Chapter 839: Chapter 709: Reunion

Qu Jianlei snorted coldly upon hearing this. They were nothing but a bunch of trash from the Divine Text Association!

Still, he didn’t expose their identity—not out of fear, but concern that they would silence him.

They couldn’t silence him, but all the natives present were at great risk, potentially reaching across the entire Pre-Capital and the whole Celestial District!

The Imperial dared to ruthlessly purge Central City; they were unimaginably cruel to the Garbage Star.

Qu Jianlei didn’t respond at all. His body flashed twice instantly, arriving by their side.

Qi Ming was dumbfounded; he knew their power was strong. Qi Qiang, slightly inferior to him, got his head flown off instantly.

Yet, he could hardly react before the opponent was close. Damn... Is this something the Electromagnetic Body Technique can achieve?

One should know he was a battle-hardened warrior, stronger than most A-levels.

Even when facing a sure-defeat scenario, he could at least make some corresponding combat responses.

How effective those responses would be, or whether they would work at all, was uncertain, but he could at least react.

Now, he couldn’t make any response at all. This was not due to the Electromagnetic Body Technique but sheer overwhelming power.

In the blink of an eye, the blade reached his body, and he felt a tremendous force surge through him, involuntarily crashing into the ground.

Qu Jianlei struck with a blade, also momentarily stunned. How did it not pierce the defense? Wasn’t the opponent merely A-level?

But then, he suddenly understood: it turned out to be two layers of armor. Oh, then there’s no problem.

The Long Blade was already the best he could craft, far surpassing the strongest Overclocked Vibration Blade he had acquired.

To create such equipment single-handedly was truly remarkable, given he lacked strong industrial support.

With his Golden Core cultivation level, breaking through a Gold Attribute A-level’s defense was guaranteed, but if the opponent wore two layers of armor, then... another blade strike!

He charged straight toward the ground, delivering another strike.

Qi Ming received this blade strike. Although it seemed not to pierce the defense, the spiritual energy output from the blade wasn’t something two layers of Golden Armor could withstand.

In other words, the first blade didn’t cause sharp force injury, yet it resulted in blunt impact damage.

Seeing the second blade swiftly cutting down, he felt pain piercing through every part of his body, heavy as a mountain.

He couldn’t make any response, only shouting, ”This is Supreme!”

The next moment, he felt darkness enveloping his sight, forever losing consciousness.

Within a blink of an eye, two A-levels fell successively. Witnessing this, the others fled in all directions for their lives.

At such a moment, there was no longer talk of any military elite, nor pride in the Divine Text Association; these concepts collapsed instantly.

Even forming an effective organization became a luxury; they were essentially scattered like sand.

Seeing those panic-stricken faces, it was hard to believe how indifferent and arrogant their attitude had been ten minutes ago.

Without a backbone, the terror was palpable. Just moments ago, amid sequential setbacks, they could still resist fearlessly.

However, Qu Jianlei wouldn’t show mercy due to their fear—hadn’t they been the ones who manufactured terror? Retribution had come!

In his perception, the top priority of his chase was naturally those B-level Awakened.

Nonetheless, the B-level Awakened were more alert. Upon hearing that Qi Ming and Qi Qiang, the two A-levels, were killed instantly, they promptly decided to retreat.

Some B-level warriors retreated with their teams, and Qu Jianlei chose such a team first.

He even ignored the scattered Awakened fleeing nearby, as killing clusters of enemies yielded too low efficiency.

After consecutively clearing out two squads, the Awakened realized his intentions and scattered once more.

Some Awakened fled with their comrades. Coordinating skillfully with partners, their combat power was undoubtedly more than doubled.

But under these circumstances, even if one plus one surpassed ten, they still had no choice but to separate decisively.

The opponent was so merciless. If they could escape alone, that would count as one escaped.

They didn’t know that when Flower Scorpion and Xiao Moshan were facing doom just now, they also planned such an escape.

Karma proved true, and retribution was indeed imminent.

”Huh,” Qu Jianlei snorted coldly, flashed his body, and caught up with a Dark Attribute C-level warrior, raising his hand for a lethal strike.

With the opponents fleeing separately, he could only choose to pursue them selectively.

The priority order was roughly as follows: B-level > Mutated Attribute C-level > Nearby ones > Ordinary C-level > Modified Warrior > City Guard...

Indeed, the City Guard was within his hunting range, yet he mainly targeted the Taikoo City Guard with gold lines on their collars.

Earlier, when the battle was about to start, he had perceived that the main force of this grand capture operation was these folks.

The chase lasted over half an hour. While spiritual energy consumption was minimal, his physical strength was slightly fatigued.

Hence, he had to allocate some spiritual energy for physical recovery.

Anyway, when dealing with such minor fish, purely using physical strength was far more efficient than using spiritual energy.

Otherwise, he wasn’t mentally twisted enough to throw a Mecha so high up?

While recovering strength, he continued pursuing the fleeing Awakened and City Guard.

However, apart from a few who escaped into the urban area, most were fleeing wildly in the wilderness, with many driving various vehicles.

