"Senior Brother Qin!"

Upon seeing Qin Ming suddenly appear, Ye Wei burst into tears of joy.

They are saved.

"What did you just say? Someone kidnapped the Embroiderer and her senior sister?"

Qin Ming emerged from the ruins, and with each step he took, the terrifying flames on his body intensified, making him appear as if Fire God had descended.

"They're from the Wild Wolf Gang and the Black Tiger Gang!"

"Court death!"

The killing intent in Qin Ming's eyes instantly materialized. He stomped his foot and shot out like a rocket, smashing a large hole in the wall of the County Yamen.

"Qin Ming's strength..."

Xiong San's eyes widened, and his pupils suddenly contracted. It seemed that his junior disciple had greatly improved his strength through this seclusion!

Suddenly realizing something, he immediately went to Qin Ming's secluded room. When he saw the two empty boxes and the bathtub filled with water, he instantly understood.

Qin Ming has mastered the "Fire Poison Art," greatly increasing his power. There will be no one in Qingyang City who can rival him.

"No, let them go!"

Amidst the chaotic scene in the courtyard, Lu Liu let out a painful howl.

He was nailed to the wall, his limbs pierced by four spears, and he was completely unable to move.

Someone searched the yard from top to bottom, but found nothing.

"Brother, we found nothing –Spirit Medicine, martial arts manuals, silver notes – Qin Ming must have taken them with him!"

"That damned beast, he must have taken him to secluded cultivation! We made a wasted trip!"

The leaders were the second-in-command of the Wild Wolf Gang and the third-in-command of the Black Tiger Gang.

After Qin Ming successively killed the leaders of the two major gangs, the two gangs joined forces, ostensibly to avenge their leaders, but in reality, they planned to plunder Qin Ming's wealth while he was away.

Qin Ming robbed all the Spirit Medicine, silver notes, and martial arts manuals from the two major gangs and the Zheng Family, making them extremely envious. In addition, the Ghost Fog had already invaded the city, and Ghost Entity were appearing one after another to eat people. In this precarious situation, they could no longer care about anything else.

Even if they don't die at Qin Ming's hands, they'll be killed by the Ghost Entity. So what's there to worry about?

"Tell me! Where did that kid hide all the stolen goods?!"

A bald, burly man dug his fingers into Lu Liu's wounds, gradually increasing the pressure. Lu Liu's wounds bled profusely, and he turned pale with pain, his forehead covered in cold sweat. Even so, he gritted his teeth and refused to let go.

This man is the current leader of the Savage Tiger Gang, formerly the third -Savage Tiger Gang, nicknamed Black Panther.

"No comment! Once Junior Brother emerges from seclusion, you will all be dead! Not a single one will be left!"

Lu Liu laughed loudly, his gaze disdainful, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Fuck you! I'm not even sure I'll live to see tomorrow, and you dare threaten me with that kid!"

Black Panther cursed and rained blows on Lu Liu.

Lu Liu was hit so hard that blood spurted from his mouth and nose, and the wall behind him was smashed open like a spider web.

Meanwhile, someone had their eyes on Li Shengnan and the Embroiderer.

"I heard these two women are very important to Qin Ming. If they die, he'll be devastated, won't he?"

An old man with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks burst into loud laughter.

He was the second-in- Wild Wolf Gang, nicknamed Jackal. He was greedy, lustful, and cruel, and had already harmed thousands of innocent women.

"What, Jackal, are you interested in these two girls?"

Black Panther stopped, his gaze falling on Li Shengnan: "This one's mine, all muscle, looks incredibly savage. That Sleeping Beauty is yours."

"Wonderful!"

The Jackal clapped its hands, a glint of greed gleaming in its tiny, beady eyes.

Upon hearing this, the gang members quickly made way.

The Black Panther and the Jackal exchanged a glance, smiled knowingly, and walked into the house together.

Lu Liu forced his head up, a look of helplessness and resentment flashing across his face.

"Junior Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'm so sorry..."

Tears welled up in Lu Liu's eyes, and he burst into tears.

He hated himself for being useless.

He couldn't protect his Master, and he couldn't even protect his senior sister and junior Junior Brother's wives.

Even Lu Liu couldn't hold back at this moment.

A man doesn't easily shed tears, unless he's truly heartbroken.

"Senior brother, don't cry."

A voice whispered in Lu Liu's ear.

Lu Liu's heart jolted. He mustered all his strength to lift his head, his eyelids swollen like blisters as he looked around, searching for that figure.

Ah--

In the arena, swords flashed and clashed.

Crimson sword energy instantly filled every corner of the courtyard.

Dozens of members of the Black Tiger Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang were beheaded in the blink of an eye.

Dozens of heads rolled onto the ground.

Qin Ming!

Hearing the commotion, the Jackal and the Black Panther turned around and were instantly terrified by what they saw.

The two reacted quickly, rushing towards the Embroiderer and Li Shengnan on the bed. Only by capturing them as hostages could they have a chance to survive.

A flash of mockery crossed Qin Ming's eyes.

The next moment, a flash of light appeared.

The Black Panther and the Jackal were split in two, their intestines and internal organs spilling out onto the ground.

"Junior Brother!"

Li Shengnan's eyes were filled with tears.

She was still recovering from her injuries and was no match for these people, so she had no power to resist. If Qin Ming hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Senior sister, it's alright now."

