A layer of white mist could be vaguely seen around his body; it was unclear whether it was his vision being blurred after the injury or steam formed in the rain due to his high body temperature.
"I have no grudge against you, and you went to such lengths to kill me just for money? Was it worth it?"
Zhao Qiang said.
Leng Qinghu remained silent, just as if he had always been mute, and Zhao Qiang did not want to hear anything from him.
He just didn't want to finish off Leng Qinghu so quickly.
This person almost beat Su Su to death.
They also poisoned Wang Meng and his grandmother.
He even put himself in danger several times. If he hadn't accumulated a lot of energy in his body, Zhao Qiang would be lying on the ground right now.
Its limbs might not even be as complete as those of the Cold Green Fox.
"Liu Heping hired you?" Zhao Qiang wanted to confirm the news he had heard. Even if Leng Qinghu was eliminated, the employer behind him still existed. The Luo family would still be his enemy. Even if he didn't want to consider the Luo family his enemy, he couldn't. This enmity had already been formed.
Zhao Qiang pulled out a compression gun and said, "Since you're not going to say anything, I'll take that as a yes. The winner takes all, and the loser is an outlaw. You've lost now."
Leng Qinghu suddenly chuckled, "Who wins and who loses is still uncertain!" Zhao Qiang turned around and saw that the armed police soldiers who had been chasing him had arrived, about twenty in number, with reinforcements behind them. They were all armed with rifles, their muzzles pointed at Zhao Qiang. "Don't move! Don't move!" Zhao Qiang's turn immediately gave Leng Qinghu an opportunity. He had secretly concealed a pistol in his hand. Bang! He fired a shot at Zhao Qiang's head. The bullet hit the energy ball, forming an exaggerated sharp point that made close contact with Zhao Qiang's forehead before ricocheting to the ground. Zhao Qiang was terrified.
Fortunately, we were prepared. This guy really knows how to seize opportunities.
Leng Qinghu was astonished that even at such close range, with a specially made high-powered pistol, Zhao Qiang was not harmed in the slightest. He was so surprised that he forgot to control his calm expression. "You, how did you do that? Are you a human or a ghost?" Zhao Qiang raised the flared muzzle of the gun at Leng Qinghu again. "I am the devil in your dreams."
"Put down your gun! Put down your gun!" the armed police officers shouted repeatedly, but Zhao Qiang wouldn't listen to them.
Bang! The compressed air blast struck Leng Qinghu's chest! However, Zhao Qiang used low-power compression, so the force wasn't very strong.
He didn't want to kill Leng Qinghu with a single shot.
Bang bang bang.
As Zhao Qiang fired his gun, the armed police officer also fired back.
The bullets swept in like raindrops from the sky.
After being blocked by the energy ball, he bounced back to the ground. Zhao Qiang ignored the attack behind him and stepped on Leng Qinghu's arm, which was already spurting out a large pool of blood. "That shot I just fired was on behalf of Su Su."
The next shot is Wang Meng's way of returning the favor. "Release him immediately!" An officer rushed out from the armed police force.
Zhao Qiang turned around with a cold smile and said, "How do you know who he is?" The officer replied, "I don't care who he is."
He is our soldier. If you dare to kill him, you are making an enemy of our armed police force! Zhao Qiang laughed loudly: "If I were to put on a military uniform..."
"Would you say that when he almost killed you?" Zhao Qiang said as he switched to the electromagnetic gun and fired a shot at Leng Qinghu's arm. Because it was a close-range shot, the power was greater. After the bullet pierced Leng Qinghu's arm, his arm and shoulder were only connected by a few strands of muscle that were about to break off. Leng Qinghu was in excruciating pain and rolled around on the muddy ground.
The officer was so angry he was about to vomit blood! The rumbling sound of engines drew near. "Two armored vehicles and another helicopter followed, and they formed a combined attack formation against Zhao Qiang."
