Chapter 409 - 409: Isn't This Courting Death?

There wasn't a trace of pity in Jiang Xinghai's eyes, only endless fury.

He used Void Capturing Object to grab the bald man's collar, raised his fist, and caved in the man's entire face.

"BAM!"

"Lingyin, follow up with a kick and send him out the window. Then he'll truly be meeting Yama," Jiang Xinghai prompted.

"Okay!"

Shen Lingyin's eyes were glacial. With her power gradually returning, she unleashed a sweeping roundhouse kick.

"THUD!"

The shrill wail sounded again as the bald man's body smashed through the window and tumbled out.

But this did nothing to quell Jiang Xinghai's fury. Instead, it burned even hotter.

He turned to the woman in sharkskin pants cowering in the corner. "The others. Where are they? Lead the way!"

His voice echoed in the spacious room, as if branding every word into the woman's very soul.

The woman's body trembled uncontrollably, like a lone leaf shivering in a storm.

Her eyes, once full of life, were now filled with nothing but endless fear and helplessness.

"O-Okay..." she stammered, her lips trembling and her face growing even paler.

"Lead the way!" Jiang Xinghai roared again.

The woman in sharkskin pants rose unsteadily from the corner and began to stumble toward the back of the warehouse.

It was as if she had never experienced a more difficult moment in her entire life.

Jiang Xinghai and Shen Lingyin followed close behind, their eyes flashing with a crimson glint.

Any restaurant staff who rushed at them, he struck down without hesitation.

He could only imagine the unspeakable horrors Mu Jianni and the other students would have suffered if not for his chance encounter with Shen Lingyin.

By the time they reached the warehouse, more than ten bodies lay scattered on the floor.

Every last one of them had been an accomplice at the restaurant.

Today, they had met their end at Jiang Xinghai's hands.

The woman in sharkskin pants was already scared out of her wits. She stopped in the depths of the warehouse. "In there... they're all in there..."

Jiang Xinghai said in a low voice, "Get lost. And tell your boss to get over here. I want to have a little chat with him."

The woman glanced at Jiang Xinghai in utter disbelief. 'He's actually letting me go?'

'And he wants me to call my man over?'

'Isn't he just asking to die?!'

Without another word, the woman in sharkskin pants turned and fled.

"BOOM!"

Jiang Xinghai shoved the warehouse door open.

The cacophony of loud music instantly assaulted them.

The so-called warehouse was actually set up like a karaoke room!

Colorful lights flashed inside. He could vaguely make out four women, their hands and feet bound and their mouths covered with tape, slumped drowsily on a sofa.

Two other women were drinking beer and singing karaoke, oblivious to Jiang Xinghai approaching from behind.

Jiang Xinghai shut off the stereo.

The two singers whirled around.

Mu Jianni and the other bound women looked up as well.

Jiang Xinghai was already in front of them. He grabbed them by their collars and lifted them off the ground. "You two must be the seniors who lured Shen Lingyin and the others to go hiking, aren't you?"

"Y-you…"

"Who are you?! Let us go!"

The two women had no idea what was happening. They tried to struggle, but their bodies went limp under the pressure of Jiang Xinghai's aura.

It was no wonder!

Before an early-stage Celestial Destiny Realm expert, two ordinary girls were as helpless as blades of grass in the wind.

"Brother Xinghai, that's them!"

Just then, Shen Lingyin turned the room's lights back to normal and casually tossed the woman in sharkskin pants into a corner.

"Well then, looks like they're in for a rough night," Jiang Xinghai said. He didn't kill them.

Instead, he knocked the two seniors unconscious and just dropped them on the floor.

He would take them back to Central State later tonight and deal with them then.

After that, Jiang Xinghai and Shen Lingyin quickly untied Mu Jianni and the other three women.

"Brother Xinghai!" Mu Jianni cried, throwing herself into his arms.

"Lingyin, you came to save us..."

The other three women crowded around Shen Lingyin, hugging her.

"It's all over now," Jiang Xinghai soothed Mu Jianni.

Then, he went to each of the four women and injected them with some of his True Qi, dispelling the Field Hunting poison that suppressed their Martial Arts cultivation.

After Jiang Xinghai comforted the other three girls and eased their fears, the group finally left the KTV disguised as a warehouse.

「The restaurant's main hall.」

"Let me show you guys what I can do."

Jiang Xinghai glanced around. He'd already taken down all the restaurant staff, including the cooks, so he had no choice but to cook himself.

In just over ten minutes, six hearty dishes were on the table.

A huge platter of chicken, a huge platter of fish, a huge platter of ribs...

The group was just starting to dig in with gusto when several vans suddenly pulled up outside.

"No one who causes trouble in my restaurant gets out of here alive!"

A brawny giant of a man, nearly two meters tall, stormed in with a large posse. It was Liu Biao, the husband of the woman in sharkskin pants.

"Husband, that's him!"

The woman in sharkskin pants rushed in after them, stomping her foot and pointing at Jiang Xinghai as she roared.
