Bullets shot out, instantly enveloping Li Hai’s entire body.
Yet, he neither dodged nor avoided, allowing the rain of bullets to strike him.
No, Li Hai raised his left hand, and the words “hell” lit up on his palm.
Buzz—
In the next instant, an invisible vortex suddenly appeared in his palm, sucking in all the bullets that had come crashing towards him.
The hundred musketeers and Zhou Yushu, who had witnessed this scene with their own eyes, were all stunned speechless.
“How is this possible? Impossible! What kind of Demonic Technique is this?!” Zhou Yushu trembled all over and turned to flee into the residence.
But just then, Li Hai stomped the ground beneath his feet with a thunderous boom, sending hundreds of shattered rocks and dirt flying. Then, a powerful force flowed through his entire body, layering and adding strength, combining his intent and power into his palms, and finally, he pushed forward fiercely.
Boom—
Centered on him, the air within several meters around him immediately boiled and exploded, roaring and howling as it wrapped around the hundreds of shattered stones, blasting them towards the Zhou Family Residence like a sudden storm.
Their speed was so fast that it was no less than gunshots, and even subtly surpassed them.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang~
The hundred musketeers lined up at the entrance of the residence were the first to be struck by this surging barrage of stone bullets, which pierced through their bodies and heads. They didn't even have time to let out a single scream before they were reduced to a pile of broken corpses.
Zhou Yushu, who was positioned behind them and blocked by human walls, escaped the immediate danger and did not die on the spot.
However, both of his legs were brutally broken, and his abdomen had a large hole with his intestines spilling out. He could only lie by the door, wailing intensely.
Li Hai found his screams grating, so he walked over and stomped on his head, blowing it apart.
A good-for-nothing who only knew how to do evil and enjoy himself, without even a shred of martial arts skill, what use was there in keeping him?
Immediately, Li Hai stepped into the Zhou Family Residence.
After the bombardment just now, the great residence was now in disarray, with blood-soaked and incomplete corpses, injured people screaming and wailing with twisted limbs, and Zhou Family servants taking advantage of the chaos to flee with valuables.
Seeing this scene, Li Hai suddenly felt a lack of interest.
Boring, truly boring.
To put it bluntly, they were just ordinary people who couldn't even withstand a firearm attack.
Li Hai didn't like killing ordinary people; he only wanted to kill ghosts and experts.
“Where are the experts?”
Following the vague guidance of his wild intuition, Li Hai unhesitatingly charged in one direction.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
With loud bangs and large amounts of dust and debris, the pavilions, courtyards, and rockeries blocking his path, no matter how sturdy, were brutally smashed through.
As for the Zhou Family members who unluckily happened to be in Li Hai's way during this time, regardless of gender, age, or youth, they were also unlucky enough to be smashed into large amounts of bloody mist and shattered flesh, leaving no bones behind.
Li Hai felt no psychological burden for these brutally killed people.
Since they enjoyed the wealth of the Zhou Family, they naturally had to bear the consequences of the Zhou Family.
This was only natural and right.
“Villain!”
As he moved forward, a furious roar suddenly came from Li Hai’s right.
Immediately after, a pair of dark blue hands, coiling with streams of foul black Qi, slapped violently, aiming to strike Li Hai’s broad back.
Yet, Li Hai neither dodged nor avoided this attack, which clearly carried a poisonous attribute. Instead, the words “hell” glowed with a bloody shimmer on the skin of his back.
Buzz—
Instantly, the pair of dark blue hands was firmly bitten by the cave-heaven portal that opened on Li Hai’s back.
Collect items, close portal.
As the words “hell” vanished, the pair of dark blue hands, along with a pair of dark blue arms, also disappeared into nothingness.
“Ah ah ah!”
Blood spurted and screams immediately erupted, and the sneak attacker instantly became a disabled person with no arms.
With such severe injuries, how could he still have Battle Intent?
Ignoring everything else, this person immediately had the idea of retreating and wanted to escape.
But before he could endure the pain and flee, Li Hai, who was sprinting forward, immediately stopped, turned around, and with a raised hand, simultaneously blasted out two blood-stained, dark blue arms from his left and right palms, slamming them fiercely onto this person's forehead.
Bang!
After a muffled thud, the sneak attacker's head and face instantly caved in on both sides. After spewing out a large amount of red and white matter, he swayed and collapsed to the ground.
Dead.
“Poison Sand Palm, average grade and poorly practiced. In a real fight, it’s even worse than Guo Huaijin, but it’s enough to dominate a town. In short… trash.”
After leaving a comment, Li Hai once again transformed into a locomotive, smashing through walls and charging towards the next location.
A long time later—
“Villain, I swear we cannot coexist!”
“Thief, come and face your death!”
Amidst a pile of ruins and broken walls, two old men in brocade robes, one holding a saber and the other a spear, roared furiously as they simultaneously charged from the left and right towards Li Hai, who had a calm, even slightly bored, expression.
“Such a large Zhou Family, and not even one at Guo Huaijin’s level.”
Li Hai simultaneously raised his hands to catch the weapons of the two old men on both sides, muttering boredly, “There are only four weaklings at the Qi circulation level. It’s truly uninteresting.”
As he whispered, the words “hell” suddenly flickered in his left and right palms, biting off both of the old men’s arms, along with their staff and saber, and taking them into the cave-heaven.
“Ah ah ah! My hands, my hands!”
“You used Demonic Technique! You are a monster, you are a monster!”
The two old men’s incessant wailing was truly annoying, so Li Hai, frowning with his bald brows, raised his hands again and returned “the things” to them.
Thus, after a series of pleasant sounds of flesh being pierced, the two old men were impaled by their own weapons, kneeling weakly and dying with their heads bowed.
From then on, the entire “essence” of the Zhou Family Residence was completely wiped out by Li Hai.
He also acquired “Poison Sand Palm,” “Poison-Infused Saber,” “Poison-Embedded Finger,” “Vicious Staff,” and “Southern Border Zou Clan Poison Art Compendium (Incomplete),” totaling four martial Cultivation Techniques and one guide for poison prevention and usage.
“An entire family practicing poison-type Cultivation Techniques, truly incredible,” Li Hai shook his head, speechless.
Although he mostly wouldn’t use these poison arts, it meant he had a considerable foundation in poison techniques, making it easier for him to deal with various poisons and toxic substances used by enemies. Therefore, this trip was quite fruitful.
At the same time, Li Hai also plundered some money from this large residence, enough to last him for a long time.
Immediately, Li Hai leaped onto a three-story pavilion, looking down and surveying the surroundings.
Thus, the entire Zhou Family Residence suddenly came into his view.
This residence covered an area of ten mu, with pavilions, gardens, courtyards, and covered walkways spread throughout according to a certain feng shui layout. At a glance, it made one feel that it was lavish and magnificent.
“It is indeed impressive.”
Li Hai sneered coldly, “Built with a lot of ill-gotten gains from the common people, I presume.”
As far as he knew, the Zhou Family had only risen to prominence for just over sixty years, so their foundation was not deep.
However, judging from the scale of this courtyard and the reputation of the Zhou Family among the people of Niujiao Town, the Zhou Family had accumulated such vast wealth in just sixty years, which surely meant they had committed countless evils.
“It deserves to be burned clean.”
Thinking this, Li Hai pulled out all the yellow talismans from his pocket.
