122: Chapter 122 Kill Chen Yao, Obtain Spirit Coins, and Seize Equipment!

While the two were speaking, Qin Shaowu had already parked his motorcycle by the roadside and caught up from behind.

“Chu Xuan, do we have a plan for what's next?” Qin Shaowu asked with a face full of anticipation.

“Go buy a woven bag, or any other large bag will do. We'll wait for you at the bus stop ahead.” Chu Xuan pointed toward a 24-hour convenience store not far away.

“Got it!” Qin Shaowu ran over quickly.

Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng continued their discussion, confirming the relevant details and precautions.

Just as in the dream, Tang Zheng excitedly explained the details of his talent, [Fighting God], and expressed curiosity about what talent Chu Xuan had awakened.

“My talent is [Heavenly Secret]...”

Chu Xuan explained calmly. It seemed like he was talking to Tang Zheng, but in reality, he was deliberately revealing this to the Phantom Demon. As for whether the other party believed it or not, that was another matter.

Tang Zheng, however, believed it implicitly, suddenly coming to a realization: “No wonder you seem to know everything. That's amazing... Wait! That's not right!”

Tang Zheng reacted and blurted out, “Doesn't this mean I can only be your muscle from now on?”

“You shouldn't put it that way. You're my secret weapon.”

While talking, the two had already arrived near the bus stop.

In the pitch-black early morning hours, Chu Xuan had already attracted Chen Yao's attention. Chen Yao originally thought they were just passing by, but seeing Chu Xuan walking straight toward him, Chen Yao—who was currently dealing with some hoodlums—suddenly became alert.

“What are you doing?” Chen Yao asked with a frown.

“We're here to wait for the bus,” Chu Xuan said with a smile, his pace never faltering. Tang Zheng walked beside him with his head down, silent.

“Waiting for what bus?” Chen Yao’s face showed suspicion.

“What else would we be waiting for at this hour? It's definitely the same one as you. Why the act? We're all on the same side. Give us a cigarette!” Chu Xuan had his hands in his pockets as he and Tang Zheng continued to approach, looking completely unguarded.

Although Chen Yao was still somewhat wary, seeing Chu Xuan's demeanor caused him to relax slightly. He turned his head and barked at a hoodlum beside him, “Give these two brothers a smoke...”

Before his words could finish, a glowing figure suddenly flashed past.

Bang!!

Chen Yao's head instantly exploded like a watermelon!

Tang Zheng slowly withdrew his fist. The faint light radiating from his body gradually faded until he returned to normal.

Silence.

A deathly silence.

The dozen or so hoodlums standing or squatting around seemed to have been frozen in place. They stared blankly at the scene, their blood turning cold. Two of them were even burned by dropped cigarette butts but didn't even notice.

“How many seconds left?”

“59 seconds.”

“That's alright then.”

Chu Xuan nodded slightly and began searching Chen Yao's body as if no one else was there. He soon pulled out fifteen silver coins.

Found it!

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly.

The purpose of boarding the bus here, besides eliminating a threat in advance, was naturally to obtain spirit money. He didn't want to waste his own spirituality value to pay the fare.

Only then did the hoodlums wake up as if from a dream. They let out strange cries and scrambled away in terror as if they had seen a ghost, rewriting the ending where they were supposed to die.

Qin Shaowu, who was excitedly running over with a red-and-white checkered woven bag, was stunned when he saw Chu Xuan looting the corpse.

Especially when he saw Chen Yao's headless body and the filth splattered around like a crushed watermelon, his legs couldn't help but tremble.

“No... wait, you guys are playing this for real?” Qin Shaowu's mouth hung open.

At the same time, bright headlights lit up in the distance. Accompanied by the roar of engines, four black sedans skidded to a halt, leaving long tire marks on the ground as they surrounded the bus stop.

“This must be Tao Jiajia's people. I'll take them out; ten seconds max!” Tang Zheng realized something instantly, and his eyes immediately turned cold and sharp.

“There's no need for you to act. Just watch the show.”

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth tilted up slightly. “These people are here to deliver equipment to us.”

Numerous young men in black suits filed out, some holding submachine guns and others holding pistols. They used the cars as cover and pointed their muzzles at Chu Xuan and Tang Zheng at the bus stop.

Naturally, this included Qin Shaowu, who had just run over with the woven bag. Seeing so many dark muzzles pointed at him, his whole body went numb.

Then, Tao Jiajia's voice, filled with malice and triumph, came from ahead: “Fortunately, I had a sudden whim to check your phone's location. As expected, I found you!”

Born into privilege and always high and mighty, Tao Jiajia had always considered herself superior and was used to taking others' obedience for granted.

Initially, she just wanted Chu Xuan to follow orders and wait for protection.

But Chu Xuan not only didn't appreciate it, he even used tricks to make her look like a fool. Everything that happened in the Small Commodities Market, in particular, was a great humiliation to her.

Even the Night Watchers would at least maintain a surface level of politeness and would never toy with her like this. What right did a young brat with no background have?

Tao Jiajia had long since grown to hate Chu Xuan to the core.

He was just a low-life who got lucky and gained special abilities. Did he really think he could become extraordinary and look down on everyone from now on?

Tao Jiajia took a deep breath, stood behind a sedan, and sneered through the crowd, “Chu Xuan, Tang Zheng, since you're both here, that's perfect. You won't escape this time!”

Chu Xuan's gaze was as calm as water. “It's you guys who won't be escaping...”

As he spoke, his words seemed to carry a strange magic. Accompanied by a silver light flashing in his eyes, Tao Jiajia, Hua Jun—who was protecting her—and a burly man holding a submachine gun all fell into a daze.

Chu Xuan said, “Put all your guns on the ground!”

Tao Jiajia then shouted loudly, “Everyone, put down all your guns! Drop them on the ground!”

While everyone was in shock, Hua Jun, who was beside Tao Jiajia, immediately barked coldly, “Captain Tao told you all to put your guns down. Didn't you hear her?”

The crowd lowered their muzzles in confusion. A few who hesitated were immediately shot in their gun-wielding arms by the burly man, and they dropped their weapons while screaming in pain.

“Drop your guns on the ground!” the burly man roared. Instantly, no one dared to object, and they all laid down their firearms.

Chu Xuan continued, “Hands up, lean against the cars.”

“Everyone, put your hands up and lean against the cars!” Tao Jiajia, Hua Jun, and the burly man spoke in unison and set the example themselves.

Under Chu Xuan's level 2 Heart Bewitchment, supported by 17 points of spirit, the three of them had no resistance at all. They were like people who had lost their minds, following orders completely.

The rest of the people only felt that all of this was extremely absurd and bizarre.

Some who were quick-witted had already vaguely guessed what was going on, but they were powerless to change anything and could only follow the crowd and lean against the cars.

“Your turn. Go pick up the equipment.” Chu Xuan gave Qin Shaowu a look.

“Me?”

Qin Shaowu's mouth twitched. He really wanted to say he didn't want to play anymore, but given the circumstances, he ultimately decided it was better to follow his heart and walked forward with the woven bag.
