CHAPTER 557: CHAPTER 572: OUT OF THE DRAGON’S POOL, INTO THE TIGER’S DEN

The two Tier Five Martial Artists attacked from the left and right, their aura extremely fierce.

However, Baiyu, in the state of forbidden armor enhancement, found this scene utterly inadequate.

As soon as the two made their move.

Baiyu’s body vanished from where he stood, reappearing between them.

A powerful wind pressure burst from both sides of the forbidden armor.

Two objects resembling air bullets shot out from the forbidden armor, landing on the Demon Blade Gang fighters.

This was an attack released after compression of Blood Qi by the forbidden armor.

Previously, Baiyu hadn’t used it due to insufficient Blood Qi.

Because with just one such move, he’d directly expend three thousand calories of Blood Qi.

Even a blood bull wouldn’t dare to use it as a minor skill for amusement.

However, despite the high Blood Qi consumption, the attack’s effect was remarkably significant.

The two Tier Five Martial Artists were almost unable to resist, instantly hit by the blast, their skin exploding into a gaping, grotesque wound.

Baiyu seized the opportunity to approach, using Moon Blade to swiftly end the lives of both.

With forbidden armor in hand.

For ordinary Martial Artists, it was a one-sided massacre.

Even if they were one level higher than Baiyu.

However.

The consumption was also extremely terrifying.

In just this short time, Baiyu’s Blood Qi was depleted.

Moreover, a wave of mental dizziness surged up.

This indicated that his Spiritual Power was also exhausted.

Forbidden armor, legendary ships, these things, though immensely powerful, consumed Spiritual Power terrifyingly.

And once your Spiritual Power is exhausted, various issues arise.

Such as hearing Evil God’s murmurs, becoming easily polluted, mental instability, and even susceptibility to mind intrusion, etc.

These are life-threatening dangers.

Whenever Baiyu used these things, he was extremely cautious.

Thankfully, his spirit was strong, highly resistant to pollution.

Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to use them like this.

Meanwhile.

Following the deaths of two vice gang leaders of Demon Blade Gang, the remaining gang members’ morale dampened.

A tendency towards defeat even emerged.

The leader of the Demon Blade Gang, being an underground Martial Artist.

Born of the common folk, he was quite inferior compared to experts from an established Martial Arts Family like Qiong Zhen.

Under Qiong Zhen’s attack, he could only barely hold on.

Soon, signs of defeat surfaced.

His expression changed, seeing his defeat inevitable, he gritted his teeth and fled backwards, regardless of his brothers’ fate.

An Elite Level Martial Artist, still a Tier Four Elite.

If determined to escape, it was difficult to apprehend on the same level, unless the gap between them was immense.

This is why Elite Level Martial Artists are hard to kill.

Qiong Zhen was already powerful enough.

He had at his fingertips various offensive Spirit Techniques, all were masterful secrets of the Qiong family.

Despite this.

He only managed to sever one of the opponent’s arms, severely injuring him.

Yet powerless to prevent his escape.

"Don’t pursue desperate foes, he’s already severely wounded, even if he recovers, his strength will be tenfold diminished; let it go if he can’t be caught."

Baiyu arrived, stopping Qiong Zhen from pursuing.

Whether he could be caught is another matter.

Given the current situation in Villiduo, without the presence of a Tier Four Martial Artist like Qiong Zhen, the safety of the Qiong Ning Business Association branch would be hard to ensure.

This battle.

Exposed the strength of the association to many people.

In the Outer City District, a mix of good and bad.

These people wouldn’t bother with any legalities.

If they find your strength lacking, they’ll swarm you and rob you clean.

Then hide in Villiduo’s slums or underground world to wait out the storm, afterward leave far away, without issue.

In fact.

Such things happen almost daily.

Moreover, with Qiong Zhen chasing out, there’s a high chance he wouldn’t catch up, and even a significant risk of falling into a reverse ambush.

Such pursuits are not worth it.

"Baiyu, this is letting the tiger go back to the mountain..."

Qiong Zhen hesitated.

"Just a sick cat, tomorrow I’ll summon Erza from Wind Dove City to the outskirts of Villiduo City, let’s see who dares to provoke me."

Baiyu replied indignantly.

Qiong Zhen was slightly startled.

Erza was in Wind Dove City.

Maintained by another branch of the Qiong Ning Business Association, spending at least hundreds of thousands on maintenance every month.

A million at times.

This is the consumption of a legendary ship.

Ordinary families simply cannot afford it.

Just the maintenance cost alone is despairing.

Not to mention using a legendary ship for battle, it truly burns money.

Moreover.

A legendary ship has many restrictions.

Normally, it cannot enter the main city at all.

The Glory Queen over Villiduo now was an exception.

And the Glory Queen represents the official, unrelated to private families.

Thus, Qiong Zhen was surprised.

He was curious about what exact reason Baiyu had used to bring the legendary ship.

Once someone catches hold of it.

It could very likely backfire.

"Don’t worry, I have a handle on this matter.

I am, after all, an Imperial Count, attacked like this in Villiduo, the Anomaly Bureau can’t spare more force to protect me.

What’s the issue if I bring Erza outside the city?"

Baiyu pointed to the corpses being disinfected in the yard outside.

Qiong Zhen fell silent.

Seeing his silence, Baiyu then said, "First clean the battlefield, clear the bloodstains from here, after all, we need to do business later.

Preserve the bodies well.

When the Anomaly Bureau inquires, I’ll have something to report.

Moreover.

One more matter.

Investigate thoroughly who was responsible for the Spirit Array design of this branch; obviously, the Spirit Array defense was activated, yet it broke like paper.

If there had been Spirit Array protection earlier, those two people wouldn’t have died.

This conflict.

Wouldn’t have happened!

Check it out, find it for me.

The association cannot have such troublemakers inside, or big issues will surely arise sooner or later."

Baiyu’s voice was unwavering.

Qiong Zhen nodded repeatedly.

Though he was a clan elder of the Qiong Clan, in front of this young man, he indeed dared not act big.

Currently, the only one in the Qiong family who can balance him is his teacher Qiong Jiu.

But that master is still in seclusion, when he’ll come out is unknown.

After giving the instructions.

Baiyu went to a side where two servants of the Qiong Ning Business Association had already simply bandaged the Ji-surnamed female.

And also the poor man with his Blood and Qi Central Hub destroyed.

Generally speaking.

Being crippled of the Blood and Qi Central Hub means being inferior to even ordinary people in the future, life will rapidly wither.

But this injury doesn’t affect current living.

"Let’s go inside first."

After confirming the two’s injuries were not problematic, Baiyu invited them into the hall.

Ji Ling felt uneasy inside.

But at this moment, she dared not have other thoughts.

Despite Baiyu’s life-saving grace, she was not grateful.

Because she was unsure if now she had escaped one trap only to fall into another.

"Hand over the things, and moreover, tell me the cause and effect of the matter."

Entering the hall.

Baiyu’s tone was indifferent, causing the two to feel a jolt inside.

Indeed.

They had fallen into another pit.

And this pit was even more formidable than the Demon Blade Gang.

Ji Ling lowered her head, remained silent, her eyes glancing around, her heart gradually despairing.

Under such circumstances.

She simply couldn’t escape.
