185: Killing Hou Chengzu

Qin Shilei, who was in mid-air, noticed that Jingcui Garden was ablaze multiple times.

Connecting it with the signal flare he had just heard, his anger instantly surged.

It must be Hou Chengzhu who deliberately had people set fires everywhere to create chaos, making it easier for him to escape.

As Qin Shilei fell from the sky, he looked down and saw Hou Chengzhu and his group running out of a building.

Teleportation!

Qin Shilei disappeared from mid-air and suddenly appeared in front of Hou Chengzhu, raising his Blood Soul to strike at his head.

Hou Chengzhu's vision blurred, and he was astonished to find Qin Shilei abruptly appearing before him.

A strong sense of alarm surged in his heart, and he forcefully stopped his frantic steps, while simultaneously, the mental power from his glabella surged wildly.

Soul Shock!

He expended all his mental power to unleash this red mental attack.

This mental attack had achieved miraculous success, allowing him to turn dangerous situations into safety from certain death on multiple occasions.

Hou Chengzhu had once experimented with his pet, the Golden Anaconda; an 80% mental power Soul Shock had caused the Anaconda to fall unconscious for five seconds and remain listless for three days afterward.

Even though Qin Shilei was in the Silver Realm, he was clearly a sword cultivator, so his mental power couldn't be that high.

Once hit by Soul Shock and falling unconscious, he wouldn't even need five seconds—just one second would be enough for his subordinates to hack him into mincemeat.

As the Blood Soul sword touched Hou Chengzhu's neck, Soul Shock simultaneously struck Qin Shilei.

Qin Shilei's face paled, and his movements clearly paused.

The look of pleasant surprise had just appeared on Hou Chengzhu's face when he saw the Blood Soul on his neck continue to slice towards his throat.

A substitute doll at his waist instantly shattered into pieces and vanished into thin air.

After Qin Shilei broke the opponent's substitute doll with one strike, he flipped his hand and slashed upwards, and the Blood Soul in his hand once again cut across the opponent's neck.

A crimson bloodline appeared on Hou Chengzhu's neck, and he fell backward.

His wide-open eyes were still full of confusion, as if wondering why the opponent was unaffected by Soul Shock?

Seeing their sect leader killed by the opponent in one move, Liu Ying and the others scattered in fright, their hearts chilled.

Unfortunately, in front of Qin Shilei, everything was futile.

In less than thirty seconds, several of Hou Chengzhu's subordinates all fell in pools of blood, dying on the spot.

Just then, a commotion came from the main entrance of the community.

Qin Shilei ran closer to see that Deng Kun, whom Hou Chengzhu had summoned for support, was fighting with the Panshi Battle Group.

Deng Kun, leading two to three hundred elites, was overwhelming twenty to thirty members of the Panshi Battle Group.

It looked like the Panshi Battle Group would be massacred in the next moment.

“Die, you Huanglong Sect scum!”

Qin Shilei instantly teleported in front of Deng Kun.

The crimson Blood Soul flashed past, and Deng Kun's large head flew into the sky.

Phantom!

Qin Shilei waved his hand, summoning his phantom clone, and together they charged towards the Huanglong Sect members.

Two figures swiftly flashed past the crowd, and the elites of the Huanglong Sect collapsed one by one.

No one was a match for Qin Shilei and his phantom clone.

Seeing their companions being killed one by one, the rest of the people completely lost their fighting spirit and scattered in all directions like birds and beasts.

At this moment, they wished they had an extra pair of legs, hoping to escape the pursuit of that peerless expert whose figure they couldn't even clearly see.

If these two to three hundred people had united to launch a group attack on Qin Shilei, they might have caused him some trouble.

But at this moment, everyone was only thinking of escaping, which was destined to be a dead end.

More than ten minutes later.

Qin Shilei pulled his sword from the last Huanglong Sect disciple and looked around.

He saw that the fires in various parts of Jingcui Garden had gradually been brought under control, but indistinct noises were faintly coming from outside the community.