Under these circumstances, his pursuit efficiency kept declining.

Finally, on his way back, he discovered an Earth Attribute C-level hidden underground, who desperately shouted.

”Sir, it was the Imperial’s doing. I’m just sent from Central City; it has nothing to do with me.”

Qu Jianlei was taken aback when he heard this, his feelings toward Central City were also somewhat complex.

He had once hunted down Frost Wolf there and wiped out families like Douglas’s, but he also made some friends.

For example, Jamaari, Black Panther, Xiao Qin, Ma Long, and others.

So if the opponent was truly an Awakened from Central City without any entanglements, he didn’t mind sparing them.

However, the next moment, a sudden whirlwind blew, lifting the soil on the ground and revealing the Earth Attribute C-level underneath.

Qu Jianlei looked in a certain direction with surprise, and after a moment of shock, he showed a smile.

”Indeed, troublemakers live a long life... How come you’re not dead yet?”

He sensed that it was Xiao Moshan who made a move. Although the opponent hid well, once they acted, it was easy to sense the aura.

”It really is you,” Xiao Moshan’s figure drifted over, ”I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Then he looked at the Earth Attribute C-level, speaking coldly.

”People coming from Central City aren’t forced. Those who don’t want to come can ask for leave.”

”Then let’s kill them,” Qu Jianlei’s body flashed mysteriously, gray light swept by, and he beheaded the person.

Then he glanced at Xiao Moshan, ”Continue?”

”Flower Scorpion is still guarding a Concealed Wood Attribute C-level,” Xiao Moshan replied gravely, ”Let’s eliminate that one first.”

Qu Jianlei didn’t sense the concealed Awakened, not because his perception wasn’t enough, but purely because he didn’t want to expend too much spiritual power.

After all, there were plenty of people to kill, no need to overly deplete himself.

Like now, discovering the Earth Attribute C-level on the return trip seemed evident; a slight increase in perception left the opponent with no escape.

The two accelerated underfoot, rushing like the wind towards another direction.

Back then, both their speeds were quite astonishing, but now, Xiao Moshan’s speed was notably slower.

On the way, Qu Jianlei even had the leisure to ask, ”Isn’t Laoben on guard?”

”Laoben... was captured by them,” Xiao Moshan paused slightly, yet his tone remained calm.

They were truly people who already looked beyond life and death. A comrade being captured, does anger help?

Rather than succumbing to anger, it’s better to think of a way to avenge the comrades. ”Their fate is unknown now.”

”Them?” Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, ”Who else is there?”

Youyou left with him already.

”Claire,” Xiao Moshan replied casually, ”from the Zhou Six Residence Area.”

Claire? Hearing this, Qu Jianlei was taken aback again. ”Where’s Judy from then?”

”Judy... you mean her mother?” Xiao Moshan answered with a blank expression, ”Dead.”

It was still the same old Wasteland, life and death too common.

Qu Jianlei didn’t ask further, knowing that Flower Scorpion had a good relationship with Claire, accepting her into the team was natural.

There must be some complications or story within, but there’s no need to mention it now.

Qu Jianlei was more concerned about something else, ”I almost thought you were really ill, is Flower Scorpion all right?”

”She’s fine, just occasionally a bit irritable,” Xiao Moshan replied casually.

The two traveled quickly, soon arriving at a sparse forest.

Qu Jianlei didn’t say a word, dashed over and with a single slash from his blade, a rain of blood exploded amidst the shrubs.

After sheathing his blade, a human figure appeared over five hundred meters away, it was a waxy-faced middle-aged woman.

She looked at Qu Jianlei in shock, her lips quivered twice before tremblingly asked, ”Is it really you?”

Qu Jianlei nodded, ”I heard there’s some trouble here, long time no see, you’ve reached B-level.”

Her ability to cultivate started with his strong support, it was his first time helping ordinary people with awakening, the cultivation technique was given by him too.

Therefore, in his mind, this woman was not just a comrade, but... both a student and a friend.

Flower Scorpion took two steps forward, then stopped, carefully asking, ”What’s your cultivation level now?”

”Supreme,” Qu Jianlei replied casually, ”I came this time planning to vent properly.”

Flower Scorpion paused, then nodded fiercely, ”Bentley and Claire were captured by them, it’s time for revenge!”

Qu Jianlei nodded, a reunion with old friends always brings joy, he wasn’t in the mood to pursue others.

”Let’s wait on that matter, I’ll clean up the battlefield first.”

Those B-level and C-levels aside, the A-level Warrior might have a Storage Talisman, can’t let others take advantage of that.

The reason he didn’t clean up earlier was because he really couldn’t manage, slight delay makes chasing difficult.

Cleaning up during battle not only affects momentum, it also causes missed opportunities.

As for now, someone might have already taken advantage? Just find that person to deal with it.

Xiao Moshan coughed lightly, ”Um... I already cleaned up the battlefield for you, got a Storage Talisman.”

Qu Jianlei was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, can it be like this?
