Chapter 1172 Wu Quan’s Request

Wu Quan’s body was shrouded in a gray plastic bag, his eyes fixed on the distant battlefield, his fingers moving in some mysterious trajectory, as if conducting a large-scale performance.

Swoosh——!

Just then, a sharp blade light cut through the sky, flying toward him at an astonishing speed!

The grim blade light cut through the dense rain curtain, and just as it was about to fall on the gray plastic bag, Wu Quan immediately freed one hand and made a grasping motion in the air toward the flying blade.

The edge of [White Slash] slightly deflected, flying past Wu Quan’s position,

The blade seemed to be guided by some mysterious force, circling around him twice before vertically hovering in front of him.

Just when Wu Quan thought the crisis was over, Lin Qiye, who was deep in the battlefield in the distance, narrowed his eyes, and both his body and [White Slash] simultaneously radiated magical light. In the next moment, his figure crossed space and arrived before [White Slash] in one step!

Reverse summoning formation!

Wu Quan’s pupils suddenly contracted!

“So you’re hiding here…”

Lin Qiye’s gaze and mental power had not captured Wu Quan’s form screened by the gray plastic bag, but this did not affect his next move.

In Lin Qiye’s eyes, a faint purple light suddenly erupted, a kingly aura surging out like tumultuous waves, and terrifying pressure instantly descended on every inch of land around.

“Come out!!”

Lin Qiye roared, like the rage of a tyrant, anger like thunder.

Wu Quan, shrouded in the gray plastic bag, felt an unprecedented pressure hitting his chest like a heavy hammer, and his entire body was involuntarily thrown backward!

In the pouring rain, a gray cloud-like plastic bag flew up into the sky, and a young figure bounced out from the invisible environment, falling heavily to the ground.

“Wu Quan?”

Lin Qiye saw the young man’s painful face and frowned tightly.

Wu Quan stumbled and fell in the rain, both hands supporting the ground, trying to stand up, but the next moment a figure flashed in front of him!

Lin Qiye held [White Slash], the blade directly against his neck. If Wu Quan made the slightest movement, this blade would easily cut off his head.

“It’s you…” Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes, “These past four years, secretly controlling Linjiang City’s ‘mysteries,’ ordering the massacre of the entire Li family, it was all you?”

Wu Quan’s lips were slightly pursed, looking at Lin Qiye who was like the king of the night before him, remaining silent.

“Speak.” Lin Qiye said coldly.

“…Yes.”

“Are you insane?” Lin Qiye grabbed his collar, his eyes fixed on this young but stubborn face, growling, “Secretly controlling Linjiang City’s ‘mysteries,’ no one would hold you responsible for this, in a sense, it’s a ‘merit’ rather than a ‘fault’…

But you actually massacred the entire Li family?

They were just ordinary people! Even if their methods weren’t clean, they certainly didn’t deserve to die. Killing over thirty Li family leaders in one go, this is the behavior of a demon!”

“A demon? So what.” In Wu Quan’s eyes flashed a bone-chilling coldness, “They hurt Grandpa Liu, and wanted to force us to move out. If they want to be ruthless, I’ll be even more ruthless… Only by killing them all could I protect this home!”

Seeing the madness flashing in Wu Quan’s eyes, Lin Qiye froze in place.

His expression was somewhat complex.

Just as Old Liu said, this child’s psychology was somewhat pathological; when encountering certain problems, his approach would often be more extreme than normal people.

Now, Lin Qiye truly understood this.

“Regardless, this kind of behavior is criminal,” Lin Qiye took a deep breath, “For malicious superhumans, Night Watchers have the right and duty to detain and arrest them at any time. You… must come with me to the Fasting House.”

Hearing these words, Wu Quan was stunned, then shook his head vigorously:

“No, I won’t go with you… I want to stay here!”

“This is not up to you,” Lin Qiye said expressionlessly, “Afterward, I will personally explain to Director Liu at the orphanage, but I will conceal the fact of your crime and imprisonment, finding an excuse to take you away from Linjiang…”

Wu Quan gritted his teeth and quickly retreated, disregarding Lin Qiye’s blade.

But unfortunately, Wu Quan’s physical condition seemed not strong, just maintaining the standard of an ordinary person. Lin Qiye only took one step forward, and his hand firmly grasped Wu Quan’s shoulder.

[Tyrant’s Rage] activated again, surging power poured into Wu Quan’s body, instantly suppressing him firmly. Large beads of sweat seeped from his skin, and he could no longer move a step.

“I said… this is not up to you,” Lin Qiye said calmly.

Wu Quan’s face was extremely pale, seemingly struggling against the tyrant’s power within his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from Lin Qiye’s grasp.

His pupils flashed with determination, a dim light flashed, and in the next moment, from the abandoned factory building beneath their feet, countless pieces of scrap metal flew up, heading straight for their position!

The swaying wind and rain seemed to be waved by an invisible hand, surging toward Lin Qiye’s face like a mountain-toppling sea!

Lin Qiye’s face sank, and the hand gripping Wu Quan’s shoulder applied even more force.

In the arrest of a malicious superhuman out of control, Lin Qiye had the authority to execute them on the spot. Through this brief direct contact, he had seen that Wu Quan’s physical condition was almost no different from an ordinary person. If he applied just a bit more force with his hand, he could easily crush his internal organs.

But he was unwilling to do so, firstly because Wu Quan was just a child, and secondly because he was Shen Qingzhu’s brother… even if they had no blood relation.

“I warn you, if you continue to make useless resistance, I will directly tell Director Liu everything you’ve done,” Lin Qiye said coldly. “Do you want your next meeting to be across prison bars?”

Wu Quan froze, the image of the elderly, talkative Old Liu appearing in his mind.

He pursed his lips, and after a moment of struggle, all the sharp weapons surrounding the two fell back to their original places, and the howling wind and rain also returned to calm.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye’s heart slightly relaxed.

It seemed his guess was not wrong. Wu Quan was not essentially bad; he just cared too much about the people in the orphanage. More than his own life and death, he was more worried that Old Liu and others would be anxious if they knew he was arrested and imprisoned.

Old Liu was already approaching his twilight years. If he learned that the child he had raised ended up in prison for murder and genocide, it would definitely be a fatal blow to him.

“…I can go with you,” Wu Quan said slowly after a long silence. “But I have one condition… no, a request.”
