Chapter 37 Attack
Chapter 37 Attack
......
Four hours later.
Qin Fengqing slowly opened her eyes, her whole body radiating energy. The energy she had previously consumed had been replenished, and the fatigue in her eyes had disappeared.
After tidying up, Qin Fengqing planned to complete the last fifth-rank mission.
He took out his phone and opened the mission details to read them carefully.
Mission: Clean up a medium-sized cult stronghold.
Location: Factory area in H City.
......
Recommended strength: A team of fifth-grade martial artists is recommended.
Unlike the small cult stronghold located on the outskirts of H City that was raided last time, this mission took place in a factory area of H City, where the cult fighters used the factory as cover and regarded it as their base.
However, the factory area was in the process of relocation, and most ordinary people had already left. The remaining ordinary people were still some distance away from the cult's stronghold, and the rest were all members of the cult.
They are not afraid that if a fight breaks out, it will affect ordinary people, or that cult members will use ordinary people as human shields.
After memorizing the information, Qin Fengqing got up and prepared to head out.
After getting up and storing the weapon in his storage space, he went to the garage to drive his car.
......
An hour later.
Following the clues, Qin Fengqing got out of the car after traveling some distance into the factory area, so as not to alert the enemy.
This is a factory area located in H City, covering a very large area. However, due to the increasing specialization of industries in recent years, this factory area is close to being abandoned and is sparsely populated.
This also gives cults an opportunity, since sparse population means they can move freely without restrictions. If they were in densely populated residential areas, the activities of cult fighters would be more likely to be reported by residents.
Qin Fengqing glanced at the time; it was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon.
With some time still until sunset, Qin Fengqing planned to wait until evening before taking action.
At this point, Qin Fengqing, who was at the mid-fourth rank, already possessed extremely strong night vision, while most of the martial artists at this cult stronghold were only at the low-rank level, making nighttime operations more convenient for Qin Fengqing.
The sun soon set, and night gradually enveloped the entire sky.
Lights were turned on in several locations throughout the factory area.
Qin Fengqing knew perfectly well that it was not the location of a cult stronghold, but rather the lights turned on by ordinary people who remained there.
Cult fighters wouldn't turn on such obvious lights to expose their location.
Qin Fengqing made her way through the darkness by the light of the moon.
Deeper into the factory area, one can only see a few extremely dim lights scattered throughout the abandoned large factory buildings and various corners of the factory, barely enough for a person to see the surrounding scene.
Qin Fengqing had already activated the energy barrier and reached the outside of the factory. There were only two people still on guard outside the factory.
One of them yawned and said, "Nobody would come to this godforsaken place, so why are we standing guard? Aren't we just bored?"
Another person replied, "Are there any guys who have nothing better to do than come looking for excitement in the middle of the night? If they accidentally expose our hideout, we'll be held accountable by the deacon!"
Just stand guard obediently and wait for someone to relieve you in 5 hours.
The yawning person waved their hand and said, "I can't take it anymore. I haven't slept for days. I'll stand up and doze off for a bit. Remember to wake me up later."
After saying that, he leaned against the pillar and fell asleep.
While the two were talking, Qin Fengqing had already crept up behind them in the dark.
Qin Fengqing, who had activated the energy barrier, remained completely silent.
"Snap!" With a twist of both hands, the man still on guard died on the spot.
The other person was sleeping so soundly that the sound of a neck being snapped wasn't even enough to wake him.
Qin Fengqing immediately followed suit and twisted the man's arm, killing him instantly in his sleep.
Qin Fengqing sensed the area outside the gate and, finding no one else behind it, opened a small crack and slipped inside.
Qin Fengqing concealed herself and circled around, only to find no one in the dormitory.
Upon entering the office area on the second floor, one finds a large crowd gathered.
Looking at the people coming and going in the office area, I wondered what they were all busy with.
Qin Fengqing thought to himself, "I didn't expect this place to also function as a black market."
That's right, right now everyone in the office is organizing resources and counting quantities, and some are even contacting sellers.
The fifth-rank peak steward of this stronghold is not here at the moment. Qin Fengqing sensed that the fifth-rank peak steward is currently in an office further past the office area.
After Qin Fengqing confirmed that no one had escaped from the first floor and that everyone was gathered there, she...
He took out the Phoenix Green Blade directly from his storage space, gripped it tightly with one hand, and continuously channeled his qi and blood into the blade.
Qin Fengqing made no unnecessary movements, standing with his sword in hand, the long sword poised to strike, the blade forming a sharp angle with the ground, and as his blood and qi flowed into it, the surface of the Fengqing sword shimmered with a bloody hue.
