#111 - Chapter 111 Lambs to be slaughtered
“Purge them?” Xu Jiang mechanically repeated, watching Li Chenqiu walk out of the freezer door.
After Li Chenqiu left, everyone reacted from their shock.
“Um… what did that person say he was going to do?”
“Seems like he said he was going to… purge them?”
“Purge them?!” Everyone said in unison, their wide eyes filled with suppressed astonishment.
……
……
The freezer was located on the third basement level of the building. There were no elevators, only stairs. The originally orderly staff were in complete chaos after receiving that phone call.
They scurried around like directionless birds, shouting and yelling, so much so that Li Chenqiu, showing his true face, walked past them without causing any commotion.
Li Chenqiu put his hands in his pockets, his deep eyes becoming even darker, as if he was thinking about something.
With his current strength, he definitely couldn't face the Vulture Leader head-on. That would be no different from courting death.
“Xuan You, can devouring other people's souls help you break the seal?” Li Chenqiu asked in a deep voice.
“Master, the improvement of my strength is closely related to you. Devouring other souls has little effect,” Li Xuan You's voice sounded in Li Chenqiu's mind.
Li Chenqiu smiled and nodded thoughtfully.
The Hunter Association at this time could be said to be riddled with holes. More than a dozen Black Feather Vultures crashed through the glass and rushed into the building, indiscriminately slaughtering.
Their sharp wings were like steel knives. No matter how thick the walls were, they would be cut like tofu.
For a time, screams and chewing sounds were endless…
The first floor of the Hunter Association was the most densely populated area and the most chaotic place in the entire building.
Six Black Feather Vultures guarded the gate, occasionally swooping down and taking the lives of dozens of people with their sharp claws, before returning to their original positions.
A hint of human-like playfulness flashed in their round eyes.
Due to the power outage in the elevator and other Black Feather Vultures in the stairwell, the people in the hall could be said to have no way to advance or retreat, and could only be slaughtered.
“Th-th-this… what do we do!”
“It’s over, the Hunters have all been killed. What chance do the rest of us have to survive…”
“Might as well rush out together, and hope some of us can live.”
Someone suggested with a desperate expression, which was agreed upon by many.
After all, there seemed to be no better way…
Whoosh!
Just then, a black shadow swept over everyone's heads and landed firmly in front of them.
This person was none other than Li Chenqiu.
He turned to the side, pointing to a certain stairwell entrance, and said, “The revived beasts over there have been purged by me. It’s no problem to go up and down the stairs.”
Everyone was stunned at first, then someone reacted and asked in surprise, “Li… Li Chenqiu?”
“Yeah.” Li Chenqiu nodded calmly.
Whoosh—
A Black Feather Vulture in the direction of the gate flapped its wings and swooped down towards Li Chenqiu like a bolt of black lightning.
“Behind you, be careful!” Someone shouted loudly, straining their voice.
Li Chenqiu turned his head and saw a bloody maw.
Upon seeing this scene, everyone couldn't bear to close their eyes, as if they had already foreseen Li Chenqiu's end.
At the critical moment, Li Chenqiu raised his hand and made a grasping motion. A wisp of black mist shot out from his palm and instantly rose, standing in front of him.
The Black Feather Vulture crashed straight into it.
Shred!
Blood splattered everywhere.
The Black Feather Vulture's body was split in two, passing by Li Chenqiu's sides and slamming heavily in front of everyone.
“Ahhh!”
Everyone was frightened and retreated, letting out ear-piercing screams.
Of course, they were only frightened for a moment, and soon calmed down, looking at Li Chenqiu in disbelief.
What's going on?
He just killed it?
After killing one of the Black Feather Vultures, Li Chenqiu gripped Ember and charged towards the remaining five vultures. The black mist on Ember was like a fluttering black ribbon, reflecting Li Chenqiu's path of advance.
Even so, the five vultures still couldn't react.
The sharp scythe hooked onto the vulture's neck and pulled hard.
Pfft—
Fresh blood spurted out from the neck like a fountain, and the heads with their hideous features rolled on the ground like bowling balls. The swift speed was like harvesting wheat, seemingly effortless.
Li Chenqiu rushed out the door and shouted in a cold voice, “Li Xuan You!”
Roar!!!
A muffled and suppressed beast roar rang out from Ember, spreading for miles.
For a time, all the nearby survivors and Black Feather Vultures looked in the direction of Li Chenqiu.
Under the gaze of the crowd in the hall, a wisp of black smoke shot out from the scythe, transforming into a giant beast hundreds of meters tall in an instant, with Li Chenqiu standing on top of its head.
Boom—
Li Xuan You flapped its wings and flew high, taking Li Chenqiu straight into the sky, instantly surpassing the height of all the Black Feather Vultures, overlooking everything in City 11 like a king.
“It’s not optimistic!” Li Chenqiu muttered to himself.
Yan Luowang's timing was too tricky. It was exactly when all the academy recruitment teachers had left to recruit students in the neighboring cities, plus most of the effective combat power of the garrison corps and the Special Abilities Division had been transferred to the foot of North Huang Mountain.
At this moment, City 11 was like a lamb to be slaughtered, unable to resist.
The moment Li Chenqiu appeared, dozens of nearby Black Feather Vultures let out sharp cries and charged towards Li Chenqiu, unafraid of death.
Li Xuan You's eyes narrowed slightly, and spread its wings. Just as these dozens of Black Feather Vultures were about to approach, it “whooshed” and closed its wings.
A fierce gale poured down, and before the Black Feather Vultures could get close to Li Chenqiu, they were shot towards the ground like bullets.
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of Black Feather Vultures, accompanied by bursts of loud noises, were uniformly embedded in the wide road, dying miserably.
Ember in Li Chenqiu's hand trembled slightly, and balls of black smoke floated out from those corpses, condensing into Black Feather Vultures that were pitch-black all over and had red eyes.
“Let’s go find the Fifth Restriction Black Feather Vultures.” Li Chenqiu looked into the distance with distant eyes.
Upon hearing this, Li Xuan You tore through the rain and shot out, and those Soul Soldiers scattered and flew towards other Black Feather Vultures in the distance, and then fought together.
The life killed by the Soul Soldiers was also considered killed by Ember, and could be transformed into Soul Soldiers. This was what Li Chenqiu had just learned from Li Xuan You.
His plan was very simple, which was to kill two Fifth Restriction Black Feather Vultures, and then use the characteristics of the Soul Soldiers to let one of them devour the other, thereby breaking through to the Sixth Restriction.
In this way, he, plus Li Xuan You and this Soul Soldier, could be considered to have the capital to compete with the Black Feather Vulture Leader, and it just so happened to be a battle without an advantage, with a slight disadvantage.
After all, only a difficult victory can show one's hardship and be more touching.
If he let the Soul Soldier who broke through the Sixth Restriction continue to devour, and finally play a crushing game, how would he earn a lot of merit points?
