American Zombie Detective

Qin Jin and Constanze started playing almost simultaneously.

Vistahermosa Natural Park is a vast, complex area located northeast of downtown Los Angeles.

"Helicopter, prepare for takeoff!" Qin Jin shouted sharply into the communicator. "Target: Vistakhmosa Park!"

The four people, along with the bear cub, rushed to the rooftop. When they arrived, the propellers were already spinning, and the pilot in the seat was frantically adjusting the microphone on his hat. As the propellers sped up, the helicopter quickly took off.

In just over ten minutes, they reached the airspace above the park. Even before they could descend, Qin Jin had already spotted the target on the ground—

Although they were far apart, the violent and chaotic auras of both sides could still be felt!

Below, on the rugged forest road, a horse-drawn carriage with an oriental flair was speeding along, the black horse pulling it moving at an almost insane speed, kicking up fallen leaves and dust high behind it.

A young woman was stuck to the roof of the carriage.

She had a seductive figure, wore a long cyan dress, and her long, black hair was piled up on top of her head. Most striking was the long whip in her hand—

It was actually a complete snake skeleton. As the woman waved it, the red light flashed in the eyes of the skull snake head, and its upper and lower jaws closed and clicked.

The group chasing her was bizarre and chaotic, a veritable hellish mess:

At the front were several heavy motorcycles, with riders of various appearances, some with horns and others spewing black smoke from their mouths;

Finally, there was a muscular off-road vehicle rampaging wildly, crushing bushes and rocks as it kept cutting through the woods.

Even more extreme, it runs wildly on the ground in the form of a demon, on all fours, at a speed comparable to a vehicle, while constantly unleashing inhuman power!

suddenly!

A demon with bat wings suddenly swooped down from the side of the tree canopy, its claws aimed at the woman on the roof of the car!

Without turning her head, she simply flicked her wrist, and the long whip instantly circled around, lashing the demon with a piercing whistling sound!

Before the demon could even scream, it was whipped into pieces in mid-air, turning into burning fireballs and fragments that fell to the ground and burned to ashes!

"Wow...that's amazing!" Constantin gasped. "What a powerful whip! And that woman...is she from Qingqiu?"

Qin Jin's attention wasn't actually on the woman, but rather on the man in the car—

Although it appears to be in human form from a distance, the immense sense of oppression and the violent aura mixed with the smell of sulfur confirmed Qin Jin's identity.

"The one ahead should be Qingqiu!" Qin Jin made his judgment: "Because the one chasing her is Marduk!"

The chase below intensifies, and they are heading towards the more complex and treacherous canyon area!

Qingqiu's whip lashed and shattered the low-level demons that were chasing after him, but Marduk's vehicle was getting closer and closer, and it looked like it was about to catch up!

Just as the carriage was about to rush into the canyon entrance, two flames suddenly spewed from Marduk's nostrils. At the same time, the arm that was sticking out of the window instantly swelled and became demonic, growing thick and long, covered in scales, and then grabbed a low-level demon running beside him!

"go--!"

Marduk's arm muscles bulged, and he slammed the terrified, struggling demon onto the roof of the carriage like a cannonball!

This throw was incredibly powerful and extremely fast!

Qingqiu reacted just as quickly, his whip flashing out like lightning—BOOM!

The whip tip, crackling with electricity, struck the flying demon's body with pinpoint accuracy, the immense impact causing the whip to suddenly sink!

Qingqiu's expression remained unchanged as he forcefully threw the demon, which was bitten by the snake's mouth, into the distance...

However, this opportunity was seized by two demons riding motorcycles and resembling salamanders!

They opened their mouths, which were filled with sharp teeth, and two hot, viscous breaths, like compressed magical fireballs, slammed into the connection between the carriage wheels and axles!

"BOOM—!!!"

Amidst the violent explosion, the carriage's axle snapped instantly, causing the entire vehicle to veer out of control and crash violently into the mountainside. Then, with a deafening roar, a large amount of white smoke erupted. When the smoke dissipated, the carriage vanished, leaving only a small wooden carving of the carriage on the ground.

Qingqiu leaped up just before the explosion, gracefully flipping through the air before landing steadily. Her face was slightly pale, and her moon-white dress was stained with dust and sparks.

The moment she landed, the long whip began to dance around her body, spinning rapidly to form defensive rings around her body, with countless snake heads flashing in the whip's shadows like clusters of shadows.

