218: Chapter 219 Reverse Hunt: Good News, People Ahead; Bad News, He's Death.
After finishing his ruthless remarks into the communicator in his hand, Lin Qi exerted force with his five fingers.
With a crisp crack.
The metal lump turned into a pile of scrap iron in his hand, which he casually tossed into the air.
As for how furious Li Qingcang was over at the Kyoto underground base, he couldn't be bothered to care.
That old dog dared to send people to take his life; this debt would be collected with interest sooner or later.
Lin Qi turned around and walked back to the edge of the Blood Sacrifice Altar.
The violent true dragon relic blood energy within his body had been completely suppressed, and the remaining medicinal power was being assimilated bit by bit by his Blood Moving Technique.
The dark gold patterns deep within his bones had fully solidified, and the precious light between his skin and flesh had completely receded.
He clenched his fist.
The air between his fingers crackled as he squeezed.
This Physical Body strength had reached a much higher level than before.
The foundation of his Indestructible Golden Body was now firmly established.
He looked down at the corpse of Ying Wan on the ground, which had been smashed into a pulp.
There must still be some good things on this rat.
Lin Qi crouched down and rummaged through the pile of tattered rags.
Under twenty times gravity, Storage Rings were all useless; whatever he could carry on his person had to be hard currency.
After fumbling for a long time, he pulled out an ancient jade piece carved with intricate patterns from a hidden pocket in the corpse's inner clothing.
The jade pendant felt icy cold to the touch, with no trace of System data; it was a miraculous object crafted entirely through physical means.
As soon as he held it, Lin Qi felt a sense of clarity in his mind.
What a good item!
This was definitely a treasure capable of resisting mental attacks.
His physical defense was currently maxed out, but mental defense happened to be a shortcoming; this rat had delivered it right to his door.
Lin Qi unceremoniously stuffed the ancient jade into his pocket and pulled out a few thin needles made of an unknown metal.
Nothing else.
A dignified gold-medal assassin from the Shadow Guild, and he didn't even carry a single gold bar when going out!
Lin Qi spat on the ground.
What a damn pauper, he deserved to be crushed to death!
If that fatty Zhang Wei were here, he would probably be slapping his thighs in distress, lamenting what a waste of such a big BOSS, not even managing to squeeze any profit out of him.
After the scavenging was finished, Lin Qi stood up straight.
He closed his eyes, and his Martial Intent Insight spread outward without reservation.
With his current Physical Body Realm, the range of his Martial Intent Insight had expanded several times compared to before.
The contour of the terrain within several kilometers immediately appeared in his mind.
In this extreme environment of twenty times gravity, no tiny movement could escape his perception.
Soon, he captured a few figures moving extremely slowly.
Those Prodigies who had been coerced by the Li family were now crawling through the dark red mist like snails.
And in a huge bone crevice three kilometers away from the Blood Sacrifice Altar, a dense pile of red dots was lying prone.
Those were the remaining Li Family Death Warriors, as well as Xiao Kuangyun's group.
Lin Qi sneered.
They ran quite fast.
At this moment.
Deep within the bone crevice three kilometers away.
The air was so stifling that it made one breathless.
Xiao Kuangyun leaned against a huge white bone, panting heavily.
His S-rank class, which he was so proud of, was worth nothing under this twenty times gravity.
Every time he moved, his bones protested, and his internal organs felt like they were sinking.
The dozen or so Li Family Death Warriors beside him were even more pathetic, each lying on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.
They had completely become turtles in a jar.
Originally, they had Ying Wan scouting ahead, providing them with intelligence and guidance.
Now the communicators were all dead, and there wasn't even an echo from Ying Wan's side.
No one dared to wander around in this godforsaken place.
If they accidentally stepped into a gravity turbulence, they would instantly turn into meat patties.
That Blank Slate kid would definitely continue deeper into the Dragon Tomb after absorbing the high-dimensional energy.
The Dead Soldier Captain gritted his teeth and calculated in his mind.
As long as he waited for that kid to go far away, they could crawl back along the original path.
This mission was impossible to complete; at worst, they would receive some punishment upon returning, which was better than dying here.
They couldn't imagine that the Blank Slate they regarded as prey had no intention of letting them go at all.
