Zhou Xun.
The younger brother of the Raging Fire Squad Captain.
During the period when Shen Ping was guiding Mu Yang in blade techniques, he specifically looked up information about the other party and naturally knew Zhou Xun's appearance and details. He just didn't expect to encounter him in County Town 416.
It wasn't exactly a narrow escape.
But since he encountered him, he had to get some revenge for the Captain.
Whoosh.
Leaping down from the rooftop, in a few swift movements, he landed on the ground, then swiftly moved towards the direction of the beast's roar.
With Shen Ping's profound mastery of movement techniques at the Concept level, it was incredibly easy for him to approach these warriors without alarming them. In a few minutes, he arrived at a nearby abandoned two-story coffee shop.
"First, deal with the Beast Soldiers. I'll hold off this Beast General."
Two of the three warriors accompanying Zhou Xun were War Generals, and the remaining one was a Intermediate War General, while Zhou Xun himself only possessed the strength of a High-level Warrior. Clearly, these three War Generals were accompanying him to the Wilderness Area out of respect for the Raging Fire Squad Captain.
After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting,
the Bleeding Tank was finally dealt with.
The four quickly rushed along the nearby street to a tall building.
Shen Ping, trailing them, hid in a residential building to the left of the tall building, then quietly made his way to the top floor corner, from where he could just see them through the rooftop.
Just as he was thinking about how to teach Zhou Xun a lesson,
he overheard their conversation. At first, they were talking about the Bleeding Tank and how to kill monsters more efficiently, but as they spoke, the topic shifted to the Raging Wind Squad.
"That Qin Shan, at his age, still wants to 'eat tender grass' (an old ox eating young grass, meaning an old man dating a young woman). That's fine, but he actually competes with you, Zhou Xu? He's truly overestimating himself."
"He's just humiliating himself. Now he's become a laughingstock in the warrior circle of our China Base City. By the way, Zhou Xun, how beautiful is that Huazhong University female student?"
"What, you want to get involved too?"
"How could I? I'm just curious. A girl who can catch Brother Zhou Xun's eye must be very good."
Shen Ping frowned as he listened, thinking to himself how shameless these War Generals were. To curry favor with the Raging Fire Squad Captain and the Zheng Family Consortium behind him, they even flattered his younger brother to such an extent.
Suppressing his inner discomfort, he continued to listen.
"That girl isn't exceptionally beautiful; there are many prettier girls at Huazhong University. However, she's very pure. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the patience to pursue her. But now my patience is running out. When I return from the Wilderness Area this time, if she still doesn't agree, I'll just take her by force."
Zhou Xun snorted, "There's never been a girl I wanted to play with that I couldn't get. When I'm tired of her, I'll let you guys have a taste of her, after all, this is the one the Raging Wind Squad Captain fancied."
The other three warriors immediately burst into laughter, "Brother Zhou is righteous."
"Tsk tsk, after we're done playing with her, we'll throw her to that Qin Shan."
Zhou Xun also laughed along, "Haha, that's a good suggestion, let's do that."
Upon hearing this,
Shen Ping's face darkened, and his fists slowly clenched. He knew that if things truly unfolded as Zhou Xun described, given the Captain's personality, he would eventually accept that girl, and this incident would forever be an indelible humiliation for the Captain.
He stopped listening.
He left the residential building. Originally, he only intended to teach Zhou Xun a lesson, but now he had changed his mind.
If such a scum were allowed to live, not only would countless girls be harmed, but the Captain would never be able to hold his head high in the future.
"The Captain has helped me so much; today, I will resolve this matter for him."
Having made up his mind,
Shen Ping no longer considered the potential consequences and impact of this matter. Whoosh, whoosh, his figure soared and shifted, and before long, he arrived near an Intermediate Beast General-level monster in the county town. Then, using himself as bait, he led this monster and a large number of Beast Soldiers nearby, quickly rushing towards the tall building where Zhou Xun and the others were resting.
Rumble~
A large number of Beast Soldier-level monsters trampled the ground, creating a huge commotion that made the entire tall building tremble slightly.
Zhou Xun and the others on the rooftop had long noticed this commotion. Initially, they were wondering which unlucky warrior it was, but then they realized this unlucky warrior was actually rushing towards their location.
"That damned fellow."
"Let's escape first. After we get away, we'll settle the score with him."
The movements of the few people were swift, but Shen Ping's movements were even swifter. With the Ninefold Thunder Blade activated, his speed surged dramatically, his body transforming into a series of afterimages. The moment they reached downstairs, he had already swept in front of them.
Puff, puff, puff.
The blade light of the Blood Shadow Battle Blade flashed, and the immense impact force directly fractured the bones in their legs. One by one, their bodies were sent flying backward, smashing against the wall.
Having done all this,
he swiftly retreated to the back corner of the tall building, standing still and coldly watching the distance.
"Ah, ah, who are you? Who are you, and why are you harming us?!"
The Intermediate War General among them roared, enduring the intense pain.
Zhou Xun even screamed hoarsely, "My brother is the Raging Fire Squad Captain! If you dare to touch me, he will definitely kill you!"
Shen Ping stared indifferently.
After more than ten years in the Wilderness Area, he had long learned to be cold-blooded, to never be soft-hearted once he made a move, and never to feel guilty.
Roar.
At this moment, a large number of Beast Soldier monsters had already charged over, completely engulfing them amidst their tragic screams of pain.
When the dust settled,
the Intermediate Beast General-level monster led its pack of Beast Soldiers away, swaying. Below the tall building, only scattered limbs and a chaotic mess of ruined architecture remained.
Shen Ping walked over and carefully checked everything, confirming that no traces of his actions could be seen. Only then did he swiftly leave the county town and head towards the Taihang Mountains.
Six days passed.
He arrived at a small town on the edge of the Taihang Mountains and found a third-story building to rest in when his communication wristband vibrated.
Upon connecting,
Mu Yang's excited voice came through, "Hahahaha, good news, great news! That Zhou Xun is dead, he died in the Wilderness Area!"
Shen Ping feigned surprise and said, "How could he die in the Wilderness Area? Didn't his brother, the Raging Fire Squad Captain, send War General warriors to protect him?"
Mu Yang chuckled, "Of course he did! It was another squad, a full three War Generals, but unfortunately, they arrogantly provoked an Intermediate Beast General-level monster. It's said they died a horrible death, not even a single complete bone could be found."
"The Raging Fire Squad Captain was furious and vowed to investigate thoroughly. He must have been dazed with anger. Even if there were other warriors in County Town 416, at most they'd be ordinary warrior squads. How could they possibly provoke Zhou Xun? This is what they call 'one who does much evil is sure to kill himself.' That Zhou Xun usually caused a lot of trouble, relying on having a High-level War General as a brother. He was ruthless and often bullied girls. Now he's finally gotten his retribution."
Shen Ping smiled, chatted with Mu Yang for a few more moments, then hung up.
"This Raging Fire Squad Captain doesn't have the ability of an advanced God of War. What could he possibly find out? Besides, when Zhou Xun had his accident, Qin Shan and Mu Yang were still in the Base City, so it's destined to be an unresolved matter."
"But I can't be careless. What if he, due to the pain of losing his brother, implicates others…?"
Thinking of this,
he called the Captain to remind him about the girl from Huazhong University.
