266: Poisoning

Before the apocalypse, Qin Shilei and An Qian were just ordinary civilians and had never stayed in a five-star hotel.

Now that they had the opportunity, they naturally wanted to enjoy themselves, so they came to the Junhao Empire again.

After resting for half an hour in the presidential suite on the top floor, they went down to the restaurant on the third floor again.

By then, night had fallen, and dozens of guests were already seated in the restaurant in small groups.

Qin Shilei and An Qian found a window seat and sat down.

They casually ordered a few famous dishes they hadn't tried before, chatted idly, and waited for the waiter to serve the food.

The dishes were quickly served, and the wine was opened and poured by the waiter.

Qin Shilei raised his glass and clinked it with An Qian's, "An Qian, meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life. Cheers."

An Qian smiled genuinely and said, "Meeting you is the greatest fortune of my life. Cheers."

However, just as they brought their glasses to their lips, they both stopped.

They exchanged a glance, then placed their wine glasses back on the table.

When Qin Shilei picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat, his heart stirred again.

It's poisoned!

And it's an extremely potent poison.

Otherwise, it wouldn't cause two Golden Realm Evolution users to feel a warning palpitation.

"What a waste of such a good meal."

Qin Shilei whispered to An Qian, "Then let me play with them properly."

After speaking, he casually picked up the wine glass on the table as if nothing had happened, pretending to drink it in one gulp.

In reality, all the wine in the glass was stored in his Qiankun Ring.

Less than five seconds later, Qin Shilei opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then collapsed weakly onto the table.

"Shi Lei, what's wrong with you?"

An Qian cried out with a worried expression, while taking out a pill and feeding it into his mouth.

"Beauty, it's useless."

Tang Lingfeng swaggered in, "This poison was refined by one of my Silver Realm subordinates after countless hardships. To refine this one dose of poison, we collected eighty-one kinds of potent poisons."

"We only used one-tenth of it to poison a Silver Three Star mutated beast to death."

"What he drank was three times that amount. He's bound to die."

An Qian asked in a deep voice, "For the crystals on us, are you determined to kill us?"

Tang Lingfeng nodded and said, "Precisely. Wealth should not be flaunted. Since you've shown your wealth, don't blame others for coveting it."

He paused and then said, "I thought you would drink the poisoned wine with him. Since you're fine now, I'll give you two choices."

"First, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly from now on, I'll give you relative freedom."

"Second, I'll use forceful means to train you into my female slave."

Qin Shilei suddenly stood up from the table, "I only give you one choice: death!"

Tang Lingfeng's eyes narrowed, and he quickly retreated over ten meters.

At the same time, a large group of fully armed Evolution users surged in from outside the door.

The guests who were still eating panicked and hid to the side.

"Proceed as planned, but be careful not to harm my beauty."

With a wave of Tang Lingfeng's hand, the Evolution users behind him immediately charged forward in an orderly fashion.

Shield warriors stood at the very front with their shields, followed by archers and ability users.

Half of those ability users were Evolution users with restrictive abilities, and they all chanted incantations, unleashing their abilities at Qin Shilei.

Vines, ice spheres, earth walls, and other abilities formed an impenetrable net, smashing towards Qin Shilei.

Seeing that the opponent was about to be engulfed by these abilities, Tang Lingfeng revealed a smug smile, as if everything was under his control.

These sixty-eight ability users were Tang Lingfeng's trump card; they were all powerhouses of Bronze Nine Star, or even Silver One or Two Star.

Each of them possessed a powerful control ability.

Once an enemy was controlled by these abilities, they were like a lamb awaiting slaughter.

Behind the control abilities were powerful archery combat skills like Hundred Steps Piercing Willow.

The remaining ability users had their large-scale destructive abilities primed and ready.

"It seems your Tang Family indeed has some strength."

Looking at the Tang Family's closely coordinated actions, Qin Shilei's eyes also lit up.

Just as those attacks were about to land on Qin Shilei, Tang Lingfeng discovered that the opponent's figure had vanished from sight.

Then he felt a rapid whooshing sound coming from his right.

Bang!

As a precious life-saving item on him shattered, Tang Lingfeng's body was also sent flying by a blood-red longsword, crashing into the group of archers.

Before Tang Lingfeng could even fall to the ground, another fierce sword qi slashed down at him from above.

At this critical moment, a thick ice shield instantly formed in front of him.

Crack!

The ice shield was split in half by the sword qi as soon as it formed, unable to hold for even 0.1 seconds.

The sword qi continued downwards, splitting Tang Lingfeng in half.

Tang Lingfeng's subordinates were instantly stunned.

The Silver Five Star Young Master Tang was actually killed by the big boss.

"Kill him to avenge Young Master Tang!"

Those people all turned and attacked Qin Shilei.

However, in less than five seconds, they regretted it.

They couldn't even clearly see the enemy's movements.

Only a phantom flashed by, and their companions continuously fell.

"Run!"

Someone shouted while fleeing towards the main door.

Some also randomly unleashed their area-of-effect attacks, attempting to hit Qin Shilei with widespread attacks.

Others rushed towards the windows, attempting to escape by jumping out.

However, all of this was futile.

As two figures, one white and one red, flashed by, the entire restaurant was as if swept by a hurricane, becoming messy and dilapidated.

Sword qi crisscrossed, and blood splattered.

Three minutes later, only one person from the Tang Family remained.

Qin Shilei asked coldly, "Where is the person who poisoned them?"

The person answered tremblingly, "He was just killed by you."

Qin Shilei then commanded, "Then take me to the Tang Family now."

That person was merely an Evolution user recruited by the Tang Family, so he nodded without hesitation, "Okay, don't kill me, I'll take you to the Tang Family now."

Qin Shilei, holding that person, directly broke through the window and flew out, and An Qian closely followed him.

The customers in the restaurant then emerged from various corners.

They discussed with shocked expressions.

"One of our Junhai City's Four Young Masters was actually split in half by someone in just two moves. That's truly astonishing."

"More than a hundred closely coordinated powerhouses were all slaughtered without even touching the enemy's clothes. Would anyone believe that if it were told?"

"That person just said he was going to the Tang Family. Is he preparing to wipe out the entire Tang Family?"

"Our Junhai City is about to change!"

At this moment, Qin Shilei had already arrived in front of the Tang Family's main gate. He squeezed the neck of the person in his hand with force, breaking it, and then walked forward.

"Who are you? Stop right there!" Two guards immediately stepped forward to block Qin Shilei.

Bang! Bang!

Their answer was two lightning-fast kicks. Both men died before they even hit the ground.

"Who dares trespass into the Tang Family?"

A man like an iron tower walked out from inside the Tang Family and shouted loudly.
