Chapter 82

"Looks like you're the boss of this Heavenly Pride Gambling Den!" Qin Peng's gaze fell on the man who was slowly approaching, and he said calmly, "It was you who detained my friend, right?"

The man in black sized up Qin Peng from head to toe. His first impression was that Qin Peng was definitely not an easy opponent. After all, this man in black had experienced a lot and had a deep understanding of Qin Peng. This guy was not going to be easy to deal with.

"My name is Zhou Lin. When did I detain your friend? I'm curious, what exactly did my side do to your friend?" The man in black looked at Qin Peng and slowly said.

"My friend is a student at the Talent Academy!" Qin Peng said slowly, "I'm also curious, why do you have the nerve to detain my friend today!"

A student at the Talent Academy?

Zhou Lin was taken aback, then immediately recalled something. He looked at Qin Peng with a sneer and slowly said, "I do have some memory of this. However, your friend owes our Heavenly Pride Gambling Den a huge gambling debt. This is not something that can be easily repaid. If you want to redeem your friend, you can, but you need to pay ten million star coins. Additionally, you killed and caused destruction in my casino, which also needs to be compensated, totaling thirty million star coins!"

"Fine, no problem!" To be honest, thirty million was nothing to Qin Peng now.

"Don't rush, I'm not done yet!" Zhou Lin paused slightly and continued, "In addition to this, you need to kneel at the entrance of my casino for three days and three nights. If you dare to cause destruction in my casino, you must be prepared to pay the price!"

"What did you say?" Qin Peng lightly licked his lips, a mocking expression on his face, "Repeat what you just said?"

"Kid, don't think that just because you're strong, I won't do anything to you!" Zhou Lin laughed, "Do you really think that with your strength, you can do whatever you want in the black market?"

As he spoke, the optical brain in Qin Peng's mind suddenly started beeping non-stop. The data showed that three more powerful individuals were approaching. Their combat strengths were 68, 70, and 82, respectively. Before Qin Peng could say anything, the four of them had already surrounded him from four directions.

"More people?" Qin Peng lightly licked his lips, but his smile did not fade. He slowly said, "So, you're not planning to release my friend!"

"It's not that we don't want to release him, but you need to do as I said, kneel and apologize, and pay the debt. If you can do that, you can leave here unharmed. If not, you'll leave here in a horizontal position!"

"Hehe, Fourth Brother, why are you wasting time with this kid?" The strongest and oldest of the four laughed, "In the morning, one came to die on their own, and in the afternoon, another one came. Hehe, this one looks even more delicate and tender, I bet he'll be delicious!"

His voice was shrill, like a eunuch with a hoarse voice, but the words he spoke were extremely lewd. Li Shaojie, who was with Qin Peng, couldn't help but shiver, and his skin was covered in goosebumps.

Qin Peng lightly exhaled, turned around, and his gaze fell on the leader. He slowly said, "What did you do to my friend?"

"What did I do?" The leader laughed, "Of course, we had some fun! You know, students like you are the most popular here!"

"Looking for death!" Qin Peng roared, and his body suddenly moved.

With a whoosh, a gap appeared in the air. Qin Peng's muscles suddenly tightened, and his inner strength flowed through all his acupoints, stimulating them one by one. Instantly, Qin Peng's combat strength skyrocketed, and his muscles bulged, like coiling dragons.

Heavenly Martial Transformation!

Waves surge, sifting through the sand!

In this moment, Qin Peng used his most terrifying power, sifting through the sand to remove the dross. His palm swung out, and it seemed as if countless waves were rolling, the momentum was astonishing.

The leader of the four, seeing Qin Peng suddenly attack, his pupils contracted violently.

However, he remained calm. Just as Qin Peng's palm reached him, he sank his waist and struck with his right fist.

This punch, though it lacked the momentum of Qin Peng's sifting through the sand, was powerful and contained astonishing force.

Boom!

