Chapter 70

Relying on the strong corrosive power of the acid, Saison and Ninyao easily opened the safe, revealing the jewels inside. Although most of them were still encased in organic glass boxes, they were so captivating, exuding an elegant and dazzling brilliance.

Saison and Ninyao knew it wasn't the time to admire them and quickly packed the boxes and jewels into their bags, jumping off the armored car. They were just about to head towards the second armored car when they saw two sparks, tracing bizarre arcs, hit Zokuza, who was hiding behind the car.

One hit his temple, the other his liver, both fatal points. Zokuza, who had just reloaded his magazine and was about to pull the trigger, fell straight to the ground without any reaction. His finger involuntarily tightened, pulling the trigger, "Da da da da da..." A burst of bullets hit the car used for cover, sending up a series of sparks.

Saison looked further and saw Ferren's hand retract behind the car. He immediately pulled out two grenades, pulled the pins, and threw them at the car shielding Ferren.

Ferren, hiding behind the car, saw the grenades flying towards him through the broken rearview mirror. He immediately spun to the right, his right hand with the gun quickly sweeping upwards. Bang bang, two more shots, two sparks tracing bizarre arcs, almost simultaneously, hit the two grenades in mid-air.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The two grenades exploded in mid-air, creating a deafening sound.

The series of events left Chou Zhaqiang, who was bleeding profusely, and Xie Yixin, who had been of little help, stunned. However, Xie Yixin also noticed the wound on Ferren's back from a sniper bullet when he spun to the right, and felt ashamed.

"Fuck!"

Ninyao, seeing Ferren dodge in such a bizarre way, cursed and was about to use a grenade launcher, but a muffled sound came from the other side.

"Bang!!"

It was the sound of a heavy sniper rifle. Saison and Ninyao exchanged glances, knowing that Feng Roler had started firing, which meant the police were coming from Lao Du's side.

At the same time, the sound of sirens could be heard faintly from the far end of the meeting road. Saison made a quick decision and said in his earpiece, "We've already taken half the value of the jewels, better than nothing, let's retreat!"

"Bang!!" "Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!"

After Roler and Qiangwo each took another shot from their high vantage points, they fell silent, clearly retreating.

"Save the grenades, we might need them later!" Saison stopped Ninyao while firing at Ferren, and then both retreated into the pumping station.

Ferren also heard the distant sirens and saw Saison and the others showing signs of retreating through the rearview mirror. He quickly told Xie Yixin, "Stay here, guard Qiangzi!" Without waiting for her objection, he rushed out with his Glock.

Upon reaching the scene, Ferren found all five armored cars overturned, with no signs of life inside. Just as he was about to chase into the pumping station, the Unsha Xuanjin Qi (Mystic Golden Qi) within him underwent a surprising change.

Others couldn't see it, but Ferren could feel the blood and resentment qi within a ten-meter radius being absorbed through the Yingxiang acupoints on the sides of his nostrils, quickly passing through the Hand Yangming meridian to the Foot Yangming meridian, then into the Foot Taiyin and other twelve main meridians, and finally returning to the Dantian through the Governor and Conception Vessels. After this cycle, Ferren's Unsha Xuanjin Qi had grown stronger.

Perhaps it was a second, perhaps a year, but when dozens of fresh blood and death qi were completely absorbed by Ferren, his Unsha Xuanjin Qi reached an unprecedented level of fullness. This transformation surprised Ferren, as the *Unsha Zhenjing* (Mystic Unsha Scripture) he knew by heart only described how to cultivate and strengthen Unsha Zhenqi (Mystic Unsha Qi) through twelve levels, and mentioned only four words about connecting with the demonic qi of heaven and earth: "aptitude" and "sensitivity."

Ferren never expected to encounter such a mysterious phenomenon here. After all, breaking emotional ties leads to immortality, while indulging in desires leads to becoming a demon. Resentment qi, blood qi, and even the qi of those who died unjustly are all born from desires and contain demonic nature, which Unsha Zhenqi can absorb and convert, though the amount varies.

It's worth noting that the *Unsha Zhenjing* is also divided into twelve levels. Despite being the most basic cultivation method in the demonic path, its realm is almost on par with the *Xuanjin Gong* (Mystic Golden Art). This is why Ferren's Unsha Zhenqi could only reach the peak of the second level before he could no longer advance, even after unblocking his meridians.

However, from that point on, Ferren realized that the Main God's influence on the real world was limited, which is why the Main God had to replace the divine and demonic powers in Ferren's body and erase his memory of A-level and above cultivation methods during the final exchange.

