Chapter 198: Chapter 116: Azure Thunder Slash (Part 2)

“Issue the prohibition order, no one is allowed to approach.”

“Conduct a second search of the surrounding area to ensure nothing is missed.”

Amidst the exchange of voices, instructions were continuously issued.

The Patrol Bureau members swiftly sprang into action, setting up security measures around the last factory building.

Not far away.

A real-time communication was initiated, and within the light screen, the figure of Song Shulin appeared, exchanging reports.

Qin Jin stood in place, staring at the giant balance inside the factory, fixating on the corpses on the scale.

Just then, a voice rose from behind him.

The arrival looked familiar to Qin Jin; it was one of the team captains.

Facing Qin Jin’s gaze, the other party smiled apologetically and earnestly said, “Qin Jin, I have to apologize to you.”

“Apologize?”

Qin Jin slightly raised his eyebrows.

“Earlier, I questioned Brother Yan about whether you could serve as the team captain.”

“Now it seems, I underestimated you.”

His gaze fell on the [Celestial Might] that Qin Jin was holding, showing a look of respect: “Breaking formations alone, charging forward, even mighty generals of ancient times were no more than this.”

Qin Jin smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He turned back, taking another look at the balance in the center of the factory.

His brows furrowed slightly; he looked at the apologetic captain and suddenly asked, “How long until the Bureau’s esoteric experts arrive?”

“They are already on the way.”

“They should arrive soon.”

Though unsure why Qin Jin was asking, he immediately answered.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin quickly walked to the other end.

There.

The communication device was set up, with Song Shulin exchanging words with Yan Yan.

In this operation, Yan Yan was the frontline commander, while Song Shulin acted as the overall coordinator of the incident.

When Qin Jin approached, Yan Yan stepped aside slightly, allowing Qin Jin’s image to be captured within the communication frame. Song Shulin smiled: “Qin Jin, thank you.”

“I have witnessed your accomplishments.”

“After this incident is over, I’ll report it specifically and commend you, for Martial Abyss as well, I’ll…”

“Director Song.”

Qin Jin interrupted him.

Seeing this, Song Shulin didn’t get angry; instead, he became more serious. “What did you discover?”

Communicating with a smart person is always the easiest.

As Yan Yan also became serious, Qin Jin said gravely, “Ever since I approached this area, an aversion has arisen within me.”

“And now, I can’t determine what exactly has been set up inside the last factory, but as time goes by, this feeling of aversion is continuously increasing.”

“Here, the Evil God Sect must have left some methods, and it’s likely within that last factory.”

“Director Song, I propose two options.”

Qin Jin’s voice was steady, and his gaze shifted to the large balance in the distance: “Either the personnel stationed nearby are evacuated now, and we respond after the enemy’s setup takes effect.”

“Or…”

“I step in and attempt to destroy this place to see if we might directly resolve it.”

Qin Jin’s voice was clear and decisive.

Once he discovered it, he wouldn’t ignore it.

The arrangement by the Patrol Bureau was sound; after the frontline battle ended, professionals would come to confirm the final situation, which was proper.

However…

The techniques of Esoteric Buddhism are secretive; such a well-handled response could give some setups the time to take effect.

Qin Jin could sincerely feel the growing aversion in his heart.

In the communication frame, Song Shulin was silent for a few seconds.

He looked at Qin Jin in the frame and asked solemnly, “Are you confident?”

He asked a question and then added, “By confidence, I mean if something goes wrong during your attempt to destroy it, can you retreat safe and sound?”

Qin Jin nodded slightly.

“Good!”

“Yan Yan.”

In the frame, Song Shulin straightened his posture and said, “Order all personnel to immediately move away from the target area.”

“Make room for Qin Jin to take action.”

“The team should be set up in a tiered formation, ready to support Qin Jin.”

“Understood!”

Yan Yan’s voice was resolute.

He turned back, looked at Qin Jin, and although he didn’t speak, it was as if he had said a lot.

The orders were swiftly issued, and the action teams distanced themselves, leaving only Qin Jin’s figure in the entire center of the processing plant within a short time.

“This feeling of aversion is getting thicker.”

“On the surface, it appears extremely calm, with no anomalies; is this the method of Esoteric Buddhism…”

Thoughts rushed through Qin Jin’s mind.

Today was the first time he truly faced an Esoteric Practitioner, and compared to the Martial Arts Family, the Esoteric Practitioners’ abilities could indeed be called flashy.

His gaze fell on the balance.

At this moment.

In his spiritual connection, Han Miao’s voice suddenly sounded.

“Qin Jin, how is the situation there?”

“I saw personnel moving to the rear.”

“A vague bad feeling is in my heart.”

Qin Jin responded calmly, “Nothing is wrong.”

The more extraordinary the spirit talent, the easier it is to sense some kind of foreboding from the unknown.

As a specially recruited S-Class Student by the Martial Abyss, Han Miao undoubtedly belonged to this category. Her feeling also confirmed Qin Jin’s judgment.

“Whatever the arrangements are.”

“If it’s completely eradicated, it should not take effect, right?”

The thought flashed in Qin Jin’s mind, as he withdrew [Celestial Might] in his hand, reverting it to a bracelet form, and let his primordial power surge into the spatial expansion equipment.

At that instant…

In silence and without sound, his strongest equipment, his closest ally, emerged.

Azure Thunder Profound Halberd!

After its manufacture, the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd had followed him and participated in many battles within the Great Wilderness, yet it hadn’t shown its prowess in the Star Sea before now.
