Qi Shu was heading to an abandoned factory. There were more wild beasts here, so there might be more mutated beasts that had absorbed the source of life.
However, as soon as he arrived, he heard a huge commotion inside. It seemed like his thoughts were right. There was a creature that had absorbed the source of life here.
Qi Shu took a few steps and went up to the roof of the abandoned factory to check on the situation inside. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the attack of so many cats and dogs.
Qi Shu checked on the situation inside. A bald man was confronting a black cat. However, looking at the size of the black cat, it was better to call it a black panther instead of a cat.
The bald man had the ability to control fire with one hand. He cut off all the escape routes of the black cat. If it were not for the black cat’s extreme agility, it would have been defeated long ago.
Qi Shu soon realized that the bald man had the ability to kill the black cat. However, he seemed to need to capture the black cat alive. He did not attack it to the full of his abilities every single time.
When Qi Shu saw this scene unfold before him, he no longer intended to treat the black cat as prey. After all, this man had arrived first. There was no need for him to get into a conflict with these people. It would not be good for him if he was a member of the government.
Qi Shu then stood up and took a small step forward. He wanted to leave this place. However, the roof of this abandoned factory seemed to have been out of repair for a long time. The tiles on it shattered after he took a light step.
Fortunately, Qi Shu reacted quickly. He bent down and patted the ground lightly. He then prepared to leave the factory.
The bald man inside had knocked the black cat out and was holding it in his hand. Suddenly, he heard movement above the factory. He then raised his hand to launch a large fireball towards Qi Shu.
Qi Shu cursed under his breath. He could feel the heat from the flames distinctly. He would definitely feel uncomfortable if he got burnt. The supernatural powers of a mutant were indeed extraordinary.
He flipped himself over and dodged the fireball, but he could not avoid the heat. His face was flushed due to the heat.
The bald man slowly walked out, and only then did he manage to get a good look at the man’s face. There was a scary scar on the man’s face. The scar extended from the bottom of his left eye to the bridge of his nose and all the way to his lips.
At that moment, the man with a scar on his face let out a cold smile. The scars on his face trembled slowly. He looked scary, and his tone was as cold as ice. “So it’s a little kid. Are you leaving just like that?”
Qi Shu frowned. “Why? I’m just passing by. Do you want to collect protection fees?”
Qi Shu did not give in. He did not show any fear through the tone of his voice or his actions. This man was obviously an outlaw. He would push his luck if he appeared weak. There was no need to fight with him over a black cat.
The scar-faced man threw the black cat aside and sneered], “You don’t have to pay protection fees after seeing my scarred face. I’m very amiable, right?”
Qi Shu was too lazy to waste time talking to this fellow. He snorted coldly and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll be leaving first!”
Qi Shu took a few steps back. When he felt that he was at a safe distance away from the man, he prepared to leave.
However, the scar-faced man was waiting for this moment. He took out a silencer from his pocket, aimed at Qi Shu, and fired several shots at him. He had aimed his shots at the critical parts of Qi Shu’s body.
Qi Shu looked at the bulletss, which were inches away from him. He immediately exerted all of his strength. He then rolled on the ground and hid behind a rock.
This man was indeed an outlaw. He wanted to kill anyone that he saw. Everything was was still fine a few days ago. The government was in control of the nearby areas. Now that the source of life had erupted, countless wild beasts had evolved. The government did not have the time to care about them. These people had already started acting recklessly.
The scar-faced man shot wildly at the rock. A perverted expression appeared on his face. Right then, he was already thinking about ways to torture and kill Qi Shu.
“Hehe! Little kid, why are you running? Why don’t you come play with me?”
The scar-faced man opened fire at Qi Shu as he slowly approached him. His eyes were filled with a murderous intent.
Qi Shu hid behind a rock. The aura surrounding him slowly changed. He showed off his battle stance and picked up a rock in front of him. After that, he suddenly dashed out and threw the rock in his hand over, which sent the man’s pistol flying.
The scar-faced man did not care about this at all. He smiled even more cruelly and licked his lips excitedly.
“I didn’t expect you to be so strong. You’re a young genius, but unfortunately, you’re going to die in my hands. Just thinking about it makes me excited.”
The scar-faced man spread his hands, and a ball of flame appeared in his hands. With a gentle push of his palm, he charged over.
Qi Shu huffed coldly. He lowered his body and ran at full speed. He circled around the scorching fireball. A ferocious tiger would use its full strength to chase after a rabbit. Moreover, this guy was not a rabbit. He was a hungry wolf instead.
The scar-faced man did not expect him to move so quickly. He reacted at once when he noticed that Qi Shu was about to get close to him. He waved his hands and a long whip formed from flames appeared in his hands. He waved it over.
Qi Shu moved away quickly and narrowly dodged the fire whip. Although he did not get hit, the shockingly hot flames burnt off the chest area of his clothes. His chest stung in pain due to the searing heat.
“How troublesome!”
“Hehe!! You really are a little genius. Unfortunately, you’re just a weak evolver. You’ll never be able to catch up with us mutants!”
The scar on the scar-faced man’s face, coupled with his maniacal laughter, made him look like a psycho. Right then, he waved the fire whip in his hand wildly and threw fireballs toward Qi Shu with his other hand. The frequency of his attacks was extremely high.
“Either one of us would die here today. I’m going all out.”
Qi Shu was dodging his attacks back and forth right now. Many parts of his body was already charred black. He had to end this quickly. Otherwise, he would definitely be faced with death.
Qi Shu jumped away and landed in front of an abandoned tricycle. He kicked the tricycle hard and sent it flying. He then leaped over to the left side of the tricycle.
“Hmph! Are you fighting with all your might? However, I’m not done yet!!”
The scar-faced man suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a wisp of pure white flames. The temperature of the surrounding air began to rise as soon as the flames appeared. The entire tricycle was then completely burnt to ashes.
Qi Shu’s hair stood on end when he caught sight of the white flames. If he got hit by the flames, he would definitely die. He immediately spread the gravel in his hand and threw it at the man’s eyes.
“Ah ah…”
The scar-faced man’s eyes were severely injured, which caused him to lose control of the flames. He took the opportunity to dodge and hit the man’s heart with the black tiger heart drill technique.
Qi Shu watched as the scar-faced man flew backward and vomited blood. Without giving the man a chance to catch his breath, he quickly punched out with his right hand. Three consecutive punches landed on a weak spot on the man’s neck. His throat was shattered. He would definitely die!
If you do not attack me, I will not attack you, but if you want to kill me, I will definitely kill you.
“…Uh…”
Right then, the scar-faced man’s eyes were wide open. He tried his best to breathe, but blood gushed out of his mouth. Soon, he stopped breathing and died with remaining grievances.
Qi Shu looked at the scar-faced man as he lay on the ground. This was the first time that he had killed someone. However, he did not feel any guilt or regret. This person deserved to be killed according to his personal principals!
He walked to the black cat, which had just woken up from its coma. It pounced on him and opened its mouth to bite through his neck.
Qi Shu reached out and grabbed the black cat’s neck. He exerted some force and the black cat died at once A green source of life appeared before his eyes.
Qi Shu grabbed it and absorbed all the source of life into his body.
After absorbing the source of life, the spot that had been burned by the flames quickly returned to normal. If not for the fact that his clothes were still charred black, it would have looked like he had never been injured.
风险与收益并存,估计再来一颗同样大小的生命之源,就可以进阶武者4阶了.
Risk and benefits coexisted. He estimated that he could advance to Martial Artist Level 4 if he managed to absorb another source of life of the same size.
