Chapter 1772 - 1775: He Actually Dared
Night falls.
Qin Hai, who was originally meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
Immediately, he swiftly rolled out of bed and approached a chest not far away.
When the chest was moved aside, there revealed a narrow tunnel.
He crawled into it, closed the chest again, and traversed the tunnel.
Soon, he emerged from another hole.
It was a small courtyard near the city wall, which he had discreetly purchased in preparation for today.
Upon emerging, he suddenly saw a shadow, making his hair stand on end.
Upon a closer look, he was relieved and quickly bowed in salute, "Young Master Bu!"
"Hmm." Lu Xiaobu glanced at him and nodded, "Let’s go."
"Thank you, Young Master Bu!"
Qin Hai felt deeply moved.
He didn’t expect Lu Xiaobu to actually come.
Come taking a risk for a little person like him.
The next moment, Lu Xiaobu pulled Qin Hai into the ground.
Very soon, they arrived beneath the city wall.
Qin Hai looked ahead and took a deep breath, unsure of how Lu Xiaobu planned to get through.
Usually, ordinary cities don’t have array protections, but this was different, this was God Slaying City, the apparent headquarters of the God Slaying Alliance, and arrays had long been set up.
Though the defense function wasn’t usually activated, there was still a monitoring function.
Once they passed through here, it would undoubtedly trigger an alarm.
So, he was somewhat apprehensive.
However, the next moment.
He saw Lu Xiaobu completely ignored the so-called array ahead and directly charged forward!
In an instant, alarms resounded through God Slaying City!
Qin Hai was stunned, unable to believe his eyes as he looked at Lu Xiaobu.
Just charged out like that?!
Can’t be!
"What is it? Scared?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled.
"No, I mean, Young Master Bu, like this, they’ll notice." Qin Hai’s mouth felt dry.
He fancied himself a smart person and knew Lu Xiaobu’s unparalleled intelligence, so he never expected such a straightforward and brutal approach.
"Let them notice then. See if they can catch us." Lu Xiaobu chuckled again.
The next moment, Qin Hai saw Lu Xiaobu now clad in a rugged set of armor.
The moment after, his mind felt as though it was no longer his own, a blank space!
Not because he saw something shocking, though it was quite shocking, but because the speed was incredibly fast, he felt his thoughts couldn’t keep up!
It took him a moment to react.
And by then, he suddenly realized they had already exited God Slaying City and were rapidly distancing from it.
At this point, what filled his ears was the alarm sound of the city array.
Having studied the city array alarm sound, he knew this was still its first note!
And the next moment, that note vanished abruptly!
His face turned pale with fear instantly!
He wasn’t foolish; from that sound, he understood one thing: their speed now exceeded the speed of sound, perhaps several times over!
Only at such a speed could the originally growing sound stop abruptly!
Terrifying!
Qin Hai looked at Lu Xiaobu, encased in metal armor, and couldn’t help but feel a wave of shock.
It was the first time he truly sensed the near-legendary terror of this man!
"Alright, you head back to the Blood Continent first, wait for my call." Lu Xiaobu paused, opened a passage, and tossed the still-stunned Qin Hai inside, then continued quickly leaving.
...
God Slaying City.
Xu Bang, who was in charge of vigilance and hadn’t deeply cultivated, was the first awake at the alarm: "What’s going on?!"
"Someone left the inner city from below the city wall!" someone immediately reported.
"Oh!" Xu Bang sighed in relief.
It’s not an attack!
But then, his expression suddenly turned tense, "Send people to the Four Seas Bank!"
"Yes!"
The person hurriedly left.
Xu Bang stood up, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
Hopefully, it’s just his imagination!
It shouldn’t be!
The Four Seas Bank has been around for so long, always stable.
Besides, just a few Golden Core Stage individuals, what waves could they stir?
After all, their investors included people from the Out-of-Body Stage and even the Divine Separation Stage!
Surely, they wouldn’t dare!
Yes, yes, it must be his imagination!
But at this time, the person who just left returned to his door, his voice trembling: "Chief Xu, it’s... it’s... it’s..."
"What is it?! Speak!" Xu Bang’s voice suddenly sharpened, his heart inexplicably chilled halfway!
"The Four Seas Bank is empty!" the subordinate’s voice broke into sobs: "Spirit Stones are gone, everything’s gone!"
He had investments in the Four Seas Bank too, a whole three thousand Spirit Stones, all his wealth amassed through deceit and plunder!
Now, it’s all gone!
"What?! Impossible!"
Xu Bang turned pale!
Then, like a mad dog, he rushed toward the Four Seas Bank.
At this moment, he ignored the no-fly edict entirely!
Spirit Stones, his Spirit Stones, his entire wealth!
Impossible, it can’t be real, it can’t be real!
Just a mere Golden Core Stage, how dare they come to their God Slaying Alliance’s headquarters and cheat Spirit Stones from Out-of-Body and even Divine Separation Stage experts!
How dare he?
Impossible!
However!
Just as he arrives at the Four Seas Bank, he is overwhelmed by wails!
"My Spirit Stones!"
"Qin Hai, you liar! Come out! Get out!"
"Qin Hai, I will kill you! Kill you! Come out! Come out now!"
"My Spirit Stones, all my wealth!"
"..."
These were the people who had invested Spirit Stones into the Four Seas Bank. Previously, they were ecstatic about their investments, even proudly spreading the word about the bank!
They once felt so proud; now, they are just as desperate!
Xu Bang felt his mind go blank with a buzz.
With one hand, he smashed half the building of the Four Seas Bank into dust, then stared at the emptiness inside, falling silent!
And then!
"Ah!"
Xu Bang’s anguished scream echoed through the entire inner city, even drowning out the alarm’s sound, "My Spirit Stones, Qin Hai!"
He was a miserly person.
But as miserly as he was, just as heartbroken he felt now!
Spirit Stones, all the Spirit Stones are gone!
Truly gone!
That Qin Hai, actually dared, actually dared to deceive him!
Not only him but also cheated many from the Out-of-Body Stage, and even four Divine Separation Stage seniors!
This wasn’t just deceiving them; it was a fierce slap to the God Slaying Alliance!
You, God Slaying Alliance, aren’t you formidable!
Weren’t you supposed to unify everything!
And yet?
Right in your own headquarters, amidst countless experts, you were swindled by a Golden Core Stage!
He could already foresee the turmoil this would cause tomorrow!
Qin Hai! I will kill you! Tear you apart!
Aaaaaah!
