372: Chapter 373 Gold Coin Frenzy! The Butler's Wealth is Truly Abundant! Tianhai City Needs a Major Cleanup!

The blood mist was still drifting.

This was the end of a Half-step Law-level expert; not even a complete corpse remained.

Lin Qi stood where he was, without a single drop of blood on his shoulders.

The Dao Source Protective Aura automatically blocked all the splattering flesh and blood.

Just as the blood mist was about to dissipate, he narrowed his eyes.

At the core of the blood mist, a pitch-black mark the size of a fingernail was flashing rapidly. Composed of countless chaotic runes, it was trying to tear open a Rift to escape.

An evil god mark.

Exactly the same as the one on Ku Ye.

It activated automatically before death, intending to pack up the master's last bit of Soul energy along with the coordinate intelligence and send it back to the Prophet.

"Still trying to run?"

The corner of Lin Qi's mouth quirked up.

He reached into the dissipating blood mist, his fingers accurately pinching the frantically struggling pitch-black mark.

The mark throbbed violently between his fingertips, releasing a vicious mental shock.

In front of a Tongshen Realm Physical Body and Dao Source, a shock of this level wasn't even worth calling an itch.

He didn't bother using the Dao Source to counter it, simply tightening his pure physical strength.

"Crack."

A faint, crisp sound.

The mark, which contained the will of a high-dimensional evil god, was directly crushed by him on a physical level, turning into the most primitive energy powder.

Not even a single signal could be sent out.

Another one went offline from the Prophet's chat window.

After finishing all this, Lin Qi turned his gaze to the ground.

The blood mist cleared, and the person known as Abyssal Fang had completely disappeared from the world.

But in the spot where he had just been smashed, two things remained.

A completely pitch-black ring with complex spatial patterns engraved on its surface.

And a palm-sized, irregularly shaped translucent fragment.

A High-grade Void Storage Ring, plus a fragment containing Spatial Core Rules.

"Not bad, I've hit the jackpot."

Lin Qi muttered to himself, bending over to pick up the two items.

With a sweep of his Dao Source, he erased the mental imprint Abyssal Fang had left on the storage ring.

The space inside was massive, at least several hundred cubic meters, filled with various items.

Heaps of recovery potions shimmering with various colors; their quality was much higher than those refined by the fatty.

There were also several crates of rare Space-type Alchemical Metals, the core Materials for manufacturing spatial equipment.

His gaze swept past these, finally settling on a black chip placed separately.

With a thought, the chip appeared in his hand.

It contained encrypted information.

The Dao Source barged in, crushing the encryption structure and reading the contents directly.

It was a list.

A list detailed to an outrageous degree.

It recorded all the moles and insiders the Church of Calamity had planted throughout Tianhai City, from grassroots clerks in Federal Agencies to owners of small companies and even information brokers in the black market.

Names, identities, addresses, and contact information—everything was there.

"Now this is the real treasure."

Lin Qi put away the chip.

With this list, it was as if he had obtained the entire network of the Church of Calamity in Tianhai City; he could wipe them all out in one go.

After dealing with the spoils, he looked up at the apartment building across the street.

Although the commotion just now was contained within a ten-meter radius, the impact of the spatial shattering still affected the surroundings.

The girl serving as a backup Container had already fainted in the room.

Lin Qi looked at the window for two seconds.

Troublesome.

Killing to silence witnesses wasn't his style; the other party was just an ordinary person who got caught up in it.

But if left alone, if she woke up and remembered something and reported it to the police, it would attract a federal investigation.

The Dao Source moved slightly.

An invisible ripple crossed the distance of several dozen meters, precisely covering one of the rooms in that apartment building.

It wasn't aggressive; it just gently swept through the girl's cerebral cortex, wiping away her short-term memory of the last ten minutes along with the feeling of being frightened.

When she woke up, she would only feel that she was too tired from studying and had accidentally fallen asleep.