In the next second, the two fists collided fiercely. Instantly, the surging power collided, and Qin Peng's body swayed slightly. The leader of the four took a few steps back. In terms of combat strength, he was slightly superior to Qin Peng after the Heavenly Martial Transformation, but Qin Peng's move was so powerful and intimidating that it caught the leader off guard, putting him at a disadvantage.

Qin Peng's left hand suddenly swung out, an invisible gust of wind directly hit the leader of the four.

At this level!

The leader of the four's body sank, and he was extremely disdainful. Was this guy's brain broken? Did he really think he could suppress him with just a gust of wind?

However, soon, the leader of the four realized he was wrong.

Those gusts of wind did not have much impact, but they penetrated his chest and directly entered his heart. The cold sensation instantly made the leader of the four feel icy cold, as if the blood in his heart was being sucked away.

"What's going on?" The leader of the four's face was filled with confusion.

He didn't know that Qin Peng's left hand attack was not an attack but the release of a ghost. This ghost, created from the ancestor of Terra, had stronger spiritual power and could devour human essence and blood. Devouring essence and blood was not only a means for the ghost to enhance its power but also a way to sustain its life.

Lower-level ghosts needed Qin Peng to provide them with essence and blood, but this high-level ghost could devour the essence and blood of others.

To resist a high-level ghost, one needed to reach the True Dao realm and use true qi to expel the ghost. At the Physical Body realm, there was no way to resist it.

In that instant, the leader of the four felt icy cold all over, and his strength could not be unleashed. Qin Peng sneered and appeared in front of the leader of the four, placing his hands on his shoulders, and then tore with force.

Pfft!

The leader of the four let out a piercing scream, and his body was torn into two halves, blood spraying everywhere.

"Leader!"

Seeing this, Zhou Lin and the other three shouted in unison. They couldn't believe that the strongest of the four, the leader, was taken down by Qin Peng in just a few moves. The gap in strength was too great!

They were still in shock when Qin Peng's body flashed, and he appeared in front of the one with a combat strength of 70.

Whoosh!

A palm struck out, and this guy hurriedly raised his arm to block Qin Peng's attack. However, just as he made this move, he felt a cold sensation in his heart, and his movements hesitated. His fingers couldn't move, and he could only watch as Qin Peng's palm approached.

Bang!

His head was directly struck by Qin Peng, and with a loud sound, his head exploded like a watermelon, red and white matter splattering everywhere.

"This kid is really brutal to the extreme!" Someone in the crowd subconsciously swallowed their saliva, their eyes filled with intense fear.

The Zhou family's four brothers were well-known in the black market, but these four brutal individuals were taken down by Qin Peng in an instant, and the two strongest were among them. Those who knew them felt a chill run up their spines.

And you!

Qin Peng pounced, directly attacking the one with a combat strength of 68.

No...

This guy was truly terrified and tried to run, but Qin Peng's speed was too fast. As he turned, Qin Peng was already behind him, and his right index finger pointed at the guy's back.

Pfft!

The finger pierced his heart perfectly, and a jet of blood instantly spurted from his chest.

This guy had no fighting spirit, and Qin Peng didn't need to use the ghost, but he still released it. After all, the ghost needed to be fed, and the blood of such a strong individual would certainly contain a lot of essence, which would be good for the ghost.

Finally, Qin Peng's gaze fell on Zhou Lin.

At this moment, Zhou Lin had no fighting spirit. As soon as Qin Peng's gaze fixed on him, he fell to the ground with a thud, his pants wet. He had never imagined that such a terrifying thing could happen. His three brothers, his support, had died right in front of him.

"You, you don't come closer!" Zhou Lin struggled to move backward on the ground, but his shoulder suddenly trembled. Then, he saw Qin Peng step on his shoulder, a sinister smile on his face, "What, didn't you just tell me to kneel? Do you still want me to kneel now?"

"No, no!" Zhou Lin stammered, "I, I know I was wrong, please, please let me go, I, I couldn't recognize your greatness, please, please, just let me go!"

"Hmph!" Qin Peng sneered and slowly said, "Release my friend immediately!"
