“Sir, your food delivery.”
“I… didn’t order it… Oh, thanks.”
Two minutes later. “Sir, wrong delivery. Please return it back to me.”
“I’ve already ea...
Xia Tianqiong was stopped on the street by six men.
The man in the lead, dressed in a security guard uniform, looked Xia Tianqiong up and down. "Which park are you from?"
Xia Tianqiong stood there, her expression calm. "Not in any park."
The security guard and the others exchanged glances, their faces lighting up with delight. "You're from out of town, right? Are you a ghost hunter?"
"yes."
"Come with us, join our team, and we guarantee you food and drink. If you're strong enough, you might even get a woman."
In this post-apocalyptic world, the bizarre and supernatural are rampant, and many ghost hunters choose to band together for survival. Ordinary people, on the other hand, are kept in captivity and forced to burn paper money for the dead every day.
Xia Tianqiong didn't answer the other person, but instead asked, "I'm looking for two women, one of whom is named Jiang Yu. Do you know her?"
The security guard looked at Xia Tianqiong with a scrutinizing gaze, and his tone became harsh.
"Stop talking nonsense. Now I'll ask you if you're willing to join us. We have over a hundred ghost hunters in our park. No one in the entire outer city of Lin'an dares to mess with us."
The other five glared coldly at Xia Tianqiong, as if they would attack him the next moment if he didn't agree.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly gave a strange laugh, "Answer my questions properly and I'll let you leave, otherwise you'll leave your lives behind."
He spoke calmly, with a smile on his face.
The six people opposite were all stunned. This was a bully meeting a robber, a test of who was more ruthless.
The security guard snorted, "This brother has quite the nerve. I wonder what your highest level of contracted ghost is? Tell us and see if it can scare us brothers."
As he spoke, waves of ghostly power emanated from his body, as did those behind him.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The family of three, who had been captured by the group, stood at the back, their eyes filled with anticipation.
If a fight breaks out, they can take the opportunity to escape.
Xia Tianqiong remained calm throughout. He could sense that these people all possessed evil spirits and were considered quite powerful among folk ghost hunters.
But in front of him, they are nothing.
Suddenly, a silver light appeared in his eyes, which quickly intensified, and then two dazzling beams of light shot out, accompanied by a soft cracking sound.
One of them was struck by the silver light, and in the next instant, he turned into a human-shaped charcoal.
A gentle breeze blew it, and it shattered into a pile of charcoal ash.
Even the evil spirits within the human body dissipated, leaving it utterly powerless to resist.
Everyone present was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.
The security guard trembled violently, feeling as if the shadow of death had already descended upon him.
The person who was killed was the strongest in their team, whose evil spirit had reached the level bottleneck and would level up soon.
The result was that he couldn't even block a single move from his opponent, which was truly terrifying.
Xia Tianqiong herself was also stunned, not expecting the power to be so great.
In the world of chess, by referring to the "Five Thunder Orthodox Method," he comprehended the myriad thunderbolts that occurred during the world's evolution, which greatly enhanced his lightning techniques.
He also absorbed a lot of lightning, storing it in his body, using it to temper his body in normal times, and releasing it directly to attack others when needed.
In the past, it would take at least two or three blows to kill a person, and it wouldn't turn the person into a charred corpse, let alone kill the evil spirit directly.
Its power has now increased significantly, several times that of before.
At this moment, there were still five people left on the other side. One of them suddenly raised his hand and shot out a trick.
The security guard was alarmed and quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't make a move!"
But he was too late. The trick was a red arrow, so close and fast that it struck Xia Tianqiong's forehead before he could finish speaking.
With a soft clang, the arrow snapped in two.
Xia Tianqiong's forehead was only slightly broken, and before it could bleed, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not even a scar was left.
Everyone present stared in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock.
The security guard was terrified; this was a vicious and wicked trick, yet it couldn't harm the man!
Is he still human?
Xia Tianqiong smiled nonchalantly. He could have dodged it, but he wanted to test his physical strength, so he didn't.
His physical attributes as a super villager were already very strong. When he was evolving the small world, he tempered his body with countless bolts of lightning. Now, even ordinary magical artifacts cannot break through his skin. Even if they can break through, they will quickly heal themselves.
He looked at the group of people opposite him with amusement. "Now can you answer the questions properly? If not, I'll kill two more."
"Yes, yes, please ask. We'll tell you what we know."
The security guard nodded hurriedly, his back already soaked with cold sweat, as were the other four.
They realized they had really messed up this time, and they might all die here.
"Do you know Jiang Yu? She's been kidnapped, have you heard about it?"
"She formed a female ghost hunter team in Lin'an City a long time ago and was quite well-known. We all know her. We also heard that she was ambushed by Wang Laoqi a few days ago. Although she killed Wang Laoqi, she was defeated by someone else a few days later and has been missing ever since."
Some say she was murdered, others say she was taken as a plaything; we don't know the specifics. We're just security guards at Tianhua Park; we have absolutely no connection to her.
The security guard stood in front of Xia Tianqiong, bowing slightly with a humble expression.
Xia Tianqiong then asked, "Has someone integrated all the ghost hunters in your outer city?"
The security guard was slightly taken aback, then quickly nodded. "That's right. Originally, our Ghost Hunter team worked independently, either hunting monsters or collecting survival supplies every day."
