213: Earth Bear

When Xu Jun was swept by Qin Shilei's cold gaze, it was as if he had suddenly entered an ice cave, and his body was covered in chills.

He gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down: "City Lord, I, Xu, did indeed have selfish motives in this matter. As long as the City Lord helps me avenge this great hatred, I, Xu Jun, will obey your every command from now on. The three thousand members of the Dragon Tiger Society will also become the City Lord's most loyal subordinates."

The idea of directly submitting to Qin Shilei and using his power to avenge himself had repeatedly appeared in Xu Jun's mind during this period.

It was just that he had always been unwilling to be subservient to others, so he hadn't made up his mind.

But now, he could no longer hesitate.

If he truly incurred Qin Shilei's displeasure, the other party would probably abandon him and go directly to Xu Family Stronghold, or even kill him with a sword because of his schemes.

"What, do you feel like you're losing out by following me?" Qin Shilei looked at him with a half-smile.

"No loss, no loss. If I can become your subordinate, City Lord, it would be my greatest fortune in three lifetimes," Xu Jun quickly said.

"Get up," Qin Shilei said indifferently, "Considering you are also a person of Hope City, I will spare you this once for now."

He paused, then added, "He is yours to deal with. His life and death are up to you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Junchu's face immediately changed drastically, and he shouted loudly, "Don't hand me over to him! Without me, you won't be able to get the Gu Insect Scripture from my dad!"

Xu Jun, however, showed a look of joy and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you, City Lord. Could you give me a few minutes? I'll deal with him first, then take you to Xu Family Stronghold."

From the moment he saw Xu Junchu, he had wanted to kill him immediately, but because he was afraid of incurring Qin Shilei's displeasure, he buried the hatred in his heart.

At this moment, hearing that Qin Shilei had actually handed over Xu Junchu, who could be used to threaten the patriarch, to him, he was indeed very grateful.

"Go," Qin Shilei said, then got into the car with Kong Qingshu.

Xu Hongyu also left her companions and got into the car.

Soon, Xu Junchu's tragic wails came from outside the car.

Even just from the screams, one could tell how ruthless Xu Jun's actions were, and how much he hated Xu Junchu.

The screams lasted for ten minutes until Xu Jun walked back, covered in blood.

"Boss, why don't you go change your clothes first?" Ma Hongwei reminded him softly.

"Ah," Xu Jun immediately reacted and said apologetically, "City Lord, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

After speaking, he turned and ran into an empty room nearby.

Soon, the car with five people set off again towards Xu Family Stronghold.

Xu Hongyu, sitting on the other side, leaned over and cautiously said, "Big Brother, when we reach Xu Family Stronghold, can you please be a little lenient?"

Qin Shilei did not answer her, but instead asked Xu Jun, "Besides Xu Junchu and his father, who else are your enemies?"

"The patriarch of Xu Family Stronghold and their three subordinates."

Xu Junchu and his father were the culprits who forced his wife to her death, while the patriarch sent three subordinates to kill his parents.

Qin Shilei turned to Xu Hongyu and said, "If no one provokes me, after Xu Jun gets his revenge, I won't kill innocent people. The premise is that you can cultivate the Holy Spirit Gu and help me awaken my pet."

His original plan was also to capture Xu Feng, the patriarch of Xu Family Stronghold, and obtain the Gu Insect Scripture, rather than to go on a killing spree in Xu Family Stronghold.

And Xu Hongyu seemed to have a talent for refining Gu, so it would be perfect to have her help with it.

"Big Brother, as long as I get the Gu Insect Scripture, I will definitely refine the Holy Spirit Gu and awaken Big Brother's pet!"

Xu Hongyu quickly promised.

As for the lives of the patriarch and his son, they were completely out of her consideration.

"Roar."

After the car drove a few kilometers out of the town, an Black Bear suddenly jumped out onto the road ahead.

It was a mutated Black Bear, five or six meters tall and incredibly mighty.

Name: Black Bear

Description: Silver Realm three-star strength, astonishing power and defense, can emit earth spikes and cause ground tremors. Its weaknesses are its head and a knife wound under its right ribs.

This was the information Qin Shilei obtained using his Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple.

"City Lord, the last time I came, I was stopped by this Black Bear. It has at least Bronze Realm nine-star strength. Last time, we lost dozens of brothers and barely escaped."

Xu Jun immediately reminded him.

"It's more than just Bronze Realm nine-star. It seems to have advanced during this time, otherwise, you wouldn't have escaped."

Qin Shilei said as he got out of the car.

"Qin Dage, cover me. Let me get some practice in," Kong Qingshu also quickly got out of the car, eager to try.

"Alright." Qin Shilei stood by, vigilantly on guard.

After applying a speed battle technique to herself, Kong Qingshu immediately charged towards the Earth Azure Bear.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Earth Azure Bear also charged towards Kong Qingshu like a Tank, its heavy footsteps making loud thudding sounds on the ground.

An earth spike suddenly rose from under Kong Qingshu's feet.

However, Kong Qingshu seemed to have foresight, lightly leaping up to avoid the earth spike's attack.

With a wave of her hand, a silver long whip fiercely struck the Earth Azure Bear's head.

Various battle techniques continuously blasted from Kong Qingshu's hands, but they couldn't overcome the Earth Azure Bear's astonishing defense.

If it weren't for her incredible speed and superb movement technique, she would have probably been flattened into meat paste by a single slap from the Earth Azure Bear.

"Yesterday when we went up the mountain, it's a good thing we didn't encounter this Earth Azure Bear, otherwise, I'd probably be fertilizer by now," Xu Hongyu exclaimed with a look of fear.

"It's also fortunate that the Black Bear we encountered last time wasn't this strong, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to come here again," Xu Jun also exclaimed with a look of relief.

The Earth Azure Bear suddenly clenched both fists and hammered them forcefully onto the ground.

Boom!

It was like a magnitude seven earthquake, with a violent ground tremor.

Xu Jun and the others, who were thirty or forty meters away, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Kong Qingshu, who was a few meters in front of the Earth Azure Bear, was even more dazed and her body stiff, unable to move.

What terrified her even more was that the Earth Azure Bear took the opportunity to fiercely slap her head.

If that slap landed squarely, Kong Qingshu's head would surely explode like a watermelon.

Just as the furious Earth Azure Bear was about to smash the little figure's head, it suddenly found that the figure in front of it had disappeared.

Immediately after, it felt a pain in its back, and then it could no longer control its body.

A crimson sword light flashed, and the massive Earth Azure Bear fell heavily to the ground. Blood gushed out like a spring, quickly forming a small pool, and a bronze treasure chest appeared next to the Black Bear.

"Qin Dage, am I too weak? I can't even kill a mere Black Bear," Kong Qingshu said with some dejection.

"You just advanced to the Silver Realm, and you encountered an Black Bear with astonishing defense. It's normal not to be able to defeat it. Just practice more, and you'll be fine," Qin Shilei comforted her.

"Then Qin Dage, you'll have to cover me more often!" Kong Qingshu quickly regained her confidence and said playfully.

"Alright, next time we encounter a mutated beast, I'll let you take the lead."

Qin Shilei replied while collecting the spoils of war.