The demon that had rushed close had already pounced on him without a care!

"Rustling sound—"

The snake head on the whip suddenly burst out, and countless snake shadows flew out from the whip shadows. Some had two or three snakes, while others had four or five. They all bit the pursuing demons, and even Marduk was bitten!

Then, Qingqiu flicked the whip in his hand!

The snake shadow instantly transformed into a whip shadow, whistling as it slashed across the demons. The demons could only let out half a scream before being cut and shredded by the whip shadow, turning into balls of flame!

In the blink of an eye, the once noisy and chaotic battlefield was reduced to just the two opposing sides.

On one side was the demon lord Marduk, who had just stepped out of the dark red sports car, and whose true form was now partially revealed—

Its massive body, over three meters tall, was covered in thick, dark red to almost black scales, with menacing bone spurs growing from its joints. A thick tail trailed behind it, ending in a sharp bone hammer.

Its head was like that of molten lava, its eye sockets burning with sulfurous flames staring intently at Qingqiu, its huge demonic claws opening and closing slightly, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression and a pure desire for destruction.

The whip's shadow had also caused it some minor damage; its shoulder and cheek were scratched, dripping with molten, scalding blood that landed as a small ball of flame.

On the other side was Qingqiu, wielding a long whip crackling with lightning and surrounded by a ring of thunder.

She stood ramrod straight, her exquisite face devoid of any expression, only a frozen calm.

Those captivating phoenix eyes now held only cold vigilance and an imperceptible solemnity!

However, Qin Jin could clearly sense that her aura had weakened somewhat after her powerful attack, and...

What puzzled Qin Jin was that the power he sensed from Qingqiu didn't seem to match the legendary status of the Four Great Fox Demons. He wondered what was wrong with it.

The reason why Qingqiu and Marduk are now in a clear standoff is because the helicopter has landed on the ground not far from them.

The cabin door opened, and Qin Jin, Constanze, Alessa, and Catherine quickly jumped out, leaving only Yuanxiao on the plane. Then they took off again, far away from the battlefield.

They stood at a distance, neither approaching nor making any clear indication of friend or foe.

Constanze and the others were waiting for Qin Jin's decision, but Qin Jin himself was actually unsure whether to help or not.

If they don't help, there will be even more trouble if the two great demons leave. It's the right thing to do to kill one of them now. Qin Jin knows this very well!

But if I help, who am I helping?

This made it difficult for him to make a decision.

The deathly silence was broken by Qingqiu's clear, slightly urgent voice.

Her captivating phoenix eyes locked onto Qin Jin precisely. Her voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the wind in the canyon:

"Qin? Or Detective Qin?"

Qingqiu stared at Marduk opposite him, but spoke to Qin Jin:

"For the sake of us both being from the East, aren't you going to help your fellow countryman and just let me be torn apart by this thing that crawled out of hell?"

Before Qin Jin could answer, she continued:

"Help me, let's take care of this together! Not just for me, but also to get your job done! I swear, once this is gone, I promise I won't cause you any more trouble in Los Angeles, maybe even..."

She paused slightly, then offered an even more enticing bait:

"I can also tell you the secret of the Seven Star Suppressing Evil Diagram!"

These words, employing a combination of soft and hard tactics—promises, threats, intelligence enticement, and moral blackmail—precisely grasped Qin Jin's psychology, clearly demonstrating the thoroughness of her prior investigation into him.

However, the demon lord Marduk on the other side was clearly no pushover either.

Its eyes, burning with sulfurous flames, swept over the newcomers, especially sensing the eerie aura emanating from Qin Jin and Aresa, as well as the scent emanating from Constantine. It then unleashed its own bait—

"Hey! You human who committed suicide, the gates of heaven are forever closed to you. You're destined for hell! What are you still thinking? Come help me. After you die, you'll have a prestigious place in hell. That's your only way out!"

Constantine's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he trembled with rage at having his secret exposed!

Marduk then shouted at Qin Jin:

"And you, unknown monster! I sense a powerful force within you, but that's not enough. Accept my demonic power; it will make you stronger, and it will also transform the little monsters beside you..."

"Get him!"

Before Marduk could finish speaking, Qin Jin was already furious!

"Kill this bastard!"

Marduk offended almost everyone with just a few words due to his ignorance!
