Chapter 31: Qi Refining Level Seven Cultivator

Qin Wu dragged the doorkeeper, who looked like a dead dog, inside and saw the group fighting fiercely. He asked in surprise, “What is going on here?”

Seeing Qin Wu suddenly appear, Han Xu and the guard captain simultaneously separated, sizing him up without making a sound.

However, because Qin Wu was holding the half-dead middle-aged man, Han Xu was not very nervous. Even if this person had different objectives than them, he was surely an enemy of the Ge Family as well.

Jing Yang saw Xiao Yu and quickly darted out from behind Qin Wu. Before anyone else could react, he ran up to Xiao Yu, “Why did they capture you? Is everything alright?”

“I’m fine, Reporter Han saved me.” Seeing that Qin Wu hadn’t fully reacted, Xiao Yu subconsciously mentioned the Ge Family servants planting tea trees, “It’s just that the spirit poison on me has gotten worse.”

“As long as you’re okay, that’s what matters!”

Jing Yang suppressed the anger in his heart. The Ge Family was a behemoth to them; even knowing such an evil deed, what could they possibly do?

“Let’s escape first.”

“Trying to run?” The guard captain snorted, “I already sent a message to the patrolling Cultivators outside. When they arrive, hundreds of people will surround the few of you. Do you think you can escape?”

Qin Wu silently observed the surroundings, giving Han Xu an extra look. Then, he took out unthinking and, with one sword strike, sliced off the doorkeeper’s head, splashing blood onto his own face.

Listening to the Life Value that registered on the panel, he wiped the blood from his face, summoned his emotions, and his eyes began to fill with anger.

“I studied Moral Education since I was little. Everything around me taught me to be a good person! I never expected such a heinous act to be happening here!”

“Truly… unforgivable!”

It was clearly the speech of an inexperienced youth, but looking at Qin Wu’s blood-splattered face, the guard captain inexplicably felt a chill. The way his mouth was stretched so wide, why did it feel like he was smiling?

He couldn’t help but smile.

He had initially planned to rescue the person and flee. Who would have thought he would run into Han Xu and the others? Now that someone was tying up the high-level combat power, the rest of them would surely fall into his grasp.

These weren’t enemies; they were clearly his Life Value!

“Reporter Han, I’ll help you!” Qin Wu shouted loudly. His unthinking moved slightly, and white mist permeated the corridor, covering everyone.

However, Han Xu and the others could clearly see the scene in the fog. Double Ponytail exclaimed excitedly, “Good kid!”

Although this mist could, at most, only confuse the eyes of Qi Refining Level Three or Four Cultivators, it still made things much easier for them.

Qin Wu fed Consort Lian three huiyuan pills to restore her Spiritual Qi, and he swallowed a few himself, just in case the two of them ran low on Spiritual Qi. Then, with Consort Lian assisting, he specifically targeted and killed those with lower cultivation.

Seeing his subordinates being cut down one by one, the guard captain roared, “Kill him!”

Qin Wu clicked his tongue, killed two more Cultivators, and his Life Value reached 110. He lingered no longer and sent a telepathic message to Consort Lian.

A high-pitched laugh suddenly burst into the air, causing even the guard captain to momentarily lose focus.

“Run!”

Qin Wu had not forgotten that the main purpose of coming here today was to rescue that child. If they delayed any longer, the people outside might corner them here.

As they escaped, Han Xu slapped several Explosion Talismans onto the guard captain’s body. After getting out, they only heard violent explosions roaring from the corridor.

The group got into the elevator. Han Xu took out a card and swiped it, lighting up the button for the first floor.

The elevator slowly ascended. As the doors opened, they came face-to-face with a squad of Cultivators.

Han Xu gritted his teeth, “I’ll hold them off, you guys run first!”

“Go!” Double Ponytail made a decisive move, taking out a forbidden item. “Get close to me. This thing can distort others’ perception and make them unable to see us.”

The group charged toward the main door. Qin Wu glanced at the twitching piece of flesh in Double Ponytail’s hand, and his heart skipped a beat.

