The scene instantly devolved into chaos, with Qian Chao and Gou Da Fu making a swift escape. If they fell into Qin Hui's hands, they would likely be thoroughly bullied.
Qin Hui had no interest in dealing with the others; Li Da Zhuang could handle them. However, Qian Chao and Gou Da Fu would not escape his notice.
Ten minutes later, Qian Chao and Gou Da Fu reached a dense jungle, gasping for breath.
"Damn it, this Qin Hui actually has such powerful henchmen. I shouldn't have come in the first place," Qian Chao fumed in helplessness. Now they had been completely captured.
"Fortunately, we ran fast, and they didn't chase us. As long as we're still alive, we'll have a chance to make a comeback," Gou Da Fu sighed from the side. As long as one was alive, there was a chance to turn the tables.
"Oh? Is that so?"
"How do you know there's still a chance to make a comeback?"
At this moment, Qin Hui suddenly appeared behind them, startling them both.
"Qin Hui, how... how could you..." Gou Da Fu stammered, his face turning pale with fright.
"Qin Hui, you're asking for death!" Without another word, Qian Chao drew the dagger at his waist and lunged towards Qin Hui's heart. No matter how powerful Qin Hui was, his henchmen were the formidable ones. Did he really fear an ordinary person? However, as the dagger got within three inches of Qin Hui's heart, it stopped. No matter how hard Qian Chao pushed, it wouldn't advance another inch!
Gou Da Fu stood frozen, clearly contemplating whether he should make a move.
"Why are you still standing there? Attack!" Qian Chao shouted.
Startled awake, Gou Da Fu threw a punch at Qin Hui's head. If Qin Hui died here, the two of them would have a much greater chance of turning things around.
Unfortunately, Gou Da Fu trusted Qian Chao too much and had no idea of Qin Hui's true strength. He might have lived, but by attacking Qin Hui, he had completely forfeited any chance of survival.
Bang! Qin Hui's punch landed directly on Gou Da Fu's forehead. The force wasn't great, but it was enough to blow Gou Da Fu's head apart.
Such a tragic scene left Qian Chao's face ashen, his hands falling limply to his sides, the dagger clattering to the ground. It was only then that Qian Chao realized Qin Hui was also a martial artist! But then, why would so many martial artists work as sailors? This was something Qian Chao would never understand in his lifetime!
"No, don't kill me. I'll give you anything you want," Qian Chao immediately fell to his knees before Qin Hui, begging in a low voice. He knew the power of a martial artist; if Qin Hui was determined to kill him, Qian Chao had no chance of survival.
"Kill you?" Qin Hui chuckled coldly. "Do you think someone like you is worth me lifting a finger?" Qin Hui chuckled coldly and then struck Qian Chao with a palm, knocking him unconscious before tying him up securely.
When Qin Hui returned to the tribe with Qian Chao, the situation had already calmed down. Qian Chao's men were divided into three groups: one group consisted of women, who posed no threat to Qin Hui. Another group was Qian Chao's accomplices, loyal to him, so they were all tied up, to be granted freedom only when they obeyed. The last group was Qian Chao's henchmen, who were martial artists and the most dangerous. However, they were currently being beaten by Li Da Zhuang, crying out on the ground.
"Brother Hui, what should we do next?" Li Da Zhuang asked, walking over.
Qin Hui hesitated for a moment before replying, "Hand those women over to Sister Shi Jun. As for these men, you can tame them and make them do all the heavy labor. I'll deal with the martial artists."
"Okay." Li Da Zhuang nodded without further questions.
With the immediate matters handled, Li Da Zhuang had Qian Chao hung up. Helpless, Qian Chao was terrified under the gaze of so many angry eyes.
Outside the tribe, Qin Hui looked at the five martial artists before him, a chilling smile playing on his lips. These five martial artists were accustomed to doing evil deeds with Qian Chao and were not good people. Furthermore, there were ways for martial artists to settle their own disputes.
"Kid, I advise you to release us quickly, or you'll regret it," one of the martial artists dared to say, thinking simply that if he couldn't beat Li Da Zhuang, he could at least beat Qin Hui.
"Fine, since you're so eager to die, I'll get rid of you first." Qin Hui walked up to the martial artist and placed a large hand on the crown of his head. A powerful suction force began to draw the true qi from his dantian.
"Ah!" The martial artist let out a chilling scream, his eyes rolling back as his body convulsed as if being shocked by thousands of volts. The other martial artists watched in terror, realizing at this moment that the person before them was the true powerhouse!
Moments later, the martial artist's body withered, and he collapsed to the ground like a fallen leaf, devoid of life. Qin Hui nodded with a slight satisfaction. As his Yin-Yang Dual Life Art became more proficient, his method of absorbing the opponent's energy grew increasingly effortless.
With one martial artist down, Qin Hui's gaze locked onto the remaining four. Seeing Qin Hui's benevolent smile sent shivers down their spines. Ten minutes later, all these martial artists lay on the ground, none able to escape Qin Hui's grasp. Absorbing the strength of these five martial artists undoubtedly increased Qin Hui's power, though he was still some distance from the Half-step Grandmaster realm.
After disposing of the bodies, Qin Hui returned to his tribe. The Qian Chao who had been hung up was now unrecognizable, emitting foul odors and bearing countless wounds, clearly indicating that everyone wanted Qian Chao dead!
"Qin Hui, if you have the guts, kill me! What kind of ability is it to torture me like this!" Seeing Qin Hui, Qian Chao spat out a mouthful of rotten vegetables and shouted angrily.
Listening to Qian Chao's futile roar, Qin Hui chuckled coldly. "Right, you're not entirely useless. At least you can let someone know about your ill intentions." With that, Qin Hui walked towards the cave. Wang Xiaoyan was still there, and Qin Hui intended to use this opportunity to resolve her inner turmoil.
According to Li Da Zhuang's confession, Qian Chao had slept with all the women who followed him multiple times during this period. Those women, to survive, had no choice but to go along with Qian Chao. If Wang Xiaoyan found out that Qian Chao was this kind of person, her inner turmoil would likely be resolved, and the female ghost would be able to fully occupy Wang Xiaoyan's body. Qin Hui loved doing things that achieved two objectives with one action. Once this matter was settled, Qian Chao's fate would become unimportant.
