Chapter 203: Flipping the Table! Revenge Doesn’t Stay Overnight

“Slaughter another ten Sect strongholds? How many Merit Points would that be?”

Li Linfeng looked at Qin Yu in astonishment. At this moment, Qin Yu was still wreathed in Wind and Thunder. He hadn’t expected Qin Yu’s reaction to be so ruthless; not only did he lack the slightest bit of fear, but he actually intended to take things to the absolute extreme. He was shocked by such immense killing intent.

However, he quickly snapped back to reality and stepped forward to carefully examine the two assassins’ corpses.

“This dwarf…” Li Linfeng pulled a blood-soaked Token from the dwarf’s robes, then carefully examined the human skin on the body. “He is indeed an assassin from the Shadow Kill Tower.

“This fiend’s Cultivation has reached the Middle Stage Primordial Mansion Realm, and he is highly skilled in disguise.

“If my guess is correct, he should be the notorious ‘Thousand-Faced Old Demon’!

“This villain is adept at the Human Skin Evil Technique.

“He can completely peel off human skin and wear it over his own body, making it extremely difficult to detect.

“This person can appear as a man or a woman, old or young. He is ever-changing and impossible to guard against, having committed countless major crimes. On the Demon Suppression Bureau’s wanted list, he is ranked as Middle Level B, with a bounty of thirty-five thousand Merit Points!”

He turned to the female assassin, who had been chopped into two pieces. “As for this woman, her Cultivation is profound, having already reached the Late Stage Primordial Mansion Realm. She practiced the ‘Green Eyes Illusion Heart Technique’, excelling at Illusion Techniques and Charms.

“She must be Liu Rumei of the Red Dust Sect!

“This woman delights most in using Illusion Techniques to create terror, playing with people’s hearts in the palm of her hand and killing without spilling blood. On the wanted list, she is ranked as Upper Level B, with a bounty of fifty-eight thousand Merit Points!”

As Li Linfeng called out these two names and their bounties, even he could not help but gasp. The Thousand-Faced Old Demon and Liu Rumei were both top-tier assassins with infamous reputations that struck fear into countless hearts. Their hands were stained with blood debts.

To think that to assassinate Qin Yu, both of them had struck at the same time!

And in the end, they were the ones killed by Qin Yu!

Although the battle ended quickly, he had still seen the general process. He had seen the Thousand-Faced Old Demon grabbed by Qin Yu and battered to death alive, while Liu Rumei was cleaved into two with a single saber strike.

“Thousand-Faced Old Demon, thirty-five thousand points. Liu Rumei, fifty-eight thousand… That’s a total of ninety-three thousand Merit Points,” Qin Yu repeated calmly, his face showing little emotion.

“As expected, killing these Primordial Mansion Realm targets is the fastest way to earn Merit Points.”

“Inspector Qin, these two are no trifling matter,” Li Linfeng urged.

“Since they failed today, there will surely be even crazier, more ferocious retaliation to follow!

“In my opinion, you should come back with me to the Demon Suppression Bureau to take shelter for now. In a few days, the Demon Suppression Bureau Headquarters will naturally send experts to suppress everything.”

Faced with a covert assassination by these two, even he wouldn’t dare claim he could walk away unscathed. And this was likely just the beginning.

Hearing this, Qin Yu slowly shook his head. His gaze swept over the surrounding houses that had collapsed from the battle’s fallout, the innocent commoners groaning in injury, and the bloodlust and poisonous mist still lingering in the air. His eyes gradually turned icy.

“General Li, what they should be worrying about is my retaliation!” Qin Yu said, his gaze freezing cold. A gentleman might wait ten years for revenge, but for him, vengeance was pursued from dawn to dusk!

“Originally, I planned to let them live a few more days, but it seems I can take action early. Within this Yunlong County City, there are still quite a few Evil Demon remnants.

“It’s time to root them all out.”

Within Yunlong County, in places like Prefecture Cities and county towns, he could rely on his strength to directly follow the trail and catch most of the Evil Demons and Outsiders in one fell swoop. However, that would not work in Yunlong County City.

The entire Yunlong County City was enveloped by an Array. It had a population of ten million and was overseen by numerous prominent families, Demon Suppression Bureau experts, and the Evil Suppression Bureau Army. There were seven or eight Primordial Mansion Realm experts residing here alone. In such a massive place, how could there be no hidden filth? The larger the city, the more Evil Demons and Outsiders hid within it!

Although the Insect Swarm lurking inside had found some clues, they had not carried out their first wave of purging there, instead hunting in the wilderness.

“Inside the County City?” Li Linfeng’s expression instantly changed, and he spoke with some nervousness. Qin Yu’s Insect Swarm had hunted down and slaughtered over a dozen Evil Demon Sects’ Sub-Branches and lairs in the mountains and remote small towns, killing tens of thousands. Could it be that he wanted to do the same in Yunlong County City?

Yunlong County City was simply too large and populous. Although the Demon Suppression Bureau was strong, they were helpless against those hidden Evil Demon agents who practiced special concealment Cultivation Techniques and who might have already rooted themselves among the common populace. If massive casualties were caused, he would definitely be held accountable.

“That’s right,” Qin Yu said with a smile. “Taking advantage of this opportunity, if General Li is willing to cooperate and lock down the County City, how about we split the obtained Merit Points equally?

“My War Beasts are quite adept at tracking.

“These Evil Demons and Outsiders, reeking of blood, are as clear and distinguishable as bright lanterns in the dark of night.

“I believe you are well aware of our results over these past few days, General Li.”

Hogging all the credit would naturally invite resentment, but if he pulled the Demon Suppression Bureau in to act together, the resistance would be vastly reduced. He wanted Merit Points. Could it be that Li Linfeng didn’t?

Furthermore, Qin Yu could only claim the Merit Points from the wanted list. Li Linfeng, however, was different. As a Demon Suppression General governing an entire region, clearing out the Evil Demons and Outsiders lurking in the shadows would absolutely be considered a monumental achievement. As for whether Qin Yu had the ability to do so? The thousands of heads still piled up inside the Demon Suppression Bureau were the best proof.

“How does Inspector Qin plan to proceed?” Li Linfeng asked, his expression instantly turning solemn. Without a doubt, he was tempted. In the Bishui River battle, his two old friends, Chen Jianqiu and Zhang Han, had practically had monstrous merits dropped right into their laps. The benefits they reaped were no less than what Qin Yu received. He, on the other hand, merely oversaw the County City and only got to sip the leftover broth.

“It’s simple,” Qin Yu smiled. “Don’t they like to hide?” A cold arc hooked the corners of his mouth. “Then I will root them out, every last one of them!

“For this matter, it’s not enough for just the Demon Suppression Bureau to step forward. The Evil Suppression Bureau Army needs to participate as well, otherwise we won’t be able to lock down the entire County City.”
