Chapter 739 [(*^▽^*)]
"So simple?" The speed and simplicity of it all made Lin Leyou himself find it hard to believe.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although the Spirit-Trapping Bowl is powerful, it can only be used once a day, and only one spirit can be trapped at a time. That's a limitation.
After successfully trapping the Spirit Fox Village Chief, the Spirit-Trapping Bowl did not fly back into Lin Leyou's hand. Instead, it fell vertically down and hit Xue Qian's head again before rolling to the ground.
Xue Qian shouted, "Zhou Nanyue, stall for time and stop them!"
Zhou Nanyue charged at them, wielding a golden moon spear. However, Xue Rui, holding a blood shadow spear, struck him in the knee from a distance and then threw out a combat puppet.
Just as Xue Qian's hand was about to touch the Spirit-Trapping Bowl that had fallen to the ground, a flash of cold light appeared, and Xue Qian subconsciously pulled his hand back. Before his mind could react, he flipped backward and retreated.
Fortunately, he was fast; otherwise, Lin Leyou's Soul-Splitting Blade would have landed on him.
At this moment, Zhou Nanyue returned to Xue Qian's side, while Xue Rui stood near Lin Leyou with his combat puppet. "How is it?"
Lin Leyou successfully retrieved the Spirit-Trapping Bowl. After the Spirit-Trapping Bowl returned to his backpack, the system automatically retrieved the Spirit Fox Village Chief, and the reward was... this gold-tier item, the Spirit-Trapping Bowl.
"This item is the reward, and from now on it officially belongs to me."
Xue Rui: "Good news, kill them?"
Lin Leyou casually waved his hand, and a combat puppet appeared beside him. "Leave Xue Qian to me?"
Xue Rui: "I'll do it."
Lin Leyou's gaze fell on Zhou Nanyue. "Then leave this person to me."
He then added, "It's a real pity that Uncle Feng isn't here. Otherwise, he would definitely be happy to clean up his own mess."
Zhou Nanyue initially thought he looked familiar, but when he mentioned Uncle Feng, she suddenly realized, "It's you! That meddlesome idiot! I didn't expect you to be a player too..."
Lin Leyou gave a fake laugh, "Whether I'm meddling or not is none of your business. In short, if I kill you now, are you prepared to die?"
Zhou Nanyue, "You just mentioned that old man? Where is he?"
Lin Leyou: "It's none of your business."
He casually stuffed his gold-plated defensive gear into Xue Rui's hands, then took two or three steps toward Zhou Nanyue with the Soul-Splitting Blade in hand. The blade flashed like a cold light, and Zhou Nanyue hurriedly used her spear to defend herself.
Zhou Nanyue then sneered, "Have you forgotten that I am the king of close combat with my spear? What can your little dagger do to me?"
When he thrust his spear at Lin Leyou, he was unexpectedly kicked away. Fortunately, he was still able to grab the end of the spear with one hand, so the weapon did not actually fly out of his hand.
However, it was precisely in this moment that he revealed a huge opening. The Soul-Splitting Blade slashed down, passing through his body, but without causing a wound or drawing blood.
However, Zhou Nanyue herself threw away the spear in her hand, covered the spot where the sharp knife had just cut her, fell to the ground and struggled, screaming and howling in heart-wrenching pain.
Lin Leyou frowned slightly. Would such screams attract the attention of the people around them?
Fortunately, Xue Rui took out a silencing crystal in time and silenced all the surrounding sounds. In this way, no matter how pitiful Zhou Nanyue screamed, no one could hear her.
Taking advantage of his illness, Lin Leyou stabbed him several times, shattering his soul into pieces, and only stopped when he was sure he was completely dead.
Zhou Nanyue was dealt with here; it only took half a minute. Zhou Nanyue thought she was a divine warrior descending from the heavens, invincible, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even last half a minute against Lin Leyou.
The combat puppets standing to the side didn't even have a chance to fight.
Moreover... it's such a waste to leave him with such a good weapon!
Lin Leyou stepped on Zhou Nanyue's spear, his gaze falling on Xue Rui. He hadn't expected Xue Qian to be so formidable; he had just suffered a loss from Xue Rui's Blood Shadow Spear.
Xue Qian's kneecap was shattered earlier, and he can only limp as he fights. If it weren't for the fact that his weapon is an area-of-effect attack, he would probably be dead like Zhou Nanyue by now.
Looking at Zhou Nanyue's perfectly intact body, he immediately knew that the sharp knife in Lin Leyou's hand was definitely not an ordinary prop, but a gold-grade prop!
"Xue Rui, I didn't expect you to find such a powerful ally, but I haven't heard of this person from the Administration Bureau. You wouldn't be helping to cover it up, would you?"
Xue Rui's eyes sharpened. He knew he had to act quickly, because the authorities would definitely find this place soon. If Xue Qian was still alive by then, Lin Leyou would definitely be required to register his identity with the Administration Bureau, and his resident status might be discovered.