At this moment, a fourth-rank peak martial artist steward in the office area vaguely sensed that something was wrong. He looked at a fourth-rank high-level martial artist steward next door and asked, "Old Yu, do you feel that something is wrong? It seems like something bad is about to happen."
Old Yu asked suspiciously, "Did you not get enough rest? What kind of ominous feeling is this? This godforsaken place is full of ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, the fourth-rank peak deacon thought he had misjudged the situation and shook his head, saying, "Perhaps..."
Before he could finish uttering the word "ba," Qin Fengqing, who had already gathered his strength, stepped into the air, raised his hand, and shouted, "The Nine Techniques of the Azure Emperor—First Technique—Lin!"
"Buzz..."
A crisp whistling sound pierced the silence, and the blood-red longsword shot out, its blade taut in a straight line.
The next second, blood-red light surged, and the long sword slashed out with immense force.
Before the peak fourth-rank martial artist could finish speaking, his head fell off with a thud.
Its head rolled to the ground, but its eyes were still open.
"Is that my body?" This was the last trace of consciousness remaining in his mind.
This single strike beheaded all the standing martial artists present. Only a few seated cult members escaped unharmed, including the fourth-rank high-level cult deacon.
The office area immediately erupted in a commotion.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Everyone drew their weapons and pointed them at Qin Fengqing.
But how could a group of low-ranking martial artists plus a fourth-rank high-level martial artist be a match for Qin Fengqing? By the time the fifth-rank peak martial artist steward in the office realized something was wrong and came out with his weapon, all the evil cult martial artists in the office area had been killed by Qin Fengqing.
Upon seeing this, the bald-headed deacon's pupils constricted, and he directly slashed at Qin Fengqing with his knife.
Qin Fengqing parried with his backhand, and the two exchanged blows for dozens of rounds. Qin Fengqing seized an opening and chopped off the bald deacon's left hand.
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the bald deacon's face turned ferocious.
"I'll fight you to the death! The Divine Cult is invincible!"
After saying that, he unleashed all his energy and used his fighting techniques to slash at Qin Fengqing's head.
Qin Fengqing remained calm and said softly, "The Nine Techniques of the Azure Emperor—Second Technique—Military!"
The blade drew a curve as the weapons collided. The bald deacon only lasted a second before Qin Fengqing cleaved him, causing him to bleed profusely.
He collapsed to the ground and fainted. Qin Fengqing was about to step forward and finish him off.
My mental senses kept triggering alarms, and my body kept giving me warnings as well.
Qin Fengqing's pupils contracted slightly, and she immediately rolled backward frantically.
The spot where Qin Fengqing had been standing was blasted into a large crater by the two attacks, one from the left and one from the right, aimed directly at Qin Fengqing's face, clearly intending to kill him on the spot with a single blow.
Fortunately, Qin Fengqing's mental perception ability, which is close to 800 Hz, is extremely strong, and he gave an early warning. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would probably have been killed on the spot.
After Qin Fengqing steadied herself and looked up, she saw...
Two middle-aged martial artists, a man and a woman, were looking at the bald deacon with some regret.
The middle-aged woman said, "It's such a pity, you managed to dodge it!"
However, today is your death day!
Qin Fengqing carefully considered the two men's appearances, finding them somewhat familiar. A moment later, she remembered where she had seen them before – on the Magic Martial Arts Academy's mission board, though these two were wanted criminals on sixth-rank missions.
"You are... Liu Yan and Wang Bin!"
The two were also somewhat surprised.
"I didn't expect you to know both of us."
Qin Fengqing said calmly, "I didn't expect that you two are high-ranking deacons of an evil cult."
Liu Yan and Wang Bin had committed multiple murders and were extremely adept at hiding their crimes.
I never expected to run into the two of you here.
Liu Yan sneered, "So what if you recognize the two of us? You're still going to die today."
Wang Bin, standing to the side, was clearly very impatient.
"Why bother talking so much to this kid? He's just a fourth-rank martial artist. So what if he can kill a fifth-rank martial artist!"
Qin Fengqing gripped the hilt of the knife and adjusted her breathing slightly.
The battle just now didn't consume too much of Qin Feng's energy, but to be on the safe side, Qin Feng used the system to directly replenish his energy to its peak state.
Qin Fengqing knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die.
The next moment, Qin Fengqing no longer waited and slashed at the two of them through the air.
"kill!"
A dazzling light ripped through the void, the blade slashing towards Liu Yan and his companion.
