14: Kill Leopard Brother

Lu Qianyuan took all his resources and money, left the hotel, and went outside to buy a short blade.

District 49 does not prohibit blades, as their lethality is much smaller compared to Battle Spirits.

With the item in hand, Lu Qianyuan went into an alley, then activated Shadow Severing Slash, severing the shadow of a trash can.

As the shadow was cut, a gash also appeared on the trash can, splitting the entire can open.

However, with one swing of the blade, Lu Qianyuan also felt that his Origin Qi was almost completely depleted.

Although this ability was powerful, its drawback was also very obvious: its consumption was relatively high, and Lu Qianyuan could only swing once.

Lu Qianyuan put away his short blade, then took a taxi to the place where he had borrowed money.

By the time he arrived, his Origin Qi had almost recovered.

What if it's just one strike? Against someone like Brother Bao, one strike is enough.

Half an hour later, Lu Qianyuan arrived in front of a somewhat old casino.

This was Brother Bao's headquarters.

Along the way, Lu Qianyuan visited a stall selling Battle Spirits and bought a gray chameleon beast spirit, exchanging it for a skill.

There were many people and prying eyes here, so he still needed to be well disguised.

[Invisibility (Gray): Consumes Origin Qi to conceal one's figure]

In addition, he spent a hefty five thousand yuan to buy a potion that could quickly restore Origin Qi.

Lu Qianyuan came to an uninhabited corner, then activated his ability, and his body instantly became transparent.

Then, Lu Qianyuan quietly entered the casino. The casino was bustling with noise, filled with gamblers whose eyes were red with greed, pinning their hopes on the next hand.

For most people who had lost everything or almost everything, gambling allowed them to experience a final moment of joy and forget the pain of reality.

Lu Qianyuan bypassed these red-eyed gamblers and made his way to the back of the casino.

After some searching, he successfully found the office where he had previously met Brother Bao.

Relying on Spiritual Perception, Lu Qianyuan confirmed that Brother Bao was inside.

He did not rush to act, but instead went to the casino's restroom to hide, recovering his Origin Qi and keeping himself in optimal condition.

Not long after, Lu Qianyuan's Origin Qi was fully restored. He put his hand into his pocket, where the Slayer of Shadows Battle Spirit was stored.

Then, relying on Invisibility, he went to Brother Bao's office. At this time, only Brother Bao was in the office, making it an excellent opportunity for him to act.

Lu Qianyuan simulated his next actions in his mind.

Switch skill to Intermediate Agility Enhancement, activate Berserk, enter, switch to Shadow Severing Slash, cut off Brother Bao's shadow with one strike, and finish the job.

Lu Qianyuan simulated it once in his mind, and after confirming everything was correct, he, seeing no one around, dispelled Invisibility and switched to Intermediate Agility Enhancement.

Then, with lightning speed, he opened the door and entered, moving so fast that he even left a lingering afterimage.

At this moment, Brother Bao was just picking up a cup to drink water, and this sudden scene interrupted him, causing him to choke on his water.

But he immediately activated his Body Enhancement skill to increase his body's defense.

However, Lu Qianyuan pulled out his short blade at this moment and struck Brother Bao's shadow.

This scene filled Brother Bao with confusion, but the next second, he felt his body lighten, and his head slid to the ground, his last sight being his own headless body spewing blood.

Lu Qianyuan immediately stepped forward to catch Brother Bao's head, then, carrying his head, closed the door tightly.

After doing all this, he immediately took out the Origin Qi recovery potion from his backpack and drank it, then began to loot the body.

Brother Bao was a Second-Tier Spirit Master. In addition to his Natal Spirit, he also had two white Battle Spirits.

A total of three Battle Spirits, but only one Green quality skill.

[Tough Skin (Green): Increases one's skin defense]

It was somewhat useful, but not much, and not worth Lu Qianyuan risking to take this skill out.

Lu Qianyuan gave up on replacing the skill, then he chopped Brother Bao's head into pieces, to prevent anyone from using abilities to read memories and discover Lu Qianyuan's existence.

After chopping up Brother Bao's head, he turned to a corner of the office, then casually pressed a mechanism nearby.

The wall split open, revealing a safe inside.

Before Lu Qianyuan's Spiritual Perception, everything here was clearly presented in his mind, without any exceptions.

Lu Qianyuan concentrated, carefully perceiving the internal structure of the safe.

The safe's outer casing was made of special metal, very hard, and the safe was also connected to an alarm System.

If the password was entered incorrectly, it would directly trigger the alarm.

Lu Qianyuan carefully sensed it, then took out his short blade and cut a wire connected to the safe.

Everything was normal; the alarm did not sound.

Lu Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had sensed it with his Mental Energy, he could not be 100% certain.

Immediately after, he moved the safe out, then activated Shadow Severing Slash, directly cutting the safe open.

The safe was filled with cash, and there was also a packaged Green Battle Spirit.

Lu Qianyuan inspected all the loot, then picked out a few hidden trackers, and put the rest into his bag.

Unfortunately, the backpack's size was limited, so he could only fit a portion.

Now his Origin Qi had not recovered much, so he needed to wait a while for the Origin Qi recovery potion to take effect.

While Lu Qianyuan was waiting, he also sensed the outside movements, ensuring that he would not be suddenly discovered.

Fortunately, Lu Qianyuan's luck was not that bad, and no one broke in during this time.

When his Origin Qi recovered, Lu Qianyuan casually picked up Brother Bao's phone to check messages, hoping for some unexpected gains.

He picked up the phone and glanced at it, finding that Brother Bao had recently been in contact with someone named 'Scout'.

Brother Bao had asked the other party to search for Lu Qianyuan's location, offering forty thousand.

Lu Qianyuan silently noted down the other party's number, then continued to check.

Besides 'Scout', Lu Qianyuan also found someone noted as 'Brother Li'. From their conversation, the other party seemed to be Brother Bao's superior.

He noted down the number, then wiped his fingerprints clean and put the phone back.

After everything was done, Lu Qianyuan used the chameleon Battle Spirit he carried to copy the Invisibility ability.

Then he activated the ability and left Brother Bao's room.

Lu Qianyuan slowly left the casino, while also keeping an eye on Brother Bao's room, checking if anyone entered it during this time.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Lu Qianyuan successfully left the place.

After leaving the casino, Lu Qianyuan's excited heart slowly calmed down.

This was truly too thrilling: directly entering someone else's stronghold, then killing the enemy boss, looting it, and finally leaving the enemy stronghold.

If even the slightest accident had occurred during the entire process, Lu Qianyuan would have been discovered prematurely.

Although the consequences would not have been very serious, it was naturally best not to be discovered.

The thrilling and exciting process slowly restored some vitality to Lu Qianyuan's somewhat empty heart; he was getting addicted.
