What Are You Lookin' At?

"Patrol Bureau?"

The crowded throng came to an abrupt halt. Someone's eyes lit up, wanting to ask for help.

But after seeing the young man's cold expression and the blood still staining his blade, they rationally chose to give up.

In the end, the crowd flowed apart before Li Qingshan like water.

With nothing blocking his way, Li Qingshan rushed before the target Fierce Beast in barely ten seconds.

The surrounding area had already been "cleared." Within three meters, only severed limbs and mangled corpses remained. The Fierce Beast had one front paw pressed atop a corpse as it tore at the victim's arm.

This Fierce Beast looked somewhat leaner than Wolf Poison, but its muscles were more streamlined, and its claws gleamed with a cold light.

Li Qingshan stomped down hard with his right foot and charged forward with his Chopping Knife raised.

The Fierce Beast suddenly lifted its head. Its bloodthirsty eyes locked onto the approaching man as it sprang forward.

In an instant, it crossed seven or eight meters. Claws and blade were about to collide.

"Faster than Wolf Poison!"

Li Qingshan's gaze sharpened slightly as his left foot took an unfathomable step.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared behind the Fierce Beast. His Chopping Knife swept upward from below in a Backhand Upward Slash.

The facts proved that this move was not only effective against Wolf Poison—it worked just as well against other Fierce Beasts.

Roar—gah!

A familiar scream rang out, and Li Qingshan's strikes became increasingly fierce.

The Fierce Beast before him was indeed faster than Wolf Poison, but it still had not surpassed the movement limits of Great Accomplishment Mizong Step.

No matter how it twisted and shifted its body, Li Qingshan was always one step ahead, standing behind it.

In less than half a minute,

Its anus split, its belly ruptured, and its organs spilled out. The Fierce Beast's body suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Li Qingshan sheathed his knife and stood tall, smiling smugly.

"Looks like when killing Fierce Beasts, you still have to use your trump card!"

If he had chosen to fight head-on, even using Great Accomplishment Wind Shadow Blade, he could not possibly have ended it so quickly.

Moreover, turning blade light into shadows consumed a great deal of stamina. He could not have fought so easily.

"It's just too damn smelly."

Li Qingshan swept his eyes over the grime staining his blade and frowned slightly.

Still, this was not the time to wash his knife.

Li Qingshan turned to look at the remaining Fierce Beasts, then charged out again.

[Monster killed. Martial Arts Space Experience +1. Available Time Increase: 1 year.]

[Monster killed. Martial Arts Space Experience +1. Available Time Increase: 1 year.]

Five minutes later, the third Fierce Beast fell beneath Li Qingshan's blade.

The hall had become empty, leaving only mutilated corpses and severed limbs scattered across the floor.

Near the exit, two or three hundred people were still packed into a knot before the iron doors. Cries and screams intertwined in utter chaos.

Five minutes should originally have been enough for all the remaining spectators to evacuate.

But under the threat of the Fierce Beasts, everyone had lost their minds, shoving, pulling, and cursing.

Quite a few had not died beneath the Fierce Beasts' claws, but had instead fallen and been trampled to death alive.

Li Qingshan watched the last Fierce Beast chasing the crowd from behind. Rather than raising his knife and charging over, he lowered his head and looked toward the ground.

At least a hundred people had died in the hall. Severed limbs and corpses lay everywhere.

By all rights, blood should have long since covered the floor, turning it into a muddy mess.

But it had not.

The ground beneath his feet was clean and dry. Aside from faint dark-red bloodstains, not even scabs remained on the floor.

It was as though all the blood had vanished into thin air.

"No, it didn't vanish. It was absorbed!"

Li Qingshan shifted his gaze and swept it across the mangled corpses on the ground.

At some point, these severed limbs and corpses had stopped looking "fresh."

Their flesh and blood had withered. Every corpse was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye—and growing faster and faster.

"Flesh Demon God!"

Li Qingshan's expression tightened as he recalled You Qingya's final words before she died.

'Everyone will die. All of you will die!'

"So although You Qingya is dead, the 'Sacrifice' hasn't stopped?"