Enraged, Zhao Qiang reached for the monstrous screwdriver at his waist, transformed it into a longsword, and hurled it with all his might, sending the sword hurtling towards the helicopter in the air.
Zhao Qiang aimed the electromagnetic gun at the armored vehicle with his other hand.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, the remaining four bullets were fired, the engine of the armored vehicle immediately stopped, and a thick smoke billowed out from inside. It was unclear which part of the equipment had been punctured and caught fire.
The helicopter's fuel tank was pierced by the longsword, and a large amount of fuel poured down. Zhao Qiang activated the weightlessness device, pushed off the ground, and sprang towards the helicopter. He pulled the sword out of the fuel tank and shouted to the pilot, "What are you waiting for? Run for your life!" The pilot obeyed, pulled open the cabin door, and jumped down towards a tree! Zhao Qiang's sword struck the helicopter's electrical circuit.
The advantage of X-ray glasses is that they can clearly analyze the helicopter's vitals in advance, so this stab immediately caused a short circuit and fire.
Zhao Qiang pushed the helicopter away, and with a loud bang behind him, the helicopter exploded in mid-air.
At the same time, the fire in the armored vehicle below intensified, and after the crew had safely escaped, it exploded with a loud bang.
The provincial capital will not be peaceful today.
No one knows the extent of the loss! Leng Qinghu was still crawling on the ground, desperately trying to escape to a farther place. Zhao Qiang stood behind him.
The sword in his hand gleamed coldly as he raised it and swung it at Leng Qinghu's leg. "This leg is for Grandma Wang! The other one is for me."
More than a dozen armed police officers rushed over to grab him, but Zhao Qiang kicked the man at the front away and then, before they could stop him, chopped off one of Leng Qinghu's legs with a single stroke.
He kicked the broken leg at the armed police.
Several armed police officers worked together to catch the broken leg.
He then threw it away and vomited on the spot.
Seeing that Leng Qinghu was almost dead and could barely open his eyes, Zhao Qiang cleanly and swiftly added another cut, severing his remaining leg as well. At this point, Leng Qinghu was practically a human stump.
Even a celestial being would shake their head in disbelief.
Even if Zhao Qiang avenges Leng Qinghu, it doesn't matter whether Leng Qinghu lives or dies. If he dies, all is well. If he doesn't die, the remaining pain will be his repentance for his past sins, regretting that he shouldn't have met Zhao Qiang and shouldn't have offended him.
Zhao Qiang's arrogance thoroughly enraged the officers.
He recklessly commanded his soldiers to charge forward, shouting, "Kill him! We must kill him! Avenge our fallen comrades!" In reality, he didn't know whether any comrades had actually died; he was simply drawing conclusions based on his own subjective judgment.
This is incorrect.
This is a huge slander against Zhao Qiang.
In the night rain, distant searchlights illuminated everything around him as if it were daytime. Zhao Qiang, holding a chillingly sharp sword and with two strange guns tucked into his waistband, stood like a cold stone pillar in the storm! He coldly faced the bullets from the charging armed police. He was not afraid; he would penetrate tanks without hesitation.
The helicopter slashed at the fire with a single blow; what could possibly stop him! One soldier charged forward, and Zhao Qiang knocked him down, until even the officer was punched to the ground. He tried to shout something, but Zhao Qiang simply punched him again, knocking him unconscious. At that moment, a dozen military vehicles arrived, and from afar, someone shouted, "Stop hitting him, Old Zhao! Show mercy! Show mercy!" Show mercy? Zhao Qiang sneered.
Those who deserved to die probably wouldn't survive, but he didn't kill a single one of those who didn't deserve to die.
