397: Shen Bei, give me your life!

“Shen Bei, who had been missing for several months, we finally found him!”

In the dark alley, an extremely vicious voice rang out.

“That detestable fellow, he cut off our path to wealth and fortune. I’m going to bite him to death!”

A pair of bloodthirsty white teeth appeared on a woman’s twisted face.

These two were none other than Fu Tao and Ren Qianna!

Ever since their Golden Kettle was stolen by Zhuang Bifan and Shen Bei, they had watched the two enter the military base and dared not pursue them.

That heart-wrenching, extremely painful feeling had not dissipated even now!

For them, the Golden Kettle was the essential artifact for their luxurious, spendthrift lifestyle.

Without this artifact, if they wanted to maintain a noble, elegant, and extravagant life, they would have to go down into the catacombs!

But going into the catacombs was a nightmare for some Martial Artists.

It was a brutal struggle of blood and life.

They could only gamble their lives for wealth.

One must know that a large number of people became Martial Artists with quite selfish intentions.

They only wanted to enjoy the nation’s preferential treatment without contributing, and still wanted to live a life superior to ordinary people.

Bo Tao and Ren Qianna were among them.

They hadn’t never gone into the catacombs; it was just that they were almost scared to pee their pants by the fierce and brutal Vicious Beasts and Stranger.

They feared Vicious Beasts and Stranger to their very core.

It was like a lingering nightmare.

From then on, they swore they would never go into the catacombs again.

But seeing other Martial Artists spending lavishly and living extravagantly, they would drool with envy, feeling incredibly sour.

Fate’s gifts always arrive unexpectedly. They stumbled upon the Golden Kettle by chance and discovered its characteristic of absorbing pain and spitting out money.

From then on, their lives became wonderful.

Initially, they were quite ruthless to themselves, constantly inflicting pain on their own bodies, cutting their flesh, and insulting each other.

The money gushing from the Golden Kettle was well worth the physical and mental damage.

But as the Golden Kettle’s appetite grew larger and the threshold of pain required became higher.

They eventually extended their demonic claws to torment ordinary people.

The number of lives that tragically died at their hands was already more than a dozen.

If these ordinary people had simply died, it would have been a form of mercy, but the existence of the Golden Kettle demanded inhumane torture.

In other words, Bo Tao and Ren Qianna’s methods of punishment were not much worse than those of the military’s interrogation veterans.

A few months ago, Bo Tao and Ren Qianna’s Golden Kettle was stolen by Shen Bei and Zhuang Bifan.

This absolutely touched their reverse scale.

Cutting off someone’s path to wealth is like killing their parents!

After Bo Tao and Ren Qianna were forced to leave that night, they had been searching for Shen Bei and Zhuang Bifan’s whereabouts in Liaobei Province.

But unfortunately, the two seemed to have vanished into thin air, not showing their faces for over two months.

Just a few days ago.

Zhuang Bifan finally showed his face!

Bo Tao and Ren Qianna even wanted Zhuang Bifan to leave the military base, to then find an opportunity to chop him up.

After all, a Six-Rank Martial Artist facing two Seventh Rank Martial Artists would only have one outcome: a bloody death!

However, Zhuang Bifan had not come out since entering the military base.

It was as if he was hibernating…

The two were scratching their heads in frustration. After an analysis, they guessed that Shen Bei might have returned to his hometown, Changtu.

After all, Shencheng Martial Arts University was on holiday; if he didn’t go home, could he go into the catacombs instead?

The fact was, they had guessed correctly.

A quick inquiry revealed that some locals indeed claimed to have seen Shen Bei.

So, after some searching, they finally waited at the KTV entrance for Shen Bei and Jian Tong to come out.

The long-accumulated rage was about to be unleashed at this moment!

“According to the information, this man and woman are both Fifth Rank…”

Bo Tao’s gloomy gaze swept over the distant figures of Shen Bei and Jian Tong ahead.

Ren Qianna’s fiery red lips curled slightly: “We probably won’t get the Golden Kettle back, but taking Shen Bei’s life is still very simple.”

Seventh Rank against Fifth Rank.

Too stable!

It was incredibly stable, practically a complete crush!

Even if there was some difference between superficial and true attributes.

But with a two-rank advantage, what the true attributes were no longer mattered.

Bo Tao and Ren Qianna exchanged glances, the fierce anger and suppressed frustration making their eyes blood red like the sun.

