Chapter 28: Killing Li Qiang

  "Su Hong, little brother, if you still don't feel safe, I can arrange for a few professional bodyguards to go over there with you, that way it'll be absolutely foolproof." Noticing the slight pause on the other end of the phone, Li Dairen spoke up with a suggestion.

  "No need, Brother Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I'll handle this matter myself." Su Hong said.

  "You want to handle it yourself? Su Hong, this isn't a joke. As far as I know, Li Qiang has also undergone a blood energy enhancement. Although I don't know what attribute he enhanced, one thing is certain: his physical quality has far surpassed that of an ordinary person and is absolutely not something you can deal with." Li Dairen warned in a low voice.

  "Li Ge, let's talk later, I have something to attend to here, I'll hang up first." Su Hong didn't explain much and hastily hung up the phone, because he noticed that the young man with a baseball cap downstairs had already entered the building and would probably find his way to his home soon.

  Taking a deep breath, Su Hong's heart was slightly tense. As an otaku who had never encountered such a sudden situation before, he didn't have any experience in fighting for his life with others. But thinking of his experiences in the Xue Yue space, he couldn't help but laugh dryly, and a hint of bloodthirstiness appeared in his eyes.

  "Let's just consider this a battle, like the one in the Xue Yue space. It's either you die or I live!" Su Hong regained his composure and calmness, quickly walking towards the living room. Although his muscles still ached somewhat and he wasn't in top condition, after a day of rest, his body was no longer seriously injured.

  "Crack!"

  After a faint, almost inaudible cracking sound, the anti-theft door of Su Hong's house was quietly opened, and a young man wearing a baseball cap and holding a metal bat slipped in from outside.

  "Your disguise is pretty good, but if you want to play baseball, shouldn't you be at the stadium? Did you get lost and end up in my house?" Su Hong said coldly.

  Su Hong had long been on guard, Li Qiang couldn't help but pause for a moment, but then he smiled carelessly and said coldly: "You stinky brat, it seems that Li Daliu treated you quite well, telling you many things. But what's the use? You'll still die at my hands, no one can save you!"

  Li Qiang sneered repeatedly, his eyes cold and menacing as he glared at Su Hong with a venomous expression. In his opinion, if it weren't for Su Hong's words, he wouldn't have been kicked out of the team by Li Dairen. What made him even more resentful was that in their previous battle, he, Li Dairen, and Chu Ge had used a team prop token they had finally managed to get their hands on to enter the same battlefield, hoping to earn some Blood Coins. But who would have thought that in the end, it was Su Hong, a newcomer, who stole the show.

  However, Li Qiang had not thought that if it weren't for Su Hong, the battle might have already been lost. He wouldn't have received any Blood Coin rewards and would have instead faced severe punishment from the ruler.

  What's more, the reason why Li Daire kicked him out of the team has nothing to do with Su Hong, but because he was too selfish and self-interested, completely disobeying orders, even taking advantage of the situation to blackmail, committing a major taboo in the team, which is why Li Daire kicked him out.

  Su Hong glanced at Li Qiang lightly and didn't say much, although this feud came somewhat unexpectedly, with a bit of an unjust disaster feeling, but since the other party had already struck at his doorstep, he naturally wouldn't just sit and wait for death.

  Since reason won't work, we'll just have to settle this with our fists!

  Su Hong was very decisive and didn't bother to waste any more words with Li Qiang, directly stepping forward and punching towards Li Qiang's face.

  "Bastard! Do you think this is the Burial Moon space? This is the real world, and with your small build, you dare to confront me?! Seeing Su Hong take the initiative to attack, Li Qiang was slightly stunned before suddenly becoming furious, swinging the metal bat in his hand, viciously smashing it towards Su Hong's arm."

  "Ah!"

  The cold light flashed, the metal rod's shadow whistled, and Li Qiang's rod came down. The air around him seemed to cut through a white wave, and a sharp explosion sounded, enough to show how powerful this rod was.

  Li Qiang's mouth was curled up with a cruel smile, already imagining the wonderful scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere in the next moment. He didn't think an ordinary person could withstand this blow of his.

  "Power Up?!"

  Feeling the strong gust of wind sweeping over, Su Hong's eyes slightly narrowed, but he didn't show much panic. With a straight arm swing, his sleeve swept horizontally, and his clenched fist loosened, grabbing at the incoming bat without dodging or evading.

  "Is this guy out of his mind? He must have been scared stupid!" Li Qiang's face was ferocious, and he increased the force in his hand again, slamming it fiercely towards Su Hong.

  Bang!

  A dull thud, the bloody scene Li Qiang had expected did not appear, instead his bat was tightly clutched in Su Hong's hand, no matter how hard he struggled to break free, it didn't budge.