On the Blood Sacrifice Altar.
Lin Qi twisted his neck, his joints popping loudly.
Warm-up over.
These tag-alongs had been tailing him for so long, it was time to clean them up.
If others do not offend me, I will not offend them; if others offend me, I will cut the weeds and eliminate the roots.
This was Lin Qi's rule.
He exerted force under his feet, and the Ghost Shadow Yu Step was activated immediately.
His whole body turned into an afterimage, rushing directly into the dark red mist.
With the blessing of the Indestructible Golden Body, the twenty times gravity not only failed to become an obstacle but instead became his best cover.
His body density was now terrifyingly high; every step he took on the ground allowed him to borrow immense reaction force.
His speed was so fast that the air was knocked into ripples of white air waves.
He did not choose to rush over with great fanfare.
When dealing with these rats, the game of cat and mouse was the most interesting.
Lin Qi shuttled back and forth among the huge Dragon bone remains.
There was no fluctuation of any System skills, nor any flickering of magic elements.
Only the purest physical movement.
He didn't even stir up a whisper of wind.
This was a true assassin.
A few minutes later.
Lin Qi had already approached the periphery of the bone crevice.
The terrain here was complex, with huge bone spikes lying everywhere.
The Li Family Death Warriors' military discipline was indeed good; even in such a desperate situation, they had still set up sentries on the periphery.
A death warrior was lying behind a protruding rock, holding an enchanted crossbow, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
He didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing it would cause a riot of the surrounding energy.
This death warrior had no idea that the Grim Reaper had arrived above his head.
Lin Qi silently climbed up along a huge rib.
He hung upside down in mid-air, his legs clamped tightly onto the bone, like a dormant giant spider.
The top of the death warrior's head below was completely exposed within his attack range.
Lin Qi didn't even spare it another glance.
He raised his right hand, index and middle fingers pressed together.
The True Qi in his body flowed rapidly along his Meridians, gathering at his fingertips.
The Penetrating Force of the Baji Mountain Crushing Force erupted.
There were no flashy movements, no skill light effects.
Lin Qi silently flicked a finger wind, condensed to the extreme, toward the crown of the death warrior's head below.
Pfft!
A muffled sound.
The death warrior's skull was directly pierced by this terrifying physical Penetrating Force.
Brain matter, along with bone fragments, was stirred into a porridge inside his helmet.
He didn't even let out a groan; before the crossbow in his hand could hit the ground, he had already gone limp and collapsed.
Lin Qi exerted force from his waist, flipped in mid-air, and landed steadily on another bone spike.
The whole process was smooth and fluid, without making a single extra sound.
The slaughter continued.
Lin Qi's figure flickered continuously in the darkness.
The second one.
The third one.
The fourth one.
These strictly trained Li family elites were like radishes in the ground before Lin Qi, plucked one by one by him using various basic ancient martial arts assassination techniques.
Some had their necks snapped directly by the Tendon-Severing and Bone-Displacing Hand.
Some had their hearts shattered by Inch Power.
Some had their breathing passages sealed by meridian-blocking acupuncture, suffocating to death.
No magic, no special effects, only the most extreme aesthetics of violence.
The peripheral defense line was torn to shreds by Lin Qi in just five minutes.
Deep within the crevice.
Xiao Kuangyun paced back and forth irritably.
He always felt something was wrong.
It was too quiet all around.
He couldn't even hear the usual faint sounds of the wind.
His heart was pounding in his chest, and a strong sense of crisis lingered in his mind.
It was as if he was being watched by some extremely terrifying ancient Vicious Beast.
The Li Family Death Warrior captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and turned to look at the subordinate in charge of communication.
"Go and ask the peripheral sentries if there is any movement."
The subordinate hurriedly picked up the communicator and called in a low voice.
"Wang San, respond if you hear me."
Zzzzz.
There was only a faint sound of current in the communicator.
The subordinate's expression changed, and he switched channels.
"Zhao Si, report the situation."
Still no response.
The subordinate's hands began to tremble; he called all the peripheral sentries in succession.
All were busy signals.
"Captain."
The subordinate swallowed, his voice carrying a clear sobbing tone.
"We can't contact Wang San and the others anymore."