Just then, Zhang Qiang ran up to him, “City Lord, everyone in the building we live in has already left, and we found more than ten high-energy bombs inside the building.”

Qin Shilei nodded in response, “Tell everyone not to go back into the building for now, and arrange for people to carefully search all areas of the community again.”

“Okay.” Zhang Qiang hesitated, “An Qian and Kong Qingshu are both injured, you should go see them.”

Qin Shilei's heart was startled, and he quickly ran forward.

He found An Qian and the others at a pavilion in the community.

An Qian had already regained consciousness and was sitting on a stone chair, leaning against a pillar of the pavilion.

“An Qian, are you alright? Did the Huanglong Sect people hurt you? Damn the Huanglong Sect, I will surely kill them until blood flows like a river.”

Qin Shilei said fiercely while checking An Qian's body.

An Qian immediately threw herself into Qin Shilei's arms, sobbing, “I’m fine, it’s so good to see you again!”

After hugging for a while, she looked up and said, “I’m fine, but Sister Qingshu is still unconscious from saving me, please go see her quickly.”

Although she had suffered two ultrasonic attacks from the bat swarm, she was a Silver Realm expert with strong mental power, so she was not severely injured by it.

An Qian's unconsciousness was mainly due to continuously using her ultimate skills; after a day of recovery and Zhang Xiaoli's treatment, she was no longer in serious danger.

Qin Shilei turned to look and saw Kong Qingshu, her face pale, lying on a reclining chair.

Zhang Xiaoli was repeatedly using her Revival ability on her.

However, it seemed to have no effect; Kong Qingshu showed no signs of waking up.

Qin Shilei squatted down and checked her, finding no wounds.

Zhang Qiang and An Qian each briefly described how Kong Qingshu was injured.

After hearing their words, Zhang Xiaoli speculated, “Sister Qingshu was likely injured in her mental power, or rather, her soul, by that group of bats, which is why she hasn't woken up yet.”

Commander Kong squatted down and held his daughter's hand, his voice hoarse as he said, “Shu’er, wake up quickly. Your brother is gone, are you going to abandon your father like this too?”

Looking at Commander Kong's desolate figure, everyone felt a pang of sadness.

An Qian looked up at Qin Shilei and said, “If Sister Qingshu hadn’t caught me, I might have fallen to my death. Shi Lei, you must save Sister Qingshu.”

“Hmm, she will definitely be fine,” Qin Shilei comforted.

Just then, a member of the Panshi Battle Group suddenly ran over, “City Lord, the Huanglong Sect people are burning, killing, and looting in the city; it’s already chaotic outside.”

“How dare they!”

Qin Shilei said in a deep voice, “Zhang Qiang, immediately lead your team to suppress them. Kill all those who cause trouble without mercy.”

“Xie Haimei, go notify the military to send people to suppress the Huanglong Sect disciples.”

“He Kaige, you lead people to guard Jingcui Garden; do not allow any Huanglong Sect members to step half a step into the community.”

Pet Xiaoqiang was still unconscious, just like Kong Qingshu, so Qin Shilei had no choice but to ride the Ghost Chariot and gallop towards the noisy area.

A shabbily dressed resident tightly clutched the space ring in his hand, retreating with a panicked expression.

A Huanglong Sect disciple, holding a long saber, approached the other party step by step with a cruel smile, “Keep running, you made me chase you for half a street.”

Then he killed the opponent with one strike and took the ring from his hand.

“Let me see what good treasures are in your ring.”

A moment later, he said with a look of disdain, “Not even a single crystal, what a pauper.”

Just then, he suddenly noticed a figure blocking the nearby streetlamp.

He looked up and saw a blood-red sword light flash, and then he lost consciousness.

After Qin Shilei killed the opponent, he continued to run elsewhere.

As long as he found troublemakers, he wouldn't waste words with them, killing them all with a single sword strike.
