All-class Gu Immortal

Chapter 57 Please Don't Force Me!

thump!
Zhou Qing threw Zhao Lie onto the grass and removed the monkey mask from his face.

"Erqing, don't let him die."

"Puff."

Erqing jumped onto Zhang Jian's body, spitting out silk threads that pierced his neck.

Soon, the crystalline threads turned pitch black, Zhang Jian's dark face gradually regained its color, and his breathing became much more stable.

At this moment, a tiny, purplish-black flying ant, about the size of a grain of rice, flew out from Zhang Jian's collar and hovered in front of Zhou Qing.

"As expected of an ant king fed on the flesh of a rare fungus, its toxicity is incredible. It's a pity one of them died."

Zhou Qing felt a pang of regret.

After a month of feeding, the purple fire flying ants have entered their third stage of breeding.

The fourteen strongest mutated purple fire flying ants all developed some intelligence.

To accelerate the cultivation process, Zhou Qing fed them a small portion of the Tai Sui meat.

Ultimately, half of the fourteen mutated purple fire flying ants were killed by the Tai Sui's botulinum toxin, while the remaining seven survived and acquired even stronger toxicity.

After the final round of fighting, only two of the seven mutated purple fire flying ants remained.

After being fed with Zhou Qing's blood, the two purple fire flying ants became even more closely connected with him.

He wouldn't have brought out two mutated purple fire flying ants if it weren't for the need to eliminate the enemy without anyone noticing.

Two mutated purple fire flying ants, one of which knocked Zhang Jian down.

The other one took down the flesh-refining realm martial artist who had just entered the forest.

Unfortunately, martial artists in the Flesh Refining Realm have stronger blood and qi, making them much more resistant to toxins than those in the Skin Refining Realm.

Although the Purple Fire Flying Ant retreated immediately after biting its opponent, it was still swatted to death.

Trading a mutated purple fire ant for the chance to kill a flesh-refining realm martial artist without taking damage is ultimately a win-win situation.

In terms of sheer toxicity, the flesh of the Tai Sui and the Crimson Flame are the strongest among his subordinates.

However, the flesh of the Tai Sui has no mobility, and the Crimson Flame continues to grow, its body length is already close to one and a half feet, so it is obviously unrealistic to use it for a sneak attack.

Purple Fire Flying Ants are small and highly stealthy, making them far superior to Crimson Flames for surprise attacks.

Unless one is a martial artist who has undergone comprehensive physical enhancement and possesses keen senses, why would an ordinary martial artist deliberately guard against a "mosquito"?

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I am Zhao Lie! My father is Zhao Shoucheng, the head of the Zhao family! I'll give you anything you want!"

When Zhao Lie saw Zhou Qing's gaze fixed on him, he was so frightened that he turned pale and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

Zhou Qing did not speak, but opened the folding fan in his hand.

This folding fan was taken from Zhao Lie.

bass!
The folding fan is wrapped in a layer of paper. Pressing the mechanism at the bottom instantly transforms the paper fan into a dark black iron fan.

The fan surface is dark black with a faint reddish tinge, suggesting that it contains a significant amount of black iron.

This fan alone is worth at least a hundred taels of silver.

"What a showy spearhead."

Zhou Qing frowned as he looked at Zhao Lie, who was trembling all over.

Based on our interaction just now, Zhao Lie's strength is not weak; he is at least at the peak of the Skin Refining stage.

However, his practical combat experience was terrible, and he was taken down by Zhou Qing in one move.

These pampered greenhouse flowers, who have never experienced the baptism of blood and fire, have very poor overall qualities.

On the contrary, Zhang Jian, who had been knocked down by the mutated purple fire flying ants, was now glaring at him hatefully, showing no sign of backing down.

"Seventh Master, stop begging! It's no use. He killed Steward Zhao and is afraid of the Zhao family's revenge. He will never let us go!"

Zhang Jian met Zhou Qing's gaze and said coldly.

"Shut up!" Zhao Lie shouted at Zhang Jian instead.

"Ah Qing, no! Master Zhou! Please let me go! I won't retaliate against you for a mere servant. They're all dogs of the Zhao family; they're dead if they want. I'll give you silver! A house deed! A beauty! What do you want?"