Without wasting any more time, under Xue Qian's watchful eye, he actually activated his innate Golden Body and charged towards Xue Qian. Halfway there, he reached out and caught the Soul-Splitting Dagger that Lin Leyou threw at him.
Xue Qian stared wide-eyed at the scene, thinking of retreating, but he overlooked the combat puppet!
Perhaps the combat puppet is no match for him in a one-on-one fight, but at this moment, giving him a small sneak attack is extremely easy.
Just like that, being hit by the combat puppet delayed him a little, and the next second, Xue Qian also experienced that soul-tearing pain.
He couldn't even control his body; his mind could only passively accept what was happening. His body twisted and screamed, rolling and struggling on the ground, "Ah... how could this be..."
"How could this be... What is this?! Why... Why do you have..."
Xue Rui didn't give him much of a chance to say anything, and repeatedly brought down the sharp knife in his hand.
This is the true power of the Gold-grade weapon, the Soul-Splitting Dagger; basically, no one can withstand it.
Lin Leyou: "He's dead."
Xue Rui casually put away his combat puppet and breathed a sigh of relief. He returned the gold-plated defensive item to Lin Leyou and then found the area-of-effect attack item on Xue Qian.
Lin Leyou's item is good, but it consumes points constantly. When he finally kills the enemy, he activates his Golden Body talent, so he has no worries about the future.
Xue Rui let out a sigh of relief. "I'll leave this Soul-Splitting Dagger with me for now. When the officials come later, I need to register this weapon for them."
Lin Leyou nodded, "No problem."
Xue Rui said, "Go upstairs first. I'll make some arrangements. I'll take you out after the officials arrive. Oh, and remember to put the robot upstairs in your backpack."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Okay."
He didn't stay downstairs or place any surveillance equipment there; he waited upstairs.
Xue Rui moved the two bodies slightly to a different location, then called the authorities. "It's me, Xue Rui."
"Xue Qian and Zhou Nanyue came to my residence and attacked me. I have killed them both. Please send someone to deal with this."
"Okay, please wait a moment, Mr. Xue. May I ask your current location?"
Xue Rui told him the location of the villa. "That's right."
Soon Xue Rui saw familiar figures outside the villa. They were also familiar to Lin Leyou. The two leading them were Song Huainan and Guo Xia. They could be considered the team leaders, right?
Xue Rui opened the door and let them in; everyone followed him to the garage.
Song Huainan: "Mr. Xue, first of all, I must apologize. It was a mistake by our management staff that led to this incident. Are you injured?"
Xue Rui: "I wasn't injured, but I acted in self-defense and killed them. That should be fine, right?"
Guo Xia looked at Xue Qian and Zhou Nanyue and asked, "How did you kill them? There wasn't a single wound."
Xue Rui said, "I used a special item. Normally, I wouldn't have to hand in any points; it could only be used within the instance. But today, due to the emergency, I made an exception."
Song Huainan: "I see. Now come with me to the Administration Bureau to register. Your new prop also needs to be registered."
Guo Xia was looking at the car, which was now just a frame, and thought, "Good heavens..."
Song Huainan glanced at it and said, "Oh, right, take this with you too."
Xue Rui said, "Take it, it's yours."
Song Huainan nodded, "Okay, come over here and take all of these with you."
Then Guo Xia exclaimed, "There are people upstairs?"
Song Huainan paused for a moment, then frowned slightly as he looked at Xue Rui. "Is someone there?"
Xue Rui glanced at them. "Have you forgotten that this isn't my home?"
The two of them were both taken aback. "Huh? Where is this...?"
They then realized that the villa was not actually their home; it was just located in the same neighborhood.
Xue Rui said, "My husband is just an ordinary person. Please don't bother him."
Song Huainan blinked, then hurriedly instructed the people around him, "Hey, wrap the body up tightly, don't let anything show. And this car frame, cover it up and take it away later too."
Guo Xia asked with a hint of gossip, "When did you find a partner?"
Xue Rui: "It's been half a year."
Song Huainan: "Good lad, you've managed to keep it a secret that you've found a girlfriend."
A shadow crossed Xue Rui's eyes. "I used to have concerns about going public, but now it's fine."
They all looked at the two corpses being carried away. Zhou Nanyue was secondary; the key was Xue Qian. This Xue Qian was truly ruthless. His first thought when he couldn't escape was to kill Xue Rui.
If he finds out that Xue Rui has a lover who is an ordinary person, he will definitely take action in secret, without a doubt.
Song Huainan patted his shoulder, "There's nothing we can do about it. Alright, go tell your wife to come with us later. If all goes well, she should be back before dark."
Xue Rui nodded, then went upstairs and found Lin Leyou in the living room. "Leyou, I'm going to the Management Bureau later and will be back before dark."
Lin Leyou nodded, "I understand, I won't use it."
Aside from the mechanical spider back in his hometown, he even put away the golden sun on his ear. Of course, the ring on his finger was still there, so it didn't seem out of place.
Xue Rui: "Okay, keep a low profile for the next few days."
Lin Leyou said, "Don't worry, I know what's important. Go ahead."
Xue Rui nodded. "I'm leaving."