The two moved extremely fast, quick steps, jogging, accelerating, running, sprinting, charging!

Bo Tao got closer and closer to Shen Bei’s back.

Finally, only three steps remained!

Bo Tao moved first, without a word. A biting dog doesn’t bark, and he decided to secure an initial advantage by directly ambushing, catching Shen Bei off guard!

Although the strength gap between them was quite large, Bo Tao was not a fool; he would never let an opportunity to gain an advantage slip through his fingers.

Only a fool would start with taunts!

Bo Tao twisted his body, swung his arm, and without a sound, directly blasted a punch towards Shen Bei’s back!

From Bo Tao’s perspective, with this punch, if Shen Bei’s Physique attribute wasn’t hard enough, it could rip out his heart!

Punch!

At this instant.

Shen Bei only felt the surrounding air being forcibly squeezed out, seemingly forming a brief vacuum.

At the same time, Jian Tong’s breathing hitched, as if her head had been thrown into the Universe, with no oxygen supply.

This sudden change, for Shen Bei, who was seasoned in battle, could only mean one thing.

Someone was ambushing him!

Shen Bei suddenly turned around, and as his eyeballs captured the sight, he saw a giant fist continuously expanding in his eyes, about to blast his head apart.

The power of one punch was fierce like that.

Shen Bei saw the owner of the fist, Bo Tao, at first glance!

Amidst the dullness, Shen Bei’s reaction was even faster, and his whole body moved with a unified waist and hips, agile and sharp.

Especially his four limbs and his large spine, moving with opening and closing motions, like five fully drawn bows, his fist like an arrow. Although he struck later, he displayed a profound Foundation.

Shen Bei’s Internal Energy was incredibly violent. He casually struck out with a palm, directly meeting the opponent, erupting in a deafening crash, as if two pieces of iron had collided.

The surging Qi generated a roaring wind, and the ground in this area trembled.

At this moment, Bo Tao was greatly alarmed.

Not only did his sneak attack fail.

The aura that Shen Bei unleashed when he clashed with him just now was actually that of a Seventh Rank Martial Artist!

How was this possible!

Bo Tao’s face instantly darkened. He had originally thought it would be an easy kill.

Who would have thought that Shen Bei had actually advanced to Seventh Rank within just two months!

Is this even human!

And Ren Qianna, who arrived shortly after, had a face twisted like a poisonous scorpion.

Seventh Rank… This wasn’t scientific!

Jian Tong, on the other side, after a brief period of tension, was also astonished by Shen Bei’s strength.

“Leave!”

Shen Bei crossed his hands in front of him, his eyes dark and unreadable, as he spoke to Jian Tong.

Jian Tong hesitated for a moment, knowing that this was not the time to dawdle. Although she didn’t know who the opponents were, two Seventh Rank Martial Artists were not something she could contend with.

Any Martial Skill could beat her half to death!

She couldn’t drag Shen Bei down.

Jian Tong directly fled, moving far away and maintaining a safe distance to observe.

Bo Tao tilted his head, still silent. His strength erupted in silence, moving swiftly, his two arms like a pair of scissors, twisting and attacking towards Shen Bei’s head.

Shen Bei dodged to the side. Bo Tao’s arms twisted onto a large tree that would take two people to embrace, and this tree was directly severed, crashing down and raising endless dust.

With this strike evaded, Bo Tao relentlessly pursued, erupting again. His fists continuously struck out, each punch creating a sonic boom. His aura was astonishing, and his power was terrifyingly violent.

Shen Bei raised his fist to meet the challenge, and as the two clashed, light engulfed the surroundings. The tree that had just fallen was directly swept up by the strong winds, scattering with crackling sounds in all directions, causing many people to dodge.

After a brief exchange, both retreated five steps.

Bo Tao was shaking his numb legs and feet.

Shen Bei licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.

“Brother Bo Tao, playing like this is no fun. What, are you bringing your wife to bully a student like me?”

Shen Bei’s lips curled into an uncontrollable sneer as he spoke.

Bo Tao raised his gaze and immediately sneered: “Now there are only two paths left for you. Either hand over the Golden Kettle.”

“Or… die!”

Shen Bei spread his hands, tsk-tsking twice: “You can just tell me to die directly, why beat around the bush?”

Ren Qianna’s eyes gradually turned cold, and she said chillingly: “At least you have some self-awareness!”