  "Impossible!" Li Qiang's ferocious smile froze in an instant, turning into an endless terror-stricken expression, as he incredulously shouted out loud.

  "There's nothing impossible, it's all your own doing." Su Hong smiled coldly and exerted a slight force with his right hand, effortlessly snatching the metal bat from Li Qiang's hands. The top of the bat was completely dented, with five fingerprints clearly visible.

  "Can blood power be strengthened? You must have undergone blood power strengthening, otherwise you wouldn't have such great strength. But how is this possible?! Li Qiang suddenly came to his senses, but his face still had an unmistakable look of doubt, because he couldn't understand at all how a new hand could undergo blood power strengthening in such a short time, it was completely beyond his imagination."

  "Is it just a strengthening of power?" Su Hong's mouth slightly curled up, and without seeing any movement, his entire body transformed into a faint shadow, with a speed that was astonishingly fast, instantly arriving behind Li Qiang.

  "Agile enhancement? You've actually undergone agile enhancement, and the speed is absolutely not something that can be achieved with just one agile enhancement. And that overwhelming power from before has also surpassed me by a lot... Could it be...?" Li Qiang's mind was completely blank, he had no idea what to think anymore, all that was left was endless fear.

  Li Qiang originally thought that with his strong physical quality, which had undergone a blood enhancement once, it would be easy to deal with an ordinary otaku like Su Hong. He had already planned his escape route and was prepared to leave B City immediately after killing Su Hong and venting his grievances, intending to return later when he became stronger to cause trouble for Li Dali again.

  In his plan, killing Su Hong was just a casual move, only to strike back at Li Da Lei, but he never thought that the young man in front of him, who was not taken seriously by him, would actually push him to the brink of despair.

  "Someone with at least one enhancement in strength and agility attributes? How can I possibly handle that?" Li Qiang's forehead was covered in cold sweat, his legs felt weak, he turned around and ran away, fleeing through the door. All thoughts of revenge were thrown out of his mind.

  "Want to run? It's too late!" Su Hong's figure flashed, relying on the +2 agility attribute, he instantly blocked the door with his super-fast movement speed, leaving no room for Li Qiang to escape.

  "Su Hong, my brother, you are a magnanimous person, spare me this once, how about it? I, Li Qiang, swear that from now on, I will never trouble you again and forever disappear from your sight!" Li Qiang was quite bold, seeing no way to escape, he immediately opened his mouth to plead for mercy.

  "Spare you? It's not impossible, it depends on your sincerity. First, hand over all your Blood Coins." Su Hong said with a hint of a smile.

  "Blood money?" Li Qiang's face flashed a hint of pain, but after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "Alright! Although it's a bit hard to part with, being able to save a life is already a gain!"

  After finishing, Li Qiang walked to Su Hong's side, lowered his head, looked at the blood tattoo on his left chest, and asked as if resigned: "By the way, Brother Su Hong, what is your Blood Code number? Only by knowing your Blood Code number can I transfer my Blood Coin to you."

  But just as he lowered his head, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his right hand quietly moved behind his back, pulling out a handgun bought from the black market, quickly aiming at Su Hong in front of him.

  "You stinky brat, you're still too naive, die!" Li Qiang sneered and immediately pulled the trigger, wanting to make him hand over the Blood Coin. That was absolutely impossible, not to mention that from the very beginning, he had never planned to let Su Hong off, the more potential Su Hong showed, the more jealous and resentful he became, and he couldn't wait to get rid of him.

  But it was at this moment that his eyes suddenly flashed, and Su Hong's figure suddenly disappeared from his line of sight.

  "If you're looking for death yourself, then don't blame others." Su Hong's eyes flashed with a cold glint as he stood behind Li Qiang and said in a chilly tone.

  As soon as the words fell, Su Hong didn't give Li Qiang a chance to turn around and shoot again. With a heavy punch, he struck Li Qiang's back, and immediately heard a dull explosion. His heart was shattered, and Li Qiang's entire body went limp and fell to the ground, already dead beyond recognition.

  "Is someone killed?"

  Su Hong looked at Li Qiang's corpse, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, because the expected discomfort did not appear, but instead, a hidden excitement and frenzy surged deep within him.

  Su Hong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, somewhat unaccustomed to the change in his mindset, but after thinking about something, his eyebrows relaxed again. The essence of Shuang Yue Space was bloody and cruel; if he couldn't overcome this knot in his heart, how could he stand firm in Shuang Yue Space?

  "Just ask your heart if you have no regrets!" Su Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of determination, and he calmly stepped over Li Qiang's body, picked up the phone on the table, dialed Li Daren's number, and said lightly: "Brother Li, the trouble has been taken care of."