With a "crack," Zhao Lie's pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt.

His jaw was dislocated by Zhou Qing.

"You talk too much!" Zhou Qing frowned and put Zhao Lie's dislocated jaw back into place.

"You answer whatever I ask."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhao Lie quickly replied. "Why were you following me?" Zhou Qing asked in a deep voice.

"We suspect you killed Lin Qiu. Lin Qiu wanted to use the Zhao family's power to deal with his uncle, and agreed to share the wine worm with me after finding it. We want to capture it and are looking for your cooperation."

"Who else knows that you've been following me?"

"No! Yes! There are also the servants in my courtyard!" Zhao Lie was about to say no, but then changed his mind.

"You can't kill me, or the Zhao family won't let you off! There won't be a place for you in the entire Ping'an County, not for you."

Before Zhao Lie could finish speaking, Zhou Qing struck him on the neck with a chop and knocked him unconscious.

"Now, it's your turn." Zhou Qing turned to look at Zhang Jian beside him.

"You're searching for Jiuquan because you've discovered wine worms?!"

Zhou Qing had reason to suspect that Zhang Jian had been to the Cold Pool.

Because when he first went to the Cold Pool, he found two different footprints on the muddy ground at the edge of the pool.

At least two people have been to the edge of the cold pool.

"I didn't expect to survive after falling into your hands. Come on! The Zhao family will avenge us!" Zhang Jian said coldly.

"If you cooperate, I can let you die without pain. Otherwise, I'll show you that there are things in this world a thousand times more terrifying than death. Don't push me!"

Zhou Qing's tone was unusually calm.

"Hmph!" Zhang Jian sneered, "You can try all you want, Grandpa's waiting for you down there!"

As he spoke, Zhang Jian, who had regained some strength, opened his mouth forcefully, intending to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

Zhou Qing suddenly reached out and pinched Zhang Jian's mouth shut, saying coldly:

"If you want to commit suicide by biting your tongue, you have to bite the base of your tongue, close your mouth tightly, and choke to death with your own blood. Biting such a small amount won't kill you."

Have you ever seen a bear?

Zhou Qing suddenly spoke.

Zhang Jian was unable to speak, looking somewhat bewildered, as if he didn't understand why Zhou Qing suddenly brought up the bear.

"There is a type of bear that is the most cruel, which likes to play with its prey until it is half-crippled and unable to resist."

Then, while the prey is still conscious, it slowly tears at the prey.

Let your prey die in the most painful way.

Zhou Qing sighed softly.

"I only killed to protect myself. I don't like torturing people. You forced me to do this."

As he spoke, Zhou Qing flipped his palm over, and a crimson centipede more than a foot long crawled out.

Immediately afterward, to Zhang Jian's astonishment, the crimson centipede crawled to Zhao Lie's feet, gnawing at the flesh on his calf, and finally biting a hole and burrowing into the flesh.

"what!!"

The excruciating pain jolted Zhao Lie awake from his coma.

"Pfft!" The Green Silk Gu pulled out threads from Zhang Jian's neck and bound Zhao Lie's body, rendering him powerless to resist.

"Snap!" Zhou Qing dislocated Zhao Lie's jaw again.

"Hoh—! Hoh—! Crack—!"

Zhao Lie's eyes were bloodshot, his whole body was convulsing, his mouth was opening and closing weakly, his entire face was completely distorted, and the veins on his face and neck were bulging out, writhing like earthworms.

Silent pain is more terrifying than a scream.

"How could I possibly believe what you say when your reputation is so tarnished?" Zhou Qing said quietly. With his life and fortune at stake, he had no choice but to harden his heart.

"Puff."

At this moment, Erqing looked at Zhao Lie's rapidly withering thigh flesh and indicated that it also wanted to eat.

“Go ahead.” Zhou Qing nodded.

Erqing also burrowed into Zhao Lie's body through the wound.

"Glug~! Glug~!"

"Hah! Hah!" Accompanied by a drinking sound, Zhao Lie's body convulsed violently.

Zhou Qing seemed unable to bear the sight of Zhao Lie's miserable state, so he turned to look at Zhang Jian and sighed softly.

Please don't force me.
