Just in time for the second update! I beg everyone for clicks, recommendations, and to actively spread the word in the book group and forums. Let's all work together to boost this book!

Ding Minjun truly lives up to her reputation as a named character in this martial arts world.

Under the combined attacks from both front and back, she let out a fierce cry and suddenly flipped, causing Gang Laoda's dagger to miss. Although she was still hit by the dum-dum bullet in her arm, with the 50% reduction in the effectiveness of firearms in this world, she relied on the soft armor she wore underneath and the internal energy of the Emei Nine Yang Gong to resist the dum-dum bullet's penetration, suffering only a minor injury.

Gang Laoda roared like a raging bear, lunging at Ding Minjun.

Ding Minjun took advantage of the situation and kicked Gang Laoda's forehead hard, causing him to stagger backward. She then shook her long sword and thrust it at Gang Laoda's throat.

Ding Minjun was indeed formidable.

However, the liquid metal was as flexible as a water snake, instantly forming a metal collar around his throat, blocking Ding Minjun's sword.

Lin Qing watched the liquid metal with interest.

He wondered where Gang Laoda had obtained this liquid metal, which was so flexible and versatile, excelling in both attack and defense.

Seeing Lin Qing's gaze, Gang Laoda became even more enraged.

Such a newcomer appeared in the Hong Gang every day. When they saw a captain like him, they would always show the utmost respect. But this damned freak of a newcomer had used the plot to rise to the position of Emei Sect leader in just a month and a half, overshadowing the sky and reversing the carefully crafted plot of the Hong Gang.

This was simply unimaginable for him.

Gang Laoda said in a deep voice, "Don't even think about my liquid metal! After the recognition ceremony, it only recognizes me as its master. If I die, the built-in liquid micro-nuclear reactor will explode with the force of thousands of tons of explosives. None of you will survive!"

His face twisted, and he took a step forward, "If you don't let me go, we will all perish together!"

He squeezed the liquid metal in his hand.

A red indicator light appeared on the metal collar, beeping.

Lin Qing was startled.

However, if he didn't kill Gang Laoda, he would suffer the consequences. The more vicious and fierce Gang Laoda was, the more determined Lin Qing was to kill him. Otherwise, the Hong Gang, with all the information they had on him, would be extremely dangerous.

Lin Qing said coldly, "What are you hesitating for? He's a madman who will take you all down with him if he can't survive!"

Before he finished speaking, Gang Laoda suddenly screamed and turned his head in disbelief.

A triangular bayonet had pierced his heart from behind.

The captain of Red Flower Action Team Four, a powerful Chief-level adventurer, was thus ambushed from an unexpected angle.

The bayonet looked at Gang Laoda with a cold, icy expression.

"You... you..." Gang Laoda said coldly, "How could you?"

The bayonet replied coldly, "Boss, your liquid metal protection is indeed ingenious, but you only have 1.7% of the liquid metal from a T-1000 from the Terminator world, with limited coverage and deformation speed. This secret is only known to me, right?"

Gang Laoda roared, pulling the bayonet out of his body, blood spraying, and said in a furious voice, "Bayonet, I treated you well. Why did you betray me?"

The bayonet said expressionlessly, "Boss, you did treat me well, but... I want to live!"

The situation was clear.

Following Gang Laoda and fighting Lin Qing to the death would only result in mutual destruction, with no chance of survival.

Although Lin Qing's words were unreliable, there was at least a possibility of survival.

The bayonet made his move.

Seeing Gang Laoda attacked, the surgeon did not hesitate and immediately turned to flee.

With Gang Laoda, he could hold out for a while, but once Gang Laoda fell, it was all over.

The surgeon used some unknown item, and his speed suddenly increased, even Ding Minjun couldn't catch up for a moment.

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes flashed, "I'll catch him!"

She leaped up and rushed toward the surgeon. The thief Bayonet, the ranged KG, and the melee Hooker surrounded Gang Laoda with ranged shots, close combat entanglements, and sinister assassinations.

Under the three-person assault, Gang Laoda bled profusely but remained standing, leaving Lin Qing amazed.

This Hong Gang captain was so brave and skilled. If it weren't for the plot advantage, he would have been brutally killed in a one-on-one fight.

Gang Laoda, however, was filled with despair.

His subordinates, to save their lives, had completely betrayed the team and launched a deadly attack on him.

He angrily pressed the red dot on the liquid metal around his neck.

His bloodshot eyes, like those of a raging bear, roared, "If I die, we all die!"

The red dot on the liquid metal flashed more urgently and violently.

"Bad!" Lin Qing urgently ordered, "Retreat!"

He led Li Meilin, Yan Ran, and the Emei Sect to retreat rapidly.