Liu Yan and his companion were also surprised that Qin Fengqing, a fourth-rank martial artist, would dare to take the initiative to attack them instead of stalling for time, when they were two sixth-rank martial artists.
The two quickly raised their weapons to parry.
"Bang!"
The next moment, a huge explosion was heard in the air as the three weapons collided and made noise.
Before the two could even defend themselves, they were directly cleaved back by Qin Fengqing's sword.
Liu Yan and the other person had expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Liu Yan exclaimed in surprise, "How is this possible? You still have so much energy after killing that group of people! I clearly didn't see you take any pills."
Wang Bin, standing to the side, also became serious.
"Impossible! Even with elixirs, it's impossible to replenish everything this quickly. This kid's condition shows he's barely been depleted!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan cursed inwardly, "A bunch of useless trash!"
Seeing this, Qin Fengqing said calmly, "Two people who have just entered the early stage of the sixth rank dare to come and kill me?"
The next moment, Qin Fengqing shouted, "Bone Marrow Penetration!"
Qin Fengqing's entire body burst forth with crimson light, his blood and qi surged, and he flew directly towards the two of them.
The two also sensed the threat posed by Qin Fengqing's aura and blood, and they no longer concealed their power, unleashing their own full aura and blood.
In the blink of an eye, the three were locked in battle, with Qin Fengqing fighting two against one and forcing the two to retreat continuously.
The three exchanged dozens of blows at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Qin Fengqing punched Wang Bin squarely in the chest. The next moment, the force of the punch penetrated, and in the blink of an eye, the flesh on Wang Bin's chest exploded from Qin Fengqing's blow.
Wang Bin could only use the force of the current to fly away.
"Damn it, we can't let this kid continue to grow stronger! He's only at the fourth rank, yet he already has such strength!" Wang Bin shouted at Liu Yan, who was locked in combat with Qin Fengqing, while clutching his chest wound.
Liu Yan, also being forced back by Qin Fengqing's attacks, looked extremely grim. Hearing this, she angrily retorted, "Then why aren't you coming to help? We must finish this quickly! If we drag this out any longer, his reinforcements will arrive soon!"
The commotion from the three's battle was immense, with booming sounds carrying far and wide. If Qin Fengqing delayed any longer, they might receive reinforcements from a sixth-rank official.
Ignoring his chest injury, Wang Bin rushed straight towards the battlefield between the two.
Wang Bin gave a low shout and swiftly slashed out with his sword from a distance, causing the air to explode instantly.
Qin Fengqing was also somewhat overwhelmed by the attacks, after all, the burst of bone marrow penetration was only temporary, since the two opponents were both sixth-grade martial artists.
Qin Fengqing roared, and his longsword once again slashed through the air, clashing with Wang Bin's fist.
"boom!"
The impact of the three-person battle caused the entire factory to teeter on the brink of collapse.
"The Nine Secrets of the Azure Emperor—First Secret—Approach!"
Qin Fengqing immediately used his battle technique, channeling his blood and qi into the Fengqing Blade.
The originally reddish blade was now oozing with traces of blood and qi.
Seeing this, Liu Yan also shouted, "Slay Liu Yao!"
"Bang!"
Their weapons clashed again, their vital energies clashing, and they remained locked in a stalemate.
Wang Bin's face lit up with joy upon seeing this; he had seized the opportunity!
"Earthshaking Fist!"
He also unleashed his own power and used his fighting techniques to punch Qin Fengqing!
At this moment, Qin Fengqing was attacked from both sides, and Fengqing Blade was still constantly fighting against Liu Yan.
However, Qin Fengqing showed no worry at all; in fact, a smile appeared on her lips.
While still locked in a fierce struggle with Qin Fengqing, Liu Yan sensed something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Retreat! There's a trap!"
But it was too late.
Just as Wang Bin approached Qin Fengqing, a long knife instantly appeared in Qin Fengqing's left hand, which was not holding a knife.
It was the same C-grade alloy longsword he had been using before, now covered in cracks. The next second, Qin Fengqing let out a loud shout.
"burst!"
The C-grade alloy longsword in Qin Fengqing's left hand instantly shattered, breaking into pieces, but it did not scatter outwards.
Instead, it was tightly bound by a thick flow of qi and blood, maintaining the shape of the long sword.
"The Nine Secrets of the Azure Emperor—Second Secret—Military Strategy!"
"die!"
The official sixth-rank martial artist, who had already received the alarm, was not far from the factory. A soaring blade of light ripped through the sky and the void, illuminating the night with its blood-red brilliance!
