Chapter 589: Chapter 181: The Bai Family Patriarch

Li Xin’s form was like a looming curse, making Bai Peng unable to shake off the fatal danger that haunted his mind. The overwhelming pressure also provoked Bai Peng’s ferocity. With a roar, his eyes shot out scarlet light, and his heart thundered again.

All his potential exploded—Soul-Draining Heart.

The fiery Spiritual Ability erupted like a volcano. Li Xin’s movements began to slow, but the next moment, Li Xin punched Bai Peng’s abdomen, accurately channeling his power and completely shattering Bai Peng’s defenses.

All of Bai Peng’s strength came to an abrupt halt. He knelt on one knee, relying only on the Battle Axe for support, drenched in cold sweat, gasping for breath.

"This reckless desperation rarely yields results. Even if the Spiritual Ability is equal, it only gives the opponent an opportunity," Li Xin said.

At this moment, Bai Peng shouted, "All together!"

Originally just watching, Suerte, Huerta, and others rushed forward, ready to take advantage. Li Xin chuckled, and a dark golden light flashed in his eyes. Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Spiritual Burst!

The base windows shattered instantly. As the crowd rushed towards Li Xin, they were directly blasted back, staggering and losing their attack power. Their heads buzzed, and their senses blurred.

At this time, Bai Peng, who seemed to have lost his combat power, suddenly launched a sneak attack. The Battle Axe fell, and Li Xin raised his right hand, catching the Battle Axe.

The entire Black Rose Base fell deathly silent. Bai Peng’s chest heaved, his face flushed, his breath sharp and quick.

Bai Peng threw the Battle Axe aside, sat on the ground, and laughed heartily, "I knew it, Yan Tianguang is no match for you!"

This was Bai Peng’s arrangement. However, when everyone faced Li Xin, it was like dealing with a chick. Huerta crouched down, and the power just now had perfectly shattered his Spiritual Ability.

Li Xin felt a mix of emotions, "Not necessarily, he’s a Preparatory Angel."

"But you are Avogadro!" Bai Peng said, "Okay, everyone disperses, clean up the aftermath."

Li Xin and Bai Peng arrived at the President’s Office. Although Bai Peng was a bit hurt, it was nothing serious. Li Xin had controlled his attack precisely. Bai Peng was no fool, able to achieve this level meant Li Xin’s strength was far above his, which matched his judgment of Li Xin. Others had misjudged, no, Yan Tianguang probably knew.

Taking off his clothes, Bai Peng looked at the fist mark on his chest, "My bones didn’t break?"

"Do you want them to?" Li Xin grinned.

"Haha, just joking, don’t be angry," Bai Peng laughed, "Brother Li, it wasn’t I who wanted to test you, it was my ancestral elder, a senior member of the Secret Castle Association, my grand-uncle actually."

"He knows about me?"

Bai Peng nodded, "Actually, since returning from the Secret Castle Association, he knew. This time you appeared in Dragon Capital, the elder was even more concerned than I was. When he heard you lost to Yan Tianguang, he didn’t believe it, so he asked me to test you. Blame him if you must."

"You’re quite capable of dodging blame."

"Brother Li, the elder wants to meet you. He says it’s very necessary you meet," Bai Peng said. For others, this was definitely a great honor, but facing Li Xin, Bai Peng was not so confident.

"Oh?" Li Xin did not immediately agree, "He’s so confident?"

"He said he knows the meaning of Avogadro," Bai Peng said.

Li Xin didn’t appear calm; the Secret Castle... He judged that the reason he could come out of the Secret Castle wasn’t because of his strength, but because the Secret Castle allowed it. The mark on his body and "Avogadro," he also wanted clarity, possibly it’s related to his mysterious past.

In Celestial Capital and Hedan, it was one thing; his former self was from Celestial Capital, but in Dragon Capital, there were no clues. Could he truly be an "ordinary person"?

Li Xin currently wielded such powerful strength, he was confident against anyone below an Angel, partly due to himself, partly from his former self. His physical and Spiritual Ability strength far exceeded ordinary people. Could such a person be unknown?

Finally, someone wanted to meet him.

Li Xin smiled, "I would also like to meet this elder."

"Haha, then Brother Li, I’ll reply like that. I seldom see the elder too. He appears only every few years, and this time, he’s specifically coming to meet you," Bai Peng said.

Bang, bang, bang...

A black cat was urgently tapping at the window. Li Xin got up, seeing it was Justin.

Li Xin immediately let it in, and on its paw was a letter.

Li Xin opened the letter, not from Xueyin, it was from Qi Badao, and something had happened.

"Old Bai, a friend of mine is in trouble, I have to go."

"Brother Li, let me know if you need anything," Bai Peng nodded.

Li Xin followed Justin and jumped out of the window. Justin was in a hurry. If it weren’t serious, Qi Badao wouldn’t have contacted him through Justin.

He took a carriage all the way to a safe house in the South Fourth District. This was Qi Badao’s habit. He would always prepare a place for himself to stay alive wherever he was.

Justin scampered inside, pointing to the barely alive Qi Badao on the bed. Li Xin’s face also became serious, "What happened?"

"Brother Li, I’m done for," a pale-faced Qi Badao said softly, looking utterly despondent.

Li Xin’s gaze swept over him. His pupils instantly turned pale. This guy... wasn’t injured, just inexplicably weak.

"Speak plainly," Li Xin said in a deep voice.

Justin, crouching nearby, silently observed Qi Badao. It sensed something was terribly amiss with its former gang leader master, something chilling.

"An Abyssal Worm has been implanted in me," Qi Badao said, grimacing, "Those cutthroats at the Hundred Martial Hall, I want to fight them to the death!"

Li Xin heard this and tore open Qi Badao’s clothes. There were no wounds on his chest.

"Brother Li, it just burrowed itself inside, hurt so much. What should I do, I’m turning into an abomination, and I’m still a Night Patrol," Qi Badao said with a bitter face, which effectively ended his ambition.

"When did this happen, and how are you feeling now?" Li Xin asked.

Perhaps because of Li Xin’s steady demeanor, Qi Badao’s mood improved slightly. He bit his lip, "Last night. That thing is entrenched in my heart. I don’t know, it’s just terrifying. It’s alive, damn it, too disgusting. Can it be dug out?"

He shivered, feeling uneasy all over.

The black cat, seeing Qi Badao wasn’t dying immediately, licked its paw and quietly watched. Li Xin pulled a chair over, "Don’t scare yourself, it won’t kill you instantly. It could even be an opportunity. First, tell me about yesterday."

"Opportunity?" Qi Badao was taken aback, "Yesterday was a gathering of all the Hall Masters of the Hundred Martial Hall. Even though my Spade Hall is small, I could participate. We drank a lot, and then I blacked out. I was awakened by intense pain and saw that thing burrowing into me. I passed out again and woke up dumped at the end of an alley, in this state."

"Can you control it, force it out so I can see?" Li Xin asked.

Qi Badao thought for a moment, rubbed his chest, and shook his head, "It’s unresponsive."