In the end, he's the one who's at the biggest disadvantage, so why should we show him any mercy! Zhao Qiang doesn't need to care about anyone's opinion now. If you have the guts, come and kill him! If you can't kill him, then shut up! Today's Zhao Qiang is different from the one in Hedian District back then! He's no longer that timid student walking on thin ice! Yang Shiqi was filled with grievances. How could she have imagined things would develop to such a complicated point? Originally, when she arrived in the provincial capital, she still had a chance to stop the situation from escalating further, but she was stopped by Grandpa Yang. Grandpa Yang's words were still ringing in Yang Shiqi's ears, "I have already ordered two armed helicopters and armored vehicles to reinforce the armed police force. If the equipment that Zhao Qiang secretly made for you is effective, he should be able to survive."
Yang Shiqi asked with concern and urgency, "But what if it doesn't work? Or what if the effect isn't enough? Or what if something unexpected happens? Armed helicopters and armored vehicles."
Moreover, there are two of each; can a single soldier handle that? Besides, there are a large number of armed police and regular police reinforcements on the ground. Grandpa, are you trying to kill Zhao Qiang? Don't forget, he's the only one who can refine "materials" now! He's the only one who knows how to manufacture advanced weapons.
Grandpa Yang's voice was deep and steady: "It's precisely because he holds our throats that I'm testing him! The development of the nation's military power shouldn't be controlled by him!" Yang Shiqi retorted loudly on the phone: "So, Grandpa, you mean you want to kill Zhao Qiang? Do you know you're doing something you'll regret for the rest of your life! Not only will the nation's military power not develop, it will regress!"
Volume 2 [268] Ending
"I never intended to kill him," the old man reiterated.
If he wants to control me, then he needs to have the ability to control me. If he doesn't have that ability, it's better for us to get rid of him sooner rather than later, so that he doesn't gradually control our Yang family. If he does have that ability, then why not let him develop his power?
Yang Shiqi said indignantly, "Grandpa."
I don't care what you think, I just need you to guarantee that Zhao Qiang won't get into trouble.
The old man did not answer.
Instead, she said, "Give the phone to Major Wang." Yang Shiqi had no choice but to hand the phone to Major Wang.
Major Wang glanced at Yang Shiqi after hearing her words, his expression quite troubled, but he immediately said, "Yes, sir, I guarantee to complete the mission." Before Yang Shiqi could ask what her grandfather had said to Major Wang on the phone, Major Wang waved his hand and several soldiers came up. Major Wang said, "Take Young Master Yang into the room and let her see what you are doing, sir."
Restrict her freedom for one hour.
Yang Shiqi was stunned, then jumped up and struggled to prevent the soldiers from taking her into the room: "Bastards! Let me go!"
"Yang Zhaoxi, you old fool! You don't understand Zhao Qiang's temper at all. You'll provoke him and ruin our cooperation. You're not worthy to be my grandfather!" An hour later, Yang Shiqi was finally free. Although she was arrogant and domineering, the soldiers around her were loyal to the old man first, and only secondly to her. Yang Shiqi tried everything but couldn't escape the room. She felt like she was living in hell, and couldn't even call Xu Xiaoya and the others.
We just endured it all, with no idea what was happening outside.
Judging from the firelight and explosion sounds at the window alone, Yang Shiqi knew she was in deep trouble. It seemed there would be no future cooperation between her and Zhao Qiang. Her grandfather was completely ignorant; he only knew how to act according to his own ways, treating everyone as pawns in his hands. He would regret it sooner or later.
Yang Shiqi drove to the scene without stopping. On the way, she encountered a battlefield. It was a highway outside the district. An armored vehicle was lying on the ground, and for some reason, several holes had been drilled into the armored vehicle. A helicopter had also crashed, and a commercial building had been bombed.
A residential building was severely damaged.
Hearing that the fighting on another battlefield was still fierce, Yang Shiqi dared not stop and continued to rush forward without pause.
Despite rushing, Yang Shiqi was still late. Everything had already been finished. Zhao Qiang sat on the roadside stone in the rain, his expression calm yet proud. Beside him was a large sword more than three feet long. After being modified again, the length and thickness of the sword had increased, and it looked even colder. Its sharpness and sturdiness were naturally incomparable to before.
