I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon?-Chapter 133: Night Raid the Hall Master? That’s My Boss

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Night Raid the Hall Master? That’s My Boss

"?"

The middle-aged man stared at the Star Stones in his palm, his head buzzing. He still hadn’t come to his senses.

Inside the bathroom, the air was calm. The sound of dripping water echoed.

The violet lightning that had been gathering moments ago suddenly vanished, as if nothing had happened...

"It... it just fizzled out?"

He stared blankly for a moment, looking at Qin Yang in disbelief. Then he looked down at the Star Stones again. Not a trace of Star Force fluctuation could be detected, and the Array Patterns were dim.

In other words,

in the few seconds Qin Yang had held them, he had completely destroyed the Array Patterns on the Star Stones. The ones in his hand were now just two ordinary rocks!

"How is this possible?!"

The middle-aged man was both shocked and furious.

’I just fucking lit the fuse!’

’Now, without the Star Stones to trigger an explosion...’

’How am I supposed to report back to the people in the sect?!!’

At this thought, he was instantly overcome with rage. He glared at Qin Yang, and upon noticing the administrator’s uniform, his fury ignited, and he completely lost his senses.

"You’re courting death!"

BOOM!

Star Force erupted in an instant, and the air pressure inside the bathroom spread out in all directions.

The middle-aged man raised his hand and chopped down viciously at Qin Yang, aiming straight for the vital points on his face.

"..."

Qin Yang watched the incoming palm as if viewing it in slow motion. He couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and sigh.

"I think you’re the one courting death, aren’t you?"

The words had barely left his lips.

THUD!

A muffled sound of flesh and bone caving in rang out!

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened. Still frozen in his striking posture, he slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.

His sternum was caved in, revealing the stark white of his rib cage. The heart it had protected was shattered, and it had stopped beating instantly!

Death had come in an instant!

Without a heart to support him,

the middle-aged man’s body went limp. He collapsed to the ground, blood trickling from his mouth and nose as he let out a low gasp. He hadn’t even seen how Qin Yang had attacked.

’So strong!’

He turned his head to look at Qin Yang and managed a difficult smile. "Killing me is useless..."

"Hnngh... hnngh... Don’t even think about getting any information from me. I’ll never talk."

"Tsk. I wasn’t planning on wasting my time with you anyway."

Hearing this, Qin Yang shook his head, slowly squatted down, and placed his palm on the man’s forehead.

The next moment.

BANG!

Star Force exploded from his palm, shattering the man’s life force on the spot.

The man died with a look of astonishment, his eyes wide open as he stared at Qin Yang, unable to rest in peace.

’He never imagined the other party would be so decisive...’

’He didn’t even intend to interrogate me!’

"Your kind is all tight-lipped. Rather than waste time, a Soul Search is much faster."

Qin Yang met the corpse’s vacant gaze and directly used the Soul Devouring Technique.

Wisps of Spiritual Power were released, drilling into the man’s brain, devouring his mental defenses, and easily reaching the deepest layers of his memory.

Soon.

A flood of memories rushed in...

"Beast Tide... cause chaos in Jianghai City... a suicide mission..."

A moment later.

Qin Yang sorted through the information he had obtained and understood the full story.

According to the information from the Soul Search,

this middle-aged man was a Death Warrior!

And his mission was simple.

To put it bluntly, he was to take advantage of the Jianghai Library’s daytime opening hours to sneak inside, detonate the unstable Star Stones, and create a major disturbance.

’Is this to divert Jianghai City’s police force...?’

Having discovered this much, Qin Yang stopped the Soul Search. He conjured a wisp of Beast Fire on his fingertip to cremate the man’s remains, then walked over to the sink to wash his hands, the water splashing from the faucet...

’Looks like Jianghai City won’t be peaceful for a while.’

Just now, during the Soul Search, aside from some miscellaneous information, he had also uncovered another important matter related to Jianghai City’s City Defense Array.

You see,

the city walls of Jianghai had a long history.

The City Defense Array laid out upon them had always been the full responsibility of the Li Family, who guarded the peace of all of Jianghai City.

To prevent the Array from activating, these Demons had specifically hired several Innate Experts to launch a night raid on the Li Family and assassinate their patriarch, Li Daoming.

And with Li Daoming being the number one Array master in Jianghai, his death would mean the City Defense Array would lose its crucial core.

At that time,

without the City Defense Array protecting the city, the Beast Tide’s army could easily scale the walls, march straight in, and wantonly slaughter the innocent citizens inside Jianghai City.

’When that time comes, how many citizens will be able to fight back against those Star Beasts?’

Thinking of this,

Qin Yang shook the water from his hands and slowly walked out of the restroom, having already decided to help the Li Family.

After all,

Li Daoming was his direct superior.

’The Hall Master you’re planning to ambush is my boss!’

He had observed the man during his time at the library.

He was a refined and courteous man who treated his subordinates well and didn’t put on any airs as a leader.

If something were to happen to Li Daoming... there would definitely be a major shake-up at the library, and a new group of leaders would be brought in.

’If that really happens... my cushy, slacker job will be toast!’

Besides.

If Jianghai City falls,

it wouldn’t just be the citizens who suffer. He would be affected too and would have to find another place to take it easy.

’What a hassle!’

’Either way, it’s only right that I give them a hand.’

With this in mind, Qin Yang left the restroom and headed directly for Area 2.

.....

.....

Area 2.

The library’s patrons had all left.

By the bookshelves.

Li Qinghe was boredly counting the departing patrons when she caught a glimpse of Qin Yang walking toward her out of the corner of her eye.

’Hm? Why is he coming over here?’

There was only one minute left until closing time. Logically, he should be at the time clock right now, getting ready to punch out.

’Why would he have the spare time to come see me?’ 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

’Strange.’

Thinking this, Li Qinghe hurried over to him. Noticing the grave expression on Qin Yang’s face, she asked cautiously,

"Master, what brings you here? Is something wrong?"

"I came to give you something to prepare. Tonight might not be peaceful."

Qin Yang said in a low voice, leaning against a bookshelf. He rummaged through his pocket and took out several Star Stones, placing them in her hand.

"Not peaceful?"

Li Qinghe took the Star Stones, examining the Array Patterns on them, which emanated an ancient aura.

This was the first time Qin Yang had ever given her anything.

Moreover,

it was also the first time she had ever seen him look so serious!

"Don’t tell me something is about to happen in the library?"

Li Qinghe asked hesitantly, "Should I report this to the Steward?"

"No need. The incident in the library is already over."

Qin Yang glanced in the direction of the restroom and instructed in a low voice, "Take these Star Stones back to your father. The situation is unstable right now, so be careful on your way."

"Just a moment ago, your grandmaster sent me a message. He said your father might be in danger tonight, and that you should strengthen the security around him."

"As for these Star Stones, keep them on you. If you encounter danger tonight... just pour your Star Force into them without hesitation!"

As soon as these solemn words were spoken,

Li Qinghe’s expression changed drastically!