KG and the others, being cunning and slippery, also knew to retreat when they saw Gang Laoda's desperate last stand.

But Gang Laoda had gone mad. Betrayed by these people, he was forced to self-destruct, filled with a desire to take as many people down with him as possible. Especially KG and Bayonet, he was determined to kill them.

He roared and grabbed Bayonet's arm, who stabbed his right arm in a frenzy, but Gang Laoda refused to let go.

At the same time, Gang Laoda threw a boomerang that wrapped around KG's ankle.

KG was trying to hide behind a large rock to avoid the impending explosion but was pulled back by Gang Laoda's control skill.

His eyes were filled with despair.

Ding Minjun, driven by greed, only saw that Gang Laoda was about to die and that she would soon become the top disciple, and launched a fierce attack with her sword.

A deafening explosion shook the sky!

Gang Laoda's liquid metal internal micro-reactor exploded with a tremendous force!

Although the explosion was not as powerful as the thousands of tons of explosives he had boasted, it was still equivalent to hundreds of tons of explosives, enveloping the area within a kilometer in a cloud of dust and debris.

Bayonet, who was tightly held in his arms, was blown to pieces along with his former leader, who had betrayed him at the end.

Ding Minjun, realizing the danger, screamed and tried to escape but was also blown to bits.

KG was thrown into the air by the shockwave, like a piece of paper.

The fleeing Hooker and the large rock he was hiding behind were also obliterated by the shockwave.

Lin Qing and the others, standing at a distance, were also affected. Several Emei Sect female disciples were injured.

Lin Qing's face turned ashen.

He never expected that Gang Laoda would have such a devastating last resort.

Are all Hong Gang captain-level adventurers this powerful?

He approached the explosion site to assess the situation.

Gang Laoda was dead, Bayonet was dead, and there were no remains left at the scene.

Ding Minjun was also dead, leaving only a severely deformed Emei long sword.

Lin Qing put on a show of sighing and ordered the Emei Sect disciples to bury Ding Minjun, who had high ambitions but a life as fragile as paper, as a fallen warrior.

The only regret was that he couldn't obtain Gang Laoda's [White Ape Cliff] map, which was a crucial clue to the Nine Yang True Scripture and Hu Qingniu's medical skills.

A sound came from the scene.

Lin Qing looked down.

A black, human-shaped hand was suddenly reaching out from the ground, spasming toward the sky.

The Emei Sect female disciples screamed.

Lin Qing frowned and pulled the hand out of the ground.

It was KG!

He was still alive.

But KG was only half a person, with his upper body intact and his lower body missing.

KG, on the brink of death, whispered, "Quick, give me medicine. I have medicine. Save my life, and I'll give you the secret map!"

The last sentence moved Lin Qing.

He followed KG's instructions and applied Emei Sect medicine to him.

But KG was in his final moments, gasping, "I know you're a newcomer. Swear to let me live, and I'll give you the [White Ape Cliff] map!"

Lin Qing nodded.

KG opened his palm, revealing a key.

"In my last moment, I shot Gang Laoda in the head," KG said with a bitter smile, "But my contribution to his kill was only 50%, so it's uncertain if I could draw the [White Ape Cliff] map. It's up to luck."

His luck was indeed good.

The [White Ape Cliff] map, which he had obtained through great hardship, was drawn by KG in the second attempt.

Without hesitation, he handed it to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing sighed and accepted it.

With this, he had gathered all four major relics of this world: Ice and Fire Island, White Ape Cliff, the secret passage of Bright Peak, and the headquarters of the Heavenly Eagle Sect. He had used the "help" of the Hong Gang to冒险解开了光明顶密道。

如果能完成剩余三个遗迹的探索，林清将获得20%的里世界探索度，拿到四封邀请函。

这对于一个独狼个人冒险者来说，简直是不可想象的成就。

不过，林清只是匆匆看了一眼地图，就收了起来。

KG眼巴巴地看着林 Qing, afraid that Lin Qing would take the item and then kill him.

But Lin Qing did not.

He let KG live.

A flash of surprise and joy crossed KG's eyes.

Indeed, he was a newcomer.

Although smart, he had not yet learned the ruthless but effective methods of the space.

If it were him, he would never take the risk and would certainly kill all witnesses to keep his secrets.

Lin Qing, however, stood up and nodded toward the distance.

He was looking for Hooker.

This time, without the Emei Sect women's help, two figures rushed forward like dogs.

They were the two servant thieves, Yin Wufu and Yin Wulu.

Lin Qing was puzzled. These two were always known for their low loyalty and potential to betray. Why were they now wagging their tails and showing such bravery?