Zhao Qiang placed it in a spot where he could easily reach it.
He kept himself in a fighting stance, then took out a cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette and tried to light it with a lighter, but the cigarette was already soaked and couldn't be lit. However, Zhao Qiang didn't mind, and still closed his eyes and took a deep drag, as if the smoke had circled in his lungs before finally exhaling. Only a man could understand that exhilarating feeling.
"Old Zhao".
Yang Shiqi jumped out of the car and rushed straight to Zhao Qiang, ignoring the situation on the ground.
But I don't know where to begin explaining it, just a simple "Old Zhao".
He could not utter another word, his face covered in tears.
The additional armed police force that participated in the battle has moved over, numbering about two hundred people, plus more than three hundred local police officers. They formed a formidable and imposing force, sealing off the area completely, with people even on the rooftops.
Bright beams of light were everywhere.
However, heavy weapons are no longer available.
Although they saw their comrades being knocked down and Leng Qinghu being brutally beaten, the sudden appearance of this convoy of military vehicles made them hesitant to act rashly. So the commander made a phone call and then ran out of the command vehicle to ask, "Which one of you is Lieutenant Colonel Yang?" Yang Shiqi ignored him, staring at Zhao Qiang with tears streaming down her face, but Zhao Qiang completely ignored her. So Major Wang stepped forward and said, "What is it? This is my identification. It's not appropriate to disturb Lieutenant Colonel Yang right now."
Please tell me.
The commander glanced at the identification and immediately saluted: "Good morning, sir. Captain Shi Genyang is reporting to you. I just received a call that command on the ground has been handed over to Lieutenant Colonel Yang. Please instruct Major Wang: 'Have your men handle the battlefield immediately.'"
"Strive to minimize the impact of the incident."
Shi Gengyang pointed at Zhao Qiang: "That man is a serious criminal."
Major Wang shouted angrily, "Who said that?"
Shi Genyang said in a low voice, "The instructions from above are to eliminate them at all costs." Now Major Wang said, "I'm in charge here now. This is all a misunderstanding! Someone is interfering."
Shi Gengyang dared not ask any more questions and immediately saluted to carry out his mission: first, to clean up the battlefield, as there was a lot of debris; second, to contact the local government to control the impact of the battle, preferably to immediately shut down all external communications of the provincial capital, including wired and wireless networks, otherwise rumors would spread like wildfire, and it would be impossible to control the truth and falsehood at that time.
As for the so-called serious criminal, Shi Genyang, as a soldier, could only obey orders.
Zhao Qiang picked up his greatsword, stepped forward, and kicked Leng Qinghu, who was already unconscious. Whether he was dead or alive was unknown...
Still not satisfied, Zhao Qiang chopped off his other arm with a single stroke. The onlookers were astonished by the seemingly cruel act, which was practically tantamount to mutilating a corpse.
Yang Shiqi didn't dare to say a word.
He stood obediently behind Zhao Qiang, not uttering a sound even as tears streamed down his face.
Only now did she show the fragility a girl should have. No matter how spoiled and arrogant she was, she always relied on her family's influence, not her own true abilities. But Zhao Qiang dared to cut off Leng Qinghu's arm in front of hundreds of law enforcement officers, which was entirely based on his own strength! I'm not convinced.
Then let's keep fighting! If I can't beat him, I can always run away and come back when I've gathered enough energy! "He is Leng Qinghu."
After uttering these five words, Zhao Qiang activated the anti-gravity device and then, in full view of everyone, leaped into the air like a cannonball.
While in mid-air, the greatsword suddenly transformed into a steel cable that gripped the eaves of a nearby building, pulling his body over. Then, the cable loosened, and he shot back towards a building further away. In a leap, Zhao Qiang disappeared into the darkness of the rainy night.
Yang Shiqi was completely powerless to help.