The thought flashed through his mind, sending a chill through Li Qingshan's heart.

An Evil God Sacrifice was a field he had never touched. Though he did not know what would happen next, it would definitely be nothing good.

"Time to go!"

Li Qingshan made his decision at once. Moving his feet, he rushed toward the iron exit doors.

Behind the crowd, several men and women who had been driven into a corner by the Fierce Beast saw Li Qingshan charging over. Light burst from their previously despairing eyes.

"Quick! Kill the Fierce Beast!"

"Save me! Save us!"

Though everything had been chaotic before, they had still noticed this young man from the Patrol Bureau hunting the Fierce Beasts.

He was powerful. He could definitely save them from the Fierce Beast's jaws.

Among them, a middle-aged man in a suit stood at the back, seemingly someone of considerable status.

Seeing that he was about to escape danger, the terror faded from his face, and he immediately shouted angrily,

"Why did your Patrol Bureau only send one person? Hurry up! If I get hurt, I'll definitely file a complaint with the Federation once I get out!"

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd,

Li Qingshan swiftly rushed behind the Fierce Beast, sheathed his knife, stepped sideways, and brushed past it.

"Huh?"

Everyone froze as they watched Li Qingshan pass the Fierce Beast... and pass them...

The Fierce Beast roared and swung its claws. The men and women at the front were instantly ripped into pieces.

The stench of blood washed over them, and the gaping maw was right before their eyes.

The middle-aged man in the suit abruptly turned around, seized Li Qingshan's sleeve tightly, and pleaded,

"I'm Councilor Pei's secretary from the city! Save me! Your Patrol Bureau has to save me!"

Li Qingshan paused, frowning at the middle-aged man in the suit as he pried open the man's fingers one by one.

"You've misunderstood. I'm not from the Patrol Bureau."

The middle-aged man in the suit froze. A vicious light appeared in his eyes as he raised a hand to point at Li Qingshan.

"You... ah!"

His words abruptly cut off, turning into a scream. The Fierce Beast bit down around his waist and abdomen, lifting him into the air.

Just then,

The floor shattered. Dust and smoke billowed as a flash of silver light vanished in an instant.

The Fierce Beast suddenly went limp on the ground, its lower half completely gone.

"What kind of weapon is that?"

Li Qingshan sucked in a cold breath and carefully examined the enormous weapon vaguely visible through the dust.

The weapon was shaped like a crescent moon, its entire body glowing with silvery-white light.

It was a full three meters in diameter, one end embedded in the ground while the other reached all the way to the ceiling.

"Moon Essence Wheel?"

A scene he had watched in the film Legend of Sword and Fairy in his previous life involuntarily surfaced in Li Qingshan's mind.

Though this was the Interstellar Era and had nothing to do with immortal swordplay, the two looked far too alike.

"Cold Moon Flying Shuttle!"

A shout rang out. Li Qingshan frowned and lowered his head, only to see the middle-aged man in the suit lying on the ground, his waist and abdomen still trapped in the Fierce Beast's jaws.

Though his clothes had already been dyed red with blood, the Fierce Beast had died too quickly to bite him in half.

"The Sky Patroler is here! I'm saved!"

The middle-aged man in the suit was wild with joy. His gaze swept over Li Qingshan, carrying an indecipherable meaning.

But the Sky Patroler had not yet arrived. It was not time for revenge yet.

He quickly lowered his head, hiding his thoughts.

"What are you lookin' at?"

A voice sounded beside his ear, and the middle-aged man in the suit looked up in astonishment.

At some point, Li Qingshan had crouched beside him, staring at him intently with both eyes.

"Don't, don't misunderstand. I wasn't looking at you." The middle-aged man in the suit forced out a smile.

"No, you were."

Li Qingshan shook his head and rose to his feet.

"Forget it. It doesn't matter anymore."

He lifted his right foot high, aiming it at the Fierce Beast's head.

Under the middle-aged man's despairing gaze, he stomped down hard.

Squelch!

The sharp teeth cleanly pierced flesh and crushed the spine.

Blood seeped from the middle-aged man in the suit's mouth, and the life gradually faded from his wide-open eyes.