Only after doing this did Lin Qi start cleaning up the scene.

The ten-meter crater he had stomped out, as well as the remaining spatial cracks on the surrounding ground, were all emitting extremely unstable Law fluctuations.

If seen by a Professional Law-type Professional, they would immediately be able to analyze that a Half-step Law-level battle had just occurred.

"Gotta level it out."

He grumbled, walked to the edge of the crater, and stomped down hard.

"Boom."

A muffled sound came from underground; it was the sound of the geological structure being forcibly manipulated.

Centered on where his foot landed, the surrounding ground began to backfill itself.

The broken asphalt, the overturned soil, and the severed pipes were all crushed, reorganized, and compacted under an invisible force.

The ten-meter-deep crater was filled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A few seconds later, only a slightly rough patch of road remained.

As for the Law fluctuations lingering in the air, Lin Qi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled a stream of pure Dao Source.

The Dao Source diffused, wiping away every trace of Law that didn't belong to him in this space.

Finally, he adjusted the heavy backpack on his shoulders; the ore bricks inside made a muffled "clank."

After confirming nothing was missed, his figure flickered, turning into a faint shadow and disappearing into the depths of the night.

Tianhai City, Base D-3.

Instructor Su Qing stood in the courtyard, tightly clutching the golden token, her gaze fixed on the base entrance.

She had been in this position for nearly an hour.

Before leaving, Lin Qi only said he was going to deal with a few Space Anchors, but he hadn't returned yet.

Things were definitely not that simple.

Just now, through the prisoner's Shadowbox, she had monitored a violent collision of spatial Laws in the eastern part of the city.

One of the auras was very familiar to her—it was Abyssal Fang.

The other was violent, overbearing, and unreasonable.

It was Lin Qi.

The collision only lasted for a very short time, and then Abyssal Fang's aura vanished.

Gone forever.

She knew Lin Qi was strong, but that was Abyssal Fang, the top spatial assassin of the Church of Calamity.

Just as she was about to lead her people out, a figure carrying that iconic black backpack emerged from the night, walking into the base gate at a steady pace.

Lin Qi.

Instructor Su Qing's heart finally settled back into her chest, and her hand gripping the token relaxed.

"You're back."

Her voice was as cold as ever.

"Yeah, I dealt with some trash along the way,"

Lin Qi replied casually, taking off the incredibly heavy backpack and tossing it onto the ground.

"Boom!"

Even the ground shook.

Beside them, Shi Gu and Annihilation, who were on guard duty, had their eyelids twitching wildly.

These two former church Deacons hadn't dared to breathe heavily since the moment Lin Qi stepped into the base.

They could clearly feel the spatial Law aura belonging to Abyssal Fang still lingering on Lin Qi. It was faint, but enough to make their scalps tingle.

Abyssal Fang was dead, killed by this man, and he had won so easily that his clothes weren't even ruffled.

This realization took their awe of Lin Qi to another level.

Zhang Wei came jogging out of the house, and seeing Lin Qi, his face immediately broke into a smile.

"Boss, you're finally back! Are you hungry? I'll have the kitchen..."

Lin Qi ignored him and casually tossed the black storage ring over.

"Fatty, take stock of the things inside. Keep what's useful and sell what's not."

Zhang Wei scrambled to catch the ring. When his Mental Energy probed inside, his eyes widened instantly.

"Holy crap! Boss, did you... rob some poor guy's treasury again?"

Lin Qi didn't answer, instead taking the black chip from his pocket and tossing it to Instructor Su Qing.

Instructor Su Qing caught it, her eyes filled with confusion.

"A list of the Church of Calamity's insiders in Tianhai City."

Lin Qi's voice was flat, but those words made everyone's heart skip a beat.

Instructor Su Qing looked down at the chip in her hand and immediately understood its value.

Lin Qi looked at her and gave the second command of the night.

"Instructor Su Qing, tonight, clean them all out."
