Chapter 360: Chapter 359: I Don’t Want to Endure
What do only dogs eat?
Bones.
What bones does Han Yun City want from Xu Lingjun?
Could it be...
Zhou Qianmo suddenly recalled the Terminator System activated by the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion. Once the Terminator System is activated, the entire ice layer shatters, and the creatures underwater are completely eradicated.
Without the obstruction of those Headhunter Piranhas, can they freely explore underwater and then... find something...
Could it be that Han Yun City actually wants to...
"You dare, brat!!!"
Zhou Qianmo’s eyes turned blood-red instantly, and a surge of anger overwhelmed all rationality.
He was about to rush out when Han Qingxue pulled him back.
Han Qingxue urgently said, "Pavilion Master, what are you doing? Don’t you know you entered the Imperial Capital secretly? Right now is a sensitive period. We need to keep low profile until I find a perfect scapegoat to take the blame... you must not expose yourself, understand?"
"Do you know what they’re planning to do?"
Zhou Qianmo glared with blood-red eyes, staring intensely at Han Qingxue.
The bloodshot, angry gaze was like a fierce beast cornered to the end of its path, making Han Qingxue’s heart turn cold, causing her to instinctively step back with fear.
No matter how deep her mind, she was still just an ordinary person. Facing an enraged Upper Realm Grandmaster was like facing a fierce beast whose cub had been taken, making her instinctively fearful.
"No, I absolutely won’t allow it!"
Zhou Qianmo resolutely turned to rush out.
"Stop him!"
Han Qingxue ordered.
Immediately, more than a dozen battle-hardened guards emerged, blocking Zhou Qianmo’s path.
But Zhou Qianmo didn’t stop, only casually struck with a palm; majestic Blade Qi swept through with no mournful wails nor cries of agony. Even those well-tempered weapons couldn’t withstand the might of this Blade Qi; both person and weapon were cut in two...
Entrails and blood flooded the ground.
Thousand Slaughter Blade Technique, Supreme Level Martial Skill.
Zhou Qianmo had gained much enlightenment from Xu Lingjun’s cultivation tips back in the day, and its power was now even greater, surpassing any divine weapon or sharp tool even when barehanded.
Having slain everyone, he leapt out, so fast that even Han Qingxue couldn’t catch up.
Han Qingxue stared fiercely at Zhou Qianmo’s departing figure, feeling an immense weight in her heart...
Zhou Qianmo’s sudden appearance, coupled with his direct aim at Xu Lingjun.
This easily evokes associations with the previous murder case.
The motives of Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City were clear: they wanted to lure Zhou Qianmo out... As long as he came out and attacked the two, his presence could immediately be linked to the previous incidents.
Especially since Zhou Qianmo had rushed out from within his own residence.
If anyone realized this fact,
Then she...
Han Qingxue’s pupils contracted sharply as she shouted loudly, "Quickly get Zhu Zhengdao to come to my residence, tell him I have urgent business to instruct him, hurry!!!"
"Yes!"
A new guard rushed in, seeing the bloody scene outside the courtyard, urgently nodded in response, and then turned to leave.
Meanwhile.
Zhou Qianmo had long since rushed out of Han Mansion.
He wasn’t unaware of what this rush out meant...
But his grandson was dead, his son too, and he was already old, the Zhou family truly without heirs.
He could endure.
But why bear it?
For power?
Is power so important that he could watch the bones of his beloved grandson covered in the bite marks of those contemptible things?
Seeing Xiaomu gnawed to pieces by those beasts...
Even just thinking about it, Zhou Qianmo couldn’t help but want to cry out in despair.
But his resolve was firm, so he forcibly suppressed the pain and replaced it with even greater determination.
He must recover Xiaomu’s remains...
If it was for power, as the Pavilion Master of Nanyun Martial Mansion, his status was esteemed. Even if faced with the ruler of a country, he would receive proper courtesy, descending from the high clouds to this state, all for what?
Isn’t it to let Xiaomu rest in peace...
Rescue him, kill those two wretched dogs.
Then take Xiaomu’s remains and leave the Great Xia Empire. With his power as an Upper Realm Grandmaster, where wouldn’t he be treated well?