Could that thing possibly be the body tissue of a Black Mist Monster?

He paused for a moment and recounted the bloody tragedy that happened to the Black-clothed Cultivator yesterday.

The group paused their steps. Only Xiao Yu, confused about the situation, looked at them blankly, “What’s wrong?”

“N-no, it’s nothing,” Double Ponytail swallowed hard. “It’s fine, it’s fine, my Luck has always been very good. As for the issue of it mutating, let’s discuss that after we get out!”

Double Ponytail nervously clutched the piece of flesh, quickening her pace slightly. Finally reaching the main door, they saw over a dozen Cultivators surrounding the entrance.

“What do we do? Should we charge out?” Pink Hair asked quietly.

“No,” the middle-aged woman shook her head. “There’s a Qi Refining Level Six Cultivator. Although we can defeat them if we join forces, it will inevitably waste time, and we might attract more guards, which would be more troublesome.”

Jing Yang asked doubtfully, “Then can’t we just find any room and go out the window?”

“The windows here are specially made; we can’t break them,” Double Ponytail’s brow was filled with anxiety.

Qin Wu timely raised unthinking in his hand, “I can try.”

She looked at the long sword in Qin Wu’s hand with some suspicion, but she had no choice but to trust him. “Fine. I know there’s a locked back door on the first floor. If you can open it, we’ll leave through the back door!”

Double Ponytail turned around and led the people back.

“It’s here.”

She pointed to the tightly locked glass door. Qin Wu immediately drew his long sword and brought it down forcefully.

The glass door instantly shattered.

“Go!” Double Ponytail said, beaming with joy.

“Wait!” Pink Hair suddenly grabbed her, pointing to the corridor on the right with an anxious expression. “That’s the boss!”

They saw Han Xu running over, covered in blood and staggering, his aura weak. Several guards were still chasing him.

“I’ll go help him!” Saying that, Pink Hair was about to leave the group.

Qin Wu saw that the enemies chasing them only included one Qi Refining 5th Layer Cultivator, with the rest being Level Three or Four. He righteously stepped forward, “I’ll come too!”

Pink Hair looked at him with a grateful expression.

Once they moved away from Double Ponytail’s group, Han Xu immediately spotted them, “What are you guys doing here?”

Pink Hair rushed behind Han Xu without a word and smashed his twin hammers toward the Qi Refining 5th Layer Cultivator.

Qin Wu’s long sword lunged toward the others, even as his Life Value continuously dropped.

【Sword Technique Mist Concealment Flowing Cloud has broken through】

【Cultivation Technique: Mist Concealment Flowing Cloud (Second Layer · Mist Turns to Silk) — Progress: 0%

Core Effect: The mist around the body transforms into thousands of silk threads that can entangle the body or probe for enemies. When silk threads entangle the enemy, they can control the foe and impede movement. When probing, they can sense the flow of Spiritual Qi within ten zhang to predict attacks.

Ultimate Sword Style: Silk Entanglement and Sword Concealment — Thousands of silk threads wrap around the blade and the body. When the sword strikes, the silk threads shoot out with the sword’s momentum. Upon touching the enemy, the silk threads adhere to the Meridians, obstructing the circulation of Qi. When the sword move hits, the silk threads scatter, condensing mist to conceal the body, allowing for an instantaneous retreat of three zhang】

【Current Life Value: 10】

Mist surged, and thousands of silk threads shot out, wrapping around the enemies. Coupled with Consort Lian’s secret technique control, they were momentarily unable to move.

Qin Wu’s sword flashed, and several heads flew into the air, blood pillars shooting toward the sky.

【Life Value + 10】

【Life Value + 15】

【Life Value + 15】

…

【Current Life Value: 70】

Messages continuously popped up on the panel. Pink Hair had also finished dealing with the Qi Refining 5th Layer Cultivator.

“Go!”

The two of them supported Han Xu and sprinted toward the back door.

At that moment, a terrifying aura came from behind them, relentlessly closing in.

Pink Hair exclaimed in horror, “A Qi Refining Level Seven Cultivator?!”