Qin Ming offered a few words of comfort before going to the Embroiderer's bedside.

The Embroiderer remained unconscious, but her complexion was rosy and she appeared unaffected.

Xiong San, accompanied by Ye Wei, arrived shortly after. Upon seeing the human heads and entrails scattered on the ground, even the well-informed Xiong San was horrified.

He had seen many battlefields, but this was the first time he had ever seen a slaughterhouse.

"Senior Brother Lu!"

Seeing that Lu Liu was on the verge of death, Ye Wei rushed forward to save him.

"Don't move!"

Qin Ming stepped forward and spoke up to stop them.

"Senior Brother Lu has lost a lot of blood. If you pull the spear out like that, he will die from excessive blood loss!"

"Oh? What should we do then?"

Startled, Ye Wei quickly withdrew his hand.

"Go and fetch a doctor immediately!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

"I'll go."

Xiong San stopped Ye Wei, "The city is in chaos right now. It's getting dark, and many Ghost Entity are taking the opportunity to hunt."

After saying that, Xiong San immediately went out and left.

Qin Ming looked at the gloomy sky and fell silent.

Does this awful weather even distinguish between day and night?

Seeing the four spears embedded in Lu Liu's body, Qin Ming took a deep breath. "Senior brother, bear with it!"

He had to pull out the spear first, otherwise Lu Liu would bleed to death before the doctor arrived.

A flame appeared in Qin Ming's palm, radiating waves of intense heat.

The next moment, he suddenly pulled out one of the spears, and the flames in his palm immediately landed on the wound.

"Sizzle!"

The bloody, mangled wound was instantly scalded by the high-temperature flames.

Qin Ming's fiery palm was like a high-temperature branding iron, instantly scalding the wound, but it also stopped the bleeding. Qin Ming then used the same method to pull out the remaining spears, and finally placed Lu Liu on the bed.

"Senior brother, you should rest first. The doctor will be here soon."

Qin Ming fed Lu Liu several Healing Pills and Qi-Blood Pills.

He had obtained many of these things from the two major gangs and the Zheng Family, so he was not lacking at all.

Looking at the three people lying on the bed, Qin Ming's gaze darkened slightly.

The Ghost Fog thickened and tightened, leaving him little time.

Fortunately, he used up all his resources in the past two days and successfully raised his cultivation level to the Late Flesh-Refining Realm, not far from the Perfected Flesh-Refining Realm.

But thinking of that Silver-Haired Evil Ghost, Qin Ming still wasn't confident he could kill it.

Not to mention he wasn't sure if the Silver-Haired Evil Ghost was the most powerful being in the Ghost Fog.

"Wangjing Prefecture should have received news of this place by now, right?"

Qin Ming thought to himself.

But he also knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die. If he waited for the people from Wangjing Prefecture to come to his rescue, the end result would basically be certain death.

Soon after, Xiong San returned with a doctor, and after some treatment, Lu Liu's injuries finally stabilized.

Qin Ming and Xiong San went outside and talked about the changes in the city.

Upon learning that Qingyang City was in such a state of chaos, and that Ghost Entity were causing trouble, a flash of killing intent crossed Qin Ming's eyes.

"These damned bastards deserve to die!"

"Alright, with proper rest and recuperation, there shouldn't be any major problems."

The doctor came out, cupped his hands in greeting, and looked somewhat troubled as he saw that it was already dark outside.

"Well... it's getting late, I'll trouble you Chief Constable, to escort me back."

"I'll do it."

Qin Ming said, "I was just about to go out for a bit."

Xiong San's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Qin Ming was preparing to unleash a massacre.

"Leave this to me, I'll make sure they're safe."

Xiong San didn't say much, but his words were enough to reassure Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded and left with the doctor.

It had become completely dark.

The streets were deserted; there wasn't a single person in sight.

A cold wind blew by, and the sounds of things rolling and clattering could be heard from time to time on the street.

The doctor, seeing this scene, inwardly cursed his bad luck.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiong San, a well-known butcher, personally asked him to help, he would never have been able to make house calls at night.

Fortunately, Qin Ming accompanied him on the way back, which immediately gave him more confidence.

This is a formidable man who has killed the county magistrate, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, and the head of the Zheng Family.

Would someone like that, who's protecting themselves, be afraid of Ghost Monsters?

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the wooden door next to him shattered, and then a dark figure rushed towards the doctor.

It was a human head.

"Ah! Help!"

The doctor was so frightened that he screamed and his legs went weak.

"Ghost Entity!"

Qin Ming's face turned cold. He slapped his hand, activating his Fire Poison Art, and with one hand forming a claw, he gripped the opponent's face tightly, exerting a sudden force.

With a "pfft," the ghost face was instantly crushed.

Looking at the doctor, who was trembling and hiding behind the door, Qin Ming chuckled:

"It's just a little devil, don't be afraid."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

He breathed a huge sigh of relief when he saw the monster eliminated.

The rest of the journey was quite easy, and they didn't encounter any other Ghost Entity. Just as they were about to reach home, flames suddenly shot into the sky ahead, and faint, shrill screams could be heard from afar.

"That's my home! Help me, sir! That's my home!"

The doctor's eyes were bloodshot.

A gang of thugs are currently burning, killing, and looting his house!

Qin Ming stared at one of them, his eyes flashing.

What is he doing here?