Thinking this, his heart became as firm as iron.
But in just a few dozen breaths of time.
He had already rushed to the previous gathering place of the two... but now the table was empty, only scraps remaining, the two nowhere to be seen.
"Where did they go?"
Zhou Qianmo’s hair stood on end, his heart a moment of coldness.
Intimidated by Zhou Qianmo’s lingering power, the shopkeeper trembled, pointing with fear in a direction.
Zhou Qianmo leapt and pursued.
Indeed, not far away...
He saw someone ahead carrying a black bag, walking forward.
Seemingly aware of the sound of the wind behind.
That person turned back...
And revealed a face covered in steel.
Was it that strange battle armor?
But having personally seen Xu Lingjun wearing the battle armor, Zhou Qianmo knew from one glance...
Isn’t it Xu Lingjun?
Upon seeing Zhou Qianmo, Xu Lingjun didn’t seem surprised; a mocking smile appeared on the anthropomorphic surface of the battle armor, and then, with acceleration from the thrusters, he charged forward carrying the black bag.
"Stop!!!"
Zhou Qianmo roared in anger, clearly seeing that with Xu Lingjun’s movement, a small opening appeared in the bag, revealing the gleaming white bones inside.
It’s Xiaomu’s...
He leapt to chase.
As an Upper Realm Grandmaster, his strength was peerless.
His speed was such that even with the specially modified battle armor, it was still far inferior. If not for the nimbleness of the armor, he would have caught up in just a few seconds.
But the armor’s twisting and turning had already driven it into a sparsely populated area.
Yet the distance between them was closing... he was about to catch up.
Passing a cross junction,
As Zhou Qianmo chased straight ahead, suddenly, a surge of Blood Qi emerged from the side.
This Blood Qi surged like a tidal wave, overwhelmingly powerful.
It was as if a basin of blood was being poured upon Zhou Qianmo, not leaving even a slit open.
Zhou Qianmo remained unmoved, his heart unafraid; with a casual wave, thousands of Blade Qi formed at his fingertips, scattering as if in a moment, evaporating the Blood Qi completely.
But even though the Blood Qi cleared, a fierce beast behind the Blood Qi let out a silent roar, lunging straight at him, its blood-colored body blending entirely with the Blood Qi. Once the Blood Qi was evaporated, its form instead appeared even more solid...
Lunging at Zhou Qianmo’s neck.
Zhou Qianmo dodged, again seeing Xu Lingjun’s figure receding in this obstacle.
He could no longer bother with his entangler, pursuing once more after the person coming.
"Hahahaha... Zhou Qianmo, didn’t you want to avenge your grandson? When I sank him into the dark depths of the ice river, he cried out, calling that his grandfather would surely avenge him!"
Han Yun City’s laughter rang out.
Laughing loudly, "But what are you doing? Your grandson’s killer is right in front of you, will you let him down?"
Already fed up with those weakling demon beasts... now finally an extremely powerful opponent has come.
No, it’s prey.
To hunt a prey of such strength far superior to them, even seemingly impossible to succeed, instead stirred Han Yun City’s excitement.
Missing with a single strike.
Blood Qi around him grew even more intense, in just two short moves, his strength surged several times, and True Qi increased to its peak.
Evidently, under the pressure of a formidable enemy, the sole flaw of the Emperor Blood Heaven Slayer, requiring to grow stronger with continued fighting, had been compensated.
Blood Qi not only manifested as weapons but could also transform into wild beasts.
Chasing closely behind Zhou Qianmo...
Numerous blood blades lashed like stormy gales, directly striking at Zhou Qianmo’s vital points.
Yet Zhou Qianmo’s eyes were cold; this one’s breakthrough into the Profound Realm... his strength was indeed powerful.
But so what, once I recover Xiaomu’s corpse, I will obliterate you in the first instant, sending you to accompany Xiaomu!
This was a trap.
Zhou Qianmo knew... but he wasn’t afraid; absolute strength gave him absolute confidence.
He had full confidence that he would retrieve the remains, kill those two wretched dogs, and avenge Xiaomu!!!
