Chapter 160: [143] Xie Zuxin’s Doom! Devour! (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_2
This guy…

He’s not really going to acknowledge Wei Xia’s debt, is he?

Qiu Hezi looked toward his teammates and gestured, and everyone quietly surrounded and walked over.

But before they got close,

suddenly Gu Shaoshang tossed out two iron lumps.

The faces of Qiu Hezi and the others changed abruptly as they hurried to dodge.

“Bang!” “Bang!”

Two flashes of firelight sparkled.

Countless fragments shot out in all directions, and the massive amount of dirt and rocks kicked up a cloud of dust.

The two team members who bore the brunt were sent flying.

“Tiger, are you alright?”

“Alright? Damn, good thing I have the Mech Body!”

Qiu Hezi seized the moment, lifting his gun to shoot.

No sooner had Gu Shaoshang poked his head out than he was shot back again.

“Damn your grandpa!”

Gu Shaoshang cursed angrily from behind the boulder.

Qiu Hezi signaled to a teammate nearby.

The teammate nodded in understanding, pulled their hands apart to form a large white net, and, under the cover of Qiu Hezi and the others, threw it over Gu Shaoshang.

Gu Shaoshang grumbled and dodged the net.

Seizing the opportunity,

he suddenly rushed out,

grabbed a teammate, and with two punches, sent them flying.

“Bang!”

Qiu Hezi’s rifle stock was grabbed.

“Damn, you’re the one who fired just now, right!” Gu Shaoshang roared like thunder, “Die for me!”

He slapped his palm down.

Qiu Hezi could not withstand such a powerful suppression of force and tried to fight back with his gun.

The gun was snapped in half by Gu Shaoshang’s palm.

Qiu Hezi was shocked.

But the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and moved in close.

Gu Shaoshang’s slap did not manage to hit Qiu Hezi’s head; instead, he was sent flying,

crashing hard against the tree trunk behind him.

“Crack,” went the sound.

The more than five-meter-tall tree was broken in half instantly.

“Damn, who!” Gu Shaoshang roared furiously, his bull-like eyes glaring over.

However, Pei Jinye raised the gun in his hand and responded with bullets.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

A dozen bullets swept through the air in a flurry.

Gu Shaoshang, dodging bullets like he was dancing, tumbled and scrambled out of the way.

“He has practiced Body Refining Technique; ordinary bullets cannot hurt him,” Qiu Hezi, having a narrow escape from death, quickly changed the magazine.

“If bullets are of no use, then why are we still shooting?” Pei Jinye retorted with a questioning gaze.

Qiu Hezi paused.

Pei Jinye spoke for himself, “I hit him with three shots just now; although they didn’t injure him, they did suppress his Vitality a bit. Getting hit by bullets isn’t a pleasant experience.”

Qiu Hezi shook his head. “You’ve said both the good and the bad, what else can I say? With high-caliber bullets, the Blood Shock can’t be suppressed.”

The gunfire covered the area once more.

Behind the rocks, Gu Shaoshang cursed loudly in frustration.

Pei Jinye did not rush forward immediately, but watched for changes.

He was thinking more about…

With so many people here, it would not be easy if he wanted to Devour.

He concealed his gaze.

Without uttering a word, outsiders could not detect any problems with Pei Jinye.

“All of you bastards will die!”

Two more iron lumps were thrown over.

The crowd hurriedly dodged.

But, unexpectedly, the iron lumps didn’t explode.

Not long after,

another two iron lumps were thrown over.

Half of the crowd that charged over dodged aside, while the other half did not.

It was a narrow encounter.

Two streaks of flame burst into the sky.

“Damn!” Even Qiu Hezi, with his good temper, cursed under his breath.

They chased him all the way to the side of the stream.

Pei Jinye even spotted the place they had stopped just a few hours earlier, where the corpses on the ground had long been burned to ashes, leaving nothing but indistinct black ash under the wind and waves.

“Damn it, he actually got away!”

Qiu Hezi, not caring for the injured, hastily contacted the communicator, “This is Qiu Hezi, the target has lost his trail. He is suspected of escaping through the river at Broken Cloud Mountain, request an immediate seal on the downstream.”

After reporting.

Qiu Hezi hurried back to the side of the wounded they had left behind.

“This Gu Shaoshang is really cunning!” A young team member by Pei Jinye’s side couldn’t help but curse softly.

Once back at the base.

Pei Jinye’s expression was one of regret.

Brother Kui, who learned of the matter, was still comforting him, “No matter, if he got away, then he got away. Just find him next time, it’s just one mission; if it’s not completed, so be it.”

Pei Jinye managed a forced smile.

He then had a chat with Brother Kui about Brother Bi.

Brother Kui still shook his head with a grave expression, “Currently, there’s no sign of Old Niu making a recovery. The experts suggest… Old Niu might have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.”

After a pause.

Brother Kui sighed, “Jinye, honestly, you’ve done enough for Old Niu. You don’t need to overextend yourself. Since Xie Zuxin is unwilling to take care of it, our Team Seven will handle it. Every month the brothers will chip in; we’ll make sure he won’t have any issues for the rest of his life, even if he has to lie in bed. You don’t need to go broke over this.”

More than ten thousand a day, plus the expense of hiring experts, these are not small amounts.

Pei Jinye fell silent.

If only he had gone on the mission with Brother Bi that day, maybe none of this would have happened.

Of course, he didn’t blame himself.

It was just a regret…

Leaving the base.

Pei Jinye went to see Brother Bi at the hospital in the base.

He sat in front of the hospital bed.

There was no one else by his side.

Staring at Brother Bi.

Pei Jinye sighed, “Look at you, always telling me to run when there’s trouble, so how did you get yourself caught up in this mess? Now that guy’s sitting in his office, sipping tea and reading the newspaper, and you have been lying here for so long without him even knowing to visit you. For someone like that, wouldn’t it be a waste not to kill him and just let him off?”

He wiped Brother Bi’s forehead with a towel.

At that moment, the secret phone inside Pei Jinye’s clothing vibrated.

He turned away.

Pulled out the phone to check.

[I found it! It’s Flesh Rebirth, and while it’s Vitality, this guy has been frail and sickly since childhood. That might also be due to Flesh Rebirth. His weakness is his physique; as long as his heart and brain are destroyed, he’s dead without a doubt… I’ve also found out that he rose to power with the backing of the Jiang family. He’s very cautious by nature…]

[Here’s his schedule and locations…]

[Here’s where his lover lives…]

[Haven’t found the secret funds yet…]

After a while.

Silver Art sent a cautious message.

[Do you need my help?]

“No need,” Pei Jinye replied.

After a pause.

He added, “Thank you.”

Silver Art replied instantly: [Haha, no thanks needed, hahaha]

Pei Jinye silently put away his phone.

“Flesh Rebirth?”

“Sounds like quite the potent Transcendent.”

Night fell.

Xie Zuxin drove the hovercar away from the base, turned on the communication device, and calmly replied, “I have a meeting at the city hall tonight, might not be back. Don’t wait up for me.”

His wife complained over the phone about the city hall having late-night overtime meetings.

After Xie Zuxin exchanged a few words, he hung up the phone and dialed another number.

“I’ll come to you tonight, sweetheart—Boom!”

The hovercar in mid-air was sliced into two as if cut by an invisible force, with flames erupting and illuminating half of the sky.

A shower of fiery meteor-like embers rained down from above.

The night was very bloody!