The *Unsha Zhenjing* is the only B+ level cultivation method Ferren remembered. The other methods in his mind, except for the incomplete A-level *Xuanjin Gong* he exchanged, were all B, B, C, C, or even lower-level garbage methods. These methods were unintentionally memorized by Ferren during his early cycle missions, and there were many of them, dating back a long time. If the Main God hadn't strengthened his memory of these methods while erasing part of his memory, he might have forgotten them.

Ferren felt dazed for a long time, but in reality, it was just a moment before he came to his senses, surprised to find that his Unsha Xuanjin Qi was showing signs of breaking through the barrier between the second and third levels.

First-stage Gene Lock!? It shouldn't be that easy to break, right?

While Ferren was pondering, the sirens were getting closer. He couldn't afford to think more and chased into the pumping station. Although he knew the two bandits ahead were excellent marksmen, Ferren didn't hesitate, constantly moving and changing positions as he advanced quickly.

Even so, Ferren was still a step behind. By the time he reached the external gate of the pumping station, Saison and Ninyao had already jumped into the sea, or rather, onto two of the three motorcycles lined up on the water, the third one originally reserved for Zokuza.

"Buzz—"

The two motorcycles sped off, and as Saison left, he didn't forget to shoot at the fuel tank of the remaining motorcycle.

"Bang bang!"

"Boom—"

The last motorcycle exploded with a loud bang. When Ferren arrived, he only saw a ball of fire on the water and the two motorcycles speeding away. Although they were less than a hundred meters away, the range of his Glock wasn't enough. On the motorcycles, something seemed to be attracting his Unsha Xuanjin Qi, almost pulling him into the sea.

At this moment, the duty officer at the pumping station heard the explosion and poked his head out. Ferren saw him and shouted, "Police! Do you have a boat here? I need to requisition it to chase the bandits!"

The duty officer glanced at Ferren's gun and his fierce expression, quickly throwing over the keys. "Yes, yes, it's right around the corner of the gate."

Ferren caught the keys, ran over, and saw a speedboat docked below. He immediately jumped on, started the engine, and chased after the motorcycles, which were still within sight. However, he soon noticed that his Unsha Xuanjin Qi had calmed down, likely because the motorcycles were getting farther away.

The speedboat Ferren requisitioned had excellent performance, with a top speed of over fifty knots, but it was still slower than the motorcycles. Fortunately, the motorcycles Saison and Ninyao were riding weren't professional, and they weren't much faster than Ferren's speedboat. Although the distance was increasing, he could still keep them in sight.

The noise from the motorcycles was very loud, and if it weren't for Saison's habit of looking back, he wouldn't have noticed Ferren chasing them. After observing for a while, he relaxed, as the distance between Ferren's speedboat and their motorcycles was increasing, almost out of sight.

By the time Saison and Ninyao landed at a certain spot in Kowloon Bay, Ferren's speedboat had already disappeared from their view, but they hadn't disappeared from Ferren's view. So, when Saison and Ninyao entered the buildings by the shore, Ferren, who had quickly landed, sensed the attraction that made his Unsha Xuanjin Qi restless again.

With this attraction, Ferren easily followed the bandits' trail and even took the time to send a text message to Xie Yixin, informing her that he had landed in Kowloon Bay.

When Ferren followed them into an abandoned construction site, he could faintly hear Saison and Ninyao talking. He sneaked up to a relatively intact temporary worker's cabin and listened more clearly.

"How much fluoroantimonic acid do you have left?" Saison asked.

"Not much, why?" Ninyao replied.

"Bring it all, we need to corrode this metal box!" It turned out that not all the jewels they stole were in organic glass boxes; there were also seven or eight sealed metal boxes, and Saison was referring to one of them.

Hearing this, Ninyao shouted, "Are you crazy? This is something Death God... wants, and we can get five hundred million dollars just by handing it over!"

Saison sneered, "If Death God's boss is willing to pay five hundred million for this metal box, how valuable is the content inside? Do you think we have a chance to raise the price?"

"Boss, are you serious? Five hundred million is enough for the rest of our lives. Why risk offending those troublesome people from Death God for more money?" Ninyao劝道, "Besides, they've already agreed to let us keep the other jewels, which is also a significant amount."

Saison said coldly, "Hmph, are you really naive? Death God's strength is at least as strong as ours, if not stronger. Why did they ask us to do this? Do you think we'll really get five hundred million after handing over the metal box? They are not benevolent people!"

(①: Cutting your wrist to commit suicide is a desire to die; getting a shot in the buttock to draw blood is a desire to heal... All such actions contain human desires in the blood qi.)

(②: Because the realms are almost equal, Ferren chose Unsha Zhenqi to implement the risky move of unblocking his meridians.)
