My whole family was brutally murdered? I awakened the thug system and went on a killing spree.

Above their heads, the Second Apostle moved.

The deep red glow of the neck veins burst outwards, and a stream of detached blood microparticles shot out from the back of its hand, targeting Qin Meng's exposed neck veins—intending to penetrate the bloodstream from the skin and complete the contamination at the level of bodily fluids.

The blood microparticles hit the high-grade copper sheet.

It can't penetrate.

Advanced copper skin completely severs this concentration of bloodline ability, locking it to the skin's surface.

The attack energy intercepted by the skin was also absorbed by the battle-hardened body, with 30% being absorbed by it.

[Elemental damage, 30% is converted into physical strength feedback.]

The First Apostle realized that Qin Meng's defense was more complete than expected. His bone armor extended in all directions, and the six large bone spikes decomposed into more fine bone spikes, forming a fan-shaped area of ​​attack.

Smash the left arm, the waist and abdomen, and the outside of both legs.

Each time it hits, the bones are damaged.

Each time, 30% conversion rate.

As the amount of energy transformed increases.

Qin Meng's right fist began to change color.

On the dark gold-black fist surface, the dark red blood energy from the six layers of power feedback solidified. It was no longer a gaseous permeation, but rather visibly attached to the surface of the fist, forming a luminous deep red film.

The First Apostle rushed into close range.

Forty centimeters.

With a sweeping motion, his left arm slammed into Qin Meng's chest.

boom.

Qin Meng was knocked back three steps. The concrete ground beneath his feet cracked within a two-meter radius. Three through cracks appeared in his sternum.

[Battle-hardened Body triggered. Accumulated feedback has reached the current limit.]

The First Apostle glanced down at the result of the smash.

A low-level thug withstood seven direct attacks and remained standing.

This was beyond its entire predictable range.

This pause was the 0.3 seconds that Qin Meng wanted.

The dark red blood energy that had been accumulating in his right fist was compressed extremely inward in that instant.

Qin Meng slammed his right leg back, creating a crater in the ground beneath his feet, and slammed forward into the First Apostle's close range.

Not with full force, not with the force of the punch.

It is the feedback of seven layers of power after the body of a hundred battles is fully stacked, plus the basic physical mass of 227 points of physique, precisely concentrated on the contact surface of the two square centimeters at the very tip of the fist.

It struck the First Apostle squarely in the sternum.

boom!

The chest cavity collapsed inwards as a whole.

The mutated bone armor exploded from the inside, and fragments of broken ribs flew in all directions.

Qin Meng's fist did not retract its force, but continued to advance—passing through the ruptured chest cavity, his five fingers touched a muscular organ much larger than a normal human heart.

The pulse is extremely slow.

However, the energy density generated by each jump is extremely high.

Bring your five fingers together.

A dull thud, mixed with the sound of liquid bursting.

The First Apostle's entire skeletal structure ceased movement at the same time. His 2.4-meter-tall body lost all support and collapsed downwards.

boom.

The ground shook.

The Second Apostle, high in the sky, saw this scene and began to rise vertically from its hovering position.

It's incredibly fast.

It was more than three times faster than when it was descending.

Blood microparticles surged outwards from its entire body, obscuring its vision, while simultaneously attempting to penetrate the clouds at high speed and disappear into the night sky beyond the reach of the Ye family's searchlights.

It is running away.

Same plot, same script, different characters.

Qin Meng withdrew his right hand, and the blood of the First Apostle on his fist cooled in the air, turning into a dark clot.

He took a half step outward with his right foot.

With both legs firmly planted on the ground, assume a horse stance and lower your waist.

The muscles in the right arm begin to compress rapidly, and the bones generate perceptible high-frequency internal vibrations during the power-gathering process of the punch.

A row of neat cracks appeared on the concrete ground outside his right foot, from bottom to top.

The Second Apostle had already risen to a height of seventy meters, and another twenty meters would allow it to enter the clouds. The intensity of the light emanating from the blood vessels in its neck suddenly decreased—it was actively suppressing its own blood and qi concentration, attempting to reduce the heat source signal after entering the clouds and completely disappear from Qin Meng's perception and tracking range.

Qin Meng loosened his right arm to gather strength.

Push your fist forward.

boom--

A high-pressure column of air, ten meters in diameter, burst forward from the condensation point on the fist, cutting through the air above the abandoned street and piercing upward in an extremely clean straight line.

The Second Apostle had no time to react.

The moment the air column struck, its body exploded outward, turning into a cloud of dark red blood mist that spread in all directions.

Rain-like microparticles of blood fell slowly from a height of seventy meters and were dispersed by the night wind in a south-east direction.

Qin Meng withdrew his right arm and waited for the brief soreness to subside.

The system panel pops up on the retina.

[Slayed the First Apostle of the Dawn of Flesh and Blood (Tier 7, Enhanced Physical Type). Violence Value +21000.]

[Slayed the Second Apostle of the Dawn of Flesh and Blood (Tier 7 Bloodline Mutant). Violence Value +21000.]

[Current Violence Level: 88000]

Combining the small fry he killed along the way, his ferocity value reached a terrifying 88,000.

Qin Meng crouched down and began searching the body of the First Apostle.

There were no communication devices and no identifiable document identifiers.

However, there was a hard lump under the skin on the inner side of the First Apostle's right thigh.

It is not a hard lump formed by bone abnormalities.

It was implanted artificially.

Qin Meng reached inside, peeled back the skin and flesh, and took out a metal piece the size of a thumbnail.

The surface of the metal sheet is covered with extremely fine etching lines, and there are three ablation marks on the edge, showing a dark blue oxidation residue—the unique color of the psionic circuit when it breaks under overload.

This is not something from the dawn of flesh and blood.

The transformation style of Dawn of Flesh and Blood uses all living organic materials and no metal components.

The manufacturing characteristics of this metal piece belong to the same system as the encrypted terminal previously seized from Wang Hai.

The Zhao family.

Qin Meng flipped the metal sheet over.

There is a line of very small etched text on the back.

"Spiritual Vein Location - Jiangcheng South District - Coordinates Locked."

The string is followed by two sets of geographic coordinate data.

Qin Meng mentally compared the two sets of coordinates to a map.

The first group—is the abandoned street where we stepped on the energy amplitude of the ground during our advance tonight.

The second group is located deeper in the southern area.

Two kilometers north of the abandoned dock.

The calibration device that the Zhao family provided to the Flesh and Blood Dawn Apostles has already completed the location of the spiritual veins at two core coordinates.

This means that the Zhao family sent the detection results to Flesh and Blood Dawn at least two months ago.

The Zhao family provided intelligence to Flesh and Blood Dawn, who were responsible for clearing the area and protecting it.

It's an exchange.

Qin Meng held the metal piece in his hand and stood up.

In the distance, the night wind blowing from the direction of the abandoned dock swept through the street, bringing with it a cold air current mixed with the fishy smell of river water and the odor of chemical waste.

Has Jiang Nuonuo mentioned the spiritual vein marking device?

No.

But she couldn't possibly not have this information.

10 PM, abandoned dock.

Qin Meng stepped over the remains of the First Apostle and began to advance deeper into the southern district.
