, I will not let you go!"

To prevent this woman from playing any tricks, Jiang Qin mercilessly severed her limbs.

She was a Spirit Sea Realm Martial Artist after all, so he believed she shouldn't die that easily; if he accidentally killed her, then that could only be blamed on the woman's bad luck.

The woman's screams echoed throughout the entire street.

10 minutes later.

In front of the collapsed All-Gods Sect stronghold, the two-meter-tall burly man had already been taken down by Ji Xue and her team; after his dantian was crippled, he was tossed into the trunk of a car like a dead dog.

The remaining Investigators were counting the numbers and confirming the identities of these All-Gods Sect members.

Of course, most of the corpses were already too shattered to be identified; who knew how many pieces their faces had been cut into.

Suddenly.

Hearing the commotion, everyone looked in the same direction in unison.

They saw Jiang Qin dragging the red-dressed woman back by her hair with one hand.

Only, the miserable state of this red-dressed woman was too much to look at.

Not only were all her limbs severed, but she was bleeding everywhere, leaving a red trail of dragging on the ground; there was no telling how far he had dragged her.

These Zhenling Bureau Investigators considered themselves ruthless.

But they felt that in front of this youth, they were simply as innocent as a child who had just learned to walk.

To be able to slaughter a Spirit Sea Realm expert while in the Spirit-Induction Realm, he was truly a monster!

Ji Xue looked sideways, her tone flat: "I remember I told you to leave someone alive, didn't I?"

Hearing this, Jiang Qin grinned.

"I remember, so that's why I left her with a breath; but you had better take her for treatment quickly, otherwise I'm afraid even that breath will be gone."

"..."

The Public Security team arrived at the scene shortly after and began acting as cleanup personnel, clearing away the traces of the battle.

As a stronghold that the All-Gods Sect had developed for many years, an Investigator successfully discovered treasure in the basement.

Several cultivation manuals, medicinal pills for cultivation, and a group of innocent women captured to serve as tools for venting, most of whom had already breathed their last.

The Investigator registered their identities with a blank expression, evidently already accustomed to this.

She had even experienced bloodier scenes before, and it was precisely for this reason that members of the God-Worshipping Sect were shouted at and beaten by all factions, like rats crossing the street.

Ji Xue returned to the off-road vehicle and tossed two small porcelain bottles and two cultivation manuals to Jiang Qin.

"The rules of the Zhenling Bureau only require the mission to be completed; there is no regulation stating that illicit gains must be turned in. You made the greatest contribution this time, so these are the 'illicit gains' allocated to you."

"This good?"

Jiang Qin was somewhat surprised; wouldn't that mean this Investigator position is actually a lucrative job?

He also knew what the liquid inside the small porcelain bottles was.

It was Refining Spirit Liquid, which only Martial Artists in the Spirit Sea Realm would use for cultivation; after consumption, it could further refine the Spirit Sea within the body, making the Spirit Energy more pure, thereby allowing one to hold more advantages when facing enemies of the same realm.

As for these two cultivation manuals, they were merely C-grade Attack Martial Skills and were of little use to him; he could sell them later.

Ji Xue nodded calmly: "Although this job is indeed detested by others, there is certainly no shortage of cultivation resources. Moreover, as long as one is a Martial Artist, they are under the jurisdiction of the Zhenling Bureau and can act first and report later."

With things put this way, if Jiang Qin still couldn't react, he would truly be a fool.

To go to such lengths to make him understand the work of the Zhenling Bureau, and even let him personally experience the benefits.

She was practically telling Jiang Qin directly to join the Zhenling Academy.

However, to regulate all Martial Artists and act first and report later... such power certainly sounded very alluring!
